Item 1. Business
Item
1. Business Overview.
We
are a blank check exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 13, 2023, for the purpose of entering into a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses or entities. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic
location but will initially focus on Asia. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”),
our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination.
Initial
Public Offering and Private Placement
On
July 3, 2024, we consummated our IPO of 5,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001
par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Share”), and one right (the “Rights”) to receive one-fifth of one
Class A Ordinary Share upon the completion of the initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per
Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $50,000,000. On July 3, 2024, substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed
the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 216,750 units (the “Initial Private Units”) to our sponsor, Hercules
Capital Management Corp (the “Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Initial Private Unit, generating gross proceeds
to us of $2,167,500. In connection with the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units, the proceeds of $50,000,000
from the proceeds of the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units were placed in the Trust Account (as defined below).
On
July 3, 2024, Maxim Group LLC, the representative of the underwriters of the IPO (the “Representative”) notified us of its
exercise of the over-allotment option in full to purchase additional 750,000 Units of the Company (the “Over-Allotment Option”).
On July 8, 2024, additional 750,000 Units were sold to the Representative at an offering price of $10.00 per unit (the “Option
Units” and together with the Units, collectively, the “Public Units”), generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. Simultaneously
with the issuance and sale of the Option Units, the Company completed a private placement sale of additional 11,250 units (the “Additional
Private Units” and together with the Initial Private Units, collectively, the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor at a
purchase price of $10.00 per Additional Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $112,500.
In
connection with the IPO and the sale of the Option Units, the Company issued a total of 230,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Representative
Shares”) to the Representative.
The
proceeds of $57,500,000 from the IPO, the sale of the Option Units and the sales of Private Units, were placed in a trust account (the
“Trust Account”) established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
Our
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are
held out of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating
a business combination and working capital.
Since
our IPO, our sole business activity has been identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We presently have
no revenue and have had losses since inception from incurring formation and operating costs. We have relied upon the sale of our securities
and loans from the Sponsor and other parties to fund our operations.
The
Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights are trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “EURK”
and “EURKR,” respectively. Public Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “EURKU”.
Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Public Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights.

Proposed
Business Combination with Marine Thinking
Business
Combination Agreement
On October 29, 2025, EURK
entered into a business combination agreement (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”),
with Marine Thinking Inc. (“Marine Thinking”), a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”)
and 17358750 Canada Inc., a company incorporated under the CBCA and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EURK (the “Amalgamation Sub,”
together with EURK and Marine Thinking, the “Parties, “and each, a “Party”). Marine Thinking is an autonomous
ship and fleet solution providing company.
The
BCA contemplates that the business combination among EURK, Marine Thinking and Amalgamation Sub will be completed through the following
series of transactions, (i) prior to the time when the Amalgamation (as defined below) becomes effective (the “Amalgamation Effective
Time”), EURK shall complete the deregistration as a Cayman Islands exempted company in accordance with section 206 of the Companies
Act and, immediately upon such deregistration, the domestication to Canada under the CBCA (the “SPAC Continuance”). Upon
the completion of the SPAC Continuance, the name of EURK shall be changed from “Eureka Acquisition Corp” to “Marine
Thinking Holdings Inc.” or such other name as the Parties may agree on; and (ii) following the SPAC Continuance, and in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the BCA and in accordance with the CBCA, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA
(the “Closing”), Marine Thinking and the Amalgamation Sub shall amalgamate and continue as one company, being the Amalco
(“Amalco”), under the terms and conditions prescribed in the amalgamation agreement to be signed by Marine Thinking and Amalgamation
Sub and in accordance with section 181 of the CBCA (the “Amalgamation”). Following the Amalgamation Effective Time, Amalco
will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of EURK.
The
Continuance, the Amalgamation, and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA are hereinafter referred to as the “Business
Combination” or the “Transactions.” The closing of the Business Combination shall take place electronically by remote
exchange of the closing deliverables as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the fifth (5) Business Day, following
the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law or waiver) of the conditions set forth in the BCA (the “Closing
Date”) or at such other place, date and/or time as EURK and Marine Thinking may agree in writing.
Support
Agreement
Concurrently with the execution
of the BCA, the Sponsor, EURK and Marine Thinking have entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant
to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to (i) vote, or cause to be voted or consented at any meeting of the shareholders of
EURK, or in any action by written consent of the shareholders, all of its SPAC Shares (as defined in the BCA) which the Sponsor owns of
record or has the power to vote as of the record date for such meeting (the “Sponsor Shares”), (a) in favor of the approval
and adoption of the BCA and the Transactions contemplated thereby, and any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the
Business Combination, and (b) against the proposals in connection with other alternative business combinations other than the Business
Combination with Marine Thinking; and (ii) not to transfer any Sponsor Shares until the Expiration Time (as defined in the Support Agreement).
Voting
Agreement
Concurrent with the execution
and delivery of the BCA, Marine Thinking, EURK, the Amalgamation Sub and certain shareholders of Marine Thinking (the “Requisite
Shareholders”), have entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Requisite Shareholders
agreed to, among other things, (i) vote, or cause to be voted or consented at a meeting of the holders of the common shares in the capital
of Marine Thinking (“Target Shareholders”), or in any action by written consent of the shareholders, all common shares of
Marine Thinking which the Requisite Shareholders own of record or have the power to vote (including any successor shares of Company of
which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by the Requisite Shareholders prior to the termination of the Voting
Agreement) (the “Subject Shares”), (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the BCA and the Transactions contemplated
thereby, and any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the Business Combination, and (b) against the proposals in connection
with other alternative business combinations other than the Business Combination with EURK; and (ii) not to transfer any Subject Shares
until the Expiration Time (as defined in the Voting Agreement).
2
Registration
Rights Agreement
The
BCA contemplates that, at the Closing, EURK, the Sponsor, each of the Target Shareholders and certain other parties named therein will
enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to
which EURK will agree to register for resale, pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations, with respect to the registrable
securities held by the Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
Lock-Up Agreements
The BCA contemplates that
at the Closing, each of the Sponsor and certain of the Target Shareholders will enter into a lock-up agreement (collectively, the “Lock-up
Agreements”), pursuant to which (i) the Sponsor agrees on certain restrictions on transfer of SPAC Class B Shares (as defined in
the BCA) held by the Sponsor immediately prior to the Closing; and (ii) certain of the Target Shareholders agree on certain restrictions
on transfer of SPAC Shares (as defined in the BCA) held by them immediately after the Closing, including any shares issuable upon the
exercise of any rights, options, warrants or other securities to purchase any SPAC Shares held by them immediately after the Closing,
or any rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any SPAC Shares held by them
immediately after the Closing. The lock-up period commences on the Amalgamation Effective Time and continues until the earlier of (i)
three-hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the Closing, or (ii) the date on which EURK completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock
exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of EURK’s shareholders having the right to exchange their
SPAC Shares or other equity securities of EURK for cash, securities or other property.
Option
Purchase Agreement
On
July 6, 2025, the Sponsor and Marine Thinking entered into an option purchase agreement (as amended on September 2, 2025, the “Option
Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to sell to Marine Thinking, and Marine Thinking agreed to purchase from
the Sponsor, an option to purchase 583,333 SPAC Shares held by the Sponsor (the “Option Securities”) for an aggregate purchase
price of $1,750,000. The aggregate exercise price of the option itself is $1.00 for all of the Option Securities. The options are
exercisable for the period commencing on the expiration or early release of applicable transfer restrictions on the Option Securities
(as provided in the letter agreement dated July 2, 2024 entered into by and among EURK, the Sponsor and certain other parties in connection
with the IPO) and ending on July 5, 2026. On September 23, 2025, Marine Thinking entered into an option assignment agreement (the
“Option Assignment Agreement”) and assigned its rights, interests and obligations in whole under the Option Purchase Agreement
to a company that is owned by the current shareholders of Marine Thinking in substantially similar proportions as their respective shareholdings
in Marine Thinking.
Finder’s
Agreement
On April 1, 2025, EURK entered
into a finder’s agreement (the “Finder’s Agreement”) with Alpha Innovators Limited, a British Virgin Islands exempted
company (the “Finder”), pursuant to which the Finder agreed to introduce potential targets to EURK. If EURK consummates a
business combination with one or more targets introduced by the Finder during the term of the Finder’s Agreement and a period of
twelve (12) months following the termination of the Finder’s Agreement, then EURK shall issue to the Finder or its designated affiliates,
upon the completion of each business combination(s) and as complete and full compensation for the Finder under Finder’s Agreement,
a number of SPAC Class A Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 3% of the Company Valuation (as defined in the BCA) by the
Redemption Price (as defined in the BCA).
3
June
2025 Shareholder Meeting
On
June 30, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary
General Meeting”).
At
the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”)
to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which provided that the Company has
until July 3, 2025 to complete a business combination, and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to
two times, each by an additional three-month extension, for a total of up to six months to January 3, 2026, be deleted in their entirety
and the substitution in their place of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current Charter”)
to provide that the Company has until July 3, 2025 to complete a business combination, and may elect to extend the period to consummate
a business combination up to 12 times, each by an additional one-month extension (the “Monthly Extension”), for a total of
up to 12 months to July 3, 2026. The Company agreed that it would not withdraw any interest from the Trust Account for payment of dissolution
expenses.
In
connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, 2,819,767 Class A ordinary shares of the Company were rendered for redemption,
and approximately $29 million was released from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming shareholders.
Trust
Amendment
In
connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company entered into an amendment to the trust agreement dated July 2, 2024 (the
“Trust Amendment”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose
trust company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Trust Amendment provides
that, among other things, for each Monthly Extension, the amount of $150,000 (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) shall be deposited
into the Trust Account, and, in the event that the Monthly Extension Fee is not being deposited into the Trust Account by the 3rd day
of each month since July 3, 2025, the Company has a period of thirty (30) days (the “Cure Period”) to pay any applicable past
due payment for the Monthly Extension Fee. If the Company fails to make any applicable past due payment during the Cure Period, then the
Company shall immediately cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and liquidate and dissolve with the same effect
as if the Company failed to complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline.
Extensions
and Extension Notes
Pursuant to the Current Charter,
the Company currently has until January 3, 2026 to complete its business combination, which may be extended up to July 3, 2026 if fully
extended by Monthly Extensions. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $900,000 of the Monthly Extension Fee has been deposited into the
Trust Account, among which $150,000 was paid by the Company from its working capital and $750,000 was paid by the Sponsor. In connection
with the Sponsor’s payment of the Monthly Extension Fee, the Company issued five unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $750,000 (the “Extension Notes”) to the Sponsor. The Extension Notes bear no interest and are payable in full upon
the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Company’s business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the
Company. The Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private
units (the “Conversion Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one right to receive one-fifth
(1/5) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a business combination. The number of Conversion Units to be received by
the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount
payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.
Working
Capital Loans
On
August 25, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note” and, together with the Extension
Notes, the “Notes”) in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor. The proceeds of the Working Capital Note, which
may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial business combination, will be used as general working capital
purposes.
4
The
Working Capital Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the Maturity Date. The Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation,
to convert the Working Capital Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Conversion Units upon the consummation of a business combination,
as described in the prospectus of the Company (File No: 333-277780), by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to
convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of Conversion Units to be received by
the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount
payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.
Permission Required from the PRC Authorities
for a Business Combination and Relevant PRC Regulations
We are a blank check company
incorporated in the Cayman Islands with no operations or subsidiaries in China. Currently our company does not own or control any equity
interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) has
not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether listing of our securities are subject to the Regulations on Mergers
and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), and we believe that we are not required
to obtain any licenses or approvals, under applicable PRC laws and regulations, for our listing on Nasdaq and seeking a target for our
initial business combination. Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021
and became effective on February 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ individual information
shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. As we are a blank check company and are not involved in the collection
of personal data of at least 1 million users or implicate cybersecurity and Marie Thinking is a Canadian company, we do not believe that
we are or the post-combination entity will be a “network platform operator(s)”, or subject to the cybersecurity review of
the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”). As of the date hereof, we have not received any inquiry, notice,
warning, sanction or any regulatory objection to our listing from any relevant PRC authorities.
Further, we do not consider
ourselves a China-based issuer, in particular, as specified in the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and
Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines promulgated by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, which
became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Administration Measures, an issuer is a “domestic [Chinese] company”
if the issuer meets both of the following conditions and thus, subject to the requirements for domestic [Chinese] companies
seeking to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, thereunder: (i) any of the total assets, net assets, revenues
or profits of the domestic operating entities of the issuer in the most recent accounting year accounts for more than 50% of the corresponding
figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (ii) its major operational activities
are carried out in China or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers in charge of operation and management
of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China. We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands with
no operation of our own except searching for a non-China-based target for our initial Business Combination. Furthermore, we do not own
or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China, and during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025,
we do not have 50% or more of our total assets, net assets, revenues or profits located or generated in China.
As of the date of this report,
no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made by us. We have not adopted or maintained any other cash management policies and
procedures and need to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions, if any. Given
that we are not a China-based issuer and do not expect to be a China-based issuer upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination,
we are not subject to nor will become subject to the foreign exchange control rules of the PRC.
5
However, applicable laws,
regulations, or interpretations of PRC may change, and the relevant PRC government agencies could reach a different conclusion. There
is also possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval
was not required. If prior approval was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required or if applicable
laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain the approval in the future, we may face regulatory
actions or other sanctions from relevant Chinese regulatory authorities. These authorities may take actions that could have a material
adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of
our securities. In addition, any changes in PRC law, regulations, or interpretations may severely affect our operations. Further, if we
are required by the Trial Measures to file with the CSRC, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely
manner, or even at all. The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us,
to be subject to other severe consequences, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. To that extent, we may not be
able to conduct the process of searching for a potential target company. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements
may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to list our securities on Nasdaq or offer the securities, causing
significant disruption to our business operations, severely damage our reputation, materially and adversely affect our financial condition
and results of operations and cause the securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.
Pursuant
to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which
found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in (1) mainland
China of the PRC because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative
Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s
report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On December 15, 2022,
the PCAOB announced that PCAOB has secured complete access to inspect and investigate public accounting firms headquartered in mainland
China and Hong Kong, and vacated previous determinations to the contrary. However, uncertainties exist with respect to the implementation
of this framework and there is no assurance that the PCAOB will be able to execute, in a timely manner, its future inspections and investigations
in a manner that satisfies the Protocol. Should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access — in
any way and at any point in the future — the Board of PCAOB will act immediately to consider the need to issue a new
determination. Our auditor, Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, is a United States accounting firm based in New York City and is subject
to regular inspection by the PCAOB. Marcum Asia CPAs LLP is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified
in the Determination Report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations. As a special purpose acquisition company, our current
business activities only involve searching for targets and consummation of a business combination.
In
addition, we will affirmatively exclude any target company the financial statements of which are audited by an accounting firm that the
PCAOB has been unable to inspect for two consecutive years at the time of our business combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that we decide to consummate our initial business combination with a target business based in or primarily operating in
China, if there is any regulatory change which prohibits the independent accountants from providing audit documentations located in mainland
China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation or the PCAOB expands the scope of the Determination Report so that
the target company or the combined company is subject to the HFCAA, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of
such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S capital markets and trading of our securities
on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. may be prohibited, under the HFCAA. On December 29,
2022, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which, among other things, amended the HFCAA to reduce the number
of consecutive years an issuer can be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer before the Commission must impose an initial
trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two years. Therefore, once an issuer is identified
as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years, the Commission is required under the HCFAA to prohibit the trading
of the issuer’s securities on a national securities exchange and in the over-the-counter market. If the combined company’s
auditor cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, the trading of the securities on any U.S. national securities
exchanges, as well as any over-the-counter trading in the U.S., will be prohibited.
6
Furthermore,
there may be difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us
based on foreign laws. Certain of our current executive officers and directors are located in, or have significant ties to, China. Also,
if we decide to consummate our initial business combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China, it is possible
that substantially all or a significant portion of combined company’s assets may be located outside of the United States and
some of the combined company’s officers and directors may reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult
to effect service of process upon these officers and directors who reside outside of the United States. Even with effective service
of process, it may also be difficult to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability
provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the officers and directors. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether
the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against the officers and directors predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state. The recognition and enforcement of foreign
judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with
the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or
on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the United States
that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures
Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment by us against the officers or directors or the future combined company if they
decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security, or the public interest. As a result,
it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States. No PRC
legal counsel had been retained for purpose of the IPO and consequently the company did not rely on the advice of PRC counsel. The above
discussion is based on our management’s understanding of the current PRC laws, rules, regulations and local market practices and
we cannot assure you that our management’s understanding is correct. If we begin our business combination process with a China-based
target, we expect to retain a PRC legal counsel who will advise us and provide its opinion of counsel relating to the enforceability
of civil liabilities and we cannot assure you that the PRC legal counsel will reach the same conclusion as our management’s assessment
above. Furthermore, there would be added costs and issues with bringing an original action in foreign courts against the combined company
or the officers and directors to enforce liabilities based upon the U.S. Federal securities laws, and they still may be fruitless.
Enforceability
of Civil Liability
The
Company’s management consists of two officers located in China, two directors located in the United States and one director located
in Switzerland. Further, there is uncertainty if any officers and directors of the post-combination entity will be located outside the
Unites States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal
rights, to effect service of process upon those officers and directors (prior to or after the business combination) located outside the
United States, to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on them under United
States securities laws.
In
particular, the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United
States and many other countries and regions, and you may have to incur substantial costs and contribute significant time to enforce civil
liabilities and criminal penalties in reliance on legal remedies under PRC laws. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of
judgement of United States courts in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.
U.S.
Foreign Investment Regulations
Dr.
Fen Zhang, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the sole director and the sole member of the Sponsor and as such is deemed to
have sole voting and investment discretion with respect to our shares held by the Sponsor. Dr. Zhang is not a U.S. person, and as of
the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 33.89% of our issued and outstanding shares. Controlling or non-controlling investments
in U.S. businesses that produce, design, test, manufacture, fabricate or develop one or more critical technologies in one of 27 identified
industries — including aviation, defense, semiconductors, telecommunications and biotechnology — are subject to a mandatory
filing with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (“CFIUS”). In addition, CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized
to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect
of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Because we may be considered a “foreign person” under
such rules and regulations, any proposed business combination between us and a U.S. business engaged in a regulated industry or which
may affect national security, we could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review. The scope of CFIUS was
expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain non-passive, non-controlling
investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent
implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential
initial Business Combination with a U.S. business falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate
a business combination with such business. In addition, if our potential business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction,
we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business
combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may
decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such
initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without
first obtaining CFIUS clearance. The foreign ownership limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS, may limit the attractiveness of
a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise
be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business
combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which
do not have similar foreign ownership issues.
7
Moreover,
the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our
initial business combination our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate.
If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share initially, and our warrants and rights will expire worthless.
This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on
your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
Facilities
Our executive offices are
located at 14 Prudential Tower, Singapore 049712 and our telephone number is (+1) 949 899 1827. We make $10,000 per month payment to the
Sponsor for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We consider our current office space adequate for our
current operations.
Employees
We
currently have Dr. Fen Zhang as the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Zhechen Wang as the Chief Financial Officer. They 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 initial 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.
