All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 24, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Cambridge Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on industries where cultural, regulatory and technological shifts are unlocking significant market potential, yet capital scarcity and stigma have limited institutional participation. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on January 30, 2026. On February 9, 2026, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third one Public Warrant. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 495,500 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $4,955,000. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $230,000,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, 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)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
We have until February 9, 2028 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
Recent Developments
The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on January 30, 2026.
On February 5, 2026, we entered into the Administrative Services Agreement to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services.

The amounts are accrued and will only be payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. Upon completion of an initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
On February 9, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Public Units at $10.00 per Public Unit, which includes the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,000,000 Option Units, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 495,500 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in the Private Placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,955,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 9, 2026, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, was held in a Trust Account.
On February 9, 2026, the Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $3,105,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of $8,050,000 in the aggregate, which was deposited into the Trust Account and is payable to the representative on behalf of the Underwriters only upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
On February 9, 2026, we paid The Klein Group (as define below) $250,000 for its services as our capital markets advisor in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
As of February 9, 2026, the Initial Public Offering closing date, we had borrowed a total of $165,233 under the Promissory Note. Subsequently on February 9, 2026, we fully settled the total outstanding borrowings under the Promissory Note. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since October 24, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to the Initial Public Offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. Since our IPO in February 2026, we have begun to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the period from October 24, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss $63,178, which consisted of formation, general, and administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $11,725,502 in the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $2,855,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $8,050,000 and $820,502 of other offering costs.
For the period from October 24, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $63,178 was affected by payment of general and administrative costs through the Promissory Note of $47,039, formation costs paid by the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of Class B Ordinary Shares of $15,548 and changes in accrued expenses of $591.
As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Following the Initial Public Offering, we may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our 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.
As of December 31, 2025, we had no cash and working capital deficit of $101,914. Following the Initial Public Offering, we use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

Our liquidity needs through December 31, 2025 were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, and (ii) a loan pursuant to the Promissory Note.
Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of Feb 28, 2026 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025, there were $106,039 outstanding on the Promissory Note. The loan of $165,233, which was the amount outstanding on February 9, 2026, was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. No additional borrowing is available under the Promissory Note.
Working Capital Loans
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 units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, 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. As of December 31, 2025 we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on February 6, 2026, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we shall reimburse the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the arrangement had not been executed, and no fees for these services were incurred or accrued.
Advisory Service Agreement s
On February 5, 2026, we entered into the Advisory Services Agreements with affiliates of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, pursuant to which we agreed to pay an aggregate of $15,000 each, per month (an aggregate of $30,000 per month), for advisory services relating to our search for and consummation of an initial Business Combination. The amounts are accrued and will only be payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. Upon completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. As of December 31, 2025, the arrangement had not been executed, and no fees for these services were incurred or accrued.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 9, 2026, the Underwriters fully exercised their Over-Allotment Option.
The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $3,105,000 (1.35% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units offered in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the base Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, which equates to $8,050,000 in the aggregate following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Capital Markets Advisor
The Klein Group, LLC (“The Klein Group”), an affiliate of M. Klein and Company, a global strategic advisory firm, acted as the capital markets advisor in connection with our Initial Public Offering. The Klein Group was engaged to represent our interests only and is independent of the Underwriters. The Klein Group did not act as an underwriter in connection with Initial Public Offering, it did not identify or solicit potential investors for the Initial Public Offering or otherwise was not involved in the distribution of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, The Klein Group neither purchased Public Units in the Initial Public Offering nor offered Public Units to the public in connection with the Initial Public Offering and otherwise did not participate in the Initial Public Offering as defined under FINRA Rule 5110. On February 9, 2026, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the agreement governing this relationship we paid The Klein Group $250,000, which was included in the offering costs.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units 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. 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 “piggy-back” 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. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Letter Agreement
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.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Standards
The preparation of the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
