The Salem, Oregon maker of the Digit humanoid agreed to merge with the blank-check company Churchill Capital Corp XI (CCXI) at a $2.5 billion pre-money equity value, with more than $620 million of expected gross proceeds, and plans to list as AGLT.

Digit 5 lifts up to 50 lb, reaches 7.2 feet and charges in 9 minutes for a 90-minute run, and adds a safety architecture meant to let it work near people without cages; Agility cites more than $300 million of multi-year orders.

Merline Saintil, Derek Aberle and Pierre Gentin are expected to join the board once the Churchill Capital XI merger closes, alongside CEO Peggy Johnson and co-founder Damion Shelton.
