Item 9A. 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 Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
(our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2025,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
We do not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter
how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls
and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures,
no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies
and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report does not
include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our
independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most
recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Prior Blank Check Experience
Our management team’s
previous SPAC experience includes the founding of DWAC, which raised $287.5 million in September 2021 and subsequently completed its initial
business combination with TMTG (Nasdaq: DJT) in March 2024. In connection with that business combination, there was $310.6 million in
trust non-redemptions, $50 million in convertible debt financing, and $11.3 million (excluding the $287.5 million mentioned above) in
equity was raised.
Our Chief Executive Officer,
Eric Swider, also served as a member of the board of directors of Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp. (“BCAC”), a SPAC which
previously sought a business combination opportunity in the technology-focused middle market and emerging growth companies sector, with
a geographical focus in North, Central and South America. In October 2022, BCAC announced the redemption of all of its outstanding common
stock held by its public shareholders, and subsequently redeemed the full amount that was deposited in the trust account and liquidated
and dissolved the Company.

Corporation, a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination that completed its initial public offering
in July 2025.
The past performance of our
management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that
we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination. You should not rely on the historical record of
our management’s performance as indicative of our future performance.
65
Number, Terms of Office and Appointment of Directors and Officers
Our board of directors consists
of 5 members. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our founder shares have the right to appoint all of our directors
and remove members of the board of directors for any reason, and holders of our public shares do not have the right to vote on the appointment
of directors during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended
by a special resolution passed by a majority of at least 90% of our ordinary shares attending and voting in a general meeting. Each of
our directors holds office for a three-year term. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on
our board of directors are filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board
of directors or by a majority of the holders of our ordinary shares (or, prior to our initial business combination, holders of our founder
shares).
Our officers are appointed
by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of
directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of a Chairperson
or Co-Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice
Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards
require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent
director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual
having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise
of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have three “independent directors” as defined
in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Jeffrey Smith, Matan Fattal and Randy Lambert are independent directors under
applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent
directors are present.
Committees of the Board
of Directors
Our board of directors has
three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Subject to
phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of
a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee and the nominating
and corporate governance committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter
approved by our board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charters of each committee are available
on our website.
Audit Committee
We
have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required
to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. The members of our audit committee are
Jeffrey Smith, Matan Fattal and Randy Lambert, and Jeffrey Smith serves as chair of the audit committee .
Each member of the audit committee
is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Jeffrey Smith qualifies as an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
66
We adopted an audit committee
charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial
statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s
qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting
firm ;
● the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and
oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other registered public accounting firm engaged by
us ;
● pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided
by the independent registered public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval
policies and procedures ;
● reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public
accounting firm all relationships the independent registered public accounting firm has with us in order to evaluate their continued
independence ;
● setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees
of the independent registered public accounting firm ;
● setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations ;
● obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from
the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control
procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm,
or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more
independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues ;
● meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial
statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;
● reviewing and approving any related party transaction required
to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction ;
and
● reviewing with management, the independent registered public
accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with
regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial
statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities .
Compensation Committee
We
have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required
to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. The members of our compensation committee
are Jeffrey Smith, Matan Fattal and Randy Lambert , and Randy Lambert
chairs the compensation committee. Jeffrey Smith, Matan Fattal and Randy
Lambert are each independent.
We have adopted a compensation
committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the compensation committee, including:
● reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals
and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance
in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on
such evaluation ;
67
● reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors
with respect to the compensation, and any incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of
our other officers ;
● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans ;
● implementing and administering our incentive compensation
equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting management in complying with our proxy statement
and annual report disclosure requirements ;
● approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and
other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees ;
● producing a report on executive compensation to be included
in our annual proxy statement ; and
● reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate,
to the remuneration for directors .
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
as indicated above, other than the payment to Sponsor or an affiliate thereof of up to $25,000 per month, for up to 24 months (or up to
30 months from the closing of the initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the
full amount of time, as described in more detail in this prospectus) or during any Extension Period, for office space, utilities, secretarial
and administrative support, other expenses and obligations of Sponsor, and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including
finders, consulting or other similar fees, is paid to any of our existing shareholders, officers, directors or any of their respective
affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly,
prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee is primarily responsible for the review and recommendation
of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.
The charter provides that the
compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel
or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However,
before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee
will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee
We
have established a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors. Jeffrey Smith, Matan Fattal and Randy
Lambert serve as members of our nominating and corporate governance committee.
Under Nasdaq listing standards, all members of the nominating and corporate governance committee must be independent. Matan Fattal
chairs the nominating and corporate governance committee.
We have adopted a nominating
and corporate governance committee charter, which details the principal functions of the nominating and corporate governance committee,
including:
● identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified
to serve as directors, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, and recommending to the board of directors candidates
for nomination for appointment at the annual general meeting or to fill vacancies on the board of directors;
● developing and recommending to the board of directors and
overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;
● coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of
the board of directors, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance of the company ;
and
● reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance
and recommending improvements as and when necessary .
The charter also provides
that the nominating and corporate governance committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of, and terminate, any
search firm to be used to identify director candidates, and is directly responsible for approving the search firm’s fees and other
retention terms.
68
Director Nominations
Our
nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to the board of directors candidates for nomination for appointment at the annual
general meeting. We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary
for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational
background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom,
and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public
shares do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors .
Code of Ethics
We adopted a code of ethics
and business conduct (our “Code of Ethics”) applicable to our directors, officers and employees. You may review this document
by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . In addition, a copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided
without charge upon request from us. We will disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current
Report on Form 8-K. we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments,
or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under
applicable SEC or Nasdaq rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our
website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references
to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company adopted an insider trading policy which governs transactions in our securities by the Company and its directors, officers, employees, consultants, and contractors and promotes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 19.1.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors
and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
● duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer
believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
● duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers
were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
● directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future
discretion;
● duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections
of shareholders;
● duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is
a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
● duty to exercise independent judgment.
In addition to the above, directors
also owe a duty of care, which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent
person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions
as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge, skill and experience of that director.
69
As set out above, directors
have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit
as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized
in advance by the shareholders; provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted
in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
In addition, members of our
management team and our board of directors indirectly own founder shares and, due to their personal and financial interests in the founder
shares, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which
to effectuate our initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their
motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our directors’
and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining
whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interest.
We issued Sponsor a Working
Capital Convertible Note in the principal amount of up to $639,375, which we may draw down in our sole discretion, from time to time in
order to pay for working capital expenses or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Any
principal amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Convertible Note may be converted into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion
price per share equal to the lower of (i) $8.00 per share and (ii) the Note Conversion VWAP, at the option of Sponsor. The conversion
price of the Working Capital Convertible Note may be significantly less than the market price of our shares at the time such loan is converted.
Any amount that are not converted into Class A ordinary shares will be repaid in cash on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Working
Capital Convertible Note will be the earlier of (i) Lock-up Expiration Date and (ii) the date that our winding up becomes effective. Certain
members of our management team and our board will directly or indirectly own interest in Sponsor, and due to their financial interests
in Sponsor, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether the Working Capital Convertible Note should be drawn down as well
as the timing and manner of conversion or repayment (as applicable) of any outstanding principal balances under the Working Capital Convertible
Note.
We pay Sponsor or an affiliate
thereof a total of $25,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Additionally, Sponsor,
Sponsor Investors, any of their respective affiliates or certain of our directors and officers may make working capital loans, up to $1,500,000
of which may be converted into Class A ordinary shares, at the price per share equal to the lower of (i) $8.00 per share or (ii) the Note
Conversion VWAP, at the option of the lender (as further described in the IPO Prospectus), in order to finance transaction costs in connection
with an intended initial business combination. Any fees we may pay Sponsor or an affiliate thereof for services rendered to us after the
initial public offering or any repayment of the working capital loans made to us by Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, any of their respective
affiliates or certain of our directors and officers, may be contingent on the completion of a business combination. As a result, Sponsor,
Sponsor Investors, any of their respective affiliates or certain of our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination due to their
personal and financial interests.
Our management team, in their
capacities as directors, officers or employees of Sponsor or its affiliates or in their other endeavors, may choose to present potential
business combinations to the related entities described above, current or future entities affiliated with or managed by either of Sponsor,
Sponsor Investors, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman
Islands law and any other applicable fiduciary duties.
Our directors and officers
presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to
which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, including, for example,
TMTG. Accordingly, if any of our directors or officers becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity
to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may need to honor these fiduciary or contractual obligations
to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, or in the case of a non-compete restriction, may not present such opportunity
to us at all, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any
duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business
activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate
in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on
the other. Our directors and officers are also not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs, and, accordingly, will
have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations
and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations
will materially affect our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or complete our initial business combination.
70
Potential investors should
also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
● None of our directors or officers are required to commit his
or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business
activities .
● In the course of their other business activities, our directors
and officers may become aware of investment and business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the
other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular
business opportunity should be presented.
● Sponsor, our officers and directors and the non-Sponsor investors
agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the consummation
of our initial business combination; provided that, pursuant to the Non-Sponsor Investor Letter Agreement, such waiver of redemption
rights shall only be applicable to the founder shares held by the non-Sponsor investors, and not applicable to any public shares held
by them. Additionally, Sponsor, our officers and directors and the non-Sponsor investors agreed to waive their redemption rights with
respect to their founder shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial
public offering (or up to 30 months from the closing of the initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business
combination by the full amount of time) or during any Extension Period. However, if Sponsor, our officers and directors and the non-Sponsor
investors (or any of our directors, officers or affiliates) acquire public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions
from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the prescribed
time frame. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the
private placement warrants held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement
warrants will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the 90% of the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or
salable by our initial shareholders until the earlier of (x) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination
or (y) subsequent to our initial business combination (A) if the last reported sale price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds
$12.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the
like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or
(B) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in
all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. For the avoidance
of doubt, 10% of the founder shares held by our Sponsor, our officers and directors and the non-Sponsor investors shall not be subject
to such transfer restrictions (such date on which the founder shares are no longer subject to restriction, the “Lock-up Expiration
Date”). With certain limited exceptions, the private placement warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants,
are not transferable, assignable or salable by Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Since
Sponsor, Sponsor Investors and our directors and officers may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares and warrants and will directly
or indirectly own founder shares following the initial public offering, our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in
determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination .
● Our directors and officers may negotiate employment or consulting
agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive
compensation following our initial business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining
whether to proceed with a particular business combination .
71
● Our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest
with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such directors and officers was included
by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination .
● Our sponsor and members of our management team will directly
or indirectly own our securities following the initial public offering, and accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining
whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Upon the closing
of the initial public offering, Sponsor will have invested in us an aggregate of $3,846,591, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price
for the founder shares (or approximately $0.003 per share) and the $3,821,591 purchase price for the private placement warrants (or $1.00
per warrant), which may be exercised on a cashless basis. Accordingly, our management team, which owns interests in our sponsor, may
be more willing to pursue a business combination with a riskier or less-established target business than would be the case if our sponsor
had paid the same per share price for the founder shares as our public shareholders paid for their public shares and if our sponsor were
required to pay cash to exercise the private placement warrants.
The conflicts described above
may not be resolved in our favor.
Accordingly, as a result of
multiple business affiliations, our directors and officers have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities
meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our directors and officers
and certain of our affiliates currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may present a conflict of interest:

We are not prohibited from
pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, our directors or officers
or the non-Sponsor investors, or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with either of Sponsor,
Sponsor Investors, our directors or officers, or the non-Sponsor investors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination
with such a company, we, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment
banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from a valuation or appraisal firm that such an initial business combination is fair to our
shareholders from a financial point of view. Furthermore, in no event will Sponsor, Sponsor Investors or any of our directors or existing
officers, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by the company any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior
to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination. In addition, pursuant
to Nasdaq listing rules, our initial business combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors. Further, commencing
on the date our securities were first listed on Nasdaq, we began to pay Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a total of $25,000 per month for
office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team and other expenses
and obligations of Sponsor.
72
In addition, Sponsor, Sponsor
Investors or any of their respective affiliates may make additional investments in the company in connection with the initial business
combination, although Sponsor, Sponsor Investors and their affiliates have no obligation or current intention to do so. If Sponsor, Sponsor
Investors or any of their respective affiliates elects to make additional investments, such proposed investments could influence Sponsor
and Sponsor Investor’s motivation to complete an initial business combination.
In the event that we submit
our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and the non-Sponsor investors
have agreed, pursuant to the terms of an Insider Letter Agreement and Non-Sponsor Investor Letter Agreement entered into with us, as applicable,
to vote any founder shares and public shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability
and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not
limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred
in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.
We purchased a policy of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement
or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors. We entered
into indemnity agreements with them.
Our officers and directors
have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to
us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only
be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our indemnification obligations
may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions,
the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Clawback Policy
The SEC adopted final rules implementing
the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Nasdaq has adopted listing standards consistent with
the SEC rules. In compliance with those standards, we adopted an incentive compensation recoupment policy, or “clawback” policy,
which applies to our executive officers, within the meaning of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 promulgated
thereunder, who were employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during the applicable recovery period.
73
Policies and Practices Related
to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
We do not grant equity awards
to our executive officers or other employees of the Company and therefore do not have a policy regarding the timing of grants of option
awards in relation to the disclosure of material non-public information by the Company.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Sponsor transferred an aggregate
of 500,000 founder shares to our independent directors and officers prior to the completion of the initial public offering and an aggregate
of 200,000 founder shares to certain of our advisors following the completion of the initial public offering, for their services. Except
for such founder shares that our independent directors received from Sponsor, none of our directors or officers has received any cash
compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of
consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we pay our sponsor or an affiliate thereof a total of $25,000 per
month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team and other
expenses and obligations of Sponsor. Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, our directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, are
reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses
and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that are
made by us to Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, or to our directors, officers or our or any of their respective affiliates. Any such payments
prior to an initial business combination are made from funds held outside the trust account (other than any Permitted Withdrawals). Other
than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement
payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection
with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any
kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by the Company to Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, our directors and officers,
or our or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.
On July 26, 2024, we entered
into an agreement (the “Brio Agreement”) with Brio Financial Group (“Brio Financial”), pursuant to which Brio
Financial provides certain financial and accounting services to us, including, but not limited to, assisting us with developing and documenting
a monthly and quarterly accounting closing process, preparing financial statements, maintaining our accounting system and our internal
debt and equity ledgers, preparing the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results portion of quarterly and
annual reports, and assisting us in connection with the initial public offering. Under the Brio Agreement, we agreed to pay Brio Financial
a fixed price of $16,500 for initial services and a fixed monthly rate of $2,000 for recurring services, which commenced in September
2024. Additionally, we agreed to pay a fixed monthly rate of $6,000 for Chief Financial Officer services provided by Ian Rhodes. Pursuant
to the terms of the Brio Agreement, Brio Financial is compensated for travel and other out-of-pocket costs and is entitled to indemnification
and director and officer insurance. Either we or Brio Financial may terminate the Brio Agreement at any time, for any reason, within 10
days of written notice to the other party. Ian Rhodes, our Chief Financial Officer, is a Director at Brio Financial.
After the completion of our
initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other
compensation from the combined company. All compensation will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender
offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the initial proposed business combination, because the directors
of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to
be paid to our officers after the completion of our initial business combination will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors
for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent
directors on our board of directors.
We are not party to any agreements
with our directors and officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. We do not intend to take any action to ensure
that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although
it is possible that some or all of our directors and officers may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after
our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s
motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after
the consummation of our initial business combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business
combination.

Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
We have no compensation plans
under which equity securities are authorized for issuance.
The following table sets forth
information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of the date of this annual report, by:
● each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares;
● each of our executive officers and directors; and
● all our executive officers and directors as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated,
we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially
owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of warrants as they are not exercisable within 60 days
of the date of this annual report.
The beneficial ownership
of our ordinary shares is based on 24,150,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares and 7,011,288 shares of Class B ordinary shares

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Founder Shares
On July 30, 2024, the Sponsor
received 9,583,333 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”) in exchange for a payment of $25,000
to a vendor. On March 13, 2025, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 3,740,591 Founder shares, which the Company
cancelled. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender of 3,740,591 Class B ordinary shares
to the Company for no consideration on March 13, 2025. On May 14, 2025 the Company issued an additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares
to the Sponsor for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor owning 7,011,288 Class B ordinary shares as of May 14, 2025. Shares and
associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the issuance of the additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares to the
Company on May 14, 2025.
Institutional investors (none
of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor) (the “non-Sponsor investors”), accredited
investors, and certain directors of the Company purchased 1,545,376 Founder shares from the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,800,032. The Sponsor purchased 3,821,591 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($3,821,591 in the aggregate) in
private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering. As additional consideration to induce certain
of the Company’s directors and the non-Sponsor investors to purchase Founder shares from the Sponsor, the Company issued an aggregate
of 772,688 of the 3,821,591 private placement warrants to such non-Sponsor investors upon the consummation of the Private Placement, at
no additional cost to such non-Sponsor investors.
The Sponsor transferred an
aggregate of 500,000 Founder shares to the Company’s independent directors and officers prior to the completion of Initial Public
Offering. The Company has estimated the fair value of the 500,000 Founder shares as $850,000 on the date of transfer. The transferred
shares are subject to the lock up provisions described below. As such, the Company will not recognize any expense until the initial business
combination is probable. The Sponsor may transfer up to an additional 200,000 Founder shares to certain advisors after the completion
of the initial public offering and prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.
Up to 914,514 Founder shares
held by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment
option was exercised, so that the number of Founder shares would collectively represent 22.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares upon the completion of the initial public offering. No Founder shares were forfeited as the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment
option.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject
to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell 90% of the Founder shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the
completion of an initial business combination and (B) subsequent to an initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price
of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $11.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial
business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction
that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, 10% of the Founder shares shall not be subject to such restrictions (such date on which the
founder shares are no longer subject to restriction, the “Lock-up Expiration Date”).
General and Administrative Services
The Company entered into an
agreement, commencing on the effective date of the initial public offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of
an initial business combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a monthly fee of $25,000 for office space,
utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred general and administrative
services expenses of $188,970, which are included in formation and operating expenses on the statements of operations. As of December
31, 2025 the Company owed the Sponsor $8,000 under the agreement, which is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
76
Financial and Accounting Services
On July 26, 2024, the Company
entered into an agreement (the “Brio Agreement”) with Brio Financial Group (“Brio Financial”), pursuant to which
Brio Financial will provide certain financial and accounting services to the Company, including, but not limited to, assisting the Company
with developing and documenting a monthly and quarterly accounting closing process, preparing financial statements, maintaining the Company’s
accounting system and its internal debt and equity ledgers, preparing the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results portion of quarterly and annual reports, and assisting the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Under the Brio
Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Brio Financial a fixed price of $16,500 for initial services and a fixed monthly rate of $2,000 for
recurring services, which commenced in September 2024. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay a fixed monthly rate of $6,000 for Chief
Financial Officer services provided by Ian Rhodes. Pursuant to the terms of the Brio Agreement, Mr. Rhodes will be compensated for travel
and other out-of-pocket costs and will be entitled to indemnification and director and officer insurance. Either the Company or Brio Financial
may terminate the Brio Agreement at any time, for any reason, within 10 days of written notice to the other party. Mr. Rhodes is a Director
at Brio Financial but otherwise does not hold any ownership interest in Brio Financial. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company
incurred $36,000 of costs, which were capitalized as deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 the Company
owed Brio Financial $16,500 under the Brio Agreement, which is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company incurred $26,500 of costs, which were accounted for offering costs. In addition, the Company incurred expenses under
the Brio Agreement of $67,667, which are included in formation and operating expenses on the statements of operations. As of December
31, 2025 the Company owed Brio Financial $16,000 under the Brio Agreement, which is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
Due from Sponsor
The Company made certain payments
on behalf of the Sponsor. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Sponsor owes the Company $4,540 and $0, respectively.
Unsecured Promissory Note
On March 10, 2025, the Sponsor
entered into an agreement with the Company to loan the Company up to $300,000 under an unsecured promissory note to be used for a portion
of the expenses of the initial public offering. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due at the closing of the initial
public offering. The Company did not borrow any monies under this loan agreement.
Convertible Promissory Note
Upon
the completion of the initial public offering, the Company issued the Sponsor a convertible promissory note (the “Working Capital
Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of up to $639,375 which the Company may draw down in its sole discretion, from time to
time in order to pay for working capital expenses or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.
Any principal amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Convertible Note may be converted into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion
price per share equal to the lower of (i) $8.00 per share and (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for
the 20 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the loans are converted (“Note Conversion VWAP”),
at the option of the Sponsor. Any amount that is not converted into Class A ordinary shares will be repaid in cash on the maturity date.
The maturity date of the Working Capital Convertible Note will be the earlier of (i) the Lock-up Expiration Date and (ii) the date that
the Company’s winding up becomes effective. The Company did not borrow any monies under this loan agreement.
77
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”).
Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of an initial business combination,
without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of an initial
business combination into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of $8.00 and the Note Conversion
VWAP, at the option of the lender. The shares issuable upon conversion of such loans would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares
that are sold as a part of the Public Units in the initial public offering. In the event that an initial business combination is not
consummated, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Company did not borrow any monies under this loan agreement.
Related Party Transactions
Policy
In connection with the closing
of our initial public offering, we adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly,
the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
Prior to the closing of our
initial public offering, we adopted a Code of Ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under
guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board of directors) or as disclosed
in our public filings with the SEC. Under our Code of Ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction,
arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company.
In addition, our audit committee,
pursuant to a written charter adopted prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, is responsible for reviewing and approving
related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the
audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority
of the members of the entire audit committee constitutes a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members
of the audit committee is required to approve a related party transaction. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments
that were made to Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, or to our directors or officers, or our or any of their respective affiliates.
These procedures are intended
to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the
part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts
of interest, we agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of Sponsor, Sponsor
Investors, or our directors or officers unless we, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, obtain an opinion from an
independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or from a valuation or appraisal firm that our initial business combination
is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view. In addition, pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, our initial business combination
must be approved by a majority of our independent directors.
78
Furthermore, there will be
no finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments made by us to Sponsor, Sponsor Investors, or to our directors or officers, or
our or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business
combination, other than the following payments, which if made prior to our initial business combination, will be made from funds held
outside the trust account or, if made after the completion of the initial business combination, from any amounts remaining from the proceeds
of the trust account released to us in connection therewith:
● repayment of payments to vendors by Sponsor to cover offering-related
and organizational expenses;
● repayment of the Working Capital Convertible Note made by
Sponsor to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, in the principal amount of up to $639,375,
which we may draw down in our sole discretion, from time to time. Any principal amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Convertible
Note may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity, at a conversion price per share equal to
the lower of (i) $8.00 and (ii) the Note Conversion VWAP, at the option of Sponsor. The shares issuable upon conversion of the Working
Capital Convertible Note would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares that are sold as a part of the units of the initial public
offering;
● payment to our sponsor or an affiliate thereof of a total
of $25,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services;
● aggregate payment of up to approximately $6,000 per month
in salary paid to Ian Rhodes for performing services in his capacity as Chief Financial Officer prior to the consummation of our initial
business combination;
● payment of customary fees for financial advisory services;
● reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying,
investigating and completing an initial business combination; and
● repayment of loans which may be made by Sponsor, Sponsor Investors,
any of their respective affiliates or certain of our directors and officers to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended
initial business combination, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect
thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares of the post-business combination entity, at a
conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) $8.00 and (ii) the Note Conversion VWAP, at the option of the lender. The shares
issuable upon conversion of such loans would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares that are sold as a part of the units of the
initial public offering.
The above payments may be
funded using the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants not held in the trust account
(other than any Permitted Withdrawals) or, upon completion of the initial business combination, from any amounts remaining from the proceeds
of the trust account released to us in connection therewith.
Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards require
that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other
than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the
company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director. We have three “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our
audit committee is entirely composed of independent directors meeting Nasdaq’s additional requirements applicable to members of
the audit committee. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Item 14.
Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
The firm of Adeptus Partners,
LLC, or Adeptus, acts as our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company incurred audit fees with Adeptus of $70,000 and $20,000,
for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period July 2, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024. The Company did not incur
any audit related fees, tax fees, or other fees.
Pre-Approval Policy
Our audit committee was formed
upon the consummation of our initial public offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services,
although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation
of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted
non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions
for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period July 2, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period July 2, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, management has determined that given the liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company plans to consummate a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

RENATUS TACTICAL ACQUISITION CORP I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 2, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, however, it intends to focus its search on high potential businesses based in the United States. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company; and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 2, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and search for a Business Combination opportunity, which are described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On May 16, 2025, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Public Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares and public warrants included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”, and “Public Warrants”, respectively), including 3,150,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a price of $ 10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 241,500,000 (the “Public Proceeds”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 3,821,591 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to International SPAC Management Group I LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 3,821,591 (the “Private Proceeds” and together with the Public Proceeds, the “Offering Proceeds”). The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering (see Note 8).
Transaction costs amounted to $ 12,213,743 , consisting of $ 1,207,500 of cash underwriting fee, $ 8,452,500 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 2,553,743 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and Permitted Withdrawals on the interest income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $ 10.025 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
F- 7
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.025 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account), net of taxes payable for the Company’s franchise and income taxes (“Permitted Withdrawals”). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Private Placement Warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires a resolution be passed by a majority of the holders of the Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the “Class A ordinary shares”) and the Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (the “Class B ordinary shares,” and together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”) as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination and waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Articles provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholder’s rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment.
If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 30 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company’s board of directors elects to extend, by resolution, the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by two three-month increments) (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to pay the Permitted Withdrawals, if any (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
F- 8
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per unit ($ 10.025 ).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.025 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 $ 10.025 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has it 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 Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Company’s initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $ 10.025 per Public Share. In such event, the Company may not be able to complete its initial Business Combination, and the Public Shareholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of their Public Shares. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has cash of $ 4,031 and working capital of $ 388,033 . The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company anticipates that the cash held outside of the Trust Account of $ 4,031 will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate in the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
F- 9
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, rising trade tensions between the United States and China, uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the policies of the United States related to foreign policy, trade policy, economic policy and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company
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, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 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 financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
F- 10
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
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 did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering” and Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s).”
Deferred offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with preparation for the Initial Public Offering, which include professional and registration fees incurred. Deferred offering costs, together with the underwriting discounts and commissions, were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred offering costs of $ 0 and $ 597,798 , respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Net Income (loss) 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 to the Ordinary Shares. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing 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 income per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement or the potential dilution from the convertible note since their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share.
F- 11
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in dollars, except per share amounts):
Year Ended
December 31, 2025
Redeemable Non-redeemable
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share numerator:
Interest income $ 6,081,025 $ 590
Less: Allocation of expenses ( 702,909 ) ( 322,964 )
Total $ 5,378,116 $ ( 322,374 )
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share denominator: 15,259,615 7,011,288
Weighted-average shares outstanding
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.35 $ ( 0.05 )
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 (“FDIC”) limit and cash held in the trust with a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) limit. As of December 31, 2025, the cash held did not exceed the FDIC limit As of December 31, 2025, the cash held in the trust in excess of the SIPC limit was $ 247,933,492 . 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.
Cash Held in Trust Account
On December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 248,183,492 in cash held in the Trust Account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
F- 12
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of the cash held in the Trust Account is measured under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Under ASC 815-40, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment and as such will be recorded in shareholder’s equity. If the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants no longer meet the criteria for equity treatment, they will be recorded as a liability and remeasured each period with changes recorded in the statements of operations.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies the Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, on December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.
F- 13
On December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
Gross proceeds $ 241,500,000
Less: Proceeds allocated to public warrants ( 4,557,833 )
Less: Class A ordinary share issuance costs ( 11,968,968 )
Add: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 17,130,551
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption May 16, 2025 242,103,750

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption June 30, 2025 243,344,556
Add: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 2,512,269
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption September 30, 2025 245,856,825
Add: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 2,326,667
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption December 31, 2025 $ 248,183,492
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 — Segment Reporting — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This update requires public entities to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2025, the Company reported its operations as a single reportable segment, noting no disaggregation of Company activities, management or allocation of resources by geographic region, business activity or organizational method, thus this new guidance does not affect the disclosures. See Note 10 for further information.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 24,150,000 at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per unit. Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
Effective June 9, 2025, holders of the Company’s Units may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants included in the Units.
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company, in a private placement, sold 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTIES
Founder Shares
On July 30, 2024, the Sponsor received 9,583,333 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a payment of $ 25,000 to a vendor. On March 13, 2025, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 3,740,591 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender of 3,740,591 Class B ordinary shares to the Company for no consideration on March 13, 2025. On May 14, 2025 the Company issued an additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor owning 7,011,288 Class B ordinary shares as of May 14, 2025. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the issuance of the additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares to the Company on May 14, 2025.
F- 14
Institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor) (the “non-Sponsor investors”), accredited investors, and certain directors of the Company purchased 1,545,376 Founder Shares from the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 3,800,032 . The Sponsor purchased 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant ($ 3,821,591 in the aggregate) in Private Placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As additional consideration to induce certain of the Company’s directors and the non-Sponsor investors to purchase Founder Shares from the Sponsor, the Company issued an aggregate of 772,688 of the 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants to such non-Sponsor investors upon the consummation of the Private Placement, at no additional cost to such non-Sponsor investors.
The Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 500,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s independent directors and officers prior to the completion of Initial Public Offering. The Company has estimated the fair value of the 500,000 Founder Shares as $ 850,000 on the date of transfer. The transferred shares are subject to the lock up provisions described below. As such, the Company will not recognize any expense until the Initial Business Combination is probable. The Sponsor may transfer up to an additional 200,000 Founder Shares to certain advisors after the completion of the Initial Public Offering and prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.
Up to 914,514 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent 22.5 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. No Founder Shares were forfeited as the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell 90 % of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 11.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, 10 % of the Founder Shares shall not be subject to such restrictions (such date on which the founder shares are no longer subject to restriction, the “Lock-up Expiration Date”).
General and Administrative Services
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a monthly fee of $ 25,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred general and administrative services expenses of $ 188,970 , which are included in formation and operating expenses on the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 the Company owed the Sponsor $ 8,000 under the agreement, which is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
Financial and Accounting Services
On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Brio Agreement”) with Brio Financial Group (“Brio Financial”), pursuant to which Brio Financial will provide certain financial and accounting services to the Company, including, but not limited to, assisting the Company with developing and documenting a monthly and quarterly accounting closing process, preparing financial statements, maintaining the Company’s accounting system and its internal debt and equity ledgers, preparing the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results portion of quarterly and annual reports, and assisting the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Under the Brio Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Brio Financial a fixed price of $ 16,500 for initial services and a fixed monthly rate of $ 2,000 for recurring services, which commenced in September 2024. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay a fixed monthly rate of $ 6,000 for Chief Financial Officer services provided by Ian Rhodes.

Unsecured Promissory Note
On March 10, 2025, the Sponsor entered into an agreement with the Company to loan the Company up to $ 300,000 under an unsecured promissory note to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company did no t borrow any monies under this loan agreement.
Convertible Promissory Note
Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company issued the Sponsor a convertible promissory note (the “Working Capital Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of up to $ 639,375 which the Company may draw down in its sole discretion, from time to time in order to pay for working capital expenses or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination. Any principal amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Convertible Note may be converted into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) $ 8.00 per share and (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the loans are converted (“Note Conversion VWAP”), at the option of the Sponsor. Any amount that is not converted into Class A ordinary shares will be repaid in cash on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Working Capital Convertible Note will be the earlier of (i) the Lock-up Expiration Date and (ii) the date that the Company’s winding up becomes effective. The Company did not borrow any monies under this loan agreement.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of $ 8.00 and the Note Conversion VWAP, at the option of the lender. The shares issuable upon conversion of such loans would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares that are sold as a part of the Public Units in the Initial Public Offering. In the event that a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Company did not borrow any monies under this loan agreement.

NOTE 6 — CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On July 24, 2025, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $ 250,000 with an interest rate of 0 % to an investor of the Company. The principal balance is payable by the Company upon the earlier of: (i) the date of the consummation of the initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. Any principal amounts outstanding under the Investor Convertible Note may be converted into a number of units of the Company, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant of one Class A ordinary share, equal to (A) the outstanding principal amount to be converted, divided by (B) $ 5.00 ; provided, however, that the Investor Convertible Note shall only be convertible upon, and subject to, the closing of an Initial Business Combination. The units issuable upon conversion of the Investor Convertible Note will be identical to the Public Units that were sold in the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $ 250,000 and $ 0 , respectively outstanding under the Convertible Note.
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Convertible Note or Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,150,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option as of May 16, 2025.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.05 per unit, or $ 1,207,500 , which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $ 0.35 per Public Unit, or up to $ 8,452,500 in the aggregate, payable based on the percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions of Public Shares. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Service Providers Fees
Certain service providers have agreed to defer the payment of certain fees and expenses until the completion of the initial Business Combination. The amount as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 1,680,435 and $ 0 , respectively.
NOTE 8 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2025.
F- 17
Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 7,011,288 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors of the Company’s board prior to the Business Combination. Holders of ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as otherwise required by law. In connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, it may enter into a shareholders agreement or other arrangements with the shareholders of the target or other investors to provide for voting or other corporate governance arrangements that differ from those in effect upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The Founder Shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and will automatically convert at a ratio of one-for-one into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination) at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
NOTE 9 — WARRANTS
There were 15,896,591 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025, including 12,075,000 Public Warrants and 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants. There were no warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Public Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary share pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
F- 18
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A ordinary share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30 -day redemption period to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like)
● for any 10 trading days within a 20 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described in this paragraph, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise their warrant following the notice of redemption to do so on a cashless basis. In the case of such a cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Public Warrants. If its management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Class A ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case.
The Company has established the $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted) redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Public Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $ 18.00 redemption trigger price, as well as the $ 11.50 Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by its board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of its initial Business Combination on the date of the completion of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 day trading period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Public Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

NOTE 10 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report, in their financial statements, information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive 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 reporting 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 statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets.
Formation and operating expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews formation and operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Formation and operating expenses, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
As of December 31,
2025 As of December 31,

Total Assets $ 248,611,625 $ 624,375
All other segment items included in net income (loss) are reported on the statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the $ 248,183,492 cash held in trust is measured under Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Public and Private Warrants is measured under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of May 16, 2025. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Simulation Model. The expected term of the warrant is based on the actual term of the warrant in the event of a successful business combination. The probability of an initial business combination is based on historical data from SPACs that have successfully completed an IPO and then gone on to complete a business combination. The volatility is based on historical volatility of comparable publicly traded SPACs.
The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ equity and will not require remeasurement after issuance.
The market assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
As of
May 16,
2025
Term 5.0 years
Dividends $ 0
Risk Free Rate 4.06 %
Probability of an Initial Business Combination 45 %
Volatility 6.0 %
NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through March 13, 2026, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
