• Proposal to Reduce Extension Contributions

  Shareholders will vote on reducing the monthly contribution for business combination deadline extensions from $125,000 to the lesser of $50,000 or $0.033 per public share.

• Sponsor's Funding Ultimatum

  The sponsor has advised it will not fund monthly contributions exceeding $50,000, making this amendment critical for the company to exercise its extension rights and avoid liquidation.

This definitive proxy statement confirms the terms of a critical shareholder vote for Ribbon Acquisition Corp. The company is seeking approval to significantly reduce the monthly contributions required from its sponsor for extensions to its business combination deadline. This reduction, from $125,000 to a maximum of $50,000 per month, is necessitated by the sponsor's stated unwillingness to fund at the higher rate. If shareholders do not approve this amendment, the SPAC faces the risk of being unable to extend its deadline and potentially liquidating by January 16, 2027, which would terminate its pending business combination with DRC Medicine Ltd. While approval would allow the SPAC to continue seeking a merger, it comes at the cost of reduced funds accumulating in the trust account, which could negatively impact the per-share redemption value for public shareholders. Investors should closely monitor the outcome of the March 12, 2026, Special Meeting and the ongoing progress of the DRC Medicine Ltd. merger.
