Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 25, 2024, Onyx Acquisition Co. I (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that as of the close of business on November 13, 2024, the publicly held Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units issued in its initial public offering, will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive their pro-rata share in the Company’s trust account (after permitted withdrawal of dissolution expenses), because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

The Company’s sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to its outstanding founder shares issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.

The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 4, 2024 in order to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expected Redemption Amount and anticipated filings with the Commission. These statements are based on current expectations on the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ significantly, including, without limitation, the risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, and in other reports the Company may file with the Commission from time to time. 

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
