On July 29, an extraordinary general meeting of D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp. was held, with 41,200,000 shares eligible to vote.

Shareholders cast votes totaling 25,658,433 ordinary shares, amounting to 62.28% of the outstanding shares, thereby approving the proposed business combination with Exascale Labs. Following those redemptions, roughly $12 million remains in the company’s trust account, meeting the cash‑closing condition set out in the merger agreement.

Business Combination Approved

The extraordinary meeting ratified the Agreement and Plan of Merger, originally dated January 11, 2026. Under the agreement, the merger subsidiary will be absorbed into Exascale, which will become a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the company’s public shell. The domestication step will move the corporate domicile from the British Virgin Islands to Delaware, with the surviving entity set to adopt the name Exascale Labs Holdings Inc.

The approval of the charter and bylaws amendments, together with the election of five directors, fulfills the governance prerequisites for the transaction. By securing shareholder consent, the company removes a major procedural hurdle, enabling the forthcoming Nasdaq listing. These changes streamline control, align voting rights with the new share classes, and satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements.

Trust Cash and Closing Outlook

Following the mass redemption, the trust retains roughly $12 million, which, after deducting transaction costs, will flow to the combined company at closing. This balance meets the minimum cash threshold required by the business combination agreement, eliminating the need for immediate external financing. The company has indicated no plans to raise additional capital before the transaction closes.

With the cash requirement satisfied, the combined firm can concentrate on integrating Exascale’s GPU‑as‑a‑service platform and pursuing growth in AI compute infrastructure, while preserving financial flexibility. Completion of that filing will trigger the Nasdaq debut and allow the market to price the new AI‑focused business. The timing of that filing, governed by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, will be the decisive catalyst for investors seeking exposure to next‑generation AI compute infrastructure.
