Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. Approves Business Combination with Boost Run
What Happened
Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. announced that shareholders approved the proposed business combination with Boost Run (the “Business Combination”) at an extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a definitive proxy filed April 9, 2026 (supplemented). Key voting outcomes include approval of the Business Combination, domestication (Cayman Islands → Delaware) and a number of governance and Nasdaq-related proposals. The filing was made on Form 8-K on May 4, 2026; a press release dated April 30, 2026 is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters
Shareholder approval clears a major regulatory and corporate-governance hurdle needed to complete the transaction that will re-domicile Willow Lane to Delaware and combine it with Boost Run to form the public operating company (“Pubco”), subject to remaining closing conditions. The ~$134.5M left in the trust account is the cash available to support the combined company at closing. Investors should note some proposals (charter adoption and director election) were non‑binding advisory votes, and the filing contains standard forward-looking statement disclosures and risk factors about timing, listing on Nasdaq, and transaction risks.
