Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 22, 2024, Pyrophyte Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), deposited $960,000 into its trust account (the “Trust Account”), which amount reflected the payment in full of the Company’s remaining commitment to make an aggregate of $1.92 million of cash contributions to the Trust Account in connection with the Company’s first extension of its deadline to complete an initial business combination. The total value of the Trust Account as of April 22, 2024 is approximately $101,725,052.

As previously announced, the Company has called an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on April 26, 2024 to vote on another amendment to its amended and restated articles and memorandum of association to extend the deadline by which it has to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2024 to April 29, 2025 (the “Second Extension”). If the Second Extension is approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Second Extension is implemented, the Company will deposit an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.0225 per public share outstanding after redemptions and (ii) $90,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2024 until April 29, 2025.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the definitive proxy statement dated April 9, 2024 relating to the Second Extension (the “Extension Proxy Statement”), as well as other documents filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), because these documents contain important information about the Company and the Second Extension. The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to shareholders of the Company as of a record date of April 8, 2024, on or about April 10, 2024. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Extension Proxy Statement, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: 3262 Westheimer Road, Suite 706, Houston, Texas 77098, Attention: Sten Gustafson, Chief Financial Officer.

Participants in Solicitation

The Company and its directors, executive officers and other members of their management may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s shareholders in connection with the proposals described therein. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors and officers in the Extension Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

Non-Solicitation
