In order to effect a Business Combination, the Company owns subsidiary ClimateRock Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdings” or “Pubco”), and its subsidiary ClimateRock Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations.

The Company expects to publish final redemption numbers and amounts within four business days of the 2025B EGM.
Nasdaq Listing
On April 10, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that its Public Shareholders were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). The notifications received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. The Nasdaq rules provide the Company with 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and a compliance period of up to 180 calendar days in which to evidence compliance. The Company submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance on May 28, 2024, and the Nasdaq Staff granted the Company an extension until October 7, 2024 to comply with the Public Holders Requirement.
On October 8, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Staff that, since the Company had not regained compliance with the Public Holders Requirement, its securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Hearing Panel of Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Panel”) by October 15, 2024. On October 15, 2024, the Company submitted a request to appeal to the Nasdaq Panel and the hearing was held on December 10, 2024.
On January 6, 2025, the Nasdaq Panel granted the Company’s request for an exception to the Public Holders Requirement until April 7, 2025, at which time the Company must demonstrate compliance with the Public Holders Requirement. On April 2, 2025, we notified the Nasdaq Panel that we would not be able to close our initial Business Combination by the Nasdaq Panel’s April 7, 2025 deadline.
On April 8, 2025, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Panel indicating that the Nasdaq Panel had determined to delist its securities from Nasdaq and that trading in its securities would be suspended at the open of trading on April 10, 2025, due to the Company’s failure to comply with the terms of the Nasdaq Panel’s earlier decision. Pursuant to such decision, among other things, the Company was required to complete its initial Business Combination by no later than April 7, 2025. Accordingly, the Nasdaq Panel determined to delist the company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company’s public securities were suspended from trading on Nasdaq on April 10, 2025. On July 15, 2025, the Form 25-NSE was filed to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
Following the suspension of trading on Nasdaq, the Units, Public Shares, Public Warrants and Rights have been quoted on the Pink Limited tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbols “CLRCUF,” “CLRCF,” “CLRCWF,” and “CLRCRF”, respectively.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2025, or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 25, 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all
short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, the Company had a cash balance of $
Cash and cash equivalents in Trust Account
The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of the consummation of its first Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee 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 a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are classified as cash equivalents. Gains and losses resulting from the change in the balance of the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account are included in dividend income on the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income earned is fully reinvested into the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flow. Such interest income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination (see Note 1).
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 the accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) 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’ equity. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned and/or dividends on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
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.
Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net loss per share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In order to determine the net loss attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed loss allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed loss is calculated using the total net loss less interest income in Trust Account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed loss ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
The net loss per share presented in the consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
12
CLIMATEROCK
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Description | Level | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Assets: | ||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account | 1 | $ | $ | |||||||
Except for the foregoing, the Company does not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants as equity instruments, so long as the Company continues to meet the accounting requirements for equity instruments.
Rights
Each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of a Business Combination, except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, and even if the holder of such Right redeemed all Ordinary Shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of a Right in order to receive its additional Ordinary Shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by shareholders in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of Ordinary Shares will receive in the transaction on an as-exchanged for Ordinary Shares basis, and each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively exchange its Rights in order to receive the 1/10 share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of a Business Combination. More specifically, the Rights holder will be required to indicate its election to exchange the Right for the underlying shares within a fixed period of time after which period the Rights will expire worthless.
Pursuant to the Rights agreement, a Rights holder may exchange Rights only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. This means that the Company will not issue fractional Ordinary Shares in connection with an exchange of Rights and Rights may be exchanged only in multiples of ten Rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Fractional Ordinary Shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act.
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 Rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a blank check company on December 6, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting an initial Business Combination.
Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial Business Combination, we focus on opportunities in environmental protection, renewable energy, fighting climate change, and any other related industries. We target companies with established operating models that have strong management teams, realigned capital structures, positive cash flows prospects, and a clear and well-defined pathway for growing profitably over the long-term. We are an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2025, we had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2025 relates to the our formation and our Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and post-Initial Public Offering, searching for a target to consummate and consummating an initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate nonoperating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.
The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on April 27, 2022. On May 2, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, including 375,000 Option Units that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, generating gross proceeds of $78,750,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 3,762,500 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor in the Private Placement a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $3,762,500.
26
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 intended to be applied generally toward consummating an initial Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to Management for working capital purposes). We will only complete an initial 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 an initial Business Combination.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering was placed in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to our shareholders, as described below. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee 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 a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of an initial Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) with respect to our pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination unless we provide dissenting Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) 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 an initial Business Combination (or to sell any Ordinary Shares in a tender offer in connection with an initial Business Combination if we do not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if an initial Business Combination is not consummated. However, our Sponsor, directors and officers 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 its initial Business Combination.
Recent Developments
On October 29, 2025, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “2025B EGM”) and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the date by which we would be required to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) from November 2, 2025 to May 2, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2026. We expect to publish final redemption numbers and amounts within four business days of the 2025B EGM.
Extensions of Our Business Combination Period
On April 27, 2023, we held the 2023 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from November 2, 2023 to May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2024 (including prior to May 2, 2023). In connection with the 2023 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 5,297,862 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account in the 2023 Redemptions. As a result, $55,265,334.22 (approximately $10.43 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.

On April 29, 2024, we held the 2024 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from May 2, 2024 to May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2025. In connection with the 2024 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 111,915 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.27 million (approximately $11.37 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
On April 30 and May 1, 2025, we held the 2025 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than November 2, 2025. In connection with the 2025 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 2,016,792 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $24.67 million (approximately $12.23 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
In connection with the 2025 Extension, the Sponsor and its designees agreed to contribute an amount equal to $107,623 ($0.04 per Public Share that is not redeemed), for each calendar month (commencing on May 2, 2025 and ending on the 1st day of each subsequent month) until November 2, 2025 (each, an “Extension Period”). As a result, on June 20, 2025, we issued the 2025 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $107,623 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extension. As of October 28, 2025, one monthly installment of the 2025 Extension Note had been paid, and five monthly installments of approximately $89,686 (not including applicable interest) remained outstanding and still need to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the 2025 Extension.
In addition, we agreed to waive our right to withdraw up to $50,000 of interest accrued on the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses, should we ultimately liquidate prior to an initial Business Combination (the “Dissolution Expense Waiver”). As a result, we will not withdraw up to $50,000 of interest, as permitted by our Amended and Restated Articles, for such dissolution expenses upon liquidation. All interest then-accrued will be held in the Trust Account and will be released to Public Shareholders upon the earliest to occur of (i) the redemption of the Public Shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles, (ii) the completion of our initial Business Combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by November 2, 2025 or such earlier date as determined by our Board.
On October 29, 2025, we held the 2025B EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from November 2, 2025 to May 2, 2026 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2026. We expect to publish final redemption numbers and amounts within four business days of the 2025B EGM.

Founder Share Conversion
On March 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 1,968,749 Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares, on a one-for-one basis in the Founder Share Conversion. The Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Share Conversion, including among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the Founder Share Conversion and the Extension Redemptions, and as of September 30, 2025, there were 2,535,305 Class A Ordinary Shares and one Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding and the Sponsor holds approximately 77.65% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Termination of Proposed Business Combination with EEW
On October 6, 2022, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Pubco, SPAC Merger Sub, and E.E.W. Eco Energy World PLC, a company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“EEW”). On August 3, 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) with Pubco, SPAC Merger Sub and EEW.
On November 29, 2023, we notified EEW that we had elected to terminate the Original Business Combination Agreement effective immediately, pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and 9.2 thereof, since the conditions to the closing of such Business Combination were not satisfied or waived by the outside date of September 30, 2023. As a result, the Original Business Combination Agreement is of no further force and effect, except for certain specified provisions in the Original Business Combination Agreement, which survive its termination and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2025 has been related to our formation and our Initial Public Offering, and we will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate nonoperating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We also expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of becoming a public company (i.e., for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses in search for a target to consummate an initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $487,305, comprised of $57,276 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account offset by formation and operating costs of $514,581 and administrative service fees - related party of $30,000.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported a net income of $172,722, comprised of $368,522 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account offset by formation and operating costs of $165,800 and administrative service fees - related party of $30,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $844,755, comprised of $638,839 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account offset by formation and operating costs of $1,393,594 and administrative service fees - related party of $90,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $409,112, comprised of $1,109,332 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account and interest income of $163 offset by formation and operating costs of $1,428,607 and administrative service fees - related party of $90,000.
Liquidity, Capital Reserves and Going Concern
Initial Public Offering
On May 2, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 Units, including 375,000 Option Units that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we sold 3,762,500 Private Placement Warrants, including 112,500 Private Placement Warrants that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. From the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, we retained approximately $1,100,000 for working capital needs after transfer of proceeds to the Trust Account and payment of expenses related to the Initial Public Offering and directors’ and officers’ insurance. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $6,194 and $14,384 in cash held outside the Trust Account, respectively.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares if $1,500,000 of Working Capital Loans were so converted), at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

We agreed to borrow up to $500,000 from Eternal, an affiliate of our Company through common ownership, to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering.

Gluon Renewable Energies Limited Loan
On November 1, 2024, we entered into a loan agreement with Gluon Renewable Energies for a loan of $20,000 to assist with short term cash demands.

Promissory Notes
On May 2, 2023, we issued the 2023 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $75,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2023 and continuing through May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. Per the 2023 Extension Note, as amended, if we do not repay the 2023 Extension Note within five days of the maturity date, five percent (5%) interest per month will accrue on the unpaid principal balance until the 2023 Extension Note is fully repaid. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2023 Extension Note is par value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2023 Extension Note was $900,000 and $900,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
On April 30, 2024, we issued the 2024 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $50,000 per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2024 and continuing through May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2024 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2024 Extension Note is par value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2024 Extension Note was $600,000 and $400,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
32
On June 20, 2025, we issued the 2025 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $107,623 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $0.04 per unredeemed share per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2025 and continuing through November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2025 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. As of October 28, 2025, one monthly installment of the 2025 Extension Note had been paid ($17,937), and five monthly installments of approximately $89,686 (not including applicable interest) remained outstanding and still need to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the 2025 Extension.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2025, we had a cash balance of $6,194 and a working capital deficit of $7.5 million. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the issuance date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. Prior to consummation of a Business Combination, we have the ability to secure additional funding from the Sponsor or other related parties. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful by November 2, 2025. The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company 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. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to such registration rights.
Underwriting Agreement
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering received a cash underwriting discount of $1,181,250 following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are also entitled to a deferred commission of $2,362,500, which will be payable solely in the event that we complete an initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriters also received 118,125 Units in the Initial Public Offering, with such units restricted from sale until the closing of the initial Business Combination and with no redemption rights from the Trust Account.
Additionally, we granted the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering for a period beginning on the closing of the Initial Public Offering and ending on the earlier of the 12 month anniversary of the closing of an initial Business Combination or April 27, 2025, a right of first refusal to act as (i) exclusive financial advisor in connection with our proposed Business Combinations for a fee of up to 6.0% of the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (subject to our right to allocate up to 50% of such fee to another financial institution or extinguish such amount in our sole discretion), and (ii) sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at the underwriters’ sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt Initial Public Offering, including all equity linked financings, during such period for us or any successor to us or any of our subsidiaries, on terms agreed to by both us and underwriters in good faith.

Transaction Expenses
On May 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement (the “EGS Agreement”) with Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”) to (x) act as U.S. securities council to us in connection with pending acquisition targets for us to acquire consistent with our Initial Public Offering and (y) assist in U.S. securities work related to the initial Business Combination. The fee structure for this agreement is as follows: (i) an upfront retainer of $37,500, (ii) billing on an hourly basis for time, (iii) each month fifty percent (50%) of the amount billed shall be due and owing, (iv) the remaining fifty percent (50%) not paid, on a monthly basis, will be deferred until the closing of the initial Business Combination and will be paid with a twenty percent (20%) premium. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total outstanding billed amount for services provided by EGS was $1,025,267 and $932,285 respectively of which $512,633 and $466,143 (50% of the outstanding balance), is considered outstanding per the terms of the EGS Agreement and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. As the initial Business Combination cannot be deemed probable as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and payment of the deferred portion of the outstanding balance is contingent upon a successful initial Business Combination, no amount was accrued for the deferred portion of the outstanding amount or the premium.
On August 17, 2022, we entered into an agreement (as amended, the “Maxim Letter Agreement”) with Maxim to pay a fee (the “Maxim Success Fee”) upon completion of one or more successful transactions. On October 3, 2022, we amended the Maxim Letter Agreement to state that we will pay to Maxim, upon closing of such successful transaction(s), a fee based upon the amount of cash we have in the Trust Account immediately prior to consummation of the transaction and/or contributed to the transaction. If the amount of such cash is less than $50,000,000, Maxim’s fee will be equal to $200,000 in cash and an additional $150,000 of common stock of the post-transaction Company (the “New Common Stock”). If the amount of such cash is equal to or greater than $40 million, the Maxim Success Fee will be $500,000 cash. If the amount of such cash is equal to or greater than $75 million, the Maxim Success Fee will be $500,000 cash and an additional $500,000 payable in either cash or New Common Stock, at our option. The New Common Stock will be issued to Maxim Partners LLC, will be valued at the same price per share/exchange ratio as in the definitive transaction documentation, and it will have unlimited piggyback registration rights. The Maxim Success Fee will be paid upon the consummation of the transaction.
On July 11, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement with ALANTRA Corporate Finance, S.A.U. (“ALANTRA”) and U.N. SDG Support Holdings LLC (“Sponsor Entity”), under which we engaged ALANTRA to act as our financial advisor for the design, negotiation, and execution of potential Business Combinations between us and one or more energy transition companies. On October 3, 2022, we amended such letter agreement (the “ALANTRA Letter Agreement”).
Under the ALANTRA Letter Agreement, we agreed to pay ALANTRA a retainer of $15,000 at the signing of the ALANTRA Letter Agreement plus a retainer fee of $20,000 per month that is due and payable on the last day of each month for a maximum period of five months. Should the aggregated value of the transaction be above $400,000,000, the retainer fee will increase up to $40,000 per month with the same maximum five-month period for the payment of any retainer fee.
If a transaction that is introduced by ALANTRA or by another institution to which no fees are due by us (e.g. an institution acting on behalf of a target) is completed the following remuneration will be due to ALANTRA as a remuneration for its services (“ALANTRA Success Fee”).
| ● | $1,600,000 payable by us; and |
| ● | $1,600,000 payable by or on behalf of the Sponsor Entity |
34
If a transaction is completed in North America, Asia, or Africa that is not introduced by ALANTRA and such transaction requires an introductory, advisory, or similar fee due by us, we shall pay ALANTRA an ALANTRA Success Fee in the form of:
| ● | For the first $300,000,000 of aggregated value of the transaction, 0.85% of each transaction purchase price; and |
| ● | For the aggregated value of the transaction above the first $300,000,000, 0.4% of each transaction purchase price |
Notwithstanding the above, it is agreed that the ALANTRA Success Fee will be subject to a minimum of EUR 1,000,000.
Each ALANTRA Success Fee shall be payable upon consummation of the applicable transaction (i.e. when the transaction is closed, following fulfillment, if applicable, of conditions precedent) regardless of (i) the calendar for the payment of the price, (ii) how the purchase price is funded, (iii) and any deferred payment subsequent to consummation of the transaction, or (iv) any adjustment to the price of the transaction subsequent to consummation.
On January 4, 2024, we entered into an agreement (the “MZHCI Agreement”) with MZHCI, LLC (“MZHCI”), pursuant to which MZHCI acts as consultant and adviser, to counsel, and inform our designated officers and employees as it relates to pre & post IPO, Business Combination readiness assessment, post transaction close preparation advisory, overall capital markets climate related to global macroeconomic conditions, world-leading exchanges, our competitors, related Business Combinations in the relevant market segments, and other aspects of/or concerning our business about which MZHCI has knowledge or expertise. The MZHCI Agreement became effective upon execution and was active for a period of six months, with automatic renewals every six months thereafter. Prior to our Business Combination, we pay MZHCI $12,000 per month and subsequent to the Business Combination, we shall pay MZHCI $15,000 per month. At the successful close of the initial Business Combination, we will issue MZHCI $120,000 worth of our restricted securities, valued at the closing price on the first day of trading after the successful close of the initial Business Combination.

Accordingly, a total of 93,750 of the Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture on May 2, 2022, and 187,500 of the Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 1,968,750 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.

Promissory Notes
On May 2, 2023, we issued the 2023 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $75,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2023 and continuing through May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. Per the 2023 Extension Note, as amended, if we do not repay the 2023 Extension Note within five days of the maturity date, five percent (5%) interest per month will accrue on the unpaid principal balance until the 2023 Extension Note is fully repaid. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant.

The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering.

Administrative Service Fee
We entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor on April 27, 2022, pursuant to which the Sponsor performed certain services for us for a monthly fee of $10,000. On May 2, 2022, the Sponsor entered into an assignment agreement with Gluon Group, an affiliate of our Company, to provide the services detailed in the Administrative Service Agreement. Per Regnarsson, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the Managing Partner of Gluon.

Advisory Services
On September 21, 2022, we entered into the Gluon Letter Agreement with Gluon to pay the Gluon Transaction Success Fee upon completion of one or more successful transactions.

This means the total remuneration for transactions with a purchase price more than $400,000,001 would be $1,000,000. The transaction purchase price will correspond to the price paid to the sellers of the applicable target, including cash, debt, and equity funded payments. Each Gluon Transaction Success Fee will be payable upon consummation of the applicable transaction, regardless of (i) the calendar for the payment of the purchase price, (ii) how the purchase price is funded, (iii) any deferred payment subsequent to consummation of the transaction, or (iv) any adjustments to the price of the transaction subsequent to consummation. Following payment of the Gluon Transaction Success Fee, any accrued fees payable to the Gluon Group by us will be waived.
38
On October 5, 2022, we agreed with Gluon to lower the Gluon Transaction Success Fee to a total payment of $250,000 upon successful completion of one of more transactions with an aggregate purchase price equal or more than $400,000,000.
In addition, the Gluon Letter Agreement was amended to entitle Gluon, with respect to any financing undertaken by our Company introduced by Gluon during the term of the Gluon Letter Agreement, to the following fees: (i) for a financing involving an issuance of our senior, subordinated and/or mezzanine debt securities, a cash fee payable at any closing equal to two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds received by our Company at such closing; (ii) for a financing involving equity, equity-linked or convertible securities, a cash fee payable at each closing equal to five percent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds received by our Company at such closing.
In addition to the Gluon Transaction Success Fee, we agreed to pay Gluon Group for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing the services for the transactions. In the event of a successful initial Business Combination, Gluon also agreed to waive any accrued fees we owed.
Per Regnarsson, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of our Company, is the Managing Partner of Gluon. Each member of our Board of Directors has been informed of Mr. Regnarsson’s material interest in the Gluon Letter Agreement, and upon the approval and recommendation of our Audit Committee, our Board of Directors determined that the Gluon Letter Agreement is fair and in our best interests and voted to approve the Gluon Letter Agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) 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’ equity. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned and/or dividends on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In order to determine the net loss attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed loss allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed loss is calculated using the total net loss less interest income in Trust Account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed loss ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

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.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Certifying Officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2025, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in the Explanatory Note and in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 25, 2025. In addition, in the course of preparing the financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the under accrual of legal fees.
Management is redesigning and implementing existing and additional controls to remediate these material weaknesses. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses and management’s assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2025, management believes that the interim financial statements and footnote disclosures included in this Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
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
Other than as discussed above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
