“As of December 31, 2025, we had $ $1,434,965 in our operating bank account and working capital of $248,591. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our finance and acquisition plans, including the consummation of a business combination. We have until October 25, 2026, to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by then, we may, however, elect to seek to extend the time period during which we may consummate a business combination consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. …”see in full comparison

At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If a large number of shares are submitted for redemption, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account or arrange for additional third party financing. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels (for more information on additional financings, also see “—We may issue additional Class A ordinary shares or preference shares to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination. We may also issue Class A ordinary shares upon the conversion of the founder shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks,” “—We may issue shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price which is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and add costs,” “—We may issue notes or other debt, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a business combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our shareholders’ investment in us,” and “—We may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per public share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account.”). Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the Class B ordinary shares results in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination. The effect of this dilution will be greater for shareholders who do not redeem. In addition, the amount of the deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriter will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. We may not be able to generate sufficient value from the completion of our initial business combination in order to overcome the dilutive impact of these and other factors, and, accordingly, you may incur a net loss on your investment. Please see “ —The nominal purchase price paid by our sponsor for the founder shares may significantly dilute the implied value of your public shares in the event we consummate an initial business combination, and our sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares to materially decline.” The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure. The amount of the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriters will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The per-share amount we will distribute to shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission and after such redemptions, the amount held in trust will continue to reflect our obligation to pay the entire deferred underwriting commissions.
While the implied value of our public shares may be
diluted, the implied value of approximately $7.81 per share would represent a significant implied profit for our sponsor relative to the initial purchase price of the founder shares. Our sponsor invested an aggregate of $5,864,810 in us in
connection with our initial public offering, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the founder shares and the $5,839,810 purchase price for the private placement units. At $7.81 per share, the 4,799,758 founder shares would have an aggregate
implied value of $37,486,109.98 and the 583,981 private placement units would have an implied value of $4,560,891.61. As a result, even if the trading price of our public units or Class A ordinary shares
significantly declines, our sponsor will stand to make significant profit on its investment in us. In addition, our sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment in us, assuming it retains after closing of our initial business combination
4,799,758 Class A ordinary shares with respect to its 4,799,758 founder shares and 583,981 private placement units, even if the trading price of our public units or Class A ordinary shares were as low as approximately $1.09 per share. As a
result, our sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us even if we select and consummate an initial business combination that causes the trading price of our public units or Class A ordinary shares to decline, while
our public shareholders who purchased their units in our initial public offering could lose significant value in their securities. Our sponsor may therefore be economically incentivized to consummate an initial business combination with a riskier,
weaker-performing or less-established target business than would be the case if our sponsor had paid the same per shareper-share price for the founder shares as our public shareholders paid for their public shares.
Our search for a business combination, and any target
business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including the emergence of new variants thereof, or
other infectious diseases that could result in a widespread health crisis.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a “pandemic.” The COVID-19 pandemic resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that may
adversely affect economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination may also be materially and adversely affected.
Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a business combination if concerns relating to COVID-19 reemerge
or new variants of the COVID-19 virus restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are
unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner, or if COVID-19, new variants thereof or other infectious diseases cause a prolonged economic downturn. Due to an inability to
accurately predict future impacts of pandemics on businesses, there is a risk that COVID-19, new variants thereof or other infectious diseases that develop into a pandemic may make determinations and negotiations of valuation of target businesses
more difficult, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination transaction.
The extent to
which COVID-19 or other infectious diseases ultimately impact our identification and consummation of a business combination will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and spread of COVID-19, variants thereof or other infectious diseases and actions to contain such diseases or treat
their impact, among others. While vaccines may be developed (and in the case of COVID-19 have been developed), there is no guarantee that any vaccine against an infectious disease will be durable and effective consistent with expectations. If the
disruptions posed by a pandemic or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business
combination, may be materially adversely affected.
In addition, our ability to coordinate as a team or to consummate a business combination may be
dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by COVID-19, variants thereof or other health crises and related events.
Finally, the outbreak of COVID-19, variants thereof or other infectious diseases may also have the effect of
heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those related to the market for our securities.
We may not be able to find a suitable target business and consummate an initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of our initial
public offering. An increasing number of SPACs have liquidated beginning in the second half of the 2022 due to an inability to complete an initial business combination within their allotted time periods. Our ability to complete our initial business
combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein, including, but not limited to, the war between Russia and UkraineUkraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the military intervention of the U.S. in Venezuela and the Israel-Hamasconflict conflict.in the Middle East and Iran.
If we have not consummated an initial business combination within such applicable time period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released for permitted withdrawals, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In either such case, our public shareholders may receive only $10.00 per public share, or less than $10.00 per public share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. See “ —If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per public share” and other risk factors herein.
We have until the date that is 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or until such
earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business combination within
such 24-month period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business
combination. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension and the related amendments are implemented by the directors, holders of Class A ordinary shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares at a per shareper-share price, payable in
cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (less permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law. However, we may
decide not to seek to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. If we do not seek to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination, and we are unable to consummate our initial
business combination within the applicable time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, subject to
our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law, and our warrants will expire worthless. There is no limit on the number of extensions that we may seek; however, we do not
expect to extend the time period to consummate our initial business combination beyond 36 months from the closing of our initial public offering. If we determine not to or are unable to extend the time period to consummate our initial business
combination or fail to obtain shareholder approval to extend, our sponsor may lose its entire investment in our founder shares and our private placement units. For more information, also see “ —Since our sponsor, executive officers and
directors may lose their entire investment in us (other than with respect to public shares they may acquire after our initial public offering) if our initial business combination is not completed and no liquidating
distributions from assets outside the trust account are available, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.”
We encountered and expect to encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more local industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources are relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, we are obligated to offer holders of our public shares the right to redeem their shares for cash at the time of our initial business combination in conjunction with a shareholder vote or via a tender offer. Target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. If we have not consummated our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per public share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless. See “ —If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per public share” and other risk factors herein.
Of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, only approximately $1,357,044$1.4 million (as of December 31, 20242025)
are available to us outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account, together with funds from permitted withdrawals and funds available from loans from our
sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the 24 months following the closing of our initial public offering; however, our estimate may not be accurate, and our sponsor,
members of our management team or any of their affiliates are under no obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Further, our independent registered public accounting firm’s report included in this Report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.” Of the funds available to us, we expect to use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to
assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent 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 business combination, although we do not have any
current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we
might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.
If in addition to our permitted withdrawals we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances may be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us for permitted withdrawals or upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The private placement units issued upon conversion of any such loans would be identical to the private placement units sold in the private placement concurrently with our initial public offering. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive an estimated $10.00 per public share, or possibly less, on our redemption of our public shares. See “ —If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per public share” and other risk factors in this Report.
Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose
particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust
account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection
with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly,
the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to a
letter agreement, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective
target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiallyconfidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amounts in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and
(ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest
that may be withdrawn for permitted withdrawals and, if we decide to liquidate, $100,000 of dissolution expenses, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or
prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. However, we
have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our sponsor’s only assets are
securities of our company. Our sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be
reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our
officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
For more information on additional financing that we may raise in connection with our business combination and risks related thereto, also see “ —We may issue shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price which is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and add costs” and “ —We may issue notes or other debt, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a business combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our shareholders’ investment in us.”
Additionally, in August 2023, the President of the United States issued an executive
order setting forth the framework for outbound investment controls regulating U.S. investment to countries and companies deemed to be averse to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. WhileIn October 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a
Notice ofFinal ProposedRule Rulemakingto in June 2024 contemplatingimplement the impositionpresident’s oforder, which became effective on January 2, 2025, and imposes notification requirements for, and the potential prohibition of, outbound investment involving semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies,technologies and
artificial intelligence by U.S. persons into certain entities with a nexus to China,China. Moreover, the number of targeted sectors is set to expand and there is a high likelihood that it will continue to do so. In February 2025, the President of the United States issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum noting the intention to expand restrictions on outbound investment to include sectors such as biotechnology, hypersonics, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, directed energy and other areas implicated by China’s national military-civil fusion strategy. In addition, in December 2025, the president signed into law the Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security Act of 2025 (the “COINS Act”), which, among other changes, adds hypersonics, high-performing computing, and supercomputing to the list of covered technologies subject to outbound investment restrictions. The COINS Act also expands the scope of restrictions to include Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela under the Maduro regime, in addition to China. While the U.S. Department of the Treasury must issue regulations implementing the COINS Act no later than March 2027, the exact scope and application of the expanded outbound investment program under the COINS Act has yet to be determined. WhenThe current and, once effective, expanded restrictions on U.S. outbound investment become effective, these
could limit the universe of business combinations investments available to the sponsor and/or adversely affect the governance and operations of the sponsor and/or the combined company.
Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our business combination.
If we cannot complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering because the transaction is still under review or because our business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S.
government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, shareholders of record may only receive their pro rata portion of funds available in the trust account and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the
investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a
business combination, may be materially adversely affected by thedifficult recentmarket and ongoinggeopolitical military action between Russia and Ukraine.conditions.
Our search for a business combination and any target’s business, financial condition and results of operation may be affected by conditions and trends in the global financial markets and the global economic and political climate relating to, among other things, fluctuations in interest rates, the availability and cost of credit, future increases in inflation, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws and regulations relating to our taxation, taxation of our clients and applicable to alternative asset managers), trade policies, commodity prices, tariffs (including retaliatory tariffs), currency exchange rates and controls, political elections and administration transitions, and national and international political events (including contract terminations or funding pauses, government agency closures, prolonged government shutdowns, wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, and security operations), work stoppages, labor shortages and labor disputes, supply chain disruptions and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health pandemics.
Changes in trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs between the United States, Mexico, Canada, China or other countries, or reactionary measures in response thereto including retaliatory tariffs, legal challenges, or currency manipulation, could adversely affect the market conditions in which we operate.
Global financial markets have also experienced heightened volatility in recent periods, including as a result of economic and political events in or affecting the world’s major economies, such as the ongoing wars and conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, as well as continued political and social unrest in Venezuela, the Middle East and regions of North Africa. Concerns over economic recession, future increases in inflation, interest rate volatility, fluctuations in oil and gas prices resulting from global production and demand levels and geopolitical tension, have exacerbated market volatility. Market volatility has been further exacerbated by social unrest, changes regarding immigration and work permit policies and other political and security concerns both in the United States and across various international regions.
During periods of difficult market conditions or slowdowns, which may be across one or more industries, sectors or geographies, the companies with which we may consummate a business combination may experience decreased revenues, financial losses, credit rating downgrades, difficulty in obtaining access to financing and increased funding costs. During such periods, those companies may also have difficulty in pursuing growth strategies, expanding their businesses and operations and be unable to meet their debt service obligations or other expenses as they become due.
Many of the above factors discussed above are outside of our control and could not only adversely affect our ability to search for a business combination and the business, financial condition and results of operations of any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, but may also adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in connection with a business combination.
On
February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly
unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and
social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage. Russia’s recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action
against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction programs imposed by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic.
The situation is rapidly evolving as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, and the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries
may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the
existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our ability to search for a business
combination or finance such business combination, and the business, financial condition and results of operations of any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination may be materially adversely affected.
A deterioration in economic
conditions and related drivers of global uncertainty and change, such as reduced business activity, high unemployment, rising interest rates, housing prices, and energy prices (including the price of gasoline), increased consumer indebtedness, lack
of available credit, the rate of inflation, and consumer perceptions of the economy, as well as other factors, such as terrorist attacks, protests, looting, and other forms of civil unrest, cyber attacks and data breaches, public health emergencies
(such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics), extreme weather conditions and climate change, significant changes in the political environment, political instability, armed conflict (such as
the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and RussiaRussia, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the military intervention of the U.S. in Venezuela and the military conflict in Israelthe Middle East and GazaIran) and/or public policy, including increased state, local or federal taxation, could adversely affect our financial condition, the financial
condition of prospective target companies for our initial business combination, or the financial condition of the combined company even if we successfully consummate a business combination, as well as our ability to locate a commercially viable
target company for our business combination in the first instance.
The price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general market or economic conditions, including as a result of geopolitical events like the conflicts in Ukraine and Russia, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the military intervention of the U.S. in Venezuela, the conflict in the Middle East and Iran, or economic impacts, such as a result of inflation, tariffs and the COVID-19 virus or any variants thereof. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement that
we entered into concurrently with the issuance and sale of the securities in our initial public offering, our sponsor, and its permitted transferees can demand that we register the resale of the securities they hold or may acquire, including the
Class A ordinary shares into which founder shares are convertible and the securities included in the private placement units (including any private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans), such as the private
placement shares included in private placement units, the warrants included in such private placement units and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of suchprivate placement warrants. The holderssponsor of these
securities areis entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holderssponsor havehas certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed
subsequently to ourthe completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities
for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our initial business combination more costly or difficult to
conclude. This is because the shareholders of the target business may increase the equity stake they seek in the combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on the market price of our securities that is expected
when the securities owned by our sponsor, holders of working capital loans or their permitted transferees are registered for resale.
On
July 15, 2024, Oaktree Acquisition Holdings III LS, L.P. paid $25,000 to cover for certain expenses on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of 5,031,250 founder shares, or approximately $0.005 per share. On September 9, 2024, in
connection with its dissolution, Oaktree Acquisition Holdings III LS, L.P. transferred the 5,031,250 Class B ordinary shares to Oaktree Acquisition Holdings III LS, LLC, our sponsor, and assigned all its rights and obligation under the
securities subscription agreement dated July 15, 2024 to our sponsor. Prior to such initial investment in the company of $25,000, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per shareper-share price of the founder shares was determined by
dividing the amount so paid by the number of founder shares issued in consideration therefor. In connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of our initial public offering, our sponsor forfeited
231,492 Class B ordinary shares to our sponsor at no cost to the Company, resulting in our sponsor holding 4,799,758 Class B ordinary shares. In addition, our sponsor has purchased 583,981 private placement units, at a price of $10.00 per
share ($5,839,810 in the aggregate), in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering. Holders of our founder shares and private placement shares included in the private placement units have agreed to
waive their right to receive distributions from our trust account in connection with a redemption of our public shares. Unless there are liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, the founder shares and private placement units
will be worthless if we do not consummate an initial business combination within the required time period. The personal and financial interests of our executive officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a
target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. This risk may become more acute as
the 24-month anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering nears, which is the deadline for our consummation of an initial business combination.
Our warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant
agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any
ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this Report and the Exhibit 4.5 thereto,hereto, or defective provision,
(ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least
50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder
if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the
private placement warrants, 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited,
examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon
exercise of a warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants shall only require our consent and the holders of a majority of the private placement warrants, (b) we may lower the
exercise price of the warrants or extend the duration of the exercise period of the warrants without the consent of the registered holders of the warrants, and (c) we may in our sole discretion and at any time allow or require the exercise of
the warrants on a “cashless basis” without the consent of any registered holders.
If we call our public warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria described elsewhere in this Report and the Exhibit 4.5 thereto
hereto have been satisfied, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its public warrants to do so on a cashless basis. If our management chooses to require holders to exercise their public warrants on a cashless
basis, the number of Class A ordinary shares received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised their public warrants for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential
“upside” of the holder’s investment in us.
Each unit contains one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, no fractional
warrants will be issued upon separation of the units, and only whole units will trade. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole
number the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one ordinary share and one whole warrant to purchase one whole share. We have
established the components of the units in this way in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of a business combination since the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate
for one-fifth of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a whole warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target
businesses.

Our letter agreement with our sponsor, officers and directors contains provisions relating to
transfer restrictions of our founder shares and private placement units, indemnification of the trust account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the trust account. The letter agreement may be amended
without shareholder approval with our written consent as well as the written consent of the sponsor and our directors and officers to the extent they are the subject of any change, amendment, modification or waiver to the letter agreement. The
written consent of Jefferies LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, will also be required for an amendment of a provision of the letter agreement that subjects the sponsor and our directors
and officers to certain of the restrictions included in the underwriting agreement and pursuant to which the sponsor and our officers and directors agree that, subject to certain limited exceptions described in the letter agreement (for more
information on such limited exceptions, also see “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Securities Eligible for Future Sale”) and certain other exceptions
described in the underwriting agreement, until April 21, 2025 (or 180 days following the pricing of our initial public offering on October 23, 2024), they will not, without the prior written consent of Jefferies LLC, Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, units, warrants, Class A ordinary shares or any other securities convertible
into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A ordinary shares (for more information on the letter agreement in which the transfer restrictions are included and for more information on the limited exceptions to such transfer restrictions,
also see “Item 1. Business—Initial Business Combination” and “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Transfers of Founder Shares and Private
Placement Units”). While we do not expect our board to approve any amendment to the letter agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that our board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its
fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the letter agreement. Any such amendments to the letter agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our
securities.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $ $1,434,965 in our operating bank account and working capital of $248,591. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our finance and acquisition plans, including the consummation of a business combination. We have until October 25, 2026, to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by then, we may, however, elect to seek to extend the time period during which we may consummate a business combination consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension requires the approval of our shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity at that time to redeem all or a portion of their public shares (which may have a material adverse effect on the amount held in the trust account). Should a business combination not occur, there may be mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Such mandatory liquidation condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
If we are a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year (or
portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined immediately below) of our Class A ordinary shares or warrants, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be
subject to additional reporting requirements. Our PFIC status for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend on whether we qualify for the PFIC start-up exception. Depending on the
particular circumstances, the application of the start-up exception may be subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that we will qualify for
the start-up exception. Accordingly, thereThere can be no assurances with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. Our actual PFIC status for any
taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Moreover, if we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will
timely provide such required information, and such election would be unavailable with respect to our warrants in all cases. We urge U.S. investors to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules. A U.S. Holder is a
beneficial owner of our units, Class A ordinary shares or warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated
as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate whose income is
subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in
the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law theThe Inflation Reduction Act of
2022 (the “IR Act”), which,2022, among other things, generally imposes a 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by “covered corporations” (which include publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and
certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporations) occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself,
not its stockholders from which the stock is repurchased. The amount of the Excise Tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax,
repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the Excise Tax. The U.S.
Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has authority to provideissue regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the Excise Tax. OnIn April 9,of 2024, the Treasury issued proposed Treasury
regulations that provide proposed operating rules for the Excise Tax, including rules governing the computation of the Excise Tax, on which taxpayers may rely until the proposed Treasury regulations are finalized,finalized. andAdditionally, onin June 28,of 2024, the
Treasury issued final Treasury regulations on the reporting and payment (but not the computation) of the Excise Tax. In November of 2025, the proposedTreasury issued final Treasury regulations on the computation of the Excise Tax. In the final Treasury regulations, the Treasury exempts from the Excise Tax any distributions by a covered corporation in the
same year it completely liquidates within the meaning of either Section 331 or Section 332(a) (but notor both) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which includes distributions that occur in
connection with redemptions. Under the proposedfinal Treasury regulations, the Excise Tax may be applicable to redemptions by a covered corporation in connection with (i) a liquidation that is not a “complete liquidation” within the
meaning of either Section 331 or Section 332(a) of the Code, (ii) an extension, depending on the timing of the extension relative to when the covered corporation consummates an initial business combination or liquidates and
(iii) an initial business combination, depending on the structure of the initial business combination. Although the proposed Treasury regulations clarify certain aspects of the Excise Tax, the interpretation and operation of other aspects of
the Excise Tax remain unclear. In addition, although taxpayers generally may rely on the proposed Treasury regulations until they are finalized, there is no assurance that the proposed Treasury regulations will be finalized in their current form,
and therefore, the Excise Tax might apply to a future transaction undertaken by us (including after a business combination) in a manner that is different than described in the proposed Treasury regulations.
We are currently not a “covered corporation” for purposes of the Excise Tax. If we were to become a “covered corporation” in the future,
whether in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination with a U.S. company (including if we were to redomicile as a U.S. corporation in connection therewith) or otherwise, whether and to what extent we would be subject to
the Excise Tax on a redemption of our shares would depend on a number of factors, including (i) whether the redemption is treated as a repurchase of shares for purposes of the Excise Tax, (ii) the fair market value of the redemption
treated as a repurchase of shares, (iii) the structure of our initial business combination, (iv) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances (whether in connection with our initial business combination or
otherwise) issued within the same taxable year of a redemption treated as a repurchase of shares and (v) the content of finalized regulations andany other guidance from the Treasury. As noted above, the Excise Tax would be payable by the
repurchasing corporation, and not by the redeeming holder, and only limited guidance on the mechanics of any required reporting and payment of the Excise Tax on which taxpayers may rely have been issued to date.holder. The imposition of the Excise Tax on
us as a result of redemptions by us could, however, reduce the amount of cash available to pay redemptions or reduce the cash available to the target business in connection with our initial business combination, which could cause investors in our securities who do not redeem or the other shareholders of
the combined company to economically bear the impact of such Excise Tax.
In the event we acquire a non-U.S.
In the
event we acquire a non-U.S. target, our ability to seek and enforce legal protections, including with respect to intellectual property and other property rights, or to defend ourselves with regard to
legal actions taken against us in a given country, may be difficult or impossible, which could adversely impact our operations, assets or financial condition.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to December 31, 20242025 were

revenues until after the completion of our business combination.combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securitiescash 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 in connection with identifying and completing a business combination.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $7,288,824, which consists of interest earned on cash held in trust account of $8,484,511, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,195,687.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern
On
October 25, 2024, we completed theour initial public offering of 17,500,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating proceeds of $175,000,000. Simultaneous with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 550,000 private
placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,500,000.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements –Going Concern”, the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the 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 business combination, and reducing overhead expenses. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise additional capital will be successful. The Company has until October 25, 2026, to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by then, the Company may, however, elect to seek to extend the period during which we may consummate a business combination consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension will require the approval of the Company’s shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity at that time to redeem all or a portion of their public shares (which would likely have a material adverse effect on the amount held in the trust account and other adverse effects on the Company. Should a business combination not occur, there may be a mandatory liquidation of the trust account and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Such potential mandatory liquidation condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements contained in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other
than an agreement to pay the sponsor or one of its affiliates for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $25,000 per month. We began incurring these fees on October 23, 2024 and will continue to incur these fees
monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation.

Due to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and forfeiture of the remaining option by
the underwriters on October 30, 2024, the Companysponsor forfeited 231,492 Founderfounder Sharesshares at no cost to the Company.
Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement
We entered into a registration and shareholder rights agreement in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to which our sponsor, and its permitted transferees, if any, are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the securities they hold or may acquire, including the Class A ordinary shares into which founder shares are convertible and the securities included in the private placement units (including any private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans), and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of private placement warrants. The sponsor is entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the sponsor has certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequently to the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Further, pursuant to such agreement, our sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, is also entitled to nominate three individuals for election to our board of directors, as long as the sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.
For more information on contractual obligations and related party transactions, also see Note 4 and Note 5 in the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
The preparation of financial statements contained in this Report and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
The Company
accounts for the public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and HedgingHedging.”.
Accordingly, the Company evaluated and recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified
contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815.
The public shares will contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s
liquidation, certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial business combination. In accordance
with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the
control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the
closing of the initial public offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional
paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income
per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and
Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value
approximates fair value.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statement.statement contained in this Report.
In November 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim
basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss.
The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate
resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the
amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024, with early adoption permitted.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and, after 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. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securitiescash held in the trustTrust Account in the form of demand deposit 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 in connection with completing a business combination.

SimultaneousSimultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 550,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,500,000.

Net income of $1,394,121$2,998,742 was impacted by interest earned on cash held in ourthe trust account of $1,850,660.$3,717,238.

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash of $203,414,191$205,280,770 held in the trust account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less permitted withdrawals and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete a business combination. To the extent that our shares or debt are used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-business combination entity.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash of $1,276,930$1,179,670 outside of 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, properties 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, as well as pay our advisors.
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 certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts but no proceeds from ourthe trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans are convertible at the option of the lender into private placement units identical to the private placement units sold to the Sponsor in connection with our initial public offering, at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit.
As described in other parts of this Report, we may make permitted withdrawals from the trust account. Permitted withdrawals are amounts withdrawn or eligible to be withdrawn from ourthe trust account to fund our working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $250,000 (plus the rollover of unused amounts from prior years), and/or to pay our taxes (any withdrawals to pay for our taxes (which shall exclude the Excise Tax if any is imposed on us) shall not be subject to the $250,000 annual limitation described in the foregoing); provided that such withdrawals can only be made from interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not from the principal held in the trust account.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the 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 business combination, and reducing overhead expenses. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise additional capital will be successful. The Company has until October 25, 2026, to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by then, the Company may, however, elect to seek to extend the period during which we may consummate a business combination consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension will require the approval of the Company’s shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity at that time to redeem all or a portion of their public sharesshares, (which would likely have a material adverse effect on the amount held in the trust account and other adverse effects on the Company. Should a business combination not occur, there may be a mandatory liquidation of the trust account and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Such potential liquidity shortfalls and mandatory liquidation condition raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements contained in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,liabilities whichthat 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.
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor or one of its affiliates for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $25,000 per month. We began incurring these fees on October 23, 2024 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation. In addition, we have agreed, pursuant to the administrative services and indemnification agreement with the Sponsor, that we will indemnify the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor, and its affiliates (“Oaktree”), from any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with our affairs, including, but not limited to, any claims, made by us or a third party, (i) arising out of or relating to our initial public offering or our operations or conduct of our business, (ii) in respect of any investment opportunities sourced by the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Oaktree, and/or (iii) against the Sponsor and/or Oaktree alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the Sponsor and/or Oaktree of any of our activities or any express or implied association between the Sponsor and/or Oaktree, on the one hand, and us or any of our other affiliates, on the other hand, which agreement provides that the indemnified parties cannot access the funds held in ourthe trust account.
