Sponsor Contribution Update and Class B Conversion at Kochav Defense Acquisition

Kochav Defense Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:KCHV), a Cayman Islands exempted company, filed Definitive Additional Materials with the SEC on October 28, 2026, providing shareholders with supplemental information ahead of its extraordinary general meeting. The company disclosed that Kochav Sponsor LLC has decided to make contributions to the company's trust account that were not described in the definitive proxy statement filed on October 19, 2026.

According to the filing, the Sponsor will contribute $0.06 per Public Share that is not redeemed for each of the first 3 months following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, subject to an aggregate cap of $300,000 for that three-month period. Thereafter, the Sponsor will contribute $0.02 per Public Share not redeemed each month, capped at $100,000 per month. The filing does not specify the total number of Public Shares currently outstanding for purposes of calculating potential contribution amounts.

In a separate but related action, the filing disclosed that the Sponsor intends to convert 8,433,332 Class B ordinary shares into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to the Extension, contingent on shareholder approval at the EGM. The filing states that the converted Class A shares will remain "subject to the same restrictions applicable to the Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the Conversion, including certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination," as described in the company's final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 27, 2025 (File No. 333-286759). The filing notes the company and its representatives may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies and directs shareholders to the proxy statement for further detail on their interests.

What Was Disclosed

The filing supplements the October 19, 2026 proxy statement by announcing a new sponsor trust contribution structure and a planned conversion of 8,433,332 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, both contingent on shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal at the November 13, 2026 EGM.
