Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 5, 2026, Tavia Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $540,000 to its sponsor, Tavia Sponsor Pte. Ltd. (the “Sponsor”), to be drawn down in connection with the previously announced contributions of up to $60,000 per month (the “Contributions”) by the Sponsor or its designees to the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), as described in the Proxy Statement (as defined below). The Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.
The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.
The information included in Item 5.07 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01 to the extent required herein.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03 to the extent required herein.

The information included in Item 5.07 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03 to the extent required herein.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 2, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to consider and vote upon certain matters set forth in the definitive proxy statement related to the Extension Meeting filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 12, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). On May 4, 2026, the record date for the Extension Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 15,920,833 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) issued and outstanding. At the Extension Meeting, 14,006,791 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 87.978% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date, were present in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy and constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.
At the Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”), by way of special resolution, in the form set forth as Annex A to the Proxy Statement (the “Articles Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from June 5, 2026 (the “Previous Termination Date”) to March 5, 2027, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors, for a total extension of up to nine months after the Previous Termination Date (the “Articles Amendment Proposal”). Approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal required a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon and voted in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy at the Extension Meeting.

Effective upon the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal, on June 2, 2026, the Articles were amended pursuant to the Articles Amendment. A copy of the Articles Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with the approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal, the Company’s public shareholders elected to redeem 7,167,225 Ordinary Shares at a redemption price of approximately $10.66 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $76.4 million (the “Redemption”). After the satisfaction of the Redemption, the balance in the Trust Account will be approximately $46.2 million and an aggregate of 8,753,608 Ordinary Shares will remain outstanding.
