US Merger & Acquisition SEC Filings — May 13, 2026
The 15 filings reveal a vibrant SPAC ecosystem with 12/15 involving blank-check companies advancing through IPOs (West Enclave, Starlink AI), unit separations (Maywood, Inflection Point), deadline extensions (Aquaron to 2027, GP-Act III to Nov 2026, Future Vision to June 2026, SIM to July 2027), and merger amendments (Live Oak V, FG Merger II), signaling sustained M&A pursuit amid avoiding liquidations. A standout airline sector consolidation: Allegiant Travel completed its $140M-synergy acquisition of Sun Country on May 13, 2026, forming a leisure airline giant with 195 aircraft and EPS accretion in year 1, while Sun Country delisted. M3-Brigade's proxy for ReserveOne de-SPAC targets June 15 EGM with PIPE at ~$500M valuation. One termination (Iris Acquisition Corp II LOI with Freedom Metals) stands out negatively. Target A&B Aerospace (PMGC) showed strong YoY trends: 9-mo revenue +12.8% to $3.6M, 3-mo +25.5% to $1.3M, net income swing to profit. No insider trading or capital allocation shifts noted across filings; portfolio trend shows SPAC extensions preserving ~$100M+ trusts each, with forward catalysts clustered May-June 2026.
