Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 20, 2026, Averin Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”) on February 20, 2026. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-sixth of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 200,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to Averin Capital Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000. The Private Placement Units will not be redeemable by the Company and may be exercisable on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-293082) for the IPO, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2026. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

In connection with the IPO, the underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional units to cover over-allotments (the “Option Units”), if any. On March 5, 2026, the underwriters purchased an additional 3,386,008 Option Units pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $33,860,080.

A total of $283,860,080 of the proceeds from the sale of the Units, the Option Units, and the Private Placement Units was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

On March 5, 2026, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing the closing of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.
