As a smaller reporting company
under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in the Report. However, for
detailed descriptions of
the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement and
Statement.(ii) 2026 First Quarter For 10-Q. As of the date of the Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors, other than as set forthfactors.
below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material
adverse effect on our results of operations or
financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate
an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or
disclose additional risk factors from time to time in
our future filings with the SEC.
Our search for an initial Business Combination,
and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected
by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East between United States,
Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.
Our ability to find a potential target business and
the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected by events that
are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced and may continue to experience volatility
and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent conflict in the
Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities between the United States, Israel
and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum products and related commodities,
with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European
Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and
entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid
or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts,
including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number
of nations.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation
of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and the resulting measures
that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel
and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and
global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts and geopolitical turmoil are highly unpredictable, they could
lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain
interruptions, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally,
any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity
in capital markets.
Similarly, other events outside of our control, including
natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may arise from time to time, and
any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have disproportionate impacts to certain industries
or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply chain), and may adversely affect the global economy
or capital markets.
Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative
impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation
of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions
or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately
consummate an initial Business Combination.
The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts,
resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or
new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale
or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities.
Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening
many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period
of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately
consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction
may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted by these and other events, including as a result
of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between
the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased
volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies,
which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East,
and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect
the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or
international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a Business Combination
target and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms, or at all.

Following
the closing of
the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, thean amount of $299,000,000, comprised of $298,825,000 of the net proceeds
from the Initial
Public Offering (which amount includes up to $3,000,000 of the Deferred Fee, which amount may be reduced to $850,000
in certain circumstances,
pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement) and $175,000 of the proceeds of the Private Placement
was initially placed
in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement,
the Trust Account
may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act
with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund
selected by
us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii)
as uninvested
cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets
assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion
of the
Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
We
have neither engaged in
any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since August 15, 2025 (inception) through
March 31,June 30, 2026 have been
(i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying
and evaluating prospective
acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate
any operating revenues
until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form
of interest income on investments
held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as
a result of being a public company
(for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as
for due diligence expenses.
For
the three months ended

in the Trust Account

held in the Trust Account of $1,572,506$4,230,189 and compensation expense of $964,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used
$324,445 $459,806
of cash for operating activities.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $300,572,506$302,230,189 (including approximately $1,572,506$3,230,189 of interest income). We may withdraw
interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including
any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and exclude the Deferred

to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the
operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
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 trusteeContinental 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.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
cash held outside of the Trust Account of $237,175.$1,131,577. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate
target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar
locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective
target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
Our liquidity needs
through February 5, 2026 were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our
Founder Shares and (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. Following
the Initial Public Offering, and the Private Placement, our liquidity needs through March 31, 2026 have been satisfied
through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement held outside of the Trust
Account.
In order to fund working
capital capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and
directors 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, Combination,
we intend to 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 will
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 $1.50 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December
31, 31,
2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.
Commencing
on February 4,
2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse OJJA II, LLC, an affiliate
of the Sponsor,
$10,000 per month for administrative and shared personnel support services pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement.
For the three
and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we incurred and paid $20,000$30,000 and $50,000, respectively, in fees for these services.
The preparation of the unaudited
condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in thethis Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” in conformity
with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed financial statements. These accounting estimates
estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases
its estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form
the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs
from the
assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in thethis Report under Item 1. “Financial
Statements” could be materially affected. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have identified two critical accounting estimates as it relates
to the Public Warrants and transfer of Founder Shares as reflected in the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included
included in thethis Report under Item 1. “Financial StatementsStatements.”.
Management does not believe
that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the unaudited condensedour financial statements and notes thereto included in thethis Report under Item 1. “Financial StatementsStatements.”.
