HONG KONG, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Copley Acquisition Corp (NYSE: COPL, the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced today that at an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders convened on October 29, 2026 and adjourned to November 2, 2026 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved, by special resolution, a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) to permit the Company, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Termination Date”) up to 12 times, by one month each time, from November 2, 2026 to November 2, 2027 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 30 months after the consummation of its initial public offering), provided that, for each such monthly extension, the Company deposits, or causes to be deposited, $200,000 into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) (the “Extension Amendment”). The Extension Amendment became effective upon its approval by the Company’s shareholders on November 2, 2026. In connection therewith, on November 2, 2026, the Company issued an unsecured non-interest-bearing promissory note to Copley Acquisition Sponsors, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), with a principal amount of $2,400,000, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $2,400,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account. The note matures upon the earlier of the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and the Company’s liquidation.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders also approved a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), to extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination from November 2, 2026 to November 2, 2027. The Company and the Trustee entered into the amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement on November 2, 2026.
In connection with the extension, the Company has caused $200,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account as the first drawdown under the promissory note, in order to extend the period of time the Company has to complete an initial business combination for an additional one (1) month period, from November 2, 2026 to December 2, 2026. The Company will cause an additional $200,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account for each subsequent monthly extension needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination. The purpose of the extension is to provide time for the Company to complete an initial business combination.
In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 12,889,720 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.63 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $137,119,390.16.
