Merlin Labs, Inflection Point Acquisition Announce $125M Increase In Their Private Investment In Public Equity, Bringing Total To Over $200M

Merlin Labs, Inc. ("Merlin"), a leading developer of assured, autonomous flight technology for defense customers, and Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. IV (Nasdaq: BACQ) ("Inflection Point") today announced a significant increase to their previously disclosed private investment in public equity ("PIPE"). The increase comes from both new investors and existing investors increasing their commitments, bringing total PIPE commitments to more than $200 million, of which over $85 million has already been funded.

This represents a substantial increase from the more than $125 million in committed capital announced at the signing of the Business Combination Agreement on August 13, 2025, and will further strengthen Merlin's balance sheet ahead of and upon closing the proposed transaction, which is expected to occur in early 2026.
