**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2026, Patriot Acquisition Corp. (the "<u>Company</u>") consummated its initial public offering ("<u>IPO</u>"), which consisted of 16,000,000 units (the "<u>Units</u>"). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value ("<u>Class A Ordinary Share</u>") and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a "<u>Warrant</u>"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $160,000,000. Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, Inc. ("<u>KBW</u>"), the underwriter, was granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Units offered by the Company to cover over-allotments, if any (the "<u>Over-Allotment Option</u>").

As previously disclosed, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the private placement warrants purchase agreements with Patriot Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the "<u>Sponsor</u>") and KBW, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,200,000 Warrants (the "<u>Private Placement Warrants</u>") to the Sponsor and KBW at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (the "<u>Private Placement</u>"). The Private Placement Warrants (and underlying securities) are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2026 (File No. 333-294090). No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Subsequently, on May 20, 2026, KBW partially exercised the Over-Allotment Option for 1,500,000 Units. The closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units (the "<u>Over-Allotment Option Units</u>") occurred on May 21, 2026. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 1,500,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit generated total gross proceeds of $15,000,000. On May 21, 2026, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 75,000 Private Placement Warrants to KBW, generating gross proceeds of $75,000.

The Private Placement Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

On May 21, 2026, an additional $15,075,000 consisting of the net proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units and the additional Private Placement Warrants was placed in the trust account, resulting in a total of $175,875,000 held in the trust account.

On May 21, 2026, the Company issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Patriot Acquisition Corp. Announces Closing of Partial Exercise of Over-Allotment Option in Connection with its Initial Public Offering**

**Radnor, PA, May 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ --** Patriot Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") announced today

that it closed the sale of an additional 1,500,000 units of the Company, pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option granted in connection with the Company's initial public offering (together with the over-allotment closing, the "Offering"), at the price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $15,000,000.

After giving effect to this partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the total number of units sold in the Offering increased to 17,500,000 units, resulting in total gross proceeds of $175,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

The Company's units began trading on May 15, 2026 on the Nasdaq Global Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "PTACU." Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Once the securities constituting the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "PTAC" and "PTACW," respectively.

The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of completing a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company currently intends to concentrate its efforts in identifying businesses in the financial industry group (FIG Sector), with a focus on fee-based fintech, specialty finance and digital banking companies. However, it may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry or at any stage of its corporate evolution.

The Company's management team is led by Jack Kopnisky, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Thomas Cestare, its Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman. The Board also includes James Barresi, Robert Jones, Michael Taff, and Joseph V. Topper, Jr.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, *A Stifel Company*, acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.

A registration statement relating to the securities was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 13, 2026. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

No assurance can be given that the net proceeds of the offering will be used as indicated.
