On November 11, 2025, the stockholders of Papaya Growth Opportunity Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (SPAC”), approved (i) an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to SPAC’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) to extend the date by which SPAC has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) to December 19, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by SPAC’s Board of Directors); and (ii) an amendment to SPAC’s investment management trust agreement, dated January 13, 2022, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “IMTA”), to allow the trustee to liquidate the trust account (as amended, the “Trust Account”) established in connection with SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”) at such time as may be determined by SPAC as set forth in the Charter Amendment (the “IMTA Amendment”). In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Charter Amendment and the IMTA Amendment became effective December 15, 2025.

Accordingly, on December 15, 2025, the Charter Amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and SPAC entered into the IMTA Amendment.

The foregoing descriptions of the Charter Amendment and the IMTA Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment, the holders of 61,828 shares of SPAC’s Class A common stock issued in the IPO (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.46 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $0.7 million. Following such redemptions, 28,222 Public Shares remain outstanding.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

As previously reported, SPAC entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) on April 21, 2025, with Forbes & Manhattan Resources Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“F&M”) and F&M Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with SPAC (the “Merger”), with SPAC surviving the Merger (as such surviving corporation, the “Surviving Corporation”), and would have become a direct subsidiary of F&M (collectively, the “Business Combination”).

On September 26, 2025, SPAC, F&M, Merger Sub and 2744026 Alberta Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the “Company”), entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which (i) F&M assigned to the Company, and the Company assumed, all of F&M’s rights and obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) Merger Sub will be replaced by a new subsidiary entity formed by the Company in Delaware, (iii) the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is extended by one year to December 31, 2026, and (iv) certain other technical and conforming changes were made to reflect the new structure and parties. The material terms of the Business Combination otherwise remain unchanged.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination. The Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination that will include a proxy statement of SPAC and a prospectus of the Company. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials will be sent to all SPAC stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger, the other transactions included in the Business Combination. SPAC also will file other documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and securities holders of SPAC are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination as they become available because they will contain important information about SPAC, the Company and the Business Combination.

Investors and securities holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by SPAC through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Participants in Solicitation

SPAC and the Company and their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from SPAC’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. Information about SPAC’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of SPAC’s securities is set forth in SPAC’s filings with the SEC, including SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. To the extent that such persons’ holdings of SPAC’s securities have changed since the amounts disclosed in SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the names and interests in the Merger and Business Combination of SPAC’s and the Company’s respective directors and officers and other persons who may be deemed participants in the Business Combination may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the Business Combination when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.
