On June 18, 2025, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The record date for the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting was June 3, 2025. At the close of business on that date, the Company had 3,442,121 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting. Of the 3,442,121 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting, 2,801,036 shares (or 81.38%), constituting a quorum, were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, two proposals were submitted to the Company’s stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Proposal 3 was not voted on at the Special Meeting. The final voting results were as follows:
Proposal 1
The Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as previously amended on September 21, 2023 and June 18, 2024), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to 12 times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from June 21, 2025 to June 21, 2026, based upon the voting results set forth below.

Item 8.01 Other Events

In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Special Meeting 1,152,875 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption. As a result, approximately $13,728,996 (approximately $11.9 per share) will be removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company, such as franchise taxes, but not including any excise tax, since that date. Following redemptions, the Company will have 442,996 shares of public common stock outstanding, and approximately $5,275,412 will remain in the Trust Account.
