| Item 7.01. |
Regulation FD Disclosure. |
A copy of a press release issued
by EGH Acquisition Corp. (“EGH”) and Hecate Energy LLC (“Hecate”) on August 28, 2026 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On March 5, 2026, EGH was added
as a defendant in a declaratory judgment claim asserted in on-going litigation with a lender of Parent. The suit is styled NEC Fund
VI HE Lender, LLC, NEC Fund VI HE Lender (Offshore), LLC, and NEC Fund VI HE Lender (Signature), LLC, Plaintiffs, v. Hecate Holdings LLC,
Hecate Energy Group LLC, Repsol Renewables North America, Inc. and EGH Acquisition Corp, Defendants, in the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware. On August 27, 2026, the parties entered into a mutual release and settlement agreement with respect to the claims
alleged in the suit and intend to file a motion to dismiss the suit.
The information in
this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under
that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of EGH under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation
language in such filings.
Additional Information about the Business
Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed business combination
between EGH and Hecate (the “Business Combination”), EGH intends to file a registration statement (the “Registration
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus
of EGH, and after the Registration Statement is declared effective, EGH will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to
the Business Combination to EGH’s shareholders. The Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein,
when declared effective by the SEC, will contain important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be voted
upon at a meeting of EGH’s shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination. EGH may also file other documents with the
SEC regarding the Business Combination. EGH shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed in connection
with the Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about EGH, Hecate and the Business Combination. Shareholders
and investors will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other relevant materials (when they become available) and
other documents filed by EGH at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication
relates to the proposed Business Combination between EGH and Hecate and does not constitute a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy,
consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction, and shall not constitute an offer
to sell or exchange or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of EGH (prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination)
or Hecate, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities
shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, and otherwise in accordance
with applicable law.
Participants in the Solicitation
EGH and Hecate and
their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from EGH’s shareholders
in connection with the Business Combination. Information about EGH’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of EGH’s
securities is set forth in EGH’s filings with the SEC. To the extent that holdings of EGH’s securities by EGH’s directors
and executive officers have changed since the amounts printed in the prospectus for EGH’s public offering dated May 8, 2025, as
filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025 (the “Prospectus”), such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change
in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be
deemed participants in the proposed transaction may be obtained by reading the Registration Statement, including the preliminary and definitive
proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction when it becomes available. These documents can be obtained free of
charge from the sources indicated above.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in
this communication may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and generally relate to future
events or EGH’s or Hecate’s future financial or other performance metrics. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,”
“continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,”
“target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology.
Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about EGH’s and Hecate’s ability to effectuate the Business
Combination; the benefits of the Business Combination; the future financial performance of the combined company following the Business
Combination; changes in EGH’s or Hecate’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses,
projected costs, prospects, the ability to raise additional funds prior to the Closing and plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking
statements are based on information available as of the date of this communication, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions,
and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing
EGH’s or Hecate’s views as of any subsequent date, and none of EGH or Hecate undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, EGH’s and Hecate’s actual results or performance may
be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results
to differ include: (i) the timing to complete the Business Combination; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances
that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreements relating to the Business Combination; (iii) the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted against EGH, Hecate or others following announcement of the Business Combination; (iv) the inability
to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain the approval of EGH shareholders; (v) the combined company’s success
in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, its officers, key employees or directors following the Business Combination; (vi)
the combined company’s ability to obtain the listing of its common stock and warrants on the stock exchange following the Business
Combination; (vii) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Hecate as a result of the announcement
and consummation of the Business Combination; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (ix)
unexpected costs related to the Business Combination; (x) the amount of any redemptions by public shareholders of EGH being greater than
expected; (xi) the management and board composition of the combined company following the Business Combination; (xii) limited liquidity
and trading of the combined company’s securities; (xiii) the use of proceeds not held in EGH’s trust account (the “Trust
Account”) or available from interest income on the balance of the Trust Account; (xiv) geopolitical risk and changes in applicable
laws or regulations; (xv) the possibility that EGH, Hecate or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business,
and/or competitive factors; (xvi) operational risk; (xvii) litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management
time and attention and the additional costs and demands on Hecate’s resources; (xviii) the risks that the consummation of the Business
Combination is substantially delayed or does not occur; and (xix) other risks and uncertainties, including those to be included under
the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement to be filed by EGH with the SEC and those included under the heading
“Risk Factors” in the Prospectus and in its subsequent periodic reports and other filings with the SEC. In light of the significant
uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by EGH, Hecate,
their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that EGH and Hecate will achieve their objectives and plans in any
specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this communication represent the views of EGH and Hecate as of the
date of this communication. Subsequent events and developments may cause that view to change. However, while EGH and Hecate may elect
to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent required
by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of EGH or Hecate as of
any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
