- The SEC declared the S-4 effective, while Armada shareholders are scheduled to vote on September 30.
- The proposed merger targets a late-Q3 or early-Q4 close, with XRPN planned as the Nasdaq ticker.
- The XRP treasury strategy seeks growth in XRP per share through active capital management.
Evernorth announced on August 27 that its Form S-4 registration statement became effective. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission decision advances its planned Nasdaq listing. The XRP treasury company intends to merge with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company.
Armada shareholders will vote on September 30, 2026. The accompanying market report placed XRP near $1.46, up 4% over 24 hours.
Evernorth Merger Heads Toward September Shareholder Vote
The companies expect closing in late Q3 or early Q4 of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and other conditions. The combined business expects to trade under XRPN, provided it satisfies Nasdaq listing requirements. The meeting covers shareholders of record as of August 20, 2026.
Evernorth publicly filed its S-4 on March 18, 2026. The registration covers up to 34,499,992 Class A common shares and 11,499,992 warrants issuable through the transaction. Those securities relate to the merger, not a direct offering of XRP tokens.
Effectiveness advances the transaction, but does not confirm merger completion or trading by the combined company. It also does not represent SEC endorsement of the company, its securities or its proposed XRP treasury strategy.
Evernorth XRP Treasury Targets Growth Beyond Token Holdings
Evernorth aims to grow XRP per share through treasury management, infrastructure investment and participation in the XRP economy. Proposed strategies include lending, liquidity provision and generating yield through blockchain applications.
Investors backing Evernorth include Ripple, SBI Group, Arrington Capital, Pantera Capital, Kraken and GSR. In March, the company said it had raised more than $1 billion in gross proceeds.
November 2025 disclosures placed purchased and committed holdings above 473 million XRP. The total combined token commitments with purchases were funded through a private placement.
That earlier fundraising disclosure should not be read as a fresh cash commitment triggered by registration effectiveness. Shareholder redemptions can also reduce cash available from the SPAC at closing.
CEO Asheesh Birla says Evernorth seeks to expand the role of XRP in institutional finance. Investors would gain exposure through company shares, rather than direct ownership of its tokens. Share prices can also reflect operating costs and dilution from new equity issuance.
