As a smaller reporting company
under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for
detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our IPO Registration
Statement. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors.
factors, other than as set forth 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.
The share price of the post-Business Combination company may be less than the Redemption Price (as defined below) of our Public Shares.
Each Public Unit sold in our Initial Public Offering at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-tenth of one Public Warrant. Of the proceeds we received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $414,000,000 was placed in our Trust Account. We will provide our Public Shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, and potentially upon the occurrence of certain other events prior to our initial Business Combination. We expect that the pro rata redemption price in any redemption will be approximately $10.04 per Public Share as of June 30, 2026 (before taxes payable, if any, and such amount, the “Redemption Price”), representing a pro rata portion of our Trust Account without taking into account any interest or other income earned on such funds (less any withdrawals from such interest or income for taxes paid), although the Redemption Price may be less in certain circumstances. As a result, Public Shareholders who own our Public Shares on a redemption date can anticipate receiving the Redemption Price in connection with a redemption for each Public Share that they choose to redeem.
There can be no assurance that, after our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders would be able to sell their shares in the post-Business Combination company for the Redemption Price, or any higher price. We have not, as yet, identified a target and are therefore unable to provide any assurances as to its financial condition, business prospects or potential risks. It is therefore possible that the share price of the post-Business Combination company may decline below the Redemption Price. In recent years, the share prices of many post-Business Combination companies have fallen following a Business Combination. As a result, if our Public Shareholders continue to hold shares in the post-Business Combination company following our initial Business Combination, we cannot assure our shareholders that the trading price of such shares will be greater than the Redemption Price.
Certain agreements related to the Initial Public Offering may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval.
Certain of the agreements related to the Initial Public Offering to which we are a party may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval. Such agreements include the (i) Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the Letter Agreement, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement and (iv) the Administrative Support Agreement. These agreements contain various provisions that our Public Shareholders might deem to be material. For example, our Letter Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement contain certain lock-up provisions with respect to the Founder Shares and other securities held by our Sponsor, officers and directors, subject to certain exceptions. Amendments or waivers to such agreements would require the consent of the applicable parties thereto and, in certain cases, the consent of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering. Any such modification, such as an amendment to shorten lock-up restrictions, may benefit our Sponsor, officers and/or directors. Any such amendments would not require approval from our shareholders, may result in the completion of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible, and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. For example, although we would not amend lock-up provisions to permit securities held by our Sponsor to be freely sold prior to our initial Business Combination, we may amend such provisions to permit them to be freely sold after the Business Combination earlier than they would otherwise be permitted, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.

TheCompany does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination.

any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form

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.

Our liquidity needs through
March 31,April 29, 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 June 30, 2026 have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of
the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2026, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of $215,162.
Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

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 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.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $578,224. We intend to use the funds
held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target
businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants,plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or
owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business
Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.
Additionally, to fund working capital, the Company has Permitted Withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $1,000,000 for working capital. These Permitted Withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit into the Trust Account at the Initial Public Offering. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not withdraw any amounts from the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2026 the Company had $1,000,000 available for Permitted Withdrawals for working capital for the period from April 29, 2026 until April 29, 2027, which is the 1-year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering.
Prior to the completion of
the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement and the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company lacked the liquidity
it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance
with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - —Going Concern,” subsequent to the period covered by this
Quarterly Report, the Company has completed the Initial Public Offering, Private Placement and the full exercise of the Over-Allotment
Option, and the capital in excess of the funds deposited in Trust Account and used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company
for general capital purposes. The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required
for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available
to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business
Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within
one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Prior to the closing of our
Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $600,000 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 earlier of December 31, 2026,
or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $70,047
$0 and $4,503, respectively, under the IPO Promissory Note. The loan of $285,138 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public
Offering on April 29, 2026. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.
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 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 units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price
of $10.00 per unit. Such units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities).
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.
Commencing on April 28, 2026,

The
preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this 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 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 this Report under Item 1. “Financial
Statements” could be materially affected. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates
