Melar Acquisition Corp. I and Everli Announce Submission of Draft Registration Statement to SEC for Proposed Business Combination
Melar Acquisition Corp, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), together with Everli Global Inc. (“Everli”), a leading e-grocery platform in Italy, today announced a significant development in their previously announced proposed business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”). Melar has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-4 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The confidential submission of the Form S-4 represents a key procedural step toward the potential completion of the business combination, which was initially announced on July 31, 2025. The Form S-4, once reviewed and declared effective by the SEC, will include a combined proxy statement and prospectus. This document is expected to provide detailed information about the Proposed Transaction, including strategic rationale, financial considerations, and potential benefits to shareholders of both companies.
If the Proposed Transaction proceeds as planned, Everli is anticipated to become a publicly traded company, providing it with increased access to U.S. capital markets and enhancing its ability to support long-term growth initiatives in the rapidly expanding e-grocery sector. Everli, headquartered in Italy, has established itself as a major player in online grocery delivery, leveraging technology to optimize logistics and improve the customer experience. Its integration with Melar’s SPAC structure could accelerate its global expansion and innovation in digital grocery services.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to several key conditions, including:
- Approval by Melar’s shareholders in accordance with U.S. securities regulations,
- Satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and
- Any regulatory or legal approvals that may be required.
It is important to note that while Melar and Everli have made significant progress toward this potential business combination, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Transaction will ultimately be consummated. Additionally, the timing and specific terms of the transaction are subject to change, contingent upon SEC review, shareholder approvals, and other standard closing conditions.
This development follows a growing trend of European e-grocery companies seeking U.S. public market listings through SPAC transactions, reflecting investor interest in technology-driven, sustainable, and convenient food delivery solutions. Analysts have cited Everli’s robust market position, operational efficiency, and strong technology platform as key factors that could enhance shareholder value and position the company for long-term success in the competitive e-grocery landscape.
Melar Acquisition Corp. I and Everli remain committed to providing transparent updates to shareholders and the public as the Proposed Transaction progresses. The confidential submission of the Form S-4 is an important milestone in this journey, marking a step closer to potentially unlocking new growth opportunities for Everli and expanding its presence in international markets.
