NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2026
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Pinnacle Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 16, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial 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 Company’s sponsor is PAC Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 22, 2026 (File No. 333-297618), was declared effective on August 6, 2026 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On August 10, 2026, the Company consummated the initial public offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of
Transaction costs amounted to $
The Company’s officers and directors (the “Management”) have broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee).
The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on August 10, 2026, an amount of $
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The per share amount in the Trust Account as of August 10, 2026 was $
The Public Shares are 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” (“ASC 480”).
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)
The Sponsor, and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated August 6, 2026 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), 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 Amended and Restated Articles; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, 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 the Combination 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 the Initial Public 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2026 were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company intends to repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account will be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company completed its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on August 10, 2026, at which time the capital in excess of the funds deposited in Trust Account and/or used to fund offering costs and other expenses was released to the Company for general capital purposes. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. Management has determined that upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the period presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the (i) IPO Registration Statement and (ii) Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on August 14, 2026. The interim results for the period from March 16, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2026, or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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, as amended, 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 an emerging growth 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 unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed 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.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials,” 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,” 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 Public Units between Public Shares and Public Rights, by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Rights and then to the Public Shares. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 10, 2026, offering costs allocated to the Public Shares are charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to rights are charged to shareholder’s deficit, based on the classification of underlying financial instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2026, there were unrecognized tax benefits and 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
Rights
The Company accounts for the Rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the Rights under equity treatment at their assigned values. As of June 30, 2026, there were no Rights issued or outstanding.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
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 815. 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 accompanying unaudited condensed 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 accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet 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 unaudited condensed balance sheet date. The Underwriters’
Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The Company accounts for share awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” Fair value is measured on the grant date and is equal to the underlying value of the share.
Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition, or in the period the awards vest immediately after meeting a performance condition becomes probable (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited.
Net Loss Per Class B Ordinary Share
Net loss per the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on March 16, 2026, the date of its incorporation.
In November 2024, the FASB issued AASU Topic 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures regarding certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The standard requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure of specified expense categories included within relevant expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. 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.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Units, (iii) Private Placement Rights, (iv) Private Placement Shares, (v) Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Private Placement Rights upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, and (vi)Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on August 6, 2026. 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 the registration statement filed subsequent to completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate,
Holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as may be amended from time to time, or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) 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, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company’s initial Business Combination, the holders of more than
Rights
As of June 30, 2026, there were Rights issued or outstanding. Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Right will automatically receive one eighth (1/8) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right redeemed all Public Shares held by him, her or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles with respect to the pre-initial Business Combination activities. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of its initial Business Combination, each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one eighth (1/8) of one Class A Ordinary Share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional Class A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same consideration per Ordinary Share the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares will receive in the transaction Class A Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis.
14
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT (cont.)
The Company will not issue fractional Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with Cayman Islands law. As a result, the holder must hold Rights in multiples of eight in order to receive Class A Ordinary Shares for all of their Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Rights upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may have no value to the holder.
NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the , 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 the Company only has
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| June 30, 2026 | ||||
| Prepaid expenses | $ | |||
| Deferred offering costs | $ | |||
| For the Three Months Ended June 30, | For the Period From March 16, 2026 (Inception) Through June 30, | |||||||
| 2026 | 2026 | |||||||
| 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 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. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
The CODM reviews the position of total assets as reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities. The CODM is provided with details of cash and liquid resources available with the Company. Additionally, the CODM regularly reviews the status of deferred offering costs incurred to assess if these are in line with the planned use of proceeds raised from the Initial Public Offering.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements.”
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 16, 2026 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is PAC Sponsor, LLC.
Although we are not limited in our search for prospective Business Combination targets to a particular business, industry, sector or geographic region for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on businesses with growth platforms, strong management teams, and opportunities to drive value creation such as the ability to pursue further accretive acquisitions or capital structure optimization. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on August 6, 2026. On August 10, 2026, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Public Units. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Right. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $200,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,250,000. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the amount of $200,000,000 from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
We have until May 10, 2028 (21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) to consummate the Business Combination, or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) other period during which we must consummate an initial Business Combination pursuant to an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles and consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
17
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions would likely decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on NYSE. In addition, the NYSE Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the NYSE Three Year Requirement. If we do not meet the NYSE Three Year Requirement, our securities would likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from NYSE. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
Recent Developments
On August 5, 2026, the Sponsor granted membership interests equivalent to an aggregate of 225,000 Founder Shares to our Chief Financial Officer and three independent directors in exchange for their services as an officer or independent directors through our initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares will remain with the Sponsor if the holders of the Founder Shares are no longer serving our Company prior to the initial Business Combination.
The IPO Registration Statement became effective on August 6, 2026.
Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Sponsor an aggregate of $10,000 per month for accounting, bookkeeping, office space, information technology support, research, professional, secretarial and administrative services commencing on August 7, 2026, the date our securities were first listed on the NYSE. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
On August 10, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Public Units, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. At the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an officer and the directors of our Company, including an affiliate of a director, purchased in their individual capacities an aggregate of 2,305,000 Public Units sold at the Initial Public Offering at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $23,050,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,250,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, on August 10, 2026, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account, with U.S.-based trust account, Continental, acting as trustee.
As of August 10, 2026, we had borrowed $199,067 under the IPO Promissory Note, of which $187,274 was repaid by us at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently on August 21, 2026, the remaining balance of $11,793 was repaid. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
On August 10, 2026, the Underwriters received a cash underwriting commission of $250,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units sold to the Public Shareholders in the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Of this Deferred Fee, the Underwriters have agreed to waive any deferred underwriting discount in relation to the gross proceeds of the Public Units purchased in the Initial Public Offering by Steven K. Hudson and AVR Capital Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Andrew Rechtschaffen, each a co-managing member of the Sponsor totaling to $675,000. As a result, $5,325,000 of the Deferred Fee is payable to the Underwriters from the Trust Account upon the completion of initial Business Combination.
18
In addition to the Underwriting Agreement, in connection with the Initial Public Offering, we entered into an agreement with the Underwriters in which the Underwriters are entitled to an advisory fee equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units sold to the Public Shareholders in the Initial Public Offering upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. However, the Underwriters have agreed not to charge an advisory fee in relation to the gross proceeds of the Public Units purchased in the Initial Public Offering by Steven K. Hudson and AVR Capital Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Andrew Rechtschaffen, each a co-managing member of the Sponsor totaling to $675,000. The termination clause in such agreement deems the fee earned and recorded as of August 10, 2026.
On August 14, 2026, we entered into an amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, which amends Section 3(c) of the Underwriting Agreement to provide that the deferred underwriting discount of $0.30 per Public Unit shall not accrue or be payable with respect to the aggregate of 2,250,000 Public Units purchased in the Initial Public Offering by Steven K. Hudson and AVR Capital Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Andrew Rechtschaffen, each a co-managing member of the Sponsor. As a result, the maximum deferred discount payable is $5,325,000 in the aggregate (or up to $6,225,000 in the aggregate if the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option).
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since March 16, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest or dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $43,265, which consisted of general and administrative expenses.
For the period from March 16, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $57,127, which consisted of general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs through June 30, 2026, were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares and (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2026, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of $88,859.
Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Report and following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $200,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred total transaction costs of $6,093,029 in the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $250,000 of cash underwriting commissions, the Deferred Fee of $5,325,000, and $518,029 of other offering costs.
19
For the period from March 16, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $57,127 was affected by payment of general and administrative expenses through the IPO Promissory Note of $44,100. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $13,027 of cash for operating activities.
We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
As of June 30, 2026, we had no cash held outside of the Trust Account. Subsequent to the closing of Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, we will use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
IPO Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, on April 7, 2026, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2026 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2026, there was $85,571 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. As of August 10, 2026, we borrowed $199,067, of which $187,274 was repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and subsequently on August 21, 2026, the remaining balance of $11,793 was repaid. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
Working Capital Loans
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.
20
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” we do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our 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, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on August 7, 2026, the date when our securities were first listed with NYSE, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we will reimburse the Sponsor $10,000 per month for accounting, bookkeeping, office space, information technology support and professional, secretarial and administrative support services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Administrative Services Agreement had not been executed and no amount had been incurred or accrued in our unaudited condensed balance sheet for these services.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from August 6, 2026 to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts. The Over-Allotment Option will remain open until September 20, 2026.
The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting commission of $250,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the base Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account following any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Of this Deferred Fee, the Underwriters have agreed to waive any deferred underwriting discount in relation to the gross proceeds of the Public Units purchased in the Initial Public Offering by Steven K. Hudson and AVR Capital Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Andrew Rechtschaffen, each a co-managing member of the Sponsor totaling to $675,000. As a result, $5,325,000 of the Deferred Fee is payable to the Underwriters from the Trust Account upon the completion of initial Business Combination (assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option).
As of June 30, 2026, the Underwriting Agreement had not been executed.
Advisory Fee
In addition to the Underwriting Agreement, in connection with the Initial Public Offering, we entered into an agreement with the Underwriters in which the Underwriters are entitled to an advisory fee equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units sold to the Public Shareholders in the Initial Public Offering upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. However, the Underwriters have agreed not to charge an advisory fee in relation to the gross proceeds of the Public Units purchased in the Initial Public Offering by Steven K. Hudson and AVR Capital Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Andrew Rechtschaffen, each a co-managing member of the Sponsor totaling to $675,000. The termination clause in such agreement deems the fee earned and recorded as of August 10, 2026.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
As of June 30, 2026, the Registration Rights Agreement had not been executed.
21
Letter Agreement
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed that: (x) the Founder Shares shall be subject to a transfer restrictions of the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of our initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of our initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, (y) the Private Placement Units (including their underlying securities) shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (z) any Units, Rights, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares or Rights shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days following the effective date of Underwriting Agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, the Letter Agreement had not been executed.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” could be materially affected. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on March 16, 2026, the date of our incorporation.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” , which requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures regarding certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The standard requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure of specified expense categories included within relevant expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements.”
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Not applicable.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such, or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our IPO Registration Statement. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors, other than as set forth below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period, which could reduce the amount held in our Trust Account and have adverse effects on our Company.
If we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination on or before May 10, 2028, we may seek shareholder approval to extend the Combination Period by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. In such event, our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to have all or a portion of their Public Shares redeemed. Any redemptions will reduce the amount held in our Trust Account, the effect of which may adversely affect our ability to consummate our initial Business Combination and may also impair our ability to maintain our NYSE listing.
We anticipate that our securities will be suspended from trading on NYSE and delisted if we do not consummate our initial Business Combination by August 7, 2029. Any trading suspension or delisting could have a material adverse effect on the trading of our securities and may adversely affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Our IPO Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 6, 2026 and our securities began trading on August 7, 2026 and are currently listed on NYSE. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles, we have until May 10, 2028 to consummate our initial Business Combination.
Under the NYSE Rules, a SPAC’s NYSE-listed securities will be immediately suspended from trading if the SPAC is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within three years of its initial listing. Were we to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which we are permitted to consummate our initial Business Combination, we would still need to consummate our initial Business Combination on or prior to August 7, 2029 in order to avoid a suspension of our securities from trading on and delisting from NYSE.
Accordingly, were we to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which we are permitted to consummate our initial Business Combination, we would still need to consummate our initial Business Combination on or prior to August 7, 2029 in order to avoid a suspension of our securities from trading on and delisting from NYSE. If NYSE were to suspend our securities from trading and delist our securities, our securities could potentially be quoted on an over-the-counter market. Even if our securities are then quoted on an over-the-counter market, our NYSE suspension and delisting could have significant material adverse consequences, including:
| ● | making our securities appear to be less attractive to potential target companies than the securities of an exchange listed SPAC; |
| ● | limited availability of market quotations for our securities; |
| ● | reduced liquidity for our securities; |
| ● | the possibility that our Class A Ordinary Shares would be deemed “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; |
| ● | limited news and analyst coverage; and |
| ● | decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
In addition, if our securities are delisted from NYSE, trading in our securities, and offers and sales of our securities by us, may be subject to state securities regulation and additional compliance costs.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On April 7, 2026, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.0035 per share, to cover certain of our offering costs and expenses, for which we repurchased the one share outstanding and issued 7,187,500 Founder Shares to the Sponsor. On July 21, 2026, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Founder Shares for no consideration and now holds 5,750,000 Founder Shares.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,250,000. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by this Report.
On August 10, 2026, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Public Units. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Right. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $200,000,000. Santander and CIBC Capital Markets acted as joint book-running manager, with Santander acting as the sole representative of the Underwriters.
On August 10, 2026, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,250,000. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement on August 10, 2026, a total of $200,000,000 comprised of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (which amount includes $5,325,000 of the Deferred Fee) was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by Continental, as trustee, solely (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in an interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described elsewhere in this Report. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
25
The remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are held outside the Trust Account. Such funds are being used primarily to enable us to identify a target and to negotiate and consummate our initial Business Combination.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by this Report.
