Business Combination financial
"to approve the Business Combination with Boost Run from April 8, 2026 to April 30, 2026"
A business combination happens when two or more companies join together to operate as one, like two friends merging their teams into a single group. This is important because it can change how companies grow, compete, and make money, often making them bigger and more powerful in the market.
Registration Statement on Form S-4 regulatory
"including the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which includes a proxy statement"
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.
proxy statement/prospectus regulatory
"a proxy statement of Willow Lane and a prospectus in connection with Business Combination, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus"
A proxy statement or prospectus is a document that companies send to shareholders to provide important information about upcoming decisions or investments, such as voting on company issues or offering new shares to the public. It helps investors understand the details and risks involved, enabling them to make informed choices about their ownership or involvement with the company.
redemption demands financial
"the deadline for delivery of redemption demands from holders of Willow Lane’s Class A ordinary shares"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
special purpose acquisition company financial
"a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (“Willow Lane”)"
A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a company formed with the sole purpose of raising money through a public offering to buy or merge with an existing private business. It acts like a vehicle that allows private companies to go public more quickly and with less complexity. For investors, it offers an opportunity to invest early in a potential acquisition, though it also carries risks if the intended deal doesn’t materialize.

These forward-looking statements (including projections) are predictions, and other statements about future events or conditions that are based on current expectations, estimates and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts Boost Run’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the inability of the parties to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; the ability to maintain the listing of Willow Lane’s securities on a national securities exchange; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Pubco’s securities on Nasdaq following the Business Combination, including having the requisite number of shareholders; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; Boost Run’s limited operating history, lack of history of operating as a public company and the rapidly evolving industry in which it operates; Boost Run’s use and reporting of business and operational metrics; uncertainties surrounding Boost Run’s business model; Boost Run’s expectations regarding future financial performance, capital requirements and unit economics; Boost Run’s competitive landscape; capital market, interest rate and currency exchange risks; Boost Run’s ability to manage growth and expand its operations; Boost Run’s ability to attract and retain additional customers and additional business from existing customers; Boost Run’s ability to secure additional data center capacity at affordable rates; Boost Run’s ability to acquire the GPUs necessary to expand its business at anticipated prices; the prices at which Boost Run will be able to sell the services it provides; Boost Run’s ability to provide reliable high compute services; Boost Run’s ability to successfully develop and sell new products and services; the risk that Boost Run’s technology and infrastructure may not operate as expected, including but not limited to as a result of significant coding, manufacturing or configuration errors; the failure to offer high quality technical support; Boost Run’s dependence on members of its senior management and its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; uncertainty or changes with respect to taxes, trade conditions and the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment; risks related to the marketing of Boost Run’s services to various government entities; uncertainty or changes with respect to laws and regulations; data protection or cybersecurity incidents and related regulations; disruption in the electrical power grid at or near one or more of Boost Run’s data centers; physical security breaches; supply chain disruptions; changes in tariffs or import restrictions; Boost Run’s lack of business interruption insurance; Boost Run’s ability to maintain, protect and defend its intellectual property rights; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Willow Lane’s securities; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by Willow Lane’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Willow Lane; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Boost Run, Willow Lane, Pubco or others following announcement of the proposed Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby; the risk that shareholders of Willow Lane could elect to have their shares redeemed, leaving Pubco with insufficient cash to execute its business plans; past performance by Boost Run management team may not be indicative of the future performance of Pubco after the Business Combination; the risk that an active market for the securities of Pubco after the Business Combination may not develop; and those risk factors discussed in documents of Willow Lane, Boost Run and Pubco filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Willow Lane nor Boost Run presently know or can anticipate or that Willow Lane and Boost Run 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 Willow Lane’s, Boost Run’s and Pubco’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Form 8-K. Willow Lane, Boost Run and Pubco anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Willow Lane’s, Boost Run’s and Pubco’s assessments to change. However, while Willow Lane, Boost Run and Pubco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Willow Lane, Boost Run and Pubco specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.
