Evernorth clears shareholder vote ahead of planned Nasdaq debut
Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders approved the business combination with Ripple-backed XRP treasury company Evernorth. The transaction is expected to close on October 7, with the combined company scheduled to start Nasdaq trading on October 8, subject to remaining conditions. Evernorth expects to hold about 473 million XRP and receive about $300 million in gross cash proceeds.
Why it matters
The listing would create a Nasdaq-traded vehicle for investors seeking exposure to Evernorth's XRP treasury. Evernorth says it intends to deploy its holdings through yield, ecosystem and capital-markets activities rather than merely keep the tokens idle.
