Not all can access this article that you have posted. Would you care to share the gist of it? Thank you.

"France’s national health and safety regulator, ANSES, has removed all but two copper-based fungicides from the market. As of the beginning of this year, organic wine producers are no longer able to purchase those products and will be forced to find alternative measures to control downy mildew.

Following regulatory approval earlier this month, Eden’s Mevalone stands as one of the only available organic treatments for downy mildew."

Corteva Agriscience France SAS have a partnership with Eden and can distribute Mevalone (known as Esseva) in France and this can now also be used to treat downy mildew.  See RNS dated 7th January 2026.

"New biofungicide approved in France

"Copper, which is toxic to the soil microbiome, is nonetheless the most widely used, effective and least costly treatment for downy mildew – and is one of the only treatments approved for organic viticulture.

As discussed in this newscast in September of last year, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety declined to renew marketing authorisation for 20 out of 22 copper-containing fungicides that applied in 2025. As of the beginning of this year, wine producers are no longer able to purchase those 20 products.

With diminishing options available for organic treatment of downy mildew, it was welcome news that Mevalone, a biofungicide containing the active compounds thymol (from thyme), geraniol (from Damask rose), and eugenol (from clove oil) which was previously approved for treatment of botrytis bunch rot, was approved on 8 January as a treatment for downy mildew. It is the only biofungicide I have heard of for treatment of downy. "

Yep. I made two posts Punter and I saw the SEC filing on Friday with amendments S-4/A

AI:

Based on the SEC filing on January 16, 2026, Pelican Acquisition Corporation (PELI) filed an amendment (S-4/A) to its registration statement regarding its business combination with Greenland Exploration Limited and March GL Company. 

Key details and updates in recent filings (leading up to and including mid-January 2026) indicate the following:

Final Stage Preparation: The amendment reflects that the deal is in the final stages, aiming for SEC effectiveness to proceed with a shareholder vote and closing in late January 2026.

Structure Confirmation: The merger involves Pelican (a Cayman Islands SPAC) domesticating to Texas, with the combined entity to be named Greenland Energy Company, and listing on Nasdaq under the symbol "GLND".

Unit Separation & Listing: The filing notes that units (consisting of one ordinary share and one right) will automatically separate into component securities upon closing, with plans to list Class A Common Stock and warrants under "GLND" and "GLNDW".

Transaction Terms: Existing Greenland Exploration shareholders are set to receive 1.5 million shares, while March GL shareholders receive 20 million shares of the new company.

No Minimum Cash Condition: The proposed transaction does not include a minimum cash condition from Pelican’s trust account. 

The January 16, 2026, filing specifically included updated, finalized documentation (sometimes including new exhibits, or updated proxy/prospectus language) to address SEC comments and finalize the terms for the merger.   

"Pelican Holdco, Inc. files an amended Form S-4 to register up to 35,172,375 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 warrants tied to its proposed business combination with Pelican Acquisition Corporation, Greenland Exploration Limited, and March GL Company.

The SPAC will convert from a Cayman company into a Texas corporation, then complete a series of mergers so that Pelican Holdco (to be renamed Greenland Energy Company) becomes the Nasdaq-listed parent, while most operations sit in March GL. March GL shareholders will receive 20,000,000 PubCo shares and Greenland shareholders 1,500,000 PubCo shares, equal to total merger consideration of $215,000,000 at $10.00 per share. Pro forma, March GL and Greenland owners would hold the majority of PubCo, while SPAC public holders’ stake varies sharply with redemptions. SPAC shareholders are offered cash redemption rights, subject to a 15% cap per group, and the deal depends on shareholder approvals and Nasdaq listing. The filing highlights potential conflicts of interest for the sponsor, details possible but uncommitted PIPE financing, and notes a fairness opinion from ERShares supporting the merger terms"

Now to await the SEC to declare the registration statement effective if happy with amended S-4.

Yes. About time you actually looked at SEC Filings and updates (the last was there on Friday) instead of putting out reams of AI.

"80 Mile's chief executive Roderick McIllree has been explicit in distancing the project from US state involvement, stressing that the participation of American firms reflects technical capability rather than political backing and that all regulatory engagement remains strictly between the licence holders and Naalakkersuisut"

The article ends with this:

"Jameson Land's sole advantage lies in its onshore nature, which makes it cheaper and potentially safer than offshore Arctic projects. Climate change is extending drilling seasons and easing logistics, though that same reality sharpens political and environmental scrutiny. What turns the project from a niche greenfield project into a geopolitical signal is the timing: US-based companies moved in just as Washington renewed its interest in Greenland's strategic value. Whether that alignment proves incidental or consequential, 2026 will test not only the basin's geology and economics, but also how far Greenland's oil ambitions can advance in an era of climate politics and rising Arctic competition - when the story finally moves from paper to drilling."

If not seen

"Independent analysis by Sproule ERCE estimates that the Jameson Land Basin holds more than 10 billion barrels of oil resource potential.

When including deeper horizons & unconventional sources, the report identifies a  significant upside of 25-40 billion barrels."

The timing depends on when he recorded this.

"Yeah, Julie, this company called March GL right now, when it goes public via a Spack merger, uh probably end of this month, early next month, it'll be called Greenland Energy company..........."

Mr Smith 9th January:

"This opportunity was identified in December 2021, validated in early 2022, proven in the field over two successive seasons of trials with a regulatory submission made in early 2023! A great example of market awareness, a responsive team, fast-moving, focussed development, strong partnerships and progress, but also an illustration of what it takes to 'simply' expand the use of a known product to include major new targets. This is a major win for Eden, our partners, French growers and wine lovers everywhere!"

"In case you missed it, we announced on Wednesday a significant label extension for Mevalone in France (marketed locally as Esseva). This extension will allow local viticulturalists and winemakers to apply the product to control downy and powdery mildew.

The company currently estimates that the potential peak revenue for this opportunity (with its current label extension conditions on the timing of applications) to be in the region of up to €8 million per annum. This is primarily driven by climate‑driven increases in mildew pressure, regulatory pressure on copper and synthetic chemistry, and growth in organic viticulture."
