Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 19, 2022, for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from April 19, 2022 (inception) through March 31, 2026, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of dividends on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net income of $1,332,797, which consists of dividends earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,613,958 partially offset by general and administrative costs of $281,161.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $1,483,074, which consists of dividends earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,830,482 partially offset by general and administrative costs of $347,408.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of our ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Former Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor.

On December 24, 2024, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Units which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,250,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,075,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC, the representative of the underwriters (“BTIG”), generating gross proceeds of $7,075,000, which is described in Note 5.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on December 24, 2024, an amount of $174,225,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the trust account.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $305,157. Net income of $1,332,797 was impacted by dividends earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,613,958. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $23,996.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $231,574. Net income of $1,483,074 was impacted by dividends earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,830,482. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $115,834.
As of March 31, 2026, we had marketable securities of $183,271,269 held in the trust account. Through March 31, 2026, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the trust account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing dividends and interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable, if any), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $24,630 in cash. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amounts were borrowed under the Working Capital Loan program. On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing promissory note with the Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $2,000,000. The loan on the promissory note is due upon the closing of a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $500,000 and $200,000, respectively, borrowed under this promissory note.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in excess of amounts available under the August 8, 2025 promissory note or amounts that may be available under any Working Capital Loans in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $24,630 and a working capital deficit of $785,769. If the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate the business prior to completing a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because

the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
The Company has until June 24, 2026, to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity issues and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination by the end of the Completion Window, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 24, 2026.
The Company’s plan to deal with the uncertainty is to complete a Business Combination prior to June 24, 2026 and to receive working capital from its Sponsor. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination or to receive working capital from the Sponsor will be successful. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay its Sponsor a fee of approximately $10,000 per month for administrative and support services and the deferred underwriting fee.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters or other FINRA members that assist the Company in consummating an initial business combination at the Company’s and the Sponsor’s discretion from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
