On May 6, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, GP-Act III Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “GP-Act III”), convened and then again adjourned its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), which was originally convened on April 29, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time and adjourned to May 6, 2026 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, at which the Company’s shareholders are being asked to vote on, among other things, (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, from May 13, 2026 to November 13, 2026 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 8, 2024, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, to extend the date on which the trustee must liquidate the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from May 13, 2026 to November 13, 2026 (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”).
The only proposal submitted for a vote of the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting was the approval of the adjournment of such meeting in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company and Cayman Islands law (the “Adjournment Proposal”), to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to the Adjournment Proposal, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders:

Forward-Looking Statements
The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the timing and conduct of the Adjourned Meeting, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the consummation of any potential business combination, the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public shareholders and the funds that will remain in the trust account following any redemptions. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the Company to successfully or timely implement the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal or that the approval of the shareholders of the Company is not obtained; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public shareholders; and those factors described or referenced in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors”. If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so except as otherwise required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
