Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such
as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the
supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31,
2025.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
As
required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company,
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our Management and directors, and
37
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial
statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, Management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, Management determined that we maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
This
Report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our
status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes
to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
Trading Arrangements
During the quarterly period
ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted
or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term
is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
Additional Information
None.

41
Our advisors assist us in
sourcing and negotiating with potential Business Combination targets and provide their business insights when we assess potential Business
Combination targets. In this regard, they fulfill some of the same functions as our Board members. However, they have no written advisory
agreement with us. Our advisors are not under any fiduciary obligations to us nor do they perform Board or committee functions. They also
are not required to devote any specific amount of time to our efforts or be subject to the fiduciary requirements to which our Board members
are subject. Accordingly, if any of our advisors becomes aware of a Business Combination opportunity that is suitable for any of the entities
to which he has fiduciary or contractual obligations (including other blank check companies), he will honor his fiduciary or contractual
obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity.
We may modify or expand our roster of advisors as we source potential Business Combination targets or create value in businesses that
we may acquire.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and
Directors
Our Board of Directors consists
of four 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. In accordance with the 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 consists of Mr. Pierce and Mr. Shanahan, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of
office of the second class of directors, which consists of Ms. Eisenhart, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of
office of the third class of directors, which consists of Mr. McEntee, will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Prior to the closing of our
initial Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on (i) the appointment and removal
of directors and (ii) continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to
amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by
way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Our Public Shareholders are not entitled to vote on such matters during
such time. These provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles relating to these rights of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares may
be amended by a Special Resolution of the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares.
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 Articles.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has
two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Subject to phase-in rules, the Nasdaq Rules and Rule 10A-3
of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
We have established the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors. Ms. Eisenhart, Mr. Pierce and Mr. Shanahan serve as the members of our Audit Committee. Under
the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the Audit Committee, all of whom must be independent.
Ms. Eisenhart, Mr. Pierce and Mr. Shanahan are each independent.
42
Ms. Eisenhart serves as the
chairwoman of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined
that Ms. Eisenhart 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 (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (iv) 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 registered public accounting firm 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 (i) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) 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;
●
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 statement or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other regulatory authorities;
●
advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of Rule 10D-1 under the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule; and
●
implementing and overseeing our cybersecurity and information security policies, and periodically reviewing the policies and managing potential cybersecurity incidents.
Compensation Committee
We have established the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Pierce, Mr. Shanahan and Ms. Eisenhart. Mr. Pierce
serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a Compensation
Committee of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. Ms. Eisenhart and Messrs. Shanahan and Pierce are each independent.
43
We have adopted a Compensation
Committee charter, which 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;
●
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;
●
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and
●
advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change and perform any other tasks required of it by the Clawback Policy, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule.
The Compensation Committee
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 is 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.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing
nominating committee though we would form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or the
Nasdaq Rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(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 participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Mr. Pierce, Mr. Shanahan and Ms. Eisenhart.
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.
44
The Board of Directors also
considers 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
Articles.
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, our Public Shareholders do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination
to our Board of Directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted the Code of
Ethics. 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 rules or the 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 Report 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.
The foregoing description
of the Code of Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Code of Ethics,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.
Trading Policies
On October 7, 2024, we adopted
the Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees,
which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq Rules.
The
foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and
conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
None of our executive officers
or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us as of the date of this Report.
Our Audit Committee reviews
on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such
payments prior to an initial Business Combination are made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly Audit Committee
review of such reimbursements, we do not have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement or payments to our directors
and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with
identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination.
45
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, including the following
payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, have been and will continue to paid from funds
held outside the Trust Account:

Payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our independent directors, advisors, or their respective affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination;
●
We may engage our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial Business Combination and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable transactions;
●
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination; and
●
Repayment of Working Capital Loans that may be made by our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans.
Any compensation to be paid
to our executive officers 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.
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 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 Business Combination, because the directors of the post-combination business
will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation.
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 executive 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 executive officers
and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy
On October 7, 2024, our Board
of Directors approved the adoption of the Clawback Policy in order to comply with the SEC Clawback Rule, and the Nasdaq Rules, as set
forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. At no time during the fiscal year covered by this Report were
we required to prepare an accounting restatement that required recovery of an erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback
Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 97.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 26, 2026 based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the
beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by:
●
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares;
●
each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and
●
all our executive officers and directors as a group.
In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 28,750,000 Ordinary
Shares, consisting of (i) 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of
March 26, 2026. On all matters to be voted upon, except for (i) the appointment and removal of directors of the Board and (ii) continuing
our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares vote together
as a single class, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Currently, all of the Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class
A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
Unless otherwise indicated,
we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially
owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants as such Private Placement
Warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Report.

Our Sponsor beneficially owns
20.00% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Only holders of Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to appoint directors
in any election held prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination. Holders of our Public Shares do
not have the right to appoint any directors to our Board of Directors prior to our initial Business Combination. Because of this ownership
block, our Sponsor may be able to effectively influence the outcome of all other matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including
amendments to our Amended and Restated Articles and approval of significant corporate transactions, including our initial Business Combination.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
On
May 13, 2024, our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain expenses on our behalf in consideration of
5,750,00 Founder Shares. 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 23,000,000 Units if the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder
Shares would represent approximately 20% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering. Of the 5,750,000 Founder
Shares outstanding, up to 750,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised.
On October 9, 2024, simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full, so those 750,000
Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Simultaneously
with the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of
an aggregate of 5,750,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $1.00 per
Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $7,075,000. Of those 7,075,000 Private Placement Warrants, (i)
our Sponsor purchased 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants, and (ii) Cantor purchased 2,575,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Private
Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees,
the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants), 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 Placement
Warrants held by Cantor and/or its 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). If we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the
Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
49
Pursuant
to the Administrative Services Agreement, we currently utilize office space at 180 Grand Avenue, Suite 1530, Oakland CA 94612 from Launchpad
Capital Management Company LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor. We pay such affiliate $12,500 per month for certain office space, utilities
and secretarial and administrative support provided to members of our Management Team; upon completion of our initial Business Combination
or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. As of December 31, 2024, we have paid $34,274 pursuant to the Administrative
Services Agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we incurred $150,000
and $0, respectively, in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accrued expenses in the balance sheets of the financial
statements included elsewhere this Report.
Our
Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business
Combinations. Our Audit Committee reviews, on a quarterly basis, all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our
or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination are made from funds held outside the Trust Account.
Prior to the closing of our
Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses
related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2024
or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $300,000 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering
on October 9, 2024. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.
In order to fund working capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors
or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination,
we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a
price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Other than as set forth above, the terms
of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans.
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital 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.
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 have been and will continue to 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.
50
Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) any private
placement-equivalent warrants issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying
securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register
such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the
majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities.
In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act. Cantor may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date
of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, Cantor may participate in a “piggyback” registration only during the seven-year
period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing
of any such registration statements.
Our
Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating
distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period.
Additionally,
pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles
to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to
redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other
material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public
Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and
not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
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 each of Ms. Eisenhart, Mr. Shanahan and Mr. Pierce are “independent directors”
as defined in the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent
directors are present.
Item 14 . Principal Accountant Fees and
Services.
The following is a summary
of fees paid or to be paid to Withum for services rendered.
Audit Fees
Audit fees consist of the
aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the (audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided
by Withum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Withum for professional services rendered for the (i) audit of
our annual financial statements and (ii) review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and
other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December
31, 2024 totaled approximately $101,920 and $82,160, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well
as attendance at Audit Committee meetings.
51
Audit-Related Fees
Audit-related fees consist
of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our
financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required
by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Withum for any audit-related
fees for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.
Tax Fees
Tax
fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.
We paid Withum $4,160 and $0 for tax services, planning or advice for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from May 13, 2024
(inception) through December 31, 2024, respectively.
All Other Fees
All
other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for all other services. We did not pay Withum for any other services for
the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.
Pre-Approval Policy
Our Audit Committee was formed
upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services,
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
non-audit services performed and to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis
exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the
audit).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Launch Two Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of Launch Two Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from May 13, 2024 (Inception) through December 31, 2024,
and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Launch Two Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from May 13, 2024 (Inception) through December
31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Launch Two Acquisition Corp. will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if Launch Two Acquisition Corp. is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity
needs and complete a business combination by October 9, 2026, unless extended, then Launch Two Acquisition Corp. will cease all operations
except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial
doubt about Launch Two Acquisition Corp.’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters
are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are
a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required
to be independent with respect to Launch Two Acquisition Corp. 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 audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Launch Two Acquisition Corp. is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, 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 entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Launch Two Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a
blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on May 13, 2024. 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 may pursue an initial Business Combination in any business
or industry. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into a definitive agreement with any specific Business Combination target.
The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage
and emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activities for the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relate to the Company’s
formation, and since the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target
company and negotiating the terms of a Business Combination. 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 on investments
from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the
Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 24, 2024 (File
No. 333-280965), was declared effective on October 7, 2024 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On October 9, 2024,
the Company consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of
the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 3,000,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $ 10.00 per Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $ 230,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consists
of one Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect
to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company
(the “Public Warrants”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,075,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”,
and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement
to (i) the Company’s sponsor, Launch Two Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and (ii) Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”),
the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”), generating gross proceeds
to the Company of $ 7,075,000 (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Of those 7,075,000 Private Placement
Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,575,000 Private Placement 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.
Additionally, at the closing of the Initial Public
Offering on October 9, 2024, the Company paid the Underwriters the cash underwriting discount of 2.0 % of gross proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering, or $ 4,000,000 in the aggregate.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 15,615,485 , consisting
of $ 4,000,000 of cash underwriting discount, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $ 10,950,000 and $ 665,485 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management (“Management”)
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the
Deferred Fee).
F- 7
LAUNCH TWO ACQUISITION CORP.

December

The Business Combination must be with one or more
target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below)
(excluding the amount of the Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account, if any) at the time of the
signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business
Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling
interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate
a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
on October 9, 2024, an amount of $ 231,150,000 ($ 10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement
was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. Department of
the Treasury (“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 that invest only in direct Treasury obligations; the holding of these assets
in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk
that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer
that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on Management’s ongoing assessment
of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the
investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit
account at a bank. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to
pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account
until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the
Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by October 9, 2026 or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s
board of directors may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (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 (as currently in effect, the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to modify (1) 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 has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) 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 the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the
Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either
(i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote
by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their
Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as
of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations
of applicable law and the Amended and Restated Articles. As of December 31, 2025, the amount in the Trust Account was $ 10.58 per Public
Share.
The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject
to possible redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity at the completion of the Initial Public
Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

The Company has only the duration of the Combination
Period to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the
Combination Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and as promptly as reasonably possible,
but not more than ten business days after the Combination Period, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in
cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
(less taxes payable and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s
obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered
into a letter agreement with the Company, dated July 11, 2024, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights
with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business
Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination
if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote
to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) 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 has not consummated
an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights
or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect
to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, 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 the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust
Account; and (iii) vote any Founder 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor
of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable
to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective
target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business
Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.05 per Public Share and (ii) the
actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.05 per
Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply
to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust
Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified
whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets
are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had operating
cash of $ 250,079 and a working capital surplus of $ 203,333 . The Company uses the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify
and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants
or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements
of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue
to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional
investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor
may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5), from time to time or at any time, in whatever
amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may
not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional
measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit
of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available
to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have
sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
Management plans to address this uncertainty through
a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently October 9, 2026,
there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. In connection with the Company’s assessment of
going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern,”
Management has determined the Company’s liquidity condition, the date of mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a Going Concern.
NOTE 2. 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 (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the
“JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in
its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation
and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS
Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies
(that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that 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 or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the accompanying financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) emerging
growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences
in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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 accompanying financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change
in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $ 250,079 and $ 935,701 in cash
and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust
Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is
comprised of cash and U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with
a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally
have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised
of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities, which are presented at fair value. Gains and losses
resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income on cash and marketable securities held in
Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined
using available market information. At December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account of $ 243,358,236 were held in money market
funds. At December 31, 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account of $ 233,538,339 were held in Treasury Bills.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company recorded $ 9,819,897 and $ 2,281,141 , respectively, of interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account
in the accompanying statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on
the Trust Account.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of
FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that
are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the
allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to
allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by
allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs
allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants were charged to shareholders’
deficit as the Warrants were accounted for under equity treatment based on the equity classification of the underlying financial instruments,
after Management’s evaluation.
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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB
ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for
income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the accompanying financial statements and
tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable
to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the accompanying financial statements 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. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were
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.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman
Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing
requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for 11,500,000 Public Warrants
and 7,075,000 Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance
with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the
Company evaluated and recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at fair value. Such guidance provides that the Warrants
described above were not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated
value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance
with ASC 480 and ASC 815.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible
Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature
that 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 initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the
redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately
as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
At closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change
in the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available)
and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented
at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying balance sheets. As of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the

Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary
shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per Ordinary Share
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period, excluding Ordinary
Shares subject to forfeiture. Prior to the IPO, weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 750,000 Ordinary
Shares that would have been subject to forfeiture had the Over-Allotment Option not been exercised by the Underwriters.

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) Topic 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), requiring public entities to disclose additional
information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In the Initial Public Offering, on October 9,
2024, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units,
at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Public Share, and one-half of one 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 (see Note 7).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 7,075,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one
Class A Ordinary Share at $ 11.50 per share, at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $ 7,075,000 in the aggregate. Of those
7,075,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,575,000 Private
Placement Warrants. 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 (see Note 7).
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to
the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, or their permitted
transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these
Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days
after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) are entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to
the Private Placement Warrants held by Cantor and/or its designees, will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement
of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(8).

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On May 13, 2024, the Sponsor made a capital
contribution of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s expenses, for which the Company issued
5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”,
and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”).
Up to 750,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to surrender by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the
Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On October 9, 2024, the Underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the
closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed
not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until
the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the
Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results
in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other
property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of such initial holders of the Founder
Shares with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) 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 150 days
after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination that
results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property,
the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.
IPO Promissory Note
The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate
of up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “IPO
Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2024 or the closing
of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had borrowed $ 0 and $ 300,000 , respectively, under the IPO
Promissory Note. The Company repaid all the outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note at the closing of the Initial Public Offering
on October 9, 2024 and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
Advance from Related Party
Prior to the initial public offering, the Company
received a $ 42,923 advance from the Sponsor. The Company repaid the advance in full upon the closing of the initial public offering. As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no amounts outstanding.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement with an
affiliate of the Sponsor pursuant to which, commencing on October 7, 2024, through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business
Combination or the liquidation, the Company pays an aggregate of $ 12,500 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative
support. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $ 150,000 in fees for these services, which amounts are included
in the accompanying statements of operations. For the period from May 13, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company incurred
and paid $ 34,274 in fees for these services, which amounts are included in the accompanying statements of operations.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes
a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the
Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from
the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible
into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants
would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability
to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s
control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in
laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases
in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability,
such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia
or other armed hostilities. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration
or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued
upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans 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, dated October 7, 2024. 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 the initial Business Combination. The Company will
bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In addition, Cantor may participate in a
piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.
Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriters had a 45 -day option from the
date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the
“Over-Allotment Option”). On October 9, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters
elected to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Option Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Option
Unit.
The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting
discount of $ 4,000,000 ( 2.0 % of the gross proceeds of the Units, excluding any proceeds pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option), which
was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of
4.50 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, and 6.50 % of
the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, $ 10,950,000 in the aggregate payable upon the completion of the initial
Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated October 7, 2024, by and between the Company and Cantor
(such fee, the “Deferred Fee”).
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of
5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

The Company is authorized to issue a total of
500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no Class A Ordinary
Shares issued or outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of
50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary
Shares issued and outstanding.
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 the Initial Public 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, 20 % of the sum of (i) the total
number of all Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A
Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor), 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 placement-equivalent warrants issued to the
Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s 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; provided that such
conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to
one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as
required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands
law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders
as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company is
generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special
resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes
cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general
meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving
a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors,
meaning, following the initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50 % of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of
directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B
Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing
the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents
or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside
the Cayman Islands). Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions
of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least
90 % (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes
cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general
meeting of the Company.

Warrants
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
there were 18,575,000 Warrants outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 7,075,000 Private Placement 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 as discussed
herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, 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 issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective
and a prospectus relating thereto is current. 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. In the event that
the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will
not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required
to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser
of a unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying
such unit.
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated
October 7, 2024, by and between the Company and Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement 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 Business
Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until
the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A
Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) 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 the Class A
Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition
of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders
of Public Warrants who exercise their Public 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, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration
statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants
on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the
Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A
Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received
by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.
Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the Public Warrants:
●
in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant;
F- 18
LAUNCH TWO ACQUISITION CORP.
Notes

December

● upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption; and
● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A
Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares
or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A
Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares.
A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares
at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to
the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other
equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the
quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these
purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining
the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well
as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of
Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten ( 10 ) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to
the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without
the right to receive such rights.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale
of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of
observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Level 1 assets include investments in money market
funds that invest solely in U.S. government securities. At December 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 858
in cash and $ 243,357,378 in a money market fund, which was invested primarily in Treasury Bills. For the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,”
establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services,
geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities
from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated
by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance.

The Company’s CODM has been identified as
the Chief Financial 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 that also is reported on the accompanying statements of operations as net income.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance
and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets,
which include the following:

and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements
to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment
are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. General and administrative expenses, as reported on
