This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Silverbox Corp IV (SBXD), a Cayman Islands exempted company and emerging growth company, on August 4, 2026. The filing addresses a material amendment to the Business Combination Agreement originally entered into on August 6, 2025, between SBXD and Parataxis Holdings Inc. (the "Company"). The proposed transaction involves a business combination where Parataxis Holdings Inc. will become the publicly listed company ("Pubco").
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the reporting period. As a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) in the pre-combination phase, the document focuses on transactional terms rather than operational financial performance. The filing notes that the Class A ordinary shares are part of units trading on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: SBXD) and that redeemable warrants (Symbol: SBXD.WS) are exercisable at $11.50 per share.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change disclosed in this filing is the execution of the Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement on August 4, 2026. Key changes include:
- Extension of Outside Date: The deadline to consummate the business combination (the "Outside Date") has been extended from August 6, 2026, to December 31, 2026.
- Future Extension Mechanism: The amendment establishes a provision allowing SBXD and the Company to further extend the Outside Date if SBXD receives an extension of its initial business combination deadline. Any such further extension would be for a period equal to the shorter of (i) the period ending on the last day of such extension or (ii) a period mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Outlook and Management Commentary: The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the anticipated completion of the Transactions. Management notes that the definitive proxy statement and prospectus (Registration Statement S-4) have been filed with the SEC and will be mailed to shareholders for voting.

- Redemptions: High levels of redemptions by public shareholders could reduce funds available for Pubco's operations and jeopardize exchange listing.
- Bitcoin and Digital Asset Volatility: Pubco's stock price is expected to be highly correlated with Bitcoin prices. Risks include regulatory changes reclassifying Bitcoin as a security, cyberattacks, loss of private keys, and market volatility.
- Geopolitical and Regulatory Risks: Specific risks related to South Korea, including geopolitical tensions and regulatory uncertainty regarding digital assets.
- Dilution: Potential dilution from the exercise of warrants, the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA), and the conversion of Sponsor Class B ordinary shares.
