Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 17, 2026, in connection with the approval by its shareholders of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal (as defined below) at the Meeting (as defined below), Translational Development Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2024 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

The Trust Agreement Amendment permits the Company to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from June 24, 2026 (the “Deadline Date”) up to twelve (12) times, each by an additional one-month period, to June 24, 2027, by providing five days’ advance notice to the Trustee prior to the applicable Deadline Date and depositing into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), for each one-month extension, the lesser of $200,000 and $0.03 per outstanding public share two (2) days prior to such extension.

 

The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Trust Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On June 17, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”).

 

The Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as adopted by special resolution passed on December 20, 2024 (the “Existing Charter”), provided that the Company had until June 24, 2026 to consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination,” and such period, the “Combination Period”).

 

At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved, as a special resolution, an amendment to the Existing Charter in the form set forth in Annex A to the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated May 27, 2026 (the “Extension Amendment”). The Extension Amendment extends the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination up to twelve (12) times from June 24, 2026 to June 24, 2027, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of twelve (12) months after the Deadline Date, assuming a Business Combination has not occurred.

 

The Company filed the Extension Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands on June 17, 2026. The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

At the Meeting, holders of an aggregate of 17,430,905 ordinary shares of the Company, representing approximately 79.56% of the 21,907,500 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of May 19, 2026, the record date for the Meeting, were present in person, virtually or by proxy, constituting a quorum.

 

At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders were presented with the following proposals:

 

1. Extension Amendment Proposal. A proposal, by special resolution, to amend the Existing Charter by adopting the Extension Amendment to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination up to twelve (12) times from June 24, 2026 to June 24, 2027, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of twelve (12) months after June 24, 2026, assuming a Business Combination has not occurred (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

 

The Extension Amendment Proposal was approved with the following vote:

 

For   Against   Abstentions   Broker Non-Votes
16,621,609   809,296   0   0

 

 

 

 

2. Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal. A proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to allow the Company to extend the Deadline Date up to twelve (12) times for an additional one-month period each time up to June 24, 2027 by providing five days’ advance notice to the Trustee prior to the applicable Deadline Date and depositing into the Trust Account, for each one-month extension, the lesser of $200,000 and $0.03 per outstanding public share two (2) days prior to such extension (the “Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal”).

 

The Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal was approved with the following vote:

 

For   Against   Abstentions   Broker Non-Votes
16,621,609   809,296   0   0

 

3. Adjournment Proposal. A proposal, by ordinary resolution, to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, either (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, there were not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal or to provide additional time to effectuate the Extension, the Trust Agreement Amendment and the Extension Amendment, or (ii) if the Company’s board of directors determined before the Meeting that it was not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the other proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

 

The Adjournment Proposal was approved with the following vote:

 

For   Against   Abstentions   Broker Non-Votes
16,621,609   809,296   0   0

 

Although the Adjournment Proposal was approved, no adjournment of the Meeting was effected in connection with the foregoing proposals.

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of 2,598,697 Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.70 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $27,817,433.95 (the “Meeting Redemptions”). Following the Meeting Redemptions, 14,651,303 Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering remain outstanding.

RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that:

 

(i) Article 49.7 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company as adopted by special resolution passed on December 20, 2024 (the “Existing Memorandum and Articles”) be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by the Deadline Date (or twelve (12) months after the Deadline Date (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having been made in each case) or such later time as the Members of the Company may approve in accordance with these Articles, the Company shall:

  (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and
     
  (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve,

 

subject in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of Applicable Law. If the Company shall wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, follow the foregoing procedures set out in this Article with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account, subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of Applicable Law.

 

(ii) Article 49.8 of the Existing Memorandum and Articles be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

 

  49.8 In the event that any amendment is made to these Articles:

(iii) Article 49.10 of the Existing Memorandum and Articles be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

 

  49.10 After the issue of Public Shares (including pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option), and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the directors shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:
