A Definitive Proxy Statement is a detailed document that a company sends to its shareholders before a big meeting, like voting on important decisions. It explains what's being voted on and gives important information so shareholders can make informed choices. It matters because it helps shareholders understand and participate in key company decisions.

"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 8, 2026, Melar Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) announced that an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) will be held on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at the office of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105 or on such other date and at such other place to which the Special Meeting may be adjourned. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association currently in effect, and as amended (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), shareholders seeking to bring business before the Special Meeting must deliver such proposals to the Company at: Melar Acquisition Corp. I, 143 West 72nd Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10023, no later than May 14, 2026. Any shareholder proposal must also comply with the requirements of the law of the Cayman Islands, the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Amended and Restated Charter. Under the Amended and Restated Charter and the law of the Cayman Islands, no business other than as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting to be filed with the SEC may be transacted at the Special Meeting.

 

The Special Meeting is to be held, in part, to satisfy the annual meeting requirement pursuant to Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Rule”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Pursuant to the Rule, the Company is required to hold its first annual meeting of shareholders on or prior to December 31, 2026. Because the Special Meeting does not technically constitute an “annual general meeting” under Cayman Islands law, the terms of the Company’s Class I directors do not expire at the Special Meeting.

FAQ

What did Melar Acquisition Corp. I (MACI) announce in this 8-K?

Melar Acquisition Corp. I announced it will hold a Special Meeting of shareholders on June 16, 2026, in New York. The meeting will, in part, satisfy Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5620(a) requirement to hold the company’s first annual shareholder meeting by December 31, 2026.

When is the Special Meeting for Melar Acquisition Corp. I (MACI) scheduled?

The Special Meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2026, at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP in New York. The company may adjourn it to another date or place, but June 16, 2026, is the stated meeting date in this disclosure.

What is the deadline for MACI shareholders to submit proposals for the Special Meeting?

Shareholders must deliver any proposals for business at the Special Meeting by May 14, 2026. Proposals must be sent to Melar Acquisition Corp. I at 143 West 72nd Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10023, and comply with Cayman Islands law, SEC rules and the charter.

Can MACI shareholders raise new business from the floor at the Special Meeting?

No. Under the company’s amended and restated charter and Cayman Islands law, only business set forth in the definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting may be transacted. This limits the agenda strictly to items included in that proxy statement filed with the SEC.

How does the Special Meeting relate to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) for MACI?

The Special Meeting is being held, in part, to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires Melar Acquisition Corp. I to hold its first annual shareholder meeting on or before December 31, 2026. The company uses this Special Meeting to meet that listing requirement.

Do MACI Class I director terms end at the June 16, 2026 Special Meeting?

No. The company states that because the Special Meeting does not technically constitute an “annual general meeting” under Cayman Islands law, the terms of its Class I directors do not expire at this meeting. Their existing terms therefore continue beyond the Special Meeting date.
