Evernorth postpones Nasdaq debut after administrative delay

Evernorth postponed the Nasdaq debut of its merged company with Armada Acquisition Corp. II because of an administrative delay. The transaction is now expected to close on October 9, and the combined company's Class A shares are expected to begin Nasdaq trading on October 12, subject to closing and listing conditions. Evernorth expects to hold approximately 473 million XRP and receive approximately $300 million in gross cash proceeds before expenses at closing.

The postponement changes the timetable for investors seeking listed equity exposure to Evernorth's XRP treasury, while leaving the transaction structure unchanged, according to the company. Completion still depends on customary closing conditions and Nasdaq listing requirements.
