Filing Summary: On December 23, 2024, Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I completed the Closing of the Sponsor Handover following shareholder approval on December 17, 2024. The Purchase Agreement involved the sale of one Class B ordinary share, 6,037,499 Class A ordinary shares, and 11,690,000 private placement warrants from Sponsors to Acquirer for $1.00. This transaction required an extension of the initial business combination timeline, moving the deadline from December 17, 2024, to December 17, 2025, which was approved by shareholders. Effective upon closing, Vikas Mittal was appointed as the new CEO and CFO, succeeding Craig Sinfield-Hain. Additionally, several directors resigned, and the Letter Agreement from December 14, 2021, was terminated. Following the completion of the merger and the associated share redemptions, Mr. Mittal is expected to beneficially own approximately 75.6% of the company's ordinary shares. As a result of the merger, the company plans to transition to the OTCQB Market after receiving a delisting notice from Nasdaq due to failure to complete a business combination by the initial deadline.
