Dynamix Corp 10-K

Item 1. Business General We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”) on June 13, 2024 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 (the “initial business combination”). We have identified a target for our business combination, as described below under “Proposed Business Combination.” If the proposed Business Combination is not completed, we will continue to review, a number of opportunities to enter into an initial business combination with an operating business, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete an initial business combination with any of the target businesses that we have reviewed, including the proposed Business Combination or with any other target business. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “initial public offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the initial public offering, identifying a target company for a business combination and pursuing the completion of the proposed Business Combination. 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. Based on our business activities, the Company is a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash except proceeds from our initial public offering (as defined below) that is held in the trust account and invested mainly in US Treasury Bills. On June 18, 2024, we issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“founder shares”) to DynamixCore Holdings, LLC (our “sponsor”), for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On January 7, 2025, the sponsor surrendered 216,667 founder shares for no value, resulting in 5,533,333 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280719) for our initial public offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2024. On November 22, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 16,600,000, including 1,600,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their overallotment option (the “Units”), at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit. The gross proceeds from the initial public offering were $166,000,000 in the aggregate. Simultaneous with the consummation of the initial public offering and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (the “private placement”) of 5,985,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $5,985,000. A total of $166,415,000 of the net proceeds of initial public offering and private placement, were placed in a trust account maintained by the Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee. Transaction costs amounted to approximately $10,605,256, consisting of $3,320,000 of cash underwriting fees, $6,640,000 of deferred underwriting fees and approximately $645,256 of other offering costs. In January 2025, the underwriters’ remaining over-allotment option expired unexercised and as a result, 216,667 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited to the Company. The balance of the funds held outside of the trust account are intended to be used primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination. In the future, a portion of interest income on the funds held in the trust account may be released to us as permitted withdrawals to fund our working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of 10% of interest earned on funds held in the trust account (the “Cap”)), and to pay tax obligations. At December 31, 2025, funds held in the trust account equaled $173,392,842. 1 Our Units began trading on November 22, 2024 on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DYNXU.” On December 6, 2024, we announced that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and redeemable warrants included in the Units commencing on December 9, 2024. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share. On August 27, 2025, the Company’s ticker symbols changed for its Class A ordinary shares, Units and public warrants from “DYNX,” “DYNXU” and “DYNXW,” to “ETHM,” “ETHMU” and “ETHMW,” respectively. Proposed Business Combination On July 21, 2025, Dynamix Corporation (the “SPAC”) and The Ether Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with ETH SPAC Merger Sub Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), The Ether Reserve LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), Ethos Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (“SPAC Subsidiary A”), Ethos Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary A (“SPAC Subsidiary B”), Ethos Sub 3, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary B (“LLC Merger Sub”), and ETH Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). For additional information regarding the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, see the Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC by the Company on July 25, 2025, August 4, 2025, August 6, 2025, September 2, 2025 and September 9, 2025. LLC Unit Subscription Agreement On August 29, 2025, the SPAC, Pubco and the LLC entered into a subscription agreement (the “LLC Unit Subscription Agreement”) with JBerns inv EM1, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “LLC Unit Investor”), pursuant to which the LLC Unit Investor agreed to purchase, and the LLC agreed to issue and sell LLC Class A Units (the “Subscribed Units”) for a contribution of 150,000 ether, in a private placement (the “LLC Unit Subscription”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The closing of the LLC Unit Subscription occurred on September 8, 2025. Immediately prior to the Company Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Subscribed Units will be adjusted as set forth in the LLC Unit Subscription Agreement. At the Company Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), each Subscribed Unit (as adjusted) shall be converted automatically into one common non-voting unit of the LLC (the “LLC Exchange Units”). Pursuant to the LLC Unit Subscription Agreement, Pubco agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the non-voting Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Class A Stock”) into which the LLC Exchange Units held by the LLC Unit Investor will be converted or convertible upon closing of the Company Merger to be registered on the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed in connection with the Business Combination Agreement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”). To the extent such securities are not able to be registered on the Registration Statement, Pubco has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Pubco Class A Stock on a resale registration statement within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, subject to an extension in the event of SEC review. For additional information regarding the LLC Unit Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, see the Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC by the Company on September 2, 2025 and September 9, 2025. Stockholders Agreement On August 29, 2025, the Seller, Pubco and the LLC entered into a Stockholders Agreement with the LLC Unit Investor (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which provides for board composition and director nomination rights and sets forth certain governance provisions applicable to Pubco following the closing of the business combination. For additional information regarding the Stockholders Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the Company on September 2, 2025. 2 Registration Statement on Form S-4 On September 16, 2025, Pubco issued a press release announcing Pubco’s confidential submission of a draft registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sources of Target Businesses While we have identified a target for our proposed Business Combination, we may continue to evaluate other potential target businesses if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated. We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read this Annual Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers, directors or advisors (or their respective affiliates or related entities). In the event that 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, officers, directors or advisors (or their respective affiliates or related entities), we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or from an independent accounting firm that our 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. Business Combination Criteria While we may acquire a business in any industry and in any geography, if the proposed Business Combination is not consummated, we plan to continue to focus our pursuit for business combination opportunities with companies operating in the energy and power value chain. These include, but are not limited to, businesses focused across energy, infrastructure and renewable sectors, including participation in E&P, midstream, oilfield services, power and digital infrastructure. We believe the oil and gas sector is comprised of hundreds of producers and midstream operators with free cash flow generative assets. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across various industries is set to drive a strong surge in power demand. Our extensive backgrounds and robust networks uniquely position us to capitalize on this emerging opportunity. By leveraging our expertise and connections, we are well-equipped to identify and acquire high-potential assets that will benefit from this increasing need for power. 3 We believe that targeting both traditional energy and AI-related power opportunities is highly complementary due to the significant overlap and interdependence between these sectors. The growing demand for AI technologies, particularly in industries such as data centers, necessitates a reliable and increased power supply. This, in turn, underscores the need for responsible natural gas production and transportation, which are critical for efficient power generation. By focusing on both traditional energy and AI-driven power opportunities, we can strategically identify and acquire assets that support the burgeoning power needs of AI industries while ensuring sustainable and responsible energy practices. This dual approach positions us to maximize value and effectively address the evolving energy landscape, driving long-term growth and stability. Our objective is to focus on seeking a business combination in the energy and power sector, which capitalizes on our management team’s extensive expertise. We expect to utilize our management team’s experience in operating and leading businesses in these sectors and to leverage their network of relationships to identify attractive high-growth businesses within our areas of focus. We believe our management team is well positioned to create value for our shareholders, and that our contacts and sources, including those developed during decades of global operating and investment experience in our target sectors, and as owners of private and public companies, will allow us to identify and generate attractive acquisition opportunities. We intend to focus our investment effort broadly across the United States as well as global markets, including Canada, Mexico, Europe and South America. We believe that the operating expertise of our management team in the energy and power sector across multiple industry verticals will give us a large, addressable universe of prospective business combination targets. We intend to continue to target an initial business combination that has one or more of the following characteristics: ● Substantial opportunity for growth following a business combination. Favorable sector and market dynamics including large unmet demand, which may drive organic growth with additional opportunities for add-on acquisitions. ● Leadership position. Defensible or disruptive niche, differentiated technology, competitive advantages. ● Track record of profitability. Long-term sustainable cash flows from competitive advantages. ● Public company readiness. Proven public-ready management team, corporate governance, and reporting policies. ● Strong & qualified management team. Public-ready teams, proven track records driving revenue and value creation for shareholders. ● Mid-cap initial enterprise value. Enterprise value $1.0 billion – $1.5 billion with readiness to grow. The parameters mentioned above are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management team may deem relevant. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our shareholder communications related to our initial business combination, which, as discussed in this Annual Report, would be in the form of proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we would file with the SEC. In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to continue to conduct a thorough due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as reviewing financial and other information that will be made available to us. We will also utilize our operational and capital allocation experience. 4 Evaluation of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to continue to conduct a due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information which will be made available to us. If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the business combination transaction. The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. Initial Business Combination Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account). Our board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. In the event that we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors (or their respective affiliates or related entities), we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or from an independent accounting firm that our 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. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial business combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors. We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Even if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% of net assets test described above. If the business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. We have until November 22, 2026 to complete our initial business combination. Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination If the proposed Business Combination with Ether Machine is not consummated, we may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (a) conduct the repurchases pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers; and (b) file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies. 5 Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, our initial business combination, all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable) and not previously released to us pursuant to permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.025 per public share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. 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 and any public shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. Limitations on Redemptions Our proposed initial business combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all public shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all public shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements. Limitation on Redemption Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares,” without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our sponsor or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination. 6 Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we will have only the duration of the completion window to complete our initial business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) and not previously released to us pursuant to permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands 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 our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window. Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, although they will entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account. However, if our sponsor or management team acquire public shares in or after our initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted completion window. Our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, in each case unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable) and not previously released to us pursuant to permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Corporate Information We are a remote-first company, meaning that all of our team members work remotely. For purposes of compliance with applicable requirements of Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act, communications may be directed to 1980 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, PMB 6373, Houston, TX, 77056. Our telephone number is (214) 987-6100. We maintain a corporate website at https://dynamix-corp.com. The information that may be contained on or accessible through our corporate website or any other website that we may maintain is not incorporated by reference in, or otherwise a part of, this report. We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 30 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividends or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us. 7 We are 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”). As such, we are eligible to 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 of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: ● the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of US $1,235,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more; ● the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our first sale of our equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which is expected to be December 31, 2029, unless we change our fiscal year; ● the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than US $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or ● the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which would occur as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700,000,000 as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. In addition, prior to the consummation of a business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors. As a result, Nasdaq will consider us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under Nasdaq corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the appointment of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, but may do so in the future. Accordingly, if we choose to do so, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. 8 Competition In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other special purpose acquisition companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess similar or greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our issued and outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination. Facilities We are a remote-first company, meaning that all of our team members work remotely. For purposes of compliance with applicable requirements of Securities Act and the Exchange Act, communications may be directed to 1980 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, PMB 6373, Houston, TX, 77056. We believe that our remote working operations are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future, and that, if necessary, suitable physical space will be available to accommodate any expansion of our operations. We will reimburse Volta Tread LLC (“Volta”), an affiliate of our sponsor owned and controlled by Andrea Bernatova and Nader Daylami, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in an amount equal to $30,000 per month for utilities and secretarial and administrative support made available to us. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Employees We currently have two officers: Andrea Bernatova, our chief executive officer, and Nader Daylami, our chief financial officer. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Advisory Services Agreement On February 4, 2025, we entered into an advisory services agreement (the “advisory services agreement”) with Volta, an affiliate of our sponsor owned and controlled by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the “service provider”). Pursuant to the advisory services agreement, the service provider will provide management, consulting and other advisory services to the Company in connection with its initial business combination. In consideration for these services, the Company will pay to the service provider an annual fee, payable on a monthly basis, until the consummation of a business combination. We will also reimburse the service provider and its affiliates for certain costs and expenses incurred in favor of third parties. The annual fee, together with any reimbursement, shall not exceed the Cap. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has paid the service provider $660,704 and $0, respectively, pursuant to the advisory services agreement. Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements We have registered our Units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants. 9 We will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements in time for us to disclose such financial statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material. We will be required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Class A ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter. 10
