Item 8.01 Other Events

At a meeting of the board of directors (the "Board") of Gores Holdings IX, Inc. (the "Company") held on November 22, 2024, the Board determined that the Company will not be able to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses by December 6, 2024 (the "Termination Date"), as required by the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter"). As a result, and pursuant to the Charter, the Company will: (i) as of the Termination Date, cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, redeem 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Public Shares") in consideration of a per-shareprice, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in a U.S. based trust account maintained by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., acting as trustee, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto, and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following the redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The Company expects to effect the redemption on or around December 6, 2024. For illustrative purposes, based on the balance of the trust account as of October 31, 2024, the estimated per-shareredemption price would be approximately $10.12. The Company's warrants will expire worthless.
