Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our final prospectus for our initial public offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2025. Our securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may include, for example, statements about our:
| ● | ability<br> to complete our initial business combination; |
|---|---|
| ● | success<br> in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination; |
| ● | officers<br> and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving<br> our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements; |
| ● | potential<br> ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination; |
| ● | pool<br> of prospective target businesses; |
| ● | the<br> ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential investment opportunities; |
| ● | the<br> delisting of our securities from Nasdaq or an inability to have our securities listed on Nasdaq following a business combination; |
| ● | potential<br> change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for share; |
| ● | the<br> potential liquidity and trading of our securities; |
| ● | the<br> lack of a market for our securities; |
| ● | use<br> of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or |
| ● | financial<br> performance. |
The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not intend and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws and/or if and when management knows or has a reasonable basis on which to conclude that previously disclosed projections are no longer reasonably attainable.

PART
I
Item1. Business.
General
We are a blank check company incorporated on September 25, 2024 in Cayman Islands as an exempted company, incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer herein as our “initial business combination” or “Business Combination.”
The registration statement (File No. 333-284189) (the “Registration Statement”) for our initial public offering was declared effective on July 1, 2025 (the “IPO”). On July 3, 2025, we consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 355,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Origin Equity LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $3,550,000. Each private unit will be identical to the public units sold in this offering, except as described in this Annual Report. Upon the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment an additional 18,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Company’s sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $180,000.
Following the closing of the IPO and over-allotment option, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account.

OurCompetitive Advantages
Leadership of an Experienced Management Team and Board of Directors
Our management team is led by our director and Chief Executive Officer, Yung-Hsi (“Edward”) Chang and (ii) independent directors Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao, Derek Alef and Daniel Alef.
EstablishedDeal Sourcing Network
We believe that our management team’s strong background, contacts and sources and geographic reach will provide us with high quality acquisition opportunities and possibly complementary follow-on business arrangements. These contacts and sources include industry executives, private owners, private equity funds, family offices, commercial and investment bankers, lawyers and other financial sector service providers and participants.
Statusas a Publicly Listed Acquisition Company
We believe that we will be an attractive initial 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 process. We believe that some of our target businesses will favor this alternative, which we believe is more cost effective while also offering greater certainty of execution than would a traditional initial public offering process. Once public, we believe that 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. It can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aiding in attracting talented management staff.
With respect to the foregoing examples and descriptions, past performance by our management team is not a guarantee either (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or (ii) of success with respect to any initial business combination we may consummate. Potential investors should not rely upon the historical record of our management as indicative of future performance.
BusinessStrategy
We will seek to capitalize on the strength of our team. Our team consists of experienced financial services, accounting, technology and senior operating executives of companies operating in multiple jurisdictions. Collectively, our officers and directors have decades of experience in mergers and acquisitions and in operating companies and initial public offerings. While our sponsor, its affiliates, and our promoters lack experience in organizing special purpose acquisition companies and are not involved in other special purpose acquisition companies, we believe that their prior accomplishments and current activities will be critical in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities. Moreover, we expect that the businesses we target will benefit from access to the U.S. capital markets, as well as the expertise and network of our management team. However, there is no assurance that we will complete an initial business combination.
AsiaFocus
While there is no restriction on the geographic location of the targets that we can pursue, we intend to initially focus on target businesses in Asia. In particular, we intend to focus our search for a target business on private companies in Asia that have compelling economics, clear paths to positive operating cash flow, and successful management teams that are seeking access to the U.S. public capital markets.
As an emerging market, Asia has experienced significant growth. The Asian economy has experienced sustained expansion in recent years. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Asian emerging market and developing economies are expected to expand 5.2% in 2024, compared to 3.2% for overall global growth.
However, this region is facing a tough IPO market and valuation, with Asia Pacific IPO proceeds dropping 33% in 2023. Consequently, PE exits through IPOs represented only 13% of total PE exits, compared to approximately 22% over the past five years, according to Deloitte. As a result, targets may view deSPAC transactions as an attractive alternative to traditional IPOs, which we expect will result in initial business combination opportunities for us.
IndustryOpportunity
While we may acquire a business in any industry, our focus will be middle market and emerging growth companies in the Financial Services, Technology, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical, Advanced Materials, and Clean Energy. We believe that our target industries are attractive for a number of reasons:
Financial Services: The financial service industry is experiencing transformative growth, characterized by rapid technological advancements, regulatory changes, and evolving consumer expectations. We believe that the technological breakthroughs-including generative AI, blockchain, cloud migration, and cybersecurity enhancement-will open up new strategic opportunities.
Technology: The technology sector outperformed the S&P 500® in 2023 and continued its strong performance into the first half of 2024. Pivotal and continuous advancements in AI have created compelling investment opportunities and are expected to fuel long-term sector growth. Agile private technology companies that have capitalized these advancements are well-positioned to scale financially and generate shareholder value.
Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical: These industries represent a large target market with constant innovation and substantial investment in innovative technologies. In 2023, there are 1256 total transactions across venture rounds, IPOs, licensing deals, and M&A in the biopharma industry according to JP Morgan. We believe that the dynamics suggest extensive business combination opportunities.
Advanced Materials: The global advanced materials market is projected to reach $582.3 billion revenue by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2%, according to P&S Intelligence. The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to lead the growth, attributed to the high concentration of manufacturers and robust industrial activities within the area.
| 5 |
| --- |
Clean Energy: The shift towards sustainable energy sources is accelerating the growth of the clean energy sector. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), clean energy investment increased nearly 50% from 2019 to 2023, reaching $1.8 trillion in 2023. Global clean energy deployment scaled new heights in 2023, with annual additions of solar PV and wind growing 85% and 60% respectively. This growth is supported by worldwide initiatives to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impacts.
We believe these industries represent an enormous and growing target market with a large number of potential target acquisition opportunities. Our team has extensive network, industry expertise, and proven deal-sourcing capabilities in these industries, which will provide us with a strong and differentiated pipeline of potential targets.
AcquisitionCriteria
Our management team intends to focus on creating shareholder value by leveraging its experience in the management, operation, and financing of businesses to improve the efficiency of operations while implementing strategies to scale revenue organically and/or through acquisitions. We have identified the following general criteria and guidelines, which we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these criteria and guidelines should we see justification to do so.
| ● | Strong<br> Management Team that Can Create Significant Value for Target Business. We will seek to identify companies with strong and experienced<br> management teams that will complement the operating and investment abilities of our management team. We believe that the operating<br> expertise of our management team is well suited to complement many potential targets’ management teams. |
|---|---|
| ● | Revenue<br> and Earnings Growth Potential. We will seek to acquire one or more businesses that have the potential for significant revenue and<br> earnings growth through a combination of both existing and new product development, increased production capacity, expense reduction<br> and synergistic follow-on acquisitions resulting in increased operating leverage. |
| ● | Potential<br> for Strong Free Cash Flow Generation. We will seek to acquire one or more businesses that have the potential to generate strong,<br> stable, and increasing free cash flow, particularly businesses with predictable revenue streams and definable low working capital<br> and capital expenditure requirements. We may also seek to prudently leverage this cash flow in order to enhance shareholder value. |
| ● | Benefit<br> from Being a Public Company. We intend to acquire a business or businesses that will benefit from being publicly traded and which<br> can effectively utilize access to broader sources of capital and a public profile that are associated with being a publicly traded<br> company. |
These criteria do not intend 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 sponsor and management team may deem relevant.
Employees
We currently have one officer. This individual is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but he intend to devote as much of his time as he deems necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time he will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination.

Item1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Annual Report.
Item1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
Item1C. Cybersecurity.
As a blank check company, we have no operations and therefore do not have any operations of our own that face material cybersecurity threats. However, we do depend on the digital technologies of third parties, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, any sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, systems or infrastructure or the cloud that we utilize, including those of third parties, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. Because of our reliance on the technologies of third parties, we also depend upon the personnel and the processes of third parties to protect against cybersecurity threats, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. We have not adopted any cybersecurity risk management program or formal processes for assessing cybersecurity risk. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, the management team will report to our board of directors and provide updates on the management team’s incident response plan for addressing and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.
Item2. Properties.
We currently maintain our executive offices at CapitaGreen, Level 24, 138 Market St, Singapore. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Item3. Legal Proceedings.
We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Item4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.

Item5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
MarketInformation

Holders
On March 23, 2026, there were fourteen holders of record of our Units, two holders of record of our ordinary shares, and two holders of record of our Warrants. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of ordinary shares whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. A Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or the share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if following such payment the company would be unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. In addition, board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any other share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

References in this report (this “Annual Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Origin Investment Corp I. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Origin Equity LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-LookingStatements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-K including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the proposed business combination, the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the proposed business combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the final prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2025. The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 25, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Charter. Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote for such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account, and our capitalization may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, as described below, and identifying a target company for our Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on assets held in our Trust Account (defined below). We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had net income of $683,099, which resulted from interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,361,271 offset by general and administrative expenses of $678,173.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $8,218, which resulted from general and administrative expenses.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by numerous factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact on our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, CapitalResources and Going Concern
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 1, 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 units (the “Public Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 355,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Origin Equity LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $3,550,000. Each private unit will be identical to the public units sold in this offering, except as described in this Annual Report. Upon full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment an additional 18,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Company’s sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $180,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $1,638,581, consisting of $690,000 of Underwriting commissions paid at closing (1% of gross proceeds from units offered to public), $344,900 for value of the Representative Units (Note 6) issued and $603,681 of other offering costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $694,715. Net income of $683,099 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,361,271, and payment of operation costs $678,173. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $694,715 of cash for operating activities.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0. The net loss of $8,218 was fully offset by $8,218 due to operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by payment of operating expenses through promissory note – related party.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $69,600,000 and affected by cash deposited in Trust Account.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $0.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $71,436,538, which was due to proceeds from the sale of Units (as defined below), and Private Placement Warrants (as defined below).
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.
As of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $70,825,901 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any.
We intend to use substantially all the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned in the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), 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’s 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.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash of $1,151,773. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
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 funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. If a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of December 31, 2025, the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence, and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because the Company may become obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance SheetArrangements
As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to an affiliate of the Sponsor $25,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the management team.
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units to cover overallotments, if any. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statement and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to ReportableSegment Disclosures(“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss.
The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on September 25, 2024, the date of its incorporation. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief financial officer (our “certifying officer”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our certifying officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
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.
Management’sReport on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FamilyRelationships
Other than Daniel Alef and Derek Alef, who are father and son, there are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.
Number,Terms of Office and Appointment of Officers and Directors
Our board of directors consist of four members. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board or by a majority of the holders of our founder shares.
Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that our officers may consist of a Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
DirectorIndependence
The NASDAQ listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). We have three “independent directors” as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules prior to completion of this offering. Our board has determined that each of Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao, Derek Alef and Daniel Alef are independent directors under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Officerand Director Compensation
Except that our sponsor has agreed to transfer 25,000 founder shares to Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao, 13,000 founder shares to Daniel Alef, and 13,000 founder shares to Derek Alef, prior to the closing of this offering, provided that in either case the directors remain with us until the closing of a business combination. None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We are not prohibited from paying any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, including the following payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account:
| ● | Repayment<br> of up to an aggregate of $500,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses; |
|---|---|
| ● | Reimbursement<br> for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support made available to us by our sponsor or an affiliate thereof,<br> in an amount equal to $25,000 per month; |
| 14 |
| --- | | ● | Payment<br> of consulting, success or finder fees to our independent directors, advisor, or their respective affiliates in connection with the<br> consummation of our initial business combination; | | --- | --- | | ● | We<br> may engage our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial business combination<br> and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for<br> comparable transactions; | | ● | Reimbursement<br> for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination;<br> and | | ● | Repayment<br> of loans which may be made by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction<br> costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private<br> placement warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the applicable lender.<br> Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have<br> not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. |
After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time such materials are distributed, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation.
Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committeesof the board of directors
Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, NASDAQ rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and NASDAQ rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
AuditCommittee
We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. The members of our audit committee are Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao and Derek Alef. Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao serves as chairman of the audit committee.
Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our Board of directors has determined that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
| ● | the<br> appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent<br> registered public accounting firm engaged by us; |
|---|---|
| ● | pre-approving<br> all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged<br> by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures; |
| ● | reviewing<br> and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence; |
| 15 |
| --- | | ● | setting<br> clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors; | | --- | --- | | ● | setting<br> clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; | | ● | obtaining<br> and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal<br> quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review,<br> of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within, the preceding five years<br> respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues; | | ● | reviewing<br> and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC<br> prior to us entering into such transaction; and | | --- | --- | | ● | reviewing<br> with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including<br> any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues<br> regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated<br> by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. |
CompensationCommittee
We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao and Derek Alef. Derek Alef serves as chairman of the compensation committee. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
| ● | reviewing<br> and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation,<br> evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the<br> remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation; |
|---|---|
| ● | reviewing<br> and approving the compensation of all of our other officers; |
| ● | reviewing<br> our executive compensation policies and plans; |
| ● | implementing<br> and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans; |
| ● | assisting<br> management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements; |
| ● | approving<br> all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees; |
| ● | producing<br> a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and |
| ● | reviewing,<br> evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors. |
The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NASDAQ and the SEC.
DirectorNominations
We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or NASDAQ rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
Prior to our initial business combination, the sponsor will have the ability to appoint and remove directors. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board.
| 16 |
| --- |
We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
CompensationCommittee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our board of directors.
ClawbackPolicy
We have adopted a compensation recovery policy that is compliant with Nasdaq listing rules as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Codeof Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our form of Code of Ethics and our audit committee charter as exhibits to the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with this offering. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Conflictsof Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
| ● | duty<br> to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole; |
|---|---|
| ● | duty<br> to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose; |
| ● | directors<br> should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion; |
| ● | duty<br> not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests;<br> and |
| ● | duty<br> to exercise independent judgment. |
In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

| --- |
Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may need to honor these fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. However, because the other entities to which our sponsor, officers and directors owe fiduciary duties or contractual obligations are not themselves in the business of engaging in business combinations, we do not expect these duties to materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) 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 us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
Potentialinvestors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
| ● | None<br> of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest<br> in allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
|---|---|
| ● | In<br> the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities<br> which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may<br> have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. For a complete description<br> of our management’s other affiliations, see “— Directors and Officers.” |
| ● | Our<br> sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to our founder shares, private shares and<br> public shares in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our sponsor, officers and directors<br> have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and private shares if we fail to consummate our<br> initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering. If we do not complete our initial business combination<br> within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private units held in the trust account will be used to will<br> be used to fund the redemption of our public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the private units and underlying<br> securities will be worthless. The private units (including the private warrants or ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the<br> private warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination<br> (except, among other limited exceptions as described under “Principal Shareholders,” to our officers and directors and<br> other persons or entities affiliated with the sponsor). Since our sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own<br> ordinary shares and warrants following this offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether<br> a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | Members<br> of our management team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own founder shares and/or private placement securities<br> following this offering and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is<br> an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. The nominal price of $0.014 per share ($25,000<br> in aggregate) that our sponsor, executive officers, and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the founder shares creates an<br> incentive whereby our officers, and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select an acquisition target<br> that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders. In addition, while the private placement securities<br> are identical to the securities sold in this offering, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in this Annual Report, the<br> public warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis. As a result, the sponsor may profit at times when an<br> unaffiliated security holder cannot profit, such as when the public warrants are called for redemption or if the sponsor chooses<br> to utilize the cashless exercise option under circumstances where the public warrant holders cannot exercise on a cashless basis.<br> If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months, the founder shares and private placement securities<br> may expire worthless, except to the extent they receive liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account, which could<br> create an incentive for our sponsor, executive officers and directors to complete a transaction even if we select an acquisition<br> target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders. Further, each of the members of our management<br> team may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation<br> of any such person was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. |
| ● | Certain<br> members of our management team may receive compensation upon consummation of our initial business combination, and accordingly, they<br> may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate<br> our initial business combination as such compensation will not be received unless we consummate such business combination. |
| ● | Our<br> officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention<br> or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect<br> to our initial business combination. |
| ● | In<br> the event our sponsor or members of our management team provide loans to us to finance transaction costs and/or incur expenses on<br> our behalf in connection with an intended initial business combination, such persons may have a conflict of interest in determining<br> whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our intended initial business combination<br> as such loans may not be repaid and/or such expenses may not be reimbursed unless we consummate such business combination. |
| ● | Similarly,<br> if we agree to pay our sponsor or a member of our management team a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee<br> in order to effectuate the completion of our intended initial business combination, such persons may have a conflict of interest<br> in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our intended initial business<br> combination as any such fee may not be paid unless we consummate such business combination. |
| ● | We<br> are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers<br> or directors, or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor,<br> executive officers or directors. |
| 18 |
| --- |
Upon closing of this offering or thereafter, we will repay up to $500,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses, and we will begin paying an affiliate of our sponsor $25,000 per month for office space and administrative and personnel services. In the event that following this offering we obtain working capital loans from our sponsor to finance transaction costs related to our initial business combination, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per units at the option of our sponsor. Additionally, following consummation of a business combination, members of our management team will be entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As a result, there may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between members of our management team, our sponsor and its affiliates on one hand, and purchasers in this offering on the other.
Prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the company to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account.
We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
In the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their initial shares, and they and the other members of our management team have agreed to vote their initial shares and any shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:
| Individual(1) | Entity | Entity’s Business | Affiliation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yung-Hsi<br> (“Edward”) Chang | Origin<br> Equity Partners | Financial<br> Services | Portfolio<br> Manager |
| Kuo-Shuai<br> (“Ringo”) Chao | Chinese<br> Culture University Alumni Association | Education | Chairman |
| Nankang<br> Rubber Tire Corp., Ltd. | Manufacturing | Advisor | |
| Derek<br> Alef | Deal<br> Tracking Solutions LLC | Consulting | Founder<br> and Director |
| Daniel<br> Alef | Executive<br> Committee of the International Law and Immigration Section of the California Lawyers Association | Association | Member |
| ^(1)^ | Each<br> of the entities listed in this table has priority and preference relative to our company with respect to the performance by each<br> individual listed in this table of his obligations and the presentation by each such individual of business opportunities. | ||

Limitationon Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default. We may purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Section16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our ordinary shares and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.
Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.
Item11. Executive Compensation.
None of our officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will pay our sponsor of up to $10,000 per month for administrative support services. In addition, our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the trust account or funds withdrawn for any permitted withdrawals. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the Company to our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.
It is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements with the post-transaction company after our initial business combination. Any such arrangements will be disclosed in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination, to the extent they are known at such time.
The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, but we do not believe that such arrangements will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.

Item12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters.
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 30, 2026 based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by:
| ● | each<br> person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding<br> Ordinary Shares; |
|---|---|
| ● | each<br> of our executive officers and directors that beneficially own our Ordinary Shares; and |
| ● | all<br> our executive officers and directors as a group. |
In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 8,625,000 shares of our Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants as such Private Placement Warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report.

Item13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
On September 25, 2024, our sponsor purchased 1,725,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.014 per share. Our sponsor has agreed to transfer 25,000 founder shares to Kuo-Shui (“Ringo”) Chao, 13,000 founder shares to Daniel Alef, and 13,000 founder shares to Derek Alef, provided that in either case the directors remain with us until the closing of a business combination. None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. The purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued. Our sponsor will own approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after this offering (not including the ordinary shares underlying the ThinkEquity units, the ordinary shares underlying the private units, or the ordinary shares underlying the units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans).
Our sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 355,000 private units (or 373,000 private units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per private unit in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. Each private unit consists of one private share, and one-half of one warrant granting the holder thereof the right to receive one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination.
| 22 |
| --- |
As more fully discussed in “Management — Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
We have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the founder shares, private units, and units issued upon conversion of working capital loans, and the securities underlying the private units, which is described under the heading “Principal Shareholders — Registration Rights.”
In addition, although there are no current plans to do so, in order to facilitate our initial business combination or a PIPE financing or for any other reason determined by our sponsor in its sole discretion, our sponsor may surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our founder 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.
RelatedParty Policy
We have not yet adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
We have adopted a Code of Ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our Code of Ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company. A form of our Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with this offering.
| 23 |
| --- |
In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we have adopted, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. Our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with this offering. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm, that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, the following payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of this offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
| ● | Repayment<br> of up to an aggregate of up to $500,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses; |
|---|---|
| ● | Payment<br> to our sponsor of $25,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support; |
| ● | Reimbursement<br> for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination; and |
| ● | Repayment<br> of loans which may be made by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction<br> costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written<br> agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units, at a price of<br> $10.00 at the option of the lender. |
Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
Item14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
The firm of WithumSmith+Brown, PC, or Withum, acts as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to Withum for services rendered.
AuditFees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Withum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Withum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information, the registration statement and other required filings with the SEC for the for the years ended of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $122,200 and $0, respectively.
Audit-RelatedFees. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Withum did not render assurance and related services related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements.
TaxFees. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Withum did not render services to us for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
AllOther Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Withum did not render any services to us other than those set forth above.
Pre-ApprovalPolicy
Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Origin Investment Corp I
Opinionon the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Origin Investment Corp I (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period from September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basisfor Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

ORIGIN INVESTMENT CORP I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS
OPERATIONS
Origin Investment Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 25, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any Business Combination target, and it has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to the Business Combination.
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of December, 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s
Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 1, 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 units (the “Public Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 355,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Origin Equity LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $3,550,000. Each private unit will be identical to the public units sold in this offering, except as described in this Annual Report. Upon the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment an additional 18,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Company’s sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $180,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $1,638,681, consisting
of $690,000 of Underwriting commissions paid at closing (1% of gross proceeds from units offered to public), $345,000 for value of the Representative Units (Note 6) issued and $603,681 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
and over-allotment option, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) and invested 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; 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 the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on the management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s 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 except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares (as defined below) if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Completion Window”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to the rights of holders of ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
| F-7 |
| --- |
The Company will provide the Company’s
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) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of an 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 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 was initially anticipated to be $10.10 per public share.
The ordinary shares subject to 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 (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If the Company is unable to complete its initial
Business Combination within the Completion Window, 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 and up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the public shares and completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered
into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares or private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Company’s 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 (except for the Company’s independent auditors), 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) $10.10 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot be sure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions).

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025 the Company had cash
of $ 1,151,773 and a working capital surplus of $1,085,029
In order to fund working capital or finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. 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. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that after the closing of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the private placement, the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company and that the Company would be able to continue as a going concern for the following twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the 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 Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

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 $1,151,773 and $0 in cash and no cash equivalents as on December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Investment Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $71,051,271 invested in money
market mutual funds held in the Trust Account.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred 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” (“ASC 470-20”) addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Warrants and then to the Class A Ordinary Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A Ordinary Shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Warrants were charged to shareholders’ equity, as Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrants, after Management’s evaluation, are accounted for under equity treatment in the accompanying financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amount represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for Promissory note - related party qualifies as a financial instrument and is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because of the short period between the origination of such instrument and its expected realization and its current market rate of interest.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as<br> quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
|---|---|
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices<br> in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets<br> or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which<br> little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation<br> techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to 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 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 shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income (loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company.
Warrants were excluded from the calculation because their exercise is contingent upon future events and they were not dilutive for the period presented. Accordingly, diluted income per ordinary share is equal to basic income per ordinary share.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s 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 December 31, 2025 or 2024, there were no 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.
Share-based Compensation.
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Share Compensation” (“ASC 718”), guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to be vest. Share-based payments are valued by multiplying the marketable value per Founder Share by the probability of successful closing of an initial Business Combination. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the accompanying statements of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriter’s over-allotment option is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 if not fully exercised at the time of the Initial Public Offering.
| F-12 |
| --- |
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the warrant is outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statements of operations.
The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not precluded from equity classification and were accounted for as such on the date of issuance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures’. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on September 25, 2024, date of incorporation. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on July
3, 2025, the Company sold 6,900,000 Units, (including 900,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option on July 18, 2025) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable public warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Each Public Warrant becomes exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
| F-13 |
| --- |
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering on July 3, 2025 and the underwriter’s over-allotment option exercised in full on July 18, 2025, the Company sold 355,000 and 18,000 Private Placement Units respectively at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable Private Warrant. Each whole Private Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Such Private units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, any proceeds from the sale of the Private units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). Holders of the Private units have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, private shares included in any Private units and Public Shares in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the implementation by the directors of, following a shareholder vote to approve, an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the ordinary shares. The Private units (including any private shares or Private Placement Warrants included in such Private units) will not be transferable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Certain proceeds from the Private units will be added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account.
NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On September 25, 2024, the Sponsor paid cost
totaling $25,000 on behalf of the Company, or approximately $0.014 per share in consideration for 1,725,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares” or “founder shares”) issued to the Sponsor. Prior to the above issuance, one share was issued to Maples Corporate Services Limited and subsequently surrendered back and cancelled by the Company. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 225,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the 225,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
On July 3, 2025, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate
of 51,000 founder shares to the three independent directors of the Company in exchange for their services as independent directors through the Company’s initial Business Combination. The transfer of the founder shares to the holders are in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the assignment date. The total fair value of the 51,000 founder shares assigned to the holders on July 3, 2025 was $105,570 or $2.07 per share. The shares were transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination).
The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on July
1, 2025, the date of the first grant agreement, using a calculation prepared by a third-party valuation team that takes into consideration a risk free rate of 3.94% and a share price of $9.80. The membership interests were assigned subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through the Business Combination). Share-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of membership interests that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per Founder Share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the assignment of the membership interests. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of shares that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the shares. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
The Founder Shares are redesignated as ordinary shares upon the adoption of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
| F-14 |
| --- |
The Founder Shares are identical to the ordinary
shares included in the units being sold in this offering, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights; (iii) our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, (C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Founder Shares or private placement shares if we fail to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account and (D) vote any Founder Shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On October 14, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $0 and $169,877, respectively, outstanding under the Promissory Note. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering the Note was settled in full and borrowings are no longer available.
Due from Sponsor
During 2025,
the Sponsor owed the Company
an aggregate amount of $493,600. This obligation was adjusted against amount payable under the Note and was fully settled by December 31, 2025.
Administrative Support Services
Commencing on the effective date of the Initial
Public Offering on July 3, 2025 and through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $25,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of its initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company has accrued and incurred $150,000 under the administrative services agreement, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations, for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, any of their respective affiliates or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans for each such person may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private units. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
The initial shareholders, as the holders of the Founder Shares and Private units, including from time to time the public shares, Private units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, any private shares or Private Placement Warrants included in the Private units, any ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of warrants they may hold or acquire, and any warrants, including Private Placement Warrants, that they may hold or acquire, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day
option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase the Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting
discount of 1% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, $690,000 (including the underwriter’s full exercise of the over-allotment), which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the over-allotment option. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to receive 0.5% of the number of Units sold or 34,500 units in the aggregate (the “Representative Units”) with such Units restricted from sale until the closing of the Initial Business Combination and with no rights to the Trust Account. The Representative’s Units are identical to the Private Placement Units, except that the Representative’s Units will be purchased in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and will not become freely tradable until after certain conditions are met and the resale of such Representative Units is registered under the Act.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

NOTE 7 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preference Shares — The Company
is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. There were no preference shares issued or outstanding on December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.
As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,132,500
ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding the 6,900,000 shares subject to possible redemption). As of December 31, 2024 there were 1,725,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Warrants — As of December 31,2025
there were 3,857,500 Warrants outstanding, including 3,450,000 Public Warrants, 373,000 Private Placement Warrants and 34,500 warrants underlying the Representative Units. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.
The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company is registering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants in the registration statement of which the prospectus, in which these financial statements are included, forms a part because the Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, which may be within one year of the Initial Public Offering. However, because the Public Warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of up to five years after the completion of the Business Combination, in order to comply with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th 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 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 warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” 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, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z)
the volume weighted average
trading price of ordinary shares during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. See “— Redemption of warrants when the price per ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” below.
| F-17 |
| --- |
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except (i) that the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and (iii) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and have certain registration rights.
Redemption of warrants when the price per ordinary
shares equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
|---|---|
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written<br> notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the last reported sale price<br> of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending<br> on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.
In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Public Warrants on the
day of the IPO was $1,170,000 or $ 0.39 per Public Warrant. The fair value of the Public Warrants was determined using Black- Scholes Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholder’s equity and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants used in the Level 3 valuation of Public Warrants:

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for companies to report, in their financial statements, information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets, which include the following:
SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT INFORMATION
| December 31, 2025 | December31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investments held in Trust Account | $ | 71,051,271 | $ | - |
| Cash | $ | 1,151,773 | ||

| General and administrative expenses | $ | 678,172 | $ | 8,218 |
| Interest income on investments held in Trust Account | $ | 1,361,271 | $ | - |
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete an Initial Public Offering and eventually a Business Combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Exhibit4.5
DESCRIPTIONOF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
As of December 31, 2025, Origin Investment Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“we,” “our,” “us” or “Company”), had the following three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): our (i) units (the “Units”), consisting of one ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares” ) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), (ii) Ordinary Shares, and (iii) Public Warrants, with each whole Public Warrant exercisable for one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share.
Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended and currently in effect (the “Amended and RestatedCharter”), our authorized share capital consists of 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value per share, and 1,000,000 preference shares, $0.0001 par value per share. The following description summarizes the material terms of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Amended and Restated Charter and the warrant agreement, dated July 1, 2025, we entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”) each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 8, 2025.
Defined terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Report.
Units
Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of the Ordinary Shares.
OrdinaryShares
Holders of record of Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders at meetings of shareholders. However, only our sponsor has the right to (i) appoint or remove directors in any election held prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, meaning that holders of Ordinary Shares will not have the right to appoint any directors until after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) continue the company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend or to adopt a new Amended and Restated Charter, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). The provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter governing these matters prior to our initial Business Combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of our initial Business Combination, 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 at the applicable general meeting of our shareholders. On any other matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination. Approval of certain actions will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as outlined above) requires 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 at the applicable general meeting of our shareholders, and pursuant to our Amended and Restated Charter; such actions include amending our Amended and Restated Charter (other than the provisions referred to above) and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares entitled to vote and voted for the appointment of directors can appoint all of the directors. Our shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.
We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, our initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination 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 our initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination.
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 Amended and Restated Charter provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming such Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering (“Excess Shares”) without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our Public Shareholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial Business Combination. Our Public Shareholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, and such Public Shareholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such Public Shareholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial Business Combination. And, as a result, such Public Shareholders will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose such Public Shares would be required to sell their Public Shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company after a Business Combination, our shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the Ordinary Shares. Our shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that we will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash at a per share price equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, upon the completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described in the Report.
RedeemableWarrants
Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the Warrant Agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder.
The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We will not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the Ordinary Share issuable upon such Public 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 Public 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 Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Public Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Public Share underlying such Unit.
We registered the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants in the IPO Registration Statement because the Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, which may be within one year of the Initial Public Offering. However, because the Public Warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of up to five years after the completion of our initial Business Combination, in order to comply with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of our initial Business Combination, under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of our initial Business Combination, we will use our 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 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and thereafter will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following our initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60) business day after the closing of our initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Public 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, we may, at our 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 we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.
Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
| ● | in<br> whole and not in part; |
|---|---|
| ● | at<br> a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant; upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice<br> of redemption; and |
| ● | if,<br> and only if, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share<br> (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise<br> price of a Public Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing<br> at least 30 days after completion of our initial Business Combination and ending three business<br> days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
We will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Ordinary Shares is available throughout the measurement period. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify such Ordinary Shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the Public Warrants were offered by us in the Initial Public Offering.
A holder of a Public Warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Public Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The Public Warrants have certain anti-dilution and adjustment rights upon certain events.
The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement between Continental, as warrant agent, and us. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the Public Warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in the Report, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, (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 Public Warrants or (iv) to provide for the delivery of the Alternative Issuance (as defined in the Warrant Agreement). All other modifications or amendments require the vote or written consent the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants, except that amending our Warrant Agreement requires a vote of holders of at least 50% of the (x) Private Placement Warrants (including the vote or written consent of the underwriters) or (y) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (the “WCL Warrants”) solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or WCL Warrants (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the forfeiture or cancellation of any Private Placement Warrants or WCL Warrants). Our shareholders should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the IPO Registration Statement for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Public Warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Ordinary Shares and any voting rights until they exercise their Public Warrants and receive Ordinary Shares. After the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the warrant holder.
EXHIBIT19
ORIGININVESTMENT CORP I
INSIDERTRADING POLICY
| A. | Background/Purpose |
|---|
Under federal and state securities laws, it is illegal to purchase or sell securities of Origin Investment Corp I (the “Company”) while in possession of material, non-public information related to, affecting or regarding the Company or its subsidiaries (such information, “Inside Information”), or to disclose Inside Information to others who then trade in the securities of the Company. Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other governmental agencies and can result in severe penalties. While the regulatory authorities usually concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip Inside Information to others who trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on companies and other “controlling persons” if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel.
The Company has adopted this Policy on Inside Information and Insider Trading (this “Policy”) both to satisfy the Company’s obligation to prevent insider trading and to help the Company’s personnel and its external advisors avoid violating insider trading laws.
| B. | Applicability of Policy |
|---|
1.Covered Persons. This Policy applies to the following people (collectively, “Covered Persons”):
| ● | all<br> officers of the Company; |
|---|---|
| ● | all<br> members of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Directors”); |
| ● | all<br> employees of the Company; and |
| ● | any<br> family members of the foregoing persons. For the purposes of this Policy, the term “family member” means a spouse, parent,<br> stepparent, child, stepchild, sibling, mother and father-in law, son and daughter-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, and anyone (other<br> than a domestic employee or tenant) who shares the director’s home. |
The failure of any person subject to this Policy to observe and strictly adhere to the policies and procedures set forth herein at all times will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. To ensure that Company confidences are protected to the maximum extent possible, no individuals other than specifically authorized personnel may release material information to the public, or respond to inquiries from the media, analysts or others outside the Company.
All consultants and outside advisors assisting the Company on sensitive matters are expected to abide by the Policy, although the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to the actions of persons who are not under its direct control. However, the failure of consultants and outside advisers to observe the policies and procedures set forth herein will be grounds for termination of the consultant’s or outside adviser’s relationship with the Company.
2.Covered Transactions.
This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including ordinary shares (including any securities that are exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into, ordinary shares) and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time whether or not pursuant to any benefit plan adopted by the Company.
For purposes of this Policy, the Company considers transactions between Covered Persons and the Company with respect to grants under its equity incentive plan (or, to the extent applicable, granted outside such plan) to be exempt from this Policy. Such transactions include, without limitation, the following:
| ● | the<br> exercise of options for cash; |
|---|---|
| ● | the<br> exercise of options on a “net exercise” basis pursuant to which an optionee either (i) delivers outstanding ordinary<br> shares to the Company, or (ii) authorizes the Company to withhold from issuance ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the option,<br> in either case, having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price; or |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the<br> forfeiture to the Company of restricted ordinary shares or share units to cover withholding tax obligations. |
| --- | --- |
Thus, restrictions contained in this Policy would apply to the sale of the Company’s securities in the open market to pay the exercise price of an option and to the “cashless exercise” effected through a broker or “same day sale” of an option. In addition, any sale of the underlying securities acquired upon the exercise of an option is subject to the Policy. This Policy does not apply to the granting of options or other equity awards.
In addition to the other restrictions set forth in this Policy, the following transactions are strictly prohibited at all times:
| ● | trading<br> in call or put options involving the Company’s securities and other derivative securities; |
|---|---|
| ● | engaging<br> in short sales of the Company’s securities (i.e., the sale of a security that the seller does not own); and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | engaging<br> in hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, such as prepaid variable forwards, equity<br> swaps, collars and exchange funds. |
| --- | --- |
If you are unsure whether or not a particular transaction is prohibited under this Policy, you should consult with the Chief Financial Officer, prior to engaging in, or entering into, an agreement, understanding or arrangement to engage in, such transaction.
| C. | General Policy |
|---|
No Covered Person who is in possession of Inside Information may, either directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through a family member, friend or entity in which you or any of your family members is a director, officer or controlling equity holder or beneficiary), (i) purchase or sell the Company’s securities, (ii) engage in any other action to take advantage of Inside Information, or (iii) provide Inside Information to any other person outside of the Company, including family and friends.
In addition, Covered Persons may not purchase or sell any securities of any other company, such as a lender, possible acquisition target or competitor of the Company, when in possession of material non-public information concerning any such other company obtained in the course of his or her employment with, or service to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
| D. | Specific Policies |
|---|
1.Black-out Periods.
All Directors and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as all employees of the Company that provide financial or accounting services to the Company and any other persons as may be designated from time to time by the Chief Financial Officer, as well as any family members or other persons that reside in the same household as those persons (all of the foregoing being “RestrictedPersons”) are subject to additional restrictions on their ability to engage in purchase or sale transactions involving the Company’s securities. Restricted Persons are more likely to have access to Inside Information regarding the Company because of their positions or affiliations with the Company and, as a result, their trades in the Company’s securities are more likely to be subject to greater scrutiny. Accordingly, Restricted Persons are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities during the period beginning on the 15th day of the last month of each fiscal quarter and ending two (2) trading days following public disclosure of the financial results for that quarter or the full year, as the case may be. Furthermore, a Restricted Person who is in possession of any material nonpublic information should not trade in the Company’s securities until the information has been made publicly available or is no longer material.
In addition, from time to time, the Company may impose special black-out periods on Restricted Persons and other employees of the Company if, in the judgment of the Chief Financial Officer, it is likely that such person or persons have become aware of significant corporate developments that have not yet been disclosed to the public, even when trading otherwise may be permitted. In the event that certain Restricted Persons or other employees of the Company become subject to a special black-out period, such persons are prohibited from (i) trading in the Company’s securities, and (ii) disclosing to others the fact they are subject to such special black-out period. These special black-out periods may vary in length and may or may not be broadly communicated to Covered Persons. This restriction does not apply to transactions made under a pre-planned trading program adopted to purchase or sell securities in the future which pre-planned trading program (an “approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plan”) (i) is in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) has been pre-cleared in advance, in writing, by the Chief Financial Officer (or, if the person implementing such program is the Chief Financial Officer, by the Chief Executive Officer). The Company would re-open trading at the beginning of the 3rd trading day following the date of public disclosure of such significant corporate developments.
2.“Tipping” of Information.
Covered Persons may not disclose, convey or “tip” Inside Information to any person by providing them with Inside Information other than to disclose on a “need to know” basis to officers and employees of the Company or outside advisors in the course of performing their duties for the Company. When sharing Inside Information with other officers and employees of the Company or outside advisors, or other persons involved in the business and affairs of the Company, such information should be confined to as small a group as possible. Unlawful tipping includes passing on Inside Information to friends, family members or acquaintances under circumstances that suggest that persons subject to this Policy were trying to help the recipients of such information to make a profit or avoid a loss by trading in the Company’s securities based on such information.
3.Pre-clearance.
A Restricted Person must obtain prior clearance from the Chief Financial Officer (or, if the Restricted Person is the Chief Financial Officer, from the Chief Executive Officer) before such Restricted Person makes any purchases or sales of the Company’s securities, regardless of whether or not a black-out period is then in effect. In evaluating each proposed transaction, the Chief Financial Officer (or, if the Restricted Person is the Chief Financial Officer, from the Chief Executive Officer) will consult as necessary with senior management and outside counsel before clearing any proposed trade. Clearance of a transaction is valid for no more than the five (5) business day period immediately following receipt by the Restricted Person of such clearance. If clearance is denied, the fact of such denial must be kept confidential by the person requesting such clearance. Restricted Persons do not need to receive pre-clearance for trades pursuant to an approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
| E. | Compliance |
|---|
All Covered Persons must promptly report any trading in the Company’s securities by any Covered Person, or any disclosure of Inside Information or material non-public information concerning other companies by such Covered Person, that such person has reason to believe may violate this Policy or federal or state securities laws.
Persons in possession of Inside Information when their employment or service terminates may not trade in the Company’s securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.
| F. | Additional Information |
|---|
1.What is Inside Information?
“InsideInformation” is material information about the Company that is not available to the public. Information generally becomes available to the public when it has been disclosed by the Company or third parties in a press release or other authorized public statement, including any filing with the SEC. In general, information is considered to have been made available to the public on the 2nd trading day after the formal release of the information. In other words, there is a presumption that the public needs approximately one complete trading day to receive and absorb such information.
2.What is Material Information?
As a general rule, information about the Company is “material” if it could reasonably be expected to affect someone’s decision to buy, hold or sell the Company’s securities. In particular, information is considered to be material if its disclosure to the public would be reasonably likely to affect (i) an investor’s decision to buy or sell the securities of the company to which the information relates, or (ii) the market price of that company’s securities. While it is not possible to identify in advance all information that will be deemed to be material, some examples of such information would include the following:
| ● | significant<br> changes in financial results and/or financial condition and financial projections; |
|---|---|
| ● | major<br> new contracts or leases, or the possible loss of business; |
| ● | changes<br> in dividend policy, the declaration of a share sub-division or share capitalization or an offering of additional securities; |
| ● | share<br> redemption or repurchase programs; |
| ● | changes<br> in management or control; |
| ● | change<br> in auditors or notification that the auditor’s reports may no longer be relied upon; |
| ● | significant<br> mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, dispositions of assets or joint ventures; |
| ● | significant<br> litigation, investigations or regulatory developments; |
| ● | significant<br> increases or decreases in the amount of outstanding securities or indebtedness; |
| ● | write-ups<br> or write downs of assets or changes in accounting methods; |
| ● | actual<br> or projected changes in industry circumstances or competitive conditions that could significantly affect the Company’s revenues,<br> earnings, financial position or future prospects; and |
| ● | transactions<br> with Directors, officers or principal security holders. |
It can sometimes be difficult to know whether information would be considered “material.” The determination of whether information is material is almost always clearer after the fact, when the effect of that information on the market can be quantified. Although you may have information about the Company that you do not consider to be material, federal regulators and others may conclude (with the benefit of hindsight) that such information was material. Therefore, trading in the Company’s securities when you possess non-public information about the Company can be risky. When doubt exists, the information should be presumed to be material. If you are unsurewhether you are in possession of material non-public information, you should consult with the Chief Financial Officer, prior to engagingin, or entering into an agreement, understanding or arrangement to engage in, a purchase or sale transaction of any of the Company’ssecurities.
3.What is the Penalty for Insider Trading?
Trading on Inside Information is a crime. The consequences of insider trading and tipping are severe and may, in some cases, be applied to the Company as well as to the individual who illegally trades or tips. Possible consequences include criminal prosecution with the potential for prison terms and additional fines if convicted, civil penalties, termination of employment and personal embarrassment resulting from adverse publicity.
If you have any questions with regard to this Policy, you should consult with the Chief Financial Officer.

Exhibit97
ORIGININVESTMENT CORP I
CLAWBACKPOLICY
Introduction
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Origin Investment Corp. I (the “Company”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The Board has therefore adopted this policy which provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation received in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws (the “Policy”). This Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the rules and amendments adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to implement the aforementioned legislation, and the listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.
Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Compensation Committee, in which case references herein to the Board shall be deemed references to the Compensation Committee. Any determinations made by the Board shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.
CoveredExecutives
This Policy applies to the Company’s current and former executive officers, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, and such other senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the Board (“CoveredExecutives”).
Recoupment;Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Board will require reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess Incentive Compensation (as defined below) received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.
IncentiveCompensation
For purposes of this Policy, Incentive Compensation means any of the following; provided that such compensation is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure:
| ● | Annual<br> cash bonuses and other short- and long-term cash incentives |
|---|---|
| ● | Share<br> options |
| ● | Share<br> appreciation rights |
| ● | Restricted<br> shares |
| ● | Restricted<br> share units |
| ● | Performance<br> shares |
| ● | Performance<br> units |
Financial reporting measures are measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures and may include, among other things, any of the following:
| ● | Company<br> share price |
|---|---|
| ● | Total<br> shareholder return |
| ● | Revenues |
| ● | Net<br> income |
| ● | Earnings<br> before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) |
| ● | Liquidity<br> measures such as working capital or operating cash flow |
| ● | Earnings<br> measures such as earnings per share |
| ● | “Non-GAAP<br> financial measures” for purposes of Exchange Act Regulation G and 17CFR 229.10 |
ExcessIncentive Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery
The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the Incentive Compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the Incentive Compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Board.
If the Board cannot determine the amount of excess Incentive Compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the applicable measure.
Methodof Recoupment
The Board will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping Incentive Compensation hereunder which may include, without limitation:
| ● | requiring<br> reimbursement of cash Incentive Compensation previously paid; |
|---|---|
| ● | seeking<br> recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards; |
| ● | offsetting<br> the recouped amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Executive; |
| ● | cancelling<br> outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or |
| ● | taking<br> any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Board. |
NoIndemnification
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive Compensation.
Interpretation
The Board is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and applicable rules or standards adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.
EffectiveDate
This Policy shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”). This Policy shall apply to any excess Incentive Compensation received by Covered Executives during the three immediately completed fiscal years preceding the date on which a company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.
Amendment;Termination
The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to reflect final regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and to comply with the rules and standards adopted by the SEC and the listing standards of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. The Board may terminate this Policy at any time.
OtherRecoupment Rights
The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Board may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Executive to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.
Impracticability
The Board shall recover any excess Incentive Compensation in accordance with this Policy unless such recovery would be impracticable, as determined by the Board in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the SEC and the listing standards of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.
Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
