Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective
of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are
also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying
Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of
our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying
Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to the existence of material
weaknesses related to the evaluation of the complex financial instruments and the incorrect conclusion on the related accounting treatment.
In light of this material weakness, we have enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable
accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our consolidated
financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult
regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no
assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating
to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our controls will not require additional review and
modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.

Control over Financial Reporting

Director
The experience of our directors
and executive officers is as follows:
Richard. J. Hendrix ,
our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since inception, is currently the founder and Managing Partner of LOMP. Founded in 2019, LOMP
is a merchant banking firm specializing in Principal Investments, SPAC Sponsorship, and Corporate Advisory. LOMP partners with founders,
sponsors, and management teams to assist companies with growth strategies and access to efficient sources of capital. Over the course
of his career, Mr. Hendrix has worked extensively with issuers and investors focused on companies in the financial services, real
estate, energy, industrial, and business and consumer services sectors. He has led dozens of initial equity offerings, raising funds for
founder-led and sponsor-backed companies. Additionally, Mr. Hendrix has considerable experience advising chief executives, boards
of directors, and large shareholders regarding corporate strategy, capital structure, and capital access. Mr. Hendrix has served
as the Chief Executive Officer of four LOMP-sponsored SPACs, including vehicles that merged with Danimer Scientific (NYSE: DNMR)
and Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ: NVTS), as further discussed below. Mr. Hendrix currently serves as the Chair of the Board
of Navitas. Mr. Hendrix has significant leadership experience in the financial industry. Prior to founding LOMP, Mr. Hendrix
served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBR & Co., or FBR (formerly NASDAQ: FBRC), a middle-market focused investment
banking and brokerage firm. He assumed that role in January 2009, and subsequently oversaw 12 strategic transactions, including six acquisitions.
Under his leadership, FBR ultimately executed a merger with B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) in 2017. Following the merger,
Mr. Hendrix served as director of B. Riley Financial. Prior to serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBR, Mr. Hendrix
was President and Chief Operating Officer for FBR’s parent company, Arlington Asset Investment Corp. (former NYSE: AAIC), where
he managed day-to-day operations for the firm, as well as served as its Chief Investment Officer. He oversaw both FBR’s carveout
from AAIC and its subsequent IPO as an independent company. Prior to his roles as President and then Chief Executive Officer, he was Head
of Investment Banking, and prior to that role headed FBR’s real estate and industrials investment banking groups. Over his tenure,
he helped to grow FBR into a leading bookrunner for initial common stock offerings for middle market U.S. companies. Prior to FBR,
Mr. Hendrix was a Managing Director in PNC Capital Markets’ investment banking group and headed PNC’s asset-backed securities
business. Mr. Hendrix is an Operating Executive at Crestview Partners, a middle-market focused private equity firm. He is also the
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RJH Management Co, a privately held investment management business. Mr. Hendrix graduated
from Miami University with a BS in Finance. We believe Mr. Hendrix is well qualified to serve as our Chairman due to his extensive operating,
investing and financial experience.
Adam J. Fishman , our
President, Chief Financial Officer and a Director since inception, is currently a Managing Partner at LOMP, where he has served as an
executive officer of three LOMP-sponsored SPACs starting with LOMP Acquisition Corp. II. Mr. Fishman joined the firm from
Jefferies LLC, where he was a Managing Director from February 2018 to November 2020 and started the firm’s Permanent Capital
Group. Mr. Fishman originated and executed SPAC transactions, including initial public offerings, assisting management in evaluating
targets for merger consideration, and structuring and executing PIPE investments to support mergers. He was also responsible for originating
and marketing pre-IPO private placements for companies across all industries. Prior to joining Jefferies, Mr. Fishman was an Executive
Vice President and Head of Institutional Brokerage at FBR & Co. (“FBR”) (formerly NASDAQ: FBRC), a middle market
focused investment banking and brokerage firm. At FBR, he led the collective Research, Sales and Trading organizations. Mr. Fishman
was responsible for relationship management for a broad range of investors such as Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, Alternative Asset Managers,
Pensions, Endowments, Insurance and Family Offices. During his tenure, FBR was a top 3 lead-left bookrunner for initial common stock offerings
for small and mid-cap companies, including late-stage private placements executed under Rule 144A and IPOs. Mr. Fishman also served
on FBR’s Commitment Committee, where he was responsible for analyzing, structuring and selling all public and private investment
offerings, and was a Named Executive Officer for FBR. As a member of the firm’s Executive Committee, Mr. Fishman was a
key contributor to the firm’s strategic vision and execution, including evaluating and executing numerous corporate acquisitions,
divestments and partnerships. Mr. Fishman began his career as an Associate Director in the New York office of CIBC World Markets.
He graduated from Brandeis University with a B.A in Sociology, cum laude. Mr. Fishman is well qualified to serve as a director due to
his extensive experience in SPAC transactions, capital markets, and public company leadership, including his service as a member of executive
management of publicly traded companies. We believe Mr. Fishman is well qualified to serve on our Board because his background in originating
and executing complex merger and financing transactions provides the Board with valuable expertise in strategic oversight, capital formation,
and corporate governance.

Ashton Hudson has served
as a member of our Board of Directors since February 2025. Since 2008, Mr. Hudson has been a Partner in Value Acquisition Fund, an
acquisition, development and asset management company. Prior to beginning his investment career, Mr. Hudson practiced law with the
firm of Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs LLP, from 1997 to 2000, where his legal practice was primarily focused on corporate finance,
mergers and acquisitions, general corporate law and securities law. Mr. Hudson previously served as a director of Forestar Group,
Inc. (NYSE: FOR), where from February 2016 to August 2019 he sat on the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees,
and as a director of the Jacksonville Electric Authority, one of the largest municipally owned utilities in the United States, where
from March 2008 to April 2013 he chaired the Audit and Finance Committees and served a two-year term as Chairman of
the Board. Since February 2020 he has served on the Florida Region board of directors of Fifth Third Bank. Until its sale to Anticimex
in February 2018, Mr. Hudson was the majority owner and Executive Chairman of Turner Pest Control, one of the largest and fastest
growing pest control providers in the United States. Mr. Hudson earned his B.S., cum laude, in business and accountancy, from
Wake Forest University. He received his J.D., magna cum laude, from the Wake Forest University School of Law, where he was a Cooke Foundation
Scholar, Articles Editor of the Law Review, member of the Moot Court Board and Order of the Coif. We believe Mr. Hudson is well qualified
to serve as a director due to his extensive operational, legal and investing experience.
Andrea Tarbox has served
as a member of our Board of Directors since February 2025. Since August 2021, Ms. Tarbox has served on the board of directors
of Solo Brands Incorporated (NYSE: DTC), and served as its interim Chief Financial Officer from December 10, 2023 until February 5,
2024. Previously, Ms. Tarbox served as CFO and a member of the board of directors for Live Oak Acquisition Corp. II, a special
purpose acquisition company (formerly NYSE: LOKB), from December 2020 until October 2021 and as Chief Financial Officer

from May 2020 until December 2020. Before that, Ms. Tarbox served as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President
of KapStone Paper & Packaging (formerly NYSE: KS), from 2007 until 2018. Previously, Ms. Tarbox held positions at various
companies, including Uniscribe Professional Services, Inc., a provider of paper-and technology-based document management solutions, Gartner
Inc., a research and advisory company, British Petroleum, p.l.c., (NYSE: BP) and Fortune Brands, Inc., a holding company with diversified
product lines. Ms. Tarbox earned a B.A. degree in Psychology from Connecticut College and an M.B.A. from the University of Rhode
Island. We believe Ms. Tarbox is well qualified to serve as a director due to her extensive accounting and financial experience, operational
background, and her significant experience in acquiring and integrating companies.
Somsak Chivavibul has
served as a member of our Board of Directors since February 2026. Mr. Chivavibul has over 25 years of experience in public company
financial management, capital markets, strategic planning, and risk oversight. Since 2018, Mr. Chivavibul has been serving as a
Director at Gift Hero, Inc., a platform offers a unified space to create and manage wish lists. From April 2017 to February 2018,
Mr. Chivavibul served as the Chief Decision Management Officer at Navient Corporation (“Navient”) and served as its
Chief Financial Officer from May 2014 to April 2017, where he oversaw all aspects of the finance functions, including accounting and
financial reporting, financial planning and analysis, treasury and capital markets, tax, and investor relations. From April 1992 to
April 2014, Mr. Chivavibul held progressively senior finance and treasury leadership roles at Sallie Mae, where he was involved in
the company’s privatization, portfolio acquisitions, capital planning during the financial crisis, and the 2014 spin-off that
created Navient. He began his career as an auditor at Ernst & Young. Mr. Chivavibul holds a bachelor’s degree in
accounting from the University of Maryland and passed the Certified Public Accountant examination. We believe Mr. Chivavibul is well
qualified to serve as a director due to his experience in public company finance leadership, SEC reporting, and direct engagement
with boards, auditors, and rating agencies.

Senior Advisor
Gary K. Wunderlich, Jr. ,
joined Pinnacle Financial Partners (NASDAQ: PNFP) in 2023 to become President and Chief Executive Officer of PNFP Capital Markets, Inc.,
the investment banking subsidiary of Pinnacle Bank, of whom will serve as our Senior Advisor. Mr. Wunderlich is responsible for growing
the firm’s M&A, debt and equity placement, syndications, and derivatives businesses.
Prior to Pinnacle, Mr. Wunderlich
was Managing Partner at LOMP, which he co-founded in 2019. Prior to LOMP, Mr. Wunderlich was the founder and Chief Executive Officer of
Wunderlich Securities, Inc. (“WSI”), a full-service investment banking and brokerage firm, from 1996 until its successful
merger in July 2017 with B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY). Following the merger, he served as a director of B. Riley Financial,
Inc. from August 2017 to July 2018 and remained Chief Executive Officer of Wunderlich (rebranded B Riley Wealth) until November of 2018.
As Chief Executive Officer of Wunderlich, Mr. Wunderlich was involved in all aspects of company growth from a virtual start-up into a
full-service investment bank. Firm-wide revenues grew to approximately $120 million in 2017. In addition to wealth management and institutional
fixed income, Mr. Wunderlich oversaw an investment banking department that was a manager or co-manager of 151 transactions raising over
$21.5 billion in proceeds for issuers in the three years prior to its merger with B Riley. WSI was ranked as one of the fastest growing
private companies in America by Inc. Magazine for several years between 2011 and 2013. In 2011, Mr. Wunderlich, along with WSI and WSI’s
Chief Compliance Officer, consented, without admitting or denying the findings therein, to the entry of an SEC order finding that, from
2007 to 2009, as WSI was converting hundreds of its existing fee-based brokerage accounts to investment advisory accounts, in response
to regulatory changes affecting certain broker-dealers that provided investment advice, WSI willfully violated the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act, and its rules by failing to have adequate written policies and procedures and a code of ethics, and
Mr. Wunderlich, who was then WSI’s Chief Executive Officer, willfully aided and abetted and caused such violations. The order also
found that WSI willfully violated the Advisers Act and its rules by overcharging advisory clients for commissions and other transactional
fees totaling approximately $120,835 in approximately 6,338 separate transactions, which the SEC stated appeared to have occurred primarily
due to back-office errors, and by engaging in principal trading without providing certain required disclosures to its clients. In connection
with the WSI/B. Riley transaction, WSI was named the respondent in a FINRA arbitration arising from WSI’s 2013 acquisition of Dominick
& Dickerman LLC’s asset management business. The arbitration panel initially ruled in favor of the claimants against WSI, and
this ruling was the subject of extensive federal court litigation before the parties ultimately settled their dispute, which is fully
and finally resolved.
Mr. Wunderlich was a member
of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) National Board of Directors. He was also a founding
board member of the American Securities Association, a trade association of regional financial services firms. He also served in various
capacities with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, including serving on the National Advisory Board, the District 5 Committee
as both a Chairman and member, and on the National Membership Council as a member. Mr. Wunderlich has for 15 years been a member of the
Young Presidents’ Organization and participates in the Family Business, Family Office, Financial Services and Entrepreneurship and
Innovation Networks. Mr. Wunderlich was also inducted into the Society of Entrepreneurs, an organization of leading Memphis area business
owners and executives, where he serves as a Director. He is also the Managing Member of Eighty Park Avenue Partners LLC, a family investment
vehicle.
Mr. Wunderlich currently serves
on the boards of the Society of Entrepreneurs, Memphis River Parks Partnership, Memphis in May International Festival, ArtsMemphis and
The Campbell Foundation, as well as on the advisory board of SIFMA. He is also a member of YPO Southern 7 Gold Chapter. Mr. Wunderlich
received a BA in economics from the University of Virginia and an MBA in finance from the University of Memphis.
Our Senior Advisor (i) assists
us in sourcing and negotiating with potential Business Combination targets and (ii) provides business insights when we assess potential
Business Combination targets. In this regard, he fulfills some of the same functions as our Board members. However, he has no written
advisory agreements with us. Our Senior Advisor indirectly owns a pecuniary interest in the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, but is
not currently party to any agreements to receive additional compensation. Our Senior Advisor is not be under any fiduciary obligations
to us, nor does he perform Board or committee functions. He is also not be required to devote any specific amount of time to our efforts
or be subject to the fiduciary requirements to which our Board members are subject. Accordingly, if our Senior Advisor becomes aware of
a Business Combination opportunity that is suitable for any of the entities to which he has fiduciary or contractual obligations (including
other blank check companies), he will honor his fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity
to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. We may modify or expand our roster of advisors as we
continue to create value in businesses that we may acquire.
46
Family Relationships
No family relationships
exist between any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings
to which any director or executive officer has been involved in the last ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or
integrity of any director or officer.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and
Directors
Our Board of Directors consists
of five members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except
for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. Prior to the closing of our initial
Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors or
continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to amend our constitutional
documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a
jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Our Public Shareholders are not entitled to vote on such matters during such time. These provisions
of our Amended and Restated Articles relating to these rights of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares may be amended by a Special Resolution
passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of our initial Business
Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed,
by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate
governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following
our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, which consists of Mr. Hudson and Mr. Chivavibul, expires at
our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, which consists of Ms. Tarbox, expires at the second
annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, which consists of Messrs. Hendrix and Fishman, expires at
the third annual general meeting.
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 officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has
established two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Each committee operates under a charter that
has been approved by our Board and has the composition and responsibilities described below.
Audit Committee
Our Board has establish the
Audit Committee. Messrs. Hudson and Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox serve as the members of our Audit Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and
applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the Audit Committee, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Hudson and
Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox are each independent.
Ms. Tarbox serves as the chairman
of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Ms.
Tarbox qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We have adopted an Audit Committee
charter, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including:
● assisting Board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial
statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s
qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting
firm; the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting

policies and procedures; reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the independent
registered public accounting firm have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
47
● setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations; obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting
firm describing (1) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material
issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent registered public accounting firm,
or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more
independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial
statements and quarterly financial statements with Management and the independent registered public accounting firm, 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;
● reviewing with Management, the independent registered public
accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with
regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial
statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other
regulatory authorities;
● advising the Board and any other Board committees if the
clawback provisions of the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement
change, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the
SEC Clawback Rule; and
● implementing and overseeing our cybersecurity and information
security policies, and periodically reviewing the policies and managing potential cybersecurity incidents.
Compensation Committee
Our Board of Directors has
established the Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Hudson and Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox. Mr.
Chivavibul serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation
committee of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. Messrs. Hudson and Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox are each independent.
We have adopted a Compensation
Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:
● reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate
goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance
in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s
based on such evaluation;
● reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors
with respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval of all of
our other officers;
● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing and administering our incentive compensation
equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting management in complying with our proxy statement
and annual report disclosure requirements;

and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;
48
● producing a report on executive compensation to be included
in our annual proxy statement;

change and perform any other tasks required of it by the Clawback Policy, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our
securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule.
The charter also provides that
the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other
adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before
engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will
consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating
committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or the Nasdaq
Rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee
for selection by our Board of Directors. Our 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 participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Hudson and Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox. In accordance
with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) 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.
The Board of Directors also
considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to
stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that
wish to nominate a director for appointment to our Board of Directors should follow the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated
Articles.
We have not formally established
any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying
and evaluating nominees for director, our Board of Directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge
of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Prior to our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination
to our Board of Directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted the Code of
Ethics. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant
any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable
SEC rules or the Nasdaq Rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our
website is not incorporated by reference into this Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references
to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.
The foregoing description of
the Code of Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Code of Ethics,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.
Trading Policies
On February 13, 2025, we adopted the Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq Rules.
The
foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and
conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
None of our executive officers
or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We are not prohibited from paying any fees (including advisory
fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us
prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, including the following payments, all of which, if
made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, from available working capital (if any):
● Repayment
of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses pursuant to
the IPO Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2024, we had borrowed $58,367 under the IPO Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2025, the
IPO Promissory Note had been paid in full and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available;
● Reimbursement
for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support made available to us by LOMP, in an amount equal to $17,500 per
month, pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred
and paid $175,000 in fees for these services. For the period ended November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we
did not incur any fees for these services;
● Payment
of consulting, success or finder fees to our Sponsor or a member of our Management Team and Senior Advisor, or their respective affiliates
in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination;
● We
may engage our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial Business Combination
and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable
transactions;
● Reimbursement
for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination; and
● Repayment
of any Working Capital Loans that may be made by our Sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors
to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans
may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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 Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025
and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital
Loans.
After the completion of our
initial Business Combination, directors or members of our Management Team and Senior Advisor who remain with us may be paid consulting
or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in
the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial Business
Combination, such as the Teamshares Registration Statement. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid
by the combined company to our directors or members of Management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the
time of the proposed initial Business Combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining
executive officer and director compensation.
Any compensation to be paid
to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the Board of Directors for determination, either by a compensation committee
constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our Board of Directors.
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 our 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.
50
For
more information on the proposed employment arrangements in connection with the Teamshares
Business Combination, see Item 1. “Business” and the Teamshares Registration Statement, once publicly filed.
Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy
On February 13, 2025, our Board
of Directors approved the adoption of the Clawback Policy in order to comply with the SEC Clawback Rule, and the Nasdaq Rules, as set
forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. At no time during the fiscal year covered by this Report were
we required to prepare an accounting restatement that required recovery of an erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback
Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 97.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets
forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 30, 2026 based on information obtained from the
persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by:
● each
person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares;
● each
of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and
● all
our executive officers and directors as a group.
In the table below, percentage
ownership is based on 28,750,000 shares of our Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 5,750,000
Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026. On all matters to be voted upon, except for (x) the appointment and
removal of directors of the Board and (y) continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, holders of the Class A
Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Only holders
of Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors prior to the completion of our initial Business
Combination and on a vote to continue our Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands. Currently, all of the Class B Ordinary
Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
Unless
otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary
Shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants
as such Private Placement Warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Report.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
In December 2024, our Sponsor
paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for 5,750,000 Founder Shares.
The number of Founder Shares
outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 23,000,000
Units if the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding
Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering. Up to 750,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to be surrender for no consideration
depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On March 3, 2025, the Underwriters exercised the 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. Our Public Shareholders may incur material dilution due to anti-dilution adjustments that result in the issuance of Class
A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion.
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we completed the private sale of 4,500,000
Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating
gross proceeds to our Company of $4,500,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long
as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary
Shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or
sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to registration rights.
Prior to or in connection with
the completion of our initial Business Combination, we may pay our Sponsor or a member of our Management Team and Senior Advisor or one
of their affiliates of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order to effectuate
the completion of our initial Business Combination, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, will be
paid from available working capital (if any).
We
reimburse LOMP, an affiliate of our Sponsor in an amount equal to $17,500 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative
support made available to us pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or
our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred
and paid $175,000 in fees for these services. For the period ended November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we
did not incur any fees for these services.
52
Prior to the closing of our
Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses
related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the completion of our Initial
Public Offering. The loan of $176,573 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on March 3, 2025. As of December
31, 2024, we had borrowed $58,367 under the IPO Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2025, the IPO Promissory Note had been paid in full
and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
We expect to fund our working
capital requirements prior to the time of our initial Business Combination from funds held outside the Trust Account. In order to fund
working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers
and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business
Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of
the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be
used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination
entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Other than as set forth above,
the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working
Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025 and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we did not have any
borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans
from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds
and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
We have until March 3, 2027
(since we have executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by December 3, 2026) or until such earlier liquidation
date as our Board of Directors may approve, to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to
consummate our initial Business Combination within such Combination Period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our Amended and
Restated Articles to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. If we seek shareholder approval for
such an extension, our Public Shareholders will be offered an opportunity to vote on the extension and to redeem their Public Shares,
regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, our initial Business Combination, at a per share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon (net of taxes payable, if any),
divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law. No redemption rights shall be offered to
our Public Shareholders in connection with any such extension from December 3, 2026 to March 3, 2027 since we have executed a definitive
agreement for an initial Business Combination by December 3, 2026.
Any of the foregoing payments
to our Sponsor or LOMP, repayments of loans from our Sponsor or repayments of Working Capital Loans prior to our initial Business Combination
will be made using working capital.
After our initial Business
Combination, members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company
with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer
materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders, such as the Teamshares Registration Statement. It is unlikely the amount of such
compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider
our initial Business Combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine
executive and director compensation.
Pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, the holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be
issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) have registration
rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them and any other securities of our Company acquired by them
prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination (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
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.
Our Sponsor, directors and
officers have also entered into the Letter Agreement, with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period. However, if our Sponsor, directors and officers acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering,
they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our
initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the
Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles (i) to modify
the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of
our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other
material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, in each case, unless we provide
our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable
in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
For
more information on the agreements entered into in connection with the Teamshares Business Combination, see Item 1. “Business”
and the Teamshares Registration Statement, once publicly filed.

Director Independence
Nasdaq Rules 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 of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Hudson and Chivavibul and Ms. Tarbox are “independent directors”
as defined in the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent
directors are present.
Item 14 . Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The following is a summary
of fees paid or to be paid to Withum.
Audit Fees
Audit fees consist of the aggregate
fees for professional services rendered for the (audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by
Withum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Withum for professional services rendered for the (i) audit of our
annual financial statements and (ii) review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other
required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December
31, 2024 totaled approximately $112,000 and $2,750, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well
as attendance at Audit Committee meetings.
Audit-Related Fees
Audit-related fees consist
of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our
financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required
by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Withum for any audit-related
fees for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.
Tax Fees
Tax
fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. We
did not pay Withum for tax services, planning or advice for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception)
through December 31, 2024.
All Other Fees
All
other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for all other services. We did not pay Withum for any other services for the year
ended December 31, 2025 and the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.
Pre-Approval Policy
Our Audit Committee was formed
upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services,
although any services rendered prior to the formation of our Audit Committee were approved by our Board of Directors. Since the formation
of our Audit Committee, and on a going-forward basis, the Audit Committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted
non-audit services performed and to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis
exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the
audit).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board
of Directors of
Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by March 3, 2027, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on November 27, 2024 . The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries, Catalyst Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation, incorporated on November 6, 2025 (“Merger Sub”), and Catalyst Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, incorporated on November 6, 2025 (“Merger Sub II”, and together with Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), which were formed solely in contemplation of the proposed Teamshares Business Combination (as defined and described below). The Merger Subs have not commenced any operations and have only nominal assets and no liabilities or contingent liabilities, nor any outstanding commitments other than in connection with the Teamshares Business Combination.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for and consummating a Business Combination, including the Teamshares Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s Sponsor is Live Oak Sponsor V LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 10, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-284207), was declared effective on February 27, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On March 3, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units of the Company at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which included the full exercise by the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”) of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) in the amount of 3,000,000 Units (the “Option Units”), at $ 10.00 per Option Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 230,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Public Warrants”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 4,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,500,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share.
The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) and taxes payable, if any).
Transaction costs amounted to $ 7,723,148 , consisting of $ 250,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $ 6,900,000 and $ 573,148 of other offering costs.
The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account, if any) 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2025
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on March 3, 2025, an amount of $ 231,150,000 ($ 10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee and are initially held in cash, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested in U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, that invest only in direct Treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on Management’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the potential status of the Company under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may only be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, and any such withdrawals can only be made from interest and not from the principal held in the Trust Account.
The proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by March 3, 2027 (since the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by December 3, 2026), as may be extended by shareholder approval to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination) or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve (the “Combination Period”)), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (x) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (y) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations of applicable law and the Amended and Restated Articles. As of December 31, 2025, the amount of the Trust Account was $ 10.39 per Public Share.
The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity at the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated February 27, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination (except that any Public Shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction).
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.05 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.05 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less income taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy those obligations.
Teamshares Merger Agreement
On November 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Teamshares Merger Agreement”), with (i) the Merger Subs, (iii) Teamshares Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Teamshares”), (iv) the Sponsor, from and after the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Teamshares Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Teamshares Business Combination”), solely in its capacity as representative for the Company’s shareholders (other than the Teamshares security holders and their respective successors and assigns) for the limited purposes set forth in the Teamshares Merger Agreement and (v) Brian Gaebe, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Closing of the Earnout Participants (as defined in the Teamshares Merger Agreement) and their respective successors and assignees in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Teamshares is a tech-enabled acquiror of high-quality businesses, intending to be a permanent home for businesses. Part holding company, part financial technology, Teamshares programmatically acquires companies with $ 0.5 to $ 5 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization from retiring owners, integrates them with the Teamshares platform, and helps employees earn company stock. Founded in 2019, Teamshares operates subsidiaries with consolidated revenue of over $ 400 million across over 40 industries and 30 states.
Pursuant to the Teamshares Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing, the Company will continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), (ii) at the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Teamshares (the “First Merger”) with Teamshares surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Corporation”) and (iii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”) and as a result of which (a) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Teamshares as of immediately prior to the First Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, in exchange for the right of each Teamshares stockholder to receive its pro rata share of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (as defined below) and each Earnout Participant to receive their Earnout Shares (as defined in the Teamshares Merger Agreement)and (b) the in-the-money Teamshares options shall be assumed (with equitable adjustments to the number and exercise price of such Teamshares options) and replaced with options exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Teamshares Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

LIVE OAK ACQUISITION CORP. V
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Teamshares Merger Agreement provides that the total consideration received by the Teamshares security holders from the Company at the Closing will be a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate value equal to the sum of (i) Five Hundred and Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($ 525,000,000 ) plus (ii) the Interim Period Financing (as defined in the Teamshares Merger Agreement), if any, that has converted into Teamshares common stock, (the “Merger Consideration”), with each share of the Company’s common stock valued at $ 10.00 (with the total portion of the Merger Consideration amount payable to all Teamshares stockholders in accordance with the Teamshares Merger Agreement, the “Stockholder Merger Consideration”). All Teamshares warrants, convertible debt, underwater options and other convertible securities outstanding and not exercised or converted prior to the Closing will be terminated as of the Closing.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,329,433 . The Company uses the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination, including the Teamshares Business Combination.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its officers, directors or their affiliates, However, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern, the Company has until March 3, 2027 (since the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by December 3, 2026) to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to consummate a Business Combination prior to March 3, 2027 (since the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by December 3, 2026). No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated 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 (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that, when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the accompanying consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash. The Company had $ 1,329,433 and $ 0 in cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of cash and Treasury securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in Treasury securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of Treasury securities, the investments are classified as trading securities, which are presented at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account of $ 239,042,295 were held in money market funds. As of December 31, 2024, there were no assets held in the Trust Account.

LIVE OAK ACQUISITION CORP. V
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Periodically, the Company may maintain deposits in financial institutions in excess of government insured limits. 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.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Accounting for Offering Costs”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. After Management’s evaluation, the Warrants were accounted for under equity treatment.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 7,723,148 , consisting of $ 250,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $ 6,900,000 and $ 573,148 of other offering costs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the accompanying consolidated financial statements 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.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the accompanying consolidated financial statements 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. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for the Warrants 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” (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the Warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.
As of March 3, 2025, the fair value of the Public Warrants was $ 2,185,000 , or $ 0.19 per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ equity (deficit) and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:
March 3,
2025
Implied Class A Ordinary Share price $ 9.91
Exercise price $ 11.50
Simulation term (years) 7
Risk-free rate (continuous) 4.02 %
Selected volatility 2.5 %
Probability of de-SPAC and market adjustment 15.0 %
PIPE Subscription Agreements Liability
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Teamshares Merger Agreement, certain investors each entered into a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) subscription agreement (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with the Company in connection with the proposed Teamshares Business Combination. The Company accounts for each PIPE Subscription Agreement as a derivative instrument in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”). The instrument is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the PIPE Subscription Agreements liability was $15,274,088 and $0, respectively.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classifies Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and an accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
Gross proceeds $ 230,000,000
Less:
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants ( 2,185,000 )
Class A Ordinary Shares issuance costs ( 7,638,884 )
Plus:
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value 18,866,179
Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 $ 239,042,295
Net Loss per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of Ordinary Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5). Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of Ordinary Shares. This presentation assumes a Business Combination as the most likely outcome. Net loss per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASC 2024-03”), requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option of 3,000,000 Option Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,500,000 . 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On December 20, 2024, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share, by payment of offering costs on the Company’s behalf, for which the Company issued 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”). Up to 750,000 of the Founder Shares could have been surrendered by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On March 3, 2025, the Underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, those 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in the Private Placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,500,000 . Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements as the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.
IPO Promissory Note — Related Party
The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on the date of the Initial Public Offering from the proceeds of the $ 1,000,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated to the payment of offering expenses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has repaid the Sponsor the outstanding balance of $ 176,573 under the IPO Promissory Note borrowings. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on February 28, 2025, and until the completion of the Business Combination or liquidation, the Company reimburses an affiliate of the Sponsor, $ 17,500 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. For the year ended December 31, 2025, The Company incurred and paid $ 175,000 in fees for these services. For the period ended November 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel, Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) have registration rights to require the Company to register for resale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated February 27, 2025, which the Company entered into with the Sponsor and the other signatories thereto. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriters had a 45 -day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 3, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Option Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Option Unit.
The Underwriters were paid a commission of $ 250,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
The Underwriters are also entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $ 6,900,000 ( 3.0 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account) upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, dated February 24, 2025 (the “Deferred Fee”), but such Deferred Fee shall be based partly on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company had agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for certain out-of-pocket costs for the Initial Public Offering up to an aggregate reimbursement allowance of $ 35,000 for legal fees related to the review by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Advisory Fee
In addition to the Deferred Fee, the Company engaged Santander US Capital Markets LLC, the representative of the Underwriters (the “Representative”), to provide advisory services from time to time. As compensation for the services provided under an engagement letter, the Company shall pay the Representative a fee equal to 3.00 % of the gross proceeds raised in the Initial Public Offering, payable upon closing of such initial Business Combination (the “Advisory Fee”). The Company has agreed to indemnify the Representative and its affiliates in connection with its role in providing the advisory services. The termination clause in the engagement letter deems the Advisory Fee earned and recordable as of December 31, 2025, and $ 6,900,000 has been recorded as deferred advisory fee on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
PIPE Subscription Agreements
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Teamshares Merger Agreement, certain investors each entered into the PIPE Subscription Agreements with the Company in connection with the proposed Teamshares Business Combination. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, such investors committed to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $ 9.20 per share, subject to customary closing conditions. The PIPE investment is expected to close concurrently with the consummation of the Teamshares Business Combination.
The Company accounts for each PIPE Subscription Agreement as a derivative instrument in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40. The instrument is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the PIPE Subscription Agreements liability was $ 15,274,088 and $ 0 , respectively.

Fee Letter Agreement
In connection with the proposed Teamshares Business Combination, on December 24, 2025 the Company entered into a fee letter agreement pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay a closing fee of $ 1,000,000 to the lenders in connection with a credit agreement entered into by Teamshares, if a forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) is entered into by the termination date (the “Fee Letter Agreement”). If an FPA is not entered into by the termination date the fee payable to lenders would increase to $ 5,000,000 . The Fee Letter Agreement was analyzed under ASC 815 and concluded that the Sponsor Compensation (as defined under the Fee Letter Agreement) obligation must be accounted for as a liability, measured at fair value with changes recognized in earnings, because equity classification under ASC 815-40 is explicitly precluded. The Company assessed the value of the Fee Letter Agreement and determined it to be immaterial to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and as such, no liability or expense has been recorded in connection with the Fee Letter Agreement as of December 31, 2025.
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no Class A Ordinary Shares issued or outstanding, excluding the 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $ 0.0001 each. On December 20, 2024, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor for $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.004 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20.00 % of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercises of the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), plus (ii) all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Public Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50 % of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90 % (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.

Warrants
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 16,000,000 Warrants outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 4,500,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying such Unit.
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated February 27, 2025 that the Company entered into with Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60 th ) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Class A Ordinary Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; 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 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Public Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon 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 (x) the Company issues additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A Ordinary Share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds (including from such issuances and the Initial Public Offering), and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) 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 will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company classifies its securities in the Trust Account that are invested in funds, such as Mutual Funds or Money Market Funds, that primarily invest in Treasury and equivalent securities as Trading Securities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments–Debt and Equity Securities”. Trading Securities are recorded at fair market value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in the Company’s financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Therefore, the Company has one reportable segment.

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income (loss) and total assets, which include the following:
December 31,

General and administrative costs $ 2,213,588 $ 18,571
Interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account $ 7,892,295 $ —
The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 27, 2025 which the Company entered into with Continental, as trustee of the Trust Account.
General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net loss are reported on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the accompanying consolidated balance sheets date up to the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as set forth below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
On February 25, 2026, the Board appointed Somsak Chivavibul as a Class I director of the Board, effective immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Chivavibul qualifies as an independent director and appointed him to serve as a member of the Audit Committee and the chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board. In connection with the appointment, the Company entered into a joinder to the Letter Agreement with Mr. Chivavibul, as well as an indemnification agreement, which are substantially similar to those entered into by the Company’s current officers and directors.
