Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to

Past performance of our management
team and members of our board of directors or their respective affiliates is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to
any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business
combination. You should not rely on the historical performance record of our management team or their affiliates as indicative of our
future performance. Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest with other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual
obligations with respect to initial business combination opportunities. For a list of our officers and directors and entities for which
a conflict of interest may or does exist between such persons and us, as well as the priority and preference that such entity has with
respect to performance of obligations and presentation of business opportunities to us, please refer to the table and subsequent explanatory
paragraph under “ Management — Conflicts of Interest ” of the registration statement.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and
Directors
Our board of directors consists
of five (5) members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each
class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. Prior to the closing
of our initial business combination, only holders of our 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 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). Holders of our public shares will not be entitled to vote on such
matters during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to these rights
of holders of Class B ordinary shares may be amended by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of the holders representing
at least 90% of the issued Class B ordinary shares. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to
hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the
first class of directors, which will consist of Abhay N. Pande and R. Ian Angell, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The
term of office of the second class of directors, which will consist of Ved P. Narayan, will expire at the second annual general meeting.
The term of office of the third class of directors, which will consist of Matthew R. Pollard and Kenneth Hyatt, will expire at the third
annual general meeting.
Our officers are appointed
by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of
directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
Director Independence
Nasdaq rules require that
a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director”
is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the
listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
We have three “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq rules and applicable SEC rules . Our board of directors has determined
that Messrs. Angell, Hyatt and Narayan are “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC
rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
After the completion of our
initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees
from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation
materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors
of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation.
Any compensation to be paid
to our executive officers by the Company will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any
action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination,
although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with
us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions
with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability
of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision
to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for
benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Upon the commencement of the
trading of our units on the Nasdaq, our board of directors established two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation
committee, as described below. Each committee operates under a charter approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities
described below.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit
committee of our board of directors. Messrs. Angell, Hyatt and Narayan serve as the members of our audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing
standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs.
Angell, Hyatt and Narayan each meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the
Exchange Act.
Mr. Angell serves as the chairman
of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Mr.
Angell qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We have adopted an audit committee
charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence,
and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; the appointment, compensation,
retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm
engaged by us;
● pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting
firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures; reviewing and
discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the independent registered public accounting firm
have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1) the independent
registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent
internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent registered public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation
by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out
by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements
with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; reviewing and approving any related party transaction
required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction;
and
● reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors,
as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any
employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any
significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory
authorities.
Compensation Committee
We have established a nominating
committee of our board of directors. Messrs. Narayan and Hyatt serve as member of our compensation committee. Mr. Narayan served as chair
of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation committee
of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Narayan and Hyatt are each independent. The compensation committee charter,
details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
● reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our chief executive
officer’s compensation, evaluating our chief executive officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining
and approving the remuneration (if any) of our chief executive officer based on such evaluation;
● reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and any
incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;
● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
80
Table of Contents
● implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements
for our executive officers and employees;
● producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
● reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The charter also provides that the compensation
committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will
be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving
advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence
of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
None of our executive officers currently serves,
and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving
on our board of directors.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing
nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or
Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605I(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a
director nominee for selection by our board of directors. Our board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily
carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee.
The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Angell, Hyatt and Narayan.
In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating
committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
The board of directors
will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees
to stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that
wish to nominate a director for appointment to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association.
We have not formally established
any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying
and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge
of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination
to our board of directors.
Clawback Policy
We have adopted a compensation recovery policy
that is compliant with Nasdaq listing rules as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of
Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of our Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. You will be able to review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov .
In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics and the charters of the committees of our board of directors will be provided without charge
upon request from us. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments,
or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under
applicable SEC or Nasdaq rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our
website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any other report or document we file with the SEC,
and any references to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law,
directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
● duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral
purpose;
● duty not to improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
● duty to exercise authority for the purpose for which it is conferred and a duty to exercise powers fairly
as between different sections of shareholder
● duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the Company
and their personal interests; and
● duty to exercise independent judgment.
In addition to the above,
directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably
diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same
functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the Company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

Table of Contents
As set out above, directors
have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit
as a result of their position at the expense of the company. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty
can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be
done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval
at general meetings. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual
or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present
a business combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination
opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor
his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their
fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer, among other persons, shall have any duty, except
and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities
or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate
in, any potential transaction or matter which (a) may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and
us, on the other or (b) the presentation of which would breach an existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other
entity. As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors could materially affect our ability
to complete our initial business combination.
In addition, our sponsor and
our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business
or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result, our sponsor, officers and
directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other
special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional
conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target, which could materially affect our ability to complete our initial
business combination.
Investors should also be aware
of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
● Our officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which
may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their
other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of
our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers
are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs
● Through our sponsor, our management team purchased founder shares prior to the date of the Initial Public
Offering and purchased private units in a transaction that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. 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 shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business
combination. Additionally, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the
trust account with respect to their founder shares and the private shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within
the prescribed time frame, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account. If we do
not complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, the private units will expire worthless. Furthermore,
our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) six months after the completion of our initial business
combination or (ii) the date following the completion of our initial business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger,
share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares
for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals
or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like)
for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after our initial business combination, the founder
shares will be released from the lockup. The private units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those
component securities) will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our initial business combination. Because
each of our officers and director nominees will own ordinary shares or warrants indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
● Members of our management team indirectly own our securities through their ownership interests in the
sponsor, and accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business
with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Our management team will have invested in us, through the sponsor, an aggregate
of $712,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the founder shares (or approximately $0.005 per share) and the $687,500 purchase
price for the private units (or $10.00 per unit), which will be forfeited if we fail to consummate an initial business combination. Accordingly,
our management team may be more willing to pursue a business combination with a riskier or less-established target business than would
be the case if our sponsor had paid the same per share price for the founder shares as our public shareholders paid for their public shares
or if the private units would not lose their value if an initial business combination is not consummated.

Table of Contents
● Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business
combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any
agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
● In the event our sponsor or members of our management team provide loans to us to finance transaction
costs and/or incur expenses on our behalf in connection with an initial business combination, such persons may have a conflict of interest
in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination
as such loans may not be repaid and/or such expenses may not be reimbursed unless we consummate such business combination.
● Similarly, if we agree to pay our sponsor or a member of our management team a finder’s fee, advisory
fee, consulting fee or success fee in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business combination, such persons may have a
conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial
business combination as any such fee may not be paid unless we consummate such business combination.
● We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated
with our sponsor, officers or directors, non-managing sponsor investors, or completing the business combination through a joint venture
or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors or non-managing sponsor investors; accordingly, such affiliated
person(s) may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which
to effectuate our initial business combination as such affiliated person(s) would have interests different from our public shareholders
and would likely not receive any financial benefit unless we consummated such business combination. 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 (including its members), 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.
We cannot assure you that
any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our company’s favor.
In the event that we
submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote
their founder shares and private shares, and any shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination,
aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not
be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction. The non-managing sponsor investors are not required to (i) hold
any units, Class A ordinary shares or public warrants they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount
of time, (ii) vote any Class A ordinary shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination
or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their public shares at the time of our initial business combination. The non-managing
sponsor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying
the units they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to our other public shareholders. However, the non-managing
sponsor investors will potentially have different interests than our other public shareholders in approving our initial business combination
and otherwise exercising their rights as public shareholders because of their indirect ownership of founder shares and private units,
as further discussed in this Annual Report
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not
limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association will provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by
law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through
their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances
and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors
have agreed, and any persons who may become officers or directors prior to the initial business combination will agree, to waive any right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any
kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the
trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we
have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our indemnification obligations
may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
84
Table of Contents
We believe that these provisions,
the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Insider Trading Policy
Our board of directors has
adopted an insider trading policy placing restrictions on transactions in our common and preferred equity, debt securities, options and
derivative instruments with respect to such securities, such as exchange-traded put or call options or swaps, securities that are convertible
into or exchangeable for other securities, as well as common units representing partner interests. Such restrictions apply to our directors,
executive officers, and other employees who have access to material non-public information, and include, but are not limited to, prohibition
from trading in our securities during blackout periods and pre-clearance requirements for all transactions in our securities. We believe
that our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable
listing standards. Although the Company is not subject to our insider trading policy, the Company does not trade in its securities when
it is in possession of material nonpublic information other than pursuant to previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Executive Officer Director Compensation
After the completion of our
initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees
from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation
materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors
of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation.
Any compensation to be paid
to our executive officers by the Company will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any
action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination,
although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with
us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions
with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability
of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision
to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for
benefits upon termination of employment.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters
The following table sets forth
information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of the date of this Annual Report by:
● each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares;
● each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our ordinary shares; and
● all our executive officers and director as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated,
we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of our ordinary shares beneficially
owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the private warrants as these warrants are not exercisable
within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report.
85
Table of Contents
On August 6, 2025, our sponsor
purchased, and the Company issued to the sponsor, 4,791,667 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or approximately
$0.005 per share.
Prior to the initial investment
in the Company of $25,000 by the sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The purchase price of the founder shares
was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued. The number of founder
shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 14,375,000 units
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such founder shares would represent 25% of
the outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (not including the Class A ordinary shares that are included within the private
units).
The non-managing sponsor investors
have purchased (i) up to an aggregate of approximately 4,950,000 units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price, or up to
39.6 % of the offering and (ii) through the sponsor, an aggregate of 260,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit ($2,600,000
in the aggregate); subject to each non-managing sponsor investor purchasing the public units allocated to it in connection with the Initial
Public Offering, the sponsor issued membership interests at a nominal purchase price ($0.005 per share) to the non-managing sponsor investors
at the closing of the Initial Public Offering reflecting interests in an aggregate of 2,080,000 founder shares.

(1) The business address for each of the following is 350 Springfield
Avenue, Suite 200, Summit, NJ 07078.
(2) LeapFrog Partners LLC, our sponsor, is the record holder of
the shares. LeapFrog Management LLC is the managing member of LeapFrog Partners LLC. Matthew R. Pollard, Abhay N. Pande and Kevin M.
Murphy are the managing members of LeapFrog Management LLC and share voting and dispositive power over the shares held. Each of Mr. Pollard,
Mr. Pande and Mr. Murphy disclaims any beneficial ownership of the securities held by LeapFrog Partners LLC other than to the extent
of any pecuniary interest they may individually have therein, directly or indirectly.
Immediately after the Initial
Public Offering, our initial shareholders beneficially owned 25% of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares (not including the
Class A ordinary shares that are included within the private units). Prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders
of our 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 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). Because of this ownership block, our initial shareholders may be able to effectively influence the outcome of all other
matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the appointment and removal of directors or continuing the 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),
and approval of significant corporate transactions including our initial business combination.
Our sponsor and BTIG purchased
an aggregate of 472,500 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $4,725,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that occurred
simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Of these private units, our management team purchased 328,750 private
units and BTIG purchased 143,750 private units.
The non-managing sponsor
investors purchased, through the purchase of non-managing sponsor membership interests, an aggregate of 260,000 private units
($2,600,000 in the aggregate) at a price of $10.00 per in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the
Initial Public Offering. The sponsor issued membership interests at a nominal purchase price to the non-managing sponsor investors
reflecting interests in an aggregate of 2,080,000 founder shares held by the sponsor.

Table of Contents
The private units are identical
to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, the
private units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities) (i) may not,
subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our
initial business combination, (ii) will be entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to private warrants comprising
part of the private units held by BTIG and/or their designees, will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement
of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). A portion of the purchase price of the private
units was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering which was held in the trust account such that at the time of closing
of the Initial Public Offering $143,750.000 was held in the trust account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within
the completion window, the private units will expire worthless. The private units are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth
in the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreements included as exhibits to our Annual Report.
LeapFrog Partners LLC, our
sponsor, and our officers and directors are deemed to be our “promoters” as such term is defined under the federal securities
laws.
Changes in Control
None.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions
In August 2025, our sponsor
purchased, and the Company issued to the sponsor, 4,791,667 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. As a result
our sponsor has purchased and holds an aggregate of 4,791,667 Class B ordinary shares (up to 625,000 of which were subject to forfeiture
by the holders thereof if the underwriters’ over-allotment option had not been exercised in full).
The number of founder shares
outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 14,375,000
units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such founder shares would represent 25%
of the outstanding shares after the offering (not including the Class A ordinary shares that are included within the private units).
Our management team,
through our sponsor, and BTIG purchased an aggregate of 472,500 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $4,725,000 in the aggregate
, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Of those private units, our sponsor
purchased 328,750 private units (of which our management team indirectly purchased 68,750 units) and BTIG purchased 143,750 private units.
The non-managing sponsor
investors indirectly purchased, through the purchase of non-managing sponsor membership interests, an aggregate of 260,000 private units
at a price of $10.00 per ($2,600,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering. Subject to each non-managing sponsor investor purchasing the public units allocated to it in connection with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the sponsor issued membership interests at a nominal purchase price to the non-managing sponsor investors
reflecting interests in an aggregate of 2,080,000 founder shares held by the sponsor. The private units are identical to the units sold
in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private units (including
the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities) (i) may not, subject to certain limited
exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination,
(ii) will be entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to private warrants included as part of the private units
held by BTIG and/or their designees, will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public
Offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).
Prior to or in connection
with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the Company to our sponsor, officers or directors, advisor,
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 funds held outside the trust account.
Prior to the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, our sponsor agreed to loan us funds in an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the
expenses of the Initial Public Offering. These loans would be non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of the closing
of the Initial Public Offering or the date on which we determine not to conduct an initial public offering. A total of $75,124 was drawn
down and repaid on the closing of our Initial Public Offering.
In addition, in order to 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 on a non-interest basis. If we complete an
initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we
may use amounts held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,200,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units of the post business combination entity at a price of
$10.00 per unit at the option of the applicable lender. Such units would be identical to the private units. Except as set forth above,
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.
87
Table of Contents
We have until the date that
is 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may
approve, to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business combination
within such 24-month period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. There are no limitations on the number of times we may
seek shareholder approval for an extension or the length of time of any such extension. However, if we seek shareholder approval for an
extension, holders of public shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law.
Any of the foregoing payments
to our sponsor, repayments of loans from our sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial business combination
will be made using funds held outside the trust account.
After our initial business
combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company
with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer
materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution
of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as
it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
Under a registration rights
agreement signed in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company granted registration rights to the holders of the (i) founder
shares, (ii) private units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities),
which were issued in the private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iii) units (including
the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities) that may be issued upon conversion of working
capital loans to the Company.
Pursuant to the registration
rights agreement and assuming that $1,200,000 of working capital loans are converted into private units, the Company will be obligated
to register up to 12,867,917 Class A ordinary shares. The Class A ordinary shares to be registered include (i) 7,187,500
shares underlying the public warrants, (ii) 4,791,667 shares to be issued upon conversion of the founder shares, (iii) 472,500 shares
underlying the private units, (iv) 236,250 shares underlying the private warrants, (v) 120,000 shares underlying the units issued
upon conversion of working capital loans, and (vi) 60,000 shares underlying the working capital private warrants. The Company agreed
to use commercially reasonable efforts to register and maintain the current registration of shares issuable under the warrants. The holders
of founder shares and private units are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register
such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements
filed subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions
The audit committee of our
board of directors will adopt a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval or ratification of “related
party transactions.” A “related party transaction” is any consummated or proposed transaction or series of transactions:
(i) in which the company was or is to be a participant; (ii) the amount of which exceeds (or is reasonably expected to exceed)
the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the company’s total assets at year-end for the prior two completed fiscal years
in the aggregate over the duration of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss); and (iii) in which a “related party”
had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related parties” under this policy will include: (i) our
directors, nominees for director or officers or any person who has served in such roles since the beginning of the most recent fiscal
year, even if he or she does not currently serve in that role; (ii) any record or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of
our voting securities; (iii) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing if the foregoing person is a natural person; and
(iv) any other person who maybe a “related person” pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction,
including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third
party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction contravenes our
code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship underlying the transaction to be in
the best interests of the company and its shareholders and (v) if the related party is a director or an immediate family member of
a director, the effect that the transaction may have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or
her eligibility to serve on the board’s committees. Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction,
including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if
our audit committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy will not
permit any director or officer to participate in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or
she is the related party.
We are not prohibited from
paying any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates,
for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, all of which, if made prior
to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account.
Director Independence
Nasdaq rules require that
a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director”
is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the
listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Angell, Hyatt and Narayan are “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq
listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent
directors are present.

although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation
of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Leapfrog Acquisition Corporation:
Opinion on the Financial Statement
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Leapfrog Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, changes
in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from June 20, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statement”). In our opinion, the financial statement present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period from June 20, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
This financial statement is the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 4
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ WithumSmith + Brown, P.C.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

DECEMBER

NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Leapfrog
Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on June
20, 2025 . The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The
Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target. The Company is not limited to a particular or geographic region
for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 20, 2025 (inception)
through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”),
which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination,
at the earliest. The Company generates 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 December 4, 2025. On December 8, 2025,
the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,375,000 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 1,875,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 143,750,000 .
Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 472,500 units including 37,500 additional
units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of
$ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Company’s sponsor,
Leapfrog Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and BTIG, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds
of $ 4,725,000 . Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the
“Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Of
the 472,500 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 328,750 Private Placement Units, and BTIG purchased 143,750 Private
Placement Units. Out of the aggregate amount of $ 4,725,000 , the amount of $ 2,940,000 was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public
Offering held in the Trust Account (as defined below) and the amount of $ 1,785,000 was transferred to the operating bank account.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 8,293,874 , consisting of $ 2,875,000 of cash underwriting fees, $ 5,031,250 of deferred underwriting commissions
which will be paid on the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and $ 387,624 of other offering costs.
The
Company’s board of directors has broad discretion in determining the fair market value of a target business. While the Company
generally must acquire a target with a fair market value of at least 80 % of the Trust Account (defined below) assets, this requirement
does not apply if the Company is delisted from Nasdaq. An independent third-party valuation is only required if the board cannot make
this determination or if the target is affiliated with insiders. The Company expects to acquire 100 % of a target’s equity or assets
but may acquire less or merge directly with the target. The transaction must result in the Company owning at least 50 % of the target’s
voting securities or gaining control sufficient to avoid classification 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.
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $ 143,750,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee and 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, until the earliest of (i) the completion of an initial Business Combination, (ii)
the redemption of the Public Shares (defined below) if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Completion
Window (defined below), subject to applicable law, and (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with
a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or
timing of obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the
Completion Window (defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial
business combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of creditors, if any, which
could have priority over the claims of public shareholders.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER

The
Company will provide its Class A ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the
consummation of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer.
All
of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in this offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption
of such Public Shares in connection with liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with initial Business
Combination and in connection with certain amendments to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance
with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary
shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares were presented as temporary
equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Class A ordinary shares
sold as part of the units in the offering were issued with other freestanding instruments, the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary
shares classified as temporary equity were the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The resulting discount to
the initial carrying value of temporary equity was accreted upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering such that the carrying value
was equal the redemption value on such date. The accretion or remeasurement is recognized as a reduction to retained earnings, or in
the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded
from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Each
public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for
or against the proposed transaction. In addition, initial shareholders, directors and executive officers have entered into a letter agreement,
pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Shares
and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing redemption rights, the Company’s 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 Securities Exchange of Act 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares
sold in this offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The
Company has determined not to have a minimum net tangible asset requirement to consummate any Business Combination which could be
subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act (defined in Note 2). Moreover, if the Company seeks to consummate an
initial Business Combination with a target business that imposes any type of working capital closing condition or requires the
Company to have a minimum amount of funds available from the Trust Account upon consummation of such initial Business Combination,
its net tangible asset threshold may limit the Company’s ability to consummate such initial Business Combination (as the
Company may be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed) and may force the Company to seek third-party financing which
may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result, the Company may not be able to consummate such an
initial Business Combination and the Company may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if
at all.
If
the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within 24 months (which can be extended) from the Closing of
the Initial Public Offering (the “Completion Window”), the Company 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, subject to lawfully available
funds therefor, redeem 100 % of 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 (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $ 100,000 )
divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public
Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to
applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining
shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as
a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders. In the event of liquidation and
subsequent dissolution, the warrants will expire and will be worthless.
Going
Concern Consideration
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 1,395,995 in its operating bank account and a working capital surplus of $ 1,268,205 . The Company
has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and
to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. Management plans to complete
a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund
its operations until then. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be
successful within the Completion Window or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 205-40, “Presentation
of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management concluded that the liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management
has determined that, pursuant to the proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, it has access to funds that alleviate the substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations
of the SEC.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 independent registered public
accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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 a 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

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 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 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.
Warrant
Instruments
The
Company has accounted for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and
the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company
evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned value. As of December 31, 2025, there were
7,187,500 Public Warrants and 236,250 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.
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 $ 1,395,995 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Cash
Held in Trust Account
At
December 31, 2025, the cash held in the Trust Account amounted to $ 144,087,613 , which is being held in an interest-bearing deposit account
at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and liquidation.
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 Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering
costs consisted principally of legal and other costs (including underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred that are directly related
to the Initial Public Offering. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds
from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering
proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then 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 the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, after management’s evaluation, are accounted
for under equity treatment.

Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
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.
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that is included in the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
ASC
Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of tax positions 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is
the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, there are no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties.
The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation
from its position.
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 financial statements.
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 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 amount 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,
at December 31, 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 balance sheet, as 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.” The statement of
operations includes a presentation of income per redeemable share and income per non-redeemable share following the two-class method
of income per share. In order to determine the net income attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company
first considered the undistributed income allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income
is calculated using the total net income less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income ratably based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. The calculation of diluted net income
per share does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of the warrants is contingent
upon the occurrence of a future event.
At
December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted
into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as
basic net income per ordinary share for the period presented.
The
following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Recent
Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim
basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as
well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires
that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of
segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to
provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are
required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This standard was effective for the Company starting June 20, 2025 (inception) and
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements (see Note 9).
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In
its Initial Public Offering on December 8, 2025, the Company sold 14,375,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,875,000 Units at a purchase 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 a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Warrant will become
exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial
Business Combination , or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC purchased an aggregate of 472,500 Private Placement Units,
including underwriters’ over-allotment of 37,500 units, at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit), or $ 4,725,000 in
the aggregate, in a private placement. Of those 472,500 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 328,750 Private
Placement Units, including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 18,750 units, at a price of $ 10.00 and BTIG, LLC purchased 143,750 Private
Placement Units, including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 18,750 units, at a price of $ 10.00 with the underwriters paying
for their units via a reduction in the cash underwriting discount due from the Company. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A
ordinary share and one-half of one Private Placement Warrant. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder
to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Of
the Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor, non-managing sponsor investors have indirectly purchased, through the purchase
of non-managing sponsor membership interests, an aggregate of 260,000 units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise
of 18,750 units), at a price of $ 10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,600,000 . An agreement with
the non-managing investors was entered into directly with the Sponsor entity and it makes reference to the Private Placement
Units and Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) of the Company. The interests and units associated in the agreement are supported on
one for one basis with the Company’s underlying Private Placement Units and Founder Shares.
Each
Private Placement Unit will be identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that it will not be redeemable,
transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor or underwriters until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination,
except transfers permitted (a) to officers, directors, advisors or consultants, any affiliate or family member of any of the officers,
directors, advisors or consultants, any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates and funds and accounts advised by such
members or partners, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, as a gift
to such person’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such person’s immediate family,
an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution
upon death of such person; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or
transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement, in connection with an extension of the Completion
Window or in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants
were originally purchased; (f) pro rata distributions from the Sponsor to its respective members, partners or shareholders pursuant to
the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement or other charter documents; (g) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware
or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor; (h) in the event of liquidation prior to
consummation of initial Business Combination; (i) in the event that, subsequent to consummation of an initial Business Combination, the
Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of shareholders having the
right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; or (j) to a nominee or custodian of a person
or entity to whom a transfer would be permissible under clauses (a) through (g); provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through
(g) and clause (j) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions
and the other restrictions contained in the letter agreements.

The
Founder Shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that:
● the
Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions; and
● the
Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.
The
Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption
rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of an initial
Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares
in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to a post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
(a) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or to
redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or
(b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity;
(iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement
Shares if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled
to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete an initial
Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them and
any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions,
aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted
in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of an initial Business Combination.
The
Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation
of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share
subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in
excess of the amounts sold in this offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination,
the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so
that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 25 %
of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of this offering (including any
Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares
that are included within the private units), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity linked securities issued or deemed
issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued,
or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private units issued to the Sponsor or any of its
affiliates or to our officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary
shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination and any Class A ordinary shares redeemed by Public
Shareholders in connection with any amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association made prior to the
consummation of the initial Business Combination (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow
redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not
complete an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating
to the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares or pre-business combination activity; provided that such conversion of Founder
Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
With
certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to officers and directors and other
persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of
(A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination,
the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days
after 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 .

Administrative
Services Agreement
Commencing
on December 8, 2025, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $ 10,000 for office space, utilities,
secretarial support and administrative support. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination
or the distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders. As of December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 7,500 in fees
for these services, of which such amount is included in due to Sponsor in the accompanying balance sheet.
In
addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due
diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were
made to the Sponsor, officers or directors of the Company or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination
will be made from working capital or funds held outside the Trust Account.
Promissory
Note – Related Party
On
August 21, 2025, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to
an aggregate of $ 300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering (the “Promissory Note”).
The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of March 31, 2026 or the completion of the Initial Public
Offering. During the period from June 20, 2025 (inception) through December 8, 2025, the Company borrowed $ 75,124 under the Promissory
Note, including $ 1,000 transferred from due to related party. On December 8, 2025, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the
Company repaid the then outstanding balance, $ 75,124 , and the Promissory Note is no longer available to be drawn upon. As of December
31, 2025, the Company had $ 0 outstanding under the Promissory Note.
Due
to Related Party
The
Sponsor pays certain formation, operating or deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company. These amounts are due on demand and non-interest
bearing. During the period from June 20, 2025 (inception) through December 8, 2025, the Sponsor paid $ 26,000 on behalf of the Company,
of which $ 25,000 was paid in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and $ 1,000 was transferred to the Promissory Note, resulting
in no balances due to related party as of December 31, 2025.
Working
Capital Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 on
a non-interest basis. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that
the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use amounts held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts
but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $ 1,200,000 of such loans may be convertible into private
units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit at the option of the applicable lender. Such units would
be identical to the private units. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written
agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2025, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Rights
The
holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii)
Private Placement Units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities), which were
issued in a Private Placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iii) private placement-equivalent units
(including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities) that may be issued upon conversion
of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities
held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant
to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering.
Pursuant
to the registration rights agreement and assuming $ 1,200,000 of Working Capital Loans are converted into private units, the Company will
be obligated to register up to 5,680,417 Class A ordinary shares. The number of Class A ordinary shares includes (i) 4,791,667 Class
A ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of Founder Shares, (ii) 472,500 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement
Units, (iii) 236,250 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Warrants, (iv) 120,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the units
issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and (v) 60,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants included in the
units issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans.
The
holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities.
In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the completion of an initial Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the underwriters may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the
effective date of the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part. In addition, the underwriters may participate in a
“piggyback” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement
of which the prospectus forms a part. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
On
December 8, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full to purchase 1,875,000 additional Units at the Initial
Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
The
underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Unit, or $ 2,875,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of
the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $ 0.35 per Unit, or $ 5,031,250 in the aggregate,
payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account only upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination,
subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
U.S. and global markets are facing volatility due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas and U.S.-Iran conflicts. These
events may disrupt supply chains, increase cyber threats, and cause commodity price swings. Sanctions and geopolitical tensions
could destabilize financial markets. U.S. tariffs and trade uncertainties may raise business costs and reduce margins. The overall
impact on operations, liquidity, and potential Business Combinations remains uncertain.
Any
of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions
resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas and U.S.-Iran conflicts and subsequent sanctions or related
actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which
the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

$ 0.005 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 4,791,667 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Prior
to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote on the
appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands.
Holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative
vote of the holders representing at least 90% of the issued Class B ordinary shares. With respect to any other matter submitted to a
vote of its shareholders, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by law, holders
of the Founder Shares and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the
holder to one vote.
The
Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier
at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association (see Note 5 for related disclosure).
Warrants
— On December 8, 2025, 7,187,500 Public Warrants and 236,250 Private Placement Warrants were issued as part of the Initial
Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively.
The
gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering were allocated to the Public Warrants based on fair value, with $ 2,824,688 recorded in
shareholders’ deficit related to the Public Warrants on December 8, 2025. The warrants are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring
basis.
For
Public Warrants, each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share,
subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on the date that is 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, provided
that the Company have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless
basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration
under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder
may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given
time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly,
unless warrant holders purchase at least two units, holders will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire
five years after the completion of the initial 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 warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such 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 satisfying obligations described below
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 after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part or a new registration
statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and
thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial
Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60) business day after the closing of the initial 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. Notwithstanding the above, if 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 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 so
elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ 30 -day redemption period”); and
● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The
Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance
of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class
A ordinary shares is available throughout the measurement period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may not
exercise its redemption right if the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration
or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification. The Company
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such ordinary shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence
in those states in which the warrants were offered by the Company in this offering. The Company has established the last of the redemption
criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise
price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will
be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares
may fall below the $ 18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) as well as the $ 11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
The
Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering.
The
Company assessed the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants to determine whether they should be classified as equity or liability
instruments. This assessment was based on an evaluation of the specific terms of each instrument and applicable authoritative guidance
in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”
(“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instrument is freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480 meets
the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instrument meets all of the requirements for equity classification
under ASC 815, including whether the instrument is indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity
classification. Pursuant to such evaluation, both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants have been classified in shareholders’
deficit.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement 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 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 statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key
metrics which include net income or loss comprised of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account and
general and administrative expenses:
December 31,
2025
Total assets
$ 145,667,472
For the
Period from
June 20,
2025
(Inception)
Through
December 31,
2025
Interest earned on cash held in Trust Account
$ 337,613
General and administrative expenses
$ 132,317
The
key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM is net income or loss, which is comprised of interest and dividends earned
on cash and investments held in Trust Account and general and administrative expenses. Net income or loss is reviewed and monitored by
the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window.
The
CODM reviews interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and
determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.
The CODM reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned
with all agreements and the budget.
NOTE
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements
were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure
in the financial statements.
