Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), or person 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 Certifying Officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the lack of controls needed to assure that the accounting for accounts payable and accrued expenses is accurate and complete.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our man age
ment is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
46
Table of Contents
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the lack of controls needed to assure that the accounting for accounts payable and accrued expenses is accurate and complete.
This Annual Report on Form10-K
does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
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.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
We currently have four directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Alexander Matina, will expire at our first annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of John Lovett, will expire at the second annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Tim Rotolo and James Grigor, will expire at the third annual meeting of shareholders. We may not hold an annual meeting of shareholders until after we consummate our initial business combination.
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 persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chairmen of the Board, one or more Chief Executive Officers, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary, and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
Special Advisors
We currently expect the following individuals to (i) assist us in sourcing, negotiating and consummating a potential business combination, (ii) provide their business insights when we assess potential business combination targets and (iii) upon our request, provide their business insights as we work to create additional value in the businesses that we acquire. However, we have no written advisory agreements with either of these individuals. Additionally, they have no other employment or compensation arrangements with us. They will not serve on the board or any committee thereof, nor will they have any voting or decision making capacity on our behalf. They will also not be required to devote any specific amount of time to our efforts or be subject to the fiduciary requirements to which our board members are subject. Accordingly, if either becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for us, he is under no obligation to introduce it to us before any other prospective acquiror.
Jonathan Rotolo serves as our special advisor. Jonathan Rotolo is a Founder of Great Mountain Partners, a private markets investor providing its partners long-term capital solutions throughout the capital structure. Prior to this, he was the head of the Private Equity and Real Asset group at Barings, an institutional asset manager, and chaired the group’s Investment Committee.

Wood Creek was acquired by MassMutual in 2014 and merged into Barings in 2016. Mr. Rotolo serves on the Board of Managers of the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research and is an officer of LSJ Charitable Corporation. Mr. Rotolo is a graduate of Hamilton College, Boston University’s Questrom School of Business and Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. He is also a CFA Charterholder.

William holds a B.S. in International Finance and Monetary Economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, with a concentration in Asian Studies and Japanese language.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, 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.

Table of Contents
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. John Lovett, James Grigor and Alexander Matina serve as members of our audit committee, with John Lovett serving as the chairman of the audit committee. Under the 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. However, a minority of the members of the audit committee may be exempt from the heightened audit committee independence standards for one year from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Annual Report forms a part. John Lovett, James Grigor and Alexander Matina meet the independent director standard under NASDAQ listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
Each member of the audit committee is financially literate, and our board of directors has determined that John Lovett qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
•
the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
•
pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
•
reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
•
setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
•
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 auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit 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;
•
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 auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. John Lovett, James Grigor and Alexander Matina serve as members of our compensation committee, with John Lovett serving as the chairman of the compensation committee. Under the 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, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Each such person meets the independent director standard under NASDAQ listing standards applicable to members of 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 approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;
•
reviewing on an annual basis 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 officers and employees;
•
if required, 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.

Table of Contents
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than 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 complete the consummation of a business combination although we may consider cash or other compensation to officers or advisors we may hire subsequent to the Initial Public Offering to be paid either prior to or in connection with our 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 charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NASDAQ and the SEC.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the NASDAQ Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. 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 election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics and our audit and compensation committee charters as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Annual Report is a part. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov . In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Conflicts of Interest
Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, or contractual obligations to other entities, including without limitation, Range II, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present business combination opportunities to such entity. Accordingly, in the future, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations (including without limitation, Range II), he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. We do not believe, however, that any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers arising in the future would materially undermine our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
•
Members of our management team directly or indirectly own 3,833,333 founder shares and, accordingly may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
51
Table of Contents
•
The approximately $0.007 per share price that the members of management team paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if the Company selects an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors.
•
In the event we do not consummate a business combination within the completion window, the founder shares, the rights, the private units, and their underlying securities will expire worthless, which could create an incentive for our officers and directors to complete any transaction, regardless of its ultimate value.
•
None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
•
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Specifically, Mr. Rotolo, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd Harbor Capital Management, an investment advisor, and Mr. Kucharchuk, our Chief Financial Officer, is a consultant to us and other companies through Kujo Capital, LLC.
•
Our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and private shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of only our public shares, and the private units and underlying securities will not be redeemed. The founder shares will not, subject to certain exceptions, be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. Since members of our management may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares and rights following the Initial Public Offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to complete our initial business combination.
•
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
•
Our initial shareholders may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into working capital units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such working capital units would be identical to the private units sold in the private placement.
•
We will reimburse our Sponsor or an affiliate thereof in an amount equal to $10,000 per month for office space and administrative support made available to us, as described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, members of our management team will be entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As a result, there may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between members of our management team, our Sponsor and its affiliates on one hand, and purchasers in the Initial Public Offering on the other.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:
•
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
•
the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and
•
it would not be fair to our company and its shareholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
52
Table of Contents
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our initial shareholders or any affiliate of them, subject to certain approvals and consents. We have agreed with EBC to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
In the event that we submit our initial business combination to our shareholders for a vote, our initial shareholders have agreed to vote any founder shares and private shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides 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 entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors have agreed 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 (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of public shares). 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.
We believe that these provisions, the insurance, and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that for the year ended December 31, 2025 there were no delinquent filers.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
None of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Additionally, no compensation was awarded to, earned by, or paid to our executive officers or directors. Other than as described elsewhere in this Annual Report, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to our initial shareholders or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. In addition, our officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates 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 initial shareholders or their affiliates.
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 business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining 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.
53
Table of Contents
Following a business combination, to the extent we deem it necessary, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management team of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Clawback Policy
On March 28, 2025, our board of directors adopted a clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) permitting the Company to seek the recovery of incentive compensation received by any of the Company’s current and former executive officers (as determined by the board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules) and such other senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the board (collectively, the “Covered Executives”). The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the board. If the board cannot determine the amount of excess incentive compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement. Refer to Exhibit 97.1 of this Annual Report for the Company’s Clawback Policy.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On August 27, 2024, the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On November 14, 2024, our Sponsor surrendered 479,167 founder shares for no consideration, resulting in our Sponsor holding 3,833,333 founder shares. On November 14, 2024, our Sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of our independent directors and Jonathan Rotolo and Bill Callanan, our special advisors, for approximately the same nominal per share purchase price paid by our Sponsor, subject to each independent director and special advisor’s agreement to return the shares to the Sponsor if he or she ceases to continue to serve in such capacity prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Prior to the initial investment in our company of $25,000 by our Sponsor, we had no assets, tangible or intangible.
On August 27, 2024, we issued to EBC 400,000 EBC founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2,319 (or approximately $0.006 per share). On November 14, 2024, EBC surrendered 133,333 EBC founder shares for no consideration, resulting in EBC holding 266,667 EBC founder shares.
Our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 328,125 private units for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the over-allotment. In addition, EBC has and its designees purchased an aggregate of 109,375 private units for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the over-allotment. The private units sold in the private placement (including the ordinary shares, private rights, and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of private rights included in such private units) and the working capital units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (including the ordinary shares, private rights, and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of private rights included in such private units) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.
On June 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Kujo Capital, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, pursuant to which Kujo Capital, LLC agrees to make available the services of Mr. Andrew Kucharchuk as Chief Financial Officer of the Company on a consultancy basis. Effective as of August 11, 2025, Mr. Tim Rotolo resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the board of directors of the Company appointed Mr. Andrew Kucharchuk to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Tim Rotolo’s resignation.

Except as set forth herein, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to our initial shareholders, existing officers, directors and advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. 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 initial shareholders or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
On December 10, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor, a significant shareholder of the Company, which was permitted to be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (defined below) upon request by the Company. The Note amended, replaced and superseded in its entirety that certain promissory note, dated August 23, 2024, made by the Company in favor of the Sponsor in the principal amount of up to $150,000 (the “Original Note”), and any unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Original Note was merged into and evidenced by the Note. The Note did not bear interest and the principal balance was payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (such date, the “Maturity Date”).
Sponsor has agreed that, until the earlier of our consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, it (or an affiliate thereof) will make available to us certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support, as we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay $10,000 per month for these services. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services, that these fees are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person.
We will also pay customary transfer agent, rights agent and trustee fees to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the president of which is a member of our Sponsor.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest bearing basis as may be required. 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 working capital units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such working capital units would be identical to the private units sold in the private placement. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates 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, but if we do, we will request such lender to provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our 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 shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the general meeting held to consider an initial business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.
We have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the founder shares, EBC founder shares, private units, working capital units (if any) and their underlying securities, which is described in “Description of Securities,” as filed as Exhibit 4.5 of this Annual Report.
Related Party Policy
We have not yet adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
Prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company.
In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we adopted prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting,
56
Table of Contents
the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit committee charter that we will adopt prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Annual Report is a part. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate any initial business combination, including one with an entity that is affiliated with any of our initial shareholders, unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be made to our initial shareholders, existing officers, directors or advisors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, the following payments will be made to our initial shareholders or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
•
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination.
•
Repayment of non-interest bearing loans which may be made by our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates to finance transaction or other costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, or working capital units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The working capital units would be identical to the private units sold in the private placement. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto.
•
Payment to Sponsor or an affiliate thereof of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services.
•
Payment of customary transfer agent, rights agent and trustee fees to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the president of which is a member of our Sponsor.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our initial shareholders or their affiliates.
Director Independence
NASDAQ listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that James Grigor, Alexander Matina, and John Lovett are “independent directors” as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. As permitted by NASDAQ, we intend to phase in compliance with the NASDAQ director independence requirements within the schedule outlined in the NASDAQ rules, which require that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent within one year of listing. The NASDAQ rules also require at least one member of each board committee to be independent at the time of listing, a majority of board committee members to be independent within 90 days of listing, and all board committee members to be independent within one year of listing.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2025, we were notified by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) that Marcum resigned as the independent registered accounting firm of the Company. On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) acquired the attest business of Marcum. On April 2, 2025, following Marcum’s resignation and with the approval of our Board of Directors, CBIZ was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The following is a summary of fees paid to CBIZ and Marcum for services rendered.
Audit Fees . Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. For the year ended December 31, 2025, fees billed by CBIZ totaled $122,025 for services related to the review of the Company’s interim financial information included in Forms 10-Q and the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the period from July 24, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, fees billed by Marcum totaled $135,415 for services related to the review of the Company’s interim financial information included in Forms 10-Q and the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Audit-Related Fees . Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees”. These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from July 24, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024,we did not pay any audit-related fees.

Pre-Approval Policy
Our audit committee was formed in connection with the effectiveness of our registration statement for our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all audit 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 the completion of the audit).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Range Capital Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Range Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audit, 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 flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation that was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses on or before June 23, 2026. The Company lacks the capital resources that are needed to fund its operations for a reasonable period of time, which is generally considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
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 Company’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 provides a reasonable basis for our 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 Company’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
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

RANGE CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM JULY 24, 2024 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2024
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Range Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company intends to pursue a Business Combination with a target in any industry or geographic region that can benefit from the expertise and capabilities of the Company’s management team.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 24, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial 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.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 19, 2024. On December 23, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 100,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Range Capital Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., (“EBC”) the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,000,000 .
On December 31, 2024, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full and purchased 1,500,000 additional units (the “Option Units”) at $ 10.00 per Unit on January 3, 2025, generating gross proceeds of $ 15,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 37,500 Private Placement Units (each, an “Option Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and EBC at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 375,000 .
Upon the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $ 4,203,522 , consisting of $ 2,156,250 of cash underwriting fee (net of $ 143,750 underwriters’ reimbursement) and $ 2,047,272 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Pursuant to applicable stock exchange listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account, if any). The Company intends to only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business 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.
Following the closings of the Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2024 and the over-allotment on January 3, 2025, an aggregate amount of $ 115,575,000 ($ 10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and Option Units, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units and Option Private Placement Units, was placed in the trust account (“Trust Account”) and held in demand deposit or cash accounts or invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions underRule2a-7ofthe Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company in its sole discretion subject to requirements of corporate law. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.05 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The Public 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 the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
F- 8
Table of Contents
If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and, subject to applicable securities laws, any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor and EBC have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, EBC founder shares (defined below), ordinary shares included in the Private Placement Units (“Private Shares”) and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, EBC founder shares, Private Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (1) modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide for the redemption of the Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, June 23, 2026, or (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial
Business Combination activity, and (c) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares, EBC founder shares and Private Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. If the Company submits the initial Business Combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote any Founder Shares, Private Shares and, subject to applicable securities laws, any Public Shares purchased by them in or after this Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of an initial Business Combination.
The Company has until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, June 23, 2026, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Combination Period is not extended by shareholders pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the Public Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less $ 100,000 to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it would receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its affiliates acquires Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $ 10.05 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.05 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes, if any.
This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims by the Company’s auditors or 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”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
On January 13, 2025, the Company’s Public Units began separately trading from the ordinary shares and rights included in such Units. Those Public Units that are not separated trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “RANGU” and the ordinary shares and rights that are separated are trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “RANG” and “RANGR,” respectively.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Segment Reporting
The Company complies with ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07),
which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public 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 statement 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 financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
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 $ 313,322 and $ 881,853 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Investments Held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.
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. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.
F- 10
Table of Contents
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. 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 may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial
assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued
at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current
based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriters’ over- allotment option was deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and was accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 since the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option at the closing of Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the over-allotment was outstanding and on January 3, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over- allotment option.

Share Rights
The Company accounts for the Public Rights (as defined in Note 3) and Private Rights (as defined in Note 4) issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2024 and with the underwriter’s exercise of the over-allotment option on January 3, 2025, and the related private placements in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the rights under equity treatment at its assigned value.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 500,000 ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised. On January 3, 2025, the Company’s underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option resulting to no shares subject to forfeiture. At December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each class of ordinary shares:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99,
the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption 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 equity. Accordingly, as December 31, 2025 and 2024, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09),
which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09
on January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. The Company evaluated requirements for the new standard and determined that the adoption of ASU 2023-09
did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 313,322 in cash and working capital of $ 210,695 .
The Company has until June 23, 2026, to consummate the initial Business Combination (assuming no extensions). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014—15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that the funds which the Company has available following the completion of the Initial Public Offering may not be sufficient to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued as it expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. Management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 23, 2026.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2024, the Company sold 10,000,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right (“Public Right”), with each Public Right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth
of one ordinary share upon completion of an initial Business Combination. On December 31, 2024, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full and purchased 1,500,000 Units at $ 10.00 per unit upon the closing of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $ 15,000,000 . The over-allotment option closed on January 3, 2025.
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and EBC and/or their designees purchased an aggregate of 400,000 Private Placement Units ( 300,000 Private Placement Units to be purchased by the Sponsor and 100,000 Private Placement Units to be purchased by EBC and its designees) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Units from the Company in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 37,500 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and EBC at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 375,000 . Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, and one right (“Private Right”), with each Private Right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth
of one ordinary share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Private Placement Units and underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares
On August 27, 2024, the Company issued 4,312,500 ordinary shares (“Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.006 per share. The Company received payment for the Founder Shares in September 2024. On November 14, 2024, the Sponsor surrendered 479,167 Founder Shares for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor holding 3,833,333 Founder Shares. Up to 500,000 of such Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full. On January 3, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option resulting in no shares subject to forfeiture related to the over-allotment option.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Founder Shares were placed into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as escrow agent. Pursuant to such escrow arrangement, the Founder Shares may not, subject to limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Table of Contents
On November 14, 2024, the Sponsor transferred 125,000 Founder Shares to director nominees and special advisors to the Company. The sale of the Founders Shares to the Company’s director’s nominees and special advisors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 125,000 shares granted to the Company’s director’s nominees and special advisors was $ 477,500 or $ 3.82 per share. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-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 number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.
On August 27, 2024, the Company issued to EBC 400,000 ordinary shares (“EBC founder shares”) for a purchase price of approximately $ 0.006 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,319 . The Company received payment for the EBC founder shares in September 2024. On November 14, 2024, EBC surrendered 133,333 EBC founder shares for no consideration, resulting in EBC holding 266,667 EBC founder shares. The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC founder shares to be $ 1,538,400 , or $ 3.846 per share. Accordingly, $ 1,536,081 (the total $ 1,538,400 fair value less $ 2,319 paid by EBC) was recorded as a deferred offering costs with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in
capital. The Company established the initial fair value for the EBC founder shares on August 27, 2024, the date of the issuance, using a calculation prepared by a third-party valuation firm which takes into consideration a discount for lack of marketability calculation of 1.6 %, volatility of 5.3 %, a risk-free rate of 3.99 % and restricted term in years of 1.69 . The EBC founder shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs including the probability of a Business Combination (assumed to be 44 %, based on market data from 2021 through 2023 of similar entities who have settled versus completed a Business Combination), the probability, at the time of determination, of the Initial Public Offering (assumed to be 90 %, based on management assumptions and an overview of market data), and other risk factors. EBC has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months, June 23, 2026, from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
On November 14, 2024, the Sponsor surrendered 479,167 Founder Shares for no consideration and EBC surrendered 133,333 EBC founder shares for no consideration. All share and per share information has been retrospectively presented.
The EBC founder shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up
for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the Initial Public Offering. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners, provided that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lockup restriction above for the remainder of the time period.
Promissory Note — Related Party
Prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loan was non-interest
bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2024 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The loan was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering out of the $ 750,000 of offering proceeds that were allocated to the payment of offering expenses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had borrowed $ 0 under the promissory note and no other borrowings are permitted under this loan agreement.
Administration Fee
Commencing on December 19, 2024 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a total of $ 10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Company will cease payments upon the completion of a Business Combination or a liquidation event. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $ 122,667 and $ 1,667 , respectively, of administrative services fees which were included in operating expenses on the statements of operations. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 0 and $ 1,667 was outstanding and reported as accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit at the option of the lender. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, EBC founder shares, Private Placement Units and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up
restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day
option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The over-allotment option was exercised in full by the underwriters on December 31, 2024, and the over-allotment option closed on January 3, 2025. Simultaneously with the closing of the over- allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 37,500 Units to the Sponsor and EBC at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 375,000 .
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Unit, or $ 2,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on December 23, 2024. The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Option Unit, or $ 300,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the over-allotment option, on January 3, 2025.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
Pursuant to a business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, provided that 1.0 % (of the 3.5 %) shall be paid to EBC in proportion to the amount of capital retained in the Trust Account following the initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company will pay EBC a cash fee in an amount equal to 1.0 % of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom the Company completes the Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 60 days from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East (including Iran) and other regions. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the military conflicts in the Middle East (including Iran) and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its financial statements and related disclosures. Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect the provisions of the OBBBA to have a material impact on its financial statements or related disclosures.
Any of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preference Shares
— The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary Shares
— The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 4,537,500 and 4,500,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively, excluding 11,500,000 and 10,000,000 shares subject to redemption. At December 31, 2024, shares outstanding includes (i) 3,833,333 Founder Shares, of which an aggregate of up to 500,000 ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part so that the number of Founder Shares will equal 25 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding Private Placement Shares), (ii) 266,667 EBC Founder Shares, and (iii) 400,000 Private Placement Shares issued at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. At December 31, 2025, shares outstanding includes (i) 3,833,333 Founder Shares, (ii) 266,667 EBC Founder Shares, and (iii) 400,000 Private Placement Shares issued at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and 37,500 Private Placement Shares issued at the closing of the over-allotment option on January 3, 2025. Upon the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, no shares were subject to forfeiture related to the over-allotment option.
Rights
— Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth
(1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman law. In the event the Company is not the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth
(1/10) of one ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company will redeem the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.
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.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, investments held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.
The over-allotment option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC815-40
and was presented within liabilities on the balance sheet. The over-allotment option liability is measured at fair value at December 23, 2024 and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of over-allotment option liability in the statement of operations. Upon exercise of the over-allotment option on January 3, 2025, the fair value of the over-allotment option was de-recognized
in the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.
The Company used a Black-Scholes model to value the over-allotment option upon. The over-allotment option liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary share based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the option. The expected life of the option is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
On January 3, 2025, the underwriters closed on the over-allotment option. As such, the over-allotment option ceased to exist thereafter.
The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model were as follows at December 31, 2024:

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise 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.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial 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, which are held in a Trust Account.
The Company will generate non-operating
income or expense from the changes in the fair value of its over-allotment option, which is not considered a measure of financial performance used by the CODM.
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 operating segment. The CODM does not review assets, which primarily consists of investments held in the Trust Account, in evaluating the results of the Company, and therefore, such information is not presented.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are operating costs and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account. The CODM reviews interest earned on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholders value and determine the most effective strategy of investments with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than disclosed in the Notes.
