Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bluerock Acquisition Corp. agreed to merge with Bitonic Technology Labs Inc. d/b/a Yellow.ai, taking Yellow.ai public on Nasdaq under the name “Yellow.ai.” The deal values Yellow.ai at approximately $300 million pre-money and implies about $550 million of pro forma equity value, assuming no redemptions.

Before closing, Bluerock will domesticate from Cayman to Delaware, with all Class A and B ordinary shares, warrants and units converting into equivalent Pubco common stock, warrants and units. Yellow.ai shareholders will receive Pubco shares based on $300,000,000 divided by $10.00, allocated across fully diluted Yellow.ai equity.

Financing includes an equity PIPE for 500,000 Pubco units at $10.00 each and a Note PIPE for up to $50,000,000 of senior secured convertible notes bearing 12% interest (18% on default) and initially convertible at $10.00 per share, subject to reset and a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap. A 2026 Milestone Equity Plan can issue up to 17,500,000 Pubco shares on revenue- and price-based triggers, and an additional equity plan will initially reserve 10% of post-close fully diluted shares. The sponsor will support the transaction, forfeit 750,000 founder shares and 2,000,000 warrants, and transfer up to 1,000,000 shares to PIPE investors. There is no minimum cash condition, and closing is targeted for the second half of 2026, subject to shareholder approvals and customary conditions.

Filing Explained

The signed deal remains unclosed; its financing can add senior secured debt and variable-price share settlement, alongside dilution for existing holders.

The July 31 agreement is signed but not completed; if it closes, the proposed financing would leave existing Bluerock holders alongside senior secured convertible debt and additional potential shares.

The notes would be issued only after closing, up to $50 million, with 12% annual interest, a 36-month maturity, and conversion terms that can reset downward. They must then be redeemed or converted in 21 monthly installments, potentially at a price based on 95% of recent trading prices, which could increase the share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership if shares are used.

The furnished press release describes more than $200 million of gross proceeds, but the agreement makes available closing cash depend on redemptions, transaction expenses, and proceeds actually received; that figure is therefore not a committed closing cash amount.

The note agreement also includes a financial covenant requiring at least $7.5 million of available cash in U.S. bank accounts after the financing is in place.

Business Combination Agreement regulatory
"entered into a Business Combination Agreement by and among Bluerock, Yellow and Merger Sub"
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.
Domestication regulatory
"will deregister as a Cayman Islands exempted company and domesticate as a Delaware corporation"
Domestication is the legal process by which a company changes its official ‘legal home’ from one place to another without creating a new business entity, similar to moving a household’s registration from one city to another while keeping the same people and possessions. It matters to investors because it can alter which laws, tax rules, reporting standards and shareholder rights apply, potentially affecting costs, governance and the value or liquidity of the company’s shares.
PIPE Investment financial
"the Equity PIPE Investment and the Note PIPE Investment are referred to as the PIPE Investments"
A pipe investment is a private sale of stock or convertible securities made directly to selected investors by a company that is already publicly traded, allowing the company to raise cash quickly without a full public offering. It matters to investors because it can dilute existing share value and change ownership stakes, but also signals that the company secured financing; like a homeowner taking a quick private loan to cover a repair, it can be a sign of needed funds or investor confidence.
original issue discount financial
"Notes will be purchased at a price of approximately $950 for each $1,000 of principal amount"
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
beneficial ownership limitation financial
"contains a beneficial ownership limitation that prohibits the holder from owning more than 9.99%"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
agentic AI technical
"Yellow.ai, a global leader in enterprise agentic AI for service automation"
Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On July 31, 2026 (the “Signing Date”), Bluerock Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (which will transfer by way of continuation and domesticate as a Delaware corporation prior to the Closing) (“Bluerock”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Bluerock, Bitonic Technology Labs Inc. d/b/a Yellow.ai, a Delaware corporation (“Yellow”), and BLRK Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.” Bluerock, Yellow and Merger Sub are individually referred to as a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties.”

 

The Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Bluerock and Yellow.

 

The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2026, following the receipt of the required approval by Bluerock’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

 

The Domestication

 

Subject to obtaining the required shareholder approvals and at least one day prior to the time of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), Bluerock will deregister as a Cayman Islands exempted company and transfer by way of continuation to and domesticate as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). In connection with the Domestication, Bluerock will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”). Among other things, the Charter will set forth the rights and preferences of the equity interests of Bluerock after the Domestication (such company after the Domestication, “Pubco”).

 

Immediately prior to the Domestication, each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of Bluerock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman Class B Share”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a Class A ordinary share of Bluerock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman Class A Share” and, together with the Cayman Class B Shares, the “Cayman Shares”). In connection with the Domestication: (i) each then issued and outstanding Cayman Class A Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Common Stock”); (ii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of Bluerock representing the right to purchase one Cayman Class A Share (each, a “Cayman Purchaser Warrant”) will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of Pubco Common Stock pursuant to the related warrant agreement (each warrant, a “Pubco Warrant”); and (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Bluerock will convert automatically into one unit of Pubco consisting of one share of Pubco Common Stock and one-third of one Pubco Warrant (each, a “Pubco Unit”).

 

The Business Combination and Consideration

 

In connection with the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Yellow (the “Merger”), with Yellow surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. Contemporaneous with the Closing, Bluerock will change its name to “Yellow.ai”.

 

Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Yellow, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Yellow Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Dissenting Shares and Cancelled Shares (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, which is equal to (i) the Aggregate Consideration (as defined below), divided by (ii) the Company Fully Diluted Stock (as defined below). “Aggregate Consideration” means the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to: (a) $300,000,000 divided by (b) $10.00, with the value in (a) subject to certain adjustments as further described in the Business Combination Agreement. “Company Fully Diluted Stock” means the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Yellow Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including (a) the number of shares of Yellow Common Stock issuable upon conversion of (i) all Simple Agreements for Future Equity entered into between Yellow and investors (each, a “Yellow SAFE”), and (ii) all Yellow Preferred Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), plus (b) the aggregate number of shares of Yellow Common Stock issuable upon exercise or settlement of all eligible options of Yellow issued and outstanding as of the Closing, plus (c) the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants of Yellow which are assumed by Pubco as of immediately following the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Bluerock will contribute to Yellow an amount in cash (the “Available Closing Cash”) equal to the sum of (without duplication): (a) all amounts in the Bluerock trust account as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, less (i) amounts required for the redemptions of Cayman Class A Shares by Bluerock’s shareholders (including any excise taxes expected to be payable in connection with the redemptions as reasonably determined by Bluerock in good faith consultation with Yellow) and (ii) transaction expenses of Yellow and Bluerock, plus (b) the aggregate proceeds, if any, actually received by Bluerock from the PIPE Investments (as described below) plus (c) all other cash and cash equivalents of Bluerock, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.

 

Milestone Equity Incentive Plan

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Bluerock has agreed to adopt, prior to the Closing Date and subject to the approval by Bluerock’s shareholders, a milestone equity incentive plan, to be effective as of the Effective Time (the “2026 Milestone Equity Plan” or the “2026 MEP”), in a form that provides for awards of restricted stock units on terms consistent with the term sheet attached as Exhibit E to the Business Combination Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2026 MEP, eligible participants will be entitled to receive up to an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock upon the vesting of performance- and service-based awards to be issued under the 2026 MEP. Such awards will vest upon the achievement of certain revenue and stock price-based targets (each, a “Triggering Event”) as follows:

 

(i)19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board (as defined below) certifies that Pubco has achieved annual revenue of at least $45 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately following the Closing;

 

(ii)19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that Pubco has achieved annual revenue of at least $55 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately following the Closing;

 

(iii)19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that Pubco has achieved annual revenue of at least $65 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately following the Closing; and

 

(iv)42.85% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that, at any time during the 5-year period following the Closing Date, the VWAP of the shares of Pubco Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.00 for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days.

 

No eligible participant will vest in any award unless and until such participant remains in continued service with Pubco until the date of achievement of the applicable Triggering Event (and in the case of the price-based target, through the first anniversary of the Closing Date). If any of the Triggering Events fail to occur by the applicable deadline, then the associated portion of the award (and all shares of Pubco Common Stock subject thereto) will be immediately forfeited.

 

Governance

 

The Parties have agreed to take all necessary action, including causing the current directors of Bluerock to resign, so that effective at the Closing, the board of directors of Pubco (the “Pubco Board”) will consist of a three class “staggered” board of nine individuals (appointed in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq). Eight directors will be chosen by Yellow and one director will be chosen by Bluerock Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), who will serve as a Class III director.

PIPE Investments

 

Equity PIPE Investment

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Bluerock and Yellow entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors, including certain affiliates of Yellow (the “Equity PIPE Investors” and the subscription agreements, the “Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Equity PIPE Investment”). Under the terms of the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Equity PIPE Investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, on the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate of 500,000 units of Pubco (the “Equity PIPE Units”) at $10.00 per Equity PIPE Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $5 million. Each Equity PIPE Unit consists of one share of Pubco Common Stock and one Pubco Warrant to purchase one share of Pubco Common Stock for $11.50 per share for a period of five years from the Closing. The closing of the Equity PIPE Investment is conditioned upon, among other things, the completion or concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Pursuant to the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, each Equity PIPE Investor may elect to reduce the number of Equity PIPE Units it is obligated to purchase under its Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement, on a one-for-one basis, up to the total amount of Equity PIPE Units subscribed thereunder if such Equity PIPE Investor (i) beneficially owns any Cayman Class A Shares as of the fifth calendar day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (including any Cayman Class A Shares purchased by the Equity PIPE Investor in the open market at a price less than the Per-Share Redemption Price (as defined in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement) (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”), (ii) does not exercise its right to redeem any of its Non-Redeemed Shares in connection with the Business Combination Meeting, (iii) does not sell or otherwise transfer its Non-Redeemed Shares prior to the Closing; and (iv) does not vote any Non-Redeemed Shares in favor of the Business Combination at the Business Combination Meeting or in favor of any proposal contained in the Proxy Statement (as defined in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement) related thereto. If an Equity PIPE Investor properly makes such election in accordance with the terms of the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, then it will be entitled to receive one Pubco Warrant for each Non-Redeemed Share held by it at Closing.

 

5

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that the Equity PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive 0.5 Commitment Shares from the Sponsor at the Closing for each Equity PIPE Unit purchased by such Equity PIPE Investor and Non-Redeemed Share held by such Equity PIPE Investor at Closing, subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Commitment Shares. The Commitment Shares issued to the Equity PIPE Investors will be subject to transfer restrictions for a period of 180 days after the Closing Date.

 

The foregoing description of the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.4, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Note PIPE Investment

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Bluerock and Yellow entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Note PIPE Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Note PIPE Investment” and, together with the Equity PIPE Investment, the “PIPE Investments”) with an accredited investor (the “Note PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which, following the Closing, Pubco will issue and sell to the Note PIPE Investor, in one or more closings, a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $50,000,000, consisting of (i) an initial note in an original principal amount of up to $25,000,000, to be issued and sold at the initial closing (the “Initial Note”), and (ii) one or more additional notes in an aggregate original principal amount for all additional closings of up to $25,000,000, issuable in increments of up to $5,000,000, which may be issued and sold following the initial closing at the election of the Note PIPE Investor or, in certain circumstances, at the election of Pubco, in each case subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement (the “Additional Notes”), such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed $25,000,000 without the consent of Pubco and the Note PIPE Investor. The initial closing under the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Business Combination, and will occur immediately following the Closing, subject to all conditions to closing be satisfied as of such time.

 

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which interest will be payable quarterly at the Company’s option in shares of Pubco Common Stock (subject to satisfaction of certain equity conditions), in cash, or by capitalizing such interest into the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note (i.e., payment in kind), or a combination of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the applicable interest rate will automatically increase to 18% per annum. The Notes will be purchased at a price of approximately $950 for each $1,000 of principal amount issued, reflecting an original issue discount of approximately 5%. The Notes will mature 36 months from the applicable issuance date of each Note, subject to extension in certain circumstances, including during the continuance of an event of default and in connection with certain fundamental transactions.

 

The Notes may be convertible into shares of Pubco Common Stock at the election of the holder at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment, including a downward reset of the Conversion Price if Pubco issues shares of its common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share below the then-current Conversion Price, and a further downward-only reset, on the 6-month anniversary of the initial closing, to the greater of (i) the greater of (x) the floor price then in effect and (y) a price equal to the average of the volume-weighted average price of Pubco Common Stock during the 10-trading day preceding such 6-month anniversary date and (ii) $6.00. Beginning on the first trading day following the 12-month anniversary of the issuance date of the Initial Note, and, with respect to any Additional Note, the first trading day following the 45th day after the issuance date of such Additional Note, Pubco will be required to redeem or convert, in 21 equal monthly installments, the then-outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note, together with accrued interest, at its election (subject to satisfaction of certain equity conditions), in cash at a 5% premium to the amount of the applicable installment or in shares of Pubco Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (x) the floor price then in effect and (y) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Pubco Common Stock during the 10 trading days preceding the applicable installment date, or a combination thereof.

 

6

 

Pubco will also have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to (i) 120% of the amount redeemed; provided that, solely with respect to the Additional Notes, once the Company has delivered notice to the holder that the Company has elected to exercise such redemption right with respect to the Initial Note, 115% shall apply until the Company has redeemed an aggregate conversion amount of Additional Notes equal to such aggregate amount of the Initial Note redeemed as of such time of determination, in each case, if redeemed within 12 months following the applicable issuance date, (ii) 110% of such amount if redeemed after such 12-month anniversary but prior to the 18-month anniversary of such issuance date, and (iii) 108% of such amount if redeemed on or after such 18-month anniversary, in each case subject to advance notice requirements. Pubco may not exercise this redemption right while an event of default is continuing.

 

The Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation that prohibits the holder, together with its attribution parties, from converting the Notes to the extent such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock.

 

The Notes rank senior to all other existing and future indebtedness of Pubco and will be secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets of Pubco and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each subsidiary, and are further supported by guaranties from each of Pubco’s U.S. subsidiaries.

 

The Note PIPE Purchase Agreement and the Notes contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants (including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the granting of liens, and restrictions on entering into variable rate transactions), a financial covenant requiring Pubco to maintain a minimum of $7,500,000 of available cash in U.S. bank accounts, closing conditions, equity conditions, and events of default.

 

For a period ending on the later of (i) July 31, 2030 (or such earlier date as the Note PIPE Investor may determine in its sole discretion) and (ii) the second anniversary of the later of the initial closing date and the last additional closing date, the Note PIPE Investor has the right to participate in future financing transactions of the Company for 9.9% of the securities offered, subject to customary exceptions for excluded securities.

 

In connection with the Note PIPE Investment, the Company shall also enter into a registration rights agreement with the Note PIPE Investor (the “Note PIPE Registration Rights Agreement”) at the initial closing under the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree to file a registration statement registering the resale of the Conversion Shares within 35 days following the date of such initial closing, use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 80 days after the date of such initial closing (or 110 days if subject to SEC review), and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the applicable registration period, subject to customary suspension rights.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement, Yellow executed and delivered to the Note PIPE Investor a promissory note in the original principal amount of $100,000, which does not bear periodic interest and matures on January 31, 2027. The promissory note will automatically be exchanged, immediately prior to the Effective Time, for (i) 750,000 shares of Yellow Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Yellow Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In connection with the closing of the Merger, such securities will be exchanged for (i) 750,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock and (ii) Pubco Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Note PIPE Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.5, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

 

At the Closing, Pubco, the Sponsor and certain securityholders of Yellow will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Among other things, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Sponsor and such other securityholders will be granted certain customary registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, with respect to securities of Pubco that they will hold following the Business Combination.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include, for example, statements about Bluerock’s or Yellow’s ability to effectuate the Business Combination discussed in this document; the benefits of the Business Combination; the future financial performance of Pubco (which will be the go-forward public company following the completion of the Business Combination) following the Closing; changes in Yellow’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Bluerock, Yellow and their respective management teams, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Bluerock and Yellow. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political conditions, and in applicable laws and regulations, (2) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreements and any negotiations with respect to the Business Combination; (3) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Bluerock, Yellow, the combined company, or others; (4) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Bluerock or Yellow for the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Bluerock or Yellow as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things: competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, the ability of the combined company to build or maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees, the timing and amount of future capital expenditures and requirements for additional capital, and the timing of future cash flow provided by operating activities, if any; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) the possibility that Yellow or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, political and/or competitive factors; (11) estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Bluerock’s filings with the SEC, including the Registration Statement, when available, and any periodic Exchange Act reports filed by Bluerock with the SEC such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

You should carefully consider the foregoing risk factors and the other risks and uncertainties which will be more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement and other documents filed by Bluerock from time to time with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or Bluerock’s or Yellow’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Bluerock nor Yellow presently know or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Bluerock and Yellow’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.

Bluerock, Yellow, and their respective representatives and affiliates specifically disclaim any obligation to, and do not intend to, update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Bluerock’s, Yellow’s, or any of their respective representatives or affiliates’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and therefore undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Technology: Nexus runs on multiple AI models — not locked to one provider — and improves with every conversation. 135+ languages, 85+ countries, 100+ enterprise integrations.

Valuation: Transaction metrics imply a pro forma equity value of ~$550 million, assuming no redemptions by BLRK public shareholders. Includes $30 million of committed PIPE financing from institutional investors.
   
Long-term alignment: The founders and key management are investing their own capital in the PIPE, side by side with institutional investors.

 

 

 

SAN MATEO, Calif. and NEW YORK, N.Y. — August 3, 2026 — Yellow.ai, a global leader in enterprise agentic AI for service automation, and Bluerock Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: BLRK) (“Bluerock”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced a definitive Business Combination Agreement expected to take Yellow.ai public. At closing, the combined company will operate as Yellow.ai and trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “YAI.”

 

Delivering Enterprise Agentic AI at Scale Today

 

 

Yellow.ai was founded in 2016 by Raghu Ravinutala, Rashid Khan and Jaya Kishore Reddy on a single conviction — that enterprise software would evolve from tools that assist people to agents that do the work. A decade later, Yellow.ai has that thesis in production.

 

The founding partnership has since grown from three to five. The partners — an engineering-led group with roots at IIT and MIT — combine technical depth with operating and capital-markets experience. The original founders lead product and platform, Kaushik Bhaskar brings business process outsourcing(“BPO”) operating leadership, and Nand Sharma brings private-equity roll-up execution. Together, they supply the three capabilities a consolidation strategy requires.

 

Yellow.ai captures the hard-won expertise of an enterprise’s best people and turns it into AI agents that plan, act and resolve autonomously — across systems, channels and languages. Adoption validates the technology: enterprise accounts now make up over 70% of recurring revenue, reflecting the result of a deliberate shift toward large, durable contracts.

 

Voice is the fastest-growing frontier in enterprise contact centers. Nexus Vox delivers low-latency, human-like voice agents in 135+ languages and is Yellow.ai’s fastest-growing, most widely adopted product.

 

 

 

 

Why Yellow.ai Wins

 

 

A compounding data advantage: Every interaction improves the platform. Yellow.ai’s proprietary harness, context engine and multi-LLM orchestration sit above a commoditizing model layer — where the durable value accrues.

 

A truly global platform: 85+ countries, with enterprise deployments across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

 

Industry recognition: Named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Conversational AI Platforms for Customer Service, Q2 2026.

 

Positioned to Capitalize on a Significant Market Reallocation

 

 

Management believes the shift from human-delivered to AI-delivered customer experience will be one of the largest enterprise reallocations of the coming decade. This shift is centered on the BPO market, in which enterprises outsource customer-facing and back-office functions, such as customer support, technical support, finance and accounting and human resources, to specialized third-party providers in order to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and scale their operations.

 

Today the BPO market is a $384 billion, labor-intensive category where roughly 85% of customer-service calls are still answered by humans. By 2035 it is projected to reach $906 billion — with the AI agent sub-segment compounding from $12 billion to $295 billion, a ~43% CAGR.

 

Yellow.ai is built to capture that shift: organic growth, BPO roll-ups, and proprietary industry-specific AI models.

 

Founders’ Commentary

 

 

Raghu Ravinutala, CEO, named to the Top 50 SaaS CEOs (2023)

 

“Ten years ago we bet that enterprises would stop buying software that assists people and start deploying agents that do the work. That’s no longer a thesis — it’s in production: 16 billion conversations a year, across 135+ languages, inside some of the largest companies on earth. BPOs, with a large US market, mainly driven by humans, will move to agents that plan, act and resolve — and the platform enterprises trust to run it will define the category.”

 

Jaya Kishore Reddy, CPO, named to BW Businessworld’s 40 Under 40 (2022)

 

“The industry is moving to specialized models. Yellow.ai is positioned to build industry-leading IP trained on domain expertise, vertical by vertical.”

 

Rashid Khan, CMO & Head of IR, named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 for Enterprise Technology (2022)

 

“Enterprise demand for AI is accelerating. This combination positions us to meet it.”

 

Kaushik Bhaskar, CEO – AI Services

 

“The CX industry is at an inflection point, and Yellow.ai has the technology, data and platform to lead it — a chance to build a category-defining company.”

 

Nand Sharma, President and Group CFO

 

“We pair enterprise AI software with proven operating expertise, so enterprises transform faster with better efficiency, quality and outcomes.”

Sponsor Commentary

 

 

Ramin Kamfar, Chairman and CEO of Bluerock Acquisition Corp.

 

“As some investors seek exposure to AI roll-up strategies, Yellow.ai is executing a consolidation strategy in a market we believe is ripe for operational optimization, growth trajectory, and margin expansion. Yellow.ai has built an enterprise-grade platform already operating at production scale across some of the world’s most demanding organizations. We’re excited to back the Yellow.ai team as they aim to consolidate this attractive and fragmented market and scale their agentic AI platform.”

 

Business Combination Structure to Accelerate Growth

 

 

The BCA has received unanimous approval from the Boards of Directors of both Bluerock and Yellow.ai. Completion of the Business Combination remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the requisite approval from Bluerock’s shareholders.

 

Under the terms of the BCA, the Business Combination values Yellow.ai at a pre-money valuation of approximately $300 million.

 

The Business Combination ascribes a pro forma equity value of approximately $550 million to the combined company. The Business Combination is expected to generate more than $200 million in gross proceeds, including:

 

·Approximately $175 million of cash held in Bluerock’s trust account at closing (assuming no redemptions of Bluerock’s public shares); and
   
·Approximately $30 million of committed PIPE financing from institutional investors.

 

Yellow.ai intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to accelerate investment in its agentic AI platform, expand enterprise sales across North America and Europe, and scale its global operations. The combined company also plans to deploy capital toward a disciplined M&A strategy focused on acquiring complementary BPO operators. Yellow.ai plans to transform acquired BPOs into AI-native operations powered by its AI platform.

 

In addition to the $30 million of committed PIPE financing, Yellow.ai may raise additional PIPE financing as part of this Business Combination. The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, including that none of the risks identified above materialize; that there are no unforeseen changes to economic and market conditions, and that no significant events occur outside the ordinary course of business. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Bluerock or the combined company resulting from the Business Combination with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Yellow.ai is subject to numerous risks factors, including but not limited to the following: • Yellow.ai is an early-stage company with a history of financial losses and expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. • The impact of worldwide economic conditions, including the resulting effect on spending by businesses and spending on technology, may adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, operating results and financial condition. • Yellow.ai's limited operating history in a new and developing market makes it difficult to evaluate its current business and future prospects and may increase the risk that it will not be successful. • The markets for Yellow.ai's offerings are new and evolving and may develop more slowly or differently than expected. Yellow.ai's future success is dependent on the growth and expansion of these markets, its ability to adapt and respond effectively to evolving market conditions and its relationship with its business partners. • Non-performance under, termination, non-renewal or material modification of agreements with Yellow.ai's business partners could have a material adverse effect on Yellow.ai's business, financial condition and/or results of operations. • Yellow.ai's business could be harmed if it fails to manage its growth effectively. • Yellow.ai's operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by Yellow.ai. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, Yellow.ai's actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results. • As a result of Yellow.ai's business model, it may not be able to accurately assess its financial position and results of operations. • As Yellow.ai and its channels and customers adopt its proprietary machine learning systems, it may be exposed to risks related to systems efficiency and disclosure and changes to the political and regulatory framework for AI technology, which can adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, financial condition and results of operations. • If Yellow.ai fails to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of its platform in a manner that responds to customers' evolving needs, its business may be adversely affected. • Yellow.ai may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. • Yellow.ai may need to raise additional funds to pursue its growth strategy or continue its operations, and Yellow.ai may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms. • Failure to effectively develop and expand Yellow.ai's marketing, sales, customer service, and content management capabilities could harm its ability to increase Yellow.ai's customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of Yellow.ai's platform. • If the availability of Yellow.ai's platform does not meet its service-level commitments to customers, Yellow.ai's current and future revenues may be negatively impacted. • Yellow.ai will have broad discretion in the use of proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return. • Yellow.ai is dependent on the continued services and performance of its senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, operating results and financial condition. • If Yellow.ai's software or platform contains serious errors or defects, Yellow.ai may lose revenues and market acceptance and may incur costs to defend or settle claims with its customers. • If Yellow.ai does not or cannot maintain the compatibility of its platform with third-party applications that its customers use in their businesses, Yellow.ai's revenues will decline. 34 Bluerock is subject to numerous risks factors, including but not limited to the following: • Bluerock may not be able to obtain the required shareholder approval to consummate the proposed transaction. • Bluerock Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Bluerock's sponsor (the "Sponsor"), and certain other shareholders of Bluerock have agreed to vote in favor of the proposed transaction, which may increase the likelihood that Bluerock will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the proposed transaction. • Bluerock cannot assure you that its due diligence review of Yellow.ai's business has identified all material issues or risks associated with Yellow.ai, its business, or the industry in which it operates. Additional information may later arise in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and proxy materials or after completion of the proposed transaction. If Bluerock's due diligence investigation of Yellow.ai's business was inadequate, then shareholders of the combined company following the proposed transaction could lose some or all of their investment. • The Sponsor and certain directors and officers of Bluerock have interests in the proposed transaction that are different from or are in addition to public shareholders, which may include direct or indirect ownership of Bluerock's founder shares and/or private placement warrants, each of which will lose their value if an initial business combination is not consummated. • The Sponsor and Bluerock's directors, executive officers and affiliates of Bluerock's management team may receive a positive return on their founder shares even if Bluerock's public shareholders experience a negative return on their investment after consummation of the proposed transaction. • Bluerock may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors. • Bluerock is an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we believe that the combined company will qualify as an emerging growth company following the proposed Bluerock and the combined company intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, which could make their securities laws attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare performance with other public companies. • If Bluerock is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult to complete the proposed transaction or cause the parties to abandon their efforts to complete the proposed transaction. • In connection with the proposed transaction, the Sponsor and Bluerock's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Class A ordinary shares from Bluerock's public shareholders, which may reduce the public float of the combined company's shares.
