Insights

Amendment adjusts equity incentives, listing terms and timing for closing.

The Second Amendment increases the post-Closing incentive pool from 8% to 12% of Pubco common stock issued and outstanding immediately after Closing; this changes the future equity allocation that will be available to management and service providers.

Key dependencies include shareholder approval of the Business Combination, satisfaction of closing conditions, and any exchange listing requirements; timing was extended via the Outside Date amendment.

Business Combination Agreement regulatory
"entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment)"
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.
Outside Date regulatory
"extend the Outside Date (as defined in the BCA)"
An outside date is the final contractual deadline by which a planned deal—such as a merger, acquisition, or financing—must be completed; if the transaction hasn’t closed by that date, parties typically gain the right to walk away or trigger agreed remedies. It matters to investors because it sets a clear timetable for when uncertainty should end, and approaching or missing the outside date can raise the chance of deal failure, renegotiation, or changes to valuation.
post-Closing incentive plan financial
"increase the post-Closing incentive plan from eight percent (8%) to twelve percent (12%)"
Registration Statement on Form S-4 regulatory
"filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4"
A registration statement on Form S-4 is a formal filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission used when a company issues shares or other securities as part of a merger, acquisition, exchange offer or similar corporate deal. It bundles the transaction terms, financial statements, risk factors and shareholder vote materials so investors can assess the deal; think of it as a detailed prospectus or buyer’s packet that explains what you would own and how the deal could change your stake.

Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 19, 2025, Blue Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Island exempted company (“Blue”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2026, the “BCA”) with Blockfusion Data Centers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), Atlas I Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC Merger Sub”), Atlas Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company Merger Sub”), and Blockfusion USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Blockfusion” or the “Company”), pursuant to which, as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), Blue and Blockfusion will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company. The transactions contemplated by the BCA are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Business Combination.”

 

On May 6, 2026, Blue, Blockfusion, and Pubco entered into the Second Amendment to the BCA (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the BCA to: (i) increase the post-Closing incentive plan from eight percent (8%) of the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock (as defined in the BCA) issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing to twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, (ii) amend the listing exchange requirements for the Pubco Class A Common Stock (as defined herein) upon the Closing, and (iii) extend the Outside Date (as defined in the BCA).

 

Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Second Amendment, the BCA remains in full force and effect as originally executed. The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Pubco, as registrant, and Blue, as co-registrant, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), which includes a preliminary proxy statement of Blue and a prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in connection with the extraordinary meeting of Blue’s shareholders to approve the Transactions. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to shareholders of Blue as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and other matters as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Blue, Blockfusion and/or Pubco will also file other documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all of the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, SHAREHOLDERS OF BLUE AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH BLUE’S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD TO APPROVE THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OTHER MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BLUE, BLOCKFUSION, PUBCO AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION.
