NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
IB
Acquisition Corp. f/k/a I-B Good Works 4 Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company originally incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7, 2020 and which converted to a Nevada corporation on September 21, 2023 for the purpose of
effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses (the “Business Combination”). On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with
GNQ Insilico Inc., a corporation formed under the federal laws of Canada (“GNQ”). The Company’s investment strategy
is not specific to any sector, however, the management team and board members believe there are compelling investment opportunities in
a number of areas including consumer goods, sports and entertainment, and healthcare technology. The Company anticipates targeting companies
domiciled in North America, Europe and Asia, with an enterprise value of at least $
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2026, relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” as further defined below) and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income on cash and cash equivalents in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 25, 2024. On March 28, 2024, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of units (the “Units”), which includes the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of Units, at a purchase price of $ per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, I-B Good Works 4, LLC (the “Sponsor”), which is an affiliate of I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”). The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Company’s 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 Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.
Transaction
costs amounted to $
The Company must complete its initial Business Combination 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 (as defined below) (excluding any M&A fees (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $ per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (“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 certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

The Company will provide its stockholders 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 stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $ per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including 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. The shares of common stock were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $
If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders, which are holders of the Founder Shares, have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares (as defined below) in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (defined below), Private Placement Shares (defined below) and any Public Shares they hold in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below). In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any Private Placement Shares held by it in favor of the Business Combination.
Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares.
The
Company initially had until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination, and further
extended, as described below, to 30 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination
Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will
The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Underwriters will not receive their M&A fee (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. 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 the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $ per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account 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”), in connection with both our initial public offering and the business combination. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), 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.
On
September 22, 2025, the Company held a Special Meeting, and the stockholders approved the Company’s First Amendment to its Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “First Extension Amendment”).
In
connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding shares of the Company’s shares of common stock exercised their

Business Combination Agreement
On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with GNQ. Under the agreement, and subject to court approval and other closing conditions, GNQ Shareholders will receive the following consideration in exchange for their respective shares of capital stock of GNQ upon completion of the transaction:.
| (i) | For each share of GNQ common stock (the “GNQ Common Shares”) held by eligible electing Canadian shareholders of GNQ (“Electing Shareholders”), the Electing Shareholder will receive a number of exchangeable shares in an indirect, wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of IB Acquisition (the “ExchangeCo Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing by the Fully-Diluted GNQ Common Shares (as defined below) (the “GNQ Exchange Ratio”); and |
| (ii) | For each share of GNQ Common Shares held by all other shareholders of GNQ (“Non-Electing Shareholders”, and collectively with the Electing Shareholders, the “GNQ Shareholders”), such Non-Electing Shareholder will exchange their respective GNQ Common Shares for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “SPAC Class A Common Stock”) equal to the GNQ Exchange Ratio (the “GNQ U.S. Shareholder Exchange” and, together with the other exchanges and subscriptions described above, the “Share Exchanges”). |

The GNQ shareholders party to the Shareholder Support Agreement collectively have a sufficient number of votes to approve the Arrangement.
Sponsor Support Agreement
Contemporaneously with the execution of the BCA, the Company entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Sponsor and GNQ, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed (i) to vote its shares of SPAC Capital Stock in favor of the BCA and each of the Transaction Proposals, and to not transfer such shares, (ii) not to redeem any of its shares of IB Acquisition capital stock in connection with the Transactions, (iii) to waive its anti-dilution rights with respect to its shares of IB Acquisition common stock, under the IB Acquisition amended and restated articles of incorporation, and (iv) to subject certain of its shares of IB Acquisition common stock to additional transfer restrictions and other conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.
Lock-Up Agreement
Prior to the Closing, IB Acquisition will enter into separate Lock-Up Agreements with a number of GNQ shareholders and Sponsor pursuant to which the securities of IB Acquisition and ExchangeCo held by such holders will be locked-up and subject to transfer restrictions for a period of time following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. The lock-up restrictions may terminate upon the occurrence of certain events, including specified trading price thresholds of SPAC Common Stock, as set forth in the Lock-Up Agreements.

Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the United States. The significant provisions of OBBBA include the permanent extension and modification of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including international tax provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented in later years. The Company is evaluating the provisions of OBBBA but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Excise Tax
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2025. The interim results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2026 or for any future periods.
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, 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 stockholder 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 which 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 the Company’s 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 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.

As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested only in U.S. government securities. Investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Interest and dividends earned from investments in these securities are included in the statements of operations.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees, cash underwriting discount, and deferred underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against the carrying value of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and offering costs allocated to Public Rights (as defined in Note 3) were charged to additional paid in capital at the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial business combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Rights) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public Shares classified as temporary equity are the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against retained earnings or additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable shares are affected by charges against retained earnings or additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings.

Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of
June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Stock
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The
calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

NOTE 9. 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 for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews key metrics, which includes general and administrative expenses and interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account which are included in the statements of operations.
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account and general and administrative expenses. The CODM reviews interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder 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 within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the inability to consummate the GNQ Business Combination within the Combination Period; further stockholder redemptions reducing the funds available in the Trust Account; financing shortfalls and the Company’s inability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms; the Company’s going-concern risk and limited cash outside the Trust Account; ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; the complexity of the cross-border and exchangeable-share structure of the proposed Business Combination; dilution from the Bridge Financing, convertible notes, and warrants; and that the other conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 29, 2025.

Overview
We are a blank check company originally formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7, 2020 and which converted to a Nevada corporation on September 21, 2023 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
Business Combination Agreement
On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with GNQ Insilico Inc., a corporation formed under the federal laws of Canada (“GNQ”). Under the agreement, and subject to court approval and other closing conditions, the GNQ Shareholders will receive the following consideration in exchange for their respective shares of capital stock of GNQ:
| (i) | For each share of GNQ common stock (the “GNQ Common Shares”) held by eligible electing Canadian shareholders of GNQ (“Electing Shareholders”), the Electing Shareholder will receive a number of exchangeable shares in an indirect, wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of IB Acquisition (the “ExchangeCo Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 50,000,000 by the Fully-Diluted GNQ Common Shares (as defined below) (the “GNQ Exchange Ratio”); and |
| (ii) | For each share of GNQ Common Shares held by all other shareholders of GNQ (“Non-Electing Shareholders”, and collectively with the Electing Shareholders, the “GNQ Shareholders”), such Non-Electing Shareholder will exchange their respective GNQ Common Shares for shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock equal to the GNQ Exchange Ratio (the “GNQ U.S. Shareholder Exchange” and, together with the other exchanges and subscriptions described above, the “Share Exchanges”). |
| 19 |
In addition, under the BCA and the Arrangement:
| (i) | All outstanding options to purchase shares of GNQ Common Shares (the “GNQ Options”) will be exchanged for options to purchase shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock under the GNQ 2026 Stock Incentive Plan (“Replacement Options”) and such resulting GNQ Common Shares shall be exchanged in the Share Exchanges; |
| (ii) | The GNQ Convertible Notes will be automatically converted into GNQ Common Shares immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time and such underlying GNQ Common Shares shall be exchanged in the Share Exchanges; and |
| (iii) | The GNQ Warrants will be exchanged for shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock (the “GNQ Warrants Exchange”). |
Side Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, GNQ entered into a letter agreement (the “Side Letter Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which GNQ and one or more third-party investors, lenders or financing sources introduced to GNQ by the Company (collectively with the Company, the “Investors”) will lend to GNQ up to US$2,000,000 in one or more tranches in the form of 10% secured convertible promissory notes (“Convertible Notes”) and accompanying common share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) (the “Bridge Financing”). Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, an Investor introduced by the Company funded the initial tranche of US$250,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Side Letter Agreement provides for an additional US$500,000 second tranche to be funded, with subsequent tranches at the Investors’ discretion. The Convertible Notes accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, and mature six months from the date of issuance. At any time while the Convertible Notes remain outstanding, the holders may, at their option, elect to convert all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest owing thereon, into that number of common shares in the capital of GNQ (“GNQ Common Shares”) as is equal to the quotient of (a) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest owing thereon as of the date immediately prior to conversion, divided by (b) a price per GNQ Common Share equal to 80% of the deemed price per GNQ Common Share as adjusted pursuant to the exchange ratio set forth in the BCA (the “Conversion Price”).
Each Convertible Note shall be accompanied by a five-year Warrant to purchase GNQ Common Shares, with the number of GNQ Common Shares determined by dividing (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes by (b) an assumed value for a GNQ Common Share to be agreed upon by the parties based on a discount to the US$10.00 reference value of a share of SPAC Class A Common Stock as set forth in the BCA. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance, provided that, in the event that the Transaction is effected in advance of such expiry date, immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction, the holders may elect to exercise the Warrants into GNQ Common Shares on a cashless basis. The exercise price under the Warrants will be equal to the Conversion Price.
Shareholder Support Agreement
Contemporaneously with the execution of the BCA, the Company, GNQ and certain GNQ shareholders entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the GNQ shareholders party to such agreement agreed (i) to vote their GNQ shares in favor of the Arrangement and other resolutions needed to consummate the Arrangement and the other Transactions, and, subject to limited exceptions, to not transfer such shares, and (ii) to waive, and not to exercise, any dissent rights for GNQ shares in connection with the Arrangement. The GNQ shareholders party to the Shareholder Support Agreement collectively have a sufficient number of votes to approve the Arrangement.
The Shareholder Support Agreement and all of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the Closing, (ii) termination of the BCA pursuant to its terms, and (iii) a GNQ Modification in Recommendation made in connection with a Superior Proposal. Upon such termination of the Shareholder Support Agreement, all obligations of the parties under the Shareholder Support Agreement will terminate; provided, however, that such termination will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of the Shareholder Support Agreement prior to such termination.
Sponsor Support Agreement
Contemporaneously with the execution of the BCA, the Company entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Sponsor and GNQ, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed (i) to vote its shares of SPAC Capital Stock in favor of the BCA and each of the Transaction Proposals, and to not transfer such shares, (ii) not to redeem any of its shares of the Company capital stock in connection with the Transactions, (iii) to waive its anti-dilution rights with respect to its shares of IB Acquisition common stock, under the IB Acquisition amended and restated articles of incorporation, and (iv) to subject certain of its shares of the Company common stock to additional transfer restrictions and other conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.
The Sponsor Support Agreement and certain of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of Closing and termination of the BCA pursuant to its terms and, if the BCA is terminated pursuant to its terms, all provisions of the Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate and be of no further force or effect.
| 20 |
Lock-Up Agreement
Prior to the Closing, the Company will enter into separate Lock-Up Agreements (each a “Lock-Up Agreement”) with a number of GNQ shareholders and Sponsor pursuant to which the securities of the Company and ExchangeCo held by such holders will be locked-up and subject to transfer restrictions for a period of time following the Closing, as described below, subject to certain exceptions. The securities held by such GNQ shareholders will be locked-up until the earlier of: (i) six (6) months after the date of the Closing, and (ii) subsequent to the Closing, the date on which SPAC consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction that results in all of SPAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their SPAC Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; provided, that if the closing trading price of the SPAC Common Stock on the stock exchange on which the SPAC Common Stock is listed exceeds US$12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within any 30-day Trading Day period, then Holder shall have the right to sell 50% of its SPAC Common Stock subject to applicable regulatory restrictions, and if the closing trading price of the SPAC Common Stock on the stock exchange on which the SPAC Common Stock is listed exceeds US$15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within any 30-day Trading Day period, then Holder shall have the right to sell the remaining 50% of its SPAC Common Stock subject to applicable regulatory restrictions.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 7, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2026, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $567,166, which consists of provision for income taxes of $15,222 and general and administrative expenses of $624,429, partially offset by interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $72,485.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $818,610, which consists of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $1,254,202, offset by operational costs of $172,210 and provision for income taxes of $263,382.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $1,265,934, which consists of provision for income taxes of $76,204 and general and administrative expenses of $1,552,606, partially offset by interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $362,876.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $2,549,804, which consists of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $3,875,873, offset by operational costs of $512,136 and provision for income taxes of $813,933.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 28, 2024, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 610,500 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,105,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $7,755,845 consisting of the fair value amount of $3,867,050 related with the issued representative shares, $3,450,000 of cash underwriting discount, and $438,795 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $1,790,904. Net loss of $1,265,934 was affected by the interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $362,876 and change in operating assets and liabilities which provided $162,094 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $1,260,781. Net income of $2,549,804 was affected by the interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $3,875,873 and change in operating assets and liabilities which used $65,288 of cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we held cash and investments held in Trust Account of $8,261,479. The Trust Account can only be invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or interests in 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. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $30,161 and restricted cash of $0. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to 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 funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible, at the option of the lender, into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the private placement units. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Sponsor loaned the Company $500,000 on a non-interest bearing, due-on-demand basis. As of June 30, 2026, the total amount due to Sponsor was $500,000 (see Note 5). Additional Sponsor funding is not committed and is at the Sponsor’s discretion.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $30,161 in cash, $0 in restricted cash and a working capital deficit of $2,190,878. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty by seeking additional Sponsor loans, pursuing third-party financing including through the Bridge Financing and potential PIPE investments, and consummating the Business Combination by September 28, 2026. If the Company is unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination within the Combination Period, which currently expires on September 28, 2026, the Company will be required to cease operations, redeem the Public Shares, and liquidate. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Chief Financial Officer a sum of $5,000 per month commencing on October 1, 2023. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. On January 22, 2024, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer resigned and the Administrative Services Agreement was terminated.
On January 22, 2024, the Company appointed a new Chief Financial Officer and entered into an Administrative Services Agreement dated January 24, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Chief Financial Officer a sum of $5,000 per month commencing at the time of the Initial Public Offering closing. The agreement further specified that upon completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
Under a business combination marketing agreement, the Company engaged I-Bankers to provide marketing services in connection with the Business Combination and will pay I-Bankers a cash fee for such marketing services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (the “M&A fee”) or $4,025,000 in the aggregate. If the Company doesn’t complete a business combination, no fee will be due. In addition, the Company will pay the I-Bankers a finder fee equal to 1.0% of the consideration issued to a target if the business combination is consummated with a target introduced by the I-Bankers.
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 not identified any critical accounting estimates as of June 30, 2026.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
| 23 |
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
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 are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level, due to segregation of duties, lack of supervision and review and limited documentation around controls, and, accordingly, did not provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 24 |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
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. Other than the additional risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 29, 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.
We may not be able to consummate the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement within the Combination Period.
On March 16, 2026, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with GNQ Insilico Inc., as further described in Note 1 to our financial statements. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by our stockholders and by GNQ’s shareholders, the granting of an interim and final order by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List), the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4, listing of the resulting securities on Nasdaq, and our having a minimum of US$5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon Closing (after giving effect to redemptions and any PIPE investments). There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied, or that the Business Combination will be consummated within the Combination Period (as extended), which currently expires on September 28, 2026. If we are unable to consummate the Business Combination or any other initial business combination within the Combination Period, we will be required to liquidate the Trust Account and dissolve, and our public stockholders may receive less than $10.05 per share.
Significant redemptions have substantially reduced the funds available in the Trust Account.
In connection with the special meeting held on March 25, 2026 at which our stockholders approved the Second Extension Amendment, stockholders holding 731,741 shares of our common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash, resulting in approximately $7.9 million being removed from the Trust Account. Following these redemptions, approximately $8.2 million remained in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2026. The reduced amount in the Trust Account may make it more difficult for us to satisfy the minimum net tangible asset and other closing conditions of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination contemplated by the BCA, and may reduce the per-share liquidation value of the Trust Account if we are unable to consummate the Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 28, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. I-Bankers Securities, Inc. and IB Capital LLC acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-275650). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on March 25, 2024.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 610,500 units to I-B Good Works 4, LLC, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,105,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Units are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
| 25 |
A total of $115,575,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option) and the sale of the Private Placement Units were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any shares of common stock included in the Units sold in the IPO properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
Transaction costs amounted to $7,755,845 consisting of the fair value amount of $3,867,050 related with the issued representative shares, $3,450,000 of cash underwriting discount, and $438,795 of other offering costs.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
