Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 29, 2024, Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved, among others, the Company to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) by the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, or, in the event that the Company extended ( on a monthly basis), the time to complete the business combination for up to 24-month from the closing of the IPO (each of such monthly extensions, the “Monthly Extension”) but has not completed the business combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO. Upon the shareholders’ approval, on July 1, 2024, the Company and the Trustee entered into the amendment to the Trust Agreement. To effectuate each Monthly Extension, the Company will deposit the monthly extension fee in the amount of $100,000 for all remaining public share in the Trust Account (the “Monthly Extension Payment”).
A copy of the amendment to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Amendment”) is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Trust Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Trust Amendment.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On or about July 1, 2024, an aggregate of $100,000 of the Monthly Extension Payment was deposited into the Trust Account for the public shareholders, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from June 30, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the first of the twelve Monthly Extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $100,000 (the “Note”) to Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”).
The Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Company’s business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). The following shall constitute an event of default: (i) a failure to pay the principal within five business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action, (iii) the breach of the Company’s obligations thereunder; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceedings against the Company; and (vi) any unlawfulness and invalidity in connection with the performance of the obligations thereunder, in which case the Note may be accelerated.
The payees of the Note, the Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Share”), one-half of one warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a business combination, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File No: 333- 272605), by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information disclosed under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required herein.

Such obligation to repurchase Shares is subject to the completion of the proposed Business Combination to which it relates.”
“48.4 At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination.”
