Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 9, 2024, Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”), announced that the extraordinary general meeting of the stockholders of the Company originally scheduled for December 10, 2024 (the “Meeting”) has been postponed to 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on December 17, 2024. The Company has previously called and provided a notice of the Meeting to consider and vote upon the matters described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 19, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve, as a special resolution, the amendment of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination from December 17, 2024 to December 17, 2025 (such date, the “Extended Date”), and, if the Board of Directors elects to wind up the Company before the Extended Date, to permit the Company to cease operations except for the purpose of winding up. Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The record date for the stockholders to vote at the Meeting remains the close of business on November 8, 2024 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted may, but are not obligated to, vote again.

You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company at Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I, Century Yard, Cricket Square, Elgin Avenue, P.O. Box 1111, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1102, Cayman Islands, so that it is received prior to the Meeting or by attending the Meeting in person and voting (including by virtual means as provided above). You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by the Company prior to the Meeting.

As a result of this change, the Meeting will now be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 17, 2024, at the offices of Allen Overy Shearman Sterling LLP, located at 800 Capitol Street, Suite 2200, Houston, Texas 77002 and virtually via the Internet at https://www.cstproxy.com/investcorpeu1spac/egm2024. If you do not have Internet capabilities, you can listen to the Meeting by phone dialing +1 800-450-7155 (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada or +1 857-999-9155 (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada. When prompted enter the pin number 6120876#. This option is listen-only, and you will not be able to vote or enter questions during the Meeting if you choose to participate telephonically. Also as a result of this change, the date and time by which stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights must tender their public shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem their public shares for cash to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is being extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 13, 2024.

Management of the Company has been informed by Europe Acquisition Holdings Limited, our Sponsor, that it is contemplating a transaction whereby it may transfer a majority of its interest in the Company’s securities to a new sponsor. However, such a transaction has not been definitively agreed to at this time. The Company will publicly disclose any such transaction as soon as possible after it is agreed to.
