Gross cash proceeds from the agreement are estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion, comprising $855 million from the private investment in public equity (PIPE) and approximately $345 million of cash held in trust by RMG II, before any adjustments due to potential redemptions by RMG II shareholders.
