As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, HCIC had cash of $805,607.$654,636. HCIC intends 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 an initial Business Combination and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the Trust Account is not sufficient to pay HCIC’s income taxes. In addition, HCIC may pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist it with its search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial Business Combination, although HCIC does not have any current intention to do so. If HCIC entered into an agreement where it paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific proposed initial Business Combination and the amount of HCIC’s available funds at the time. HCIC’s forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of its breach or otherwise) could result in its not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.
