- Iris Acquisition Corp Iris Acquisition Corp (IRAA) is a Cayman Islands-based blank check company, or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses; the company conducts no significant operations and generates no revenues prior to completing an initial business combination. Iris Acquisition Corp offers no products or services beyond its SPAC structure, which facilitates public listings for target companies through merger transactions; it targets businesses across various industries without predefined sector limitations. Incorporated in 2020 and headquartered in George Town, Cayman Islands, the company operates as a subsidiary of Iris Acquisition Holdings LLC and was formerly known as Tribe Capital Growth Corp I, changing its name in July 2022. In recent developments, Iris Acquisition Corp entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Liminatus Pharma LLC, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing immune-modulating cancer therapies, initially announced on November 30, 2022; the transaction, which includes commitments for up to $15 million in PIPE financing and involves multiple amendments to extend deadlines—including to June 30, 2025—remains pending stockholder approval and customary closing conditions as of early 2025, with the combined entity expected to operate as Liminatus Pharma, Inc. and list on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The company has navigated regulatory extensions for Nasdaq listing compliance, undergone management changes including the appointment of Iris Equity Holdings LLC as managing member following a loan from Hannah Immunotherapeutics LLC, and terminated certain financing arrangements such as a convertible note subscription while amending equity commitments to support the proposed merger.
