Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. VI: SPAC deal update (Item 8.01)
Item 8.01 is the catch-all “other events” category, used when a company wants to disclose something material that doesn’t fit neatly into the SEC’s other checkboxes. Kensington, a Cayman Islands SPAC, used it to update investors on its pending business combination with Nth Cycle, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The underlying Business Combination Agreement was signed July 21, 2026, involving Kensington, Nth Cycle, two merger subsidiaries (Homeland Merger Sub, Inc. and Homeland Merger Sub II, LLC), and Kensington Capital Sponsor VI LLC.
The news in this particular filing: on August 7, 2026, Kensington and Nth Cycle issued a joint press release announcing they had confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-4 to the SEC that same day. A definitive proxy statement/prospectus will follow once the registration statement is public and declared effective, at which point Kensington shareholders will vote on the deal.
SideChannel, Inc.: a board resignation (Item 5.02)
Item 5.02 covers changes to a company’s leadership, officers, or board. SideChannel disclosed that Robert Brown resigned from its Board of Directors effective August 2, 2026. The filing states the resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices, a standard disclosure line required when directors depart.
Following the resignation, SideChannel’s board has four sitting directors against an authorized size of seven, leaving three vacancies.
Covenant Logistics Group: severance agreements amended (Item 5.02)
Covenant Logistics also filed under Item 5.02, but for a compensatory arrangement rather than a departure. On August 7, 2026, the Compensation Committee amended severance agreements with four executives: M. Paul Bunn, James “Tripp” Grant, Dustin Koehl, and Joey Ballard.
The amendment adds a new benefit that didn’t previously exist. If one of these executives gives at least 18 months’ written notice that they’re considering retirement or voluntary separation, and then follows through, they become eligible for:
- Six months of salary continuation
- Six months of COBRA reimbursement
Both benefits are subject to employment, release, and other customary conditions, including a non-compete running 12 months past separation. Before this amendment, the severance agreements provided no benefits for retirement or voluntary separation at all. The provisions covering change-in-control and other qualifying severance events were left unchanged.
ServisFirst Bancshares: updated investor presentation (Item 7.01)
Item 7.01 is Regulation FD disclosure, used when a company shares information broadly to avoid selectively tipping off certain investors. ServisFirst filed an updated investor presentation incorporating current-quarter financial information, attached as Exhibit 99.1. The filing notes the material is being furnished, not filed, meaning it won’t be automatically incorporated into future securities registration statements unless specifically referenced. The bank said the same presentation would also be posted to the Investor Relations section of its website.
NexMetals Mining Corp.: mineral resource technical report (Item 7.01)
NexMetals also used Item 7.01 to announce a news release, this one tied to an independent technical report supporting a 2026 mineral resource estimate for its Selkirk Project in Botswana. The report was prepared under NI 43-101, the Canadian standard for disclosure of mineral project data, and has been filed under the company’s profile on SEDAR+, Canada’s securities filing system, since NexMetals is also a reporting issuer in Canada.
The filing flags that NI 43-101 terminology like “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources doesn’t map exactly onto the SEC’s own mining disclosure framework, Regulation S-K 1300, adopted in 2018. NexMetals said it plans to file a separate, S-K 1300-compliant technical report in a future 8-K.
