Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations.
The information set forth in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 12, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of IB Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) set Wednesday, December 16, 2026, as the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, virtually via live webcast . The Board also fixed the close of business on October 28, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The matters to be voted on and instructions for attending the Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Annual Meeting will be the Company’s first annual meeting of stockholders since its initial public offering. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2026, on October 5, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because it had not held an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of its fiscal year. The Company believes that holding the Annual Meeting on December 16, 2026 will enable it to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).
Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders during the prior year, the Company is providing notice of the following deadlines in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Rule 14a-8 Proposals. Under Rule 14a-8(e)(2) under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”), because the Company did not hold an annual meeting during the prior year, a stockholder proposal submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the Annual Meeting must be received a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials. The Company has determined that, to be considered timely, Rule 14a-8 proposals must be received by the Company no later than the close of business on October 26, 2026, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal must also comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8, including those relating to eligibility and subject matter. Any proposal received after that date will be considered untimely and may be excluded from the Company’s proxy materials.
All proposals, nominations and notices described above must be delivered in writing to the Company’s principal executive offices at IB Acquisition Corp., 1200 N Federal Highway, Suite 215, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, and must comply with all applicable SEC rules and regulations and, as applicable, the Bylaws. To avoid controversy, stockholders should submit them by means, including electronic means, that permit them to prove the date of delivery. Any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, or any public announcement thereof, will not commence a new time period for, or extend, any of the deadlines described above.
On October 15, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the date of the Annual Meeting, the Record Date and the deadlines described above. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the timing of the Annual Meeting, the Company’s proxy solicitation timeline, and the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
