Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously announced, on September 14, 2022, Maxpro Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Maxpro”), a Delaware corporation, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Maxpro, Apollomics Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Apollomics”), and Project Max SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollomics.
On January 10, 2023, Maxpro issued a press release announcing that its sponsor, MP One Investment LLC (the “Sponsor”), has requested that Maxpro extend the date by which Maxpro has to consummate a business combination from January 13, 2023 to April 13, 2023 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the second of two three-month extensions permitted under Maxpro’s governing documents. In connection with the Extension and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and Apollomics have notified Maxpro that they intend to bear the cost of the Extension in the aggregate amount of $1,035,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) and such funds will be deposited into Maxpro’s trust account on or before January 13, 2023. The Extension provides Maxpro with additional time to complete the previously announced initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Apollomics.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Important Additional Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It
As previously disclosed, Apollomics has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC, which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and certain other related documents, which will be both the proxy statement to be distributed to holders of shares of Maxpro’s common stock in connection with Maxpro’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Maxpro’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer and sale of the securities of Apollomics to be issued in the Business Combination. Maxpro’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and, when available, the definitive proxy statement and documents incorporated by reference therein filed in connection with the Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about Apollomics, Maxpro and the Business Combination. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and stockholders of Maxpro are urged to carefully read the entire Registration Statement and proxy statement/prospectus, when they become available, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the Business Combination. The documents filed by Maxpro with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Maxpro Capital Acquisition Corp., 5/F-4, No. 89, Songren Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 11073, Attention: Secretary; telephone: +886 2 7713 7952.

A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Maxpro will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus for the Business Combination when available at www.sec.gov.
