Melar Acquisition Corp. I shareholders voted to approve the proposed business combination with Everli Global Inc. at an extraordinary general meeting held on October 22, 2026. The vote covers the merger and all related proposals, clearing a key hurdle for the transaction to proceed.
The special purpose acquisition company, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker MACI, expects the deal to close promptly once remaining conditions are satisfied or waived. Following the closing, the combined entity will operate as Everli Global Holdings Inc., with Class A common stock and warrants trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols EVRL and EVRLW, respectively. Melar will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose the full voting results.
Everli operates as an e-grocery technology and fulfillment platform in Italy. The company connects consumers with grocery retailers through a digital marketplace that manages the logistics chain from online ordering to in-store picking and last-mile delivery. This model allows retailers to offer online shopping without adding new infrastructure, staffing, or operational changes. Everli relies on exclusive partnerships with major Italian grocery chains and a network of trained shoppers to handle order accuracy and freshness. The company also cites a union-endorsed delivery framework as part of its labor practices.
Melar Acquisition Corp. I is sponsored by Melar Acquisition Sponsor I LLC and incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Its stated purpose is to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or similar business combination. The merger agreement was originally dated July 30, 2025, with amendments on October 2, 2025, and December 8, 2025.
The press release notes that forward-looking statements regarding the business combination are subject to risks that could cause actual results to differ from expectations. These factors include the potential failure to meet closing conditions, legal proceedings against the parties, and the ability to maintain a Nasdaq listing for the new company. Other cited risks involve competition, employee retention, and the possibility that additional financing may not be raised on favorable terms or at all. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these projections, as past performance by management is not a guarantee of future results.
