Ether Machine and Dynamix Corporation have called off their merger agreement, which was planned to be completed on the Nasdaq. As a result, a $50 million fee will be paid, and the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) will now look for a different company to merge with by 2026.
The Ether Machine’s planned Nasdaq debut is officially off the table.
Dynamix Corporation and The Ether Machine have called off their planned merger.
The agreement fell through because of poor market conditions. Both companies stated the deal ended on April 8, 2026. As a result of the cancellation, a $50 million payment is now uncertain.
Ether Machine and Dynamix End SPAC Business Combination
The two companies had originally signed their Business Combination Agreement on July 21, 2025.
The agreement included several companies, such as The Ether Reserve LLC, ETH Partners LLC, and a number of newly formed subsidiaries.
A regulatory filing shows that when the main deal fell through, all associated agreements, like those for subscriptions and contributions, were also canceled.
The termination was mutual. Neither side placed public blame on the other.
In reviewing the documents, I found that the agreement includes a full release of claims – meaning both parties are letting go of any issues they *know* about, as well as any they haven’t even thought of yet, related to the business combination.
As part of the agreement to end their relationship, both sides have promised not to publicly criticize each other or file lawsuits. This was done to reduce the risk of future legal battles.
This document shows that Dynamix, its financial backer, and related companies are protected from potential lawsuits filed by some investors in ETHM.
Pubco, its affiliates, and anyone connected to the company are shielded from lawsuits brought by Dynamix shareholders.
The Ether Machine, which plans to become a publicly traded company through a merger with Dynamix Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHM) and The Ether Reserve LLC, announced today that all parties have agreed to end their previous agreement.

$50 Million Termination Fee Due Within 15 Days
The most notable financial detail in the SEC filing is the $50 million payment.
Someone funding the Ether Machine project—referred to only as “Payor”—is obligated to pay Dynamix $50 million within 15 days of April 8, 2026.
The payment is due approximately April 23, 2026. The filing does not reveal who is making the payment.
The agreement only identifies the involved party by name in a separate attachment, and doesn’t include that information in the main, public version.
Despite this, the obligation is clear and binding under the signed termination terms.
This fee is a major cost resulting from the merger falling through. It also suggests the deal was once considered very valuable before changes in the market occurred.

Dynamix Remains a SPAC With a November 2026 Deadline
With the deal dead, Dynamix returns to its status as a blank-check company.
The organization’s updated rules now give it until November 22, 2026, to finalize its first merger or acquisition.
This gives Dynamix around seven months to find and finalize a new deal. If they can’t do so within that timeframe, they’ll be forced to shut down.
The company would then redeem public shares using funds held in its trust account.
Shareholders will receive cash based on their ownership percentage in the trust, after taxes and any minimal costs to close it down are paid.
The individuals behind the SPAC have agreed to forgo any profits from their initial shares if the company doesn’t complete a merger within the specified timeframe.
Despite transferring assets into the trust, they still own anything held outside of it. This could include some of the $50 million payment they receive after covering expenses.
