Item
1. Business.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on February 10, 2025, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting
a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. We may pursue an initial Business Combination in any business or industry.
To date, our efforts have been limited to (i) organizational activities, (ii) activities related to our Initial Public Offering, and
(iii) searching for and consummating a Business Combination, including the Blockfusion Business Combination (as described below). We
have generated no operating revenues to date, and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial
Business Combination.
Initial
Public Offering
Our
IPO Registration Statement became effective on June 12, 2025. On June 16, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000
Public Units, including 2,625,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists
of one Public Share and Right to receive one tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of our initial Business
Combination. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $201,250,000.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private
sale of an aggregate of 592,250 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor, BTIG and Roberts
& Ryan in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company
of $5,922,500. Of those 592,250 Private Placement Units, (i) the Sponsor purchased 391,000 Private Placement Units and (ii) BTIG
and Roberts & Ryan purchased 201,250 Private Placement Units The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical
to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
A
total of $201,250,000, comprised of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, was placed in the Trust
Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee.
It
is the job of our Sponsor and Management Team to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Management Team is led by (i) Ketan Seth,
our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and (ii) David Bauer, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, who have more than ten
years of deal making experience in the tech sector and data centers space. We must complete our initial Business Combination by (i) March
16, 2027, the end of our Combination Period, which is 21 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, (ii) such earlier liquidation
date as our Board may approve or (iii) such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles.
If our initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, our existence will terminate, and we will
distribute all amounts in the Trust Account as described elsewhere in this Report.
We
may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended
and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity
to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount
held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq
Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement.
If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from
Nasdaq.
Blockfusion
Business Combination
The
below subsection describes the material provisions of the Blockfusion BCA, but does not purport to describe all the terms thereof. This
summary of the Blockfusion BCA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Blockfusion BCA, a copy of which
is filed with the Report as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms
used in this subsection have the same meanings given to them in the Blockfusion BCA. Unless otherwise indicated, this Report does not
assume the Closing.

General
Description of the Blockfusion BCA
On
November 19, 2025, we entered into the Blockfusion BCA with (i) Blockfusion, (ii) Pubco and (iii) the Merger Subs. Pursuant to the Blockfusion
BCA and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) on or prior to the Closing (and the date and time of the Closing,
the “Closing Date”), the holders of Company Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Company
Preferred Stock”) shall convert all of their issued and outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock for shares of Company Series
A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Series A Shares”) and Company Series B Common Stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Company Series B Shares” and together with the Company Series A Shares, the “Company Common
Stock”), at the applicable conversion ratio (including any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends) as set forth in Blockfusion’s
certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Preferred Conversion”), (ii) and on the Closing Date, (A) SPAC Merger
Sub will merge with and into our Company, with our Company continuing as the surviving entity and, as a result of which, each of our
issued and outstanding securities immediately prior to the effective time of the SPAC Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall
automatically be cancelled in exchange for which our security holders shall receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, (B)
Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Blockfusion, with Blockfusion continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of which
each issued and outstanding security of Blockfusion immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for which the security holders of Blockfusion shall receive shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Common Stock”), with holders of Company Series B Shares receiving shares
of Pubco Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which will have the same economic rights as the Pubco Class A Shares (as
defined below), but will have the right to 20 votes per share (the “Pubco Class B Shares”) for such Company Class B Shares
and holders of Company Series A Shares receiving Pubco Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Pubco Class A Shares”)
for such Company Series A Shares. As a result of the Mergers and the other transactions of the Blockfusion Business Combination, our
Company and Blockfusion will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Blockfusion BCA, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.
Additionally,
at the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Company
Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) will be assumed by and become an option of Pubco (each, an “Assumed Option”)
containing the same terms, conditions, vesting and other provisions as are currently applicable to such Company Options, provided that
each Assumed Option will be exercisable for the number of Pubco Class A Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) multiplied
by the number of Company Class A Shares subject to the Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded down to
the nearest whole number, at an exercise price equal to the per share exercise price of the Company Option divided by the Exchange Ratio,
rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Additionally,
at the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised warrant to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”)
will be assumed by and become a warrant to purchase Pubco Class A Shares (each, an “Assumed Warrant”) containing the same
terms, conditions, vesting and other provisions as are currently applicable to such Company Warrants, provided that each Assumed Warrant
will be exercisable for the number of Pubco Class A Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Company Class A Shares
subject to the Company Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded up to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price
equal to the per share exercise price of the Company Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
Consideration
The
aggregate consideration to be delivered to the security holders of Blockfusion as of the Effective Time will be a number of newly issued
shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to Four Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($450,000,000) (the “Merger Consideration”),
with each holder of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stockholder”) receiving for each share of Company Common Stock
held (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion), a number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to (i) the Per Share Price
(as defined below), divided by (ii) the Blockfusion Redemption Price (as defined below and such ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”),
with holders of Company Series B Shares receiving shares of Pubco Class B Shares and holders of Company Series A Shares receiving Pubco
Class A Shares, divided by the Per Share Price at which each SPAC Public Share (as defined in the Blockfusion BCA) is redeemed in
the Redemptions (as defined below) (the “Blockfusion Redemption Price”).
The
“Per Share Price” is an amount equal to (a) the Merger Consideration divided by (b) the Fully-Diluted Company
Shares. The “Fully-Diluted Company Shares” means (a) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock issued and outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion), plus (b)
the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to, the exercise of Company Options that are issued
and outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, treating such outstanding and vested Company Options as having
been exercised in full (calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting), plus (c) the aggregate number of
shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to, the exercise of Company Warrants that are issued and outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time, treating such Company Warrants as having been exercised in full (calculated using the treasury
stock method of accounting).

Representations
and Warranties
The
Blockfusion BCA contains representations and warranties that are reasonably customary for similar transactions that are made by the parties
as of the date of the Blockfusion BCA, or other specified dates, solely for the benefit of certain of the parties to the Blockfusion
BCA, and in certain cases are subject to specified exceptions and materiality, Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), knowledge
and other qualifications contained in the Blockfusion BCA or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the
Blockfusion BCA. “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence,
change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon
the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate
the transactions contemplated by the Blockfusion BCA or the ancillary documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations
thereunder, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions.
No
Survival
The
representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Blockfusion BCA terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and
there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Blockfusion
BCA do not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements
will survive until fully performed.
Covenants
of the Parties
Each
party to the Blockfusion BCA has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and to cooperate fully with one another, to consummate
the Blockfusion Business Combination. The Blockfusion BCA also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties that apply
during the period between the signing of the Blockfusion BCA and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Blockfusion BCA
(the “Interim Period”), including (i) the provision of access to the applicable party’s properties, books and personnel;
(ii) the operation of the parties’ respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the current and timely filing
of our public filings; (iv) no insider trading; (v) notifications to the other parties of certain breaches, consent requirements
and other matters; (vi) obtaining third party and regulatory approvals; (vii) tax matters; (viii) further assurances; (ix) public announcements;
(x) confidentiality; and other covenants. The Blockfusion BCA also contains certain customary post-Closing covenants, including, without
limitation, in regard to (1) tax matters; (2) the maintenance of books and records; and (3) the indemnification of directors and officers.
Each
of our Company and Blockfusion will not solicit or enter into a competing alternative transaction, in accordance with customary terms
and provisions set forth in the Blockfusion BCA.
We
will not approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in
the Blockfusion BCA), or otherwise change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify our recommendation to our shareholders for approval
of the Blockfusion BCA and the Blockfusion Business Combination (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, however, that if
at any time prior to (but not after) obtaining the approval of our shareholders, our Board of Directors determines in good faith, in
response to an Intervening Event (as defined in the Blockfusion BCA) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure
to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, then the Board may make a Change in
Recommendation, provided that we deliver, pursuant to procedures set forth in the Blockfusion BCA, written notice advising Blockfusion
that our Board of Directors proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Board’s determination.
If requested by Blockfusion, we will use our reasonable best efforts to engage in good faith negotiations with Blockfusion to make adjustments
in the terms and conditions of the Blockfusion BCA that obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation.

Blockfusion
will deliver to us financial statements of Pubco and Blockfusion audited by a PCAOB-qualified auditor in accordance with PCAOB auditing
standards, accompanied by an unqualified opinion of the auditor thereon (collectively, the “Audited Financials”), as soon
as reasonably practicable after the date of the Blockfusion BCA, but no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the Blockfusion
BCA (the “Audit Delivery Date”). In addition, Blockfusion and Pubco will deliver to us unaudited monthly and quarterly financial
information through the Closing Date and Pubco will deliver to us Pubco’s interim financial statements for such periods as required
by applicable law or SEC guidance to be included in the Blockfusion Registration Statement.
Our
Company, Blockfusion and Pubco will, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Blockfusion BCA, prepare and file with the SEC,
the Blockfusion Registration Statement in connection with the registration under the Securities Act, of the securities of Pubco to be
issued pursuant to the Blockfusion Business Combination, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the solicitation of proxies
from our shareholders to approve the Blockfusion BCA, the Blockfusion Business Combination and related matters at an extraordinary general
meeting of our shareholders, and providing our Public Shareholders with an opportunity to request redemption of their Public Shares in
connection with the Blockfusion Business Combination, as required by our Amended and Restated Articles and our Initial Public Offering
prospectus (the “Redemptions”).
As
promptly as practicable after the Blockfusion Registration Statement has become effective and been distributed by Pubco (and in all cases
within ten (10) days following such date), Blockfusion will solicit a written consent of its stockholders in order to obtain the requisite
vote of its stockholders to approve the Blockfusion BCA and each of the ancillary documents to which Blockfusion is or is required to
be a party or bound and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Company Stockholder Approval”) and
to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval, including enforcing the Company Support
Agreements (as defined below). At our request, Blockfusion shall make the members of its management reasonably available to participate
in management presentations, “road shows,” rating agency presentations, meetings with financing sources and similar events
in connection with obtaining the approval of our shareholders, any “share recycling” efforts by us and the obtaining of any
debt or equity financing, ratings or governmental or other third-party approvals.
The
parties shall take all action necessary so that, effective at the Closing, the post-Closing board of directors of Pubco (the “Post-Closing
Board”) will consist of seven (7) individuals, two (2) of whose members will be designated by our Company (at least one (1) of
whom shall be an independent director in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq), four (4) of whose members will be designated by
Blockfusion (at least two (2) of whom shall be an independent director in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq), and one (1) additional
member (who shall be an independent director in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq) to be mutually agreed upon by our Company
and Blockfusion prior to the Closing. The parties shall also take all action necessary so that the individuals serving as the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer (or such equivalent role whose duties include those of the principal accounting officer), respectively,
of Pubco immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of Blockfusion immediately prior to
the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, Blockfusion desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case,
such other person(s) identified by Blockfusion shall serve in such role or roles).
During
the Interim Period, our Company and Blockfusion shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into written agreements for Transaction Financings
(as defined below) with aggregate proceeds of at least $100 million (on such terms and structuring and using such strategy, placement
agents and approach, as our Company and Blockfusion shall mutually agree). “Transaction Financing” means a capital raising
transaction in connection with the Blockfusion Business Combination structured as one or a combination of common equity, preferred equity,
convertible equity or debt, non-redemption or backstop arrangements with respect to the Trust Account, a committed equity facility, debt
facility, and/or other sources of cash or cash equivalents, in each case, whether such investment is into our Company, Blockfusion or
Pubco.

obligations of the parties to consummate the Blockfusion Business Combination are subject to various conditions, including the following

Our
Management Team and Board of Directors
The
past performance of our Management Team or our Board is not a guarantee of success with respect to any Business Combination we may consummate,
including the Blockfusion Business Combination. Further, in recent years, a number of target businesses have underperformed financially
post-Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of our Management Teams’ or our Board’s performance
as indicative of our future performance.
Prior
SPAC Experience
Below
are the SPAC Business Combinations in which members of our Management Team and Board have participated, along with certain other information:
● Swiftmerge
Acquisition Corp. From December 14, 2021 to December 13, 2024, General Clark our Non-Executive Chairman, served as a director
of Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (“Swiftmerge”), a SPAC. On December 13, 2024 Swiftmerge and AleAnna Energy LLC (“AleAnna
Energy”), an energy company in Italy, consummated a Business Combination. Following the closing, AleAnna was organized in an “up-C”

Our
Sponsor
Our
Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company, which was recently formed in February 2025 to invest in our Company. Although our Sponsor
is permitted to undertake any activities permitted under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and other applicable law, our Sponsor’s
business is focused on investing in us. BHM is the managing member of our Sponsor, and Ketan Seth is the managing member of BHM. Mr.
Seth, as the managing member of BHM, holds voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held of record by the Sponsor.
In
addition, each of Ketan Seth, our Chief Executive Officer, and David Bauer, our Chief Financial Officer, have received an indirect interest
in 75,000 Founder Shares, and each of General (Ret.) Wesley Clark, Dario Dino Ferrari, Nadim Qureshi and Dr. Kenneth Moritsugu, our independent
directors, have received an indirect interest in 50,000 Founder Shares, and each of Glenn Hill, Mina Janeska and Francisco de Borbon
Graf von Hardenberg, our special advisors, have received an indirect interest in 25,000 Founder Shares, through membership interests
in BHM, which will transfer at the consummation of an initial Business Combination. However, only Mr. Seth, as the managing member of
BHM, has the right to control the Sponsor or participate in any decision regarding the disposal of any security held by the Sponsor,
or otherwise. Dario Dino Ferrari has an indirect economic interest in BHM through his ownership of 10,000 Class B Units in BHM, representing
Private Placement Units purchased by him for $100,000. Our Sponsor also has assigned 300,000 Founder Shares to Alberto Pontonio, a registered
broker-dealer associated with Roberts & Ryan, co-manager of the Initial Public Offering. Other than Mr. Seth and our other directors
and officers, none of the other members of our Sponsor will participate in our Company’s activities. Assuming our independent directors,
our directors and officers will hold approximately 6.0% of the Sponsor membership interests reflecting indirect interests in the Founder
Shares and approximately 2.7% of the Sponsor membership interests reflecting indirect interests in the Private Placement Units.

Because
our Sponsor acquired the Founder Shares at a nominal price of $0.004 per share, our Public Shareholders incurred immediate and material
dilution upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Further, the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the conversion
of the Founder Shares may result in material dilution to our Public Shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of our Founder
Shares that may result in an issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis upon conversion. Additionally,
our Public Shareholders may experience dilution from the conversion of the 592,250 Private Placement Rights converting into 59,225 Class
A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Further, our Public Shareholders may experience material dilution
if the $1,500,000 in Working Capital Loans is fully advanced by the Sponsor and the Sponsor elects to convert the Working Capital Loans
into Private Placement-equivalent units at $10.00 per unit, resulting in the Sponsor receiving an additional 150,000 units of the
post-combination company.
The
Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of our initial Business Combination, or at any time
prior thereto at the option of the holder thereof, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided herein. In the case
that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold
in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of our initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares
shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares
agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A
Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis,
approximately 26% of the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus all Class
A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial Business Combination (excluding
any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any Private
Placement-equivalent units issued to our Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans made to us). Our
Public Shareholders may incur material dilution due to such anti-dilution adjustments that result in the issuance of Class A Ordinary
Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis upon conversion.
If
we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution. This
dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the Founder Shares result in the issuance of Class A Ordinary
Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis upon conversion of the Founder Shares at the time of our initial Business Combination.
In
addition, in order to facilitate our initial Business Combination as determined by our Sponsor in its sole discretion, our Sponsor may
surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our Founder Shares, Private Placement Units or any of our other securities, including for
no consideration, as well as subject any such securities to earn-outs or other restrictions, or otherwise amend the terms of any such
securities or enter into any other arrangements with respect to any such securities. We may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion
of the Class B Ordinary Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial Business Combination, as a result of the
anti-dilution provisions as set forth therein.
Pursuant
to the Letter Agreement, each of our Sponsor, directors and officers and a certain advisor has agreed lock-up and restrictions on their
ability to transfer, assign, or sell the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities). Further, the
Sponsor membership interests (including the interests held by the non-managing members) are locked up and not transferable because the
Letter Agreement prohibits indirect transfers.
While
there is no current intention to do so, and the members of our Management Team and Sponsor have not done so with any previously formed
SPACs, we may approve an amendment or waiver of the Letter Agreement that would allow the Sponsor to directly, or members of our Sponsor
to indirectly, transfer Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares or membership interests in our Sponsor in a transaction in which
the Sponsor removes itself as our Sponsor before identifying a Business Combination. As a result, there is a risk that our Sponsor and
our officers and directors may divest their ownership or economic interests in us or in our Sponsor, which would likely result in our
loss of certain key personnel, including Ketan Seth. There can be no assurance that any replacement Sponsor or key personnel will successfully
identify a Business Combination target for us, or, even if one is so identified, successfully complete such Business Combination.
The
securities held by the Sponsor are expected to only be distributed directly to the members of the Sponsor following the consummation
of our initial Business Combination, provided that such members agree to become subject to the applicable transfer restrictions with
respect to such securities, including the Letter Agreement. Indirect transfers of the securities held by the Sponsor, such as to another
member of the Sponsor or their affiliate, a family member or a new member of the Sponsor, may be permitted with the prior consent of
Mr. Seth, the managing member of BHM, the managing member of our Sponsor, so long as such transfer complies with the applicable transfer
restrictions with respect to such securities to the same extent as the party originally subject to such restrictions.

Business
Strategy
Within
our team’s ecosystem and network, we have direct access to industry leaders in sustainable manufacturing, energy co-production,
and water & waste management. This strategic positioning is expected to enable us to identify and partner with companies that integrate
green energy sources with energy-intensive manufacturing and onsite energy production.
We
envision a clear and actionable path to merging with a company that not only prioritizes sustainability, but also enhances operational
efficiency through smart energy integration. Our expertise is expected to extend beyond the Business Combination—our team delivers
long-term value by optimizing green energy generation within manufacturing operations and facilitating the export of surplus energy.
With the right partnerships and expertise, we believe we are positioned to enhance industrial sustainability, drive energy innovation,
and create a lasting impact on the clean energy economy.
Onsite
Energy Production
● Harness
the power of self-sustaining energy generation, ensuring all operational energy needs are met onsite.
● Generate
excess energy for export and future expansion, turning the facility into an energy hub.
● Align
with the U.S. Department of Energy’s vision for green manufacturing, reinforcing sustainability at the core of operations.
Water
& Waste Management
● Optimize
resource efficiency by utilizing non-potable (saline aquifers or seawater) local water sources, purifying them using only renewable electricity,
thus minimizing environmental impact.
● Achieve
zero liquid discharge, ensuring responsible water management and compliance with eco-friendly regulations.
● Implement
real-time waste management or advanced processing facilities that neutralize waste, creating a cleaner, greener industrial ecosystem.
Green
Energy Integration
● Future-proof
operations by integrating cutting-edge green energy technologies, including:
o Solar
and/or wind with battery energy storage systems integration.
o Second
& third-generation geothermal and synthetic geothermal for reliable, renewable energy.
o Next-generation nuclear reactors and commercialized fusion power for
groundbreaking energy efficiency as they become commercially available.
o Hydropower
solutions to leverage existing renewable infrastructure where we can acquire existing hydro resources, and the power is otherwise not
available to the grid.
● Drive
energy independence and contribute to the global transition toward clean power solutions.
By
combining energy innovation, sustainable water management, and advanced green technologies, we believe a target company can not only
meet its own needs but also support global energy demands—paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient future.
10
Business
Combination Criteria
Consistent
with our business strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating
prospective target businesses, including Blockfusion. We use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities, but
we may decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that does not meet some or all of these criteria
and guidelines.
Based
on our Management Team’s experience, we have developed the following investment criteria that we use to screen and evaluate prospective
target businesses.
● Manufacturing
companies or data centers with the need to become energy independent or partially independent, with a leading industry position and recognized
leadership. We intend to focus our search on one or more businesses based primarily in the US within industries that we believe
have strong fundamentals, favorable prospects and a high likelihood of generating strong risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.
The factors we consider include management’s credentials, growth prospects, competitive dynamics, level of industry consolidation,
need for capital investment, intellectual property, barriers to entry, energy consumption and merger terms. We analyze the strengths
and weaknesses of the target business relative to its competitors, focusing on business strategy and revenue streams for the data centers
as well as energy costs, green initiatives, government incentives, land and power availability, fiber connectivity, zoning & permits
site scalability, occupancy rates, technological obsolescence and security and compliance risks. On the manufacturing side, we look at
energy intensive businesses that need to become independent or at least partially independent, analyzing their energy efficiency measures,
if there is already a partial renewable energy integration, the profitability of the company relative to energy costs change. We also
seek to acquire a business with diversified customer and supplier bases, and competitive advantages, which help protect its market position,
sustain profitability and deliver strong free cash flow. We may also acquire a target with strong underlying fundamentals, but which
is not properly capitalized. We do not intend to acquire start-up companies, although we are not prohibited from doing so.
● Growth
Potential, including Strategic Acquisition Opportunities. Our objective is to acquire a business with strong organic growth
prospects that can be further enhanced through a well-defined pipeline of value-accretive acquisitions, particularly within domestic
markets. We plan to collaborate closely with the existing management team to expand the business through high-yield capital investments
and strategic acquisitions while ensuring an optimized capital structure to support long-term growth.
● Stable
Free Cash Flow, Prudent Debt and Financial Visibility. We seek to acquire a business that has historically generated, or has the
near-term potential to generate, strong and sustainable free cash flow. To support the free cash flow and maintain a strong balance sheet,
we expect to seek to limit debt immediately following an initial Business Combination to levels below 3x EBITDA on a normalized, prospective
basis. To provide reliable guidance, we also seek to acquire a business that has strong visibility on forward financial performance and
straightforward operating metrics. Our team aims to partner with a well-established company known for its history of strong growth, innovation,
and profitability. We are particularly interested in collaborating with a management team that has extensive industry expertise and a
commitment to responsible business practices. If needed, we are prepared to enhance the target company’s leadership by leveraging
our extensive network to attract and integrate additional experienced professionals. This could include bringing in seasoned experts
from relevant industries to strengthen the executive team or the board of directors. Our goal is to ensure that the company is well-equipped
for sustained success and growth.
● Proprietary
Sourcing Approach. Rather than engaging in widely marketed transactions, we leverage our extensive network to identify and pursue
a proprietary initial Business Combination. However, we remain open to participating in selective processes, particularly those focused
on SPACs, where we would not be competing directly with traditional initial public offerings or private equity buyouts. Additionally,
we may consider opportunities at later stages of a process when other options have been ruled out, relying on our expertise in successfully
closing Business Combinations or where our Company is ideally suited to the target’s scale and needs.
● Readiness
for Public Markets and Transaction Process. We aim to acquire a company that either already has in place or can establish the
necessary governance structures, financial systems, and controls to meet the requirements of a publicly traded company.
11
While
these criteria serve as guidelines, they are not exhaustive. Our assessment of a potential initial Business Combination takes into account
various relevant factors as determined by our Management Team. If we choose to proceed with a target company that does not fully meet
these criteria, we will transparently disclose this information in our communications with stockholders. This disclosure will be provided
through proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents, as outlined in this Report, and submitted to the SEC, such as the Blockfusion
Registration Statement.
Evaluation
of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination
In
evaluating a prospective target business, such as Blockfusion, we conduct an extensive due diligence review that encompasses, as applicable
and among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection
of facilities and a review of financial and other information about the target and its industry. We also utilize our Management Team’s
operational and capital planning experience.
Each
of our directors and officers, directly or indirectly, owns Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Units following the Initial Public
Offering and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business
with which to effectuate our initial Business Combination. Further, such officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with
respect to evaluating a particular Business Combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included
by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial Business Combination.
Certain
of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
to other entities, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a Business Combination opportunity to
such entity subject to his or her fiduciary duties. As a result, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a Business Combination
opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, then, subject to
such officer’s and director’s fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, he or she will need to honor such fiduciary or contractual
obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such entity, before we can pursue such opportunity. If these other entities
decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing the same. However, we do not expect these duties to materially
affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Amended and Restated Articles provide that to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent
expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of
business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential
transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
In
addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other SPACs similar to ours or may pursue other business or
investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial Business Combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and
directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present Business Combination opportunities to us or to any other
special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional
conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial Business Combination target, which could materially affect our ability to complete our initial
Business Combination.
The
time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial Business Combination, and the costs
associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification
and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial Business Combination is not ultimately
completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another Business Combination.
Because
there are numerous special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial Business Combination with available targets,
the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies
to demand improved financial terms. Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector
downturns (including a negative public perception of mergers involving SPACs), geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional
capital needed to close Business Combinations or operate targets post-Business Combination. Thus, our ability to identify and evaluate
a target company may be impacted by significant competition among other special purpose acquisition companies in pursuing Business Combination
transaction candidates and significant competition may impact the attractiveness of the acquisition terms that we will be able to negotiate.
12
Initial
Business Combination
We
are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following the Initial Public
Offering. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the
Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (including pursuant to
any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued
to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing. We may seek to complete
our initial Business Combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or
growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.
We
will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our
initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without
a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only
if we receive an Ordinary Resolution. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing
of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock
exchange listing requirement.
If
our initial Business Combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account
are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial Business Combination or used for redemptions of our Class A
Ordinary Shares, we may use the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account following the closing for general corporate
purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest
due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial Business Combination, to fund the purchase of other companies, or for working
capital.
We
may pursue an initial Business Combination in any business or industry. Although our Management will assess the risks inherent in a particular
target business with which we may combine, we cannot assure you that this assessment will result in our identifying all risks that a
target business may encounter. Furthermore, some of those risks may be outside of our control, meaning that we can do nothing to control
or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely affect a target business.
We
will have until March 16, 2027 to consummate an initial Business Combination, or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of
directors may approve, to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial
Business Combination within such Combination Period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to further
extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension, our Public
Shareholders will be offered an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of
then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law.
If
we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or by such earlier liquidation date as our
Board of Directors may approve, we will redeem 100% of the Public Shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon (less income taxes, if any, payable and up to $100,000
of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable
law and certain conditions as further described herein. While the pro rata Redemption Price was approximately $10.21 per Public Share
as of December 31, 2025, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result
of claims of creditors, which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders.
The
Nasdaq Rules require that we must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of
the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the interest earned
on the Trust Account, and such test, the “80% Test”)). Our Board of Directors will make the determination as to the fair
market value of our initial Business Combination. If our Board of Directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value
of our initial Business Combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity
that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it likely that our Board
of Directors will be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial Business Combination, it may be
unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of
uncertainty as to the value of the target’s assets or prospects. Additionally, pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules, any initial Business
Combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors.
13
We
anticipate structuring our initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which our Public Shareholders own shares
will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial
Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target
business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete
such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target
or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target,
our shareholders prior to the Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post transaction company, depending
on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the Business Combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue
a substantial number of new Ordinary Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of
a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial
number of new Ordinary Shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial Business Combination could own less than a majority
of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares subsequent to our initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests
or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses
that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% Test. If the Business Combination involves more
than one target business, the 80% Test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. Based on the valuation analysis
of our Management and Board of Directors, we have determined that the fair market value of Blockfusion was substantially in excess of
80% of the funds in the Trust Accountant and that the 80% Test was therefore satisfied.
Status
as a Public Company
We
believe our structure makes us an attractive Business Combination partner to target businesses. As an existing public company, we offer
a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other Business Combination with us. In
a Business Combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock or shares
in the target business for our Class A Ordinary Shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our Class A Ordinary
Shares and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers. We believe target businesses will find
this method a more expeditious and cost-effective method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical
initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical Business Combination transaction process,
and there are significant expenses and market and other uncertainties in the initial public offering process, including underwriting
discounts and commissions, marketing and road show efforts that may not be present to the same extent in connection with a Business Combination
with us.
Furthermore,
once a proposed initial Business Combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial
public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions,
which could delay or prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial Business
Combination, we believe the target business would then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives
consistent with shareholders’ interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company
can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented
employees.
While
we believe that our structure and our Management Team’s backgrounds make us an attractive business partner, some potential target
businesses may view our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder
approval of any proposed initial Business Combination, negatively.
Financial
Position
With funds available for a
Business Combination as of December 31, 2025 in the amount of $205,642,100 (before redemptions, taxes payable on the interest earned,
if any, and payment of the Deferred Fee), we offer a target business a variety of options, such as creating a liquidity event for its
owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its
debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial Business Combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination
of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid
to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing and there can
be no assurance it will be available to us.
14
Potential
Additional Financings
We
may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial
Business Combination and we may effectuate our initial Business Combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the
amounts held in the Trust Account. Should we seek to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either
because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account or because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt
issuances, our Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our Public
Shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our
equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Further, as described above, due to the anti-dilution rights
of our Founder Shares, our Public Shareholders may incur material dilution. In addition, we target businesses with enterprise values
that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, and, as a result,
if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions
by Public Shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. We may
also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs
in connection with our search for and completion of our initial Business Combination. There is no limitation on our ability to raise
funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with
our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter.
Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our
initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available
to us, we will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is
insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. None of our Sponsors, officers, directors
or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial Business Combination.
See
“Blockfusion Business Combination” above and the Blockfusion Registration Statement for more information on the equity and
financing arrangements in connection with the Blockfusion Business Combination.
Sources
of Target Businesses
We
believe our Management Team’s significant operating and transaction experience and relationships provide us with a substantial
number of potential initial Business Combination targets. Over the course of their careers, the members of our Management Team have developed
a broad network of contacts and corporate relationships around the world. This network has grown through the activities of our Management
Team sourcing, acquiring and financing businesses, the reputation of our Management Team and advisors for integrity and fair dealing
with sellers, financing sources and target management teams and the experience of our Management Team in executing transactions under
varying economic and financial market conditions.
This
network has provided our Management Team with a flow of referrals that has resulted in numerous transactions that were proprietary or
where a limited group of investors were invited to participate in the sale process. We believe that the network of contacts and relationships
of our Management Team provide us important sources of investment opportunities.
In
addition, target business candidates are brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and
private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited
by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on
an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read our Initial Public Offering prospectus and know what types of businesses
we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates
of which they become aware through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have,
as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that
would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and directors.
While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions
on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting
fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction.
15
Prior
to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, there may be payment by us to our Sponsor, officers or directors,
or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order
to effectuate the completion of our initial Business Combination, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination,
will be paid from funds held outside the Trust Account.
We
engage a finder only to the extent our Management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise
be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our Management determines is in
our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such
fee will be paid out of the funds held in the Trust Account.
We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Initial Shareholders, officers
or directors or completing the Business Combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers
or directors. While Blockfusion is not affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, directors or advisors, in the event we do not consummate
the Blockfusion Business Combination and we seek to complete our initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined
in our Amended and Restated Articles) with our Sponsor, officers, directors or advisors, we, or a committee of independent directors,
will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions,
stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial Business Combination is fair to our Company from a financial point
of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Lack
of Business Diversification
For
an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial Business Combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely
on the future performance of a single business, such as Blockfusion. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete Business
Combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our
operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial Business Combination with only a single
entity, our lack of diversification may:
● subject
us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular
industry in which we operate after our initial Business Combination, and
● cause
us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.
Limited
Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team
Although
we closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business, including the management team of Blockfusion, when evaluating
the desirability of effecting our initial Business Combination with that business and plan to continue to do so if the Blockfusion Business
Combination is not consummated and we seek other Business Combination opportunities, our assessment of the target business’s management
may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage
a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our Management Team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be
stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our Management Team will remain with the combined company
will be made in connection with our initial Business Combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors or officers
will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial Business Combination, including the Blockfusion Business Combination
it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial Business Combination. Moreover,
we cannot assure our shareholders that members of our Management Team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations
of the particular target business.
16
We
cannot assure our shareholders that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined
company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our
initial Business Combination.
Following
a Business Combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We
cannot assure our shareholders that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the
requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Shareholders
May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination
We
may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our Amended
and Restated Articles. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or stock exchange rule (as is the
case with the Blockfusion Business Combination as currently contemplated), or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business
or other reasons.
Under
the Nasdaq Rules, shareholder approval would be required for our initial Business Combination if, for example:
● we
issue Ordinary Shares that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of our Ordinary Shares then outstanding (other than in
a public offering);
● any
of our directors, officers or substantial shareholders (as defined by the Nasdaq Rules) has a 5% or greater interest earned on the Trust
Account (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be
acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares could result in an increase in outstanding Ordinary Shares
or voting power of 5% or more; or
● the
issuance or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares will result in our undergoing a change of control.
The
decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination in those instances in which shareholder approval
is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based
on business and legal reasons, which include a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the timing of the transaction,
including in the event we determine shareholder approval would require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek shareholder
approval or doing so would place us at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other additional burdens on us; (ii) the expected
cost of holding a shareholder vote; (iii) the risk that the shareholders would fail to approve the proposed Business Combination; (iv)
other time and budget constraints of our Company; and (v) additional legal complexities of a proposed Business Combination that would
be time-consuming and burdensome to present to shareholders.
See
“Blockfusion Business Combination” above and the Blockfusion Registration Statement for more information on the requisite
approvals in connection with the Blockfusion Business Combination.
Permitted
Purchases of Our Securities
If
we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business
Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may purchase
Public Shares or Public Rights in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion
of our initial Business Combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual
acknowledgment that such Public Shareholder, although still the record holder of our Public Shares is no longer the beneficial owner
thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers,
advisors and their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected
to exercise their redemption rights, such selling Public Shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their
Public Shares. It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors
and their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extent it applies, which
provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases.
17
Additionally,
at any time at or prior to our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material
nonpublic information), our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may enter into transactions with
investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of our initial Business
Combination or not redeem their Public Shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions
and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase
Public Shares or Public Rights in such transactions.
The
purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination,
(2) reduce the number of Public Rights outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the Public
Right holders for approval in connection with our initial Business Combination or (3) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement
with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial Business Combination,
where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion
of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. To the extent that any Public Shares are purchased such
purchases will be in compliance with all of the requirements set forth in “Tender Offers and Schedules Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations Question 166.01” promulgated by the SEC, including that such Public Shares will not be voted.
In
addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders
of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities
on a national securities exchange.
Our
Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the Public Shareholders with
whom our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either
the Public Shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by Public Shareholders (in the case
of Public Shares) following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our
Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates enter into a private transaction, they would identify and contact
only potential selling or redeeming Public Shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata
share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial Business Combination, whether or not such Public Shareholder has already submitted
a proxy with respect to our initial Business Combination, but only if such Public Shares have not already been voted at the general meeting
related to our initial Business Combination. Our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will select
from which Public Shareholders to purchase Public Shares based on the negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that
they may deem relevant, and will be restricted from purchasing Public Shares if such purchases do not comply with Regulation M under
the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
Our
Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates are restricted from making purchases of Public Shares if the
purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant
to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.
Additionally, in the event our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares
or Public Rights from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5
under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:
● our
registration statement/proxy statement filed for our Business Combination transaction, such as the Blockfusion Registration Statement,
would disclose the possibility that our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may purchase Public
Shares or Public Rights from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;
● if
our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares or Public Rights from Public
Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;
● our
registration statement/proxy statement filed for our Business Combination transaction, such as the Blockfusion Registration Statement,
would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors
and their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction;
18
● our
Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to our
securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and
● we
would disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, before our general meeting of shareholders to approve the Business Combination transaction,
the following material items:
● the
amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their
affiliates, along with the purchase price;
● the
purpose of the purchases by our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates;
● the
impact, if any, of the purchases by our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates on the likelihood that
the Business Combination transaction will be approved;
● the
identities of our security holders who sold to our Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates (if not purchased
on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our Initial Shareholders, directors,
officers, advisors and their affiliates; and
● the
number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.
Redemptions
in Connection with Our Initial Business Combination
Redemption
Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination
We
will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares, regardless of whether they
abstain, vote for, or vote against, our initial Business Combination, upon the completion of our initial Business Combination at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to
the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable,
if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein.
As of December 31, 2025, the Redemption Price was approximately $10.21 per Public Share (before taxes payable, if any). The per share
amount we will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the Deferred Fee we will
pay to the Underwriters. Our Sponsor, officers and directors and a certain advisor have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant
to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public
Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination.
Our
proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its
owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions.
In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption
plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate
amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares, and all Public Shares
submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked
securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to
any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements into which we may enter, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net
tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
See
“Blockfusion Business Combination” above and the Blockfusion Registration Statement for more information on redemptions of
our Public Shares in connection with the Blockfusion Business Combination.
19
Manner
of Conducting Redemptions
We
will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our
initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without
a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing
of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock
exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than
seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules). Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval
while direct mergers with our Company (other than with a 90% subsidiary of ours) and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of
our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or seek to amend our Amended and Restated Articles would require shareholder approval. So
long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with the shareholder approval requirements
of the Nasdaq Rules.
The
requirement that we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed
above is contained in provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles and will apply whether or not we maintain our registration under
the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended if approved by a Special Resolution.
If
we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, we will,
pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles:
● conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant
to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules;
and
● file
proxy materials with the SEC.
In
the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection
therewith, provide our Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial Business Combination.
If
we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only if we receive an Ordinary Resolution. However, if
our initial Business Combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law,
the approval of our initial Business Combination will require a Special Resolution. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the
holders of at least one third of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or
by proxy. Our Sponsor, officers and directors and a certain advisor will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the Letter Agreement,
our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased
during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may
purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the
Business Combination transaction) in favor of our initial Business Combination. For purposes of seeking approval of an Ordinary Resolution,
non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial Business Combination once a quorum is obtained.
As
a result, if all outstanding Ordinary Shares are voted on a resolution to approve our initial Business Combination, in addition to the
6,769,913 Founder Shares and 391,000 Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor and 300,000 Founder Shares held by Alberto Pontonio,
a registered broker-dealer associated with Roberts & Ryan, co-manager of the Initial Public Offering., if we would require an Ordinary
Resolution, we would need 6,520,169 Public Shares, or approximately 32.40% of the 20,125,000 Public Shares, and if we would require a
Special Resolution, we would need 11,180,529 Public Shares, or approximately 55.56% of the 20,125,000 Public Shares, to be voted in favor
of an initial Business Combination in order to have our initial Business Combination approved, assuming that the parties to the Letter
Agreement do not acquire any Public Shares. Assuming that only the holders of one-third of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares,
representing a quorum under our Amended and Restated Articles, vote their Ordinary Shares, regardless of such vote pertains to an Ordinary
Resolution or a Special Resolution of two-thirds of our Ordinary Shares voted at the meeting, we would not need any Public Shares in
addition to our Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to approve
an initial Business Combination.
In
addition, prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to
appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled
to vote on continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to amend our
constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation
in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our Sponsor, officers
and directors, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial Business Combination. Each Public Shareholder may elect to
redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or vote against the proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote
or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting
held to approve the proposed transaction.
20
If
a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:
● conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E
of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers; and
● file
tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial
and other information about the initial Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the
Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
In
the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days,
in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial Business
Combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders
not tendering more than the number of Public Shares we are permitted to redeem. If Public Shareholders tender more Public Shares than
we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial Business Combination.
Upon
the public announcement of our initial Business Combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we,
or our Sponsor, will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Public Shares in the open market,
in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
We
intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their
Public Shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer
agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy
materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to
the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection
with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request
for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such
Public Shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to our Public Shareholders
in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery
requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further
communication or action from the redeeming Public Shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative
cost. If the proposed initial Business Combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return
any certificates or Public Shares delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares.
Our
proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its
owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions.
In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption
plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate
amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares, and all Public Shares
submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked
securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to
any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements into which we may enter, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net
tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
21
Limitation
on Redemptions Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval
If
we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business
Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Amended and Restated Articles provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any
affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
(as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate
of 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Excess Shares”) without our prior consent. We believe
this restriction will discourage Public Shareholders from accumulating large blocks of Public Shares, and subsequent attempts by such
holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed Business Combination as a means to force us or our
Management to purchase their Public Shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent
this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering could
threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such Public Shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our Management at a premium
to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our Public Shareholders’ ability to redeem no more
than 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of
a small group of Public Shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, particularly
in connection with a Business Combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
amount of cash.
However,
we will not restrict our Public Shareholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against
our initial Business Combination.
Delivering
Share Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights
As
described above, we intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders
or hold their Public Shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to
our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth
in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business
days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions
in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit
a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial
owner of such Public Shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to our Public
Shareholders in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy
such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a Public Shareholder would have up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the initial
Business Combination if we distribute proxy materials, or from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the
tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its Public Shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In
the event that a Public Shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials,
as applicable, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for Public Shareholders
to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.
There
is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced process and the act of certificating the Public Shares or delivering them through
the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering Public Shares a fee of approximately $100.00
and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless
of whether or not we require Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to submit or tender their Public Shares. The need
to deliver Public Shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
Any
request to redeem such Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender
offer documents, as applicable. Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption
rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such Public Shareholder may simply
request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed
to our Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial Business
Combination.
If
our initial Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their
redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such
case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares.
If
the Blockfusion Business Combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a Business Combination with a different target
until the end of the Combination Period.
22
Redemption
of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination
Our
Amended and Restated Articles provide that we have only the duration of the Combination Period to complete our initial Business Combination.
If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within such time period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available
funds therefor), redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes, if any, and less
up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of
our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating
distributions with respect to our Rights, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period.
Our
Sponsor, officers and directors and a certain advisor have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived
their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete
our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; although, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from assets
outside the Trust Account. However, if our Sponsor or Management Team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering,
they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our
initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Our
Sponsor, officers and directors and a certain advisor have also agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose
any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection
with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period, or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination
activity, in each case unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of
any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public
Shares.
We
expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be
funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $560,813 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of December 31, 2025),
although we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest
accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, we may request
the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
If
we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, other than the proceeds deposited
in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the Redemption Price upon our dissolution
would be approximately $10.21 as of December 31, 2025. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to
the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure our Public
Shareholders that the actual per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders will not be substantially less than the Redemption
Price. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure our shareholders that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide
for all creditors’ claims.
Although
we seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements
with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our
Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would
be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary
responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain
an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to
execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our Management will consider whether competitive alternatives
are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if Management believes that such third party’s
engagement would be in our best interests under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that
refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by Management
to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where Management is unable
to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Elliott Davis, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the Underwriters
did not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that
such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts
or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.
23
To
protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by
a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for our independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective
target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination
agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount
per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share
due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, if any, provided that such liability will not apply to
any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust
Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification
obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we
believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our Company. Therefore, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that
our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account,
the funds available for our initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such
event, we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination, and our Public Shareholders would receive such lesser amount
per share in connection with any redemption of their Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by
third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
In
the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount
per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to
reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, in each case less (x) taxes payable, if any, and (y) up to $100,000 for dissolution
expenses, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations
related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce
its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against
our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business
judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent
directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not
likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption
price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.
We
seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to
have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with
us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable
as to any claims under our indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
As of December 31, 2025, we had access to up to approximately $560,813 from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held outside
of the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation,
currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that
the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims
made by creditors.
If
we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed,
the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy
estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims
deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our Public Shareholders.
Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us
that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy/insolvency
laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.” As a result,
a liquidator or bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our Board
of Directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby
exposing itself and our Company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing
the claims of creditors. We cannot assure our shareholders that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
24
Our
Public Shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares
if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend
our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (x) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our
initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the
Combination Period or (y) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity
or (iii) if they redeem their respective Public Shares for cash upon the completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable
law and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) created by the terms of the proposed Business Combination. In
no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek
shareholder approval in connection with our initial Business Combination, a Public Shareholder’s voting in connection with the
Business Combination alone will not result in a Public Shareholder’s redeeming its Public Shares to us for an applicable pro rata
share of the Trust Account. Such Public Shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions
of our Amended and Restated Articles, like all provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles, may be amended with a shareholder vote.
Competition
In
identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial Business Combination, we encounter competition from other entities
having a business objective similar to ours, including other SPACs, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies
and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying
and effecting Business Combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical,
human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This
inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash
in connection with our Public Shareholders who exercise or are forced to exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available
to us for our initial Business Combination and our issued and outstanding Rights, and the future dilution they potentially represent,
may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully
negotiating an initial Business Combination.
Employees
We
currently have two officers: Messrs. Keran Seth, our CEO, and David Bauer, our CFO. They are not obligated to devote any specific number
of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our
initial Business Combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period varies based on the stage of the Business Combination
process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination.
Periodic
Reporting and Financial Information
We
have registered our Public Units, Public Shares and Public Rights under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the
requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act,
our annual reports, including this Report, contain financial statements audited and reported on by Elliott Davis, our independent registered
public accountant. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange
Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial Business Combination.
We
will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials
or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business, such as the Blockfusion Registration
Statement. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP, or IFRS,
depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial Business
Combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance
with federal proxy rules and complete our initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure our shareholders
that any particular target business identified by us as a potential Business Combination candidate will have financial statements prepared
in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements
in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire
the proposed target business, including Blockfusion. While this may limit the pool of potential Business Combination candidates, we do
not believe that this limitation will be material.
25
We
are required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth
company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity
to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such Business Combination.
We
are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman
Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied
for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions
Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 30 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman
Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition,
that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will
be payable (i) on or in respect of our Ordinary Shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or
in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest
or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such,
we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies
that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic
reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and
shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive
as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other
words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We intend to continue to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following June 16, 2030, (b) in which
we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means
the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2)
the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
We
are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take
advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements.
We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Class A Ordinary
Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual
revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held
by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter.
In
addition, prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on
(i) the appointment or removal of directors and (ii) an amendment to continue our existence in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands.
As a result, Nasdaq considers us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards.
Under Nasdaq corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the appointment of directors is
held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate
governance requirements. We currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, but may do so in the future.
Accordingly, if we choose to do so, our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are
subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
