Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously announced, Melar Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), has called and provided a notice of an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on June 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, to consider and vote upon the matters described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2026 (as may be amended, the “Proxy Statement”). Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.
The Company plans to continue to solicit proxies from shareholders during the period prior to the Meeting. Only the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on May 11, 2026, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.
In connection with the solicitation, the Company is providing its shareholders and other interested parties with an update to the terms of the Extension, which is an increase in the Monthly Amount that Melar Acquisition Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), or its designees will contribute to the Trust Account from “the lesser of (x) $40,000 or (y) $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed” to “the lesser of (x) $80,000 or (y) $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed.”
Additional information regarding the foregoing update to the terms of the Extension is set forth below.
Increase in Monthly Amount
The Proxy Statement provides that the Monthly Amount that the Sponsor or its designee will contribute to the Trust Account in connection with the Extension will be equal to the lesser of (x) $40,000 or (y) $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed. It has been agreed that the maximum Monthly Amount will be increased from $40,000 to $80,000 while retaining the $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed. Accordingly, the amount contributed per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension and the length of the Extension period that will be needed to complete an initial business combination. If more than 4,000,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if the Company completes an initial business combination on September 20, 2026, which would represent three calendar months, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of the Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Extension, then the aggregate amount contributed per share will be approximately $0.015 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $240,000. However, if 12,000,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 4,000,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension, then the amount contributed per share for such three-month period will be approximately $0.06 per share.
