Churchill XI Shareholders Vote on Agility Merger
Shares of the blank-check company rose 16.2% Monday as holders weigh a deal with the humanoid robot maker Agility Robotics.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Robotics
Churchill Capital Corp XI shareholders meet Monday to vote on merging with Agility Robotics, maker of the humanoid robot Digit. The companies expect to raise $465 million in connection with the deal.
Why it matters
The merger would take a humanoid robotics company public through a blank-check vehicle, a route that gives investors exposure to the sector. The stock's sharp rebound follows a steep decline, leaving the outcome of the vote as the key near-term question.
Agility Robotics makes the humanoid robot Digit, and the companies expect a $465 million raise tied to the deal. Shareholder approval and the closing of the transaction have not yet occurred, and no performance data for the merged company was provided.
The players
Churchill Capital Corp XI
A blank-check company, also known as a special purpose acquisition company, that raises capital to acquire a private business.
Agility Robotics
A robotics company that builds the Digit humanoid robot designed to perform tasks in warehouses and logistics settings.
The details
Current Agility owners will exchange their stakes for shares of the merged company, and they cannot sell those shares for 180 days. Agility has also taken in $100 million in equity since announcing the merger.
Timeline
Oct. 30: CCXI hit its low point of $8.05.
Monday, Nov. 2: Shareholders vote on the merger and shares rose 16.2%.
Nov. 4: The merger is expected to close if approved.
Nov. 5: The merged company is expected to begin trading as AGLT on Nasdaq.
Roadmap
Public listings through blank-check mergers have become a recurring path for emerging technology companies seeking capital. This Churchill Capital and Agility deal extends that route into humanoid robotics, a field where companies are still scaling commercial deployments.
For investors holding CCXI shares, the vote determines whether the stock converts into shares of the merged company. Stakeholders should note that Agility's existing owners face a 180-day lockup before they can sell their shares.
The takeaway
Investors weighing this deal should track whether CCXI holds above $8.05 and whether the shareholder vote passes. The lockup period means early liquidity for Agility's current owners is limited.
What happens next
If shareholders approve, the merger is expected to close Nov. 4 and the combined company is expected to begin trading as AGLT on Nasdaq on Nov. 5.
