WinVest Acquisition Corp. filed a Form 8-K on September 18, 2026, disclosing that its stockholders approved amendments to the company’s charter and its investment management trust agreement. These changes extend the deadlines for the company to complete a business combination and for the liquidation of its trust account.
At a special meeting held on September 15, 2026, stockholders approved the Extension Amendment Proposal. This amendment extends the Termination Date, by which the company must consummate an initial business combination, from September 17, 2026, to March 17, 2027. The amendment allows the company to extend this date monthly for up to five additional months, provided the board of directors approves the extension upon request by the Sponsor and provides five days' advance notice.
Separately, the stockholders approved the Trust Amendment Proposal. This amendment extends the date on which Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company must liquidate the Trust Account from September 17, 2026, to October 17, 2026. The amendment further allows the company to extend the Liquidation Date up to five times for an additional one month each time, provided $30,000 is deposited into the Trust Account for each extension.
The meeting was held with a quorum, as holders of 3,029,173 shares of common stock, representing approximately 98.32% of the voting power, were present in person or by proxy. All three proposals—Extension Amendment, Trust Amendment, and Adjournment—received unanimous approval from the voting shareholders.
In connection with these extensions, the company issued an unsecured promissory note dated September 16, 2026, to the Sponsor. The note has a principal amount of $180,000 and matures upon the earlier of the closing of a business combination or the company’s liquidation. The note does not bear interest and will only be repaid from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account if a business combination is not consummated.
