- Denali Capital Acquisition Corp. (DECAU) operates as a blank check company, or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), whose primary business is to effect mergers, share exchanges, asset acquisitions, share purchases, reorganizations, or similar business combinations with one or more businesses, with a focus on high-growth targets in the technology, consumer services, and hospitality sectors; it issues units comprising Class A ordinary shares and redeemable warrants, which commenced separate trading in 2022. Incorporated in 2022 and headquartered at 437 Madison Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, New York, the company maintains no significant independent operations prior to completing an initial business combination and targets institutional and accredited investors through its public offerings. Geographically, it conducts activities primarily from the United States, with its securities listed on Nasdaq and subsequently OTC markets under symbols DECAU for units, DECA or DNQAF for Class A ordinary shares, and DECAW or DNQWF for warrants. In a major development, Denali completed a reverse merger with Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX) focused on non-opioid pain therapies, on September 22, 2025, following an original merger agreement signed August 30, 2024, valued at a $2.5 billion pre-transaction equity value for Semnur, with subsequent amendments on April 16, 2025, and July 22, 2025, including extensions of its business combination deadline through January 2025 via trust deposits funded by convertible notes from Scilex; post-merger, Semnur trades as SMNR on OTC markets, domesticating Denali to Delaware and renaming it Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc., while filing an S-4 registration for new shares, preferred stock, and warrants.
