NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Compass Digital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering that was consummated by the Company on October 19, 2021 (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and the search for a target business with which to consummate an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor was originally Compass Digital SPAC LLC (the “Legacy Sponsor”), until August 31, 2023 and has been HCG Opportunity, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor,” together, with the Legacy Sponsor, the “Sponsors”), since August 31, 2023 (see Note 5).
The
Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) on September 14, 2021, as amended (File No. 333-259502), was declared effective on October 14, 2021 (the “IPO
Registration Statement”). On October 19, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of units (“Units”
and, with respect to the (i) Class A Ordinary Shares (as defined below) included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”
and (ii) redeemable warrants included in the Units offered, the “Public Warrants”), at $ per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $
Certain
institutional anchor investors that are not affiliated with the Company, the Legacy Sponsor, or the Company’s officers, directors,
or any member of the Company’s management (“Management” and such investors, the “Institutional Anchor Investors”)
purchased an aggregate of Units in the Initial Public Offering. The Units were sold at an offering price of $ per Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to the Legacy Sponsor at a price of $ per Private
Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $
The Institutional Anchor Investors also purchased a portion of the equity interests of the Legacy Sponsor equivalent to Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) from the Legacy Sponsor at the original purchase price of $ per share. The Founder Shares may be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holders and will be automatically converted into Class A Ordinary Shares at the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended and currently in effect, the “Amended and Restated Charter”).

costs amounted to $
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 19, 2021, an amount of $

The
underwriters of the Initial Public Offering notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise the over-allotment option on
November 30, 2021 (the “Over-Allotment Option”). As such, on November 30, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional
units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $ per Over-Allotment Unit, and the sale of an additional Private
Placement Warrants, at $ per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $
Management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are being applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company will
only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.
If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Charter provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($ per Public Share as of June 30, 2025, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Warrants. These Class A Ordinary Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Charter, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The Sponsors have agreed (i) to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination; (ii) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the closing of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (iii) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Charter relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity; and (iv) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsors will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by April 20, 2026 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i)
cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days
thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $

The Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ per share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, 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 monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsors’ only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its shareholders that the Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company seeks to reduce the possibility that the Sponsors will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities, with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Sponsor Handover
On
August 30, 2023, the Legacy Sponsor and the Sponsor entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Purchase Agreement”), and on
August 31, 2023, the Legacy Sponsor and the Sponsor consummated the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Sponsor Handover”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, at the Sponsor Handover: (i) the Legacy Sponsor transferred Founder
Shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor; (ii) the Sponsor agreed to cause the Company to pay an aggregated amount
of $
On March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a joinder to Letter Agreement with each of the current directors and officers, which is effective as of the Sponsor Handover on August 31, 2023.
Extensions of the Combination Period
At the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held by the Company on October 19, 2023 (the “2023 EGM”), to approve proposals to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from October 19, 2023 to July 19, 2024 (the “2023 Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) to provide for the right of holders of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $ per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares,” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holders (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal” and together with the 2023 Extension Amendment Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”).
In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, Public Shareholders holding Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (the “2023 Redemptions”). As a result, approximately $ million (approximately $ per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
On July 18, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2024 EGM”) to approve, among other things, a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from July 19, 2024 to December 19, 2024, and then on a monthly basis up to four (4) times until April 19, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors (the “2024 Extension Amendment Proposal”).
In connection with the vote to approve the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders holding Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (the “2024 Redemptions”). As a result of the 2024 Redemptions, approximately $ million (approximately $per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
On April 16, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2025 EGM”) to approve, among other things, a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from April 19, 2025 to April 20, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors (the “2025 Extension Amendment Proposal”).
In connection with the vote to approve the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders holding Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (the “2025 Redemptions”).

On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”) for the shareholders of the Company, (ii) upon execution of a joinder thereto, a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company to be named “EEW Renewables Corp” (“Pubco”), (iii) upon execution of a joinder thereto, a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco to be named “EEW Merger Sub” (“Merger Sub”), (iv) EEW Renewables Ltd, a company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“EEW”), (v) the shareholders of EEW named therein that executed and delivered the Business Combination Agreement on the signing date (together with any transferees of ordinary shares of EEW prior to the Closing that either sign a joinder agreement to become a party thereto, or that become bound thereby pursuant to the drag-along rights to be set forth in EEW’s amended organizational documents (collectively, the “Sellers”), and (vi) E.E.W. Global Holding Limited, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which, (i) the Company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco, and (b) Pubco shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of EEW from the Sellers in exchange for Pubco ordinary shares (the “Share Exchange”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the laws of England and Wales (the Merger, the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents, together, the “Transactions”), and any outstanding convertible securities of EEW will be terminated; and (c) as a result of such Transactions, the Company and EEW each will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company upon the Closing.

Based on the foregoing, Management believes that the Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet its anticipated obligations through the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or one year from the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. Over this period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, operating costs, and completing our Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has until April 20, 2026 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time and the Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. If a Business Combination is not consummated with the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that (i) new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or (ii) that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2025.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, 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. The Company 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 the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. 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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The
Company accounts for its Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary Shares subject
to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary
Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are
considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Ordinary
Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit
section of the accompanying condensed balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded
accretion on the Class A Ordinary Shares of $
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Therefore, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet dates that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the offering costs were allocated using the relative fair values of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants. The costs allocated to Warrants were recognized in other expenses, and those related to the Class A Ordinary Shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A Ordinary Shares. The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs.”
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of Ordinary Shares: Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Net (loss) income is shared pro rata between the two classes of Ordinary Shares. Net (loss) income per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the inclusion of financial instruments in the calculation of earnings per share is contingent on a future event. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net (loss) income per Ordinary Share for the periods presented. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for its Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Ordinary Shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of Warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are accounted in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company accounts for the conversion features in the Working Capital Loans under ASC 815. The conversion features were classified as a derivative liability and the Company has determined that the fair value was immaterial at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the derivative warrant liabilities (see Note 10).
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’ own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Level 1-Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2-Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3-Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the Public Warrants, except there are no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On
March 9, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Legacy
Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares or exceeds $ per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Legacy Sponsor sold equity interest of the Legacy Sponsor equivalent to Founder Shares to the Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $ per share. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Institutional Anchor Investors to be $ per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares was valued based on the probability of the Company completing a Business Combination and marketability. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expensing of Offering” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T, “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)” (“SAB 5T”). Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs related to the Founder Shares amounted to $, of which $ was charged to shareholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $ was expensed to the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and included in transaction costs attributable to Warrant liabilities.
Sponsor Employment Agreement
The Sponsor has entered into employment agreements,
which include base salaries and bonuses for employees who may support both the Company and its affiliated entities. Under the terms of
employment agreements, the Sponsor may pay employee compensation through any entity it controls, including the Company. Management determines that allocating base salary and discretionary bonuses ratably among its affiliated entities is a fair and standard
practice, as employees typically support multiple entities simultaneously. This approach ensures that compensation costs are proportionally
shared based on the benefit each affiliated entity receives, preventing any single entity from bearing an unfair share of shared expenses. It aligns
with common practices in multi-entity investment platforms, while still allowing management the flexibility to adjust allocations based
on specific operational or financial considerations. Consistent with
this, certain portions of payroll have been allocated to the Company. As of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company
incurred and paid payroll and bonuses in the amount of $

In connection with the Non-Redemption Agreements (as defined in Note 6), the Sponsor agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of Founder Shares held by the Sponsor promptly following the closing of the Business Combination (but no later than two business days after the satisfaction of the requisite conditions to such transfer). The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Class B Ordinary Shares attributable to such investors to be $ or on a weighted average of $ per share as of October 19, 2023, which is estimated by taking into considerations the estimated probability of the consummation of a Business Combination, estimated concessions and estimated cost of carrying charges to eliminate the investor’s exposure to changes in the price of those Class B Ordinary Shares. The fair value of the Class B Ordinary Shares was determined to be an expense in accordance with SAB 5T.
In connection with the 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements (as defined in Note 6), the Sponsor agreed to transfer a total of Founder Shares (representing the transfer for the first five months of the extension period) to the investors, promptly following the closing of the Business Combination. Additionally, the Sponsor will transfer an additional shares for each month of extension from December 2024 through April 2025. In total, up to Founder Shares may be transferred to the investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares at $, or approximately $ per share on a weighted-average basis as of July 15, 2024.

In exchange for the commitment not to redeem the Public Shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to such investor As of May 8, 2025, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares at $, or approximately $ per share on a weighted-average basis. As of June 30, 2025, pursuant to the various non-redemption agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer Class B Ordinary Shares to certain investors on or promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these and Founder Shares, respectively, at $ and $, or approximately $ and $ per share, respectively, on a weighted-average basis. The Company considered the estimated probability of the consummation of a Business Combination, estimated concessions and estimated cost of carrying charges to eliminate the investor’s exposure to changes in the price of those Class B Ordinary Shares.

The Company will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of Warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Shares share equals or exceeds $. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Warrants for redemption:
| ● | in whole and not in part; | |
| ● | at $ per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive the number of shares determined by reference to the table set forth under “Description of Securities - Warrants - Public Shareholders’ Warrants” in the IPO Registration Statement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares; | |
| ● | if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $ per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and | |
| ● | if the Reference Value is less than $ per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms (except as described herein with respect to a holder’s ability to cashless exercise its warrants) as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above. |
If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
The exercise price and number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, Management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
SCHEDULE OF ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS
| Description | Level | June 30, 2025 | Level | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
| Private Placement Warrants (1) | Level 2 | $ | Level 2 | $ | ||||||||||||

| Polar Capital Investment Payable | Level 3 | $ | Level 3 | $ | ||||||||||||

Warrants
The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value as of each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations at the end of each period. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, and are presented within warrant liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.
Upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering on October 19, 2021, the Warrants were classified as Level 3 due to unobservable inputs used in the initial valuation. On December 9, 2021, the Public Warrants surpassed the 52-day threshold waiting period to be publicly traded in accordance with the IPO Registration Statement. Once publicly traded, the observable input qualifies the liability for treatment as a Level 1 liability. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 measurement due to lack of trading activity as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. As the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone outside of a small group of individuals who are permitted transferees would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant, with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. As such, the Private Placement Warrants were classified as Level 2 as it references the price of Public Warrants.
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:

NOTE 11 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the condensed statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets, which include the following:
SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT ASSETS
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Cash | $ | $ | ||||||
| Cash held in Trust Account | $ | $ | ||||||
| For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |||||||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | $ | ||||||
| Interest earned on cash held in Trust Account | $ | $ | ||||||
| For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |||||||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | $ | ||||||
| Interest earned on cash held in Trust Account | $ | $ | ||||||
The CODM reviews interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.
General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the condensed statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated events that have occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up through the date the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements were issued.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 (this “Report”) including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2021, formed for the purpose of effectuating a Business Combination. We are an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, are subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement.
We completed our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant, at $10.00 per Unit on October 19, 2021. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200 million. Certain Institutional Anchor Investors that are not affiliated with us, our Legacy Sponsor and certain of our prior directors and officers purchased 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we consummated the sale of 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Legacy Sponsor in the Private Placement, generating gross proceeds of $7 million. Concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, the Institutional Anchor Investors paid the Legacy Sponsor $280,000 for the transfer of an aggregate of 186,667 Private Placement Warrants, which transfer will take place upon the closing of the initial Business Combination.
The Institutional Anchor Investors also purchased equity interests of the Legacy Sponsor equivalent to 1,547,727 Founder Shares from the Legacy Sponsor at the original purchase price of $0.004 per share. Following the approval of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal by our shareholders at the 2023 EGM, the Founder Shares may be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time at the election of a holder of Founder Shares or at the time of our initial Business Combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in the Amended and Restated Charter.
Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering on October 19, 2021, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account located in the United States and were initially invested only in (i) U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or (ii) money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us. On October 19, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Citibank, N.A., with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.
The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering notified us of their intention to partially exercise the Over-Allotment Option on November 30, 2021. As such, on November 30, 2021, we consummated the sale of an additional (i) 1,240,488 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit, and (ii) 165,398 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $12,404,880 and $248,097, respectively. The underwriters forfeited the balance of the Over-Allotment Option. A total of $12,404,880 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds deposited into the Trust Account in connection with our Initial Public Offering to $212,404,880. We incurred additional offering costs of $682,268 in connection with the Over-Allotment Option (of which $434,171 was for deferred underwriting fees). On August 11, 2023 and August 14, 2023, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering informed us of their decision to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account.
Our Management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. We will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
| 21 |
We will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, we may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.
If we seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination and do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Amended and Restated Charter provides that, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without our prior written consent.
In connection with such vote, the Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($11.14 per share as of December 31, 2024, net of taxes paid and payable). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to Warrants. These Class A Ordinary Shares have been recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Charter, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
Each of our Sponsors has agreed (i) to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (ii) not to propose an amendment to our Amended and Restated Charter with respect to our pre-Business Combination activities prior to the closing of a Business Combination unless we provide dissenting Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (iii) not to redeem any Ordinary Shares (including the Founder Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any Ordinary Shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if we do not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (iv) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsors will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if we fail to complete our Business Combination.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by April 20, 2026, the end of the Combination Period, unless our Combination Period is further extended, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 to us to pay taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholder’s rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of our Company, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than approximately $11.48 per Public Share (net of taxes paid or payable, as of June 30, 2025).
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held cash of $1,521 and $27,720, respectively, and current liabilities of $6,973,759 and $6,162,507, respectively. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
Between June 30, 2025 through the date of this Report, we have drawn an additional $42,000 on the 2024 Promissory Note. The total aggregate outstanding balance on the 2024 Promissory Note is $1,574,121.
On March 5, 2025, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) filed a Form 25-NSE to delist our securities from Nasdaq. Our Class A Ordinary Shares, Public Warrants, and Units are quoted on the OTCID under the symbols “CDAQF,” “CDAWF” and “CDAUF,” respectively. We remain a reporting entity under the Exchange Act with respect to continued disclosure of financial and operational information.
On April 16, 2025, we held the 2025 EGM and our shareholders approved (i) the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal to the Combination Period from April 19, 2025 to April 20, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors) and (ii) to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem the Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow the Company to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation.
Sponsor Handover
On August 30, 2023, our Sponsors entered into the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, and on August 31, 2023, our Sponsors consummated the Sponsor Handover. Pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, at the Sponsor Handover: (i) the Legacy Sponsor transferred 3,093,036 Founder Shares and 4,645,398 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor; (ii) our Sponsor agreed to cause us to pay an aggregated amount of $300,000 in cash consideration upon closing of the Business Combination at the Legacy Sponsor’s direction to entities or accounts as directed by the Legacy Sponsor (including the repayment of $125,000 under the 2021 Promissory Note); (iii) our Sponsor entered into the Registration Rights Agreement Joinder; (iv) the Legacy Sponsor assigned the Administrative Services Agreement to our Sponsor; (v) Neemuchwala, Burhan Jaffer, Satish Gupta, Steven Freiberg, Deborah C. Hopkins and Bill Owens (collectively, our “Prior Directors and Officers”) resigned, and each member of our management team was appointed by our Sponsor; and (vi) we entered into a letter agreement amendment with the Sponsors and the Prior Directors and Officers.

Extensions of our Combination Period
We initially had until October 19, 2023, 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, to consummate our initial Business Combination.
On October 19, 2023, we held the 2023 EGM, at which our shareholders approved the Charter Amendment Proposals. In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, Public Shareholders holding 16,045,860 Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.54 per Public Share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $169.1 million in the 2023 Redemptions.
On July 18, 2024, we held the 2024 EGM to approve, among other things, the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal. In connection with the vote to approve the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders holding 2,713,143 Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.92 per Public Share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $29.6 million in the 2024 Redemptions.
On April 16, 2025, the Company held the 2025 EGM and the shareholders of the Company approved (i) the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal to the Combination Period from April 19, 2025 to April 20, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors) and (ii) to eliminate the Redemption Limitation. In connection with the vote to approve the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders holding 2,370,619 Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result of the 2025 Redemptions, approximately $26.7 million (approximately $11.25 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
We may seek to further extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws and regulations by amending our Amended and Restated Charter. Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization. See the 2025 Proxy Statement for additional information about the further extension of our Combination Period.
Business Combination with EEW
On September 5, 2024, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with the Purchaser Representative, EEW, the Sellers, the Seller Representative and, upon execution of joinders thereto, Pubco and Merger Sub.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into our Company, with our Company continuing as the surviving entity, and as a result of the Merger, (i) we shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of our Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco, (b) Pubco shall acquire all of EEW Ordinary Shares from the Sellers in exchange for newly issued ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.0001 per share, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act and the laws of England and Wales, and any outstanding convertible securities of EEW will be terminated; and (c) as a result of the Transactions, our Company and EEW each will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company upon the Closing.

Our entire activity from inception up to June 30, 2025, relates to our formation, Initial Public Offering, the search for a target business and the consummation of an initial Business Combination, such as the Transactions with EEW. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents or investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, which are partially offset by operating expenses and related party administrative expenses. We incur 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 months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $414,138, consisting of $127,120 in loss from operations, of which $97,120 were operating expenses, including $30,000 of administrative expenses with related party and a change in fair value of non-redemption liability of $15,640, and a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $352,602 offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $81,044.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $897,389, consisting of $617,462 in loss from operations, of which $557,462 were operating expenses, including $60,000 of administrative expenses with related party and a change in fair value of non-redemption liability of $127,014, and a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $476,488 offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $323,575.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $475,460, consisting of $669,154 loss from operations, all of which were operating expenses, including $60,000 of administrative expenses with related party, and a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $382,382, offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $639,184.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $362,270, consisting of $783,802 loss from operations, all of which were operating expenses, including $60,000 of administrative expenses with related party, and a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $125,079, offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,271,151.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2025, we had $1,521 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,699,343. To date, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through (i) a payment of $25,000 from the Legacy Sponsor to cover certain expenses on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, (ii) a loan of approximately $195,000 pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note issued to an affiliate of the Legacy Sponsor, (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account, (iv) borrowings under the 2021 Promissory Note, (v) the Polar Capital Investment and (vi) borrowings under the 2024 Promissory Note.
IPO Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, an affiliate of the Legacy Sponsor loaned us an aggregate of up to $250,000 under the IPO Promissory Note. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loans of $195,000 were fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on October 19, 2021. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, holders of our Founder Shares prior to our Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”), the Sponsors or an affiliate of the Initial Shareholders or Sponsors, or certain of our Prior Directors and Officers or current directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
2021 Promissory Note
On December 30, 2021, there was a written agreement put in place for the 2021 Working Capital Loan when we issued the 2021 Promissory Note, an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to GCG, an affiliate of our Legacy Sponsor. The 2021 Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. GCG has the option to convert any unpaid balance of the 2021 Promissory Note into 2021 Note Warrants to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the principal amount of the 2021 Promissory Note so converted divided by $1.50. The terms of any such 2021 Note Warrants will be identical to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had borrowed an aggregate of $125,000 under the 2021 Promissory Note.
2024 Promissory Note
On November 21, 2024, there was a written agreement put in place for the 2024 Working Capital Loan when we issued the 2024 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 to the Sponsor. The 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date on which we consummate an initial Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. If, prior to the Business Combination, the principal balance of the 2024 Promissory Note has not been paid in full, then, at the Sponsor’s option and subject to certain conditions, up to $1,375,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the 2024 Promissory Note may be converted into the 2024 Note Warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $1.50 per 2024 Note Warrant. The 2024 Note Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The 2024 Note Warrants and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the 2024 Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $1,532,122 and $1,115,000, respectively, outstanding under the 2024 Promissory Note.

Polar Capital Investment
On September 6, 2023, we entered into the Polar Subscription Agreement with Polar and the Sponsor, pursuant to which Polar agreed to make the Polar Capital Investment to us of up to $1,500,000. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had drawn $1,250,000 and $500,000 under the Polar Capital Investment, respectively, that was fair valued at $227,273 and $90,909, respectively. For more information on the Polar Subscription Agreement and Polar Capital Investment, see “Investor Subscription Agreement” below.
Demand Deposit Account Transfer
On October 19, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Citibank, N.A., with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.
Going Concern
Based on the foregoing, we believe that we may not have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through the consummation of a Business Combination. Over this period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, operating costs, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination, paying for travel expenditures and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have until April 20, 2026 to consummate a Business Combination, unless our Combination Period is further extended. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time and lack the financial resources to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of our Company. We cannot provide any assurance that (i) new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or (ii) that our plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. We have determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.
Contractual Obligations
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on October 14, 2021, and until completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company may reimburse the Sponsors up to an aggregate amount of $10,000 per month for office space and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. Per the Administrative Services Agreement, it is at the Company’s option as to whether or not to pay this administrative fee. The Legacy Sponsor assigned the Administrative Services Agreement to the Sponsor on August 31, 2023, in connection with the Sponsor Handover. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the total administrative expenses were $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. There was $30,000 and $60,000 paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $220,000 and $160,000, respectively, accrued, but not paid.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any 2021 Note Warrants and 2024 Note Warrants (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. On August 31, 2023, the Sponsor executed the Registration Rights Agreement Joinder in connection with the Sponsor Handover.
Underwriting Agreement
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters were granted the Over-Allotment Option to purchase up to 3,000,000 Over-Allotment Units, if any. On November 30, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,240,488 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Over-Allotment Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $12,404,880 to us.
The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,000,000 (or $4,600,000 if the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full) pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement we entered into in connection with the Initial Public offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of three and half percent (3.50%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $7,000,000 (or $8,050,000 if the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full). The deferred fees were to become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
| 25 |
On August 11, 2023 and August 14, 2023, we received formal confirmations from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, informing us of their decisions to waive any entitlement they may have to their deferred underwriting fees payable held in the Trust Account with respect to any Business Combination.
Investor Subscription Agreement
On September 6, 2023, we entered into the Polar Subscription Agreement with the Sponsor and Polar, pursuant to which Polar agreed to fund up to $1,500,000 to us, subject to certain funding milestones. Once we have reached a defined milestone, upon on at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice, the Sponsor may require a drawdown against Polar’s capital commitment, a Polar Capital Investment, in order to meet the Sponsor’s commitment to us under a drawdown request. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had drawn $1,250,000, on the Polar Capital Investment that was fair valued at $227,273. The Polar Capital Investment will be repaid to Polar by us upon the closing of an initial Business Combination. Polar may elect to receive such repayment (i) in cash or (ii) in Class A Ordinary Shares at a rate of one Class A Ordinary Share for each ten dollars of the Polar Capital Investment. In the event we liquidate without consummating a Business Combination, any amounts remaining in our cash accounts (excluding the Trust Account) will be paid by us to Polar within five (5) calendar days of the liquidation, and such amounts will be the sole recourse for Polar.
Letter Agreement
Our Sponsors, former and current directors and officers have entered into by the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsors, former and current directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Non-Redemption Agreements
Between October 9, 2023 and October 19, 2023, we entered into the 2023 Non-Redemption Agreements with the Sponsor and unaffiliated third-party investors in exchange for such investors agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 4,998,734 Public Shares in connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals at the 2023 EGM. In exchange for these commitments not to redeem such Public Shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of 749,810 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor promptly following the closing of the Business Combination (but no later than two business days after the satisfaction of the requisite conditions to such transfer).
We estimated the aggregate fair value of the 749,810 Founder Shares attributable to such investors pursuant to the 2023 Non-Redemption Agreements to be $3,444,008 or on a weighted average of $4.59 per share, which is estimated by taking into consideration the estimated probability of the consummation of a Business Combination, estimated concessions and estimated cost of carrying charges to eliminate the investors’ exposure to changes in the price of their Founder Shares. The fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an expense in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T, “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)” (the “SAB 5T”).
Between July 15, 2024 and July 18, 2024, the Company entered into agreements with the Sponsor and unaffiliated third-party investors exchange for such investors agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 2,475,000 Public Shares in connection with the vote to approve the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal at the 2024 EGM. In exchange for these commitments not to redeem such Public Shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of (i) 412,498 Founder Shares for the first five (5) months of the extension of the Combination Period from July 19, 2024 to December 19, 2024 and (ii) 82,498 Founder Shares per month, for each month of the extension of the Combination Period from December 19, 2024 until April 19, 2025, as needed. The Founder Shares to be transferred to such investors pursuant to the 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements are held by the Sponsor and are to be transferred in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. In connection with its entry into the 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements, the Company agreed that, in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, it will only utilize up to $50,000 of funds from the accrued interest of the Trust Account to pay any dissolution expenses if it does not effect a Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. As of July 15, 2024, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these 742,490 Founder Shares at $4,076,270, or approximately $5.49 per share on a weighted-average basis.
On May 8, 2025, the Company entered into a non-redemption agreement with the Sponsor and an unaffiliated, third-party investor in exchange for such investor agreeing not to redeem 100,000 Public Shares in connection with the vote to approve the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal at the 2025 EGM. In exchange for the commitment not to redeem the 100,000 Public Shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to such investor (i) 20,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and (ii) if the initial Business Combination is not completed by October 19, 2025, an additional 20,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor. As of May 8, 2025, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these 40,000 Founder Shares at $223,000, or approximately $5.56 per share on a weighted-average basis. As of June 30, 2025, pursuant to the various non-redemption agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer 782,490 Class B Ordinary Shares to certain investors on or promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.
| 26 |
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these 782,490 and 742,490 Founder Shares, respectively, at $4,155,022 and $4,028,008, or approximately $5.31 and $5.43 per share, respectively, on a weighted-average basis. The Company considered the estimated probability of the consummation of a Business Combination, estimated concessions and estimated cost of carrying charges to eliminate the investor’s exposure to changes in the price of those Class B Ordinary Shares. The fair value of the Class B Ordinary Shares was determined to be an expense in accordance with SAB 5T and classified as a liability due to the variability in the number of Founder Shares to be transferred, depending on the timing of the Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This section is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. 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 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 differ significantly from those estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of Ordinary Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income is shared pro rata between the two classes of Ordinary Shares. Net loss per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period. We did not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 1,240,488 Ordinary Shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
| 27 |
Warrant Liability
We account for Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the Warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to our own Ordinary Shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of Warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed statements of operations of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption
We account for our Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. Our Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the unaudited condensed balance sheets of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 28 |
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our Management, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. For additional risks relating to our operations, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) Annual Report as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025 and (ii) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
None.
Use of Proceeds
For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.
On October 19, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Citibank, N.A., with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On April 16, 2025, we held the 2025 EGM and our shareholders approved, among other things, the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the Combination Period from April 19, 2025 to April 20, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors). In connection with the vote to approve the 2025 Extension Amendment Proposal, Public Shareholders holding 2,370,619 Public Shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result of the 2025 Redemptions, approximately $26.7 million (approximately $11.25 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
The following table contains monthly information about the repurchases of our equity securities for the three months ended June 30, 2025:
