Number,
Terms of Office and Election of Executive Officers and Directors
Our board of directors consists
of five members. Only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on (i) the appointment and removal of directors
prior to the consummation of the initial business combination and (ii) prior to the closing of the initial business combination, and
whilst any Class B ordinary shares are issued and outstanding, continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including
any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of the Company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the
Company, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands).
Holders of our Class A ordinary shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors or on continuing the
Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands 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 at least 90% of our Class B ordinary shares voting in a general
meeting. Each of our directors will hold office until terminated as described in the amended and restated articles and memorandum of
association. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board or by a majority of the 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 provides that our officers may consist of a Chairman,
a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries,
a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of any publicly traded class of
our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company with the SEC. Officers,
directors, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC’s regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a) forms that they file.
As of December 31, 2025, our
executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owner had not become obligated to file reports under Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We currently have two standing
committees under the board of directors: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Each of our audit committee and our compensation
committee are composed solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that is approved by our board and has
the composition and responsibilities described below.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Our audit committee consists of Ms. Cuocolo, Mr. Platshon, and Mr. Ryde, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Ms. Cuocolo serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Ms. Cuocolo and Mr. Platshon qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
●
assisting board oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;
21
●
the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
●
pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
●
reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
●
setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
●
setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
●
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
●
meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;
●
reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
●
reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors, which consists of Ms. Cuocolo, Mr. Platshon, and Mr. Ryde, each of whom is an independent director under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules. Mr. Ryde serves as the chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
●
reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation (if any is paid by us), evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
●
reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, 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;
22
●
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, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Ms. Cuocolo, Mr. Platshon, and Mr. Ryde. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
Prior to our initial business combination, the board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by holders of our founder shares during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at an annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board.
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. As of December 31, 2025, we had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Insider Trading Policy
We
have adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by
directors, officers, employees and the Company that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules
and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to us.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We will make a printed copy of our code of ethics available to any shareholder who so requests. Requests for a printed copy may be directed to us as follows: SPACSphere Acquisition Corp., 8795 Folsom Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95826.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default. We will enter into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We may purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to the company, including the following:
●
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;
●
duty to not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
●
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 and skill, 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 which that director has.
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 at the expense of the company. 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.
24
Our directors and officers may now be, or in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business. We do not have employment contracts with our officers and directors that will limit their ability to work at other businesses, and our officers and directors are not prohibited from becoming either a director or officer of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, our directors and officers may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented to us or to any other blank check company with which they may become involved. Our sponsor, officers and directors have complete discretion, subject to applicable fiduciary duties, as to which blank check company they choose to pursue a business combination and the order in which they pursue business combinations for any of their existing or future blank check companies. As a result, our sponsor, officers and directors may pursue business combinations for blank check companies that it has sponsored in any order, which could result in its more recent blank check companies completing business combinations prior to its blank check companies that were launched earlier. There are no contractual obligations governing the allocation of opportunities among the various blank check companies. Any determination as to which blank check company will pursue a particular acquisition target will be made based on the circumstances of the particular situation, including but not limited to the relative sizes of the blank check companies compared to the sizes of the targets, the need or desire for additional financings and the relevant experience of our sponsor, directors and officers involved with a particular blank check company. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to our directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duties under the Cayman Islands law.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, non-managing sponsor members, or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors or non-managing sponsor members; accordingly, such affiliated person(s) 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 as such affiliated person(s) would have interests different from our public shareholders and would likely not receive any financial benefit unless we consummated such business combination. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) with our sponsor (including its members), officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial business combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Subsequent to the Offering,
our sponsor and members of our management team directly or indirectly own our securities, 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 and in negotiating or accepting the terms of the transaction because of their financial interest in completing an initial
business combination within the completion window. Our sponsor paid a nominal aggregate purchase price of $25,000 for the founder shares,
or approximately $0.004 per share. 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.
25
In the event our sponsor or members of our management team provide loans to us to finance transaction costs and/or incur expenses on our behalf in connection with an initial business combination, such persons 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 and in negotiating or accepting the terms of the transaction as such loans may not be repaid and/or such expenses may not be reimbursed unless we consummate such business combination.
Investors should also be aware
of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
●
None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
●
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities 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.
●
Our initial shareholders, directly or indirectly, hold their respective founder shares and may acquire public shares during or after the Offering in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. Additionally, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 15 months after the Offering of this offering or during any Extension Period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement securities held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, subject to the limitations described herein, the private placement units will expire worthless, and the restricted Class A ordinary shares will be surrendered for nil consideration to the Company. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our initial shareholders until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the converted Class A ordinary shares will be released from the lock-up if (x) the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, 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 (y) the date following the completion of our initial business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
●
With certain limited exceptions, the private placement units (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon their exercise) will not be transferable, assignable or salable by the initial purchasers or their respective permitted transferees until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Further, the restricted Class A ordinary shares will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. However, if after our initial business combination there is a transaction whereby all the outstanding Class A ordinary shares are exchanged or redeemed for cash or another issuer’s shares, then the founder shares and private placement securities shall be permitted to participate. Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our sponsor and our directors and executive officers with respect to any founder shares, private placement units, or restricted Class A ordinary shares.
●
Since our sponsor and officers and directors directly or indirectly own ordinary shares, warrants, and share rights following the Offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
26
●
Our sponsor, officers, or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination. Such loans could be convertible into private placement units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:

In addition, our sponsor or any of its affiliates may make additional investments in the Company in connection with the initial business combination, although our sponsor and its affiliates have no obligation or current intention to do so. If our sponsor or any of its affiliates elects to make additional investments, such proposed investments could influence our sponsor’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, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares held by them (and their permitted transferees will agree) and any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination (except with respect to any such public shares which may not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act and any SEC interpretations or guidance relating thereto). For a description of the rights and obligations of the non-managing sponsor members, see “Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Consummation of Our Initial Business Combination” in Item 1.
27
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Compensation of our Executive Officers and Directors
None of our officers or directors
have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Each of our independent directors indirectly own founder shares in the
Company through issuance of non-managing sponsor membership interests. However, as non-managing members, they do not take part in or interfere
in any manner with the conduct or control of the business of the sponsor nor have the right to vote on any matter relating to the sponsor,
its business or affairs. Our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers,
directors or our or their affiliates.
After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time such materials are distributed, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Clawback Policy
We have adopted a compensation recovery policy that is compliant with Nasdaq listing rules as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on our board of directors.

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 shares as of the date of this annual report, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our shares included in the units, by:
●
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding ordinary shares;
●
each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns ordinary shares; and
●
all our executive officers and directors as a group.
The table below represents beneficial ownership of our Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares and is reported in accordance with the beneficial ownership rules of the SEC under which a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security or has the right to acquire such ownership within 60 days. The table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of any outstanding warrants as no warrants are exercisable within 60 days.
The beneficial ownership of the
Company’s voting ordinary shares is based on 18,200,849 ordinary shares outstanding as of March 27, 2026.
Unless
otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares
of common stock beneficially owned by them.

With respect to before the offering, our sponsor is the record holder
of such shares. Bala Padmakumar and SPACCatalyst LLC are the managing sponsor members. SPACCatalyst LLC is managed by Soumen Das
and Miteshkumar Patel. As such, Mr. Padmakumar and SPACCatalyst LLC each have equal voting and investment discretion with respect
to the founder shares held of record by our sponsor and may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of the founder shares held
directly by our sponsor. Through their control of SPACCatalyst LLC, each of Messrs. Das and Patel may be deemed to share voting and
investment discretion with respect to such shares held indirectly by SPACCatalyst LLC. Each of SPACCatalyst LLC and Messrs. Padmakumar,
Das and Patel disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares other than to the extent they may have a pecuniary interest therein, directly
or indirectly. Other than our management team, none of the other members of our sponsor will participate in our Company’s operational
activities, and there are no other members of our sponsor other than as described above.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Related
Party Policy
We have not yet adopted a
formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed below were
not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
Prior to the closing of our initial
public offering, we adopted our Code of Ethics, requiring us to avoid conflicts of interest, wherever possible, except as may be allowed
under guidelines or resolutions approved by the board of directors (or the appropriate committee of the board), as disclosed in the Company’s
public filings with the SEC or as permitted in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Anything
that would be a conflict for a person subject to the Code of Ethics also will be a conflict if it is related to a member of his or her
family or a close relative.
Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, and that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer. To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers or directors, including (i) an entity that is either a portfolio company of, or has otherwise received a material financial investment from, any private equity fund or investment company (or an affiliate thereof) that is affiliated with any of the foregoing, (ii) an entity in which any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently passive investors, (iii) an entity in which any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently officers or directors, or (iv) an entity in which any of the foregoing or their affiliates are currently invested through an investment vehicle controlled by them, unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we are seeking to acquire, and the approval of a majority of our disinterested independent directors that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view.
Founder Shares
On June 28, 2025, our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares for an aggregate of $25,000 (or approximately $0.004 per share), up to 750,000 of which shall be surrendered to us for no consideration after the closing of the IPO on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. As a result of the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option on February 6, 2026, none of the founder shares are subject to surrender or forfeiture.
The number of founder shares was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 25% of the aggregate of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the initial public offering (excluding the private placement shares).
The initial shareholders agreed,
subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its founder shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after
the completion of the initial business combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange,
reorganization or other similar transaction after the initial business combination that results in all of the public shareholders having
the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the converted Class
A ordinary shares will be released from the lock-up if (x)the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00
per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination,
or (y) the date following the completion of the initial business combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share
exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class
A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
31
Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the initial
public offering, our sponsor and direct institutional investors purchased (a) 279,465 private placement units and (b) 768,529 restricted
Class A ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,794,650. Among the (i) 279,465 private placement units and (ii) 768,529
restricted Class A ordinary shares to be purchased by the sponsor and direct institutional investors in the private placement, (w) institutional
non-managing sponsor members indirectly hold 110,000 private placement units and 302,500 restricted Class A ordinary shares, (x) individual
non-managing sponsor members will indirectly hold 32,000 private placement units, (y) managing sponsor members will indirectly hold 87,465
private placement units and 328,529 restricted Class A ordinary shares, and (z) direct institutional investors will directly hold 50,000
private placement units and 137,500 restricted Class A ordinary shares. Subject to each direct institutional investor and each non-managing
sponsor member (through the sponsor) purchase of the private placement securities allocated to them, the sponsor (i) sold, assigned and
transferred 500,000 founder shares to the direct institutional investors for a nominal purchase price and (ii) issued Class A membership
units representing 1,500,000 founder shares to the non-managing sponsor members for a nominal purchase price. Following these issuances,
the direct institutional investors and non-managing sponsor members, in the aggregate, hold interests in 2,000,000 founder shares.
The proceeds from the sale of
the private placement units were added to the net proceeds from the Offering held in the trust account. If the Company does not complete
a business combination within 15 months from the closing of the Offering or during any Extension Period, the proceeds from the sale of
the private placement securities held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements
of applicable law), the founder shares and private placement shares will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust
account, and the private placement warrants and private placement rights will expire worthless and the restricted Class A ordinary shares
will be surrendered for nil consideration to the Company. The sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject
to limited exceptions, that the private placement units (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private
placement units) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination,
and the restricted Class A ordinary shares will not be transferable assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial
business combination.
Promissory Note
On June 28, 2025, the
sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $375,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Offering. The note was
non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the closing of the Offering. As of December 31,
2025, the Company had borrowed $217,513. On February 9, 2026, the Company repaid the note balance in full of $242,513. Borrowings
under this note are no longer available.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company
completes a business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released
to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that
a business combination does not close, 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms
of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working
Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion,
up to $1,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post business combination entity
at a price of $10.00 per units. Such units would be identical to the private placement units.
As
of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
32
Support Services
Commencing on February 9,
2026, the Company pays an amount equal to $10,000 per month to our sponsor or one of its affiliates for office space, utilities, and secretarial
and administrative support and will cease paying these monthly fees upon the earlier of the consummation of the business combination or
its liquidation.
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) founder
shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Offering, (ii) private placement units which will be issued
in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Offering and the Class A ordinary shares, private placement warrants, and
private placement rights underlying such private placement units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants and share rights,
(iii) restricted Class A ordinary shares, and (iv) private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans
and the Class A ordinary shares, private placement warrants, and private placement rights underlying such private placement units and
the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants and share rights will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration
rights agreement signed prior to or on the effective date of the Offering requiring us to register the offer and sale of such securities
for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register the offer and sale of such securities. In addition,
the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our
completion of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register the resale of such securities pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Director Independence
The 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 who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Our board has determined that each of Ms. Cuocolo, Mr. Platshon, and Mr. Ryde are independent directors under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
SPACSphere Acquisition Corp.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SPACSphere Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s deficit and cash flows for the period from June 18, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 18, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, 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, the Company has
incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans and lacks the liquidity
to sustain operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. 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
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

DECEMBER 31, 2025
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
SPACSphere Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on June 18, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with the Company. 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 June 18, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is SPACSphere Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On February 9, 2026, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), including the purchase by the underwriters of 2,250,000 additional Units at the offering price, reflecting the exercise of their option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 172,500,000 which is discussed in Note 3. Each public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (each a “Class A Ordinary Share” and collectively, the “Public Shares”), one-half of one redeemable warrant, and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination (the “Share Rights”).
Simultaneously with
consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of (a) 279,465
private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Private Placement Units”)
and (b) 768,529
restricted Class A ordinary shares, which shares shall be subject to (i) certain restrictions which only lapse upon the consummation
of the initial Business Combination and (ii) surrender for nil consideration if an initial Business Combination is not consummated
in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (each, a “Restricted Class A Ordinary
Share” and the Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares collectively with the Private Placement Units, the “Private Placement
Securities”) to our Sponsor and certain private placement investors, generating gross proceeds of $ 2,794,650 .
The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units, except that the Private Placement Units (and the underlying securities) may
not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days following the consummation
of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares are Class A ordinary shares of the
Company that have had certain voting and transfer rights contractually waived until 30 days following the consummation of the
Company’s initial Business Combination.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 14,280,684 , consisting of $ 1,293,750 of cash underwriting fee (net of $ 2,156,250 underwriters’ reimbursement), $ 12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 911,934 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 Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)
The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and any Permitted Withdrawals) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, February 9, 2026, an amount of $ 172,500,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested or held in either (i) U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, (ii) uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 (as defined in Note 3) for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this prospectus (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of Permitted Withdrawals). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants and Share Rights.
All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., warrants and Public Share Rights), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity are the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.
Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by 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, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC

prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares 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 their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides 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% or more of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or during any Extension Period (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 the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the per-share pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned thereon not previously released to the Company (such interest net of Permitted Withdrawals and less up to $ 100,000 of dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law as further described herein, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in 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, subject to the limitations described herein. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor 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. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or 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”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 6,081 in cash equivalents and $ 673,162 in working capital deficit.
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 $ 1,000,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into private units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Such private units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, 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. As of December 31, 2025, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.
The Company has since
completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in Trust Account and/or used to fund
offering expenses was released to the Company for general capital purposes. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to
continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements —
Going Concern,” the Company’s management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition,
and determined that the Company still lacks the liquidity to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered
to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty with the Business Combination.
There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful. The financial
statements does 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 are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash and $ 6,081 of cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares, warrants, and rights, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and rights and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares are charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the warrants and share rights in the Units, the Private Placement Units, and the Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares are charged to shareholder’s deficit, as the warrants and rights included in the Units and Private Placement Units, after management’s evaluation, are accounted for under equity treatment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed 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. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Share Rights
The Company will account for the Public and Private Placement Share Rights, as defined below, to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and will classify the rights under equity treatment at their assigned value.
Warrant Instruments
The Company will account
for the warrants to be issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance
contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant
instruments under equity treatment at their assigned value. There are no Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, as defined below,
outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Net Loss per Ordinary Share
Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 750,000 ordinary shares that would have been subject to forfeiture had the over-allotment option not been exercised by the underwriters (see Note 7). At December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as required for the period from June 18, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025. The adoption requires the Company to provide additional disclosures, but otherwise it does not materially impact the financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on February 9, 2026, the Company sold 17,250,000 units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, which includes a full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares (such Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrants”), and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of a Class A ordinary share (each, a “Public Share Right”) upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination (see Note 7).
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On June 28, 2025, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $ 0.0001 (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) for an aggregate price of $ 25,000 , up to 750,000 of which are subject to forfeiture (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in Note 6. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment, at any time. The initial shareholders have agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On February 6, 2026, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and direct institutional investors purchased (a) 279,465 Private Placement Units and (b) 768,529 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,794,650 in Private Placement.
The initial shareholders will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the initial business combination that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the converted Class A Ordinary Shares will be released from the lock-up if (x) if the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. However, if after the initial Business Combination there is a transaction whereby all the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares are exchanged or redeemed for cash or another issuer’s shares, then the Founder Shares shall be permitted to participate.

Support Services
Commencing on the effective date, January 30, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support and will cease paying until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or its liquidation.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per units. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Note 5 — Private Placement Units; Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares
Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 9, 2026, the Sponsor and direct institutional investors purchased an aggregate of (a) 279,465 Private Placement Units and (b) 768,529 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company, which shares shall be subject to (i) certain restrictions which only lapse upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination and (ii) surrender for nil consideration if an initial business combination is not consummated in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, at a price of $10.00 for each private placement security, generating gross proceeds of $ 2,794,650 , in a Private Placement. Among the (i) 279,465 Private Placement Units and (ii) 768,529 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares purchased by the Sponsor and direct institutional investors in the Private Placement, (w) institutional non-managing sponsor members indirectly hold 110,000 Private Placement Units and 302,500 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares, (x) individual non-managing sponsor members indirectly hold 32,000 Private Placement Units, (y) managing sponsor members indirectly hold 87,465 Private Placement Units and 328,529 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares, and (z) direct institutional investors directly hold 50,000 Private Placement Units and 137,500 Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares. Subject to each direct institutional investor and each non-managing sponsor member (through the sponsor) purchasing the Private Placement Securities allocated to them, the Sponsor has (i) sold, assigned and transferred 500,000 Founder Shares to the direct institutional investors for a nominal purchase price and (ii) issue Class A membership units representing 1,500,000 Founder Shares to the non-managing sponsor members for a nominal purchase price. Following these issuances, the direct institutional investors and non-managing sponsor members, in the aggregate, hold interests in 2,000,000 Founder Shares.

The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Securities held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), the Founder Shares (as defined above) and private placement shares will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account, and the private placement warrants and private placement rights will expire worthless and the Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares will be surrendered for nil consideration to the Company. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, that the Private Placement Units (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Units) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, and the Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares will not be transferable assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination.
Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”), and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of a Class A Ordinary Share (“Private Placement Share Right”) upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights
The holders of (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) Private Placement Units which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Class A Ordinary Shares, private placement warrants, and private placement rights underlying such Private Placement Units and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants and rights, (iii) Restricted Class A Ordinary Shares, and (iv) Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and the Class A Ordinary Shares, private placement warrants, and private placement rights underlying such Private Placement Units and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants and rights will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Class A Ordinary Shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on or before the date of the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriters’ Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 6, 2026, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option, closing on the 2,250,000 additional Units simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $ 3,450,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters paid the Company an aggregate amount of $ 2,156,250 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering as reimbursement to the Company for certain of its expenses and fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to $ 12,075,000 of deferred underwriting commissions; provided, however, that such $ 0.70 per unit shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Ordinary Shares
Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares 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, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were no Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On June 28, 2025, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares for an aggregate price of $ 25,000 , or approximately $0.004 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding.
Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law.
The Class B Ordinary Shares
will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject
to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess
of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering (including pursuant to the over-allotment option) and related to or in connection
with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares
will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect
to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary
Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 25% of the sum of the total number of all Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon the completion of the
Initial Public Offering (irrespective of whether or not such Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed in connection with the initial Business
Combination) (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the over-allotment option and excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares
underlying any units our initial shareholders may purchase in this offering and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement
Securities issued to the Sponsor) plus all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection
with the initial Business Combination (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement), excluding
any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent
shares issued to the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, members of the Company’s management team or any of their affiliates
upon conversion of working capital loans made to us, and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement.
Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares, subject
to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

Warrants
As of December 31, 2025, there were no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least two units (or additional multiples of two), you will not be able to receive or trade whole warrants. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.
The Company is registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part because the warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, which may be within one year of this offering. However, because the warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of up to five years after the completion of our initial business combination, in order to comply with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of our initial business combination, under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following our initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60) business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our 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.

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 warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):
●
in whole and not in part;
●
at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
●
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and
●
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Redemption Procedures - Anti-dilution Adjustments ”) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after completion of our initial business combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above 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 throughout the measurement period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification. The Company will use our best efforts to register or qualify such Ordinary Shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in this offering. The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its 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 adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, share consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $ 11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Class A ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments. If the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A ordinary shares, or by a subdivision of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining the price payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all the holders of Class A ordinary shares on account of such Class A ordinary shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with a proposed initial business combination, or (d) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each Class A ordinary share in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share subdivision or reclassification of Class A ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share subdivision, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Class A ordinary shares.
Whenever the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
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 our initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share, (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds (including from such issuances and this offering), and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value of our Class A ordinary shares is below $ 9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described above under “ Description of Securities - Warrants - Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 ” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A ordinary shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A ordinary shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”).

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this prospectus, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement, (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants or (iv) to provide for the delivery of the Alternative Issuance. All other modifications or amendments require the vote or written consent the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding warrants. You can review a copy of the warrant agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Class A ordinary shares. After the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
Share Rights
There were no Public Share Rights or Private Placement Share Rights outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Share Right will automatically receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, even if the holder of a Share Right redeemed all Class A ordinary shares held by it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to the pre-Business Combination activities. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a Share Right will be required to affirmatively convert its Share Rights in order to receive the one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share underlying each Share Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Share Rights in order to receive its additional Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the Share Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
The Company will not issue
fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or
otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law. As a result, holders of Share Rights must hold
Share Rights in multiples of 5 in order to receive shares for all of the Share Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company
is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and it liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account,
holders of Share Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Share Rights, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Share Rights, and the Share Rights will expire
worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Share Rights upon consummation
of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Share Rights. Accordingly,
the Share Rights may expire worthless.

The Share Right agreement provide that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against the Company arising out of or relating in any way to the Share Right agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that the Company irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. The Company will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. With respect to any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company notes, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Share Right agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of the Share Rights shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Share Right agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Share Right agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of the Share Rights, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such Share Right holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such Share Right holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such Share Right holder. This choice-of-forum provision may limit a Share Right holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Share Right agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of the management and board of directors.
Note 8 — Segment Information
Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise 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 CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.
