The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) consummated on May 1, 2025 and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest or dividends income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-285386), was declared effective on April 30, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On May 1, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $ 10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 3,600,000 units (the “Option Units”), generating gross proceeds of $ 300,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), as discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,280,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to (i) the Company’s sponsor, Republic Sponsor 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”), and (ii) Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $ 7,280,000 (the “Private Placement”), as discussed in Note 4. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of those 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,640,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,640,000 Private Placement Warrants. Transaction costs amounted to $ 18,629,500 , consisting of $ 5,280,000 of cash underwriting fees, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6 ) of $ 12,720,000 , and $ 629,500 of other offering costs. The Company’s executive officers and directors (“Management” or “Management Team”) have broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee and taxes payable, if any, on the income earned from the Trust Account (as defined below). The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of the Deferred Fee held and taxes payable, if any, on the income earned from the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. 5 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on May 1, 2025, an amount of $ 300,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee and are initially invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination.. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on the Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by May 1, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s holders of Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”). The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. As of September 30, 2025, the amount in the Trust Account was $ 10.17 per Public Share. The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company has the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including earnings from the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor, officers, and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated April 30, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (x) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (y) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination. 6 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. On June 23, 2025, the Public Shares and the Public Warrants began separately trading on the Global Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on May 1, 2025, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any future periods. Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern The Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2025 were satisfied through the loan from the Sponsor of up to $ 300,000 pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $ 1,080,619 of cash and a working capital surplus of $ 1,118,848 . The Company uses the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate, and complete a Business Combination. On May 1, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,600,000 Option Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 300,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in the Private Placement to the Sponsor and Cantor, generating gross proceeds of $ 7,280,000 . Of those 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,640,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,640,000 Private Placement Warrants. 7 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital loans (the “Working Capital Lons”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that as of September 30, 2025, the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 $ 1,080,619 in cash or cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025. 8 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Investments Held in Trust Account At September 30, 2025, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in mutual funds that are invested in money market funds. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the Company’s balance sheet 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 earning from investments held in Trust Account in the Company’s statements of operations. 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 September 30, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit as the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, after Management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 9 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed 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 Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. Warrant Instruments The Company accounted for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table: Shares Amount Gross proceeds 30,000,00000 $ 300,000,000 Less: Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants ( 2,700,000 ) Class A Ordinary Shares issuance costs ( 18,447,055 ) Plus: Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value 21,147,055 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, May 1, 2025 30,000,000 $ 300,000,000 Plus: Accretion of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption amount 1,955,805 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, June 30, 2025 30,000,000 $ 301,955,805 Plus: Accretion of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption amount 3,154,678 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, September 30, 2025 30,000,000 $ 305,110,483 10 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Net Income Per Ordinary Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of Ordinary Shares. Net income per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculation of diluted net income per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and (iii) Private Placement, since the average price of the Ordinary Shares for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, was less than the exercise price and therefore, the inclusion of such Warrants under the Treasury stock method would be anti-dilutive and the exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Warrants are exercisable to purchase 7,280,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in the aggregate. As a result, diluted net income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net (loss) income per Ordinary Share for the periods presented. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share for each class of Ordinary Shares: For the Three Months Ended For the Period from January 23, 2025 (Inception) Through September 30, 2025 September 30, 2025 Class A Class B Class A Class B Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Basic net income per Ordinary Share Numerator: Allocation of net income $ 2,474,955 $ 618,739 $ 3,501,651 $ 1,377,162 Denominator: Basic weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding 30,000,000 7,500,000 18,167,331 7,145,020 Basic net income per Ordinary Share $ 0.08 $ 0.08 $ 0.19 $ 0.19 For the Three Months Ended For the Period from January 23, 2025 (Inception) Through September 30, 2025 September 30, 2025 Class A Class B Class A Class B Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares Diluted net income per Ordinary Share Numerator: Allocation of net income $ 2,474,955 $ 618,739 $ 3,453,223 $ 1,425,590 Denominator: Diluted weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding 30,000,000 7,500,000 18,167,331 7,500,000 Diluted net income per Ordinary Share $ 0.08 $ 0.08 $ 0.19 $ 0.19 11 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Recent Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. Note 3 — Initial Public Offering Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on May 1, 2025, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,600,000 Option Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Note 4 — Private Placement Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $ 7,280,000 in the aggregate, in the Private Placement. Of those 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,640,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,640,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) are entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to Private Placement Warrants held by Cantor, are not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(8). The Sponsor, officers, and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (x) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (y) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination. 12 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Note 5 — Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On February 14, 2025, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s expenses, for which the Company issued 6,325,000 of Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”). On April 30, 2025, the Company, through a share recapitalization, issued an additional 1,265,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding 7,590,000 Founder Shares, at approximately $ 0.003 per share. All share and per share data has been retroactively presented. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 900,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised, if at all. On May 1, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the Over-Allotment Option by the underwriters, 900,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 90,000 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Sponsor holding 7,500,000 Founder Shares. On March 6, 2025, the Sponsor granted membership interests equivalent to an aggregate of 125,000 Founder Shares to the directors of the Company in exchange for their services through the initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares, represented by such membership interests, will remain with the Sponsor if the holder of such membership interests is no longer serving the Company prior to the initial Business Combination. The membership interest assignment of the Founder Shares to the holders of such interests are 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 assignment date. The total fair value of the 125,000 Founder Shares represented by such membership interests assigned to the holders of such interests on March 6, 2025 was $ 161,250 or $ 1.29 per share. The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on March 6, 2025, the date of the grant agreement, using a calculation prepared by a third-party valuation team, which takes into consideration the market adjustment of 15.0 %, a risk-free rate of 4.14 %, volatility of 2.0 %, and implied share price of $ 9.90 . The Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors. The membership interests were assigned subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination). 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 membership interests that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the assignment of the membership interests. As of September 30, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directs agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Letter Agreement signatories with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 -trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up. 13 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Due from Sponsor As of May 1, 2025, the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor owed the Company an aggregate amount of $ 2,000,000 , representing the Private Placement Warrant purchase by the Sponsor. The Sponsor settled the total amount it owed to the Company on May 5, 2025 (see Note 9). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no balance due from the Sponsor. Promissory Note — Related Party The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of May 1, 2025, the Company had $ 294,256 outstanding borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note, which became due on demand. On May 5, 2025, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available. 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 Working Capital Loans. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding. Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination. Registration Rights The holders of the (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) any private placement-equivalent warrants issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated April 30, 2025, which the Company entered into with the Sponsor and the other holders thereto. The majority of holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, Cantor may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. 14 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Underwriting Agreement The underwriters had a 45 -day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,960,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On May 1, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option, purchasing 3,600,000 Option Units and forfeiting the remaining unexercised balance of 360,000 Option Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Option Unit. The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $ 5,280,000 ( 2.0 % of the gross proceeds of the Units offered in the Initial Public Offering), excluding any proceeds from Units sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, which was paid to the underwriters upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.0 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and 6.0 % of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, $ 12,720,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, dated April 30, 2025, which the Company entered into with Cantor (such fee, the “Deferred Fee”). Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit Preference Shares The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. As of September 30, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. Class A Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. As of September 30, 2025, there were no Class A Ordinary Shares issued or outstanding, excluding the 30,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. Class B Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. As of September 30, 2025, there were 7,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 % of the sum of (i) the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. 15 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Holders of record of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Business Combination, the holders of more than 50 % of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90 % (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company. Warrants As of September 30, 2025, there were 22,280,000 Warrants outstanding, including 15,000,000 Public Warrants and 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such Warrants will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying such unit. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, dated April 30, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60 th ) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Class A Ordinary Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. 16 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 If the Public Warrant holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by Continental or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants, as applicable. Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants: ● in whole and not in part; ● at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant; ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and ● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. 17 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value: Level September 30, 2025 Assets: Investments held in Trust Account 1 $ 305,110,483 The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. At May 1, 2025, the fair value of the Public Warrants was $ 2,700,000 , or $ 0.18 per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants are classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants: May 1, 2025 Implied Class A Ordinary Share price $ 9.91 Exercise price $ 11.50 Simulation term (years) 7.0 Risk-free rate (continuous) 4.07 % Selected volatility 3.0 % Probability of De-SPAC and Market Adjustment 14.0 % Note 9 — Segment Information FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their unaudited condensed financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , who reviews the assets, operating results and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance . Accordingly, Management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the condensed statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in the net income and total assets, which include the following: September 30, 2025 Trust Account $ 305,110,483 Cash $ 1,080,619 18 REPUBLIC DIGITAL ACQUISITION COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 For the Period from January 23, 2025 (Inception) Through September 30, 2025 General and administrative costs $ 71,815 $ 245,806 Earnings from investments held in Trust Account $ 3,154,678 $ 5,110,483 The CODM reviews earnings from investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of interest expense on marketable securities held in the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the investment management trust agreement, dated April 30, 2025, which the Company entered into with Continental. . General operation and formation costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews operating and formation costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Operating and formation costs, as reported on the accompany unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expense provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Note 10 — Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as set forth below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. On November 10, 2025, Jon Knipper notified the Board of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of October 24, 2025. Mr. Knipper’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices and he will continue as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. On November 13, 2025, the Board appointed Robert Urgo to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of October 24, 2025. For more information on Mr. Urgo’s appointment, see Part II, Item 5 “Other Information” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, of which these financial statements form a part. 19 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”. Overview We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 23, 2025, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Republic Sponsor 1 LLC. Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on industries that complement our Management Team’s background in fintech, software and cryptocurrency. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful. Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on April 30, 2025. On May 1, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, including 3,600,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $300,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,280,000. Of those 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,640,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,640,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $300,000,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. The Trust Account may be invested only (i) 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, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or (iii) as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank as determined by us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. We have until May 1, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such earlier liquidation date as our Board may approve or such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. 20 We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Recent Developments On November 10, 2025, Jon Knipper notified the Board of his resignation as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of October 24, 2025. Mr. Knipper’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with our Company or the Board on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices and he will continue as our Chief Operating Officer. On November 13, 2025, the Board appointed Robert Urgo to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of October 24, 2025. For more information on Mr. Urgo’s appointment, see Part II, Item 5 “Other Information” of the Report. Results of Operations We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (y) the Initial Public Offering and (z) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income $3,093,694, which consisted of earnings from investments held in Trust Account of $3,154,678 and interest income - operating account of $10,831 offset by general and administrative costs of $71,815. For the period from January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, we had a net income $4,878,813, which consisted of earnings from investments held in Trust Account of $5,110,483 and interest income - operating account of $14,136 offset by general and administrative costs of $245,806. Liquidity and Capital Resources Following the Initial Public Offering, including the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $300,000,000 was initially placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $18,629,500, consisting of $5,280,000 of cash underwriting fee, $12,720,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $629,500 of other offering costs. For the period from January 23, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $323,947. Net income of $4,878,813 was affected by payment of general and administrative costs through the IPO Promissory Note of $65,934 and earnings from investments held in Trust Account of $5,110,483. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $158,211 of cash. 21 As of September 30, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $305,110,483 (including $5,110,483 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which intertest shall be net of any taxes payable and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $1,080,619. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. Our liquidity needs through September 30, 2025 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. Promissory Note Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $$294,256 was fully repaid following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on May 5, 2025. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note. Working Capital Loans In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows: Underwriting Agreement The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of (i) 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, other than the proceeds pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and (ii) 6.0% of the gross proceeds pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, or $12,720,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the closing of an initial Business Combination, but such Deferred Fee shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. 22 Registration Rights The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) any private placement-equivalent warrants issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Cantor may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, Cantor may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Letter Agreement Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies. See Note 2—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” for additional information regarding these critical accounting policies and other significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed. 23 Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption We account for the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ” . Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. All of the Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”. Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to shareholders by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the applicable periods. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per Ordinary Share and allocate net income (loss) pro rata to Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, nonredeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value is not in excess of the fair value. Recent Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Not applicable. 24 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property. Item 1A. Risk Factors. As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for risks relating to our operations, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement and (ii) 2025 Q2 Quarterly Report . As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors . Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities T here were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by the Report. However, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,280,000. Of those 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,640,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,640,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act Use of Proceeds There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by the Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our 2025 Q2 Quarterly Report. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers There were no repurchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by the Report. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. None. 25 Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. Item 5. Other Information. Trading Arrangements During the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
