Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based upon their
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective, Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements
included in this Annual Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the period presented.

Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Lipi n ski , 40, has served as our Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer since
August 2025. Mr. Lipinski is an entrepreneur and senior technologist with over 15 years of experience building
low-latency trading systems, blockchain infrastructure, and high-availability front-office platforms, and a successful track record
of leading engineering teams across Tier-1 banks, prop-trading, and web-scale blockchain. Mr. Lipinski began his career as a
software engineer at Samsung Electronics in 2007. In 2010, Mr. Lipinski joined BNP Paribas as a developer, where he
built pricing, risk, and trade-capture services for BNP Paribas’ commodities capabilities until 2012. In 2012,
Mr. Lipinski joined JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”) as a senior developer, engineering components for
equities and derivatives trading and risk. He was promoted to lead developer in 2013, in which role he directed delivery for
front-office platforms and improved execution workflows and stability for high-traffic trading applications. Mr. Lipinski left
JPMorgan for Citadel LLC (“Citadel”) in 2014, where he served as the head of equities application development until
2021. At Citadel, Mr. Lipinski led engineering for equities application stacks supporting electronic trading and risk, owned
delivery across latency-sensitive services, market connectivity, and front-office tooling, and partnered with trading and risk
departments to ship resilient, compliant systems at scale. From 2021 until 2023, Mr. Lipinski worked at Solana Foundation
(“Solana”) as a senior software engineer where he built web-scale blockchain systems and developer tooling, and
collaborated with core protocol and ecosystem teams on performance, reliability, and developer experience. Notably, he led
development of core non-fungible token (“NFT”) standards and co-launched Metaplex, now the dominant NFT protocol on
Solana. Since 2023, Mr. Lipinski has served as the chief executive officer and on the board of directors of Cube
Exchange, a hybrid financial-infrastructure platform he co-founded that bridges digital assets with traditional markets, where he
oversees product development, regulatory compliance, security, and institutional partnerships, as well as efforts to scale
multi-party computation custody, settlement, and exchange systems for global clients. He also serves on the board of directors of
B&J Studios, an integrated developer platform for blockchain-based solutions that he co-founded in 2022. Additionally, Mr.
Lipinski has served on the board of directors of each of Elmnts Group Inc., B+J Capital Group, LLC, Imperial Labs Pte. and Raindrops
Studios Inc. since 2024, 2022, 2025 and 2022, respectively. He previously served on the board of directors of Cupcake Studios Inc.
from 2022 until its dissolution in 2024. Mr. Lipinski earned his Master’s degree in Computer Science from the Military
University of Technology and his M.B.A. in Accounting and Finance from the University of Chicago. We believe Mr. Lipinski’s
significant engineering, product development and executive-level experience involving blockchain technologies, trading solutions and
digital assets makes him well-qualified to serve on our board of directors.
Alexander
Dymala-Dolesky , 32, has served as our Chief Strategy Officer since September 2025. From 2018 to 2021, Mr. Dymala-Dolesky
served as an Investment Advisor at Canaccord Genuity, focusing on portfolio construction and capital markets strategy. Subsequently,
he served as Managing Director at Capital Y Management from 2021 to 2023. In 2024, he founded Uranium Digital, a software company developing

Chartered Investment Manager designation. He has also completed the Series 7 and Series 66 securities examinations. Mr. Dymala-Dolesky
currently sits on the board and is a member of the compensation committee of Takara Ventures Ltd., and has held such seat since 2024.
64
Patrick
Daugherty , 69, has served on our board of directors since December 9, 2025. Mr. Daugherty has been a practicing corporate
lawyer for more than 40 years. From 1986 to 1989, as Counsel to SEC Commissioner Edward Fleischman, he helped craft SEC Rule 144A
and Regulation S, which are exemptions from the SEC’s registration requirements used today in institutional and off-shore
token market transactions. Since 2001, Mr. Daugherty has been a partner of law firm Foley & Lardner LLP (“Foley &
Lardner”), where he manages a corporate, M&A, finance, financial regulatory and fintech law practice. Mr. Daugherty founded
and leads his firm’s Blockchain and Digital Assets practice. As a lawyer, Mr. Daugherty has had considerable exposure to digital
asset, fintech and related sectors through his work for digital asset exchanges (including the Cube Exchange, among others) and broker-dealers,
as well as private crypto funds, family offices, proprietary trading firms, Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain developers and token sellers.
Mr. Daugherty currently sits on the Executive Committee of the Federalist Society’s Financial Services Practice Group and
conducts programming for the Federalist Society on the SEC and digital assets. He is a Life Member of the American Law Institute and
has authored or edited (alone or with others) several books and many essays on securities regulation and new financial products. He has
been an adjunct professor teaching seminars on digital assets for multiple years at Cornell Law School in Ithica, New York, more recently

Jr. Corporate & Securities Law Institute at Northwestern, and has helped plan an annual digital assets symposium at the University
of Chicago Law School since its inception in 2022. Mr. Daugherty earned a B.S. degree from Northwestern University in 1978 and a
J.D. from Cornell in 1981. We believe Mr. Daugherty’s considerable domain expertise in financial regulation, capital markets,
digital assets and corporate governance makes him well-qualified to serve on our board of directors.
Renata
Szkoda , 49, has served on our board of directors since December 9, 2025. Ms. Szkoda began her career in the Financial Services
Practice of RSM US LLP, where she worked from 2000 to 2006. From 2006 to 2012, she worked in the Accounting and Finance department of
Rosenthal Collins Group LLC, a privately held clearing futures commission merchant, broker-dealer, foreign exchange broker and U.S. Treasury
prime dealer. She served as the Chief Financial Officer for KCG Futures, a division of KCG Americas LLC, from 2012 to 2014, and Chief
Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for Blue Fire Capital (subsequently acquired by Galaxy Digital) from 2014 to 2020. From
2020 to 2022, Ms. Szkoda was the Director of Finance for Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), a digital assets investment firm. At Galaxy Digital,
Ms. Szkoda lead all financial aspects of the high frequency trading unit, specializing in providing liquidity in digital assets. Ms.
Szkoda served as Chief Financial Officer at The INX Digital Company (OTCMKTS: INXDF), a publicly listed financial services firm
for tokenized assets and the issuer of the SEC’s first registered security token, from 2022 to 2024. Since 2025, Ms. Szkoda has
served as the Chief Financial Officer at Scout Group LLC, a proprietary trading firm. Ms. Szkoda received her Bachelors of Science in
Accounting from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1999 and is a Certified Public Accountant. We believe Ms. Szkoda’s significant
experience in accounting and finance makes her well-qualified to serve on our board of directors.
Ryan
Shea , 24, has served on our board of directors since December 9, 2025. Early in his career, Mr. Shea gained experience
in the blockchain ecosystem through positions at Radar Relay, an acquired decentralized exchange built on Ethereum and Gitcoin, a granting
and bounty platform part of Consensus. Mr. Shea then joined the early team at Solana Labs, where he focused on business development,
product engineering, operations, and community development for the Solana protocol. During his tenure, Mr. Shea was instrumental
in scaling the Solana protocol and ecosystem from before its initial launch well into its subsequent expansion. Since 2022, Mr. Shea
has served as Head of Product at Render Network Foundation. The Render Network, the leading decentralized compute network, was created
in 2018 on Ethereum. Mr. Shea led Render’s upgrade process from Ethereum to the Solana network, and now is instrumental in
its further expansion into the artificial intelligence market. Since September 2025, Mr. Shea has served as the Chief Operating Officer
and a member of the board of directors of Idea Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company. Mr. Shea is also a graduate
of Yale University. We believe Mr. Shea’s comprehensive experience in blockchain technology, demonstrated leadership in scaling
technology platforms, and expertise in product development makes him well qualified to serve on our board of directors.
Tal
Broda , 52, has served on our board of directors since December 9, 2025. Mr. Broda is an engineering leader with over
20 years of experience building and operating hyper scale infrastructure and products. He began his career as a Senior Software
Engineer for NewChannel Inc. from 1998 to 2000. From 2018 to 2022, Mr. Broda served as the Head of Platform for Citadel Securities
(“Citadel”), during which time he built and led Citadel’s Securities Platform organization. Since 2023, Mr. Broda
has been the VP Compute and Research Platform for OpenAI where he was responsible for OpenAI’s compute across research and applied,
and founded and scaled the Research Platform organization to several hundred engineers, delivering every hardware and software system
required to train and serve OpenAI models. Earlier in his career, he held senior engineering leadership roles at Oracle Corp. (NYSE:
ORCL), SOASTA Inc. and Mesosphere Inc. Mr. Broda also co-authored 18 software engineering patents. Mr. Broda is a graduate
of The Academic College in Tel-Aviv, Israel in Computer Science (graduating in 2000) and received MBAs from the Haas School of Business
at UC Berkely and Columbia Business School, each in 2009. We believe Mr. Broda’s experience leading large scale engineering
organizations in the Artificial Intelligence and financial markets infrastructure industries makes him well-qualified to serve on our
board of directors.

Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors consists of five 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 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, consisting of Tal Broda,
will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Ryan Shea and Renata
Szkoda, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Patrick Dougherty
and Bartosz Lipinski, will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Our
officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms
of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association.
Director
Independence
The
rules of Nasdaq 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 Patrick Dougherty, Renata Szkoda, Ryan Shea and Tal Broda is an “independent
director” as defined in Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings
at which only independent directors are present.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Each of our audit committee and our
compensation committee is composed solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of
the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of
Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates
under a charter that was approved by our board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charter
of each committee will be available on our website, to the extent we maintain one.
Audit
Committee
The
members of our audit committee are Patrick Dougherty, Renata Szkoda and Ryan Shea. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC
rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Each of Patrick Dougherty,
Renata Szkoda and Ryan Shea meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the
Exchange Act. Renata Szkoda serves as chair of the audit committee.
Each
member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Renata Szkoda qualifies as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
66
We
have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● assisting
board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
(3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our
internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and
oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent registered public accounting firm
engaged by us;
● setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; obtaining and reviewing a report, at least
annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1) the independent registered public accounting firm’s
internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer
review, of the independent registered public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities,
within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with
such issues;
● meeting
to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent
registered public accounting firm, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ”; reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed
pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
● reviewing
with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or
compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports
that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards
or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation
Committee
The
members of our compensation committee are Patrick Dougherty and Tal Broda. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we
are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Each of Patrick Dougherty and
Tal Broda is independent. Tal Broda chairs the compensation committee.
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; and
● reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
67
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, other than the payment of up to $20,000 per month to our Sponsor during the Completion for office space, secretarial and
administrative services and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees,
will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services
they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation
of an initial Business Combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation
arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial Business Combination.
The
compensation committee charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice
of a compensation consultant, independent 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 intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required
to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e) 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 our 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 Ryan Shea and Tal Broda. In accordance
with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have
a nominating committee charter in place.
The
board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are
seeking proposed nominees to stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting).
Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for appointment to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in
our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
We
have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of
professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent
the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right
to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one
or more officers serving on our board of directors.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics, Insider Trading Policy and Committee Charters
We
have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics as an exhibit
to this Form 10-K. You are able to review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov .
In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics and the charters of the committees of our board of directors can be provided without charge
upon request from us. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments,
or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under
applicable SEC or Nasdaq rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website, to the extent we maintain one.
The information to be included on our website, to the extent we maintain one, will not be incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K
or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our website, to the extent we maintain one, are intended
to be inactive textual references only.
68
We have also adopted a policy regarding insider training and dissemination of inside information (the “Insider Trading Policy”) governing the purchase, sale, and other disposition of our securities by our directors, officers, and employees as well as by the Company that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19 to this Form 10-K.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman
Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification
of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public
policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted
by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful
neglect. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors
against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify
our officers and directors.
Our
officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account,
and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of,
any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification
provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an
initial Business Combination.
Our
indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their
fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and
directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors
pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We
believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced
officers and directors.
Item
11. Executive Compensation.
None
of our executive officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered. We pay our Sponsor up to $20,000 per
month for office space, secretarial and administrative services to members of our management team until the consummation of our initial
Business Combination. No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect
of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of theirs, for services rendered
prior to, or for any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial Business Combination (regardless of the
type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be entitled to certain payments including, but not limited to, reimbursement
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 or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be
made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have
any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination.
69
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 tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial Business
Combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or
members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial Business Combination,
because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation
to be paid to our 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.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial Business Combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial Business Combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial Business
Combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential Business Combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Item
13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Founder
Shares
On
July 28, 2025, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately
$0.003 per share. In September 2025, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 245,000 Founder Shares to our other initial shareholders,
including 30,000 Founder Shares to each of our independent directors. In November 2025, our Sponsor transferred 300,000 Founder Shares
to Alex Dymala-Dolesky, our Chief Strategy Officer, resulting in our Sponsor holding 8,080,000 Founder Shares and our initial shareholders
holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such
Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO.
Private
Placement Warrants
Our
Sponsor and the Underwriters purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000,
or $1.50 per warrant, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Of those 5,333,333 Private Placement
Warrants, our Sponsor purchased 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, Cantor purchased 1,400,000 Private Placement Warrants and Oden
purchased 600,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units
in the IPO except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor, the Underwriters or their respective permitted transferees, (i) may
not (including the underlying securities), 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) and are entitled to registration rights, and (iii) with respect
to Private Placement Warrants held by the Underwriters and/or their respective designees, are not exercisable more than five years from
the commencement of sales in the IPO in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement
Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account such that $345,000,000 is held in the Trust Account.
If we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
The Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are subject to the transfer restrictions described above. Otherwise, the
Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the units being sold in the IPO.
71
Administrative
Services and Indemnification Agreement
We
entered into an Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement with our Sponsor in connection with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms
of that agreement, we agreed to pay our Sponsor up to $20,000 per month during the Completion Window for office space, secretarial and
administrative services provided to us and members of our management team. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or our
liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
No
compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the Company to our Sponsor, executive officers
and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial
Business Combination without shareholder approval. However, these individuals will be 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 will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors
or our or their affiliates.
Promissory
Note
On
July 28, 2025 the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note
is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing of the IPO. As of December 31, 2025, there
are no amounts outstanding and no further borrowings are permitted under the Note.
Working
Capital Loans
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate
of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required on a non-interest
basis. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination
does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds
from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants
at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including
as to exercisability and exercise price. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no
written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to
seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan
such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. 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 loans. As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.
Any
of the foregoing payments to our Sponsor, repayments of loans from our Sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial
Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
After
our initial Business Combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees
from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy
materials or tender offer documents, 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 documents or at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider our initial
Business Combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-Business Combination entity to determine executive
and director compensation.
72
Registration
Rights Agreement
The
holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any
ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital
loans), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed in connection with the IPO. These holders
are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with
the filing of any such registration statements.

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 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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Meshflow Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Meshflow Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period July 22, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 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 the Company as of December 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash for the period July 22, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

MESHFLOW ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Meshflow Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 22, 2025 . The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. 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 activity for the period from July 22, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering, which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 9, 2025. On December 11, 2025, the Company consummated Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 4,500,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 345,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 3 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable Warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,333,333 Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), at a price of $ 1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to Meshflow Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the Underwriters, and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) (together with the Representative, the “Underwriters”), generation gross proceeds of $ 8,000,000 . Of those 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 3,333,333 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor and Odeon purchased an aggregate of 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 21,368,737 , consisting of $ 6,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $ 14,700,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 668,737 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on December 11, 2025, an amount of $ 345,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds are to be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations and/or held as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts); 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 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 team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the 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 sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (x) by such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve (y) such other time period in which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination pursuant to an amendment to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Completion Window”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. 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 Company’s public shareholders.
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 deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) 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 effect a Business Combination.
F- 7
The Company will provide the Company’s 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 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes paid or payable, excluding any 1 % U.S. federal excise tax on stock repurchases under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or similar tax, that is imposed on us, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations.
The ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Completion Window.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account; and (iv) 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) 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) $ 10.00 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 $ 10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust 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 of the Initial Public Offering 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 that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 1,160,495 cash and had a working capital of $ 1,143,348 .
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into Private Placement Warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.50 per Warrant. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 204-50, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination.
Emerging Growth Company
As an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), the Company 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 non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, 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 from those estimates.
F- 9
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 cash of $ 1,160,495 and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $ 345,700,744 , mainly consisted of money market funds.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholder’s deficit as Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its 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 financial statement 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.
FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, there 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.
Warrants
The Company accounted for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement to the Sponsor and the Underwriter in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the Warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.
F- 10
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
Gross proceeds $ 345,000,000
Less:
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants ( 4,508,000 )
Class A ordinary shares issuance costs ( 21,074,561 )
Plus:
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value 26,283,305
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 $ 345,700,744
Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Net income is shared pro rata between the two classes of ordinary shares. This presentation assumes a Business Combination as the most likely outcome. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) the exercise of the over-allotment option and (iii) Private Placement, since the average price of the ordinary shares for the period from July 22, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, was less than the exercise price and therefore, the inclusion of such Warrants under the treasury stock method would be anti-dilutive and the exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):
For the Period from
July 22, 2025
(Inception) Through
December 31, 2025
Basic net income per ordinary share Redeemable Class A Non-Redeemable Class B
Basic net income per ordinary share
Numerator:
Allocation of net income $ 197,136 $ 353,838
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 4,259,259 7,644,939
Basic net income per ordinary share $ 0.05 $ 0.05
For the Period from
July 22, 2025
(Inception) Through
December 31, 2025
Diluted net income per ordinary share Class A Class B
Diluted net income per ordinary share

Denominator:
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 4,259,259 8,134,969
Diluted net income per ordinary share $ 0.04 $ 0.04
F- 11
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments are valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 11, 2025, the Company sold 34,500,000 Units, which includes the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option in full in the amount of 4,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 345,000,000 . Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 11, 2025, the Sponsor and the Underwriters purchased in a private placement an aggregate of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $ 1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $ 8,000,000 . Of those 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 3,333,333 Private Placement Warrants and the Underwriters purchased an aggregate of 2,000,000 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.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On July 28, 2025, the Sponsor was issued 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $ 25,000 paid to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the Underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part. On December 11, 2025, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full. As a result, the 1,125,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
On September 8, 2025, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 245,000 Founder Shares to the independent directors and other initial shareholders of the Company in exchange for their services through the Company’s initial Business Combination. On November 14, 2025, the Sponsor transferred 300,000 Founder Shares to its Chief Strategy Officer in exchange for his services through the Company’s initial Business Combination. These transfers of the Founder Shares to the directors fall within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Under FASB ASC Topic 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the assignment date. The total fair value of the 545,000 Founder Shares on September 8, 2025 and November 14, 2025 was $ 1,022,965 or $ 1.88 per share. The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on September 8, 2025 and November 14, 2025, the dates of the grant agreements, using a calculation prepared by a third-party valuation team which takes into consideration a risk-free rate of 4.17 % and 3.96 %, respectively, implied market adjustment of 19.1 %, and implied share price of $ 9.92 . The Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors. The Founder Shares are subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination).
F- 12
Share-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the total number of Founder Shares assigned to the Company’s directors and officers times the fair value per share at grant date (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the assignment of the Founder Shares. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
The Company’s initial shareholders 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 the Company’s initial shareholders 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 which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.
Promissory Note — Related Party
The Sponsor had 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 “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On December 12, 2025, the Company repaid $ 219,450 for the total outstanding balance of the Promissory Note and borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available. The payment included an over payment of $ 25,000 which the Sponsor returned on December 17, 2025.
Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, dated December 9, 2025, wherein the Sponsor agreed to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space and administrative services, as the Company may require from time to time. The Company agreed to pay the Sponsor up to $ 20,000 per month for these services, with monthly payments commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and continuing until the earlier of (i) the consummation by the Company of an initial Business Combination or (ii) the Company’s liquidation.
The Company agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor and its directors, officers, employees, principals, managers, partners, members, shareholders, equity holders, control persons, affiliates, agents, advisors, consultants and representatives (the “Indemnitees”) from any claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, causes of action, proceedings (whether pending or threatened), investigations, damages, awards, settlements, judgments, decrees, fees, costs, penalties, amounts paid in settlement or expenses (including interest, assessments and other charges in connection therewith and reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professional advisors and costs of suit) arising out of or relating to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation against any of them or in which any of them may be a participant or may otherwise be involved (including as a witness) that arises out of or relates to (i) the Initial Public Offering of the Company’s securities or the Company’s operations or conduct of its business (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Business Combination), or (ii) any claim against the Sponsor alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the Sponsor of any activities of the Company or any express or implied association between the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its affiliates, on the other hand.
For the period from December 9, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 14,839 administrative services fee and recorded it as Due to Sponsor on the accompanying balance sheet.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, including the repayment of loans from the Sponsor to pay for any amount deposited to pay for any extension of the time to complete the initial Business Combination, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post business combination entity, at a price of $ 1.50 per Warrant at the option of the lender. Such Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
F- 13
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and 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 signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. 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. In addition, Cantor may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement

Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.0 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ over-allotment option and 6.0 % of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, $ 14,700,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of 0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were no shares of Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding the 34,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of 0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 8,625,000 shares of 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 ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying 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.
F- 14
Holders of record of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B 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 memorandum and articles of association or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company 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 Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association 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 Company’s 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 will (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (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 the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association 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, there were 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants are currently outstanding. 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 underlying 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 Warrants 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, 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 registration statement for the Initial Public Offering 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 Company’s initial 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 (60 th ) 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 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.
F- 15
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the Warrant exercise price by surrendering the 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 underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the 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 Warrants, as applicable.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 :
The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ 30 -day redemption period”); and
● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of 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 Company’s initial 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 on 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.
The table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Level December 31,
2025
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account 1 $ 345,700,744

The fair value of the Public Warrants is $ 4,508,000 , or $ 0.39 per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:
December 11,
2025
Implied Class A share price $ 9.87
Exercise price $ 11.50
Simulation term (years) 7.0
Risk-free rate (continuous) 3.84 %
Selected volatility 5.0 %
Implied Market Adjustment 32.6 %
NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer , who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
December 31,
2025
Cash $ 1,160,495
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account $ 345,700,744
For the
Period from
July 22,
2025
(Inception)
through
December 31,
2025
General and administrative costs $ 149,770
Income earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account $ 700,744
General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Completion Window. 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. General and administrative costs, as reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
The CODM reviews income on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through March 17, 2026, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
