Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously announced, Blockchain Coinvestors Acquisition Corp. I (“BCSA”) has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to occur on May 9, 2024 (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, shareholders will vote whether to extend the date by which BCSA must consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from May 15, 2024 to November 15, 2024 (the “Extension”). In connection with the Meeting and the Extension Proposal, holders of BCSA’s Class A ordinary shares (“Class A Shares”) that BCSA issued and sold as part of units in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) will have the right to redeem those shares.

In connection with the Meeting, BCSA and its Sponsor, Blockchain Coinvestors Acquisition Sponsors I LLC (the “Sponsor”), intend to enter into one or more non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated investors. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, each investor would agree not to redeem some number of Public Shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Meeting, and in in exchange for that commitment, the Sponsor would agree to transfer Class A Shares of BCSA to that investor upon BCSA’s consummation of an initial business combination, so long as the investor continues to hold the Non-Redeemed Shares through the Meeting and the Extension is approved. BCSA anticipates that the Sponsor will agree to transfer 30,000 Class A Shares for every 150,000 Non-Redeemed Shares.

BCSA does not expect the Non-Redemption Agreements to increase the likelihood that the shareholders approve the Extension Proposal, or any of the other matters to be voted upon, but does expect that they would cause the amount of funds that remain in BCSA’s trust account following the Meeting to be higher than would otherwise be the case.

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption and Share Transfer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Participants in the Solicitation

BCSA and its directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees may, under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies of BCSA’s shareholders in favor of the approval of the Extension Proposal to be voted upon at the Meeting. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding these proposals, as well as the names, affiliations and interests of BCSA’s directors and officers in the definitive proxy statement dated May 1, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”), which may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to BCSA’s corporate secretary by mail at PO Box 1093, Boundary Hall, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman, KY1-1102, Cayman Islands or by phone at (345) 814-5726.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.
