PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING IN LIEU OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE COMPANY

To be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 11, 2026

This Proxy Statement Supplement (this “Supplement”) of SilverBox Corp IV (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) supplements the Proxy Statement, dated July 17, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”), with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company, which is scheduled to take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 (the “Meeting”). The information in this Supplement merely supplements and, to the extent applicable, amends the information in the Proxy Statement. This Supplement does not contain all of the information that is relevant to the Meeting or that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire Proxy Statement, as supplemented and amended by this Supplement, before voting on any of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting.

Capitalized terms that appear in this Supplement and are not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Proxy Statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT

Q:	*Why am I receiving this Supplement and the enclosed revised proxy card or voting instruction form? In what way do these materials amend the original Proxy Statement and proxy card?*

This Supplement and the enclosed revised proxy card (the “New Proxy Card”) or voting instruction form are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors (the “board”) for use at the Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. This Supplement, when read together with the Proxy Statement, summarizes the information that you need to make an informed decision on the proposals to be considered at the Meeting.

The Company is modifying Proposal No. 1 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) as it appears in the Proxy Statement in order to lengthen the duration of the proposed extension period (the “Extension Amendment”) under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to be presented for approval at the Meeting.

As reflected in the updated proxy materials, in place of requesting an extension from August 19, 2026 to December 19, 2026, as appears in the original Proxy Statement and proxy card that were distributed to the Company’s shareholders of record, the Company will seek, at the Meeting, an extension from August 19, 2026 to April 15, 2027 (the “Extension” and such date, the “Extended Date”), under the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Other than the above-described lengthening of the proposed extension period under the Articles, the revised proxy materials do not alter any other aspects of any of the proposals to be presented to the Meeting. Specifically, Proposal Nos. 2 and 3 are not modified in any manner by this Supplement.

The Company has also been advised by the Sponsor that, subject to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the Sponsor intends to convert 4,999,999 Class B ordinary shares into 4,999,999 Class A ordinary shares, on a one-to-one basis, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding (which will continue to be held by the Sponsor).

Q:	*What are the proposals that are modified by this Supplement that will be voted on at the Meeting?*

A:	Revised Proposal No. 1 that you are being asked to vote on at the Meeting, as modified, is as follows:

Proposal No. 1 — A proposal to amend our Articles, as set forth in Annex A to this Supplement, to extend the date by which we have to consummate our initial business combination from August 19, 2026 to April 15, 2027.

Q.	*Why are you asking for a longer extension in this Supplement under the Extension Amendment Proposal, and why should I vote in favor of such proposals?*

Our board believes that our shareholders will benefit from our consummating the Proposed Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment to extend the date by which we may complete an initial business combination. After publishing the Proxy Statement, our management considered the expected timing for the Proposed Business Combination and determined that we may need some time in excess of the extension to December 19, 2026 that was originally proposed in the Proxy Statement to complete the Proposed Business Combination. Consequently, in order to enable us to complete the Proposed Business Combination as efficiently as possible, without requiring potential additional shareholder meetings to approve extensions for the deadline for completing a business combination under the Articles, we are lengthening the extension that we seek under the proposed Extension Amendment to April 15, 2027 rather than the current August 19, 2026 deadline. Your vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal is required for us to implement such extension under the Extension Amendment.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal shareholders may elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO (including any shares of common stock issued in exchange thereof, the “public shares”), and which election we refer to as the “Election.” An Election can be made regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Public shareholders may make an Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date. Public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make an Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future, including the Proposed Business Combination, if applicable, and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event a proposed business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, if applicable, is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, at this time. We will seek approval of the Proposed Business Combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting pursuant to a separate proxy statement/prospectus. If the Extension Amendment is not approved, we may not be able to consummate the Proposed Business Combination before August 19, 2026. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension Amendment. In addition, if you elect to redeem your shares at this time in connection with the Extension, sufficient cash amounts may not remain in the Trust Account to permit the Company to satisfy a related closing condition that is set forth in the business combination agreement relating to the Proposed Business Combination. As a result, while Parataxis would have the right to waive any related closing condition in certain circumstances, the Proposed Business Combination may not be consummated if there is not a sufficient amount of cash in the Trust Account as a result of redemptions of our shares in connection with the Extension, even if our shareholders vote to approve the Extension.

Q.	*How do I vote?*

A.	If you are a holder of record of our ordinary shares, you may vote in person (including by virtual means as provided herein) at the Extraordinary General Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including by virtual means as provided herein), we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy. If your ordinary shares are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q:	*How do I change my vote?*

If you are a holder of record of our ordinary shares, you can revoke your proxy at any time before the Extraordinary General Meeting by (i) delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card prior to the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, (ii) granting a subsequent proxy online or (iii) voting in person or virtually at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting alone will not change your vote.

If your Company ordinary shares are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent and you wish to revoke your proxy, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or agent.

If you would like to change or revoke your prior vote on any proposal, please submit your votes before 11:59 pm ET August 10, 2026. In addition, shareholders who have already submitted a redemption request with respect to the shares held by them may reverse such request by contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Email: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com . If you would like to change or revoke your prior vote on any proposal, or reverse a redemption request, please refer to the Proxy Statement for additional information on how to do so.

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Except as specifically amended by this Supplement, all information in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and the Proxy Statement continues to be in full force and effect as originally filed. From and after the date of this Supplement, any references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as amended and supplemented by this Supplement. If you have already submitted a proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you need not take any further action. If you have submitted a proxy and wish to change your vote, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Extraordinary General Meeting by: delivering to Continental Stock & Transfer Company by mail a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked; signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date; voting again online; or voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting while the polls are open (note that attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy unless you vote again electronically at the Extraordinary General Meeting). Please note, however, that if your shares are held in street name by a broker or other nominee and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact the broker or nominee to revoke any prior voting instructions.

Some statements contained in this Supplement are forward-looking in nature. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.
