 Item 8.01. Other Events.

  

 As
previously announced, Melar Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “ Company ”), has called and
provided a notice of an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “ Meeting ”)
to be held on June 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, to consider and vote upon the matters described in the Company’s definitive
proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on May 15, 2026 (as may be amended, the
“ Proxy Statement ”). Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

  

 The
Company plans to continue to solicit proxies from shareholders during the period prior to the Meeting. Only the holders of the Company’s
Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on May 11, 2026, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

  

 In
connection with the solicitation, the Company is providing its shareholders and other interested parties with an update to the terms of
the Extension, which is an increase in the Monthly Amount that Melar Acquisition Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“ Sponsor ”), or its designees will contribute to the Trust Account from “the lesser of (x) $40,000 or (y) $0.02
for each Public Share that is not redeemed” to “the lesser of (x) $80,000 or (y) $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed.”

  

 Additional
information regarding the foregoing update to the terms of the Extension is set forth below.

  

 Increase
in Monthly Amount

  

 The
Proxy Statement provides that the Monthly Amount that the Sponsor or its designee will contribute to the Trust Account in connection
with the Extension will be equal to the lesser of (x) $40,000 or (y) $0.02 for each Public Share that is not redeemed. It has been agreed
that the maximum Monthly Amount will be increased from $40,000 to $80,000 while retaining the $0.02 for each Public Share that is not
redeemed. Accordingly, the amount contributed per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after redemptions
in connection with the Extension and the length of the Extension period that will be needed to complete an initial business combination.
If more than 4,000,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension, then the amount paid per share
will be reduced proportionately. For example, if the Company completes an initial business combination on September 20, 2026, which would
represent three calendar months, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of the Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the
Extension, then the aggregate amount contributed per share will be approximately $0.015 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution
to the Trust Account being $240,000. However, if 12,000,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 4,000,000 Public Shares remain outstanding
after redemptions in connection with the Extension, then the amount contributed per share for such three-month period will be approximately
$0.06 per share.

charge from the sources indicated above.

  

 No Offer or Solicitation

Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Extension
Amendment Proposal. This communication shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities,
