Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 2, 2023, bleuacacia ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy”) for its extraordinary general meeting (the “Extension Meeting”), scheduled to be held on May 19, 2023, at which the Company’s shareholders will vote on, among other things, a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Extension Proposal”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which it has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) to August 22, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the board of directors, if requested by bleuacacia sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until February 22, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after May 22, 2023.

As previously disclosed, on May 16, 2023, in connection with the Extension Meeting, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Initial Non-Redemption Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party, pursuant to which such third party agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 150,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Extension Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A ordinary shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 37,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor to such third party immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if such third party continued to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extension Meeting. On May 16, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into further non-redemption agreements (the “Additional Non-Redemption Agreements,” and together with the Initial Non-Redemption Agreement, “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with five additional unaffiliated third parties, pursuant to which such third parties agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 750,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Additional Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Extension Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A ordinary shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 187,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor to such third parties immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if such third parties continued to hold such Additional Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extension Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Extension Meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Non-Redemption Agreements, the Company and the Sponsor may enter into additional non-redemption agreements from time to time with other unaffiliated third parties, subject to the terms set forth in the Additional Non-Redemption Agreements.

The foregoing summary of the Additional Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed herein as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
