Alpha Star Acquisition Corp: amends trust and extends combination date to Dec 15, 2027

What happened

• Alpha Star Acquisition Corp filed an 8-K reporting that, as approved at its extraordinary general meeting on Oct 13, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment dated as of Oct 13, 2026 (the "Trust Agreement Amendment") to the Investment Management Trust Agreement with Wilmington Trust, National Association. The amendment removes the monthly extension payment required to be deposited into the Company’s trust account beginning with the payment due in Oct 2026, and provides the Company discretion to extend the date to commence liquidating the Trust Account up to twelve (12) times from Dec 15, 2026, to Dec 15, 2027, each by an additional one (1) month, without depositing additional funds in the Trust Account.
• The Company also filed that, at the same meeting, its shareholders approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to delete the existing Section 36.2 and replace it with a new Section 36.2 to remove the monthly extension payment and extend the date to consummate a business combination to Dec 15, 2027.
