OpenPayd Files Amended F-4 to Advance SPAC Merger With Titan
OpenPayd Global Holdings has submitted Amendment No. 1 to its Form F-4, moving closer to a business combination with Nasdaq-listed Titan Acquisition Corp.
OpenPayd Global Holdings Limited has filed an amendment to its registration statement with U.S. securities regulators, marking a meaningful procedural step in its proposed business combination with Titan Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company trading on Nasdaq under the ticker TACH. The amended filing, designated Amendment No. 1 to Form F-4, was submitted pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and is also deemed filed under Rule 14a-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The dual regulatory citation is standard for SPAC transactions of this kind. Rule 425 governs communications made in connection with business combinations involving registered securities, while Rule 14a-12 pertains to proxy solicitation materials — reflecting the fact that Titan's existing shareholders will ultimately need to vote on the proposed deal. The subject company listed in the filing is Titan Acquisition Corp, which carries Commission File No. 001-42590.

Until effectiveness is granted, no shareholder vote can be scheduled, meaning this amendment keeps the transaction on its regulatory glide path but leaves the timeline for closing still contingent on further SEC review.
