Recent Development
On April 1, 2026, the Company, announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”)
with REEcycle Holdings, Inc. (“REEcycle”).
The LOI is an expression
of mutual intent only and, except for certain specified provisions (including those relating to exclusivity, confidentiality, expenses,
governing law, and similar matters), is non-binding and does not obligate any party to consummate a transaction or to enter into a definitive
agreement.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from May 22, 2025 (inception) through MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying
a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business
Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and investments held in the Trust
Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),
as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we
had net income of $1,652,279,$1,374,238, which consists of interest and dividend income earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of
$1,857,285, $1,835,205,dividend and interest earned on investments held outside the Trust Account of $200,$2,519, which are offset by formation,
general and administrative costs of $183,126.$485,567.
For the period from May
22, 2025 (inception) through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had net income of $2,309,868,$3,679,439, which consists of interest earned on cash and
investments held in Trust Account of $2,621,482,$4,478,766, dividend and interest earned on investments held outside the Trust Account of $200,
$2,720, which are offset by formation, general and administrative costs of $311,813.$802,047.
Business Combination Agreement
As previously announced, on May 31, 2026, we entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with HCAC Star Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and REEcycle Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“REEcycle”), a rare earth elements recycling company focused on the recovery of rare earths from end-of-life magnets using innovative hydrometallurgical technique to produce market-grade rare earth oxides and salts that can feed directly into magnet alloy manufacturing. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Company will transfer by way of continuation and domesticate as a Delaware corporation, followed by Merger Sub merging with and into REEcycle, with REEcycle continuing as the surviving company.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We currently expect the Business Combination to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise
of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $207,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We
incurred a total of $13,693,607$13,598,144 in transaction costs related to the initial public offering. We paid a total of $4,140,000 in cash underwriting
discounts and commissionscommissions, consisting of $0.20 per unit sold in the base offering and $1,273,670of this amount (i) $1,800,000 was paid in cash
to the underwriters, (ii) $2,340,000 was paid in the form of private placement units and $1,178,144 in other costs and expenses related
to the initial public offering. In addition, the underwriter agreed to defer $8,280,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions,
which would be payable only upon consummation of an initial business combination.
For the period from May 22, 2025 (inception)
through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $363,507.$790,802. Net income of $2,309,868$3,679,439 was affected by interest and
dividend earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $2,621,482,$4,478,766, dividend and interest earned on investments held
outside the Trust Account of $200$2,720, payment of general and administrative costs of $781,734, and formation costs paid by Sponsor in
exchange of issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $20,313, payment of general and administrative costs of $291,500, and reclass of accrued offering costs to accrued expenses of $66,738. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $72,207 of cash for operating activities.$20,313.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the quarter resulted in an outflow of $422,628 of cash for operating activities.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
cash and investments held in Trust Account of $209,621,481$211,478,766 (including approximately $2,621,481$4,477,429 of dividend income and $1,337 of interest
earnings, earningstotaling to $4,478,766) consisting of cash and treasury bills. 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 (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt
is used, in whole or in part, as consideration 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.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash of $463,036.$35,741 outside
the Trust Account. 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 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.
We had no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of the date of the Initial Public Offering, management used valuation to determine the fair value of the Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any additional critical accounting estimates to disclose.
