Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. 32 Overview We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 10, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Muzero Acquisition Sponsors LLC. Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on target businesses that (i) are technology-enabled across any industry, (ii) are in industries that complement our Management Team’s background and (iii) capitalize on the ability of our Management Team to identify and acquire a business. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful. Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on January 29, 2026. On February 2, 2026, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000 Public Units, including 2,625,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $201,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 486,875 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $4,868,750. Of those 486,875 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 335,938 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 150,937 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $201,250,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. We have until February 2, 2028 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team. 33 Recent Developments On January 23, 2026, the Sponsor assigned membership units of the Sponsor in an aggregate of 280,000 Founder Shares to our independent directors, officers and Advisors. On January 29, 2026 we entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support commencing on January 30, 2026. The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on January 29, 2026. On February 2, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering, which consisted of 20,125,000 Public Units, including the exercise in full by the Underwriters of an option to purchase up to 2,625,000 Option Units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $201,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 486,875 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $4,868,750. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on February 2, 2026, an amount of $201,250,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units, was held in a Trust Account. On February 2, 2026, the Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $3,521,875 and the Underwriters paid the Company an aggregate amount of $503,125 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering as reimbursement to us for certain of our expenses and fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of $7,043,750, payable to the representative on behalf of the Underwriters only upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On February 2, 2026, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we repaid the full $230,000 borrowed under the IPO Promissory Note. Borrowing under the IPO Promissory Note is no longer available. On February 3, 2026, we repaid $1,129 of the advances from a related party. The aggregate amount outstanding as of March 27, 2026 is $45 and is due on demand. Results of Operations We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since October 10, 2025 (inception) were (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to the Initial Public Offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses. For the period from October 10, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $49,541, which consisted of general and administrative costs. Liquidity and Capital Resources Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $201,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $10,649,942 in the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $3,018,750 of cash underwriting fee (net of the Underwriters’ reimbursement of $503,125), the Deferred Fee of $7,043,750 and $587,442 of other offering costs. For the period from October 10, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $39,881. Net loss of $49,541 was affected by payment of expense through the IPO Promissory Note of $12,819 and payment of expense through advances from a related party of $641, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reduced cash from operating activities by $3,800. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes (excluding Excise Tax), if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. 34 To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our 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. As of December 31, 2025 and on February 2, 2026 following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $69 and $1,349,169, respectively. Since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. IPO Promissory Note Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2026 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $230,000 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on February 2, 2026. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note. Working Capital Loans In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. Because our Sponsor and Management are not contractually obligated to provide Working Capital Loans, we cannot assure you that such funds will be available to us if our current funds held outside the Trust Account are depleted. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our 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, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows: Administrative Services Agreement Commencing on January 30, 2026, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we plan to reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had incurred and paid $0 in fees for these services. 35 Advances from Related Party As of December 31, 2025, we owed $641 to a related party for expenses that they paid on our behalf. The amount is due on demand. As of February 2, 2026, we owed an additional $533 to a related party for expenses that they have paid on our behalf, of which $1,129 was repaid subsequently on February 3, 2026. The aggregate amount outstanding as of March 27, 2026 is $45 and is due on demand. Underwriting Agreement We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 2, 2026, the Underwriters fully exercised their Over-Allotment Option. The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.175 per Public Unit, or $3,521,875 upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The Underwriters paid us an aggregate amount of $503,125 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering as reimbursement to the us for certain of our expenses and fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of $0.35 per Public Unit, or $7,043,750, in the aggregate following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement in two portions, as follows: (i) $0.20 per Public Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering shall be paid to the Underwriters in cash, (ii) up to $0.15 per Public Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering shall be paid to the Underwriters in cash, based on the funds remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination. Registration Rights Agreement The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, BTIG may participate in a “piggyback” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Letter Agreement Our Sponsor, directors, officers and Advisors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers and Advisors will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. 36 Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers and Advisors have agreed that: (i) the Founder shares shall be subject to a transfer restrictions of t he earlier of (A) six months after the completion of our initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after our initial Business Combination and (B) the date following the completion of our initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property; (ii) the Private Placement Units (included their underlying securities) shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination; and (iii) Any Units, Warrants, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares or Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days. Critical Accounting Estimates and Standards The preparation of the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed. Recent Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2023-07, “Segment reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on October 10, 2025, the date of our inception. Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Reference is made to pages F-1 through F-18 comprising a portion of this Report, which are incorporated herein by reference. Item 9.
