Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K filing by KBL Merger Corp. IV (trading as KBLM) covers events occurring on July 9, 2020. The registrant is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) incorporated in Delaware. The report details the results of a Special Meeting of stockholders held to approve an extension of the deadline for consummating an initial business combination.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard operating metrics such as revenue, profit, or cash flow from operations, as the company is in a pre-business combination phase. Key liquidity and trust account figures reported are:

- Shares Redeemed: 106,186 public shares.
- Remaining Trust Account Balance: Approximately $10,279,476.43.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the extension of the company's operational timeline. Stockholders approved an amendment to the Charter extending the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination (and the date for cessation of operations if no combination is completed) from July 9, 2020, to November 9, 2020. Additionally, the Trust Account balance decreased due to the redemption of public shares.
