This Schedule 13D discloses for the first time that the sponsor entities and top executives — CEO Thomas F. Karam and CFO Jeffrey Zajkowski — collectively control 21.6% of Karbon Capital Partners, a blank-check company. The filing details the acquisition of 8.6 million Class B shares and 890,000 private placement units for $8.9 million, along with lock-up agreements and voting commitments tied to a future business combination.
