References to the “Company,” “CAC,” “us,” “our,” or “we” refer to Columbus Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes herein.
Proposed Transactions
On November 9, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”) with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Pubco”), WISeSat Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), WISeSat.Space Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Target”), and WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a Swiss company (together with its successors, including after its anticipated domestication to the British Virgin Islands prior to the Closing, the “Seller”). Pursuant to the BCA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), CAC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco; and each issued and outstanding CAC Security (as defined in the BCA) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined in the BCA) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares. Following the Merger, the Seller may distribute up to 10% of its Pubco shares to its own shareholders at its discretion. The transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Ancillary Documents are referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
The Transactions will be submitted to shareholders of the Company for approval at an extraordinary general meeting. Pubco, together with the Company, will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 (the “Business Combination Proxy Statement”) in connection with the proposed Transactions. On December 29, 2025, CAC and WISeKey International Holding AG jointly announced the confidential submission of a draft of the Business Combination Proxy Statement by Pubco with the SEC on December 23, 2025. Pursuant to the Company’s Charter, the Company currently has until January 22, 2027 to complete the Transactions, if fully extended.
Share Exchange Consideration
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, in full payment for the Company Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Seller the Exchange Shares with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000), plus (ii) the amount of any Transaction Financing (as defined in the BCA) that is made into the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00). The Exchange Shares will be allocated between Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Class F Shares in proportion to the number of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Class F Shares owned by Seller at the time of the Share Exchange.
The Pubco Class F Shares shall, in the aggregate, be entitled to 49.9% of the total vote on any matter voted on by the holders of Pubco Shares, and the Pubco Class F Shares will automatically convert into Pubco Ordinary Shares upon certain transfers in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents.
Treatment of CAC Securities; Merger Consideration
Pursuant to the BCA, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Unit shall be automatically detached, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one CAC Ordinary Share and one CAC Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable CAC Unit (the “Unit Separation”); (b) immediately prior to the Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, each issued and outstanding CAC Right (including the CAC Rights held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall be automatically converted into one-seventh of one CAC Ordinary Share; (c) at the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Ordinary Share (including each CAC Ordinary Share converted from CAC Rights pursuant to (b) above and each CAC Ordinary Share held as a result of the Unit Separation, other than the Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares and the Redeemed Shares (each as defined in the BCA)) shall become and be converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all CAC Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, all Merger Sub Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding issued shares of the Surviving Company.
In connection with the execution of the BCA, the relevant parties entered into the Sponsor Agreement the Insider Letter Amendment and Lock-up Agreement accordingly.
On January 16, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) that the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which provided that the Company has until January 22, 2026 to complete a business combination, be deleted in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended Charter”) to provide that the Company has until January 22, 2026 to complete a business combination, and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to twelve times, each by an additional one-month extension (the “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to twelve months to January 22, 2027. In order to effectuate each Monthly Extensions, $50,000 needs to be deposited into the Trust Account of the Company (the “Monthly Extension Fee”).
On January 16, 2026, the Company and the Trustee entered into the amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated January 22, 2025 ( as amended, the “Trust Agreement”) upon the shareholders’ approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting, which provides that that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Trust Account by the prescribed timeline as provided in the Company’s Amended Charter.
In connection with the votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal, 3,449,851 Ordinary Shares of the Company were rendered for redemption, and approximately $35.82 million was released from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming shareholders.
Extensions
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has until March 22, 2026 to complete its initial business combination (or up to January 22, 2027 if fully extended). A total of $100,000 Monthly Extension Fees were deposited into the Trust Account of the Company, among which $50,000 were paid by the Company from its working capital and $50,000 were paid by the Target pursuant to the BCA.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $1,285,090, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $2,231,602 offset by general and administrative expenses of $946,512. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $302,102 of cash for operating activities.
As
of December 31, 2024,2025, we
had no$483,756 in cash and a working capital deficit of $252,128. Upon completion of the IPO, $1,007,756 was held outside
of the Trust Account. We$179,238.We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the
funds held in the Trust Account,
to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that
our share capital is used in
whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held
in the Trust Account as well
as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target
business. Such working
capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations,
for strategic
acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay
any operating
expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the
funds available
to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company currently has no commitments to receive such financing and there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital will be successful. In addition, the Company has until March 22, 2026 to complete its initial business combination (or up to January 22, 2027 if fully extended) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards “Codification Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, along with the need to receive additional financing, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
Over the next 12 months (assuming
a business combination is not consummated prior thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying
and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and
from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements
of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business
combination.
If our estimates of the costs
of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do
so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate
environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we
may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem
a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would
only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business
combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
We
have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction
costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to
meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient
funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing
either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion
of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of
Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its
Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated
to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet
the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, 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.
The
Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. Management plans to address
this uncertainty are through seeking new financing to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated
by the end of the Combination Period, currently January 22, 2026, and the Combination Period is not extended, there will be a
mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company, which also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the
Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination
before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any
Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
In November 2023, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure
of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which
enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Management
does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

Nasdaq Notifications
Nasdaq Minimum Holders Requirement
On May 22, 2026, the Company received written notice (the “Minimum Holders Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company no longer complies with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5450 (a)(2) (the “Minimum Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 400 holders for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Minimum Holders Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq.
The Minimum Holders Notice states that the Company has 45 calendar days, or until July 6, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule. On July 2, 2026, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s compliance plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to180 calendar days from the date of the Minimum Holders Notice to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
Nasdaq Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement
On the same day, the Company received written notice (the “MVLS Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) for the Company was below the $50 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Rule”). The MVLS Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until November 18, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Company must be at least $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. On May 28, 2026, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Staff has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from May 13, 2026 to May 27, 2026, the Company’s MVLS has been $50 million or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the MVLS Rule and the Staff has indicated that the matter is now closed.
Initial
Public Offering
On
January 24, 2025, we consummated our IPO of 6,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001
par value per share (the “Ordinary Share”), and one right (the “Rights”) to receive one-seventh of one ordinary
Share upon the completion of the initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
total gross proceeds of $60,000,000. On January 24, 2025, substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private
sale (the “Private Placement”) of 234,290 units (the “Private Units”) to our sponsor, Hercules Capital Management
VII Corp (the “Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Initial Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,342,900.
In connection with the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units, the proceeds of $60,000,000 from the proceeds of
the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units were placed in the Trust Account (as defined below).
In
connection with the IPO, the Company issued a total of 210,000 Ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) to A.G.P./Alliance
Global Partners, the representative of the underwriters of the IPO. The Representative Shares are identical to the Ordinary Shares included
in the Units, except that the Representative has agreed not to transfer, assign, sell, pledge, or hypothecate any such Representative
Shares, or subject such Representative Shares to hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic
disposition of the securities by any person until 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the IPO pursuant to FINRA
Rule 5110(e)(1), subject to exceptions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). The Representative has agreed to (i) vote for at a shareholder
meeting of the Company to approve a business combination or any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a
business combination, (ii) waive the redemption rights until the completion of the business combination, in connection with the completion
of the Company’s initial business combination or a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemptions in connection
with a business combination, and (iii) waive the rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative
Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed timeline as provided in the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to the extent such Representative Shares held by the Representative and/or
its designees, and any of their permitted transferees.
The
proceeds of $60,000,000 from the IPO and the sales of Private Units, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
acting as trustee.
Our
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are
held outside of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating
a business combination and working capital.
Since
our IPO, our sole business activity has been identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We presently have
no revenue and have had losses since inception from incurring general and administrative expenses. We have relied upon the sale of our
securities and loans from the Sponsor to fund our operations.
On
March 17, 2025, the Ordinary Shares and Rights commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols
“COLA” and “COLAR,” respectively. Public Units not separated continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “COLAU.”
Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Public Units into Ordinary Shares and Rights.
Proposed
Transactions
On
November 9, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “BCA”) with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Pubco”),
WISeSat Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), WISeSat.Space
Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Target”), and WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a Swiss company
(together with its successors, including after its anticipated domestication to the British Virgin Islands prior to the Closing, the
“Seller”). Pursuant to the BCA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), CAC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco; and each issued and outstanding
CAC Security (as defined in the BCA) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined in the BCA) shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares. Following
the Merger, the Seller may distribute up to 10% of its Pubco shares to its own shareholders at its discretion. The transactions contemplated
by the BCA and the Ancillary Documents are referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
The
Transactions will be submitted to shareholders of the Company for approval at an extraordinary general meeting. Pubco, together with
the Company, will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 (the
“Business Combination Proxy Statement”) in connection with the proposed Transactions. On December 29, 2025, CAC and
WISeKey International Holding AG jointly announced the confidential submission of a draft of the Business Combination Proxy Statement
by Pubco with the SEC on December 23, 2025. Pursuant to the Company’s Charter, the Company currently has until January 22,
2027 to complete the Transactions, if fully extended.
Share
Exchange Consideration
Immediately
prior to the Effective Time, in full payment for the Company Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Seller the Exchange Shares
with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000),
plus (ii) the amount of any Transaction Financing (as defined in the BCA) that is made into the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to
the Closing, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00). The Exchange Shares will be allocated between Pubco
Ordinary Shares and Pubco Class F Shares in proportion to the number of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Class F Shares owned by Seller
at the time of the Share Exchange.
The
Pubco Class F Shares shall, in the aggregate, be entitled to 49.9% of the total vote on any matter voted on by the holders of Pubco Shares,
and the Pubco Class F Shares will automatically convert into Pubco Ordinary Shares upon certain transfers in accordance with the Company
Organizational Documents.
Treatment
of CAC Securities; Merger Consideration
Pursuant
to the BCA, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Unit shall be automatically detached, and the
holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one CAC Ordinary Share and one CAC Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable CAC Unit
(the “Unit Separation”); (b) immediately prior to the Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, each
issued and outstanding CAC Right (including the CAC Rights held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall be automatically converted
into one-seventh of one CAC Ordinary Share; (c) at the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Ordinary Share (including each
CAC Ordinary Share converted from CAC Rights pursuant to (b) above and each CAC Ordinary Share held as a result of the Unit Separation,
other than the Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares and the Redeemed Shares (each as defined in the BCA)) shall become and be converted
automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all CAC Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding
and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.
At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, all Merger Sub Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be converted into an equal number ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as
the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding issued shares of the Surviving Company.
Sponsor
Agreement
Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of the BCA, CAC, the Target, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into a sponsor agreement (the “Sponsor

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance under ASC 270 and reorganizes interim disclosure requirements into a centralized framework. The amendments also introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose material events and changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-11 will have on its condensed financial statements and related disclosures.
