Note 1
— Organization and Plan of Business Operations
Highview
Merger Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 16, 2025. The Company was formed
for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
Although
the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination, the Company
intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that can benefit from
its management team’s established global relationships and operating experience. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth
company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As
of September 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 16, 2025 (inception) through
September 30, 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. The
Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will
generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company
has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 11, 2025. On August 13, 2025,
the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary
shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of
their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 230,000,000 . Each Unit
consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half
of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 660,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”)
at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Highview Sponsor Co., LLC (the
“Sponsor”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds
of $ 6,600,000 . Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (each, a “Private Placement Share” or,
collectively, “Private Placement Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Private Placement Warrant”
and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share. Of those 660,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 372,500 Private
Placement Units, and Jefferies purchased 287,500 Private Placement Units.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 14,440,234 , consisting of $ 4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $ 9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 640,234
of other offering costs.
The
Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the value of the
assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest
earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete
a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities
of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as
an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There
is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on August 13, 2025, an amount of $ 230,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of
the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the
United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and may initially be invested only in U.S. government
treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in
this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination and, may at any time
be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the
completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders,
as described below.

Note 1
— Organization and Plan of Business Operations (cont.)
The
Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the completion
of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without
a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion
of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion
of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of amounts released to the Company to
fund taxes payable (other than excise or similar taxes). The Class A ordinary shares were recorded at redemption value and classified
as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If
the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under
Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary
shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required
under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or
other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions
pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing
substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares
(as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business
Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business
Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective
of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder,
together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
(as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s
prior written consent.
The
Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to (a) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder
Shares, Private Placement Units and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) waive
their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and Public Shares held by them in connection with
a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the
substance or timing of the Company’s obligation allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of
the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within the Completion Window (as defined below) or (ii) with
respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless
the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment
and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private
Placement Units if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination.
The
Company will have within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination or such other
time period in which it must complete a Business Combination pursuant to an amendment to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association (the “Completion Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion
Window, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the outstanding
Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
earned (less taxes paid or payable (other than excise or similar taxes) and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the
Public Shares and completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation
or other distributions, if any), subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law.

Note 1
— Organization and Plan of Business Operations (cont.)
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units if the Company fails
to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial
Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Completion Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting
commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion
Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the
redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available
for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per share ($ 10.00 ).
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of
(1) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation
of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes paid or payable
(other than excise or similar taxes). This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who
executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be
unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors
by endeavouring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm),
prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2025 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from
the Sponsor of up to $ 400,000 (the “Promissory Note”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company repaid the total outstanding
balance of the Promissory Note amounting to $ 118,550 (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $ 1,029,296 and working
capital of $ 1,087,710 .
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an
affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds
as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay
such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units upon consummation of the
Business Combination at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30,
2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of
Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have
insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the Completion Window
to complete the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working
capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the condensed financial statements.

Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to

footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted,

all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal
recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods
presented.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial
Public Offering as filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the
SEC on August 19, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from April 16, 2025 (inception)
through September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for
any future periods.

— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial
accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company
has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the
extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited
condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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 differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company had $ 1,029,296 in cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025.
Marketable
Securities Held in Trust Account
The
assets held in the Trust Account may initially be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days
or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in
direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole
purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination and, may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit
accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the
distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders. At September 30, 2025, substantially all of the assets
held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company’s marketable securities are presented at fair
value on the balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account
are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations. For the period ending September 30, 2025, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred or a lack of access
to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Offering
Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.”
Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds
from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public
Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, prorate, allocating the Initial Public Offering proceeds
to the assigned value of the warrants and to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged
to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’
deficit as Public and Private Placement Warrants after management’s evaluation were accounted for under equity treatment.

Note 2
— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those
benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company
recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax
benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues
under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject
to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
There
is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations,
income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s condensed financial statements.
The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next
twelve months.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily
due to their short-term nature.
Warrant
Instruments
The
Company accounted for the Public and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private
placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company
evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned value.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s
liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In
accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the
redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately
as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption
value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent
available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are
presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed
balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance
sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Net
Income per Ordinary Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per
ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period.
The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares.
Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption
value approximates fair value.

Note 3
— Initial Public Offering
In
the Initial Public Offering on August 13, 2025, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters
of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one Public Share
and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at
an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
Note 4
— Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Jefferies purchased an aggregate of 660,000 Private Placement Units
at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 6,600,000 , of which 372,500 Private Placement Units
were purchased by the Sponsor and 287,500 Private Placement Units were purchased by Jefferies, in a private placement. Certain proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, such proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement
Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

Founder
Shares
On
April 16, 2025, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $ 25,000 to cover certain general and administrative costs of the Company in consideration
for 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an
aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not
exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent 20 % of the Company’s issued and
outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Units and the ordinary shares
underlying the warrants). On August 13, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of
the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
In
August 2025, the Sponsor granted membership interests equivalent to an aggregate of 85,000 Founder Shares to the three directors for
a consideration of $ 0.004 per share, or an aggregate total amount of $ 340 . The membership interests in Founder Shares granted to the
three directors are in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under
ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the assignment date. On August
12, 2025, the 85,000 Founder Shares have an aggregate fair value of $ 155,040 , or $ 1.824 per share. The membership interests in Founder
Shares have no service restrictions, thus, the total fair value of $ 155,040 , less the amounts received from the directors of $ 340 , or
a net total of $ 154,700 , was recorded as compensation expense in August 2025. The fair value of the Founder Shares was derived through
a third party valuation in which the pre-adjusted underlying share price of $ 9.90 is multiplied by the market adjustment of 18.4 %.
The
Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur
of (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and (B) the date following the completion of the initial Business
Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of
the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
April 16, 2025, the Company issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate
principal amount of $ 400,000 . The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing
of the Public Offering. On August 13, 2025, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the Promissory Note amounting to $ 118,550 ,
resulting in $ 0 outstanding and no borrowings available as of September 30, 2025 (see “Due from Sponsor” immediately below).
Due
from Sponsor
On
August 13, 2025, the outstanding balance of $ 118,550 under the Promissory Note was paid back to Sponsor pursuant to an aggregate payment
of $ 123,773 , in which included an overpayment of $ 5,223 . On August 13, 2025, the Sponsor repaid the Company $ 5,223 to refund the overpayment.
On August 15, 2025, the Company paid the Sponsor $ 25,000 in error for amounts that were previously repaid in connection with the repayment
of the Promissory Note. As a result, as of September 30, 2025, the Company was owed $ 25,000 from the Sponsor, which amount is reflected
in due from Sponsor on the accompanying condensed balance sheet.
Administrative
Services Agreement
The
Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, commencing on August 11, 2025, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation
of its initial Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor, the sum of $ 20,000 per month for office space and administrative
services. Such payments will be accelerated if the Company consummates its initial Business Combination prior to the end of its 24-month
term, or $ 480,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the Company has agreed, pursuant to the administrative services and indemnification
agreement with the Sponsor relating to the monthly payment for office space and administrative services, that the Company will indemnify
the Sponsor from any claims (i) arising out of or relating to the Initial Public Offering or the Company’s operations or conduct
of the Company’s business, (ii) in respect of any investment opportunities sourced by the Sponsor and its affiliates, and/or (iii)
any claim against the Sponsor alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the Sponsor of any of the Company’s
activities or any express or implied association between the Sponsor and the Company or any of its affiliates, which agreement will provide
that the indemnified parties cannot access the funds held in the Trust Account. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for
the period from April 16, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $ 40,000 in fees for these services.

Working
Capital Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain
of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Such Working
Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working
Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid
only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion
of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used
to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post-business
combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per private placement unit at the option of the lender. As of September 30, 2025, there have
been no Working Capital Loans.
Note 6
— Commitments and Contingencies
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will
be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on August 11, 2025, requiring the Company to register
a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation
of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with
respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred
in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond
the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other
things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest
rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and
geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the
likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s
ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments at the Initial
Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 13, 2025, the underwriters elected to fully exercise
their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit.
The
underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per unit, or $ 4,600,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the
closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $ 0.40 per unit, or $ 9,200,000
in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions placed in a Trust Account
located in the United States and released to the underwriters only upon the completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to
the terms of the underwriting agreement.

— Shareholders’ Deficit
Preference
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 . The Company’s
board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating,
optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series.
The board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. As of
September 30, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001
per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2025, there were 660,000
Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B
Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value
of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2025,
there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Prior
to the closing of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on the
appointment and removal of directors or continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution
required to amend the constitutional documents of the Company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the Company, in each case,
as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). On any other matters
submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination,
holders of the Class B ordinary shares and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will vote together as a single class, except
as required by law.
The
Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to, concurrently with or
immediately following the completion of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject
to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection
with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in
the aggregate, 20 % of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (excluding the Private Placement
Units and the ordinary shares underlying the warrants), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed
issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection
with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities
exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and
any Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such
conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Warrants
— As of September 30, 2025, there were 11,830,000 Warrants outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants and
330,000 Private Placement Warrants. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be
issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after
the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, or
earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have
no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A
ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying
its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A
ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered,
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination,
it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part or a new registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain
the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in
accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders
may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain
an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act or another exemption. In addition, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not
listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1)
of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on
a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to
do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register
or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

— Shareholders’ Deficit (cont.)
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
● in
whole and not in part;
● at
a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
● upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
● if,
and only if, the reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions,
share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending
three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that
wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise
price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except
as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination
within the Completion Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held
outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
The
Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except
that (i) the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and the
Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable
until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (iii) the Private Placement
Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and (iv) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by
someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company
and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
● Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices
for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
● Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents
information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on September 30, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy
of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

As of August 13, 2025, the closing date of the Initial Public Offering, the fair value of the Public Warrants was $ 2,725,500 , or $ 0.237
per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. In connection with such valuation
at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not
require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in

— Segment Information
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about
operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information
is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding
how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics
for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management
has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The
CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported
on the condensed statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheet
as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews
the key metrics below.

statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
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 and
Section 21E of 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 (as defined below), 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 Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can 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 April 16, 2025 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. 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;
● 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;
16
Table of Contents
● 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 April 16, 2025 (inception) through
September 30, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and 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. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, 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.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income $988,172, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $1,311,175, offset by formation and operational costs of $168,303 and compensation expense of $154,700.
For
the period from April 16, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, we had a net income $941,404, which consisted of interest earned
on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,311,175, offset by formation and operational costs of $215,071 and compensation
expense of $154,700.
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 $400,000 from the Promissory Note. The Promissory
Note was non-interest bearing and unsecured. The Promissory Note was due at the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial
Public Offering and was anticipated to be repaid upon completion of the Initial Public Offering out of the $680,000 of offering proceeds
that was allocated for the payment of offering expenses other than underwriting commissions. On August 13, 2025, the Promissory Note
was repaid in full.
On
August 13, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters
of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company 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 Jefferies, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000. Of those 660,000
Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 372,500 Private Placement Units, and Jefferies purchased 287,500 Private Placement Units.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred
$14,440,234, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $640,234 of other offering
costs.
For
the period from April 16, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $378,260. Net income of
$941,404 was affected by payment of operating expenses through issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $25,000, payment of general and
administrative costs through promissory note related party of $2,550, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account
of $1,311,175 and compensation expense of $154,700. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $190,739 of cash for operating activities.
As
of September 30, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $231,311,175 (including $1,311,175 of interest income)
consisting of cash and U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest earned on the funds held in
the Trust Account to pay our taxes, if any (other than excise or similar taxes). We intend to use substantially all of the funds held
in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions),
to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete
our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations
of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
The
remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are held outside the Trust Account, in the cash operating
account amounting to $1,029,296. Such funds are being used primarily to enable us to identify a target and to negotiate and consummate
our initial Business Combination.
17
Table of Contents
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 an intended initial 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 our initial Business Combination, we would
repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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.
Such loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the
option of the lender. 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 September 30, 2025. 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 $20,000 per month for office space and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on August 11, 2025 and
will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

Table of Contents
The
underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting commissions of $0.40 per Public Share, or $9,200,000 in the aggregate. The deferred
fee will become payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions placed in a Trust Account located in the United States
and released to the underwriters only upon the completion of an initial 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. As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements.

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and
chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September
30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of
September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
This
Quarterly Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an
attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for
newly public companies.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

1A. Risk Factors
Factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Final
Prospectus, filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our
results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also impair our business or results of operations.
As

We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On
August 13, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, including the issuance of 3,000,000
Units as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their Over-Allotment Option, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
$230,000,000. Jefferies LLC acted as the underwriter. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities
Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-288914). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on August 11, 2025.
Simultaneously
with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, on August 13, 2025, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 660,000
Sponsor Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and Jefferies LLC at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of
$6,600,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration
Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units
was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We
incurred transaction costs amounting to approximately $14.4 million, consisting of an aggregate amount of approximately $4.6 million
of upfront underwriting fee, approximately $9.2 million of deferred underwriting fees, and approximately $0.6 million of other offering
costs.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, of the net proceeds received from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and simultaneous
Private Placement, $230,000,000 ($10.00 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained
by the Trustee.
There
has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Sponsor Private Placement as is described
in the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering.
