Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Trust Agreement Amendment
On July 17, 2026, Velos Acquisition I Corp., formerly M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), held an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”).
At the Meeting, the holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), outstanding and entitled to vote and the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), approved a proposal, by way of an ordinary resolution, to enter into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated July 31, 2024 between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Trustee, and the Company (the “Trust Agreement,” and such amendment to the Trust Agreement the, “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to allow the Company, following the effectiveness of the amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to withdraw up to an aggregate amount of interest earned on the funds held in the Company’s trust account established in connection with its initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) in an amount equal to $0.10 for each outstanding Class A Ordinary Share held by holders (“Public Shareholders”) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares that were sold in the Company’s initial public offering (such shares, the “Public Shares”) and that is not redeemed and remains outstanding immediately following the effective date of the Trust Interest Withdrawal Amendment, of which (a) $1,000,000 will be used to pay certain ordinary course expenses of the Company and (b) any amounts in excess of such $1,000,000 will be used to pay accrued liabilities as of the effective date of the amendment, to the extent such interest is accrued prior to the date of the amendment (the “Trust Interest Withdrawal Amendment”). The distribution of such interest by the Trustee shall occur as and when directed by the Company.
Approval of the Trust Agreement Amendment was contingent upon shareholder approval of the Trust Interest Withdrawal Amendment. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved proposals for both of the Trust Agreement Amendment and the Trust Interest Withdrawal Amendment and each became immediately effective following such approvals under the law of the Cayman Islands. See Item 5.07 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders – Proposal 2 – The Trust Interest Withdrawal Proposal, in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The description of the Trust Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Trust Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Issuance of Promissory Note
On July 21, 2026, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to MI7 Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company’s sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may lend to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. On July 21, 2026, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 under the Note. The proceeds of the Note will be used to pay off existing liabilities as of July 20, 2026, and for general working capital.
The Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). A failure to pay the principal on the Maturity Date shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Note may be accelerated. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Note will be repaid solely to the extent the Company has funds available outside the Trust Account.
The description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 4(b) and 4(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Payee.
6. Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.
7. Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.
8. Notices. All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Note shall be: (i) in writing and delivered personally or sent by first class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated in writing, (ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be designated in writing by such party or (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such party or such other electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other communication so transmitted shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.

9. Construction. THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.
10. Severability. Any provision contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11. Trust Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Payee hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any monies in, or any distribution of or from, the Trust Account, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Payee hereby agrees not to make any Claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such Claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Note, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such Claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent Payee commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Maker (including this Note), which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Maker, Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such Claim shall not permit Maker (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.
12. Tax Treatment. In each case for U.S. federal income tax and all other applicable tax purposes, Maker and Payee agree to treat this Note, to the extent permissible under applicable law, in part as an equity interest in Maker (and not as indebtedness), and shall take no contrary position on any tax return or before any taxing authority unless otherwise required by law). Maker and Payee shall reasonably cooperate to structure any contribution, forfeiture or elimination of this Note pursuant to Section 1 in a manner that is tax-efficient for Maker and Payee, taking into account the terms of any Business Combination.
13. Amendment; Waiver. Any amendment hereto or waiver of any provision hereof may be made with, and only with, the written consent of Maker and Payee.
14. Assignment. No assignment or transfer of this Note or any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void.
