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 that the Company has not yet identified (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from June 4, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to (i) the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and (ii) subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination., which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues 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. Sponsor and Initial Public Offering The Company’s sponsor is Churchill Sponsor XI LLC (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of M. Klein and Company, LLC. 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 November 18, 2025 (File No. 333-291626), was declared effective on December 16, 2025 (as amended, and together with the registration statement on Form S-1MEF (File No. 333-292183) filed with the SEC on December 16, 2025, which became effective upon filing, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On December 18, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Public Units”), which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 5,400,000 units (the “Option Units”) at $ 10.00 per Option Unit (Note 3), generating gross proceeds of $ 414,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Public Unit 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 A Ordinary Shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-tenth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Simultaneously, the Company consummated the sale of 500,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) (Note 4), at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 5,000,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-tenth of one redeemable warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 , subject to adjustment. Transaction costs amounted to $ 19,618,232 , consisting of $ 3,000,000 of cash underwriting fees (net of $ 3,210,000 underwriter’s reimbursement), $ 15,990,000 of Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 2), and $ 628,232 of other offering costs. The Trust Account Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 18, 2025, an amount of $ 414,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units in the Private Placement, was placed in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”). The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty-five ( 185 ) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations and, may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. 5 The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) provides that, other than the permitted withdrawals (as defined below), if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares, that have been properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles (A) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. 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 Company’s public shareholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the Deferred Fee (as defined below) and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account 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 (net of amounts withdrawn to fund the working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $ 1,000,000 , and to pay taxes (“permitted withdrawals”)), (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest less permitted withdrawals. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under Nasdaq rules. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned (which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the holders’ 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 the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor, officers and directors are not entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor and management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Class A Ordinary Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 6 In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the Ordinary Shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Ordinary Shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. 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 other 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $ 410,097 of cash and a working capital surplus of $ 635,351 . In order to finance transaction costs in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units and the underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Additionally, to fund working capital, the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $ 1,000,000 . These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not withdraw any amounts from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had $ 1,000,000 available for permitted withdraws for the period from December 18, 2025 until December 18, 2026, which is the 1-year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2026, the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the period ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods. Emerging Growth Company Status As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, the Company 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, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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 unaudited condensed financial statement with another public company which 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. 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 $ 410,097 and $ 736,204 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and did not have any cash equivalents. 8 Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. At March 31, 2026, $ 418,017,967 was invested in U.S. Treasury Securities at an amortized cost of $ 418,094,829 and $ 676 was held in cash, for a total of $ 418,094,829 as reflected on the accompanying condensed balance sheets (see Note 9). At December 31, 2025, $ 414,429,619 was invested in U.S. Treasury Securities at an amortized cost of $ 414,549,783 and $ 676 was held in cash, for a total of $ 414,549,783 as reflected on the accompanying condensed balance sheets (see Note 9). To fund working capital, the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $ 1,000,000 . These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not withdraw any amounts from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $ 1,000,000 available for permitted withdrawals for the period from December 18, 2025 until December 18, 2026, which is the 1-year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering. 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 The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 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 Public Units between Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class A Ordinary Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption will be charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the warrants included in the Public Units and Private Placement Units are charged to shareholders’ deficit as the warrants, after management’s evaluation, are accounted for under equity treatment. Transaction costs amounted to $ 19,618,232 , consisting of $ 3,000,000 of cash underwriting fees (net of $ 3,210,000 underwriter’s reimbursement), $ 15,990,000 of deferred underwriting fees (the “Deferred Fee”) (Note 6), and $ 628,232 of other offering costs. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. 9 Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Net Income Per Ordinary Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata to the shares. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculation of diluted income per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and (iii) Private Placement, since the average price of the Ordinary Shares for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was less than the exercise price and therefore, the inclusion of such Warrants under the Treasury stock method would be anti-dilutive and the exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Warrants are exercisable to purchase 4,190,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in the aggregate. As a result, diluted net income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net income per Ordinary Share for the period presented. 10 The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share (in dollars, except per share amounts): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share Class A Class B Basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share Numerator: Allocation of net income $ 2,385,647 $ 785,726 Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding 41,900,000 13,800,000 Basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share $ 0.06 $ 0.06 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC Topic 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 statement 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 Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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. The Company’s 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 March 31, 2026 and 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. 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 completion window 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 Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, 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 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 shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026 and 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 condensed balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table: Gross proceeds $ 414,000,000 Less: Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants ( 2,028,600 ) Public Shares issuance costs ( 19,514,643 ) Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 21,543,243 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 414,000,000 Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 3,094,829 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, March 31, 2026 $ 417,094,829 11 Warrant Instruments The Company accounts for the Public and Private Warrants to be 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 value. There are 4,140,000 Public Warrants (as defined in Note 1) and 50,000 Private Warrants (as defined in Note 4) currently outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. Note 3 — Initial Public Offering Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 41,400,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit for a total of $ 414 million, which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-tenth of one warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustments (see Note 7). Note 4 — Private Placement Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 5,000,000 . Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-tenth of one warrant (each, a “Private Warrant,” together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. Each warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will not expire except upon liquidation. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). Note 5 — Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On June 4, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, $ 0.0001 par value (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), in exchange for a $ 25,000 payment (approximately $ 0.003 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company (the “Founder Shares,” including the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof). In November 2025, the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor by way of a share capitalization, resulting in the total number of issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares increasing to 11,500,000 . In December 2025, the Company, through a share capitalization, issued the Sponsor an additional 2,300,000 Founder Shares, for which the Sponsor now holds 13,800,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate. All share and per share data has been retrospectively presented. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Public Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination (with such conversion taking place immediately prior to, simultaneously with, or immediately following the time of the initial Business Combination , as may be determined by the directors of the Company) or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor will not be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the Sponsor will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by it. 12 The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (the date on which the Company consummates a transaction which results in the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities, or other property subject to certain limited exceptions). Promissory Note — Related Party On June 4, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 600,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the date on which the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering. The Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of $ 356,062 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Borrowings under the note are no longer available. Administrative Support Agreement Commencing on the date of the securities of the Company are first listed, December 17, 2025, the Company agreed to reimburse the managing member of the Sponsor in an amount equal to $ 30,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred and paid $ 90,000 in fees for these services. Director Agreement On March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a director agreement with each of its independent directors, pursuant to which, in connection with each director’s continuing service as a director of the Company, the Company agreed to pay each director cash compensation of $ 75,000 per annum, beginning on April 1, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, no fees were incurred for these services. Working Capital Loans In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. 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 Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities) and Units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and their underlying securities), if any, and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares held by the initial shareholders at the completion of the Initial Public Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the initial Business Combination, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands and have “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. 13 Underwriter’s Agreement The Company granted the underwriter 45 -day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 5,400,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On December 18, 2025, the underwriter elected to fully exercise their Over-Allotment Option to purchase an additional 5,400,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.15 per Unit, $ 6,210,000 which was paid to the underwriter upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter paid the Company an aggregate amount of $ 3,210,000 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering as reimbursement to the Company for certain of its expenses and fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriter is entitled to a Deferred Fee of $ 15,990,000 , of which (x) $ 14,490,000 was placed in the Trust Account located in the United States and released to the underwriter only upon the completion of an initial Business Combination and (y) $ 1,500,000 which will be payable to the underwriter from funds available outside the Trust Account upon the announcement that the Company has entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement. Legal Fees On March 25, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement for legal services. All fees related to the agreement are contingent upon the completion of a Business Combination. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, in addition to payment of incurred fees, the Company will pay a premium ranging from 50 % to 100 % of the fees incurred, with the percentage paid to be determined at the discretion of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has incurred $ 235,000 of fees in connection with the agreement. These fees are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements and will be recorded when the Business Combination is considered probable. Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit Preference Shares The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2026 and 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 per share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, excluding 41,400,000 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 per share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 13,800,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which included an aggregate of up to 1,800,000 shares subject to forfeiture if the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised by the underwriter in full. As a result of the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option by the underwriter, the 1,800,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Warrants As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 4,140,000 Public Warrants and 50,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the (i) Public Warrant Agreement, dated December 16, 2025, which the Company entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as Public Warrant agent and (ii) Private Warrant Agreement, dated December 16, 2025, which the Company entered into with Continental, as Private Placement Warrant agent ((i) and (ii) together, the “Warrant Agreements”), a warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. 14 Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen ( 15 ) business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially best efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a new registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the Public Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the applicable warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Public Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of 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, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Redemption of Public Warrants for cash when the price per Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 . Beginning 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash: ● In whole and not in part; ● At a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant; ● Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and ● if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Company will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout such 30 trading day period and the 30 -day redemption period. The Private Placement Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are non-redeemable. The Private Placement Warrants may also be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis.” The Private Warrants do not expire except upon liquidation. Note 8 — 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 for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. 15 The Company’s CODMs have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer , who review the operating results 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 operating segment. The CODMs assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODMs reviews several key metrics, which include the following: March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Cash $ 410,097 $ 736,204 Marketable securities and cash held in Trust Account $ 418,094,829 $ 414,549,783 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 General and administrative costs $ 373,673 Interest earned on marketable securities and cash held in Trust Account $ 3,545,046 The CODMs review interest earned on marketable securities and cash held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement. General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODMs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Business Combination period. The CODMs also review 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 accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODMs on a regular basis. All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures. Note 9 — 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). 16 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. As of March 31, 2026, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 676 in cash and $ 418,017,967 invested in U.S. Treasury Bills. Amortized Cost Unrealized Loss Fair Value March 31, 2026 U.S. Treasury Securities (Mature on 4/14/26 and 6/18/26 ) $ 418,094,153 $ ( 76,186 ) $ 418,017,967 As of December 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 676 in cash and $ 414,429,619 invested in U.S. Treasury Bills. Amortized Cost Unrealized Loss Fair Value December 31, 2025 U.S. Treasury Securities (Mature on 4/14/26 and 6/18/26 ) $ 414,549,106 $ ( 119,487 ) $ 414,429,619 Note 10 — Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than the below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements. On April 16, 2026, the Company withdrew $ 1,000,000 from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. 17 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements.” Overview We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 4, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Churchill Sponsor XI LLC. 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 a target in an industry where we believe our Management Team and founder’s expertise will provide us with a competitive advantage. 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 December 16, 2025. On December 18, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Public Units, including 5,400,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-tenth of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $414,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $5,000,000. 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 $414,000,000 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 of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental 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 December 18, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 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 net of Permitted Withdrawals, 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. 18 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 shareholders, and our Public Shareholders 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. Recent Developments On April 16, 2026, we withdrew $1,000,000 from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Results of Operations We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since June 4, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net income of $3,171,373, which consists of interest income on marketable securities and cash held in the Trust Account of $3,545,046, offset by general and administrative costs of $373,673. 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 $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $19,618,232, consisting of $3,000,000 (net of $3,210,000 Underwriter’s reimbursement) of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $15,990,000 and $628,232 of other offering costs. As of March 31, 2026, we had $410,097 of cash in our operating account. As of March 31, 2026, we had a working capital of $635,351. As of March 31, 2026, $4,094,829 of the amount earned on funds held in the Trust Account was available for Permitted Withdrawals. As of March 31, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $418,094,829 (including approximately $4,094,829 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account for Permitted Withdrawals. 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 any Permitted Withdrawals 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 March 31, 2026, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $410,097. 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. 19 Our liquidity needs through March 31, 2026 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. IPO Promissory Note Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $600,000 under the IPO 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 December 31, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $356,062 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on December 18, 2025. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO 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 intend to 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 will 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. Such 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 March 31, 2026, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2026, we had sufficient funds for our working capital needs until a minimum of one year from the date of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. We cannot assure our shareholders that our plan to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. We do not believe that we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot assure our shareholders that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets. 20 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 Support Agreement Commencing on December 18, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of our the Sponsor $30,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred $90,000 in fees for these services. Director Agreement On March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a director agreement with each of its independent directors, pursuant to which, in connection with each director’s continuing service as a director of the Company, the Company agreed to pay each director cash compensation of $75,000 per annum, beginning on April 1, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not incur fees for these services. Underwriting Agreement We granted the Underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 5,400,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 16, 2025, the Underwriter fully exercised its Over-Allotment Option. The Underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $3,000,000 (after deduction of $3,210,000 of Underwriter’s reimbursement). Additionally, the Underwriter is entitled to payment of the Deferred Fee of $15,990,000 upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. 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 (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. 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 in connection with Permitted Withdrawals, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. 21 Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers have agreed that: (x) the Founder Shares shall be subject to a transfer restrictions of the earlier of (i) six months after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of our initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property; (y) the Private Placement Units (including their underlying securities) shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination; and (z) Any Units, Warrants, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares or Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days. Critical Accounting Estimates We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies. See our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report for additional information regarding these critical accounting policies and other significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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. Using a valuation, the Company estimated the fair value of the Public Warrants as of the Initial Public Offering. Other than estimating the value of the Public Warrants, we did not have any other critical accounting estimates as of March 31, 2026. Warrant Instruments We account for Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the Warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to our own Ordinary Shares and whether the Warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of Warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each condensed balance sheet date thereafter. Accordingly, we evaluated and classified the Warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value. 22 Net Income Per Ordinary Share We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income applicable to shareholders by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the applicable periods. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per Ordinary Share and allocate net income pro rata to Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, nonredeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value is not in excess of the fair value. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements.” Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item. Item 4. 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 March 31, 2026. 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. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 23 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such, or against any of our property. Item 1A. Risk Factors. As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, f or detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement and (ii) 2025 Annual Report. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors . Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. The share price of the post-Business Combination company may be less than the Redemption Price (as defined below) of our Public Shares. Each Public Unit sold in our Initial Public Offering at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-tenth of one Public Warrant. Of the proceeds we received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $414,000,000 was placed in our Trust Account. We will provide our Public Shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, and potentially upon the occurrence of certain other events prior to our initial Business Combination. We expect that the pro rata redemption price in any redemption will be approximately $10.07 per Public Share as of March 31, 2026 (after adjustment for Permitted Withdrawls but before taxes payable, if any, and such amount, the “Redemption Price”), representing a pro rata portion of our Trust Account without taking into account any interest or other income earned on such funds (less any withdrawals from such interest or income for taxes paid), although the Redemption Price may be less in certain circumstances. As a result, Public Shareholders who own our Public Shares on a redemption date can anticipate receiving the Redemption Price in connection with a redemption for each Public Share that they choose to redeem. There can be no assurance that, after our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders would be able to sell their shares in the post-Business Combination company for the Redemption Price, or any higher price. We have not, as yet, identified a target and are therefore unable to provide any assurances as to its financial condition, business prospects or potential risks. It is therefore possible that the share price of the post-Business Combination company may decline below the Redemption Price. In recent years, the share prices of many post-Business Combination companies have fallen following a Business Combination. As a result, if our Public Shareholders continue to hold shares in the post-Business Combination company following our initial Business Combination, we cannot assure our shareholders that the trading price of such shares will be greater than the Redemption Price. Certain agreements related to the Initial Public Offering may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval. Certain of the agreements related to the Initial Public Offering to which we are a party may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval. Such agreements include the (i) Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the Letter Agreement, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement and (iv) the Administrative Support Agreement. These agreements contain various provisions that our Public Shareholders might deem to be material. For example, our Letter Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement contain certain lock-up provisions with respect to the Founder Shares and other securities held by our Sponsor, officers and directors, subject to certain exceptions. Amendments or waivers to such agreements would require the consent of the applicable parties thereto and, in certain cases, the consent of the Underwriter of the Initial Public Offering. Any such modification, such as an amendment to shorten lock-up restrictions, may benefit our Sponsor, officers and/or directors. Any such amendments would not require approval from our shareholders, may result in the completion of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible, and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. For example, although we would not amend lock-up provisions to permit securities held by our Sponsor to be freely sold prior to our initial Business Combination, we may amend such provisions to permit them to be freely sold after the Business Combination earlier than they would otherwise be permitted, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our securities. 24 Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by the Report. Use of Proceeds There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by this Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 5 of our 2025 Annual Report. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by this Report. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. None. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. Item 5. Other Information.
