On January 30, 2026, in connection with the Abra BCA (as defined below), Aether Merger Sub I Corp., a Delaware company (hereinafter, “Merger Sub”), was formed and is wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 4, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, which are held in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2025 (File No. 333-286411), was declared effective on April 23, 2025 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”).

The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is valued at $
The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 2) subject to possible redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” as of June 30, 2026, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued during the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Considerations used in the determination of fair values of the Warrants are disclosed in Note 8. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Public Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. Warrants, after Management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned value.
Convertible Promissory Notes
The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments in accordance with ASC 470. The Company evaluates each convertible instrument issued to determine whether any embedded features require bifurcation as derivative instruments pursuant to ASC 815 or separate classification pursuant to ASC 480.
The Company evaluated the WCL Notes’ embedded conversion feature and concluded that, while the feature meets certain characteristics of an embedded derivative, it qualifies for the scope exception applicable to contracts indexed to and settled in the Company's own equity. Accordingly, the conversion feature is not required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative liability.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480-10-S99”) the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

With respect to the accretion of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend paid to the shareholders in the calculation of the net income per Ordinary Share.

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, dated April 23, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Class A Ordinary Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.

| ● | if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ |
Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |

ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the company’s CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.
General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 4, 2024 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is New Providence Holdings III, LLC.
We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination, including the Abra Business Combination, will be successful.
Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on April 23, 2025. On April 25, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 30,015,000 Public Units, including 3,915,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $300,150,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 872,075 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $8,720,750. Of those 872,075 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 611,075 Private Placement Units and Cantor purchased 261,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $301,650,750 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
24
We have until April 25, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then 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 applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
Abra Business Combination
General Description of the Abra BCA
On March 16, 2026, we entered into the Abra BCA with Abra and the Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Abra BCA and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) on or prior to the closing (the “Closing”, and the date and time of the Closing, the “Closing Date”) of the Abra BCA, we will de-register from the Register of Companies of the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation pursuant to Part 12 of the Companies Act and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Domestication”); and (ii) following the Domestication, (A) Merger Sub will merge with and into Abra, with Abra continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and, as a result of which, each issued and outstanding share of Abra immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for a number of shares of our common stock (the “SPAC Common Stock”) equal to the (i) the Merger Consideration, divided by (ii) the Fully-Diluted Company Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”). As a result of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Abra BCA, Abra will become our wholly-owned subsidiary, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Abra BCA.
Additionally, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding and unexercised option (each, an “Abra Option”) to purchase common stock of Abra, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Abra Common Stock”) will be assumed by and become an option of our Company (each, an “Assumed Option”) containing the same terms, conditions, vesting and other provisions as are currently applicable to such Abra Options, provided that each Assumed Option will be exercisable for the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Abra Common Stock subject to the Abra Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole number, at an exercise price equal to the per share exercise price of the Abra Option divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
25
Consideration
The aggregate consideration to be delivered to the security holders of Abra as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Security Holders”) will be a number of newly issued shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to Seven Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($750,000,000), divided by the Redemption Price (as defined in the Abra BCA) (the “Merger Consideration”), with each holder of Abra Common Stock (each, a “Company Stockholder”) receiving for each share of Abra Common Stock held, a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.
The “Fully-Diluted Company Shares” means (a) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Abra Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus (b) the aggregate number of shares of Abra Common Stock issuable upon, or pursuant to, the exercise of Abra Options that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, treating such outstanding Abra Options as having been exercised in full (calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting).
Representations and Warranties
The Abra BCA contains representations and warranties that are reasonably customary for similar transactions that are made by the parties as of the date of the Abra BCA, or other specified dates, solely for the benefit of certain of the parties to the Abra BCA, and in certain cases are subject to specified exceptions and materiality, Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), knowledge and other qualifications contained in the Abra BCA or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Abra BCA. “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the Merger, subject to customary exceptions.
No Survival
The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Abra BCA terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Abra BCA do not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive until fully performed.
Covenants of the Parties
Each party to the Abra BCA has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and to cooperate fully with one another, to consummate the Abra Business Combination. The Abra BCA also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties that apply during the period between the signing of the Abra BCA and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Abra BCA (the “Interim Period”), including (i) the provision of access to the applicable party’s properties, books and personnel; (ii) the operation of the parties’ respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (iii) the current and timely filing of our public filings; (iv) no insider trading; (v) notifications to the other parties of certain breaches, consent requirements and other matters; (vi) obtaining third party and regulatory approvals; (vii) tax matters; (viii) further assurances; (ix) public announcements; (x) confidentiality; and (xi) other covenants. The Abra BCA also contains certain customary post-Closing covenants, including, without limitation, in regard to (1) tax matters; (2) the maintenance of books and records; and (3) the indemnification of directors and officers.
Additionally, both our Company and Abra agreed that it will not solicit or enter into a competing alternative transaction, in accordance with customary terms and provisions set forth in the Abra BCA.
26
We agreed that we will not approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Abra BCA), or otherwise change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify our recommendation to our shareholders for approval of the Abra BCA and the Abra Business Combination (a “Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that if our Board of Directors, after consultation with our legal counsel, determines in good faith, that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation would be a breach of our fiduciary duties to our shareholders under applicable law, then our Board of Directors may make a Change of Recommendation, provided that we deliver, pursuant to procedures set forth in the Abra BCA, at least 48 hours’ advance written notice advising Abra of such withdrawal or modification; provided that any Change of Recommendation shall not affect our obligations to call an extraordinary general meeting to approve our Shareholder Approval Matters (as defined in the Abra BCA).
Abra will deliver to us financial statements of Abra audited by a PCAOB-qualified auditor in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards, accompanied by an unqualified opinion of the auditor thereon (collectively, the “Audited Financials”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the Abra BCA, but no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the Abra BCA (the “Audit Delivery Date”). In addition, Abra will deliver to us unaudited quarterly financial information through the Closing Date and for such periods as required by applicable law or SEC Guidance to be included in the Abra Registration Statement.
Our Company and Abra will, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Abra BCA, prepare and file the Abra Registration Statement with the SEC in connection with the registration under the Securities Act, of the securities of our Company to be issued pursuant to the Abra Business Combination, which will contain a proxy statement/prospectus for the solicitation of proxies from our shareholders to approve the Abra BCA, the Abra Business Combination and related matters at an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “SPAC Special Meeting”), and providing our Public Shareholders with an opportunity to request redemption of their Public Shares in connection with the Abra Business Combination, as required by our Amended and Restated Articles and our IPO Registration Statement (the “Abra Redemptions”).
As promptly as practicable after the Abra Registration Statement has become effective (and in all cases within two (2) business days following such date), Abra will obtain and deliver to us a written consent of Abra’s stockholders in order to approve the Abra BCA and each of the ancillary documents to which Abra is or is required to be a party or bound and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Abra Stockholder Approval”). At our request, Abra shall make the members of its management reasonably available to participate in management presentations, “road shows,” rating agency presentations, meetings with financing sources and similar events in connection with obtaining the approval of our shareholders, any “share recycling” efforts by our Company and the obtaining of any debt or equity financing (including Transaction Financing (as defined below), ratings or governmental or other third-party approvals.
The parties shall take all action necessary so that, effective at the Closing, the post-Closing board of directors of our Company will consist of seven (7) individuals, one (1) of whom will be designated by us (who shall be an independent director in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq, three (3) of whom will be designated by Abra (at least one (1) of whom shall be an independent director in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq), one (1) person who shall be our chief executive officer immediately following the Closing, and two (2) additional members (who shall be independent directors in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq) to be mutually agreed upon by our Company and Abra prior to the Closing, each of whom shall have expertise in the financial technology/financial regulation industry. The parties shall also take all action necessary so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of our Company immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of Abra immediately prior to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, Abra desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case, such other person(s) identified by Abra shall serve in such role or roles).
During the Interim Period, our Company and Abra shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into written agreements for Transaction Financings with aggregate proceeds of at least $150 million (on such terms and structuring and using such strategy, placement agents and approach, as our Company and Abra shall mutually agree). “Transaction Financing” means a capital raising transaction in connection with the Abra Business Combination structured as one or a combination of common equity, preferred equity, convertible equity or debt, non-redemption or backstop arrangements with respect to the Trust Account, a committed equity facility, debt facility, and/or other sources of cash or cash equivalents, in each case, whether such investment is into our Company or Abra.

The Abra BCA may also be terminated under certain other customary and limited circumstances at any time prior the Closing, including, among other reasons: (i) by mutual written consent of our Company and Abra; (ii) by written notice by either our Company or Abra to the other if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Abra Business Combination, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iii) by Abra for our uncured material breach of Abra BCA, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (iv) by us for Abra’s uncured material breach of the Abra BCA, such that the related closing condition would not be met; (v) by us, if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on Abra following the date of the Abra BCA which is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured prior to twenty (20) business days after written notice thereof is delivered to Abra; (vi) by either Abra or us if we hold the SPAC Special Meeting to approve the Abra BCA and the Abra Business Combination, and such approval is not obtained; (vii) by either Abra or us if Abra does not receive its stockholder approval within ten (10) business days following the Abra Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC; and (viii) by written notice from us to Abra if Abra has not delivered the Audited Financials on or before the Audit Delivery Date.

The Abra BCA is governed by New York law and, the parties are subject to exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in New York County, State of New York (and any appellate courts thereof).
For more information on thee Abra Business Combination, please see the 2025 Annual Report.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since December 4, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering, (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination and (z) consummating the Abra Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income of $2,236,828, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,768,034, offset by general and administrative costs of $531,206.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $2,052,904, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,208,932, offset by general and administrative costs of $156,028.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income of $3,608,260, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,493,810, offset by general and administrative costs of $1,885,550.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $1,992,219, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,208,932, offset by general and administrative costs of $216,713.
29
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Our liquidity needs through April 25, 2025 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares and (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. Following the Initial Public Offering, and the Private Placement, our liquidity needs through June 30, 2026 have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.
Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $301,650,750 was initially placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $18,631,614, consisting of $5,220,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Underwriting Fee of $12,789,000, and $622,614 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $837,770. Net income of $3,608,260 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,493,810. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,047,780 of cash for operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $354,652. Net income of $1,992,219 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,208,932. Changes in operating assets and liabilities utilized $137,939 of cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $315,489,953 (including $13,839,203 of interest income), which was invested in money market funds that invest in U.S. treasury securities. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
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 Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct Continental 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.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $63,822 and a working capital deficit of $1,171,114. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
IPO Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $285,045 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on April 25, 2025. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note.
30
Working Capital Loans
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans.
On June 8, 2026, the Company issued the WCL Notes. The WCL Notes do not bear interest and mature upon the earlier of the closing of an initial Business Combination by the Company and the Company’s liquidation. Amounts outstanding under the WCL Notes are convertible into Conversion Units. Conversion Units will be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor at the Initial Public Offering. The Conversion Units are entitled to registration rights. As of June 30, 2026, no amounts were drawn from the WCL Notes.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report under Item 1 “Financial Statements” are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after April 25, 2027. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on April 23, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $60,000 and $120,000 in fees for these services, respectively, and paid $140,000 of which $20,000 is reported as prepaid expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $42,000 and $62,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $20,000 is included in prepaid expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2025.
31
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,915,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 25, 2025, the Underwriters fully exercised their Over-Allotment Option.
The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $5,220,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units offered in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of (i) 4.00% of the gross proceeds of the base Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and (ii) 6.00% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, which equates to $12,789,000 in the aggregate following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Cantor may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, Cantor may participate in a “piggyback” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Letter Agreement
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers have agreed that: (x) the Founder Shares shall be subject to a transfer restrictions of the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of our initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after our initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of our initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, (y) the Private Placement Units (including their underlying securities) shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (z) any Units, Warrants, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares or Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days.
Company Support Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Company Support Stockholders entered into Company Support Agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, each Company Support Stockholder agreed to vote its Subject Stock in favor of the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary documents, the approval of the Transactions and any amendments to Abra’s organizational documents in connection therewith, subject to certain customary conditions. Each Company Support Stockholder also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) and to refrain from taking actions that would adversely affect their ability to perform such Company Support Stockholder’s obligations under the Company Support Agreement and each such Company Support Stockholder unconditionally and irrevocably waived any and all pre-emption rights, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal, rights of participation, tag-along rights and all other similar rights that such Company Support Stockholder may have in respect of the Transactions. Each Company Support Stockholder also agreed not to transfer their Subject Stock during the period from and including the date of the Company Support Agreement and the first to occur of the date of Closing or the date on which the Company Support Agreement is terminated, subject to certain customary exceptions.
32
Lock-Up Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Lock-Up Holders entered into Lock-Up Agreements, pursuant to which each Lock-Up Holder agreed not to (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be received by such Lock-Up Holder in the Transactions, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing from the Closing and ending on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing (subject to early release on the earlier upon (x) the date on which the volume-weighted average trading price of Pubco Class A Shares quoted on Nasdaq (or such other exchange on which the Pubco Class A Shares may then be listed) is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 10 trading days within any 20 trading day period beginning after the Closing and (y) subsequent to the Closing, the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Company’s Common Stock for cash, securities, or other property), subject to certain customary transfer exceptions.
Sponsor Support Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Abra and the Sponsor, entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (A) waive its anti-dilution rights with respect to the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor; and (B) vote all of the Company’s ordinary shares held by it in favor of (i) the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions (ii) each other proposal included in the proxy statement for the Company Special Meeting and for which the Company’s board of directors has recommended that the Company shareholders vote in favor and against any competing transaction. In addition to the foregoing, the Sponsor Support Agreement prevents transfers of the securities of the Company held by the Sponsor between the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and its termination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed to amend the Insider Letter, as follows:
With respect to the Unlocked Founder Shares:
| (a) | If the Net Cash Proceeds upon the Closing are less than $75 million, the Unlocked Founder Shares shall be subject to Lock-Up (as defined in the Insider Letter) for a period of 180 days following the Closing; |
| (b) | If the Net Cash Proceeds are equal to or greater than $75 million, but less than $100 million, the Unlocked Founder Shares shall be subject to Lock-Up (as defined in the Insider Letter) for a period of 90 days following the Closing; |
| (c) | If the Net Cash Proceeds are equal to or greater than $100 million, the Unlocked Founder Shares shall not be subject to Lock-Up (as defined in the Insider Letter) and will be freely tradeable upon the Closing (subject to any restrictions imposed by the Securities Act). |
With respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, such Founder Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing, provided, that such Founder Shares will released from Lock-Up (as defined in the Insider Letter), during the Lock-Up Period, the volume-weighted average price of SPAC’s common stock is equal to or greater than $12.50 for 10 trading days in any 20-trading day period.
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Mr. Barhydt, the Chief Executive Officer of Abra (the “Non-Compete Party”), entered into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Competition Agreement”) in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Covered Parties”), pursuant to which the Non-Compete Party will agree for a period of 2 years after the Closing not to compete with the Covered Parties and not to solicit the employees and customers of the Covered Parties. The Non-Compete Party also agreed not to disparage the Covered Parties and to customary confidentiality requirements.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of Abra will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Amended Registration Rights Agreement”) that will amend and restate the registration rights agreement entered into at the time of the Company’s initial public offering, pursuant to which such stockholders of the Company, along with certain existing shareholders of the Company, will be entitled to customary demand and piggyback registration rights.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” could be materially affected. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report is the determination of the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued during the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any other critical accounting estimates requiring disclosure, as the warrants are classified as equity and are not subject to remeasurement at each reporting period.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for risks relating to our operations, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2025 Annual Report and (iii) 2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q, 2025 Third Quarter Form 10-Q and 2026 First Quarter Form 10-Q. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
For risks related to Abra and the Abra Business Combination, please see the Abra Registration Statement once filed.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by this Report. However, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 872,075 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $8,720,750. Of those 872,075 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 611,075 Private Placement Units and Cantor purchased 261,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by this Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.
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 Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct Continental 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.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by this Report.
