The transaction is set to generate over $620 million in proceeds, bolstered by a $200 million infusion from a mix of new and existing institutional backers. Agility’s flagship robot, Digit, currently operates across nine customer sites, including installations for Mercado Libre, GXO, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada.

Agility Robotics Targets $2.5 Billion Valuation in SPAC Merger
A decade after emerging from Oregon State University, humanoid developer Agility Robotics is moving toward a public listing through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI. The deal positions the company at a $2.5 billion valuation, aiming to inject significant capital into the mass production of its bipedal hardware.
CEO Peggy Johnson described the rollout as a pivotal step for labor-strapped enterprises looking to integrate AI-powered automation. The firm reports a backlog exceeding $300 million in multi-year orders, alongside a pipeline of 30 additional clients weighing large-scale deployments. Once the deal closes, the combined entity will trade under the ticker AGLT on a North American exchange.
