Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 23, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Bluerock Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) appointed Ziv Conen to the Board. Mr. Conen was appointed to serve as a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company’s second annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Conen was determined to be an “independent director” as defined in the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Since September 2021, Mr. Conen has been a Partner at New Era Capital Partners, where he leads early-stage investments across cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and AI. Between January 2016 and September 2021, Mr. Conen served as an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, where he led digital, technology, and advance analytics transformations across various industries. Mr. Conen’s career started in the Israeli Intelligence Corps, where he led technological, intelligence, and operational teams in Unit 8200 (the Signal Intelligence Unit). Mr. Conen finished his service as a Major. Mr. Conen received his MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and his B.Sc in Computer Science from the Open University of Israel. We believe Mr. Conen is qualified to serve on the Board because of his vast experience in the technology industry.
On January 23, 2026, the Company entered into an indemnity agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”) with Mr. Conen, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide contractual indemnification, in addition to the indemnification provided in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, against liabilities that may arise by reason of his service on the Board, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him as to which he could be indemnified, in the form previously filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-291337) for its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 6, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”).
On January 23, 2026, Mr. Conen entered into a letter agreement with the Company (the “Letter Agreement”) substantially similar to the letter agreement signed by the Company's directors and officers and the Sponsor (as defined below) at the Initial Public Offering.
On January 23, 2026, Mr. Conen entered into a joinder to the registration rights agreement, dated December 10, 2025, entered into by and among the Company, Bluerock Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the holders signatory thereto in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
In connection with his appointment as a director of the Company, Mr. Conen will receive 35,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company from the Sponsor.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indemnity Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the form of the Indemnity Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Other than as disclosed above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Conen and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Conen was selected as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Conen and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers and Mr. Conen does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
