Organization and General
Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
The Company’s efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
The Company’s sponsor is M-Star Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands incorporated company (the “Sponsor”). As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the proposed initial public offering (“IPO”) and its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.
The Company initially had 9 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 45 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger its automatic winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (“Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”). As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
On April 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of units which includes an additional units as a result of the underwriters’ fully exercise of the over-allotment, at $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. See “ Note 3 — Initial Public Offering” for further information.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting which held on October 30, 2023, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date up to six (6) months which the Company must consummate a business combination to August 5, 2024.
On August 6, 2024, the Company filed the preliminary proxy statements to SEC, which had proposed to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company to extend the date of consummate a business combination to April 5, 2025.
On March 17, 2025, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in connection with calling on an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on April 2, 2025, which had proposed to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from April 5, 2025 to January 5, 2026.
On April 2, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that (i) the Staff has determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq; (ii) trading of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, Units, Rights, and Warrants will be suspended at the opening of business on April 9, 2025; and (iii) a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement. Since the Company failed to complete its initial business combination by March 31, 2025, the Company did not comply with IM-5101-2, and its securities are now subject to delisting.
A Form 25-NSE has been filed by Nasdaq with the SEC on July 14, 2025. Following the filing of the Form 25-NSE, the Company’s securities have been delisted from Nasdaq. The Company’s ordinary shares, units, rights and warrants are currently traded on the OTCID Market. The Company is currently working diligently to complete a business combination as soon as practicable.
The Trust Account
As of April 5, 2022, a total of $115,682,250 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the private placement transaction completed with the Sponsor, was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $861,784 and $6,677,519 held in the Wilmington Trust account, respectively.
The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in United States government treasuries. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.
Liquidity
On April 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 115,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant to purchase one ordinary share (each a “Warrant”, and, collectively, the “Warrants”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. units (including the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in the IPO) at $ per unit (the “Public Units’), generating gross proceeds of $
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor 3,300,000. See “Note 4 — Private Placement” for further information. units at $ per unit in a private placement generating total gross proceeds of $
Offering costs amounted to $5,704,741 consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $2,875,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $529,741 of other offering costs. Except for $ of subscription of ordinary shares (as defined in Note 5), the Company received net proceeds of $115,682,250 from the IPO and the private placement.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash held in escrow, $4,972,241 and $4,297,517 of working capital deficit, respectively.
In September 2021, the Company repurchased of founder shares for $ . In September 2021, the Company issued of founder shares for $ which include an aggregate of up to ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own % of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO. On April 5, 2022, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full, accordingly, no Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture.
Going Concern and Management Liquidity Plan
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,972,241.
The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on April 5, 2022 had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances from related party and from the issuance of ordinary shares.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period after the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain other financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination.
If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The Company has filed a preliminary proxy statement to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, extending the deadline for consummating a business combination to January 5, 2026. The Company will have approximately 6 months to consummate a business combination as of June 30, 2025.
It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
