Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. Business Combination Agreement On August 6, 2025 (the “Execution Date”), SilverBox Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC”), Parataxis Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), PTX Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), PTX Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), Parataxis Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), SilverBox Sponsor IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the SPAC Shareholders (the “SPAC Representative”), and Edward Chin, solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the Company Holders (the “Seller Representative”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement” and, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC continuing as the surviving company (the “SPAC Merger”), and with each SPAC Shareholder receiving one share of Pubco Class A common stock (“Pubco Class A Stock”) for each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held by such shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers,” and the effective time of the Mergers, the “Effective Time”), and with the Company Holders receiving shares of Pubco Class A Stock (other than the Key Company Holder (as defined below) who will receive shares of Pubco Class C common stock (“Pubco Class C Stock and together with the Pubco Class A Stock, “Pubco Stock”) in exchange for their Company Units (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. As a result of the Mergers, SPAC and the Company will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with applicable law. At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Time, SPAC will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). Consideration As consideration for the Company Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each common unit of membership in the Company (“Company Common Unit”), other than Company Common Units held by Edward Chin (the “Key Company Holder”), will be converted into the right to receive, in exchange for such Company Common Unit, a number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) multiplied by (B) one Company Unit, (ii) each non-voting preferred unit of the Company (“Company Preferred Unit,” and together with the Company Common Units, the “Company Units”) will be converted into the right to receive, in exchange for such Company Preferred Unit, a number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the product of one Company Preferred Unit multiplied by 1.30 plus (B) the Preferred Holder Pro Rata Share of any Adjustment Shares, and (iii) each Company Common Unit held by the Key Company Holder as of immediately prior the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in exchange for such Company Common Unit, a number of shares of Pubco Class C Stock equal to (A) one Company Common Unit multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each Company Common Unit (including Company Common Units held by the Key Company Holder) will be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of any Earnout Shares (as defined below), and each Company Preferred Unit will be entitled to receive additional shares of Pubco Class A Stock to account for certain increases, if any, in the price of Bitcoin between the time of purchase of the Purchased Bitcoin and the third business day prior to the date (the “Closing Date”) of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in each case, as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. The “Exchange Ratio” is the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Unit Price by $10.00, the “Per Unit Price” is an amount equal to (x) the sum of $100,000,000, plus the gross cash proceeds of the Initial Financing Transactions (as defined below), plus the gross cash proceeds of any Additional Financing Transactions (as defined below) of the Company prior to the Closing, divided by (y) the total number of issued and outstanding Company Units, after treating all outstanding in-the-money convertible securities of the Company as fully vested and exercised, exchanged or converted as of the Effective Time, but excluding any Company Units owned by the Company in treasury or by any subsidiary of the Company and the “Adjustment Shares” means a number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock equal to (X) the product of (A) (I) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Closing Bitcoin Price by (ii) the Signing Bitcoin Price, (II) minus 1, multiplied by (B) the Preferred Equity Investment Gross Cash Proceeds divided by (Y) $10.00; provided, that the amount calculated in (A) of the foregoing shall not be less than zero. As additional consideration, Company Holders of Common Units also have the potential to receive up to 7,500,000 additional shares of Pubco Class A Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) (along with any Earnings thereon) contingent upon the Pubco Class A Stock meeting certain share price targets during the 5-year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”). The Earnout Shares will be issued by Pubco into an escrow account at or prior to the Closing and released in accordance with the following: Two-thirds (2/3) of the Earnout Shares will be released if the VWAP of the Pubco Class A Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period; and One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares will be released if the VWAP of the Pubco Class A Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earnout Period. All of the Earnout Shares will be accelerated and released if, during the Earnout Period, Pubco is subject to a change of control in which the implied consideration per share of Pubco Class A Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (a “Qualifying Change of Control”). In the event that the applicable share price targets are not met during the Earnout Period, the Company Holders will not be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares (along with any Earnings thereon). As consideration for the SPAC Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) all issued and outstanding SPAC Public Units will be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold (A) one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, which will be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Stock, and (B) one-third (1/3) of one SPAC Public Warrant, which will be converted into one third (1/3) of one warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Pubco Class A Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (a “Pubco Public Warrant”), (ii) all issued and outstanding SPAC Private Units shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold (A) one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, which will be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Stock, and (B) one-third (1/3) of one SPAC Private Warrant, which will be converted into one third (1/3) of one warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Pubco Class A Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (a “Pubco Private Warrant”), and (iii) each issued and outstanding SPAC Class B Ordinary Share shall be converted automatically into one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, which will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco Class A Stock. Also at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding SPAC Public Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each issued and outstanding SPAC Private Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined below), which was signed concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, up to 150,000 shares of Pubco Class A Stock to be issued to the Sponsor in the SPAC Merger (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will be deposited in an escrow account and released in the same proportions and upon achievement of the same share price targets (including in connection with a Qualifying Change of Control) as apply with respect to the Earnout Shares. Holders of shares of Pubco Class A Stock issued in the Mergers will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and to receive distributions in proportion to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Stock held by such holders. In addition, the shares of Pubco Class A Stock will be listed for trading and will be freely transferable, subject to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements (as described below) and any restrictions pursuant to applicable laws. Holders of shares of Pubco Class C Stock issued in the Company Merger, all of which immediately following the Closing will be held by an entity controlled by the Key Company Holder, will collectively have 80% of the voting power of all shares of capital stock of Pubco (including shares issued in the future) (such voting power, the “Class C Voting Power”) until such time as the Key Company Holder, including his permitted transferees (such as charitable trusts and estate planning vehicles), own less than 25% of their aggregate ownership as of immediately after the Closing (the “Sunset Date”), with the foregoing determination taking into account certain considerations to be more fully described in the A&R Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below). Upon the Sunset Date or upon certain transfers to third parties or certain disqualifying events (namely, removal from Pubco’s Executive Committee for cause or upon death of the Key Company Holder), the shares of Pubco Class C Stock will automatically convert into shares of Pubco Class A Stock. Each holder of a share of Pubco Class C Stock shall, prior to such conversion, be entitled to the Class C Voting Power for each share of Pubco Class C Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which Pubco stockholders are entitled to vote generally, including the election or removal of directors, and all matters on which holders of Pubco Class C Stock as a separate class are entitled to vote. Holders of shares of Pubco Class C Stock will be entitled to the same economic rights as the holders of shares of Pubco Class A Stock, including any rights to distributions and dividends. The shares of Pubco Class C Stock will not be listed or freely transferable.

In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the SEPA were made as of the execution date of the SEPA only and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties to each other in connection with the signing of the SEPA. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the SEPA.
