Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such
as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the
supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31,
2025.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.

a report of Management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered

began airing on TV One in July 2024, and includes episodes on raising world renowned athletes and entertainers.
We
consider Mr. Semler well-qualified to serve as a member of the Board due to his deep expertise in capital allocation, corporate governance,
strategic planning, investment management and public company experience qualify him to be a director of our company.

Business School, where he was a George F. Baker Scholar and a Horace W. Goldsmith Fellow. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Princeton
University’s School of Public and International Affairs, where he received the R.W. Van de Velde Award.
We
consider Mr. Smith well-qualified to serve as a member of the Board due to his public company experience and business leadership.
Thomas
J. Lee became an independent director immediately upon the commencement of trading of our securities on Nasdaq. Mr. Lee is
also a Managing Partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors (“Fundstrat”), and a widely recognized and followed macro strategists on
Wall Street. In 2014, Mr. Lee co-founded Fundstrat, a research advisory firm that has since grown to over 30 full-time employees,
serving hedge funds, mutual funds, and family offices across 26 countries. Mr. Lee is currently the Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio
Manager at Fundstrat Capital, an affiliate of Fundstrat. He is also co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat. Since August 2025,
he has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of FutureCrest Acquisition Corp., a blank check company currently in
registration with the SEC. Prior to Fundstrat, Mr. Lee served as Chief Equity Strategist at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. between 1999 and
2014. Earlier in his career, he worked as a telecommunications equity research analyst and small-cap equity/bankruptcy/reorg strategist
from 2004 to 2010, at firms including Kidder, Peabody, and Salomon Smith Barney. Mr. Lee is best known for his research-driven methodology
to determine higher-probability outcomes for equity markets and for identifying high-performing stocks aligned with major secular
themes, including digital assets, AI, demographic megatrends, and technology. In July 2017, Mr. Lee wrote a report on bitcoin, establishing
a valuation framework in relation to gold. Bitcoin was at roughly $2,600 and Mr. Lee expected the value could reach $20,000-$55,000 by
2022. In 2024, he launched the asset management firm Fundstrat Capital, introducing the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF (Ticker:
GRNY), an actively managed fund representing Fundstrat’s evidence-based approach to large-cap equity investing. The GRNY ETF
surpassed $1.1 billion in assets within the first 6 months. A frequent contributor to CNBC, Mr. Lee is also widely quoted in major media
outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Bloomberg, Fox, and Yahoo Finance. He has been professionally recognized for his work,
holding top rankings by Institutional Investor for over 15 years. His data-driven approach, summarized as “analysis, not opinions,”
is valued by clients for being both contrarian and highly differentiated. Mr. Lee earned his BSE in Economics with dual concentrations
in Finance and Accounting from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. He is also a CFA Charterholder.
We
believe Mr. Lee’s extensive expertise in capital allocation, and investment management qualify him to be a director of our Company.
36
Steven
Silverstein became an independent director immediately upon the commencement of trading of our securities on Nasdaq. Since
June 2003, Mr. Silverstein has been the Chief Executive Officer of Spencer Spirit Holdings, Inc., which operates two distinct experiential
lifestyle brands, Spencer’s and Spirit Halloween. Spencer’s, a specialty retailer founded in 1947, opened its first location in 1963.
Today Spencer’s operates over 600 locations throughout the United States and Canada. Spirit is the leading Halloween retailer in North
America. Spirit Halloween was originally founded in 1983 and acquired by Spencer’s in 1999. Since 2003 with approximately 160 locations,
Spirit has experienced steady annual growth of approximately 50 stores, most recently opening 1,525 stores for the 2024 Halloween season.
From 1992 to 2003, Mr. Silverstein joined Linens & Things, a New Jersey based retailer specializing in housewares and home decorative
accessories. Among multiple other positions, Mr. Silverstein served as President from 2001 until 2003. He previously held leadership roles
at Bloomingdales and Macy’s in New York City. Mr. Silverstein earned his BA from Cornell University and MBA from the Wharton School at
the University of Pennsylvania.
We
believe Mr. Silverstein’s deep expertise in business management, revenue growth, corporate governance and strategic planning qualify
him to be a director of our Company.
Family Relationships
No family relationships
exist between any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings
to which any director or executive officer has been involved in the last ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or
integrity of any director or officer.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and
Directors
Our
Board of Directors consists of four members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each
year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term.
Prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the
appointment and removal of directors or 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). Our Public Shareholders are not entitled to vote on such
matters during such time. These provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles relating to these rights of holders of Class B Ordinary
Shares may be amended by a Special Resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in
respect of the consummation of our initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled
to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of our shareholders, voting together
as a single class. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting
until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting
of Mr. Silverstein, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of
Mr. Lee, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Semler
and Smith, will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Our officers are appointed
by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board of
Directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has
established two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Subject to phase-in rules, the Nasdaq Rules
and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent
directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board and has the composition and responsibilities described
below.
Audit Committee
Our Board of Directors has
established the Audit Committee. Messrs. Lee, Silverstein and Smith serve as the members of our Audit Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules
and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the Audit Committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Lee,
Silverstein and Smith are each independent.
Mr. Smith serves as the chairman
of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Cherni
qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
37
We have adopted Audit Committee
charter, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including:
● assisting Board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements,
(2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications
and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; the appointment,
compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent
registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
● pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered
public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the independent registered public accounting
firm have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1) the independent
registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal
quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent registered public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation
by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by
the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements
and quarterly financial statements with Management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including reviewing our specific
disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; reviewing
and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC
prior to us entering into such transaction;
● reviewing with Management, the independent registered public accounting
firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators
or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements
or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other regulatory
authorities;
· advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions
of the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance
of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule; and
· implementing and overseeing our cybersecurity and information security policies, and periodically reviewing
the policies and managing potential cybersecurity incidents.
Compensation Committee
Our Board of Directors has
established the Compensation Committee. The members of our Compensation Committee consist of Messrs. Smith and Silverstein. Mr. Silverstein
serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation
committee of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Smith and Silverstein are each independent.
We have adopted a Compensation
Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:
● reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and
objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in
light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such
evaluation;
38
● reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with
respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other
officers;
● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting Management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements
for our executive officers and employees;
● producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;
● reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and
· advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the SEC Clawback Rule
are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change and perform any other tasks required of
it by the Clawback Policy, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange
and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule.
The charter also provides
that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or
other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However,
before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee
will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing
nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or
the Nasdaq Rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend
a director nominee for selection by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily
carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee.
The directors who participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Lee, Silverstein and Smith. In
accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating
committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
The Board of Directors also
considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to
stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that
wish to nominate a director for appointment to our Board of Directors should follow the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated
Articles.
We have not formally established
any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying
and evaluating nominees for director, our Board of Directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge
of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Prior to our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination
to our Board of Directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted the Code of
Ethics. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant
any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable
SEC rules or the Nasdaq Rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our
website is not incorporated by reference into this Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references
to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.
39
The foregoing description
of the Code of Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Code of Ethics,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.
Trading Policies
On September 5, 2025, we adopted the Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq Rules.
The
foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and
conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19.
Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
None
of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We are not prohibited from paying
any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their respective
affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, including the
following payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, have been and will continue to
be paid from funds held outside the Trust Account:
● In July 2025, our Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of our independent directors and 15,000
Founder Shares to our Chief Financial Officer (an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares) as compensation for their services;
● Repayment of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to us by
our Sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note;
● Reimbursement for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative
support made available to us by our Sponsor, in an amount equal to $10,000 per month pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement;
● Payment of advisory, consulting, success or finder fees to our Sponsor, officers, directors or promoters,
or their respective affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination;
● We may engage our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with
our initial Business Combination and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes
a market standard for comparable transactions;
● Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and
completing an initial Business Combination; and
● Repayment of Working Capital Loans that may be made by our Sponsor
or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial
Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination
entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such Working Capital Loans.
After
the completion of our initial Business Combination, directors or members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting
or Management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in
the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial Business
Combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or
members of Management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial Business Combination,
because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation.
40
Any compensation to be paid
to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the Board of Directors for determination, either by the Compensation Committee
or by a majority of the independent directors on our Board of Directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our Management Team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial Business Combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or
consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial Business Combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting
arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our Management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business
but we do not believe that the ability of our Management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial Business Combination
will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential Business Combination. We are not party to any agreements with
our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy
On September 5, 2025, our
Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Clawback Policy in order to comply with the SEC Clawback Rule, and the Nasdaq Rules, as
set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. At no time during the fiscal year covered by this Report
were we required to prepare an accounting restatement that required recovery of an erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback
Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 97.
Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth
information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 30, 2026 based on information obtained from the persons
named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by:
●
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares;
●
each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and
●
all our executive officers and directors as a group.
In the table below, percentage
ownership is based on 34,375,000 Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 27,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 6,875,000 Class B Ordinary
Shares, issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026. On all matters to be voted upon, except for (x)
the appointment and removal of directors to the Board and (y) continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands ,
holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by applicable
law. Currently, all of the Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
Unless otherwise indicated,
we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially
owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants as these Private
Placement Warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Report.

Item 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
On June 10, 2025, the Sponsor
paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain costs and expenses in exchange for 5,750,000 Founder Shares. On September
9, 2025 we effected a 1.2 for 1 share split in which we issued an additional 1,150,000 Founder Shares to the Initial Shareholders, such
that they collectively hold 6,900,000 Founder Shares. In July 2025, we transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the independent directors
and 15,000 Founder Shares to the Chief Financial Officer (an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares) as compensation for their services. In
connection with the 1.2 for 1 share split, such individuals transferred 18,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor.
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable
to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or $6,800,000 in the
aggregate. Of those 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 2,933,333 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased
1,600,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A
Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
42
Prior to the closing of our
Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note. Such loans and advances
were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of
$170,256 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on September 11, 2025. No additional borrowing is available
under the IPO Promissory Note.
Prior to or in connection
with the completion of our initial Business Combination, there may be payment by the company to our Sponsor, officers, directors or advisors
a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee 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.
Commencing
on September 9, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse the Sponsor $10,000 per month
for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the period
from June 9, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we incurred $36,667 of administrative services fees which was included in accrued
expenses in the balance sheet of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
In addition, in order to fund
working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers
and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business
Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of
the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be
used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination
entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans,
if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business
Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third
parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
We have until September 11,
2027 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 Priod, we may seek shareholder
approval to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. There
are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the Combination Period may be extended by shareholders via
an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles. 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.
Any of the foregoing payments
to our Sponsor, repayments of loans from our Sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial Business Combination
will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
43
After our initial Business
Combination, members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company
with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer
materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution
of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial Business Combination, as applicable, as
it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
The
holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) any private placement-equivalent warrants issued in connection
with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration
rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder
Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up
to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights
to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Cantor may only make a demand on one
occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, Cantor may
participate in a “piggyback” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration
Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Our
Sponsor, directors and officers 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. However, if they 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.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors
and officers 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, 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 and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided
by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Director Independence
Nasdaq Rules require that
a majority of our Board of Directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. An “independent director”
is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the
listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Thomas S. (“Tad”) Smith, Jr., Thomas J. Lee and Steven Silverstein are
“independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly
scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Trailblazer Acquisition Corp.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Trailblazer Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from June 9, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 9, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 4
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Trailblazer Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on June 9, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target. Although the Company currently intends to focus on target businesses in the media and communications, sports and entertainment, technology, and consumer retail sectors, the Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 9, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s Sponsor is Trailblazer Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 11, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-288651), was declared effective on September 9, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On September 11, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 27,500,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3, which includes the partial exercise of the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) of 3,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $ 275,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Unit has a price of $ 10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and, with respect to the Class Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share (each, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the Underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, at a price of $ 1.50 per warrant, or $ 6,800,000 in the aggregate (the “Private Placement”). Of those 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 2,933,333 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. purchased 1,600,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 17,080,880 , consisting of $ 4,800,000 of cash underwriting fee, Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $ 11,700,000 , and $ 580,880 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee).
The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of Deferred Fee held and taxes payable, if any, on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

TRAILBLAZER ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 11, 2025, an amount of $ 275,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units, and a portion of the proceeds of the Private Placement, are held in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. The Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or (iii) as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank as determined by us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on Management’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes and up to $ 100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by September 11, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles (as currently in effect, the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to (1) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled 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 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), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in the Trust Account was $ 10.12 per Public Share as of December 31, 2025.
The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
On October 29, 2025, the Company announced that, commencing on October 31, 2025, the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants included in the Units. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Any Units that are not separated will continue to trade on the Global Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BLZRU.” The Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants trade on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq under the symbols “BLZR” and “BLZRW,” respectively.
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 (less taxes payable and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated September 9, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them 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) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has 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 assets, less taxes payable, 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 the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $ 1,186,244 and working capital of $ 1,145,439 .
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may 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 its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s accompanying financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $ 1,186,244 and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Marketable Securities held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. In contrast, when the investments held in Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, these are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account of $ 278,235,039 , were held in money market funds.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Offering Costs Associated With the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. After Management’s evaluation, the Warrants are accounted for under equity treatment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.
Net Income per Ordinary Share
Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period, excluding Ordinary Shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 900,000 Ordinary Shares that were subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised. On September 11, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the Over-Allotment Option by the underwriters, 875,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 25,000 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Initial Shareholders holding 6,875,000 Founder Shares. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into Ordinary Shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per Ordinary Share is the same as basic income per Ordinary Share for the period presented.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying balance sheet are reconciled in the following table
Gross proceeds $ 275,000,000

Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 $ 278,235,039
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, (“ASC 280”) in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on June 9, 2025, its date of incorporation.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on September 11, 2025, the Company sold 27,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit for a total of $ 275,000,000 , which includes the partial exercise by the Underwriters of the Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,500,000 Units. Each Unit has a price of $ 10.00 and consists of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Warrants
As of December 31, 2025, there were 9,166,667 Public Warrants and 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrants will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying such Unit.
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated September 9, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60 th ) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the Warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00
The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ 30 -day redemption period”); and
● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.
Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $ 11.50 per share, at a price of $ 1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or $ 6,800,000 in the aggregate. Of those 4,533,333 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 2,933,333 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. purchased 1,600,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) will be entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to Private Placement Warrants held by Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(8).
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them 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) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

Founder Shares
On June 10, 2025, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s expenses, for which the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”). In July 2025, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the three independent directors and 15,000 Founder Shares to the Chief Financial Officer (an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares) as compensation for their services. On September 9, 2025, the Company effected a 1.2 for 1 share split in which the Company issued an additional 1,150,000 Founder Shares to the Initial Shareholders, so that they collectively hold 6,900,000 Founder. All share and per-share data have been retrospectively presented. Up to 900,000 of the Founder Shares may be surrendered for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option is exercised. On September 11, 2025, the Underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the Over-Allotment Option by the Underwriters, 875,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 25,000 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Initial Shareholders holding 6,875,000 Founder Shares.
The Company’s Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s Initial Shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company had borrowed $ 170,256 under the promissory note, which was repaid at the Initial Public Offering. Borrowings under the note are no longer available.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.50 per Warrant at the option of the lender. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on September 9, 2025 and pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, dated September 9, 2025, by and between the Company and the Sponsor (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), the Company has agreed to pay an aggregate of $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon the completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from June 9, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 36,667 of administrative services fees which was included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated September 9, 2025, which the Company entered into with the holders thereto. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, Cantor may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriters had a 45 -day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,600,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On September 11, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised its Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,500,000 units and forfeited the remaining unexercised balance of 100,000 Units.
The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 4,800,000 ( 2.0 % of the gross proceeds of the units offered in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds from units sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to a Deferred Fee of 4.00 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, other than those sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option, and 6.0 % of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option, $ 11,700,000 in the aggregate, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination (such fees together, the “Deferred Fee”), subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025, there were no shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issued or outstanding, excluding 27,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. On June 10, 2025, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor for $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share. In July 2025, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the three independent directors and 15,000 Founder Shares to the Chief Financial Officer (an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares) as compensation for their services. On September 9, 2025, the Company effected a 1.2 for 1 share split in which the Company issued an additional 1,150,000 Founder Shares to the Initial Shareholders, so that they collectively hold 6,900,000 Founder Shares. All share and per-share data have been retrospectively presented. Up to 900,0000 of the Founder Shares may be surrendered for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option is exercised. On September 11, 2025, the Underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the Over-Allotment Option by the Underwriters, 875,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 25,000 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Initial Shareholders holding 6,875,000 Founder Shares.
The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in relation to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares 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 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, 20 % of the sum of (i) the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Holders of record of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50 % of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares will (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90 % (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Level December 31,
2025
Assets:
Marketable securities held in Trust Account 1 $ 278,235,039
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering is $ 4,675,000 , or $ 0.51 per Public Warrant and was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering:
September 11,
2025
Traded unit price $ 9.83
Expected term to De-SPAC 2.0
Probability of De-SPAC and Market Adjustment 45.0 %

Selected volatility 5.0 %

Note 9 — Segment Information
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
December 31,
2025
Cash $ 1,186,244
Marketable securities held in Trust Account $ 278,235,039
For the
Period from
June 9,
2025
(inception)
through
December 31,
2025
General and administrative costs $ 250,048
Interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account $ 3,235,039
General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure that enough capital is available to complete an Initial Public Offering and eventually a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
General and administrative costs, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the accompanying balance sheet date through the date that the accompanying financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.
