Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 8, 2026, Melar Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) announced that an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) will be held on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at the office of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11^th Floor, New York, New York 10105 or on such other date and at such other place to which the Special Meeting may be adjourned. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association currently in effect, and as amended (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), shareholders seeking to bring business before the Special Meeting must deliver such proposals to the Company at: Melar Acquisition Corp. I, 143 West 72nd Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10023, no later than May 14, 2026. Any shareholder proposal must also comply with the requirements of the law of the Cayman Islands, the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Amended and Restated Charter. Under the Amended and Restated Charter and the law of the Cayman Islands, no business other than as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting to be filed with the SEC may be transacted at the Special Meeting.

The Special Meeting is to be held, in part, to satisfy the annual meeting requirement pursuant to Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Rule”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Pursuant to the Rule, the Company is required to hold its first annual meeting of shareholders on or prior to December 31, 2026. Because the Special Meeting does not technically constitute an “annual general meeting” under Cayman Islands law, the terms of the Company’s Class I directors do not expire at the Special Meeting.
