Iris Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date because the Company requires additional time to finalize its financial statements, other disclosures and reviews.

The Company is working diligently to file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible; however, as a result of the circumstances described above, the Company is unable to file the Form 10-Q by the required due date of August 14, 2024 without unreasonable effort and expense.
