Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

We completed our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on December 5, 2025 raising $230,000,000 toward identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Since the IPO,Initial Public Offering, we have been evaluating and engaging in dialog with potential acquisition candidates. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination. We currently generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account, but such interest cannot be used for ongoing operating or targeting activities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things). We also incur costs for administration and target evaluation. We will incur expenses for due diligence at the time an acquisition target is being pursued.

The preparation of the unaudited financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. 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 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 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
