Recent Developments
Sponsor Acquisition
On January 28, 2026, the Buyers acquired all of the membership interests in the Sponsor owned by the non-managing members of the Sponsor pursuant to a securities purchase agreement. Simultaneously with such transaction, the Buyers also acquired all of the membership interests of Conroy Partners LLC, the managing member of the Sponsor, pursuant to a member interest purchase agreement. As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Buyers own all of the membership interests in the Sponsor. The Sponsor also acquired from Cantor 2,000,000 private placement warrants of the Company owned by Cantor pursuant to a securities purchase agreement.
In connection with the consummation of the Sponsor Acquisition, on January 28, 2026, Erich Spangenberg resigned as the Chairman of the Board and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of the closing of the Sponsor Acquisition. Delos M. Cosgrove, MD and Vincent Capone resigned as directors of the Board and as members of audit and compensation committees of the Board, effective as of the closing of the Sponsor Acquisition.
On January 28, 2026, in connection with the Sponsor Acquisition, Christopher Devall was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In addition, Anthony Hayes (as Chairman), Jarrett Gorlin, Matthew Saker, and Kyle Haug were appointed to serve as our Board of Directors, which changes became effective on March 7, 2026.
Underwriter Fee Reduction Agreement
On January 28, 2026, we and the Sponsor entered into the Fee Reduction Agreement with Cantor, as representative of the several underwriters for our initial public offering consummated on July 11, 2024.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cantor was previously entitled to receive the Original Deferred Fee upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Pursuant to the Fee Reduction Agreement, and subject to the consummation of a business combination, Cantor has instead agreed to receive, the Reduced Deferred Fee.
The Reduced Deferred Fee will be payable upon the closing of our initial business combination. If we (or our successor) fail to pay the Reduced Deferred Fee in full at such time, Cantor may elect to require us to pay the full amount of the Original Deferred Fee in cash.
In addition, if we or the Sponsor becomes entitled to receive any break-up, termination or similar fee in connection with a proposed business combination that is terminated, abandoned or otherwise not consummated, 50% of the amount of such fee shall be applied toward payment of the Reduced Deferred Fee, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Fee Reduction Agreement.
Administrative Services Agreements
On January 28, 2026, the Administrative Services Agreement, dated July 9, 2024, by and between us and SIM Management LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, was terminated, and any accrued obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement were waived.
On March 18, 2026, the Company and Dominari Holdings Inc. entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which Dominari will provide office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support to the Company in exchange for $20,000 per month. Mr. Hayes is the Chief Executive Officer of Dominari.
Promissory Note with Sponsor
On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into the 2026 Note. Pursuant to the 2026 Note, the interest rate is 12% per annum, based on actual days / 360 and there is a 5.0% original issue discount (OID). The 2026 Note is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of: (1) our initial Business Combination, or (2) our liquidation.
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 29, 2024 (inception) to December
31, 20242025 have
been been(i) organizational activities and those(ii) necessaryactivities relating to prepare for and consummate(x) the Initial Public Offering, and following(y) identifying and evaluating
theprospective closingacquisition ofcandidates and activities in connection with the Initial Public Offering, searching for a target with which to consummate ainitial Business Combination. Following the Initial
Public Offering, weWe will not generate any operating
revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated
non-operating income in the form of interest income
on cash and cash equivalents followingsubsequent to the Initial Public Offering. After the Initial
Public Offering, we haveand incurred increased 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 monthsyear ended December 31, 2024,2025, we had net income of $2,436,140,$8,789,649, which includes $2,695,350$9,795,490 of interest income earned on the
Trust Account,
offset by $259,210$1,005,841 of general and administrative costs.
Factors That May
Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our
results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could
cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted
by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations
in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations,
and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood
of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our
ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
We
have available to us approximately $697,085$65,427 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, as of December 31, 2024.2025. In addition, on March
18, 2026, we entered into the 2026 Note, providing us access to up to an additional $1.5 million. We expect to continue
to use these
funds to primarily 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
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination,
our our
Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may
be be
required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that our initial
Business Business
Combination does not close, we may use amounts held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds
from from
our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of
the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to
the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist
with respect to such Working Capital Loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans
from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor 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.
Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, or on such other terms as may be approved by the Board, and shareholders, if required pursuant to applicable law. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor 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.
We have until July 11, 2026 to consummate a Business Combination, unless extended by amending our Amended and Restated Memorandum. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” as of December 31, 2025, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s cash balance does not exceed its current budgeted operating requirements, and management has concluded that this indicates the Company will not have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
In
connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” as of December 31, 2024, we believe we have sufficient funds for
our working capital needs until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of the audited financial statements and notes thereto
contained elsewhere in this Report. We cannot assure that our plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful.
WeOther
than the 2026 Note, we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating
our business. However,
if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating
a Business Combination
are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business
prior to our Business
Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or
because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which
case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
On January 28, 2026, we and the Sponsor entered into the Fee Reduction Agreement with Cantor, as representative of the several underwriters for our initial public offering consummated on July 11, 2024.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Cantor was previously entitled to receive the Original Deferred Fee upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Pursuant to the Fee Reduction Agreement, and subject to the consummation of a business combination, Cantor has instead agreed to receive, in lieu of the Original Deferred Fee, a non-refundable cash fee equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount delivered from our trust account upon the closing of our initial business combination.
The Reduced Deferred Fee will be payable upon the closing of our initial business combination. If we (or its successor) fail to pay the Reduced Deferred Fee in full at such time, Cantor may elect to require the Company to pay the full amount of the Original Deferred Fee in cash.
In addition, if we or the Sponsor becomes entitled to receive any break-up, termination or similar fee in connection with a proposed business combination that is terminated, abandoned or otherwise not consummated, 50% of the amount of such fee shall be applied toward payment of the Reduced Deferred Fee, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Fee Reduction Agreement.
In addition, if the Company or the Sponsor becomes entitled to receive any break-up, termination or similar fee in connection with a proposed business combination that is terminated, abandoned or otherwise not consummated, 50% of the amount of such fee shall be applied toward payment of the Reduced Deferred Fee, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Fee Reduction Agreement.
Commencing
on July 10, 2024, and untilterminated completionon ofJanuary our28, initial Business Combination or liquidation,2026, we paypaid an affiliate of our Sponsor $10,000
per month for certain
office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative
Services Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, there was $60,000$110,000 incurred and paid for the year ending December 31,
2024.2025.
On January 28, 2026, the Administrative Services Agreement, dated July 9, 2024, by and between the Company and SIM Management LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, was terminated, and any accrued obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement were waived.
On March 18, 2026, the Company and Dominari Holdings Inc. entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which Dominari will provide office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support to the Company in exchange for $20,000 per month. Mr. Hayes is the Chief Executive Officer of Dominari.
Promissory Note with Sponsor
Also on March 18, 2026 the Company entered into the 2026 Note. Pursuant to the 2026 Note, the interest rate is 12% per annum, based on actual days / 360 and there is a 5.0% original issue discount (OID). The 2026 Note is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of: (1) our initial Business Combination, or (2) our liquidation.

As a smaller reporting company
under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in the Report. However, for
detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO
Registration Statement, (ii) 2024 Annual Report, (iii) 2025 Annual Report. (iv) Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2026, June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024 and
(v) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. As of the date of the Report, there have
been no material changes with respect to those risk factors ,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.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, Management has determined that our possible need for additional financing to enable us negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required to liquidate our Trust Account, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date the unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report were issued.
Our search for an initial Business Combination,
and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected
by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts in the Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East between United States,
Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.
Our ability to find a potential
target business and the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could be materially and adversely
affected by events that are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced and may continue
to experience volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and
the recent conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities between
the United States, Israel and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum products
and related commodities, with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United
Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related
individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid
or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts,
including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number
of nations.
The invasion of Ukraine by
Russia and the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia
and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom,
the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting
impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts and geopolitical turmoil are highly unpredictable,
they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply
chain interruptions, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally,
any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity
in capital markets.
Similarly, other events outside
of our control, including natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may
arise from time to time, and any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have disproportionate
impacts to certain industries or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply chain), and may adversely
affect the global economy or capital markets.
Any of the abovementioned
factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian
invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest
Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination and any target
business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
The extent and duration of
the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly
if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on
a global scale or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities.
Any such disruptions may also
have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern
continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business
with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability
to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted by these and other
events, including as a result of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on acceptable terms or
at all.
Military or other conflicts in Ukraine,
between the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead
to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential
target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Military or other conflicts
in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may
lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential
target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty,
any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a Business Combination target and consummate an initial Business Combination
on acceptable commercial terms, or at all.
We may seek to further 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 July 12, 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 with the opportunity to have all or a portion
of their Public Shares redeemed. Any redemptions will reduce the amount held in our Trust Account, the effect of which may adversely affect
our ability to consummate our initial Business Combination and may also impair our ability to maintain our Nasdaq listing.
We anticipate that our securities will be
suspended from trading on Nasdaq and delisted if we do not consummate our initial Business Combination by July 12, 2027. 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 July 9, 2024 and our securities are currently listed on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq. Pursuant
to our Amended and Restated Articles, we have until July 12, 2027 to consummate our initial Business Combination.
Under the Nasdaq Rules, a
SPAC’s Nasdaq-listed securities will be immediately suspended from trading if the SPAC does not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement,
and Nasdaq will, at such point, commence delisting procedures. Although a SPAC can request a hearing before the hearing panel of Nasdaq
(the “Hearing Panel”), the scope of the Hearing Panel’s review is limited. If a SPAC completes a Business Combination
after receiving a delisting determination by the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (a “Staff Delisting Determination”)
and/or demonstrates compliance with all applicable initial listing requirements, the combined company can apply to list its securities
on Nasdaq pursuant to the normal application review process. The Nasdaq Rules contain a list of deficiencies that would immediately result
in a Staff Delisting Determination, which includes noncompliance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement.
Accordingly, 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 July 12, 2027 in order to avoid a suspension of our securities
from trading on and delisting from Nasdaq. If Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq
suspension and delisting could have significant material adverse consequences, including:
In addition, if our securities
are delisted from Nasdaq, trading in our securities, and offers and sales of our securities by us, may be subject to state securities
regulation and additional compliance costs.
Our Public Shareholders’ exercise
of redemption rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares in the 2026 EGM may affect our ability to complete an initial Business
Combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all.
In connection with the vote
to approve the Extension Amendment, Public Shareholders holding 22,447,232 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such
Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $242,175,471, or approximately
$10.79 per share, to such redeeming Public Shareholders in connection with the 2026 EGM.
Due to the high rates of redemptions
of Public Shares in connection with the 2026 EGM, we may need to rely upon significant PIPE or other outside financing to provide cash
to our post-Business Combination company. Obtaining financing in connection with initial Business Combinations of SPACs has in recent
times been very difficult, with many financings available only on terms that are onerous to the surviving company of the Business Combination.
The failure to secure additional financing on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth
of the target business. None of the Sponsor or our other shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or
after our initial Business Combination. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence
of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels or on onerous terms. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete a Business
Combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all.

by the non-managing members of the Sponsor pursuant to a securities purchase agreement. Simultaneously with such transaction, the Buyers
also acquired all of the membership interests of Conroy Partners LLC, the managing member of our Sponsor, pursuant to a member interest
purchase agreement. As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Buyers now own all of the membership interests in our Sponsor. The
Sponsor also acquired from Cantor 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants owned by Cantor pursuant to a securities purchase agreement.
In
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated above (the “Sponsor Acquisition”), on January 28, 2026,
Erich Spangenberg resigned as the Chairman of the Board and as our Chief Executive Officer, effective as of the closing of the Sponsor
Acquisition. Delos M. Cosgrove, MD and Vincent Capone resigned as directors of the Board and as members of the Audit and Compensation
Committees of the Board, effective as of the closing of the Sponsor Acquisition.

Anthony Hayes (as Chairman), Jarrett Gorlin, Matthew Saker, and Kyle Haug were appointed to serve as our Board of Directors, which changes
became effective on March 7, 2026.
On April 26, 2026, wethe Company entered
into a

for ourits acquisition (“Acquisition”) of 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of AIT upon the terms and conditions
to be set forth in certain definitive documents and negotiations (the “Definitive Documents”).
Among other segments, AIT
will operate Q1, which
is a 33-year leader in telecommunications that has evolved into a fully integrated platform spanning manufacturing,
logistics, distribution, and
connected device ecosystems. Building on its deep relationships with Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers, AIT has
scaled a robust Third-Party Logistics
and Fourth-Party Logistics and e-commerce infrastructure that supports global distribution across
the United States, Europe, and Latin
America.
We intend to negotiate the
Definitive Documents that will incorporate the provisions of the LOI as well as other terms and conditions typical for transactions of
this nature. During the initial 45-day period from the date of the LOI, each party has agreed not to solicit or encourage submission
of, or participate in discussions or enter into any agreement regarding any other Acquisition proposal, which period will automatically
renew for one additional 15-day period if we continue to work in good faith towards negotiation of the proposed transaction.
The Company intends to negotiate the Definitive

Other than the provisions
relating to confidentiality, expenses, exclusivity, waiver against trust, termination, governing law, jurisdiction,
waiver of jury trial
and miscellaneous, no terms of the LOI are binding until the Definitive Documents are signed by the Parties (as defined in the LOI).parties.

Founder Share Conversion
On May 11, 2026, 3,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares held by our Sponsor were converted into 3,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Conversion”). The Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the Conversion, including, among other things, the waiver of redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Following the Conversion, there were 3,552,768 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (including 552,768 Public Shares) and 4,666,667 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
We have neither engaged in
any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities fromsince January 29, 2024 (inception) tothrough MarchJune 31,30, 2026 have been
(i) organizational activities
and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering, and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective
acquisition candidates
and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues
until after completion
of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments
held in the
Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company
(for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended
MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had net income of $2,028,399$382,174, which includes $2,155,309$1,014,422 of interest income earned on the Trust Account, offset by $126,910$632,248
of general and administrative costs. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, we had net income of $2,222,746$2,297,552, which includes $2,464,218$2,479,087
of interest earned on the Trust Account, offset by $241,472$181,535 of general and administrative costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income of $2,410,573, which includes $3,169,731 of interest income earned on the Trust Account, offset by $759,158 of general and administrative costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $4,520,298, which includes $4,943,305 of interest earned on the Trust Account, offset by $423,007 of general and administrative costs.
On July 11, 2024 we consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the Underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option in
the amount of 3,000,000 Option Units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. The net proceeds from the sale of
the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement for an aggregate purchase
price of $6,000,000, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $477,616 and underwriting commissions of $4,000,000 (excluding
the Original Deferred Fee (as defined below) of $10,950,000), was $231,522,384. $230,000,000 haswas beeninitially helddeposited in the Trust Account, which
includes the Reduced Deferred Fee (as defined above.)Account.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal at the 2026 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 22,447,232 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.79 per Public Share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $242,175,471, which was paid from the Trust Account in May 2026. As of June 30, 2026, there was $6,112,563 in cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2025,2026, we had
cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $468,399.$260,436. We will use these funds 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.
In order to fund working
capital capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate
of of
our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required.
If we complete our initial Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that our initial Business
Combination does not close, we may use amounts held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from
our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of
the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to
the Private Placement Warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties
other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor 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. On March 18, 2026, the Company issued the WCL Promissory
Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the WCL Promissory Note, the interest rate is 12.0%
per annum, based on actual days / 360 and each draw carries a 5.0% original issue discount (OID). The WCL Promissory Note iswould be due
and payable
upon the earlier to occur of: (1) our initial Business Combination, or (2) our liquidation. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December
31, 2025,
the Company borrowed a total of $736,841 and $0.00, respectively, under Working Capital Loans pursuant to the WCL Promissory
Note.
We have until July 12, 2027
to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business
Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of our Company. In connection
with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about
an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation
and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed financial
statements included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” do not include any adjustments that may be necessary
if we are unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, our cash balance does not exceed our current budgeted operating requirements,
and Management has concluded that this indicates we will not have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due within
one year after the date the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”
are issued.
Promissory Note with Sponsor
On March 18, 2026, we issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to our Sponsor (the “WCL Promissory Note”). Pursuant to the WCL Promissory Note, the interest rate is 12.0% per annum, based on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and each draw carries a 5.0% original issue discount (OID). The WCL Promissory Note would be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of: (1) our initial Business Combination, or (2) our liquidation. As of June 30, 2026, the WCL Promissory Note had a face value of $760,956, which includes $24,115 of accrued interest and a net carrying value of $731,731, reflecting $29,225 of unamortized original issue discount.
We paid an$10,000 aggregate of $20,000
per month
to theour Sponsor or an affiliate thereof for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to an administrative
administrative services agreement, dated July 9, 2024, by and between us and SIM Management LP, an affiliate of the Sponsor. We began
incurring these
fees on MarchJuly 18,9, 20262024 and were to continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the
Business Combination
and our liquidation. On January 28, 2026, such administrative services agreement was terminated, and any accrued
obligations under the
Administrative Services Agreement were waived.
On March 18, 2026, we entered into an administrative series agreement with Dominari Holdings Inc. (“Dominari”), pursuant to which Dominari will provide office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support to us in exchange for $20,000 per month. Mr. Hayes, our Chairman, is the Chief Executive Officer of Dominari. Commencing in May 2026, such $20,000 monthly fee has been paid $10,000 per month to Dominari and $10,000 per month to an affiliated entity of Mr. Kutcher, our Chief Financial Officer.
Pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement, Cantor was previously entitled to receive deferred underwriting commissions in the aggregate amount of $10,950,000 (the “Original
Deferred Underwriting Fee”) upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination. On January 28, 2026, we entered into a fee
reduction agreement
with theour Sponsor and Cantor, as representative of the Underwriters (the “Fee Reduction Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Fee Reduction
Agreement, and subject to the consummation of a Business Combination, Cantor has instead agreed to receive a non-refundable
cash fee equal
to 1.5% of the aggregate amount delivered from the Trust Account upon the closing of our initial Business Combination (the
“Reduced
Deferred Fee”). The Reduced Deferred Fee will be payable upon the closing of our initial Business Combination. If
we (or our successor)
fail to pay the Reduced Deferred Fee in full at such time, Cantor may elect to require us to pay the full amount
of the original Deferred
Fee in cash. In addition, if we or the Sponsor becomes entitled to receive any break-up, termination or similar
fee in connection with
a proposed Business Combination that is terminated, abandoned or otherwise not consummated, 50% of the amount of
such fee shall be applied
toward payment of the Reduced Deferred Fee, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Fee Reduction Agreement.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after July 12, 2027. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
The preparation of the unaudited
condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” 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 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 included in this
Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the
near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of
MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
