Item 8.01 Other Events

 

Extension of Business Combination Period to November 30, 2024

 

As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2024, Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (the “Company”) held an annual meeting of stockholders to consider, among other things, proposals to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in order to extend the time the Company has to complete its initial business combination from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the termination date by one additional month each, for a total of twelve additional months, until September 30, 2025, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

 

On October 31, 2024, the Company funded the extension that had previously been approved by the Board by depositing $83,286.56 into the Trust Account, thereby extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial business combination from October 31, 2024 to November 30, 2024 (the “November 2024 Extension”).

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

On July 22, 2024, Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, entered into a merger agreement, by and among Parent, Trailblazer Merger Sub, Ltd., an Israeli company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Trailblazer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdings”), and Cyabra Strategy Ltd., a private company organized in Israel (the “Company”) (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (a) Parent shall merge with and into Holdings and Holdings shall be the survivor of such merger (the “Parent Merger” and all references to Parent subsequent to the Parent Merger shall be intended to refer to Holdings as the survivor of the Parent Merger) and (b) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), following which Merger Sub will cease to exist and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). In connection with the Merger, Parent will be renamed “Cyabra, Inc.”

 

The Merger will be submitted to shareholders of Parent for their consideration. Parent intends to file the Registration Statement with the SEC which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus (a “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). A definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to Parent shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Merger. Parent may also file other relevant documents regarding the Merger with the SEC. Parent’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in connection with Parent’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Merger, because these documents will contain important information about Parent, the Company and the Merger. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Merger and other documents filed with the SEC by Parent, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Parent’s Chief Development Officer at 510 Madison Avenue, Suite 1401, New York, NY 10022.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are not historical facts but are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the Merger, the anticipated timing of the Merger, the implied enterprise value, future financial condition and performance of the Company and the combined company after the Closing and expected financial impacts of the Merger, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Merger, the level of redemptions of Parent’s public stockholders and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of the Company. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of Parent’s and Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. 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 Parent and the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Parent’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by Parent’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Parent, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Parent and the Company, (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on the Company’s business relationships, performance, and business generally, (vi) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans of the Company and potential difficulties in Company employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction, (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or against Parent related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (viii) the ability to maintain the listing of Parent’s securities on Nasdaq, (ix) the price of Parent’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which the Company plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, and (x) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties as set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, and/or will be contained in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when available, and in those other documents that Parent has filed, or will file, with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties above are not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither Parent nor Company presently know or that Parent and Company 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 Parent’s and Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Parent and Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Parent’s and Company’s assessments to change. However, while Parent and Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Parent and Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Parent’s and Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K . Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
