Forfeiture of Founder Shares
As previously reported, on
August 10, 2026, Pinnacle Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per
share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one right to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation
of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Right”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. The Company also granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to
an additional 3,000,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. PAC Sponsor, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”),
owned an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”),
at the consummation of the IPO, up to 750,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised.
On September 21, 2026, following the expiration of the underwriters’ over-allotment option without any exercise, 750,000 shares
of Class B Ordinary Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor in order for it to maintain ownership of 20.0% of the issued and outstanding
ordinary shares of the Company (excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the private placement units held by the Sponsor). Such
forfeited shares were cancelled by the Company.
Separate Trading of Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights
On
September 25, 2026, the Company announced that, commencing on September 25, 2026, the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade
the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Rights included in the Units. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol “PNAQ. U.” The Class A Ordinary Shares and the Rights are expected to trade on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbols “PNAQ” and “PNAQ. RT,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers
contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class
A Ordinary Shares and Rights.
