| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 16, 2024, Papaya Growth Opportunity Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) for an additional one (1) month each time, from February 19, 2024 to January 19, 2025; and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated January 13, 2022, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period for an additional one (1) month each time, from February 19, 2024 to January 19, 2025 by depositing into the Company’s trust account for each one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $30,000 and (b) $0.0225 for each then-outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) after giving effect to any redemptions (the “IMTA Amendment”).
The Charter Amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 16, 2024, and in connection therewith, the Company entered into the IMTA Amendment to extend the term of the IMTA.
On February 16, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to Papaya Growth Opportunity I Sponsor, LLC (the “Lender”), the Company’s sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Lender agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 million. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company does not consummate a business combination, it may use a portion of any funds held outside the trust account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the trust account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. No portion of the amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which would have been permissible as described in the prospectus filed in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering.
The foregoing descriptions of the Charter Amendment, the IMTA Amendment and the Promissory Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the approval and implementation of the Charter Amendment, the holders of 1,592,678 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.9438 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $17,430,006. Following such redemptions, 710,529 Public Shares remain outstanding.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
Following the Special Meeting, Papaya Growth Opportunity I Sponsor, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), as the holders of 100% of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, determined to convert all of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock to shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis (collectively, the “Class B Conversion”). Notwithstanding the Class B Conversion, the Sponsor, as well as the Company’s officers and directors, will be not entitled to receive any funds held in the trust account with respect to any shares of Class A common stock issued to such holders as a result of the Class B Conversion, and no additional amounts will be deposited into the trust account in respect of shares of Class A common stock held by the Sponsor.
