Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 17, 2022, Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note to Trailblazer Sponsor Group, LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”). On January 20, 2023, the maximum amount available under the Note was further increased to $400,000. As of March 31, 2023, both the Company and the Sponsor have mutually agreed to extend the maturity date of the original Note to the term as described below (the “Extension Note No. 1”). The Extension Note No. 1 is a non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the close of the Company’s initial business combination or (ii) September 30, 2024.

The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information included in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2023 (the “Current Report”), on March 31, 2023, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”) and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, which the underwriters exercised in full simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 6,900,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $69,000,000.

As also previously disclosed in the Current Report, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 394,500 units (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $3,945,000. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The holders of the Private Units were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering.

As of March 31, 2023, a total of $70,380,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. Included with this report as Exhibit 99.1 is an audited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 reflecting the receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO, the Private Placement and the full exercise of the over-allotment option.
