Item 1. Business
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We are a blank check company
incorporated on April 7, 2025, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, which we refer to throughout this Annual Report as our “business
combination” or “initial business combination,” with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout
this Annual Report as a “target business” or “target businesses”. While we will consider opportunities in any
industry, we are strategically positioned to capitalize on transformative opportunities, focusing on broad renewable energy, sustainable
finance and nuclear energy sectors, targeting industries that are crucial components of the global clean energy transition and offer viable
pathways towards a clean energy future while ensuring sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy supply. We believe our team’s
expertise in these sectors will provide us with a significant competitive advantage in sourcing and evaluating potential targets. However,
we have not selected any specific target business.
We have generated no revenues
to date and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until, at the earliest, we consummate our initial business combination.
Our management team is continuously made aware of potential business opportunities, one or more of which we may desire to pursue for an
initial business combination. However, we have not selected any specific target business and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf,
engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any target business with respect to an initial business combination
with us.
On November 26, 2025, we
consummated our initial public offering of 17,250,000 units at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and
one right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of our initial business
combination, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated
the sale of 870,000 private placement units at a price of $5.00 per unit in a private placement (the “private placement”)
to IG SPAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “sponsor”) and Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, the
representative of the underwriters in the initial public offering (“CCM”), generating gross proceeds of $4,350,000. Following
the closings of the initial public offering and the private placement on November 26, 2025, an aggregate amount of $176,850,000 ($10.00
per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the private placement
units, was placed in the trust account (the “trust account”) and held in demand deposit or cash accounts or invested only
in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185
days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries
and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, 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 our shareholders.
Business Strategy
Our acquisition strategy is
centered on identifying and completing a business combination with a company actively driving advancements in clean energy, sustainable
solutions, and emissions reduction. We seek businesses that expand access to reliable power, enhance the sustainability of products and
industries, and create positive social and environmental impact. By targeting companies that employ efficient and innovative business
practices, we aim to support long-term value creation while accelerating the global transition to cleaner energy systems. Moreover, we
expect to prioritize organizations and leadership teams that align with our commitment to good governance, operational discipline, and
transparency.
We believe our management
team and advisors possess the following tools necessary to drive profitable growth:
● Leadership and Industry Experience: We
believe our management team’s and advisors’ proven track record in investment strategy and execution, including leadership
roles at Invest.Green, Fidelity Investments, Microsoft Corporation, Robinhood Financial LLC, and LONGi Green Energy Technology, position
us well to identify, source, negotiate, and execute a high-impact business combination. Coupled with the deep industry and investing
expertise of our sponsor, we expect to bring deep knowledge and insight to structuring a transaction that meets our investment criteria
with the goal of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns to shareholders.
2
● Key Network: We believe
our leadership team and sponsor’s investment professionals have an extensive network of senior industry contacts, including corporate
executives, investment bankers, private equity firms, venture capitalists, and business owners. We expect that this strategic network
will provide us access to high-caliber acquisition opportunities that align with our sustainability and energy transition objectives.
Furthermore, we expect that our recognized reputation and expertise in clean energy investment will make us a preferred partner for business
combination counterparties, reinforcing our goal to secure transformative transactions that drive sustainable growth.
● Expertise in Optimization: We
believe that the extensive operational experience of our management team positions will allow us to enhance strategic vision and optimize
operational performance across the assets and businesses we acquire, ultimately maximizing value for shareholders. This includes streamlining
operating efficiencies, increasing margins and profitability, driving revenue growth, investing in organic expansion, pursuing strategic
acquisitions or divestitures, and optimizing capital structures to ensure sustainable long-term success. We believe our ability to identify
and source compelling investment opportunities, coupled with our strategic and operational expertise in value creation, will provide
us with a distinct competitive advantage over other financial and strategic buyers in a similar position to ours.
Our investment approach is
rigorous, disciplined, and highly differentiated, which we believe will allow us to identify and execute business combinations that meet
our high standards for risk-adjusted returns. Guided by core investing principles, we plan to conduct thorough evaluations, perform rigorous
due diligence, and maintain a selective approach with a goal of pursuing compelling opportunities with strong long-term growth potential.
Furthermore, we intend to leverage our integrated team — comprised of strategic, financial, legal, and operational experts — to
help efficiently identify, evaluate, and execute transactions. We believe our deep industry expertise will enable us to pursue multiple
opportunities concurrently, reducing the time required between initial identification and transaction announcement, while maintaining
high standards of execution.
Our Acquisition Process
In evaluating a prospective
target business, we expect to conduct a due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management
and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of
financial, operational, legal and other information about the target and its industry which will be made available to us. If we determine
to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the business combination transaction.
The time required to select
and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process,
are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of,
and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result
in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds available for us to use to complete another business combination.
Because there are numerous
special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial business combination with available targets, the competition for
available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved
financial terms. Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns (including
a negative public perception of mergers involving SPACs), geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed
to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination. Thus, our ability to identify and evaluate a target
company may be impacted by significant competition among other special purpose acquisition companies in pursuing business combination
transaction candidates and significant competition may impact the attractiveness of the acquisition terms that we will be able to negotiate.
3
Status as a Public Company
We believe our structure will
make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses. As an existing public company, we offer a target business an
alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with us. In a business combination
transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock or shares in the target business
for our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our Class A ordinary shares and
cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers. We believe target businesses will find this method
a more expeditious and cost effective method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial
public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction process, and there
are significant expenses and market and other uncertainties in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and
commissions, marketing and road show efforts that may not be present to the same extent in connection with a business combination with
us.
Furthermore, once a proposed
initial business combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering
is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay
or prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial business combination, we believe
the target business would then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with
shareholders’ interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company can offer further
benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.
While we believe that our
structure and our management team’s backgrounds will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may
view our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder approval of any
proposed initial business combination, negatively.
We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day
of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have
total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which
means the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior
June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during
the prior three-year period.
Additionally, we are a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage
of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements.
We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary
shares held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues
equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is
equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30 th .
In addition, after completion
of our initial public offering and prior to the consummation of a business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares
will have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors. As a result, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
will consider us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under Nasdaq corporate
governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the appointment of directors is held by an individual,
group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements.
We currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, but may do so in the future. Accordingly, if we
choose to do so, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate
governance requirements.

Financial Position
With funds available for a
business combination initially in the amount of $165,600,000 assuming no redemptions and after payment of up to $6,900,000 of deferred
underwriting fees, we offer a target business a variety of options, such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital
for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are
able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have
the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business
to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will
be available to us.
Effecting our Initial Business Combination
We are not presently engaged in, and we will not
engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following our initial public offering. We intend to effectuate our initial
business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement units,
the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (including pursuant to forward purchase agreements
or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of our 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. We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or
in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.
If our initial business combination
is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration
in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares, we may use the balance
of the cash released to us from the trust account following the closing for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion
of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our
initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies, or for working capital.
We have not selected any business
combination target. We may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry but expect to focus our search on the broad
renewable energy, sustainable finance and nuclear energy sectors, targeting industries that are crucial components of the global clean
energy transition and offer viable pathways towards a clean energy future while ensuring sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy
supply. Accordingly, there is no current basis for investors in our initial public offering to evaluate the possible merits or risks of
the target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial business combination. Although our management will assess the risks
inherent in a particular target business with which we may combine, we cannot assure you that this assessment will result in our identifying
all risks that a target business may encounter. Furthermore, some of those risks may be outside of our control, meaning that we can do
nothing to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely affect a target business.
5
We may seek to raise additional
funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and
we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the trust
account. In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds
of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, 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. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, we would expect to complete such financing only simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. In the case
of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust account assets, our proxy materials or tender offer documents
disclosing the initial business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law, we would seek shareholder
approval of such financing. 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 our initial public offering. At this time, we are not a
party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of securities
or otherwise. None of our sponsors, officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with
or after our initial business combination.
Sources of Target Businesses
We anticipate that target
business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and private investment
funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls
or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis,
since many of these sources will have read this Annual Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors,
as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates of which they become aware through their business
contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In
addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us
as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging
the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these
firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined
in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction.
Prior to or in connection
with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the company to our sponsor or a member of our management
team, or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in
order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination,
will be paid from working capital.
We will engage a finder only
to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to
us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest
to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid
out of the funds held in the trust account.
6
We are not prohibited from
pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers, directors, or any of their respective
affiliates, or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers
or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association) with our sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors,
will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions,
stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point
of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Lack of Business Diversification
For an indefinite period of
time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance
of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or
several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in
a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
● subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory
developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial
business combination, and
● cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product
or limited number of products or services.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s
Management Team
Although we intend to closely
scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination
with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management
may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of
our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any
of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business
combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination.
Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations
of the particular target business.
We cannot assure you that
any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether
any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
Following a business combination,
we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we
will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience
necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
7
Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve
our Initial Business Combination
We may conduct redemptions
without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by law or applicable stock exchange rule, or
we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.
Under Nasdaq’s listing
rules, shareholder approval would be required for our initial business combination if, for example:
● We issue ordinary shares that will be equal to or in excess
of 20% of the number of our ordinary shares then outstanding (other than in a public offering);
● Any of our directors, officers or substantial shareholders
(as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a 5% or greater interest earned on the trust account (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater
interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance
of ordinary shares could result in an increase in outstanding ordinary shares or voting power of 5% or more; or
● The issuance or potential issuance of ordinary shares will
result in our undergoing a change of control.
The decision as to whether
we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination in those instances in which shareholder approval is not required
by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on business and
legal reasons, which include a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the timing of the transaction, including in
the event we determine shareholder approval would require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek shareholder approval
or doing so would place the company at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other additional burdens on the company; (ii) the
expected cost of holding a shareholder vote; (iii) the risk that the shareholders would fail to approve the proposed business combination;
(iv) other time and budget constraints of the company; and (v) additional legal complexities of a proposed business combination
that would be time-consuming and burdensome to present to shareholders.
Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon
Completion of our Initial Business Combination
We will provide our public
shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares, regardless of whether they abstain,
vote for, or vote against, our initial business combination, upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior
to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes
payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein.
The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors
who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. Our sponsor,
officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights
with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the completion of
our initial business combination.
8
Our proposed initial business
combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash
for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event
the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption
plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate
amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A ordinary
shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities
or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase
agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our initial public offering, in order to, among other
reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
Manner of Conducting Redemptions
We will provide our public
shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial
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 we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of
the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange
listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder
approval under SEC rules), as described above under the heading “ Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial
Business Combination .” Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct
mergers with our company (other than with a 90% subsidiary of ours) and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and
outstanding ordinary shares or seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association would require shareholder
approval. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with Nasdaq’s
shareholder approval rules.
The requirement that we provide
our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares by one of the two methods listed above are contained in provisions
of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and will apply whether or not we maintain our registration under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended
if approved by a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders
as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company,
so long as we offer redemption in connection with such amendment.
9
If we provide our public shareholders
with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in connection with a general meeting, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association:
● conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation
pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender
offer rules; and
● file proxy materials with the SEC.
In the event that we seek shareholder
approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our public shareholders
with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
If we seek shareholder approval,
we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and our amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such
shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of
the company. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders of at least one third of issued and outstanding shares entitled
to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Our sponsor, officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant
to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and any
public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions)
in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements
of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction). For
purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination
once a quorum is obtained. Assuming that only the holders of one-third of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, representing
a quorum under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association vote their shares at a general meeting of the company,
we will not need any public shares in addition to our founder shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order
to approve an initial business combination. However, if our initial business combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation
with another company under Cayman Islands law, the approval of our initial business combination will require a special resolution, which
requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in
person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company. In addition, prior to the closing of
our initial business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares (i) will have the right to vote to appoint and
remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) will be entitled to vote
on continuing our company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend our constitutional
documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a
jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our sponsor, officers and directors,
may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their public
shares irrespective of whether they vote for or vote against the proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting
on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a public shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the
proposed transaction.
10
If a shareholder vote is not
required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:
● conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and
Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers; and
● file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing
our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination
and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
In the event we conduct redemptions
pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under
the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer
period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public shareholders not tendering more than the number of public shares we
are permitted to redeem. If public shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer
and not complete the initial business combination.
Upon the public announcement
of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our sponsor will terminate
any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Class A ordinary shares in the open market, in order
to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
We intend to require our public
shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,”
to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer
agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth
in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days
prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection
with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its public shares to also submit a written request
for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner
of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public
shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public shareholders to satisfy such
delivery requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for
further communication or action from the redeeming public shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative
cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return
any certificates or shares delivered by public shareholders who elected to redeem their shares.

Our proposed initial business
combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash
for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event
the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption
plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate
amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A ordinary
shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity or
equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including
pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our initial public offering,
in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
Limitation on Redemption upon Completion
of Initial Business Combination if we Seek Shareholder Approval
If we seek shareholder approval
of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a public shareholder, together with
any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as
defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to Excess Shares
without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent
attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to
force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable
terms. Absent this provision, a public shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in our initial public offering
could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our sponsor or our management
at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem
no more than 20% of the shares sold in our initial public offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of
a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly
in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
amount of cash.
However, we would not be restricting
our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation
if no Initial Business Combination
Our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association provide that we will have only the duration of the completion window to complete our initial business
combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter
(and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest
shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public
shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each
case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There
will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Share Rights, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial business combination by November 26, 2027.

Comparison of Redemption
or Purchase Prices in Connection with our Initial Business Combination and if We Fail to Complete our Initial Business Combination
The following table compares the redemptions and
other permitted purchases of public shares that may take place in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and
if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by November 26, 2027.
Redemptions in
Connection with our Initial
Business Combination
Other Permitted
Purchases of Public
Shares by our Affiliates
Redemptions if we fail
to Complete an Initial
Business Combination
Calculation of redemption price
Redemptions at the time of our initial business combination may be made pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a shareholder vote. The redemption price will be the same whether we conduct redemptions pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a shareholder vote. In either case, our public shareholders may redeem their public shares for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination (which is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitation that no redemptions will take place if all of the redemptions would cause to be unable to satisfy any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) agreed to in connection with the negotiation of terms of a proposed business combination.
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or Share Rights in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following completion of our initial business combination. If our sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase shares of Share Rights from public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process. If they engage in such transactions they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by November 26, 2027, we will redeem all public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount, then on deposit in the trust account (which is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares.
Impact to remaining shareholders
The redemptions in connection with our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for our remaining shareholders, who will bear the burden of the deferred underwriting commissions and interest withdrawn for taxes.
If the permitted purchases described above are made, there would be no impact to our remaining shareholders because the purchase price would not be paid by us.
The redemption of our public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for the shares held by our initial shareholders, who will be our only remaining shareholders after such redemptions.
13
Competition
In identifying, evaluating
and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter competition from other entities having a business
objective similar to ours, including other special purpose acquisition companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public
companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience
identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess similar or
greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our
available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore,
our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available
to us for our initial business combination and our issued and outstanding Share Rights, and the future dilution they potentially represent,
may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully
negotiating an initial business combination.
Facilities
Our office address is 19215
SE 24th Street, Suite # 106-159, Camas WA 98607. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Employees
We currently have three officers:
Andrew McLean, Jim Campbell and Michael Krawchuk. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our
matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business
combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for
our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees
prior to the completion of our initial business combination.
Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
We registered our units, Class A
ordinary shares and Share Rights under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual,
quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports contain
financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants.
We will provide shareholders
with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents
sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared
in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required
to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential
target businesses we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in
time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the
prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate
will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will
be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements
cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination
candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
14
We will be required to evaluate
our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in
the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company,
will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity
to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.
We have filed a Registration
Statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As
a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of filing
a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our
initial business combination.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted
company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted
from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption
undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised) of the
Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing
any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be
levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on
or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of
dividends or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due
under a debenture or other obligation of us. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of
the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities
and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107
of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging
growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging
growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion
of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which
we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds
$700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt
during the prior three-year period.
Additionally, we are a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage
of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements.
We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Class A
ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter,
or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A
ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter.

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY
An investment in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section entitled “Risk
Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
and operating results. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks Related to our Search for, Consummation
of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination
● We are a Cayman Islands exempted
company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.
● Our public shareholders may
not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial business combination, which means we may complete our initial business
combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.
● The ability of our public shareholders
to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable initial business
combination or optimize our capital structure.
● We may not be able to complete
our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, in which case our public shareholders may receive only their pro rata
portion of the funds in the trust account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our rights will expire without
value to the holder.
● You will not have any rights
or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you
may be forced to sell your public shares or rights potentially at a loss.
● We may seek acquisition opportunities
in industries or sectors which may be outside of our management’s area of expertise.
● Past performance by our management
team, our advisors and our initial shareholders may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us.
Risks Related to Our Securities
● Nasdaq may delist our securities
from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional
trading restrictions.
Risks Related to Our Management
● Our officers and directors may
allocate their time to other businesses and may become officers or directors of any other special purpose acquisition companies, thereby
causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs and whether to present potential target
to us instead of to our competitors. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial business
combination.
● Our initial shareholders and
their respective affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with our interests.
Post Business Combination Risks
● Our management will most likely
not maintain control of a target business after our initial business combination. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control
of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications, or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business.
● We may seek acquisition opportunities
with an early-stage company, a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue or earnings.
Risks Related to Acquiring and Operating a
Business Outside of the United States
● Because of the costs and difficulties
inherent in managing cross-border business operations, our results of operations may be negatively impacted.
● If we effect an initial business
combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material
agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
