The vote is not the story. RF Acquisition Corp II held its extraordinary general meeting on August 19. Every business-combination proposal printed the same tape: 6,765,584 for, 440,604 against, zero abstain. On a record date of 8,343,765 ordinary shares, that is a clean majority — not a squeaker.
The 8-K filed the next morning is the one that matters for a Rights book. Holders submitted preliminary redemption requests on 3,956,323 shares. That is about 47% of the record-date share count. Those requests can still be withdrawn before close, with the company’s consent. Until they are, almost half the trust is spoken for as cash, not as equity that rolls into NYB Holdings.
What the 8-K actually said
Item 5.07 is the vote. Item 8.01 is the redemption estimate. There is no exhibit press release on this filing. That is useful. You are reading the statutory report, not a furnished headline.
The F-4 for this deal does not live on the SPAC. It lives on NYB Holdings Ltd, which already carries the NYB ticker on EDGAR. Co-registrant is RF Acquisition Corp II. If you only search RFAI, you will under-count how late this book already is.
How we score it
A passed meeting plus a proxy that already went effective is as late as the close path gets. Holder quality is a different axis. Redemptions at this size shrink the cash that PubCo inherits. They do not, by themselves, kill a deal that shareholders just approved.
Watch the next 8-K for a final redemption figure, not another 425. That print tells you what is left in trust when NYB lists.
Not investment advice. Vote and redemption counts are taken from the company’s Form 8-K.
