“Financial Statements”.

We are a blank check company incorporated on July 25, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination.

We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our Ordinary Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination (pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter), Ordinary Shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.

We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

We may seek to extend the combination period, which is the 24-month period from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to December 16, 2026, that we have to consummate an initial Business Combination (“Combination Period”), consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Charter.

Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval.

We cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

We may seek to extend the Completion Window consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Charter.

Such an amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval.

Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq.

In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the requirement pursuant to the Nasdaq rules that a SPAC must complete one or more Business Combinations within 36 months following the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement (the “Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement”).

In addition, the continued listing rules of Nasdaq, as they exist as of the date of the Report (the “Nasdaq Rules”), currently require special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), such as us, to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the requirement pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules that a SPAC must complete one or more Business Combinations within 36 months following the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement (the “Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement”).

If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.

ThomasLloyd Business Combination

On February 27, 2026, we, ThomasLloyd, and each of the ThomasLloyd Shareholders, entered into the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement.

PubCo and Merger Sub will become parties to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement following the formation of PubCo.

The ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the ThomasLloyd Business Combination were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of our Company and ThomasLloyd.

The ThomasLloyd Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of our shareholders and the ThomasLloyd Shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

The ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that at least one day prior to the share exchange described below, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the Surviving Company after the Merger and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.

As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, other than the Roman Dissenting Shares will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, and each issued and outstanding Roman Warrant will become one PubCo Warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, with PubCo issuing a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in accordance with the terms of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement.

At least one day following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ThomasLloyd from the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by PubCo of new ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, consisting of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, PubCo will issue to the Sellers in the aggregate, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, with an aggregate value up to an amount equal to the relevant portion of the Share Exchange Aggregate Consideration (as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, based on an equity value of $850,000,000), with PubCo allotting and issuing to each Seller, for each ThomasLloyd ordinary share held, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Allocation Schedule (each as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement).

On May 6, 2026 we entered into an agreement with Lucid in connection with the proposed private placement, backstop financing, or other financing of the Company’s equity, equity-linked, convertible debt, or straight debt securities as it relates to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement.

In consideration for the services described above, Lucid shall be entitled to receive, and the Company agrees to pay Lucid, the following compensation:

Offering Fee.

If the Company completes an Offering, the Company shall pay Lucid a fee equal to 6% of gross proceeds raised.

The Offering Fee shall be paid on gross proceeds raised if an Offering is consummated during the term or a definitive agreement, letter of intent, or other evidence of commitment is entered into during the Term which subsequently results in an Offering being consummated within 12 months following expiration of this Agreement.

The Offering Fee shall be paid in cash by wire transfer as soon as reasonably practicable simultaneously with the release of, and from the proceeds of, the Offering.

Strategic Advisory Fee.

The Company shall pay Lucid a fee equal to 3% of the aggregate consideration or equity value of any strategic transaction entered into with any party introduced to the Company by Lucid during the Term.

Such strategic transaction shall include, without limitation, any strategic investment in the Company (other than as part of an Offering), any investment by the Company in or together with such party or in any asset or venture with such party, or any other partnership, joint venture, licensing, commercial, distribution, development, marketing or similar strategic relationship.

Such Strategic Advisory Fee shall be due and payable in the same form of consideration in which the strategic transaction is consummated (e.g.

cash, Company shares or any combination thereof), as soon as reasonably practicable following the closing or consummation of the applicable strategic transaction (or, if there are multiple closings, pro rata at each closing based on the value consummated at such closing) and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Offering Fee.

Sharing of Economics.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lucid shall be permitted to pay to one or more co-managers or joint agents, to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Lucid, an amount up to 30% of the aggregate compensation paid or payable to Lucid under Paragraph 5a.

The payment of such amount shall be the sole responsibility of Lucid and shall not increase the aggregate compensation payable by the Company under Paragraph 5a.

The Company may engage additional financial institutions, including international investment banks, in connection with the placement of the Securities, specifically to access international investors.

The Company and Lucid shall work in good faith to agree on a commercially reasonable allocation of economics among the participating institutions, consistent with customary market practice.

Neither party shall be required to accept any allocation that is not

commercially reasonable, and any such allocation shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and Lucid, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

On May 13, 2026, the Company engaged Berenberg and Lucid to act as a placement agent in connection with a proposed private placement, whether in one or a series of offerings, of equity or equity-related securities of a newly formed entity that will be the ultimate parent of the Company, the proceeds of which ultimately will be used to fund the ThomasLloyd Business Combination.

The fees payable to Berenberg and Lucid for acting as Co-Placement Agents in connection with the Offering shall be a total of 6.00% of the aggregate price at which the Securities are sold by the Company (the “Aggregate Sales Price”), which fee shall be divided as follows:

(i) for gross proceeds received from investors domiciled in the United States, 70% to Lucid and 30% to Berenberg, (ii) for gross proceeds received from investors domiciled in Europe (including but not limited to the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area), 30% to Lucid and 70% to Berenberg, and (iii) for gross proceeds received from all other investors, 50% to Lucid and 50% to Berenberg.

In the event the Company engages one or more additional investment banks to serve as co-placement agents for the Company, the Aggregate Sales Price shall be split amongst all placement agents as in effect, including the Co-Placement Agents.

The Placement Fee shall be payable upon the consummation of the placement of the applicable Securities and the closing of the Business Combination.

The Company shall have the right to engage other brokers or agents to participate in the Private Placement, provided that (i) Berenberg and Lucid have provided their prior written consent (such consent not to be reasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any such appointment or engagement, (ii) the Company shall have consulted with Berenberg and Lucid prior to any such appointment or engagement so as to, among other things, ensure a coordinated process as to marketing efforts and any additional payable fees.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported.

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement.

It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.

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 unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.

Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

As of September 30, 2025, our critical estimates included estimates made by management in the calculation of the over-allotment liability, primarily related to the estimate of underlying stock volatility, taking into account that changes in such estimates could have material impact on the calculation of the over-allotment liability.

Current and anticipated future events might affect the determination of whether certain estimates are considered critical by management.
