Tottenham Acquisition I Ltd. (NASDAQ:TOTA) announced in an 8-K filing that its shareholders approved its combination with biopharmaceutical firm Clene Nanomedicine Inc. at a special meeting earlier today.
The transaction was approved unanimously with 92.3% of shares participating, however Tottenham did not divulge redemption figures in the filing. The company went into the vote with an estimated $11.02 per share in trust and previously saw 58.6% of its shares redeemed through a series of extension votes. But, having opened ahead of the vote at $11.88, any further redemptions were likely limited.
Tottenham initially announced its $542 million combination with Clene Nanomedicine on September 2. Clene has developed a novel orally administered drug platform that could potentially treat multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS, with one Phase 3 trial and multiple Phase 2 clinical studies ongoing. It is also launching two additional Phase 2 COVID-19 studies with a second nanotherapeutic asset, CNM-ZnAg, in Brazil and Russia.
Several measures up for a vote at the meeting passed unanimously, however 131,903 shares voted against a number of proposed amendments to the combined company’s charter. For a full list of measures on the ballot as well as vote tallies, click HERE.

Remember the metaverse? Many do not. Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) attempted transition to virtually living and working seemed to mark a trend that went up and down quickly, but one SPAC deal has both survived that roller coaster and may rise with a second. Back in December 2022, Newbury Street (NASDAQ:NBST) announced a $1.85 billion combination with...
At the SPAC of Dawn Tucked into the bill that provides $95 billion in funding to American allies passed by the House this weekend is another measure that is likely to have far more impact on at least one pending deal in SPAC world. It would appear that the timing was fortuitous for TikTok rival...
