Risk Factors
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, 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.

We
may seek to extend the Combination Period, which could reduce the amount held in our Trust Account and have adverse effects on our Company.
If
we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination on or before August 28, 2027, we may seek shareholder approval to extend
the Combination Period by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. In such event, our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity

of which may adversely affect our ability to consummate our initial Business Combination and may also impair our ability to maintain

We
anticipate that our securities will be suspended from trading on NYSE and delisted if we do not consummate our initial Business Combination
by May 26, 2029. Any trading suspension or delisting could have a material adverse effect on the trading of our securities and may adversely
affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Our
IPO Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 26, 2026 and our securities are currently listed on NYSE. Pursuant
to our Amended and Restated Articles, we have until August 28, 2027 to consummate our initial Business Combination.
Under
the NYSE Rules, a SPAC’s NYSE-listed securities will be immediately suspended from trading if the SPAC is unable to complete its
initial Business Combination within three years of its initial listing. Were we to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend
the date by which we are permitted to consummate our initial Business Combination, we would still need to consummate our initial Business
Combination on or prior to May 26, 2029 in order to avoid a suspension of our securities from trading on and delisting from NYSE. If
NYSE were to suspend our securities from trading and delist our securities, our securities could potentially be quoted on an over-the-counter
market. Even if our securities are then quoted on an over-the-counter market, our NYSE suspension and delisting could have significant
material adverse consequences, including:
In
addition, if our securities are delisted from NYSE, trading in our securities, and offers and sales of our securities by us, may be subject
to state securities regulation and additional compliance costs.

In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain

the post-Business
