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.
