- TKB Critical Technologies 1 (USCTW) operates as a blank check company, or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), whose primary business is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses in critical technology sectors; it targets advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, automation, data security, energy storage and power management, financial technology, industrial software, Internet of Things, microelectronics, robotics, and wireless communications equipment. The company generates no operational revenue or products, maintaining cash reserves from its initial public offering for deployment in a de-SPAC transaction. Incorporated in 2021 and headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida, with prior references to El Segundo, California, it functions as a subsidiary of TKB Sponsor I, LLC, and trades warrants on Nasdaq under USCTW while its ordinary shares have delisted to OTC Markets. In September 2023, TKB Critical Technologies 1 underwent a significant reorganization, changing its name to Roth CH Acquisition Co. while retaining the USCTW ticker for warrants; this coincided with the resignation of original management including Philippe Tartavull, Greg Klein, and Angela Blatteis, replaced by Roth Capital Partners affiliates such as Byron Clarence Roth as Co-CEO and Co-Chairman. Earlier, in June 2023, it terminated a proposed merger with Wejo Group Limited after significant shareholder redemptions and sold sponsor holdings to Roth Capital Partners and Craig-Hallum Capital Group for $1, marking a strategic pivot away from the initial smart mobility target. Most recently, in January 2025, Roth CH Acquisition Co. entered a business combination agreement with SharonAI Inc., a high-performance computing and artificial intelligence technology provider, involving mergers, re-domiciliation from Cayman Islands to Delaware, and issuance of approximately 560.8 million shares valued at $16.8 million; the deal awaits shareholder and regulatory approvals.
