Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the proposed
business combination, the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on
information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of
the proposed business combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors listed

be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 25, 2025 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 or entities, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our initial business combination. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash
from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter
into following the consummation of the initial public offering or otherwise), 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.
The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
•
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary
shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;
•
may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;
24

•
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the
resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
•
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
•
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A ordinary shares and/or public warrants.
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to banks or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:
•
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
•
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
•
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
•
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;
•
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
•
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
•
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
•
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who
have less debt.
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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 25, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those
necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and, after the initial public offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting,
accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net income $1,681,553, which consisted of income earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,962,225, partially
offset by general and administrative expenses of $280,672.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs have been satisfied prior to the completion of the initial public offering through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from our sponsor in exchange for the issuance of
the founder shares to our sponsor and up to $300,000 pursuant to a loan agreement whereby the sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the initial public offering pursuant to a promissory
note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2026, or the date on which the Company consummated the initial public offering. On December 4, 2025, the Note was repaid in full.
On December 4, 2025, we completed the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneous with the closing of the initial public
offering, we consummated the sale of 660,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement to the sponsor and the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.
Following the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred transaction costs of $14,298,694,
consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $498,694 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $144,404. Net income of $1,681,553 was adjusted by income earned on cash and marketable securities held in
the trust account of $1,962,225 and $136,268 changes in operating assets and liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and marketable securities of $232,602,652 held in the trust account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any
amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less permitted withdrawals and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our business combination. To the extent that our shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as
consideration to complete an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-business combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue
our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $1,017,117 outside of the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses,
perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties 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.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures requires for operating our business prior to our initial
Business Combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not
obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the
trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans are convertible at the option of the lender into private placement units identical to the private
placement units sold to our sponsor in connection with our initial public offering, at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a
waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing,
fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or
investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to
receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at
the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in
our trust account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business
combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the
purchase price exceeds the amount available from the trust account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination.
We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial business combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial business combination. There is no
limitation on our ability to 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 agreements we may enter into following consummation of the initial public offering. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our
initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial business
combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the sponsor for office space, secretarial and
administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $25,000 per month. We began incurring these fees on December 4, 2025 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination
and our liquidation.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per public unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate, all of which was paid on December 4, 2025. In addition, in connection with
the closing of the initial public offering on December 4, 2025, $0.40 per public unit sold, or $9,200,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the
underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that the Company completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the 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 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. We have identified the following critical
accounting policies:

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering and the private placement in accordance with
the guidance contained in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. The fair
value of Public Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The key inputs used in the valuation of the
Public Warrants are as follows:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights
that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as
shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are
presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheet.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Subsequent
measurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (loss) income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. We calculate our earnings per share to allocate net income pro rata to Class A and Class B
ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income of our Company.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
