Item 8.01. Other Events.

Change to Proxy Statement for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on July 31, 2024.

On July 15, 2024, Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as amended hereby (the “Proxy Statement”) with respect to its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on July 31, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. EST (the “Meeting”), as a virtual meeting, to vote upon the proposals detailed in the Proxy Statement, including the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. All terms not defined herein are otherwise defined in the Proxy Statement.

The Proxy Statement stated “The approximate redemption price per share to be paid for redemptions is $11.09 per share, (the “Redemption Price”)”, which was based on 6,470,540 Class A Ordinary Shares and $71,763,780.48 estimated by the Company to be in the Trust Account as of the record date. The Company’s trustee has since confirmed the amount of $72,152,509.87 to be in the Company’s Trust Account as its liquidation value as of the record date, which results in a Redemption Price of approximately $11.15. Thus, the Company desires to amend the definition of Redemption Price each place referenced in the Proxy Statement as follows: “The approximate redemption price per share to be paid for redemptions is $11.15 per share (the “Redemption Price”)”, and to amend the amount of “$11.09” each place referenced to reflect “$11.15”.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Filing is provided for informational purposes only and has been prepared to assist interested parties in making their own evaluation with respect to the Company’s initial business combination and for no other purpose. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Filing. To the fullest extent permitted by law under no circumstances will the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, interest holders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this Filing, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. This Filing does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that may be required to make a full analysis of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, the Company or its initial business combination. Readers of this Filing should each make their own evaluation of the same, of the relevance and adequacy of the information and should make such other investigations as they deem necessary. This Filing contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Filing. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s assessments to change. These forward-looking statements, which may include, without limitation, words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will”, “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might,” “continues,” “think,” “strategy,” “future,” and similar expressions, involve significant risks and uncertainties (many of which factors are outside of the control of the Company). The foregoing must not be relied upon as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. The Company gives no assurance that the Company will achieve its expectations. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements, and they should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Filing.
