PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)


☐	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Gores Holdings IX, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q3 2024 Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below.

The Company has delayed filing the Q3 2024 Form 10-Q because management is still evaluating the impact of the previously announced restatement caused by errors for the accounting of the Company’s tax provision. Management is still evaluating the impact of the restatement on the Company’s previously filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which also impacts the financial results for the Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024. This requires additional time for evaluation, and it is not expected that the Company will be able to make that filing within the 5 day extension permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☐ No ☒

Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes ☒ No ☐

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Based on preliminary results, the Company expects to report net income of approximately $1.75 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of approximately $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These financial results reflect preliminary estimates of the Company’s results of operations as of the date of the filing of this Form 12b-25. These estimates are subject to change upon the completion of the reporting process, adjustments as a result of the completion of the review of potential tax provision accounting errors discussed in Part III above, and review of the Company’s financial statements, and actual results may vary significantly from these estimates.
