Churchill Capital Corp IX/Cayman 8-K

What Happened

• Churchill Capital Corp IX (CCIX) and Plus Automation, Inc. (PlusAI) announced on February 9, 2026 that the extraordinary general meeting to vote on their proposed business combination was postponed from February 11, 2026 to April 15, 2026 (or such other date to be announced). The postponement is tied to current market conditions and the timing of completion of PlusAI’s year‑end 2025 audit.
• The companies issued a joint press release (furnished as Exhibit 99.1) and filed the disclosure on Form 8‑K.

Key Details

• New meeting date: rescheduled to April 15, 2026, or another date to be announced based on market conditions and audit timing.
• Redemption deadline extended: originally Feb 9, 2026; now extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the second business day preceding the rescheduled meeting. Shareholders who already submitted redemption requests may revoke them prior to the new deadline.
• Record date for voting: all shareholders of record as of close of business on January 7, 2026 are entitled to vote.
• Nasdaq listing plan: assuming closing and approvals, the combined company intends to list on Nasdaq under proposed symbols "PLS" (common stock) and "PLSW" (public warrants).

Why It Matters

• The delay pushes back the timeline for completing the business combination and any subsequent Nasdaq listing, and it extends the period for shareholders to decide on redemption or to change votes.
• Investors should note the extended redemption window and that previously submitted proxies remain valid (but votes can still be changed). Check the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC for voting, redemption and other transaction details before making decisions.
