Crown PropTech Acquisitions filed an 8-K on September 2, 2026, announcing the execution of an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement with Mkango Rare Earths Limited (PubCo) and its subsidiaries. The agreement consolidates prior amendments and clarifies share reclassification timing relative to the Share Adjustment. Concurrently, the parties entered Amendment No. 1 to the Sponsor Support Agreement, updating escrow provisions for Founder Shares held by co-sponsor CIIG Management III LLC and adding a termination clause if Available Gross SPAC Cash exceeds $10,000,000 at Closing. The filing also details revised Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreements, shortening transfer restrictions for NRA Investors from one year to 180 days (subject to price conditions). Additionally, Crown PropTech entered into non-redemption agreements with BlackRock-managed funds to hold 400,000 public shares at the upcoming Business Combination Meeting in exchange for modified lock-up terms on approximately 510,000 founder shares. This transaction aims to secure at least $4.8 million in the Trust Account and contribute toward a $5,000,000 minimum cash condition. Crown PropTech Acquisitions operates as a blank check company (SPAC) focused on effecting a merger with Mkango Rare Earths Limited, a rare earth mining and exploration company.
