## Summary

Agility Robotics has secured shareholder approval for its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company. More than 84% of votes cast on November 2 supported the deal, which is expected to close on November 4. The combined entity will begin trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker AGLT on November 5. The transaction values Agility at a $2.5 billion pre-money equity value.

The deal is expected to provide Agility with approximately $465 million in gross capital, a reduction from the initial $620 million estimate. This funding comes from a $164 million trust account, a $201 million private investment led by Foxconn, and $100 million in prior equity funding. The capital will support commercial expansion, customer deployments, and manufacturing capacity for the company's Digit humanoid robots.

Agility is already operating in 9 customer environments, with key partnerships including GXO Logistics and AGCO. The company has announced plans to expand deployments to additional facilities in North Carolina and Tennessee in early 2027, using the Digit 4 model. It also claims over $300 million in committed multi-year orders for the next-generation Digit 5, which is targeted for general availability by the end of 2027.
