In June 2025, Ribbon Acquisition entered into a definitive business combination agreement with DRC Medicine Ltd., a Tokyo-based healthcare and biotechnology firm developing advanced medical technologies such as Hydro Silver Titanium devices, therapeutic masks for allergic rhinitis and in vitro diagnostic kits; the transaction implies a pre-money equity value of $350 million for DRC on a fully diluted basis and approximately $422.15 million pro forma for the combined entity, with DRC shareholders retaining 100% of their equity and expected to own 82.91% post-combination. The deal, subject to shareholder approval and regulatory clearances, anticipates providing up to $50.42 million in gross proceeds from Ribbon's trust account (assuming no redemptions) to fund DRC's clinical trials, R&D commercialization and operations, with a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed including a proxy statement/prospectus. Ribbon completed its initial public offering in January 2025, raising $50 million through 5 million units priced at $10 each (upsized to $52.2 million), led by CEO and Chairman Angshuman Ghosh and CFO Zhiyang Zhou. The company targets sectors including healthcare without specified geographic limitations beyond its Japanese base.
