Agility Robotics 預計在 SPAC 交易完成前籌集約 $465M

Agility Robotics, a humanoid robotics company, and Churchill Capital Corp XI, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, said in a joint announcement on October 30, 2026, that Agility’s gross capital raise in connection with their proposed business combination and related financings is expected to be approximately $465 million before transaction expenses. The companies said the expected figure follows the expiration of Churchill XI’s redemption deadline.

Composition of the Expected $465 Million Raise

The announcement divides the expected gross capital raise into three components. Approximately $164 million is expected to come from Churchill XI’s trust account, and approximately $201 million from a common stock PIPE committed at $10 per share, led by Foxconn with participation from existing and new institutional investors. A further $100 million is equity funding Agility has already received following the announcement of the business combination.

The companies said Agility is expected to enter the public markets well capitalized to execute its planned investments in commercial expansion and to support growing customer demand.

The announcement named NVIDIA, Amazon, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Schaeffler, Foxconn, Abico, DCVC, and Playground Global among Agility’s strategic investors and partners across the AI, technology, venture capital, and industrial ecosystem.

Shareholder Vote, Closing, and Nasdaq Listing

The business combination and the related PIPE financing are expected to close on November 4, 2026, subject to approval by Churchill XI shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for November 2, 2026, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The proposed transaction will be submitted to Churchill XI shareholders for their consideration.

Following closing, the combined company will operate as Agility Robotics, and its common stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on November 5, 2026. The companies said the transaction is expected to create the only U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company with proven, active commercial deployments.

All existing Agility shareholders will roll their equity into the combined company and will be subject to a 180-day lock-up at closing, which the companies said demonstrates strong alignment with public shareholders.

Shareholders who previously submitted redemption requests may withdraw them at any time before the scheduled vote by submitting a written reversal request to Churchill XI’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The request must include the legal name, phone number, and address of the beneficial owner of the shares and the number or percentage of shares for which reversal is requested. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name must instruct an account executive at their bank or broker to request the reversal at the transfer agent.

Churchill XI and Agility Robotics jointly filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which the SEC declared effective on October 13, 2026. The registration statement includes a definitive proxy statement and prospectus, which was distributed to Agility stockholders and Churchill XI shareholders as of September 14, 2026, the record date established for voting on the proposed transaction.

Commercial Momentum and Digit 5 Timeline

The announcement also recapped commercial updates Agility released on October 26, 2026: an expansion of its relationship with GXO to deploy Digit at two additional facilities, a commercial agreement with AGCO for a manufacturing pilot expected to begin in 2027, and three additional manufacturing customers participating in paid programs. Agility described an active pipeline of more than 30 prospective customers across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, defense, logistics, and consumer products, which it characterized as reflecting demand for humanoid robots that automate repetitive, physically demanding work that can be difficult to address with traditional robotics.

Digit 5, unveiled on September 15, 2026, is designed to work safely alongside people and to support a broader range of industrial workflows, according to the company. Agility said it is on track to begin Digit 5 deliveries to early-access customers in the first half of 2027, with general availability targeted for the end of 2027.

Agility has previously disclosed more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5. The announcement states that the figure represents potential multi-year value expected to be realized over time, subject to satisfaction of contractual milestones, product features, and specifications, and that it does not represent current-period revenue.
