Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On February 14, 2025, Maywood Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a Cayman Islands exempt company, consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 8,625,000 units (“Units”), including 1,125,000 Units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one right (“Rights”), each Right entitling its holder to receive one-fifth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 265,625 units (“Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,656,250. The Private Placement Units were purchased by Maywood Sponsor, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), and the underwriters in the IPO. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, subject to certain exceptions. The purchasers of the Private Placement Units have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units (or underlying securities), subject to certain customary exceptions, until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In addition, the Sponsor lent the Company an aggregate of $500,000 as of the closing date of the IPO bearing no interest (the “Sponsor Loan”). The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were added to the trust account established in connection with the IPO. The Sponsor Loan shall be repaid at the closing of an initial business combination. If the Company does not complete an initial business combination, the Company will not repay the Sponsor Loan and its proceeds will be distributed to public shareholders. The Sponsor has waived any claims against the trust account in connection with the Sponsor Loan.

 

An audited balance sheet as of February 14, 2025, reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO, the Private Placement and the Sponsor Loan, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the consummation of the IPO is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
