Arizona Tribune - Tigerless Health Enters into Business Combination Agreement with Piermont Valley Acquisition Corp. to Become Publicly Listed

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / Tigerless Health, Inc. ("Tigerless Health" or the "Company") and Piermont Valley Acquisition Corp. (OTCID:CMCAF) ("PVAC"), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement that will result in Tigerless Health becoming a publicly traded company, expected to be listed on NASDAQ. The transaction values the Company at an enterprise value of approximately $280 million.

Company Overview

Tigerless Health, Inc., founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York City, is an Insurtech company focused on transforming the way people access, understand, and experience insurance. Through a modern, data-driven platform, Tigerless Health makes it simpler for consumers to find and manage the coverage that fits their needs.

The U.S. insurance market is one of the largest and most consequential consumer markets in the world - yet for most consumers, the experience of navigating it remains fundamentally broken. Plans are difficult to compare, benefits are hard to understand, and the process of getting the right coverage too often depends on who you know or how much time you have. Tigerless Health is seeking to change this.

At the heart of the Company's vision is a conviction that artificial intelligence will be the force that finally closes the gap between consumers and the coverage they need. Tigerless Health is developing proprietary AI capabilities in-house - technology designed not just to make insurance easier to purchase, but to fundamentally reshape how people think about, engage with, and make decisions around insurance throughout their lives. The Company sees a future where every consumer, regardless of background or experience, has access to the kind of clarity and guidance that was once available to only a few.

The Company believes that, upon completion of the proposed transaction, it will be better positioned to accelerate this vision and help define what the next generation of insurance looks like.

Transaction Overview

The transaction values Tigerless Health at an enterprise value of approximately $280 million. Existing Tigerless Health shareholders will roll 100% of their equity into the combined company upon closing of the transaction.

The transaction is expected to support the Company's continued investment in its technology platform, including the development of its proprietary artificial intelligence capabilities designed to improve how users understand and navigate insurance.

The Boards of Directors of both Tigerless Health and PVAC have unanimously approved the proposed transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to, among other things, required regulatory approvals, approval by the stockholders of both companies, and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

The Company's management team, led by founder and CEO Zikang Wu, will continue to lead the combined company following the close of the transaction.

For additional information on the proposed transaction, see PVAC's Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed promptly and can be obtained, without charge, at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.

For purposes of this transaction, PVAC is represented by Edelman Legal Consulting PLLC and Tigerless Health is represented by Graubard Miller.
