Kochav Defense Updates Extension Contribution Structure Before November 13 Shareholder Vote

According to the filing, Kochav Defense Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:KCHV), a Cayman Islands exempted company headquartered at 575 Fifth Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10017, issued the 8-K to inform shareholders of changes to the trust account contribution terms related to its pending Extension Amendment Proposal. The company previously disclosed that Kochav Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its designees would contribute $0.06 per unredeemed Public Share for the first three months (not to exceed $300,000 in aggregate) and $0.02 per unredeemed Public Share each month thereafter (not to exceed $100,000 per month).

The company disclosed that it has now decided to replace those per-share formulas with flat dollar amounts: $300,000 for the first 3 months and $100,000 per month thereafter. The filing states this update is being provided in connection with the company's ongoing proxy solicitation ahead of the November 13, 2026 extraordinary general meeting. Only holders of Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on October 13, 2026 are entitled to vote at the meeting, according to the filing.

The filing also disclosed that the company has decided to lower the permitted withdrawal from the Trust Account for dissolution expenses from $100,000 to $0 in connection with the Extension. The company noted that its governing documents currently permit the withdrawal of up to $100,000 of interest income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses if it is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination. The filing contains forward-looking statements, which the company identifies as subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and uncertainty around the amount of redemptions by public shareholders.
