9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to inadequate segregation
of duties within accounting processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, financial
reporting, and bookkeeping at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

Past
performance of our management team or their respective affiliates is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business
combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination.
You should not rely on the historical performance record of our management team or their affiliates as indicative of our future performance.
Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest with other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations
with respect to initial business combination opportunities. For a list of our officers and directors and entities for which a conflict
of interest may or does exist between such persons and us, as well as the priority and preference that such entity has with respect to
performance of obligations and presentation of business opportunities to us, please refer to the table and subsequent explanatory paragraph
under “Management — Conflicts of Interest.”
Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board consists of seven (7) members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year,
and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term.
Prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on
the appointment and removal of directors or continuing the company in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands (including any
ordinary resolution required to amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result
of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands). Holders of our public shares
will not be entitled to vote on such matters during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association relating to these rights of holders of Class B ordinary shares may be amended by a ordinary resolution passed by the
affirmative vote of the holders representing at least 90% of the issued Class B ordinary shares. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate
governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following
our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, which consists of Luisa Ingargiola, Jeffrey Tullman and Kevin
McGurn will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, which consists of George
Kollitides and Benjamin Piggott, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors,
which consists of David Boral and John Darwin, will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Our
officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms
of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association.
17
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
rules require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent
director” is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship
with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the
company). We have four “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq rules and applicable SEC rules. Our board of directors
expects to determine that Luisa Ingargiola, Jeffrey Tullman, George Kollitides, and Kevin McGurn are “independent directors”
as defined in Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at
which only independent directors are present.
Executive
Officer and Director Compensation
As
of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, none of our officers has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us.
Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination
and our liquidation, we will pay an affiliate of our sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative
and support services provided to us and members of our management team. Our sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of theirs,
will be entitled to certain payments including, but not limited to, reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
We may pay cash compensation to our independent directors for services rendered to us. Additionally, we may pay consulting, success,
advisory, or finder’s fees to our sponsor, our officers or directors, our advisors, or affiliates thereof in connection with the
consummation of our initial business combination. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to
our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made
from funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have any
additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting
or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in
the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business
combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or
members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination,
because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any
compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
We
have two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules, the rules of Nasdaq and
Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent
directors. Each committee operates under a charter that was approved by our board and as the composition and responsibilities described
below.
18
Audit
Committee
Luisa
Ingargiola, George Kollitides and Jeffrey Tullman will serve as the members of our audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards
and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Luisa Ingargiola,
George Kollitides and Jeffrey Tullman are each independent.
Luisa
Ingargiola serves as the chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of
directors has determined that Luisa Ingargiola qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable
SEC rules.
We
have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● assisting
board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting
firm’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal
audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; the appointment, compensation,
retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other
independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
● pre-approving all
audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting
firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies
and procedures; reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting
firm all relationships the independent registered public accounting firm have with us in
order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public
accounting firm describing (1) the independent registered public accounting firm’s
internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most
recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent registered
public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional
authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits
carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● meeting
to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements
with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including reviewing
our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” ; reviewing and approving any
related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated
by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
● reviewing
with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors,
as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence
with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that
raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant
changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation
Committee
The
members of our compensation committee will be George Kollitides, Jeffrey Tullman, and Kevin McGurn. George Kollitides serves as chair
of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation committee
of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. George Kollitides, Jeffrey Tullman, and Kevin McGurn are each independent.
We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
● reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our chief
executive officer’s compensation, evaluating our chief executive officer’s performance
in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if
any) of our chief executive officer based on such evaluation;
● reviewing
and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and
any incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval of all
of our other officers;
19
● reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit
arrangements for our executive officers and employees;
● producing
a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
● reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The
charter will also provide that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation
consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work
of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other
adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and
the SEC.
Director
Nominations
We
do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required
to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605I(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors
may recommend a director nominee for selection by our board of directors. Our board of directors believes that the independent directors
can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing
nominating committee. The directors who participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Luisa Ingargiola,
Jeffrey Tullman, George Kollitides and Kevin McGurn. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors
are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
The
board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are
seeking proposed nominees to stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting).
Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for appointment to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in
our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
We
have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of
professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent
the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right
to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of our executive officers currently serves, in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that
has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.
Clawback
Policy
We
have adopted a compensation recovery policy that is compliant with Nasdaq listing rules as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
20
Code
of Ethics
We
have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other
than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision
of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller
or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable SEC or Nasdaq rules, we will disclose the nature of such
amendment or waiver on our website.
Conflicts
of Interest
Under
British Virgin Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties: duty to act in good faith in what the director
or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
● duty
to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral
purpose;
● duty
to not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
● duty
to exercise authority for the purpose for which it is conferred and a duty to exercise powers
fairly as between different sections of shareholders;
● duty
not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the
company and their personal interests; and
● duty
to exercise independent judgment.
In
addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement
to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person

As
set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing,
or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position at the expense of the company. However, in some instances what would otherwise
be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the
directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder
approval at general meetings.
Each
of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations
or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination
opportunity to such entities. In particular, David Boral and John Darwin serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
respectively, and as directors together with Luisa Ingargiola, of D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp., a BVI special purpose acquisition
company that is currently in the process of completing its initial business combination. Each of Mr. Boral, Mr. Darwin and
Ms. Ingargiola owes fiduciary duties under BVI law to D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp. In addition, Mr. McGurn is the chief executive
officer and a director of Yorkville Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands special purpose acquisition company that is currently in the
process of completing its initial business combination. Mr. McGurn owes fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law to Yorkville Acquisition
Corp. Mr. McGurn also serves as the chief executive officer and chairman of New America Acquisition I Corp. and Ms. Ingargiola serves
as a director of the company. Mr. McGurn and Ms. Ingargiola owe fiduciary duties under Florida law to New America Acquisition I
Corp. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity
to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, including D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp., Yorkville Acquisition
Corp. and New America Acquisition I Corp., he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business
combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under British Virgin Islands law. Our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) no individual serving as a director
or an officer, among other persons, shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging
directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest
or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which (a) may be a corporate
opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other or (b) the presentation of which would breach an
existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other entity. As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations
of our officers or directors could materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Other than D. Boral ARC
Acquisition I Corp., Yorkville Acquisition Corp. and New America Acquisition I Corp., because the other entities to which our officers
and directors owe fiduciary duties or contractual obligations are not themselves in the business of engaging in business combinations,
we do not believe that the fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties of our officers or directors, or of any affiliates of
our initial shareholders, or policies applicable to any affiliates of our initial shareholders, will materially affect our ability to
complete our initial business combination.
22
In
addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours
or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result,
our sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities
to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments
may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target, which could materially affect our ability
to complete our initial business combination.
Potential
investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
● Our
officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs,
which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations
and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to
have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.
Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled
to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific
number of hours per week to our affairs.
● Our
initial shareholders purchased founder shares prior to the closing of our initial public
offering and purchased private units in a transaction that closed simultaneously with the
closing of our initial public offering. Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered
into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption
rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection
with the completion of our initial business combination. Additionally, our sponsor, officers
and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust
account with respect to their founder shares and the private shares if we fail to complete
our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, although they will be
entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account. If we do not
complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, the private units
will expire worthless. Furthermore, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to
transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion thereof until the completion of our initial business combination.
Because each of our officers directors will own ordinary shares or warrants directly or indirectly,
they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business
is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
● our
sponsor and members of our management team directly or indirectly own our securities, and
accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target
business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
Our sponsor invested in us an aggregate of $2,025,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase
price for the founder shares (or approximately $0.002 per share) and the $2,000,000 purchase
price for the private units (or $10.00 per unit), which may be exercised on a cashless basis.
Accordingly, our management team, which owns interests in our sponsor, may be more willing
to pursue a business combination with a riskier or less-established target business
than would be the case if our sponsor had paid the same per share price for the founder shares
as our public shareholders paid for their public shares and if our sponsor were required
to pay cash to exercise the private warrants.
23
● certain
members of our management team may receive compensation upon consummation of our initial
business combination, and accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate
our initial business combination as such compensation will not be received unless we consummate
such business combination.
● Our
officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular
business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was
included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial
business combination.
● In
the event our sponsor or members of our management team provide loans to us to finance transaction
costs and/or incur expenses on our behalf in connection with an initial business combination,
such persons may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business
is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination as such
loans may not be repaid and/or such expenses may not be reimbursed unless we consummate such
business combination.
● Similarly,
if we agree to pay our sponsor or a member of our management team a finder’s fee, advisory
fee, consulting fee or success fee in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business
combination, such persons may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular
target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business
combination as any such fee may not be paid unless we consummate such business combination.
● We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated
with our sponsor, officers or directors, or completing the business combination through a
joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors;
accordingly, such affiliated person(s) may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate
our initial business combination as such affiliated person(s) would have interests different
from our public shareholders and would likely not receive any financial benefit unless we
consummated such business combination.
We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors,
or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors.
In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association) with our sponsor (including its members), officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent
directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation
opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial
point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Prior
to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the company to our sponsor, officers
or directors, advisor, or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services
they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business
combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account.
We
cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
In
the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor, officers and directors
have agreed to vote their founder shares and private shares, and they and the other members of our management team have agreed to vote
their founder shares, private shares and any shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination,
aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would
not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction.
24
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
British
Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification
of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to
public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing
a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified
by us to the fullest extent permitted by law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, including for any liability incurred
in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We expect to purchase a policy
of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement
or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our
officers and directors have agreed, and any persons who may become officers or directors prior to the initial business combination will
agree, to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and to waive any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not
seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be
satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our
indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their
fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and
directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors
pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We
believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced
officers and directors.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
ITEM
11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Employment
Agreements
We
have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon
termination of employment.
25
Officer
and Director Compensation
None
of our officers has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on February 10, 2026, we agreed to pay our
sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of our initial
business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s
fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to our sponsor, officers and directors,
or any affiliate of our sponsor or officers, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation
of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed
for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and
performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were
made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will
be made using funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to
have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting
or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in
the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business
combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or
members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination,
because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation
to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee
constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

ITEM
13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On
April 3, 2025, our Sponsor purchased, and the Company issued to the Sponsor, 12,321,429 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase
price of $25,000.
Our
Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 200,000 private units at $10.00 per private unit (for a total purchase price of $2,000,000). These
purchases of private units took place as a private placement simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the public
units.
Prior
to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the company to our sponsor, officers
or directors, advisor, or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services
they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business
combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account.
Promissory
Note – Related Party
On
October 8, 2025, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate
principal amount of $350,000, to be used for payment of costs related to the Proposed Offering. The note is non-interest bearing and
payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025,
the Company has borrowed $167,129 under the promissory note with our Sponsor. On February 12, 2026, the Company has repaid the outstanding balance under
the promissory note with the Sponsor out of the $700,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated for the payment of offering expenses.
Administrative
Services Arrangement
An
affiliate of our Sponsor has agreed, commencing from the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on Nasdaq, through
the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company our Sponsor
certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support as may be reasonably required by the Company. The Company
has agreed to pay to the affiliate of our Sponsor, $20,000 per month, for up to 18 months, subject to extension to up to 21 months, as
provided in the Company’s registration statement, for such administrative services. For the period from April 3, 2025 (inception)
to December 31, 2025, $0 was charged to operations and no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2025.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s 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”). Up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option
of the applicable lender. In the event that a 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. As of December 31, 2025, no amounts under such loans have been drawn.
Representative
Shares
On
February 12, 2026, the Company issued 2,000,000 representative shares to D. Boral Capital, LLC and/or its designees as part of representative
compensation (the “Representative Shares”). The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore
subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of our IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1).
Pursuant to this FINRA lock-up, these securities cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or the subject of any
hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person
for a period of 180 days from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering except as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2),
including to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their officers or partners, registered
persons or affiliates. The Representative Shares have resale registration rights including two demand (one at the Company’s expense
and one at D. Boral Capital, LLC’s expense) and unlimited “piggy-back” rights for periods of five and seven years,
respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering.
28
Any
of the foregoing payments to our sponsor, repayments of loans from our sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial
business combination will be made using funds held outside the trust account.
After
our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees
from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy
solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation
will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial
business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director
compensation.
We
have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the founder shares, representative shares and private units.
As
described herein, each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual
or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present
a business combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination
opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will
honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity, subject
to their fiduciary duties under British Virgin Islands law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer, among other persons, shall have any duty,
except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business
activities or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate
in, any potential transaction or matter which (a) may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us,
on the other or (b) the presentation of which would breach an existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other entity.
As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors could materially affect our ability to complete
our initial business combination.
Related
Party Policy
The
audit committee of our board of directors have adopted a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval
or ratification of “related party transactions.” A “related party transaction” is any consummated or proposed
transaction or series of transactions: (i) in which the company was or is to be a participant; (ii) the amount of which exceeds (or is
reasonably expected to exceed) the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the company’s total assets at year-end for the prior
two completed fiscal years in the aggregate over the duration of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss); and (iii) in which
a “related party” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related parties” under this
policy include: (i) our directors, nominees for director or officers or any person who has served in such roles since the beginning of
the most recent fiscal year, even if he or she does not currently serve in that role; (ii) any record or beneficial owner of more than
5% of any class of our voting securities; (iii) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing if the foregoing person is a natural
person; and (iv) any other person who maybe a “related person” pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange
Act. Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction,
including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated
third party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction contravenes our
code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship underlying the transaction to be in the
best interests of the company and its shareholders and (v) if the related party is a director or an immediate family member of a director,
the effect that the transaction may have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or her eligibility
to serve on the board’s committees. Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including
all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit
committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy will not permit
any director or officer to participate in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she
is the related party.
29
We
are not prohibited from paying any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our sponsor, officers or directors,
or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination,
including the following payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from
funds held outside the trust account:
● Repayment
of up to an aggregate of $350,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related
and organizational expenses;
●
reimbursement for office
space, utilities and secretarial, and administrative support services made available to us by an affiliate of our sponsor, in an
amount equal to $20,000 per month;
●
Payment of consulting,
success or finder fees to our independent directors, advisor, or their respective affiliates in connection with the consummation
of our initial business combination;
●
We may engage our sponsor
or an affiliate of our sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial business combination and certain other transactions
and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable transactions;
●
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket
expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination; and
●
Repayment of loans which
may be made by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in
connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units of
the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the applicable lender. Such units would be identical
to the private units. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to such loans.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
D.
Boral Acquisition I Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of D. Boral Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and
the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from April 3, 2025 (inception)
through December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
D.
Boral Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a BVI exempted company on April 3, 2025.
The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition
opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, the Company intends to identify and acquire a business where
the Company believes the Company’s management teams’ and the Company’s affiliates’ expertise will provide the
Company with a competitive advantage, including technology, healthcare and logistics industries.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2025 related to the Company’s
formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on
cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal
year end. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated
with early stage and emerging growth companies.
On
February 12, 2026, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 28,750,000 units (the “Public Units” and, with
respect to the Class A ordinary shares and public warrants included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”, and “Public
Warrants”, respectively), including 3,750,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.
The Units were sold at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 287,500,000 (the “Public Proceeds”).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 200,000 Units (the “Private Units”)
at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, D. Boral Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”)
generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 2,000,000 .
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 6,027,544 , consisting of underwriter’s commission of $ 100,000 , fair value of representative shares of $ 4,930,670
and $ 996,874 of other offering costs.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more
operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined
below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and Permitted Withdrawals on the interest income earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns
or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in
the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business
Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering,
including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and
invested 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, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing
solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined
by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in
the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
F- 7
The
Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek
shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be
entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.00
per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account), net of taxes payable for the Company’s franchise and income
taxes or funds for working capital requirements (“Permitted Withdrawals”). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion
of a Business Combination with respect to the Private Placement Warrants. The Public 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 Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If
the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the
Company receives an ordinary resolution under BVI law approving a Business Combination, which requires a resolution be passed by a majority
of the holders of the Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the “Class A ordinary shares”) and the Class B
ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the “Class B ordinary shares,” and together with the Class A ordinary shares,
the “ordinary shares”) as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company, or such
other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing
requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to
its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially
the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company
seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in
Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination.
Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether
they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination and waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection
with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant
to the tender offer rules, the Articles provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other
person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares
with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The
Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection
with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the
Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholder’s rights
or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment.
If
the Company has not completed a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to
21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by
the full amount of time) (the “Combination Period”), the Company 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 100 % of the outstanding
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 and not previously released to pay the Permitted Withdrawals, if any (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights
of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders
and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under BVI law to provide
for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions
with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period.
F- 8
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will
receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its
respective affiliates acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating
distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent
any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per
Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share due
to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third
party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or
not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial
Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor
to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has it independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy
its indemnity obligations, and we believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company
cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against
the Trust Account, the funds available for the Company’s initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less
than $ 10.00 per Public Share. In such event, the Company may not be able to complete its initial Business Combination, and the Public
Shareholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of their Public Shares. None of the Company’s
officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective
target businesses.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new
or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement
declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or
revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company
has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the
extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
F- 9
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. 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 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.
Related
Parties
Parties,
which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control
the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
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.
As of December 31, 2025, cash was $ 25,000 . The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Deferred
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 Proposed
Offering. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 Proposed Offering proceeds from the Public Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the
residual method by allocating Proposed 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 Warrants will be charged to
stockholder’s equity as the warrants, after management’s evaluation, will be accounted for under equity treatment. Should
the Proposed Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged
to operations. As of December 31, 2025 the Company had deferred offering costs of $ 135,954 .
Income
Taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” 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.
F- 10
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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 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 subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since
inception.
There
is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the BVI. In accordance with BVI income tax regulations, income taxes
are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted
for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion
of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
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
Net Loss
per Ordinary Share
Net
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding
ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 1,607,143 Class B
ordinary shares held by the Sponsor that are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the over-allotment option is
exercised by the underwriters (see Note 7). At December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts
that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted
loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to 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.
F- 11
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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which
requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of the inception
of the Company. As of December 31, 2025, the Company reported its operations as a single reportable segment, noting no disaggregation
of Company activities, management or allocation of resources by geographic region, business activity or organizational method, thus this
new guidance does not affect the disclosures. See Note 9 for further information.
NOTE
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 28,750,000 Units (including or 3,750,000 Units as a result of the
underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit). Each Unit will consist of
one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant
entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor, in a private placement, purchased an aggregate of 200,000 Private Units
at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit from the Company. Each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of
one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share, as described in (Note 8). The proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination 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), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the
completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
April 3, 2025, the Sponsor received 12,321,429 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”)
in exchange for a payment of $ 25,000 . Up to 1,607,143 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor are subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof
depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will
collectively represent 28.9 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
As the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised, no shares were forfeited by the Sponsor.
The
founder shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary shares
included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, and holders of founder shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders,
except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the founder
shares are entitled to registration rights; (iii) the initial stockholders, officers, directors and members of the advisory board, pursuant
to a letter agreement with the Company, and the representative of the underwriters, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, have agreed
to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with the completion
of the initial business combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public
shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated articles of incorporation (a) to modify
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or
to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or
(b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity,
(C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private shares if
the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial
business combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account and (D) vote any
founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and
privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase
in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination
transaction), (iv) the founder shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following
the consummation of the initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment
as described herein and in the amended and restated articles of incorporation, and (v) prior to the closing of the initial business combination,
only holders of shares of Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors.
F- 12
With
certain limited exceptions, the founder shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to officers and directors and other
persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the completion
of the initial business combination.
Unsecured
Promissory Note
The
Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $ 350,000 under an unsecured promissory note to be used for a portion of the expenses of
the Initial Public Offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due upon the earlier of June 30, 2026, the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, or an earlier event of default. As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 167,129 outstanding under
such promissory note. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the promissory note was paid in full.
Administrative
Services Arrangement
The
Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s
consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a monthly fee of $ 20,000 for office
space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. As of December 31, 2025, such arrangements had not been executed, and the
Company did not incur any fees for these services.
Working
Capital Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain
of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of
a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 2,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion
of a Business Combination into units at a price of $ 10.00 per units. Such units would be identical to the Private Units. In the event
that a 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. As of December 31, 2025, there
was no amount outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
NOTE
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the (i) founder shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii)
Private Units (including the component securities as well as the securities underlying those component securities), which were issued
in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iii) private units (including the component
securities as well as the securities underlying those component securities) that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans
will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them and any other securities
of the company acquired by them prior to the consummation of a Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be
signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three
demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. The registration
rights granted to the underwriters are limited to no more than two demands and unlimited “piggy-back” rights for periods
of five and seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements, except that, with respect to the representatives of the underwriters,
the Company will only bear such expenses on one occasion.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriter a 45 -day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units at the Initial Public
Offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option on February 12, 2026.
The
underwriter received a fixed cash underwriting discount of $ 100,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
In
addition, the underwriter received 2,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, for no consideration upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

NOTE
7. SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY
Preferred
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 December
31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class
A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders
of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2025, there were no Class
A shares issued or outstanding.
Class B
Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001
per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 12,321,429
Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Up to 1,607,143 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor are subject to forfeiture by
the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of
Founder Shares will collectively represent 28.9 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial
Public Offering. As the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised, no shares were forfeited by the Sponsor.
Only
holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the Business Combination.
Holders of ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders
except as otherwise required by law. In connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, it may enter into a shareholders
agreement or other arrangements with the shareholders of the target or other investors to provide for voting or other corporate governance
arrangements that differ from those in effect upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The
Founder Shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and will automatically convert at a ratio of one-for-one into Class A
ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have redemption rights or be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination) at the time of the
Company’s initial Business Combination.
NOTE
8. WARRANTS
There
were no warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional
warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable
on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of
the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier
upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary share pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no
obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance
of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those
Class A ordinary shares is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid
exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be
obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is
registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration
is available.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination,
the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to
have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary share is 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 Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required
to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares
under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
F- 14
Redemption
of Warrants When the Price per Class A ordinary share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable,
the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
● in
whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30 -day redemption period to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 10 trading days within a 20 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If
the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described in this paragraph, its management will have the option to require any holder
that wishes to exercise their warrant following the notice of redemption to do so on a cashless basis. In the case of such a cashless
exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants,
multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value.
The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A
ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent
to the holders of the public warrants. If its management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information
necessary to calculate the number of Class A ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair
market value” in such case.
The
Company has established the $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted) redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there
is at the time of the call a significant premium to the public warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and
the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or
its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the
$ 18.00 redemption trigger price, as well as the $ 11.50 Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising
purposes in connection with the closing of its initial business combination at less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with
such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by its board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance
to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable,
prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more
than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of its initial Business Combination on the date
of the completion of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of
Class A ordinary shares during the 20 day trading period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the
Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then the
exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the greater of the Market Value and
the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be
equal to 180 % of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except
that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants
will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain
limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cash or cashless basis and be non-redeemable,
except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

NOTE
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
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 maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews 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.
When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics
included in total assets:

NOTE
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure
of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statement is issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions
that occurred up to the date of filing. Based upon this review, except as noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events
that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement other than those listed below.
On
February 12, 2026, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 28,750,000 units (the “Public Units”), including
3,750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one
Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”),
with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. The Units were sold at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $ 287,500,000 .
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private placement of 200,000 units (the “Private Units”)
to D. Boral Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 2,000,000 .
Each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase
one Class A ordinary share.
Transaction
costs associated with the Initial Public Offering totaled $ 6,027,544 , consisting of $ 100,000 of underwriting commissions, $ 4,930,670
representing the fair value of representative shares issued to the underwriter, and $ 996,874 of other offering costs.
The underwriter received 2,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares, for no consideration upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
A
total of $ 287,500,000 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the private placement was deposited into a trust account.
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering, the promissory note was paid in full.
Commencing
on February 25, 2026, the holders of the Public Units issued in the Initial Public Offering may elect to separately trade the Class A
Ordinary Shares and the Warrants included in the Units.
