In addition, our Board of Directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future.

(e) Performance Graph As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by Regulation S-K Item 201(e).

Of those 495,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 300,000 Private Placement Units and CCM purchased 195,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. (g) Use of Proceeds On December 15, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Public Units, including 2,250,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Right, with each whole Public Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. 33 The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $172,500,000. CCM acted as sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters. On December 15, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 495,000 Private Placement Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, to our Sponsor, Twelve Seas Sponsor LLC, and CCM generating gross proceeds of $4,950,000. Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering, a total of $172,500,000 comprised of $168,975,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (which amount includes $6,900,000 of the Deferred Fee) and $3,525,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placement, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by Continental, as trustee, solely (i) in the United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less (ii) in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by the Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. The remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are held outside the Trust Account. Such funds are being used primarily to enable us to identify a target and to negotiate and consummate our initial Business Combination . There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time. (h) Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by the Report.
