In XRP news today, Evernorth is changing the number of shares issuable to investors in connection with its proposed business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II.
The amended subscription agreements tie the share count to XRP’s value at closing, measured by its volume-weighted average price, rather than the $2.36 XRP price used when the business combination agreement was signed.
The company said the amendment is intended to align its capitalization with the market value of its underlying XRP holdings at closing.
Evernorth, which is seeking to become a publicly traded digital asset treasury through the transaction, said the revised terms were filed in an amended Form S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
XRP News: Fewer Shares Could Mean a Larger Treasury Interest Per Share
Why is Evernorth reworking its Nasdaq deal before it even lists? 🤔
Timing matters here this is happening ahead of the Armada II merger close, not after.
The shift: XRP-per-share now floats with price at closing instead of a fixed $2.36 anchor, meaning share count adjusts to…

Investors subscribed through a series of private placements at $10.00 per share, with most funding in advance and others on a delayed basis, according to Evernorth. Under the revised structure, the number of shares issuable at closing will be adjusted based on XRP’s value at that time.
Evernorth said the restructuring is expected to reduce the number of shares issued at closing based on XRP’s current trading price. With the company’s net asset value spread across fewer shares, each share would represent a larger portion of Evernorth’s XRP treasury. The company said the adjustment mechanism operates in both directions depending on XRP’s value at closing.
The change is designed to address the difference between XRP’s value at signing and its value at closing, prior to the planned public listing.
Evernorth said this approach is intended to give public investors exposure on terms better aligned with the net asset value of each share, rather than on a valuation based on historical XRP prices.
Advance Funders Back Revised Terms
In other XRP news, investors representing more than 95% of committed capital, including all of Evernorth’s advance funders, have agreed to the revised terms, the company said. The Armada II sponsor has also agreed to adjust its founder shares on the same proportional basis as the advance funding investors.
Evernorth said the sponsor adjustment is intended to share the impact of the restructuring broadly across stakeholders. Management and Evernorth’s founding investors believe the amendment will produce a capitalization structure that more accurately reflects the value of the company’s XRP holdings at closing.
Asheesh Birla, Evernorth’s founder and chief executive, said the revised approach is intended to preserve alignment among investors while supporting the company’s strategy of building institutional access to the XRP ecosystem. He also pointed to the advance funding group’s support for the amended terms.

What Happens Next for XRP
Evernorth’s investors include Arrington Capital, SBI Group, Ripple, Pantera Capital, Kraken and GSR, among others. The business combination is expected to close in late Q3 or early Q4 2026, subject to SEC review and customary closing conditions.
The registration statement is not yet effective. Evernorth and Armada II said shareholders will receive a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents when available in connection with a vote on the proposed business combination.
Evernorth said its holdings and strategy remain unchanged. The company plans to focus on growing XRP per share through capital allocation, participation in the XRP ecosystem, and treasury operations as it pursues its planned public-market debut.
