Miluna Acquisition Corp

6,000,000 Units

Miluna Acquisition Corp is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We have 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period. We have not selected any business combination target, and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, except that we will not pursue a prospective target company based in or having the majority of its operations in the PRC. Throughout this prospectus, “PRC” refers to the People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region and, for the purpose of this prospectus only, excluding Taiwan.

This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one ordinary share of par value of US$0.0001 (each an “ordinary share”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. Only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will not become exercisable until the later of the completion of our initial business combination or 12 months after this registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or our liquidation, as described herein. Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus, we may redeem the warrants for cash once the warrants become exercisable. The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to an additional 900,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any.

Upon the consummation of our initial business combination, we will provide the holders of our outstanding public shares with the opportunity to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or do not vote at all, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account described below, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. See “Prospectus Summary — The Offering — Redemption rights for public shareholders upon consummation of our initial business combination” on page 30 for more information. Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, in connection with any vote held to approve a proposed business combination, a public shareholder who is not our sponsor (as defined below), director or officer, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in this offering without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those shareholders that hold more than 15% of the shares sold in this offering) for or against our initial business combination. See “Prospectus Summary — The Offering — Limitation on redemption rights of shareholders holding 15% or more of the shares sold in this offering if we hold shareholder vote” on page 32 for further discussion on certain limitations on redemption rights.

If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, we may seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination on terms to be specified in the relevant proxy solicitation statement. In the event an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is made (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide our public shareholders the right of redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months following the closing of this offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of our public shareholders, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also require us to provide our public shareholders who are not our sponsor, directors or officers with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. Alternatively, we may opt to distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders, by way of the redemption of their shares and thereafter cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein.

Our sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 1,725,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “insider shares”) for an aggregate of $25,000 (or approximately $0.014 per share) on July 18, 2025, up to 225,000 of which will be surrendered to us for no consideration after the closing of this offering depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. On the same date, our sponsor transferred a total of 80,000 insider shares among our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our three independent directors pursuant to executed share transfer agreements.

The insider shares are identical to the public shares except for with respect to the transfer restrictions, registration rights, redemption rights, liquidating rights, and anti-dilution rights described in more detail under “Prospectus Summary — The Offering — Insider shares and letter agreement” on page 23 and “Description of Securities — Ordinary Shares” on page 153. Our sponsor has also committed to purchasing from us an aggregate of 194,100 units (or up to 203,100 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised) at $10.00 per private unit for a total purchase price of $1,941,000 (or up to $2,031,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised) (the “private units”).

These purchases will take place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of this offering. These private units are identical to the public units sold in this offering, except with respect to certain transfer restrictions and registration rights described under “Prospectus Summary — Our Sponsor, Officers and Directors — Contractual arrangements” on page 10. A portion of the proceeds we receive from these purchases will be placed in the trust account described below. Upon consummation of our offering and the private placement, assuming our sponsor, officers and directors do not purchase additional units or shares, our sponsor will own approximately 1,614,100 ordinary shares immediately after this offering, if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised, or 1,848,100 ordinary shares immediately after this offering if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is fully exercised.

Prior to the consummation of a business combination, there will be no fees, reimbursements or other cash payments paid to our sponsor, officers, directors or their respective affiliates prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is) other than: (i) repayment of an aggregate of up to $350,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor under a promissory note dated June 24, 2025 with our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses prior to our initial public offering upon the closing of this offering; (ii) payment to our sponsor of $10,000 per month from the closing of this offering, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support until the closing of our initial business combination or our liquidation; (iii) repayment of potential working capital loans that may be made by them to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination or the issuance of private units upon the conversion of up to $3,000,000 of such loans at a price of $10.00 per unit; and (iv) reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. For more details, see “Prospectus Summary — Our Sponsor, Officers and Directors — Securities ownership and compensation” on page 8 and “Prospectus Summary – The Offering – Limited payments to insiders” on page 26.

Potential investors should be aware that there are actual or potential material conflicts of interest between (i) our sponsor, officers, directors, promotors and their respective affiliates and (ii) our unaffiliated security holders with respect to determining whether to proceed with a de-SPAC transaction and the manner in which we compensate our sponsor, officers, directors, promotors and their respective affiliates. Because of the financial and personal interests described in more detail under “Prospectus Summary — Our Sponsor, Officers and Directors — Conflicts of interest” on page 12, our sponsor, officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination and the terms on which we will complete such business combination, and they may be incentivized to (i) pursue a target company that has a less favorable risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but would be easier, quicker and more certain to guide through the business combination process over a target company that has a better risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but may take a longer time to diligence and go through the business combination process, or (ii) effect our initial business combination with less desirable terms and conditions in order to complete a business combination within the required period, both of which could cause our public shareholders to experience a negative rate of return or lose significant value on their shares of the combined company. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise because our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, and, as described in “Management — Conflicts of Interest” on page 143, certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities. If our officers and directors are required to devote more substantial amounts of time to their other business affairs or present a business combination opportunity to such entities, including other SPACs or other entities that may have acquisition objectives that are similar to ours, our ability to consummate our initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected. For more details on related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — The financial and personal interests of our sponsor, officers and directors may influence their motivation in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination” on page 53, “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — We may acquire a target business that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates” on page 56, “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — We are not required to obtain a fairness opinion unless our board is unable to independently determine the fair market value of a target business or businesses. Consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our company from a financial point of view” on page 57, “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — Our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following a business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous” on page 57, “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses, including those that are similar in nature to ours, thereby potentially limiting the amount of time they devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination” on page 51, “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities —Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented” on page 53 and “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented” on page 52.

Because the insider shares were issued at a nominal price of approximately $0.014 per share, our public shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units. Further, the ordinary shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the insider shares may result in material dilution to our public shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of our insider shares, which may result in an issuance of additional ordinary shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities — There will be significant dilution to the implied value of your public shares upon the consummation of our initial business combination” on page 35 and “Dilution” on page 97. The following table illustrates the difference between the public offering price per unit and our net tangible book value per share, as adjusted to reflect various potential redemption levels that may occur in connection with the closing of our initial business combination, which we refer to as Adjusted NTBVPS, on a pro forma basis to give effect to this offering and the issuance of the private units, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option and exercise of the over-allotment option in full. Adjusted NTBVPS excludes the effect of the consummation of our initial business combination or any related transactions or expenses.

The following table assumes: Scenario A) 25% of our public shares are redeemed, Scenario B) 50% of our public shares are redeemed, Scenario C) 75% of our public shares are redeemed, and Scenario D) 100% of our public shares are redeemed.

Of the proceeds we will receive from this offering and the sale of the private units, $60,000,000, or $69,000,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($10.00 per unit or 100% of the gross proceeds of the offering in either case), will be deposited into a United States-based trust account established by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and maintained by Lucky Lucko, Inc. d/b/a Efficiency (“Efficiency”) acting as trustee. Except for interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination within the required period; (ii) our redemption of public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination within the required period; (iii) our redemption of public shares in connection with an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of public shareholders; and (iv) our liquidation.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our units, ordinary shares or warrants. We intend to apply to have our units listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “MMTXU,” on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq and this offering is contingent upon receiving Nasdaq listing approval. We expect the ordinary shares and warrants comprising the units to begin separate trading on the 52^nd day following the date of this prospectus unless D. Boral Capital LLC (“DBC”), the representative of the underwriters, informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions as described further herein. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, we expect that the ordinary shares and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “MMTX” and “MMTXW,” respectively.

We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 39 for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities. Investors will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings.

Immediately after this offering, our sponsor, a British Virgin Islands company that is under the sole control of Mr. Shang Ju Lin, a citizen and resident of Taiwan, will beneficially own 21.30% of our issued and outstanding shares (assuming that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised and that our sponsor does not purchase additional units or shares) . Therefore, after completion of the offering we do not expect that Nasdaq will consider us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. For more information, see “Principal Shareholders” on page 149. Additionally, we may be considered a “foreign person” under the rules promulgated by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) and may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as CFIUS and may be ultimately prohibited. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited. For more details on related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities —Were we to be considered to be a “foreign person,” we might not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the CFIUS, or ultimately prohibited” on page 41.

Additionally, our sponsor has engaged ARC Group Limited, an affiliate of ARC Group Securities LLC, to provide financial advisory services in connection with this offering. These services include market analysis, positioning, financial modeling, organizational structuring, and capital requirement assessments, as well as support throughout the public offering process, including assistance with the preparation of financial information and statements. According to the engagement letter and its amendment, between our sponsor and ARC Group Limited, dated May 22, 2025 and August 20, 2025 respectively, ARC Group Limited has received $200,000 compensation in cash for its services and will receive a further $100,000 compensation in cash for its services upon the successful completion of the offering and will be reimbursed for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $10,000, and such cash compensation will not result in a material dilution of your equity interest. Additionally, our sponsor will reimburse ARC Group Limited for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of services to our company up to $10,000. There is no actual or potential material conflict of interest between the advisor and any purchaser in the offering as a result of this affiliation.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. For a more complete understanding of this offering, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements. Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus, references to:

Except as specifically provided otherwise, the information in this prospectus assumes that the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this prospectus to our insider shares being forfeited shall mean the surrenders for no consideration of such shares in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

General

We are a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on June 24, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We have 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period.

Our search for a prospective target business will not be limited to any specific geographic region, except that we will not pursue a target company that is based in, or has the majority of its operations in, the PRC. To date, our activities have been limited to organizational matters and preparations related to this offering. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. We may pursue an initial business combination in any industry or sector.

Of the proceeds we will receive from this offering and the sale of the private units, $60,000,000, or $69,000,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($10.00 per unit or 100% of the gross proceeds of the offering in either case), will be deposited into a United States-based trust account established by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and maintained by Efficiency acting as trustee. Except for interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination within the required period; (ii) our redemption of public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination within the required period; (iii) our redemption of public shares in connection with an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share for each one-month extension is deposited into the trust account and provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of public shareholders; and (iv) our liquidation.

In July 2025, Mr. Ya Lu Lin, the brother of Mr. Lin, our chief executive officer and director, founded Lykos International Limited, the sponsor of BoluoC Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: “LBKX”), referred to as “LBKX”, a similarly sized blank check company formed for purposes substantially similar to those of our Company. Additionally, members of our management team (including Mr. Lin) serve as the management team for LBKX. In particular, Mr. Lin currently serves as LBKX’s chief executive officer and director. In addition, our independent directors also serve as independent directors of LBKX. It is possible that LBKX may have priority over us with respect to certain acquisition opportunities until it completes its initial business combination, enters into a contractual agreement that would restrict its ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, or ceases operations and liquidates its trust account. As of the date of this prospectus, LBKX has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination.

In addition, there are no contractual agreements between us, LBKX, our sponsor or its member, or LBKX’s sponsor and its member, regarding allocation of opportunities among us and LBKX. To the extent that our sponsor or any other entity or person affiliated with our sponsor becomes aware of a potential acquisition opportunity, such person or entity has complete discretion, subject to applicable fiduciary duties, as to which blank check company they choose to pursue a business combination. We expect that a determination will be made as to whether us or LBKX would be presented with the opportunity, if at all, based on the circumstances of the particular situation, including but not limited to the relative sizes of the blank check companies (if different) compared to the sizes of the targets, the need or desire for additional financings, amount of time required to complete a business combination, and the relevant experience of the directors and officers involved with a particular blank check company.

Competitive Advantage

We intend to leverage our management team’s extensive network of relationships with corporate executives, private equity, venture and growth capital funds, investment banking firms, and consultants to source, acquire, and support the operations of our business combination target. Our team is comprised of experienced professionals and senior operating executives with decades of collective experience in mergers and acquisitions and operating companies. We believe our Company will benefit from their accomplishments, particularly their current and recent activities in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that we will successfully complete a business combination.

We believe our management team and board of directors offer significant experience in sourcing and analyzing potential acquisition candidates across various industries and on an international scale. Our chief executive officer and chairman, Mr. Shang Ju Lin, is an active participant in capital markets, with over eight years of investment experience and extensive connections to leading global financial institutions, investment banks, funds, and accredited investors. Our chief financial officer and director, Mr. Daniel Albert Mace, brings comprehensive financial expertise and experience in investment and financial operations, having previously served as an audit partner at Baker Tilly US, LLP and Henry & Horne LLP, where he participated in financial reporting and compliance consulting. Our independent director, Mr. Luhuan Zhong, has served as a consultant for Venus Acquisition Corporation, Greenland Acquisition Corporation, and Longevity Acquisition Corporation, assisting SPAC management teams with research, analysis, and business acquisitions. He also previously worked with the quality control division at Haitong Securities Co., Ltd., reviewing investment portfolios for the firm.

Additionally, our sponsor has engaged ARC Group Limited, an affiliate of ARC Group Securities LLC, to provide financial advisory services in connection with this offering. These services include market analysis, positioning, financial modeling, organizational structuring, and capital requirement assessments, as well as support throughout the public offering process, including assistance with the preparation of financial information and statements. According to the engagement letter and its amendment, between our sponsor and ARC Group Limited, dated May 22, 2025 and August 20, 2025 respectively, ARC Group Limited has received $100,000 compensation in cash for its services and will receive a further $100,000 compensation in cash for its services upon the successful completion of the offering and will be reimbursed for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $10,000, and such cash compensation will not result in a material dilution of your equity interest. There is no actual or potential material conflict of interest between the advisor and any purchaser in the offering as a result of this affiliation.

We believe that the robust platform, resources, and expertise of our management team and sponsor provide us with broad opportunities to identify high-quality target businesses. However, there is no assurance that our management team will remain with the company following an acquisition. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. Moreover, despite the competitive advantages we believe we possess, we will face significant competition in identifying and executing a business combination, which may also impact the attractiveness of the acquisition terms that we are able to negotiate with potential targets.

Opportunity & Acquisition Target Criteria

We may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location. In addition, we will not pursue a prospective target company based in or having the majority of its operations in the PRC. We aim to leverage the ability of our officers, directors, and sponsor affiliates to identify and acquire a business that is consistent with their experience.

In evaluating prospective target businesses, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important. While we expect to prioritize acquisition opportunities that meet these criteria, we may ultimately enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not.

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant. We may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, and in the event we do so, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our shareholder communications related to our initial business combination, which, as discussed in this prospectus, would be in the form of proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents that we would file with the SEC.

In addition, there are no contractual agreements between us, LBKX, our sponsor or its member, or LBKX’s sponsor and its member, regarding allocation of opportunities among us and LBKX. To the extent that our sponsor or any other entity or person affiliated with our sponsor becomes aware of a potential acquisition opportunity, such person or entity has complete discretion, subject to applicable fiduciary duties, as to which blank check company they choose to pursue a business combination. We expect that a determination will be made as to whether us or LBKX would be presented with the opportunity, if at all, based on the circumstances of the particular situation, including but not limited to the relative sizes of the blank check companies (if different) compared to the sizes of the targets, the need or desire for additional financings, amount of time required to complete a business combination, and the relevant experience of the directors and officers involved with a particular blank check company.

Our sponsor is a British Virgin Islands company limited by shares, which was recently formed to invest in our company. Although our sponsor is permitted to undertake any activities permitted under British Virgin Islands law and other applicable law, our sponsor’s business is focused on investing in our company.

Immediately after this offering, our sponsor will beneficially own 1,614,100 or 20.98% of our issued and outstanding shares (assuming that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised and that our sponsor does not purchase additional units or shares). See “— Securities ownership and compensation” below on page 7.

The sponsor, its affiliates and promoters do not have any material roles or responsibilities in directing and managing our company’s activities. In addition, pursuant to the letter agreement, our officers and directors have agreed that we shall not enter into a definitive agreement regarding a proposed business combination without the prior written consent of the sponsor.

As described in “Management — Conflicts of Interest,” certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities. In particular, certain of our officers are an officer and/or director of LBKX, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman corporation for the purpose of effecting its own initial business combination. Such officers and directors owe fiduciary duties under Cayman law to LBKX, which has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for a director or officer, on the one hand, and the company, on the other. except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director or officer shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the company or its members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a member, director and/or officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for one or more entities to which he or she has fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties, including LBKX, he or she will honor these obligations and duties to present such business combination opportunity to such entities, and only present it to us if such entities reject the opportunity and he or she determines to present the opportunity to us. For a more detailed description of the pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations of our officers and directors, and the potential conflicts of interest that such obligations may present, see “Management — Conflicts of Interest.”

Prior and Concurrent SPAC Experience

In July 2025, Mr. Ya Lu Lin, the brother of Mr. Lin, our chief executive officer and director, founded Lykos International Limited, the sponsor of LBKX, a similarly sized blank check company formed for purposes substantially similar to those of our Company. Additionally, members of our management team (including Mr. Lin) serve as the management team for LBKX. In particular, Mr. Lin currently serves as LBKX’s chief executive officer and director. In addition, our independent directors also serve as independent directors of LBKX. It is possible that LBKX may have priority over us with respect to certain acquisition opportunities until it completes its initial business combination, enters into a contractual agreement that would restrict its ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, or ceases operations and liquidates its trust account. As of the date of this prospectus, LBKX has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination.

Our independent director, Mr. Luhuan Zhong, serves as the chief financial officer of FSHP, a Cayman Islands exempted company formed to effect a merger, share exchange, assets acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. FSHP completed its $69 million initial public offering on Nasdaq in June 2024. In October 2024, FSHP entered into a merger agreement for a proposed business combination with Great Rich Technologies Limited, and in February 2025, the parties agreed to extend the completion date of this transaction to August 28, 2025. Mr. Zhong has served as FSHP’s chief financial officer since February 2021 and is responsible for overseeing its financial operations. Mr. Zhong owes fiduciary duties to FSHP in his capacity as its chief financial officer. Additionally, Mr. Zhong has significant prior SPAC consulting experience. He served as a consultant to Venus Acquisition Corporation from February 2021 to December 2022, Longevity Acquisition Corporation from October 2019 to February 2021, and Greenland Acquisition Corporation from October 2018 to October 2019, where he assisted management teams with research, analysis and the execution of business acquisitions.

Securities Ownership and Compensation

The following table sets forth the payments received or to be received by our sponsor, its affiliates, from us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and the securities issued and to be issued by us to our sponsor and its affiliates. The insider shares are identical to the public shares except for with respect to the transfer restrictions, registration rights, redemption rights, liquidating rights, and anti-dilution rights described in more detail under “— The Offering — Insider shares and letter agreement” and “Description of Securities — Ordinary Shares.” These private units are identical to the public units sold in this offering, except with respect to certain transfer restrictions and registration rights described under “— Contractual arrangements.”

Because the insider shares were issued at a nominal price of approximately $0.014 per share, our public shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units. Further, the ordinary shares issuable in connection with the insider shares may result in material dilution to our public shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of our insider shares, which may result in an issuance of additional ordinary shares.

In the event that following this offering we obtain working capital loans from our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates to finance transaction costs related to our initial business combination, the lender has the option to convert up to $3,000,000 of such loans into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit prior to or upon the consummation of our initial business combination. The conversion price for such working capital loans may potentially be significantly less than the market price of our shares at the time the lender elects to convert its working capital loans into private units. Further, the issuance of additional ordinary shares underlying these units will increase the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares, result in a material dilution to the equity interests of our public shareholders and reduce the value of our public shares, which could make it more difficult to effect a business combination or obtain future financing.

The following table sets forth information (i) with respect to our initial shareholders, who hold our insider shares, and the public shareholders, and (ii) that was used to determine the net tangible book value per share, as presented in this section and assumes no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and the corresponding forfeiture of 225,000 insider shares held by our sponsor:

Assuming the full exercise of the over-allotment option and that our sponsor, officers and directors do not purchase additional units or shares, the table below sets forth the shareholding information with respect to our initial shareholders and the public shareholders:

The following table assumes: Scenario A) 25% of our public shares are redeemed, Scenario B) 50% of our public shares are redeemed, Scenario C) 75% of our public shares are redeemed, and Scenario D) 100% of our public shares are redeemed.

Contractual Arrangements

Pursuant to a letter agreement with us, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (i) to waive any right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares beneficially owned or to be owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether acquired before, in, or after the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) (or to sell such shares to our company in a tender offer), (ii) to waive any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the trust account (“Claim”) they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with us and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the required period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, (iii) to vote all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them (whether acquired before, in, or after this offering) in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction), and (iv) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to our pre-business combination activities unless we provide public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their ordinary shares for cash upon such approval in accordance with such our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

In addition, in the event of the liquidation of the trust account, our sponsor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless our company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the trust account below $10.00 per share and provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account.

Additionally, the sponsor has entered into an Administrative Support Agreement with us, pursuant to which we will pay to our sponsor $10,000 per month for certain utilities and secretarial and administrative support as may be reasonably required by the Company that the sponsor shall make available, or cause to be made available, to our company or successor until the closing of our initial business combination or our liquidation. Pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement, the sponsor has waived (i) any Claim in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it out of, the trust account as a result of, or arising out of, the agreement and (ii) any Claim it may have in the future, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the trust account or any monies or other assets in the trust account, and agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the trust account or any monies or other assets in the trust account for any reason whatsoever.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we, our sponsor and our executive officers and directors have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of the representative, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any units, warrants, ordinary shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any units, ordinary shares, insider shares or warrants, subject to certain exceptions. The representative in their discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice, other than in the case of the officers and directors, which shall be with notice. Our sponsor, officers and directors are also subject to separate transfer restrictions on their insider shares and private placement units pursuant to the letter agreement described herein. See “Underwriting”.

As of the date of this prospectus, there is no agreement, arrangement, or understanding, including any payments, between the sponsor and our unaffiliated security holders regarding the redemption of our outstanding securities.

Conflicts of Interest

Potential investors should be aware that there are actual or potential material conflicts of interest between (i) our sponsor, officers, directors, promotors and their respective affiliates and (ii) our unaffiliated security holders with respect to determining whether to proceed with a de-SPAC transaction and the manner in which we compensate our sponsor, officers, directors, promotors and their respective affiliates. Because of the financial and personal interests described below, our sponsor, officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination and the terms on which we will complete such business combination, and they may be incentivized to (i) pursue a target company that has a less favorable risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but would be easier, quicker and more certain to guide through the business combination process over a target company that has a better risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but may take a longer time to diligence and go through the business combination process or (ii) effect our initial business combination with less desirable terms and conditions in order complete a business combination within the required period, both of which could cause our public shareholders to experience a negative rate of return or lose significant value on their shares of the combined company. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

We cannot assure you that any of the conflicts mentioned above will be resolved in our favor. Other than the payments described above, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed pursuant to the letter agreement that they and their affiliates will not receive and will not accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

Enforceability of Civil Liability

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and administered from outside the United States, and a majority of our assets will be located within the United States after this offering. Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, the Companies Act, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands.

The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands, as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are considered persuasive authority but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

There is uncertainty as to whether the Cayman Islands courts would:

We have been advised by Harney Westwood & Riegels that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will at common law enforce final and conclusive in personam judgments of state and/or federal courts of the United States of America, or the “Foreign Court”, of a debt or definite sum of money against the company (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature, a fine or other penalty (which may include a multiple damages judgment in an anti-trust action) or where enforcement would be contrary to public policy). The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may also at common law enforce final and conclusive in personam judgments of the Foreign Court that are non-monetary against the company, for example, declaratory judgments ruling upon the true legal owner of shares in a Cayman Islands company. The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will exercise its discretion in the enforcement of non-money judgments by having regard to the circumstances, such as considering whether the principles of comity apply. To be treated as final and conclusive, any relevant judgment must be regarded as res judicata by the Foreign Court. A debt claim on a foreign judgment must be brought within six years of the date of the judgment, and arrears of interest on a judgment debt cannot be recovered after six years from the date on which the interest was due. The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the Foreign Court under civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law if such a judgment is found by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Such a determination has not yet been made by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. A court of the Cayman Islands may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. A judgment entered in default of appearance by a defendant who has had notice of the Foreign Court’s intention to proceed may be final and conclusive notwithstanding that the Foreign Court has power to set aside its own judgment and despite the fact that it may be subject to an appeal the time-limit for which has not yet expired. The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may safeguard the defendant’s rights by granting a stay of execution pending any such appeal and may also grant interim injunctive relief as appropriate for the purpose of enforcement.

In addition, it may be difficult for you to effect service of legal process against us, or our officers and directors who reside outside the United States (namely, Shang Ju Lin, Luhuan Zhong, Ya Ting Lee, and Mei Chi Tsai). There is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the U.S. and the PRC or Taiwan providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts. Foreign judgments obtained in the United States may still be recognized and enforced in the PRC or Taiwan courts through principles for the recognition of foreign judgments under common law. However, there are specific conditions that must be met for these foreign judgments to be enforceable. These constraints may impact both the cost and time associated with legal proceedings in the PRC or Taiwan.

Potential Additional Financings

We may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our trust account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our public shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our public shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Further, as described above, due to the anti-dilution rights of our initial shares, our public shareholders may incur material dilution. In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private units, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the trust account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination.

We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial business combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial business combination. These financing transactions are typically designed to ensure a return on investment to the investor in exchange for assisting the Company in completing the business combination or providing sufficient liquidity to the combined company. The price of the shares we issue may therefore be lower, and potentially significantly lesser, than the market price for our shares at such time. These financing transactions may be significantly dilutive to the combined company, and represent the type of financing risk that is not associated with traditional initial public offerings. Any such additional financing, including issuance of equity or convertible securities, may significantly dilute the interests of our public shareholders. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following consummation of this offering. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Effecting Our Initial Business Combination

We will have until 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period. If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, we will seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination on terms to be specified in the relevant proxy solicitation statement. In the event an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is made (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide our public shareholders the right of redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months following the closing of this offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of our public shareholders, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also require us to provide our public shareholders who are not our sponsor, directors or officers with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. Such amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may include limitations on the duration of the extension, the number of possible extensions, requirements for additional payments to the trust in connection with an extension, and other potential terms for consideration by our shareholders. There is no limit on the number of extensions that we may seek; however, we do not expect to extend the time period to consummate our initial business combination beyond 36 months from the closing of this offering. If we determine not to or are unable to extend the time period to consummate our initial business combination or fail to obtain shareholder approval to extend the completion window, our sponsor’s investment in our founder shares and our private placement units will be worthless.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering (subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18 month period), or by such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, from the closing of this offering, we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders, by way of the redemption of their shares and thereafter cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein. In such an event, the insider shares and private units held by our sponsor, officers and directors would be worthless and they will lose their entire investment, except to the extent they receive liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, because (A) they have agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with us, to (i) waive any right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares beneficially owned or to be owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO (or to sell such shares to our company in a tender offer), (ii) waive any and all Claims with respect to their insider shares and private shares any Claim they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with us and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the required period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, and (iii) subject their insider shares, ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof and the private units and their component securities to the aforementioned transfer restrictions; and (B) the sponsor will not receive any funds for the warrants part of its private units and these warrants will expire worthless.

In addition, if a business combination is not consummated, any working capital loans we obtain from our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates to finance transaction costs related to our initial business combination will not be repaid except to the extent that we have funds available outside of the trust account, and our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination.

We will either (i) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or abstain from voting, into their pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable) or (ii) provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our initial shareholders have agreed, pursuant to written letter agreements with us, not to redeem any public shares held by them into their pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our proposed business combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. If we choose and we are legally permitted to do so, we will have the flexibility to avoid a shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.

Nasdaq rules provide that our 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 balance in the trust account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test. If the business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% fair market value test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. If our securities are not listed on Nasdaq after this offering, we would not be required to satisfy the 80% requirement. However, we intend to satisfy the 80% requirement even if our securities are not listed on Nasdaq at the time of our initial business combination.

We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction 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. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity securities of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.

Status as a Publicly Listed Company

We believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to prospective target businesses. As a publicly listed company, we will offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering. We believe that target businesses will favor this alternative, which we believe is less expensive, while offering greater certainty of execution than the traditional initial public offering. During an initial public offering, there are typically expenses incurred in marketing, which would be costlier than a business combination with us. Furthermore, once a proposed business combination is approved by our shareholders (if applicable) and the transaction is consummated, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better aligned with shareholders’ interests than it would as a private company. A target business can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented management staffs.

Strong Financial Position and Flexibility

With a trust account initially in the amount of $60,000,000 (or $69,000,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), we can offer a target business a variety of options to facilitate a business combination and fund future expansion and growth of its business. This amount assumes no redemptions. Because we are able to consummate a business combination using the cash proceeds from this offering, our share capital, debt or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use an efficient structure allowing us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to address the needs of the parties. However, if a business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay for the purchase price, we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business combination. Since we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing. Accordingly, our flexibility in structuring a business combination may be subject to these constraints.

The Offering

In making your decision on whether to invest in our securities, you should take into account not only the backgrounds of our sponsor, officers and directors, but also the special risks we face as a blank check company and the fact that this offering is not being conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings. You should carefully consider these, and the other risks set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 39 of this prospectus.

Risk Factors Summary

We are a blank check company that has conducted no operations and has generated no revenues. Until we complete our initial business combination, we will have no operations and will generate no operating revenues. In making your decision on whether to invest in our securities, you should take into account not only the background of our officers and directors, but also the special risks we face as a blank check company, as well as the fact that this offering is not being conducted in compliance with Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act and, therefore, you will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings. For additional information concerning how Rule 419 blank check offerings differ from this offering, see “Proposed Business— Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check Companies Subject to Rule 419.” You should carefully consider these, and the other risks set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 39 of this prospectus.

Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects that you should consider before making a decision to invest in our ordinary shares. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities

Risks Associated with Acquiring and Operating a Business Outside of the United States

SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA

The following table summarizes the relevant financial data for our business and should be read with our financial statements, which are included in this prospectus. We have not had any significant operations to date, so only balance sheet data are presented.

If no business combination is completed within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, or such later time as our shareholders may approve in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the proceeds then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares. Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive any and all Claims with respect to their insider shares and private shares and any Claim they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with us, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the material risks described below, which we believe represent the material risks related to the offering, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our units. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks described below.

Risks Associated with Our Business and Securities

We are a newly formed blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are a newly formed blank check company with no operating results to date. Therefore, our ability to commence operations is dependent upon obtaining financing through the public offering of our securities. Since we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business. We have not conducted any discussions and we have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective acquisition candidates. We will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.

If we are unable to consummate a business combination, our public shareholders may be forced to wait more than 18 months before receiving liquidation distributions.

We will have 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period. Prior to such date, except for interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination within the required period; (ii) our redemption of public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination within the required period; (iii) our redemption of public shares in connection with an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of public shareholders; and (iv) our liquidation.

Accordingly, investors’ funds may be unavailable to them until after such date and to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your securities potentially at a loss.

Because we are not limited to any particular business or specific geographic location or any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination, you will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations.

We may pursue acquisition opportunities in any geographic region and in any business industry or sector, except that we will not pursue a prospective target company based in or having the majority of its operations in the PRC. Except for the limitations that a target business have a fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account (less any deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable on interest earned) and that we are not permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Because we have not yet identified or approached any specific target business with respect to our initial business combination, there is no basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular target business’s operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition or prospects. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region.

To the extent we consummate our initial business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations with which we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or a development stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or that we will have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business. An investment in our units may not ultimately prove to be more favorable to investors than a direct investment, if such opportunity were available, in an acquisition target.

In order to effectuate an initial business combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and other governing instruments. We may seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or other governing instruments in a manner to make it easier for us to complete our initial business combination, which our shareholders may not support.

In order to effectuate a business combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and governing instruments. For example, blank check companies have amended the definition of business combination, increased redemption thresholds, and extended the time to consummate a business combination. Amending our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will require at least a special resolution of our shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, which requires (i) the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives, at the applicable general meeting of the Company, or (ii) a unanimous written resolution of all of our shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting of the Company in one or more instruments each signed by one or more of the shareholders. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or other governing instruments or extend the time to consummate an initial business combination in order to effectuate our initial business combination.

If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, we may seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination on terms to be specified in the relevant proxy solicitation statement. In the event an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is made (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide our public shareholders the right of redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months following the closing of this offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of our public shareholders, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also require us to provide our public shareholders who are not our sponsor, directors or officers with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

The requirement that we complete an initial business combination within a specific period of time may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating our initial business combination and may limit the amount of time we have to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to consummate our initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.

We have 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, to complete an initial business combination. Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware of this requirement. Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete a business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete a business combination with any other target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the time limits referenced above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

Our ability to consummate an attractive business combination may be impacted by the market for initial public offerings.

If the market for initial public offerings is limited, we believe there will be more attractive target businesses open to consummating an initial business combination with us as a means to achieve publicly held status. Alternatively, if the market for initial public offerings is robust, we believe that there will be fewer attractive target businesses amenable to consummating an initial business combination with us to become a public reporting company. Accordingly, during periods with strong public offering markets, it may be more difficult for us to complete an initial business combination.

We face competition in finding an attractive target for an initial business combination. This could increase the costs associated with completing our initial business combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target.

In recent years, many companies have entered into business combinations with special purpose acquisition companies, and there are still many special purpose acquisition companies seeking targets for their initial business combination, as well as many additional special purpose acquisition companies currently in registration. As a result, at times, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, effort and resources to identify a suitable target for an initial business combination.

In addition, if there are more special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial business combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms. Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination. This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find a suitable target for and/or complete our initial business combination.

Were we to be considered to be a “foreign person,” we might not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the CFIUS, or ultimately prohibited.

Certain investments that involve the acquisition of, or investment in, a U.S. business by a non-U.S. investor may be subject to review and approval by CFIUS. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in “control” of a U.S. business by a foreign person always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. Significant CFIUS reform legislation, which was fully implemented through regulations that became effective on February 13, 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data.”

In addition, if our potential initial business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. Immediately after this offering, our sponsor, a British Virgin Islands company that is under the sole control of Mr. Shang Ju Lin, a citizen and resident of Taiwan, and our officers and directors, all of whom are non-U.S. citizens, except for Mr. Daniel Albert Mace, will collectively own approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding shares (assuming that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised and that our sponsor, officers and directors do not purchase additional units or shares) and 100% of our total insider shares. For more information, see “Principal Shareholders.” In addition, under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders of our insider shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors. As a result, we may be considered a “foreign person.” Except as disclosed herein, we and our sponsor have no other substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. However, if CFIUS has jurisdiction over our initial business combination, CFIUS may decide to make inquiries regarding, block, or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. Moreover, the likelihood of a CFIUS inquiry concerning a potential business combination generally tends to be higher if a transaction involves direct or indirect investment from, or a nexus to, the PRC, and any such inquiry may result in delays or complications for a potential business combination.

If we were considered to be a “foreign person,” foreign ownership and control limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS and similar non-U.S. national security regulators, may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination could be limited and we could be adversely affected in terms of competing with other SPACs that do not have similar foreign ownership and control issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive the redemption value per share (as described herein), and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of other blank check companies subject to Rule 419 of the Securities Act.

Since the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private warrants are intended to be used to complete one or more initial business combinations with a target business or businesses that has not been selected, we may be deemed to be a “blank check” company under the United States securities laws. However, because we will be listed on a national securities exchange meeting certain quantitative requirements set out in Rule 3a51-1(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units will be immediately tradable and we will have a longer period of time to complete our respective initial business combinations than do companies subject to Rule 419.

Moreover, if this offering were subject to Rule 419, that rule would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our completion of an initial business combination. For a more detailed comparison of our offering to offerings that comply with Rule 419, please see “Proposed Business — Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check Companies Subject to Rule 419.”

However, if we are not able to list our ordinary shares on Nasdaq or any other national stock exchange, and if we fail to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000, we may be required to comply with the “penny stock rules” and this could negatively affect the market for our securities and our ability to complete an initial business combination. For a more detailed comparison of this offering to offerings that comply with Rule 419, see “Proposed Business — Comparison of This Offering to Those of Blank Check Companies Subject to Rule 419.”

Trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor. In that case, Nasdaq would delist our securities. The delisting of our securities, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections may deprive our investors with the benefits of such inspections.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2023, the SEC shall prohibit our shares or other securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”) was enacted, which amends the HFCAA and requires the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years.

Our current auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. However, if it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, Nasdaq would delist our securities, including our units, common stocks and rights being offered in this offering, and the SEC shall prohibit them from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. If our securities are delisted and prohibited from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. due to the PCAOB not being able to conduct inspections or full investigations of our auditor, it would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with potential delisting and prohibition would have a negative impact on the price of our securities. Also, such delisting and prohibition could significantly affect the Company’s ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC.

On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB’s Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Rule 6100 provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) mainland China, and (ii) Hong Kong. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (“SOP”), taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely, consistent with U.S law. Pursuant to the SOP, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should the PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. Our auditor, Guangdong Prouden CPAs GP, headquartered in Guangzhou, is an independent registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB and is subject to PCAOB’s inspection on a regular basis. As of the date of the prospectus, our auditor is not subject to any determination as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB. While our auditor is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our Company’s auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in our securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA, and could ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist our securities.

The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCAA. It is unclear when the SEC will complete its rulemaking and when such rules will become effective. The SEC has also announced amendments to various annual report forms to accommodate the certification and disclosure requirements of the HFCAA. There could be additional regulatory or legislative requirements or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. The implications of these possible regulations in addition to the requirements of the HFCAA are uncertain, and such uncertainty could cause the market price of our securities to be materially and adversely affected. If, for whatever reason, the PCAOB is unable to conduct inspections or full investigations of our auditor, the Company could be delisted or prohibited from being traded over the counter earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such delisting and prohibition would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with potential delisting and prohibition would have a negative impact on the price of our securities. Also, such delisting and prohibition could significantly affect the Company’s ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects.

Inspections of audit firms that the PCAOB has conducted have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. If the PCAOB were unable to conduct inspections or full investigations of the Company’s auditor, investors in our securities would be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. In addition, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections or full investigations of auditors would may make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in the audit procedures of our auditor and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

We may issue additional ordinary shares or preferred shares or debt securities to complete a business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our shareholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will authorize the issuance of up to 550 million ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each and 5 million preferred shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. Immediately after this offering, there will be 7,694,100 ordinary shares issued and outstanding (assuming in each case that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option and the forfeiture of 225,000 ordinary shares) leaving 542,305,900 authorized but unissued ordinary shares, available for issuance, which amount does not take into account ordinary shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the public warrants or the exercise of the private warrants.

The ordinary shares have the same rights and privileges, subject to anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, including in certain circumstances in which we issue ordinary shares or equity-linked securities related to our initial business combination. For more information, see “Description of Securities — Ordinary Shares.” Immediately after this offering, there will be no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Although we have no commitment as of the date of this offering, we may issue a substantial number of additional ordinary shares or preferred shares or debt securities, or a combination thereof, to complete a business combination. The issuance of additional ordinary shares or preferred shares:

Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We expect to encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess similar or greater technical, human and other resources to ours or more local industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private warrants, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, we are obligated to offer holders of our public shares the right to redeem their shares for cash at the time of our initial business combination in conjunction with a shareholder vote or via a tender offer. Target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private warrants not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the duration of the completion window, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination, and we will depend on loans from our sponsor or management team to fund our search and to complete our initial business combination.

Of the net proceeds of this offering, only $800,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. We believe that, upon closing of this offering, the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the duration of the completion window; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $541,000, we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. The amount held in the trust account will not be impacted as a result of such increase or decrease. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $541,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate.

Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into private shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive an estimated $10.00 per share, or possibly less, on our redemption of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.

Since we have not yet identified any prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or the obligation to convert into cash (or purchase in any tender offer) a significant number of shares from dissenting shareholders, we will be required to seek additional financing. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share redemption price received by shareholders may be less than $10.00.

Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors and service providers we engage and prospective target businesses we negotiate with execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public shareholders, they may not execute such agreements. Furthermore, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they may seek recourse against the monies held in the trust account. A court may not uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of our public shareholders. If we liquidate the trust account before the completion of a business combination, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us and which have not executed a waiver agreement. However, it may not be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share redemption price from the trust account in such a situation may be less than $10.00, plus interest, due to such claims.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, or if we otherwise enter compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims depleted the trust account, we may not be able to return to our public shareholders at least $10.00 per share.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it were proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was proposed to be made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our officers and directors, who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offense and may be liable to a fine of approximately $18,000 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

If we deviate from the acquisition criteria or guidelines set forth in this prospectus, investors in this offering may have rescission rights or may bring an action for damages against us or we could be subject to civil or criminal actions taken by governmental authorities.

If we were to elect to deviate from the acquisition criteria or guidelines set forth in this prospectus, each person who purchased units in this offering and still held such securities upon learning of the facts relating to the deviation may seek rescission of the purchase of the units he or she acquired in the offering (under which a successful claimant has the right to receive the total amount paid for his or her securities pursuant to an allegedly deficient prospectus, plus interest and less any income earned on the securities, in exchange for surrender of the securities) or bring an action for damages against us (compensation for loss on an investment caused by alleged material misrepresentations or omissions in the sale of a security). In such event, we could also be subject to civil or criminal actions taken by governmental authorities. For instance, the SEC can seek injunctions under Section 20(b) of the Securities Act if it believes a violation under the Securities Act has occurred or is imminent. The SEC can also seek civil penalties under Sections 20(d) and 24 if a party has violated the Securities Act or an injunctive action taken by the SEC or if a party willfully, in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, makes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Furthermore, Section 20 allows the SEC to refer matters to the attorney general to bring criminal penalties against an issuer.

If a public holder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our ordinary shares in connection with our initial business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

We will comply with the tender offer rules or proxy rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection with our initial business combination. Despite our compliance with these rules, if a public shareholder fails to receive our tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, such public shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to our public shareholders in connection with our initial business combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or submit public shares for redemption. For example, we intend to require our public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent, or to deliver their public shares to our transfer agent electronically prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its public shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its public shares may not be redeemed.

Holders of warrants will not have redemption rights if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required period.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required period and we redeem the funds held in the trust account, the warrants will expire and holders will not receive any of such proceeds with respect to the rights.

We have no obligation to net cash settle the warrants.

We will not be obligated to deliver any ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue an ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the ordinary share underlying such unit. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of our ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Efficiency, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this prospectus, or defective provision, (ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants, 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants shall only require our consent and the holders of a majority of the private placement warrants, (b) we may lower the exercise price of the warrants or extend the duration of the exercise period of the warrants without the consent of the registered holders of the warrants, and (c) we may in our sole discretion and at any time allow or require the exercise of the warrants on a “cashless basis” without the consent of any registered holders.

Our warrant agreement will provide a choice-of-forum provision that may limit a warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our warrant agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

Our warrant agreement will provide that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. However, with respect to any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, we note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our warrant agreement will provide that these provisions of the warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in our warrant agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the warrant agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of our warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company and increase a warrant holder’s costs to bring a claim, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our warrant agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

Since we have not yet selected a particular industry or target business with which to complete a business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of the industry or business in which we may ultimately operate.

While we intend to focus our search for target businesses on specific locations and industries as described in this prospectus, we are not limited to those locations and may consummate a business combination with a company in any location or industry we choose. Accordingly, there is no current basis for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate or the target business which we may ultimately acquire. To the extent we complete a business combination with a company in its development stage, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. If we complete a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in this offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a target business.

The target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. Such requirement may limit the type and number of companies with which we may complete such a business combination.

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, the target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. This restriction may limit the type and number of companies with which we may complete a business combination. If we are unable to locate a target business or businesses that satisfy this fair market value test, we may be forced to liquidate and you will only be entitled to receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account.

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange after this offering, we would not be required to satisfy the fair market value requirement described above and could complete a business combination with a target business having a fair market value substantially below 80% of the balance in the trust account.

Our ability to successfully effect a business combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following a business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct.

Our ability to successfully effect a business combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our key personnel, at least until we have consummated our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain with us for the immediate or foreseeable future. In addition, none of our officers are required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, they will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have employment agreements with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our officers . The unexpected loss of the services of our key personnel could have a detrimental effect on us.

The role of our key personnel in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some of our key personnel may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following a business combination, it is likely that some or all of the management of the target business will remain in place or be hired after consummation of the business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct.

These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely affect our operations.

Our officers and directors may not have significant experience or knowledge regarding the jurisdiction or industry of the target business we may seek to acquire.

We may consummate a business combination with a target business in any geographic location or industry we choose. We cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have enough experience or have sufficient knowledge relating to the jurisdiction of the target or its industry to make an informed decision regarding a business combination. If we become aware of a potential business combination outside of the geographic location or industry where our officers and directors have the most experience, our management may retain consultants and advisors with experience in such industries to assist in the evaluation of such business combination and in our determination of whether or not to proceed with such a business combination. However, our management is not required to engage consultants or advisors in any situation. If they do not engage any consultants or advisors to assist them in the evaluation of a particular target business or business combination, our management may not properly analyze the risks attendant with such target business or business combination. Even if our management does engage consultants or advisors to assist in the evaluation of a particular target business or business combination, we cannot assure you that such consultants or advisors will properly analyze the risks attendant with such target business or business combination. As a result, we may enter into a business combination that is not in our shareholders’ best interests.

Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses, including those that are similar in nature to ours, thereby potentially limiting the amount of time they devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination.

Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations and their other commitments.

For example, certain of our directors and our management team are either officers and/or directors of LBKX and owe fiduciary duties to LBKX, which has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination. Accordingly, if such officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for one or more entities to which he or she has fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties, including LBKX, he or she will honor these obligations and duties to present such business combination opportunity to such entities, and may only present it to us if such entities reject the opportunity and he or she determines to present the opportunity to us (including as described above). These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. As a result, there is a material conflict of interest between LBKX and our company as we and LBKX are both engaged in the business of engaging in business combinations. It is possible that LBKX may have priority over us with respect to certain acquisition opportunities until it completes its initial business combination, enters into a contractual agreement that would restrict its ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, or ceases operations and liquidates its trust account. If our officers and directors are required to devote more substantial amounts of time to their other business affairs or present a business combination opportunity to such entities, our ability to consummate our initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected.

We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. All of our officers and directors are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If our officer’s and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination. We cannot assure you these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Following the completion of this offering and until we consummate our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. Our sponsor and its affiliates and our officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business, including other SPACs before we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination.

Our officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties.

In addition, management team, directors and our sponsor are, and/or may in the future become affiliated with other SPACs or other entities that may have acquisition objectives that are similar to ours. For example, certain of our directors and our management team are either officers and/or directors of LBKX and owe fiduciary duties to LBKX, which has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination. Accordingly, if such officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for one or more entities to which he or she has fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties, including LBKX, he or she will honor these obligations and duties to present such business combination opportunity to such entities, and may only present it to us if such entities reject the opportunity and he or she determines to present the opportunity to us (including as described above). These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. As a result, there is a material conflict of interest between LBKX and our company as we and LBKX are both engaged in the business of engaging in business combinations. It is possible that LBKX may have priority over us with respect to certain acquisition opportunities until it completes its initial business combination, enters into a contractual agreement that would restrict its ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, or ceases operations and liquidates its trust account. If our officers and directors are required to devote more substantial amounts of time to their other business affairs or present a business combination opportunity to such entities, our ability to consummate our initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected.

Our management team, directors and our sponsor are also not prohibited from sponsoring, investing or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies, including in connection with their initial business combinations, prior to us completing our initial business combination. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for a director or officer, on the one hand, and the company, on the other. except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director or officer shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the company or its members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a member, director and/or officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

For a more detailed description of the pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations of our officers and directors, and the potential conflicts of interest that such obligations may present, see “Management — Conflicts of Interest.”

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for a director or officer, on the one hand, and the company, on the other. except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director or officer shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the company or its members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a member, director and/or officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to other companies, including other companies that are engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us.

For example, certain of our directors and our management team are either officers and/or directors of LBKX and owe fiduciary duties to LBKX, which has not yet identified a target for a potential business combination. Accordingly, if such officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for one or more entities to which he or she has fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties, including LBKX, he or she will honor these obligations and duties to present such business combination opportunity to such entities, and may only present it to us if such entities reject the opportunity and he or she determines to present the opportunity to us (including as described above). These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. As a result, there is a material conflict of interest between LBKX and our company as we and LBKX are both engaged in the business of engaging in business combinations. It is possible that LBKX may have priority over us with respect to certain acquisition opportunities until it completes its initial business combination, enters into a contractual agreement that would restrict its ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, or ceases operations and liquidates its trust account. If our officers and directors are required to devote more substantial amounts of time to their other business affairs or present a business combination opportunity to such entities, our ability to consummate our initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected.

For a more detailed description of the pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations of our officers and directors, and the potential conflicts of interest that such obligations may present, see “Management — Conflicts of Interest.” Subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands laws, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an acquisition opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations or with which he or she are affiliated, he or she may need to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands laws. As such, a potential target business may be presented by our officers and directors to another entity prior to its presentation to us and we may not be afforded the opportunity to engage in a transaction with such target business. As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors could result in conflicts of interest when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity and materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

The financial and personal interests of our sponsor, officers and directors may influence their motivation in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination.

Pursuant to the letter agreement, our officers and directors have agreed that we shall not enter into a definitive agreement regarding a proposed business combination without the prior written consent of the sponsor. Because of the financial and personal interests described below, our sponsor, officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination and the terms on which we will complete such business combination, and they may be incentivized to (i) pursue a target company that has a less favorable risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but would be easier, quicker and more certain to guide through the business combination process over a target company that has a better risk, stability or profitability profile for our public shareholders but may take a longer time to diligence and go through the business combination process or (ii) effect our initial business combination with less desirable terms and conditions in order complete a business combination within the required period, both of which could cause our public shareholders to experience a negative rate of return or lose significant value on their shares of the combined company. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

We may acquire a target business that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates.

While we do not currently intend to pursue an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates, we are not prohibited from pursuing such a transaction, nor are we prohibited from consummating a business combination where any of our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates acquire a minority interest in the target business alongside our acquisition, provided that such transaction must be approved by a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in such transaction. These affiliations could cause our officers or directors to have a conflict of interest in analyzing such transactions due to their personal and financial interests.

We are not required to obtain a fairness opinion unless our board is unable to independently determine the fair market value of a target business or businesses. Consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our company from a financial point of view.

Unless our board is unable to independently determine the fair market value of a target business or businesses, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or other independent entity commonly engaged in rendering valuation opinions that the price we are paying is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Similarly, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party confirming that the target business has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account, unless our board cannot make that determination on its own. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we are paying is fair to our Company and our shareholders from a financial point of view unless the target is affiliated with our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates. While we may elect to obtain a valuation or fairness opinion in connection with any proposed initial business combination, if no such opinion is obtained, our shareholders will be relying solely on the judgment of our board of directors. In making their determination, the board will apply standards generally accepted by the financial community, which will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. It should be noted, however, that although our directors bring substantial experience in transactional, financial, and acquisition matters, some of them do not include prior evaluations of blank check companies like ours. Moreover, their personal and financial interests in the transaction may create potential conflicts of interest in analyzing the proposed business combination.

Our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following a business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.

Our officers and directors will be able to remain with the combined company only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements or other arrangements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the Company after the consummation of the business combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business.

Furthermore, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

Past performance by our officers and directors and our sponsor may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with our officers and directors and our sponsor and its affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by our officers and directors and our sponsor is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our initial business combination. You should not rely on the historical record of our officers and directors or our sponsor’s respective performance as indicative of future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward. Furthermore, an investment in us is not an investment in our sponsor or its affiliates.

Our letter agreement with our sponsor, officers and directors may be amended without shareholder approval.

Our letter agreement with our sponsor, officers and directors contain provisions relating to transfer restrictions of our insider shares and private units, indemnification of the trust account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the trust account. The letter agreement may be amended without shareholder approval. While we do not expect our board to approve any amendment to the letter agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that our board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the letter agreement. Any such amendments to the letter agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. In addition, in order to facilitate our initial business combination or for any other reason determined by our sponsor in its sole discretion, our sponsor may surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our insider shares, private units or any of our other securities, including for no consideration, as well as subject any such securities to earn-outs or other restrictions, or otherwise amend the terms of any such securities or enter into any other arrangements with respect to any such securities. Through such transfer, or otherwise, our sponsor may remove itself as the sponsor of our company before identifying a potential business combination, which may result in our inability to consummate a business combination.

Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We anticipate that our securities will be listed on Nasdaq, a national securities exchange, upon consummation of this offering. Although, after giving effect to this offering, we expect to meet on a pro forma basis the minimum initial listing standards of Nasdaq, which generally only requires that we meet certain requirements relating to shareholders’ equity, market capitalization, aggregate market value of publicly held shares and distribution requirements, we cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future or prior to an initial business combination. Additionally, in connection with our initial business combination, it is likely that Nasdaq will require us to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of this offering, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business with a limited number of products or services.

We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of this offering. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities that may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination.

Alternatively, if we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple business combinations, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.

Our public shareholders’ ability to exercise their redemption rights or sell their public shares to us in a tender offer may not allow us to effectuate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

If our business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, because we will not know how many public shareholders may exercise redemption rights or seek to sell their public shares to us in a tender offer, we may either need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account for possible payment upon such redemption, or we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business transaction. In the event that the business combination involves the issuance of our shares as consideration, we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our shares to make up for a shortfall in funds. Raising additional funds to cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the insider shares results in the issuance of additional ordinary shares upon conversion of the insider shares at the time of our initial business combination. This may limit our ability to effectuate the most attractive business combination available to us.

We may be unable to consummate a business combination if a target business requires that we have cash in excess of the minimum amount we are required to have at closing and public shareholders may have to remain shareholders of our company and wait until our liquidation to receive a pro rata share of the trust account or attempt to sell their shares in the open market.

A potential target may make it a closing condition to our business combination that we have a minimum amount of cash at the time of closing. If the number of our shareholders electing to exercise their redemption rights or sell their shares to us in a tender offer has the effect of reducing the amount of money available to us to consummate a business combination below such minimum amount required by the target business and we are not able to locate an alternative source of funding, we will not be able to consummate such business combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. In that case, public shareholders may have to remain shareholders of our company and wait the full 18 months, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, to complete an initial business combination, or attempt to sell their shares in the open market prior to such time, in which case they may receive less than a pro rata share of the trust account for their shares and suffer an entire loss on your investment.

Our public shareholders may not have an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, which means we may consummate our initial business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.

We intend to hold a shareholder vote before we consummate our initial business combination. However, if a shareholder vote is not required, for business or legal reasons, we may conduct redemptions via a tender offer and not offer our shareholders the opportunity to vote on a proposed business combination. Accordingly, we may consummate our initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our public shares do not approve of the business combination.

We may not be able to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, in which case we would redeem our public shares.

We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within the completion window after the closing of this offering. In recent years, a number of SPACs have liquidated due to an inability to complete an initial business combination within their allotted time periods. Furthermore, our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein, including the impact of events such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of amounts not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or possibly less, and our warrants will expire without value to the holder. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.

We may decide not to extend the term we have to consummate our initial business combination, in which case we would redeem our public shares, and the warrants may be worthless.

We have until the date that is 18 months from the closing of this offering (or 21 months from the closing of this offering if we have executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering and $0.033 per public share has been deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business combination within such period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. However, we may decide not to seek to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. If we do not seek to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination, and we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the applicable time period, we will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of amounts not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the warrants may be worthless.

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of our ordinary shares or public warrants.

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extent it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases.

Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares, rights or warrants in such transactions.

The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination, (2) reduce the number of public warrants outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the public warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (3) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, and their affiliates were to purchase public shares or warrants from public shareholders after the announcement of our initial business combination, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

Please also see “Proposed Business — Effecting Our Initial Business Combination — Permitted Purchases of Our Securities” for a description of how such persons will determine from which shareholders to seek to acquire securities.

In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder the option to vote in favor of a proposed business combination and still seek redemption of his, her or its public shares, which may make it more likely that we will consummate a business combination.

In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder the right to have his, her or its public shares converted to cash (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this prospectus) regardless of whether such shareholder votes for or against such proposed business combination. Accordingly, public shareholders owning shares sold in this offering may exercise their redemption rights and we could still consummate a proposed business combination so long as we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company, or a resolution approved in writing by all of the holders of the issued shares entitled to vote on such matter. This is different than other similarly structured blank check companies where shareholders are offered the right to redeem their shares only when they vote against a proposed business combination. This is also different than other similarly structured blank check companies where there is a specific number of shares sold in the offering which must not exercise redemption rights for the Company to complete a business combination. The lack of such a threshold and the ability to seek redemption while voting in favor of a proposed business combination may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. 

In connection with any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, we may require shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.

In connection with any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, each public shareholder will have the right, regardless of whether it is voting for or against such proposed business combination, to demand that we redeem its public shares into a share of the trust account. Such redemption will be effectuated under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as a redemption of the shares, with the redemption price to be paid being the applicable pro rata portion of the monies held in the trust account. We may require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with a proposed business combination to either tender their certificates (if any) to our transfer agent or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer document, as applicable. In case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve such business combination. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. It is also our understanding that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System. However, this too may not be the case. Accordingly, if it takes longer than we anticipate for shareholders to deliver their shares, shareholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their shares.

Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption .

Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we will be required to give a minimum of only ten (10) calendar days’ notice for each general meeting, except in the case of a shareholder meeting convened in connection with an initial business combination, for which at least twenty (20) calendar days’ notice is required. As a result, if we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their shares for redemption. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain our securities when they otherwise would not want to.

If we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such converting shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the proposed business combination is not approved.

If we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption described above and such proposed business combination is not consummated, we will promptly return such certificates to the tendering public shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until we have returned their securities to them. The market price for our shares may decline during this time, and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, while other shareholders who did not seek redemption would be able to sell their securities during this time.

Other companies may have a competitive advantage and we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination.

We expect to encounter intense competition from entities other than blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do, and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, seeking shareholder approval of a business combination may delay or prevent the consummation of a transaction, a risk a target business may not be willing to accept. Additionally, our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of the foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. 

The nominal purchase price paid by our sponsor for the insider shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of your public shares upon the consummation of our initial business combination, and our sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to materially decline.

We are offering our units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and the amount in our trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share, implying an initial value of $10.00 per public share. However, prior to this offering, our sponsor paid a nominal aggregate purchase price of $25,000 for the insider shares, or approximately $0.014 per share. As a result, the value of your public shares may be significantly diluted upon the consummation of our initial business combination, when the insider shares are converted into public shares. 

The following table shows the public shareholders’ and our sponsor’s investment per share and how these compare to the implied value of one ordinary share upon the completion of our initial business combination. The following table assumes that (i) our valuation is $57,000,000 (which is the amount we would have in the trust account for our initial business combination assuming the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised and following payment of the maximum deferred underwriting commissions), (ii) no interest is earned on the funds held in the trust account, (iii) no public shares are redeemed in connection with our initial business combination and (iv) all insider shares are held by our initial shareholders upon completion of our initial business combination, and does not take into account other potential impacts on our valuation at the time of the initial business combination, such as (i) the value of our public and private warrants, (ii) the trading price of our ordinary shares, (iii) the initial business combination transaction costs (other than the payment of up to $600,000 of deferred underwriting commissions or 5.0% of remaining cash in our trust upon consummation of our initial business combination post redemptions, whichever is greater), (iv) any equity issued or cash paid to the target’s sellers, (v) any equity issued to other third party investors, or (vi) the target’s business itself.

(1) While the public shareholders’ investment is in both the public shares and the public warrants, for purposes of this table the full investment amount is ascribed to the public shares only.

(2) The total investment in the equity of the Company by the sponsor is $1,966,000, consisting of (i) $25,000 paid by the sponsor for the insider shares and (ii) $1,941,000 paid by the sponsor for 194,100 private units. For purposes of this table, the full investment amount is ascribed to the insider shares only.

(3) All insider shares would automatically convert into ordinary shares upon completion of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holders thereof, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as described therein.

Based on these assumptions, each ordinary share would have an implied value of $7.41 per share upon completion of our initial business combination, representing an approximately 22.0% decrease from the initial implied value of $9.50 per public share. While the implied value of $7.41 per ordinary share upon completion of our initial business combination would represent a dilution to our public shareholders, this would represent a significant increase in value for our sponsor relative to the price it paid for each insider share. At approximately $7.41 per ordinary share, the 1,614,100 ordinary shares that our sponsor would own upon completion of our initial business combination (after its July 18, 2025 distribution of 80,000 insider shares among our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our three independent directors pursuant to executed share transfer agreements) would have an aggregate implied value of approximately $11,960,481. As a result, even if the trading price of our ordinary shares significantly declines, the value of the shares held by our sponsor will be significantly greater than the amount our sponsor paid to purchase such shares. In addition, our sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment in our Company even if the trading price of our ordinary shares after the initial business combination is as low as $1.22 per share. As a result, our sponsor is likely to earn a substantial profit on its investment in us upon disposition of its ordinary shares even if the trading price of our ordinary shares declines after we complete our initial business combination. Our sponsor may therefore be economically incentivized to complete an initial business combination with a riskier, weaker-performing or less-established target business than would be the case if our sponsor had paid the same per share price for the insider shares as our public shareholders paid for their public shares.

This dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provisions of the insider shares result in the issuance of additional ordinary shares upon conversion of the insider shares at the time of our initial business combination and would become exacerbated to the extent that public shareholders seek redemptions from the trust for their public shares. In addition, because of the anti-dilution protection in the insider shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued in connection with our initial business combination would be disproportionately dilutive to our ordinary shares.

The issuance of additional private units upon the conversion of potential working capital loans into private units may result in a material dilution to the equity interests of our public shareholders and reduce the value of our public shares, which could make it more difficult to effect a business combination or obtain future financing.

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of this offering until the completion of an initial business combination, our sponsor, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Such loans will be repayable upon the consummation of our initial business combination, and the lender has the option to convert up to $3,000,000 of such loans into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit prior to or upon the consummation of our initial business combination, as a result of which up to 300,000 additional ordinary shares may be issued up on the conversion of such loans.

The potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares upon conversion of the loan could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business. Such securities, when converted, will increase the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares and reduce the value of our public shares. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for us to effectuate a business combination, and the cost of acquiring the target business may increase. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If to the extent these warrants are exercised, you will experience dilution to your holdings.

If our shareholders exercise their registration rights with respect to their securities, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares and the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effect a business combination.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be entered into among our company, the sponsor, and our officers and directors prior to or on the effective date of this offering, at any time and from time to time on or after the date that we consummate a business combination, the holders of a majority-in-interest of (i) 1,500,000 insider shares (or 1,725,000 insider shares if the overallotment is exercised in full), (ii) 194,100 private shares (or 203,100 private shares if the overallotment is exercised in full), (iii) 97,050 ordinary shares (or 101,550 ordinary shares if the overallotment is exercised in full) underlying the private warrants included in the private units, (iv) any securities issuable upon conversion of working capital loans from our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates, if any, (v) any warrants, rights, shares of our company issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the aforementioned securities, and (vi) any other equity security held by our initial shareholders as of the date of the registration rights agreement (including shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of such equity security) are entitled to make up to two demands that we register the resale of such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination.

The presence of these additional securities trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities. In addition, the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business, as the shareholders of the target business may be discouraged from entering into a business combination with us or will request a higher price for their securities because of the potential effect the conversion of such working capital loans may have on the trading market for our ordinary shares.

Changes in laws, regulations, rules or policies, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements and numerous complex tax laws. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules or policies, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations. 

On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted a series of new rules relating to SPACs, which became effective on July 1, 2024 (the “SPAC Rules”), requiring, among other items, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC business combination transactions; (ii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in both SPAC initial public offerings and de-SPAC transactions; (iii) the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; and (iv) both the SPAC and the target company’s status as co-registrants on de-SPAC registration statements.

In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team in furtherance of such goals.

Compliance with the SPAC Rules and related guidance may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.

As described in the risk factor above entitled “Changes in laws, regulations, rules or policies, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations,” the SEC’s adopting release with respect to the SPAC Rules provided guidance describing the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. Whether a SPAC is an investment company will be a question of facts and circumstances. If our facts and circumstances change over time, we will update our disclosure to reflect how those changes impact the risk that we may be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company. We can give no assurance that a claim will not be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may have to change our operations, wind down our operations, or register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Our activities may be restricted, including:

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We are mindful of the SEC’s investment company definition and guidance and intend to identify and complete an initial business combination with an operating business, and not with an investment company, or to acquire minority interests in other businesses exceeding the permitted threshold.

We do not believe that our anticipated activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account will initially be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or 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 and/or held as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts); the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended business combination. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the trust account, we may, at any time, (based on our officer’s and directors’ ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in securities or assets other than as described above. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. This offering is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended solely as a temporary depository for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination within the required period; (ii) our redemption of public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination within the required period; (iii) our redemption of public shares in connection with an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, or (B) with respect to any other provision of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of public shareholders; and (iv) our liquidation.

We are aware of litigation claiming that certain SPACs should be considered to be investment companies. Although we believe that these claims were without merit, we cannot guarantee that we will not be deemed to be an investment company and thus subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete an initial business combination or may result in our winding down our operations and our liquidation. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account, and our public shareholders would also lose the possibility of an investment opportunity in a target company as well as any potential price appreciation in the combined company following a business combination. In addition, holders of our warrants would not receive any funds with respect to their warrants, which would expire worthless.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time (based on our officer’s and directors’ ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct 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 an initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the trust account, we will likely receive less interest on the funds held in the trust account than we would have had the trust account remained, as initially invested, such that our public shareholders would receive less upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company than what they would have received had the investments not been liquidated.

The funds to be held in the trust account will, following this offering, be initially held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less, in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act and in cash or cash like items (including demand deposit accounts) at a bank. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time (based on our officer’s and directors’ ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct Efficiency to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all 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. Following such liquidation, we will likely receive less interest on the funds held in the trust account than we would earn if the trust account remained invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit at a bank could reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company as compared to what they would have received had the investments not been so liquidated. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required period and we redeem the public shares for the funds held in the trust account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds for their warrants, which will expire worthless.

Notwithstanding the measures set forth above, we may still be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be deemed to be an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate. If our facts and circumstances change over time, we will update our disclosure to reflect how those changes impact the risk that we may be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company. As disclosed above, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the trust account at any time and instead hold all funds in the trust account in an interest bearing demand deposit account or as cash or cash items at a bank, which could further reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company as compared to what they would have received had the investments not been so liquidated. Were we to liquidate the Company, our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the target company with which we could have consummated an initial business combination. In addition, upon moving the funds from the trust account to a deposit account, we will maintain the cash items in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. While we intend to place our deposits in high-quality banks, only a small portion of the funds in our trust account will be guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The determination of the offering price of our units is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities for an operating company in a particular industry.

Prior to this offering, there was no public market for any of our securities. The public offering price of the units and the terms of the warrants was negotiated between us and the underwriter. In determining the size of this offering, management held customary organizational meetings with the underwriter, both prior to our inception and thereafter, with respect to the state of capital markets, generally, and the amount the underwriter believed it reasonably could raise on our behalf. Factors considered in determining the size of this offering, prices and terms of the units, including the ordinary shares and warrants underlying the units, include:

Although these factors were considered, the determination of our offering price is more arbitrary than the pricing of securities of an operating company in a particular industry since we have no historical operations or financial results.

There is currently no market for our securities and a market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

There is currently no market for our securities. Shareholders therefore have no access to information about prior market history on which to base their investment decision. Following this offering, the price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and certain of our officers and directors are residents of jurisdictions outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or executive officers, or seek recognition and/or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, the Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Because we and our sponsor are respectively incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands, and all of our officers and directors are located outside the United States, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal or state courts may be limited.

We and our sponsor are respectively incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands. Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, the Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the Companies Act and common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, and whilst the decisions of the English courts are of persuasive authority, they are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States.

In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders’ derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a Cayman Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred.

We have been advised by Harney Westwood & Riegels that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will at common law enforce final and conclusive in personam judgments of state and/or federal courts of the United States of America, or the “Foreign Court”, of a debt or definite sum of money against the company (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature, a fine or other penalty (which may include a multiple damages judgment in an anti-trust action) or where enforcement would be contrary to public policy). The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may also at common law enforce final and conclusive in personam judgments of the Foreign Court that are non-monetary against the company, for example, declaratory judgments ruling upon the true legal owner of shares in a Cayman Islands company. The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands will exercise its discretion in the enforcement of non-money judgments by having regard to the circumstances, such as considering whether the principles of comity apply. To be treated as final and conclusive, any relevant judgment must be regarded as res judicata by the Foreign Court. A debt claim on a foreign judgment must be brought within six years of the date of the judgment, and arrears of interest on a judgment debt cannot be recovered after six years from the date on which the interest was due. The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the Foreign Court under civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law if such a judgment is found by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Such a determination has not yet been made by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. A court of the Cayman Islands may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. A judgment entered in default of appearance by a defendant who has had notice of the Foreign Court’s intention to proceed may be final and conclusive notwithstanding that the Foreign Court has power to set aside its own judgment and despite the fact that it may be subject to an appeal the time-limit for which has not yet expired. The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may safeguard the defendant’s rights by granting a stay of execution pending any such appeal and may also grant interim injunctive relief as appropriate for the purpose of enforcement.

In addition, it may be difficult for you to effect service of legal process against us, or our officers and directors who reside outside the United States (namely, Shang Ju Lin, Luhuan Zhong, Ya Ting Lee, and Mei Chi Tsai). There is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the U.S. and the PRC or Taiwan providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts. Foreign judgments obtained in the United States may still be recognized and enforced in the PRC or Taiwan courts through principles for the recognition of foreign judgments under common law. However, there are specific conditions that must be met for these foreign judgments to be enforceable. These constraints may impact both the cost and time associated with legal proceedings in the PRC or Taiwan. For more details, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.” On the point of cost constraints, investors could face additional legal expenses (including hiring local attorneys and translators), travel costs for attending court proceedings, and other administrative charges. On the point of time constraint, investors may face time constraints due to legal delays, appeals, and the complexity of cases of pursuing such enforcement in Taiwan.

As a result of the above and the added costs and time required for effecting service of process, enforcing a judgment rendered by a U.S. court outside the United States or bringing an original action based on U.S. law in foreign courts, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our company, our sponsor, officers and directors than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

After our initial business combination, it is possible that all or a majority of our officers and directors will live outside the United States and all of our assets will be located outside the United States. Therefore, you may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing judgments of U.S. courts, or bringing original actions outside the United States based upon U.S. federal securities laws against the combined company or its officers and directors, and you may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or your other legal rights.

After our initial business combination, it is possible that all or a majority of our officers and directors will live outside the United States and all of our assets will be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon the combined company or its officers and directors, or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the combined company or its officers and directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. A judgment of a United States court for civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States may not be enforceable in or recognized by the courts of the jurisdictions where the combined company’s officers and directors reside, and the judicial recognition process may be time-consuming. It may be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the combined company or its officers and directors. If the combined company is also incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the risks and uncertainties described in more detail under “— Because we and our sponsor are respectively incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands, and all of our officers and directors are located outside the United States, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal or state courts may be limited” also will be applicable.

As a result of the above and the added costs and time required for effecting service of process, enforcing a judgment rendered by a U.S. court outside the United States or bringing an original action based on U.S. law in foreign courts, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by the combined company or its officers and directors than they would as public shareholders of a United States company. 

If our initial business combination involves a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States, it is possible a 1% U.S. federal excise tax will be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our ordinary shares after or in connection with such initial business combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 became law in the United States, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain repurchases of shares by publicly traded domestic corporations, including United States corporations and certain non-U.S. corporations treated as “surrogate foreign corporations”. The excise tax will apply to share repurchases occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The amount of the excise tax payable is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. On April 9, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) issued proposed regulations relating to payment of excise tax, which may generally be relied upon by taxpayers until the regulations are finalized.

As an entity incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, the 1% excise tax is not expected to apply to redemptions of our ordinary shares, absent any regulations and other additional guidance that may be issued in the future with retroactive effect.

However, in connection with an initial business combination involving a company organized under the laws of the United States, it is possible that we domesticate and continue as a U.S. corporation, in which case it is possible that we will be subject to the excise tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions, including redemptions in connection with the initial business combination, that are treated as repurchases for this purpose (other than, pursuant to the proposed regulations from the U.S. Treasury, redemptions in complete liquidation of the Company). In all cases, the extent of the excise tax that may be incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our shares redeemed, the structure of the initial business combination, the extent to which such redemptions could be treated as dividends and not repurchases, and the content of any final regulations and other additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury that may be issued and applicable to the redemptions. Issuances of shares by a repurchasing corporation in a year in which such corporation repurchases shares may reduce the amount of excise tax imposed with respect to such repurchase. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The imposition of the excise tax as a result of redemptions in connection with the initial business combination could, however, reduce the amount of cash available to pay redemptions or reduce the cash contribution to the target business in connection with an initial business combination, which could cause the other shareholders of the combined company to economically bear the impact of such excise tax.

Because we must furnish our shareholders with financial statements of the target business prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS as issued by the IASB or reconciled to U.S. GAAP, we may not be able to complete an initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.

We will be required to provide historical and pro forma financial statement disclosure relating to our target business to our shareholders. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. The financial statements may also be required to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for Form 8-K announcing the closing of an initial business combination, which would need to be filed within four business days after closing. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require substantial financial and management resources and may increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls and may require us to have such system audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or shareholder litigation. Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm our business. A target business may also not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition. Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our securities less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. However, if within a three-year period, we issue non-convertible debt exceeding $1.0 billion or generate revenues exceeding $1.235 billion, or if we have been a public company for at least 12 months and the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and we are exempt from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private companies are required to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of our financial statements with another public company (which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company opting out of using the extended transition period) difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares less attractive because we may rely on these provisions. If some investors find our shares less attractive due to the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to us, there may be a less active trading market for our shares, and our share price may become more volatile.

An investment in this offering may involve adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

An investment in this offering may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. For example, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to our ordinary shares suspend the running of a U.S. Holder’s (as defined in section titled “Taxation—U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—General”) holding period for purposes of determining whether any gain or loss realized by such holder on the sale or exchange of ordinary shares is long-term capital gain or loss and for determining whether any dividend we pay would be considered “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, because there are no authorities that directly address instruments similar to the units we are issuing in this offering, the allocation an investor makes with respect to the purchase price of a unit between the ordinary share and the one-half of a warrant to purchase one ordinary share included in each unit could be challenged by the IRS or courts. Finally, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of warrants included in the units we are issuing in this offering is unclear under current law. See the section titled “Taxation—U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an investment in our securities. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these and other tax consequences when acquiring, owning or disposing of our securities.

We have also not sought a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described in this prospectus. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject an investor or our company to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described in this prospectus. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our securities, including the applicability and effect of state, local, or foreign tax laws, as well as U.S. federal tax laws.

We may qualify as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

In general, we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the “Taxation—U.S. Federal Income Taxation—General”) of our securities, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Our PFIC status for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend on whether we qualify for the PFIC start-up exception. Depending on the particular circumstances, the application of the start-up exception depends on the facts and circumstances and is subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that we will qualify for the start-up exception. In addition, our PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year (or after the end of the start-up period, if later). Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year (of which there can be no assurance), we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information, and such election would be unavailable with respect to our rights in any event. See “Taxation—U.S. Federal Income Taxation—U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for details. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.

Our initial business combination and our structure thereafter may not be tax-efficient to our shareholders. As a result of our business combination, our tax obligations may be more complex, burdensome and uncertain.

Although we will attempt to structure our initial business combination in a tax-efficient manner, tax structuring considerations are complex, the relevant facts and law are uncertain and may change, and we may prioritize commercial and other considerations over tax considerations. For example, in connection with our initial business combination and subject to any requisite shareholder approval, we may structure our business combination in a manner that requires shareholders to recognize gain or income for tax purposes, effect a business combination with a target company in another jurisdiction, or reincorporate in or transfer by way of continuation to a different jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, the jurisdiction in which the target company or business is located). We currently do not intend to make any cash distributions to shareholders to pay taxes in connection with our initial business combination or thereafter. Accordingly, a shareholder may need to satisfy any liability resulting from our initial business combination with cash from its own funds or by selling all or a portion of the shares received. In addition, shareholders may also be subject to additional income, withholding or other taxes with respect to their ownership of us after our initial business combination.

In addition, we may effect a business combination with a target company that has business operations outside of the United States, and possibly, business operations in multiple jurisdictions. If we effect such a business combination, we could be subject to significant income, withholding and other tax obligations in a number of jurisdictions with respect to income, operations and subsidiaries related to those jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of tax obligations and filings in other jurisdictions, we may have a heightened risk related to audits or examinations by U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. taxing authorities. This additional complexity and risk could have an adverse effect on our after-tax profitability and financial condition.

The management following a business combination may be unfamiliar with the laws and regulations applicable to a U.S. public company, which could lead to various regulatory issues.

Following a business combination, our management will likely resign from their positions as officers of the company, and the management of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place. We cannot assure you that the management of the target business will be familiar with the laws and regulations applicable to a U.S. public company. If the management following a business combination is unfamiliar with these laws and regulations, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws and regulations. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues, which may adversely affect the operations of the combined company.

If restrictions on repatriation of earnings from the target business’ home jurisdiction to foreign entities are instituted, our business following a business combination may be materially negatively affected.

It is possible that following an initial business combination, the home jurisdiction of the target business may have restrictions on repatriations of earnings or additional restrictions may be imposed in the future. If they were, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by extraordinary events and the status of debt and equity markets.

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by extraordinary events and the status of debt and equity markets. For example, the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus over the past years resulted in a widespread health crisis, which has materially and adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide. Going forward, the continued concerns relating to COVID-19 or the occurrence of other extraordinary events, such as natural disasters and unusual weather conditions, power outages, pandemic outbreaks, terrorist acts, and global political events, may restrict travel, limit our ability to have meetings with potential investors, delay the negotiation among relevant parties, or lead to a prolonged economic downturn. If the disruptions posed by these extraordinary events or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, our ability to consummate a business combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing, which, in turn, may be impacted by the occurrence of any extraordinary events.

We are currently experiencing a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability. We face risks related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and any other conflicts that may arise on a global or regional scale which may adversely affect the business and results of operations of the post-combination entity.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the recent escalation of geopolitical tensions, such as the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of Ukraine that has had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher energy prices and higher prices for certain raw materials and goods and services which in turn is contributing to higher inflation in the United States and other countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets and supply and distribution chains for certain raw materials and goods and services on an unprecedented scale. The impact of the sanctions has also included disruptions to financial markets, an inability to complete financial or banking transactions, restrictions on travel and an inability to service existing or new customers in a timely manner in the affected areas of Europe. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has continued to escalate without any resolution of the invasion foreseeable in the near future with the short and long-term impact on financial and business conditions in Europe remaining highly uncertain.

The U.S. and the European Union responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by imposing various economic sanctions on the Russian Federation to which the Russian Federation has responded in kind. The United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other countries across the globe have imposed their own sanctions on the Russian Federation. The United States, the European Union and such other countries acting together or separately could impose wider sanctions or take further actions against the Russian Federation if the conflict continues to escalate. Multinational corporations and other corporations and businesses with business and financial ties to the Russian Federation have either reduced or eliminated their ties to the Russian Federation in a manner that often exceeds what is required pursuant to sanctions by these countries.

Further, the Russian Federation’s cyberattacks and other action may impact businesses across the United States, the European Union and other nations across the globe including those without any direct business ties to the Russian Federation. In addition, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas that broke out in October 2023 could also disrupt the world economy and increase trade tensions. The conflict could lead to fluctuations in energy prices and affect the macroeconomic policies of the major economies. Economic activities related to this region could also be adversely impacted.

It is uncertain if the post-combination entity’s business, operation, or financial conditions could be materially impacted in the event of a downturn in the worldwide economy resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and other conflicts with a global impact. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this prospectus.

Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for an initial business combination target or the performance or business prospects of a post-business combination company.

There have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect our search for a target and/or our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Recently, the U.S. has implemented a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed, are considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs. and we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future.

Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses’ reliance on imported goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses’ reliance on sales into the United States). In addition, retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the United States, and domestic businesses that rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes could negatively affect the attractiveness of certain initial business combination targets, or lead to material adverse effects on a post-business combination company. Among other things, historical financial performance of companies affected by trade policies and/or tariffs may not provide useful guidance as to the future performance of such companies, because future financial performance of those companies may be materially affected by new U.S. tariffs or foreign retaliatory tariffs, or other changes to trade policies. The business prospects of a particular target for a business combination could change even after we enter into a business combination agreement, as a result of tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that target’s business, and it may be costly or impractical for us to terminate that business combination agreement. These factors could affect our selection of a business combination target.

We may not be able to adequately address the risks presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes. As a result, we may deem it costly, impractical or risky to complete an initial business combination with a particular target or with a target in a particular industry or from a particular country. Consequently, the pool of potential target companies may be reduced, which could impair our ability to identify a suitable target and to complete an initial business combination. If we complete an initial business combination with such a target, the post-business combination company’s operations and financial results could be adversely affected as a result of tariffs or changes to trade policies, which may cause the market value of the securities of the post-business combination company to decline.

Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.

At the time of your investment in us, you will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of one or more target businesses. Because our board of directors may consummate our initial business combination without seeking shareholder approval, public shareholders may not have the right or opportunity to vote on the business combination. Accordingly, if we do not seek shareholder approval, your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer documents mailed to our public shareholders in which we describe our business combination.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with the implementation by the directors of, following a shareholder vote, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to (x) the rights of holders of our ordinary shares or (y) pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business within 18 months from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. Public shareholders who redeem their ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the trust account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering, with respect to such ordinary shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will any public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

The ability of our public shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into our initial business combination with a target.

We may enter into a transaction agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. If too many public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we may not be able to meet such closing condition, and as a result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause fail to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective targets would be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into our initial business combination transaction with us.

The ability of a large number of our shareholders to exercise redemption rights may not allow us to consummate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If a large number of shares are submitted for redemption, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account to redeem such larger number of shares or arrange for additional third-party financing. If the acquisition involves the issuance of our shares as consideration, we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our shares to the target or its shareholders to make up for the failure to satisfy a minimum cash requirement. Raising additional funds to cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the insider shares results in the issuance of additional ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure.

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, all of our existing shareholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

Our sponsor, which will own approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding shares immediately after this offering (excluding the private placement shares included in the private units and assuming that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised and that our sponsor, officers and directors do not purchase additional units or shares), has agreed to (i) vote all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them (whether acquired before, in, or after this offering) in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) and (ii) waive any right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares beneficially owned or to be owned by it, directly or indirectly, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO (or to sell such shares to our company in a tender offer). As a result, if we seek shareholder approval of a proposed transaction which would require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company, we could need as little as 229,426 of our public shares (or approximately 3.82% of our public shares) to be voted in favor of the transaction in order to have such transaction approved (assuming that only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum is present and voted at such meeting, that the over-allotment option is not exercised, and that our sponsor, officers and directors do not purchase any units in this offering or units or shares in the after-market).

If we seek shareholder approval of our business combination, our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from shareholders, in which case they may influence a vote in favor of a proposed business combination that you do not support and reduce the public “float” of our or the combined company’s securities.

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may purchase shares or units from public shareholders in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their public shares. In the event that our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates purchase shares or units in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

The purpose of any such transaction could be to (i) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination, (ii) reduce the number of public shares or units outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the public unitholders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (iii) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. See “Proposed Business — Effecting Our Initial Business Combination — Permitted purchases of our securities by our affiliates” for a description of how our sponsor, officers, directors, or any of their affiliates will select which shareholders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.

Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult for us to maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange or for the combined company to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange. Under the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing rules, we are required to have at least 500,000 shares not held directly or indirectly by an officer, director or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the total shares outstanding, and the market value of such shares must be at least $1 million. If the combined company were to seek listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it must have at least 1,000,000 shares that are (i) not held directly or indirectly by an officer, director or any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the total shares outstanding and (ii) are not subject to resale restrictions for any reason, and the market value of such shares must be at least $5 million under the “Net Income Standard” or $15 million under the “Equity Standard” or the “Market Value of Listed Securities Standard.”

There is no limit on the number of shares our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares or units in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In addition, our sponsor, officers, directors, or any of their affiliates will not make any purchases if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extent it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.

Additionally, in the event our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates were to purchase shares or units from public shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash unless we seek shareholder approval of the initial business combination.

At the time of your investment in us, you will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any target businesses. Since our board of directors may complete an initial business combination without seeking shareholder approval, public shareholders may not have the right or opportunity to vote on the initial business combination, unless we seek such shareholder vote. Accordingly, if we do not seek shareholder approval, your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer documents mailed to our public shareholders in which we describe our initial business combination.

We may be limited to the funds held outside of the trust account to fund our search for target businesses, to pay our tax obligations and expenses, and to complete our initial business combination.

Of the net proceeds of this offering, $800,000 is anticipated to be available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements and cover expenses. Especially if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, we may not have sufficient funds available with which to structure, negotiate or close our initial business combination or pay our expenses. In such event, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Our sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates are under no obligation to loan us any funds. If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary, we may be forced to cease searching for a target business and may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

If the net proceeds of this offering not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 18 months, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 18 months from the closing of this initial public offering, subject to extension up to 21 months by means of three one-month extensions provided that $0.033 per public share is deposited into the trust account for each one-month extension and further provided that the Company has entered into an agreement for an initial business combination within that 18-month period, assuming that our initial business combination is not consummated during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we are unable to fund such down payments or “no shop” provisions, our ability to close a contemplated transaction could be impaired. Furthermore, if we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive a pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which may be less than $10.00 per share) (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption.

Subsequent to the consummation of our initial business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges.

Even if we conduct thorough due diligence on a target business with which we combine, this diligence may not reveal all material issues that may be present inside a particular target business, uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or ensure that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and do not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt financing.

Our directors may decide not to enforce indemnification obligations against our sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.00 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine on our behalf whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors, in exercising their business judgment, may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations on our behalf, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

Because we have not selected a particular business or specific geographic location or any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination, you will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations.

We may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business industry or sector. In addition, we will not pursue a prospective target company based in or having the majority of its operations in the PRC. Except for the limitations that a target business has a fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account and that we are not permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Because we have not yet identified or approached any specific target business with respect to our initial business combination, there is no basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular target business’s operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition or prospects. To the extent we consummate our initial business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations with which we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or development-stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors, or we will not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business. In addition, investors will be relying on the business judgment of our board of directors, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of a particular target business. An investment in our shares may not ultimately prove to be more favorable to investors than a direct investment if such opportunity were available in an acquisition target.

We may seek investment opportunities outside our management’s area of expertise and our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all significant risks associated with the target company.

There is no limitation on the industry or business sector that we may consider when contemplating our initial business combination. We may, therefore, be presented with a business combination candidate in an industry unfamiliar to our officers and directors, but determine that such candidate offers an attractive investment opportunity for our company. In the event we elect to pursue an investment outside of our management’s expertise, our management’s experience may not be directly applicable to the target business or their evaluation of its operations.

We will consider a business combination outside of our management’s area of expertise if a business combination target is presented to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive acquisition opportunity for our company. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination target, we may not adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in this offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a business combination target. In the event we elect to pursue an acquisition outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in this prospectus regarding the areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result, our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. Accordingly, any holders who choose to retain their securities following our initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission. 

Our sponsor may receive additional ordinary shares if we issue shares to consummate an initial business combination.

Subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein, the insider shares are entitled to anti-dilution protection such that, upon the consummation of our initial business combination, the initial shareholders will collectively hold twenty two and two one hundredths per cent (22.02%) of the sum of: (a) the total number of ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of our initial public offering (including any ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option and excluding any ordinary shares underlying the private placement warrants issued to the sponsor); plus (b) all ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the closing of our initial business combination, excluding any ordinary shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in our initial business combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the sponsor or its affiliates or to the Company’s officers and directors upon the conversion of working capital loans made to the Company; minus (c) the number of public shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination.

Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines.

Although we have identified specific criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that the target business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we consummate our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce our initial business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. In addition, if shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law or Nasdaq, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain shareholder approval of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Management’s flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate, along with our management’s financial interest in consummating our initial business combination, may cause management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is not in the best interest of our shareholders.

Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Investors will be relying on management’s ability to identify business combinations, evaluate their merits, conduct or monitor diligence and conduct negotiations. Management’s flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate, along with management’s financial interest in consummating our initial business combination, may cause management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is not in the best interest of our shareholders, which would be the case if the trading price of our ordinary shares after giving effect to such business combination was less than the per-share trust liquidation value that our shareholders would have received if we had dissolved without consummating our initial business combination.

Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not consummated.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to consummate our initial business combination for multiple reasons, some of which are beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on share redemption, and the warrants will expire worthless. 

We may attempt to consummate our initial business combination with a private company about which little information is available.

In pursuing our acquisition strategy, we may seek to effectuate our initial business combination with a privately held company. By definition, very little public information exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial business combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in our initial business combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.

We may not be able to maintain control of a target business after our initial business combination.

We may structure our initial business combination to acquire less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business, but we will only consummate such business combination if we will become the majority shareholder of the target (or control the target through contractual arrangements in limited circumstances for regulatory compliance purposes) or are otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or to the extent permitted by law we may acquire interests in a variable interest entity, in which we may have less than a majority of the voting rights in such entity, but in which we are the primary beneficiary. Even though we may own a majority interest in the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-business combination company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to such transaction. In addition, other minority shareholders may subsequently combine their holdings resulting in a single person or group obtaining a larger share of the combined company’s stock than we initially acquired. Accordingly, this may make it more likely that we will not be able to maintain our control of the target business.

Risks Associated with Acquiring and Operating a Business Outside of the United States

We may effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States and, if we do so, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our business operations and financial results.

If we consummate a business combination with a target business located outside of the United States, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target business’ governing jurisdiction, including any of the following:

We cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations would suffer.

Because of the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

Managing a business, operations, personnel or assets in another country is challenging and costly. Any management that we may have (whether based abroad or in the U.S.) may be inexperienced in cross-border business practices and unaware of significant differences in accounting rules, legal regimes and labor practices. Even with a seasoned and experienced management team, the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, personnel and assets can be significant (and much higher than in a purely domestic business) and may negatively impact our financial and operational performance.

If social unrest, acts of terrorism, regime changes, changes in laws and regulations, political upheaval, or policy changes or enactments occur in a country in which we may operate after we effect our initial business combination, it may result in a negative impact on our business.

Political events in another country may significantly affect our business, assets or operations. Social unrest, acts of terrorism, regime changes, changes in laws and regulations, political upheaval, and policy changes or enactments could negatively impact our business in a particular country.

For example, the Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (2024 Revision), or the ITC, came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for Cayman Islands tax resident companies which are engaged in certain “relevant activities.” However, it is not anticipated that the Company itself will be subject to any such requirements prior to any business combination and thereafter the Company may still remain out of scope of the legislation or else be subject to more limited substance requirements. Although it is presently anticipated that the ITC will have little material impact on the Company or its operations, as the legislation is new and remains subject to further clarification and interpretation, it is not currently possible to ascertain the precise impact of these legislative changes on the Company.

Many countries have difficult and unpredictable legal systems and underdeveloped laws and regulations that are unclear and subject to corruption and inexperience, which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to seek and enforce legal protections, including with respect to intellectual property and other property rights, or to defend ourselves with regard to legal actions taken against us in a given country, may be difficult or impossible, which could adversely impact our operations, assets or financial condition.

Rules and regulations in many countries are often ambiguous or open to differing interpretation by responsible individuals and agencies at the municipal, state, regional and federal levels. The attitudes and actions of such individuals and agencies are often difficult to predict and inconsistent.
