Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
July 13, 2026, Tavia Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Vita Inclinata Technologies,
Inc. (“Vita”) issued a press release announcing that they have entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a
proposed business combination. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
No
assurances can be made that the Company and Vita will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, or that the proposed
business combination will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. Any transaction would be subject
to completion of due diligence, the negotiation of a definitive agreement providing for the proposed business combination, satisfaction
of the conditions negotiated therein, board and equity holder approval, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
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 the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
Additional Information
and Where to Find It
If
a definitive agreement is entered into in connection with the proposed business combination, a newly formed holding company, Vita or the
Company will prepare a registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a preliminary proxy statement of the Company containing
information about the proposed business combination and the respective businesses of the Company and Vita, as well as the prospectus relating
to a potential newly formed holding company’s securities to be issued in connection with the completion of the proposed business
combination, including a proxy statement/prospectus, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
If a definitive agreement is executed and after the registration statement is declared effective, the proxy statement/prospectus will
be mailed to the Company’s shareholders. The Company urges investors and other interested persons to read, when available, the proxy
statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about
the proposed business combination. Such persons can also read the Company’s reports filed with the SEC for a description of the
security holdings of its officers and directors and their respective interests as security holders in the consummation of the proposed
transactions described herein. The proxy statement/prospectus and the Company’s reports, once available, can be obtained, without
charge, at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
Participants in the
Solicitation
The
Company, or a newly formed holding company, Vita and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management
and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s shareholders in
connection with the proposed business combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names,
affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors and officers in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC. Information
regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to the Company’s shareholders
in connection with the proposed business combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed business combination
when available. Information concerning the interests of Vita’s and the Company’s participants in the solicitation, which may,
in some cases, be different than those of their respective equity holders generally, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus
relating to the proposed business combination when it becomes available.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This
Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit hereto include “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Company and Vita.
All information in this press release concerning Vita has been provided solely by Vita and has not been independently verified by the
Company, which makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no obligation to
update the information in this press release, except as required by law. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses
of Vita and the Company may differ from their actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements
as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,”
“forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,”
“should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, expectations with
respect to the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed business combination, expectations with respect
to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions
to the proposed business combination, and the timing of the completion of the proposed business combination. These forward-looking statements
involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of
these factors are outside of the control of Vita and the Company and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences
include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination
of the negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the proposed business combination, and the possibility that
the terms and conditions set forth in any definitive agreements with respect to the proposed business combination may differ materially
from the terms and conditions set forth in the letter of intent; (2) the outcome of any legal proceeding that is ongoing or may be instituted
against the parties following the announcement of the proposed business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto;
(3) the inability to complete the proposed business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Vita
and the Company or other conditions to closing; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s
securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the New York Stock Exchange, or another national securities exchange following the proposed
business combination; (5) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement
and consummation of the proposed business combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business
combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth
profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the proposed business combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations;
and (9) risks related to Vita’s business; (10) the “Risk Factors” sections of the most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC by the Company; other risks and uncertainties included in documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Vita
and the Company. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date made. Vita and the Company do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly
any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions,
or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Past performance by Vita’s or the Company’s
management teams and their respective affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance
on the historical record of the performance of Vita’s or the Company’s management teams or businesses associated with them
as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that Vita or the Company will, or are likely to, generate going forward.
No Offer or Solicitation
This
Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit hereto shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect
to any securities or in respect of the proposed business combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit hereto shall also
not constitute an offer to subscribe for, buy or sell or an invitation to subscribe for, buy or sell any securities or the solicitation
of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the proposed business combinations or otherwise, nor shall
there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
