Reporting date: September 25, 2026; the report was signed and includes subsequent announcements dated September 29, 2026. Spark I is a Cayman Islands SPAC seeking to complete a business combination, proposed with ZincFive, Inc.
Business context and key financial terms
- Shareholders approved extending the deadline to complete a business combination from September 29, 2026 to March 29, 2027, or an earlier date set by the board.
- The Sponsor agreed to make loans into the trust account beginning October 1, 2026, at $0.015 per public share remaining after redemptions, up to an aggregate maximum of approximately $201,304.
- The company issued the Sponsor a promissory note with principal of up to $400,000. It bears no interest and is due upon the earlier of completion of a business combination or March 29, 2027. If no business combination is completed by that date, repayment is limited to funds outside the trust account; otherwise, the note may be forfeited, eliminated, or forgiven.
- The company announced a one-time additional trust deposit of $0.10 per public share not redeemed in connection with the extension meeting, scheduled for October 5, 2026. It is in addition to the Sponsor contributions and is intended to increase the per-share amount payable in connection with a shareholder vote on the proposed ZincFive transaction or liquidation, whichever occurs first.
Vote and material changes
The extension amendment passed with 7,074,069 votes for, 57,456 against, and no abstentions. The amendment took effect upon approval; the company filed notice of the special resolutions with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies on September 28, 2026.
Public shareholders who had submitted redemption requests for the extension meeting could withdraw them by contacting Continental by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on October 2, 2026. Shareholders who did not withdraw by that deadline were to receive the original redemption price, estimated at approximately $10.92 per share.
Financial position, outlook, and risks
This 8-K does not provide financial statements or clear figures for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, trust-account balance, total debt, or liquidity.

If it fails to do so, the Sponsor note may not be recoverable from trust funds and may be forgiven or otherwise extinguished.
