Armada Acquisition Corp. II, the SPAC seeking to take XRP treasury operator Evernorth Holdings public, has borrowed $135,000 from its own sponsor to fund SPAC administration. Evernorth's amended registration statement still carries no shareholder record date or meeting date, while one subscriber's XRP commitment sits on a conditional Oct. 19, 2026 marker.
The SPAC seeking to take XRP treasury operator Evernorth Holdings public has borrowed $135,000 from Arrington XRP Capital Fund, which is both Armada's sponsor and the subscriber behind a major XRP commitment to the transaction. The unsecured note was signed July 27 and drawn July 31.
No vote timetable disclosed yet
Its proceeds may cover ordinary administrative expenses, and Armada can seek more funding subject to Arrington's discretion. The note matures when the business combination closes or terminates, whichever comes first. That structure is consistent with a working-capital bridge for the SPAC process and does not, on its own, signal distress at Evernorth.
Evernorth's July 29 amended registration statement was still preliminary as of Aug. 3, with its shareholder record date and meeting date left blank. SEC filing feeds showed no later effectiveness notice or definitive proxy by that date.
What subscribers stand to lose
Filed subscription agreements can terminate at the earliest of three events: termination of the business-combination agreement, mutual written agreement, or 12 months after each subscription agreement's own date. Arrington's Series C agreement, dated Oct. 19, 2025, therefore reaches its conditional 12-month point on Oct. 19, 2026 unless an earlier event or signed change intervenes. Other subscriber exhibits show placeholder execution dates, so their individual points remain undisclosed.
Advance subscribers committed $214.05 million in cash and 600,000 XRP to the deal. The amended filing says $214 million of that cash purchased about 84.4 million XRP, with those tokens and the contributed XRP held in conditional pre-closing custody. If Armada fails to close by the business-combination agreement's Outside Date without a written extension, a return process begins for each advance subscriber's share of that custody XRP and residual cash.
Delayed subscribers' $10.5 million and 200,000 XRP are due only at closing. A Ripple affiliate placed another 50 million XRP in pre-closing custody under a separate subscription. RippleWorks separately supplied Arrington with $500,000 and about 211.3 million XRP that Arrington must invest through the Series C agreement, and RippleWorks may withdraw that combined investment if the business combination is not completed.
Ripple's own direct contribution sits outside those subscription pools: about 126.8 million XRP in exchange for Pathfinder units that would convert into Evernorth shares at closing. That agreement becomes void if the combination terminates, but the filed text does not establish the same custody-return process laid out for advance subscribers.
Evernorth can still complete the listing before Arrington's disclosed termination point. But as of Aug. 3, no public vote timetable existed, and an effectiveness notice, definitive proxy, financing amendment or waiver would change the timing analysis. Until then, Oct. 19 remains an Arrington-specific contractual marker rather than a universal deadline for the deal.
