The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A Ordinary Shares upon the completion of an initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion, and will be based

on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirements.
The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

If the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $
The Company’s initial shareholders, officers and directors have agreed to (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete an 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 (iii) vote their founder shares and public shares in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”).
Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third - party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, the Company cannot provide assurance that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $
In such event, the Company may not be able to complete the initial Business Combination, and redemptions may be less than $

Risks and Uncertainties
Ongoing geopolitical conflicts and military hostilities around the world have created and are expected to create further global economic consequences, including but not limited to the possibility of extreme volatility and disruptions in the financial markets, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability. Such global consequences may materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates an initial Business Combination.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted tax reform, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”). OBBB amends U.S. tax law, including provisions related to bonus depreciation, interest expense limitation, research and development, global intangible low-taxed income, foreign derived intangible income and base erosion and anti-abuse tax. The Company evaluated the provisions of the OBBB and determined that adoption of the new law did not have a material impact on its financial statements or related disclosures.
In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the global economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Going Concern and Liquidity
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition and the liquidation date raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $

Until the consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s mandatory liquidation date of August 5, 2027, the Company 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 offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums.
In addition, in order to 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 Working Capital Loans (see Note 5).
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 rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in 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 reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.
Segment Reporting
The Company complies with ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 10).
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, 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.

CARTESIAN GROWTH CORPORATION II
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2026
(UNAUDITED)
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 unaudited condensed 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 the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and 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 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.
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 cash of $
Interest-Bearing Demand Deposit Held in Trust Account
On October 7, 2024, the Company liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account are currently maintained in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and liquidation. Prior to October 7, 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in primarily U.S. Treasury securities. When the Company’s investments were held in the Trust Account comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments were classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of money market funds, the investments were recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest earned on interest-bearing Demand Deposit held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Concentration of Credit Risk

Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses. Offering costs amounted to $
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Class A Ordinary Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such 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 FASB ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies its Class A Ordinary Shares outside of permanent equity as their redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Class A Ordinary Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., the public warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of the Class A Ordinary Shares classified as temporary equity is the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to FASB ASC 480-10-S99 and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of events mentioned above. According to FASB ASC 480-10-S99-15, no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of permanent shareholders’ deficit in the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary 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 remeasurement from initial book value to redemption value. The redemption value of the Class A Ordinary Shares does not take into account $
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both (i) the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and (ii) 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 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were
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. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants calculated 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). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |

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 – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”). The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the 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 balance sheet date.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for the public and private placement warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Changes in the estimated fair value of the public and private placement warrants are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value of the private placement warrants was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo model (see Note 8 and Note 9).
Convertible Promissory Notes – Related Party
The Company accounts for the convertible promissory notes at no interest issued on October 12, 2023, January 19, 2024, July 12, 2024, November 6, 2024, December 16, 2024, May 27, 2025, November 19, 2025, December 29, 2025 and May 5, 2026 to Sponsor under ASC Topic 815-15-25, “Derivates and Heading — Recognition” (“ASC 815-15-25”). Under ASC 815-15-25, at the inception of the convertible promissory notes, the Company elected to account for such financial instrument under the fair value option. Under the fair value option, convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance, each drawdown date, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and the fair value of the note at each drawdown date are recognized as either an expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value of the option to convert into Sponsor Loan Warrants was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo model (see Note 9).

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 statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets, which include the following:

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

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 13, 2021 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “business combination”).
We may pursue our initial business combination in any business industry or sector; however, we have focused on seeking high-growth businesses with proven or potential transnational operations or outlooks in order to capitalize on the experience, reputation, and network of our management team. Furthermore, we seek target businesses where we believe we will have an opportunity to drive ongoing value creation after our initial business combination is completed.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the net proceeds of our initial public offering, the sale of the private placement warrants, the sponsor loan (as defined below), our share capital or a combination of cash, share capital and debt.
We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Nasdaq Delisting
On May 6, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that Nasdaq had determined that (i) our securities would be delisted from Nasdaq, (ii) trading of our Class A ordinary shares, warrants, and units would be suspended at the opening of business on May 13, 2025 and (iii) a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which would remove our securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to complete our initial business combination, within 36 months of the effectiveness of our initial public offering registration statement, or May 5, 2025. We did not appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our securities. On July 15, 2025, our securities were delisted from Nasdaq and have since been quoted on the over-the-counter market.
26
First Extension
On November 6, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “First Extension Charter Amendment”). The First Extension Charter Amendment extended the date by which we had to consummate a business combination for up to an additional twelve months, from November 10, 2023 to up to November 10, 2024, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to twelve times by an additional one month each time, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred (which we refer to as the “First Extension” and such applicable later date), without the need for any further approval of our shareholders, provided that the sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) deposited into the trust account for each such one-month extension (the “First Charter Amendment Extension Payments”) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $150,000 and (b) $0.02 per public share that remained outstanding and was not redeemed prior to any such one-month extension, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note payable upon consummation of an initial business combination.
In connection with the votes to approve the First Extension Charter Amendment, the holders of 7,129,439 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.86 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $77.4 million, leaving approximately $172.4 million in the trust account following the First Extension Charter Amendment.
Second Extension
On November 6, 2024, our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Second Extension Charter Amendment” and, together with the First Extension Charter Amendment, the “First and Second Extension Charter Amendments”). The Second Extension Charter Amendment extended the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for up to an additional twelve months, from November 10, 2024 to up to November 5, 2025, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to twelve times by an additional one month each time, (other than the first period, which shall consist of 25 days), unless the closing of our initial business combination has occurred (such applicable later date), without the need for any further approval of our shareholders, provided that the sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the trust account (x) for each such one-month period (other than the first period, which shall consist of 25 days) from November 10, 2024 (exclusive) to May 5, 2025, the lesser of (i) an aggregate of $150,000 and (ii) $0.03 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed prior to such one-month (other than the first period, which shall consist of 25 days) extension; and (y) for each such one-month period from May 5, 2025 (exclusive) to November 5, 2025, the lesser of (i) an aggregate of $250,000 and (ii) $0.05 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed prior to such one-month extension (the “Second Charter Amendment Extension Payments”), unless the closing of our initial business combination has occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note payable upon consummation of an initial business combination.
In connection with the votes to approve the Second Extension Charter Amendment, the holders of 8,620,849 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.55 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $99,613,642, leaving approximately $83,770,196 in the trust account following the Second Extension Charter Amendment.

Fourth Extension
On July 30, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary Meeting”). The Company’s shareholders approved an amendment (the “Fourth Extension Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended, the “Charter”), which became effective solely upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders thereof. The Fourth Charter Amendment extended the Termination Date from August 5, 2026 to August 5, 2027. In connection with the votes to approve the Fourth Extension Charter Amendment, the holders of 2,601,058 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $12.50 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $32.5 million, leaving $5,940,297.03 in the trust account immediately following the Fourth Extension Charter Amendment.
Removal of Redemption Limitation
On November 6, 2024, our shareholders also approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to eliminate (i) the limitation that we shall not redeem the Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would result in our failure to have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001, upon consummation of our initial business combination (such limitation, the “Redemption Limitation”), and (ii) the requirement that we shall not consummate an initial business combination unless the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.
Trust Agreement Amendment
On October 7, 2024, we and the Trustee entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2022, to permit the Trustee to hold funds in our trust account in an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account, in addition to investing such funds in U.S. government treasury obligations having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in Treasury Obligations. In connection therewith, we directed the Trustee to move the funds held within the trust account, which were previously invested in Treasury Obligations, into an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2026 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, and since our initial public offering, our activity has been limited to identifying a target company for a 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 interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, our initial business combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had net loss of $699,615 which consists of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $497,000 and operating costs of $527,434, offset by the interest earned on interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account of $235,555 and a change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes - related party of $89,264.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net loss of $152,231 which consists of change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $656,040 and operating costs of $262,245, offset by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $689,016 and change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note – related party of $77,038.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income of $2,395,143 which consists of interest earned on interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account of $466,156, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,650,667 and a change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes - related party of $48,186, partially offset by operating costs of $769,866.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $407,633 which consists of interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,361,827 and change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note – related party of $81,614, offset by change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $578,176 and operating costs of $457,632.
28
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share by the sponsor and loans from the sponsor.
On May 10, 2022, we consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, including the full exercise by underwriters of their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 8,900,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant in a private placement to the sponsor, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Piper Sandler & Co., generating gross proceeds of $8,900,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, the sponsor loaned us $4,600,000 at no interest (the “sponsor loan”). The sponsor loan will be repaid or converted into sponsor loan warrants (the “sponsor loan warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per sponsor loan warrant, at the sponsor’s discretion. The sponsor loan warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants. If we do not complete a business combination, we will not repay the sponsor loan from amounts held in the trust account, and the proceeds held in the trust account will be distributed to the holders of the Class A ordinary shares.
A total of $236,900,000 ($10.30 per unit) of the net proceeds from the initial public offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the sale of the private placement warrants and the sponsor loan, was placed in the trust account. Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to $16,804,728, consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting commissions, $11,500,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $704,728 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $263,836. Net income of $2,395,143 was affected by interest earned on interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account of $466,156, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,650,667 and a change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes - related party of $48,186. Changes in operating assets and liabilities was affected by $506,030 of cash provided for operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $257,068. Net income of $407,633 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,361,827, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $578,176 and a change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note – related party of $81,614. Changes in operating assets and liabilities was affected by $200,564 of cash provided for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account of $38,380,594 (including approximately $25,550,779 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less any taxes payable), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash held outside of the trust account of $149,017 available for working capital needs. 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 offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums.
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 funds as may be required (the “working capital loans”). If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the funds held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of the working capital loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants, including, as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings under any working capital loans.
29
On October 12, 2023, January 19, 2024, July 12, 2024, November 6, 2024, December 16, 2024, May 27, 2025, November 19, 2025, December 29, 2025 and May 5, 2026, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “October 2023 Note”), $250,000 (the “January 2024 Note”), $250,000 (the “July 2024 Note”), $250,000 (the “November 2024 Note”), $250,000 (the “December 2024 Note”), $250,000 (the “May 2025 Note”), $250,000 (the “November 2025 Note”), $200,000 (the “December 2025 Note”) and $250,000 (the “May 2026 Note” and collectively “Sponsor Notes”) respectively, to the Sponsor. The Sponsor Notes do not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the note into that number of warrants equal to the portion of the principal amount of the note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number.
In connection with the First Charter Amendment Extension Payments described above, on November 6, 2023, we issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,800,000, dated November 6, 2023, by the Company in favor of the sponsor (the “First Extension Note”). The First Extension Note bears no interest and the principal balance is payable on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination. The First Extension Note is not convertible into private placement warrants and the principal balance may be prepaid at any time. From November 2023 through October 2024, the Board approved twelve monthly extensions of the Business Combination Period. In connection with the extensions from November 10, 2023 through November 10, 2024, the Company drew an aggregate of $1,800,000 ($150,000 at each extension date) from the First Extension Note which was deposited into the trust account.
In connection with the Second Charter Amendment Extension Payments described above, on November 6, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the sponsor in the aggregate amount of $2,400,000 (“Second Extension Note”). The Second Extension Note bears no interest and the principal balance is payable on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination. The Second Extension Note is convertible into private placement warrants and the principal balance may be prepaid at any time.
From November 2024 through October 2025, the Board approved twelve monthly extensions of the time period during which the Company may consummate an initial business combination. In connection with the extensions from November 10, 2024 through November 5, 2025, the Company drew an aggregate $2,400,000 ($150,000 at each of the first 6 extension dates and $250,000 at each of the last 6 extensions dates) from the Second Extension Note which was deposited into the trust account.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” management has determined that our liquidity condition and liquidation date raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the applicable Extended Date.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $149,017 in our operating bank account, $38,380,594 in interest-bearing demand deposit held in the trust account to be used for the completion of a business combination and/or for the redemption of the public shares if we are unable to complete a business combination by the applicable extended date (subject to applicable law), and working capital deficit of $5,888,898.
Until the consummation of a business combination or the Company’s mandatory liquidation date of August 5, 2027, 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 offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us working capital loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026.
30
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or other long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the sponsor a sum of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on May 5, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees on a monthly basis until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and our liquidation. In addition, the Sponsor or its affiliates may provide the Company with working capital loans pursuant to promissory notes or convertible promissory notes to finance operating and transaction costs and working capital needs. Such loans may be repaid upon consummation of a business combination or, at the lender’s discretion, converted into warrants or other securities of the post-business combination entity.
The underwriters of our initial public offering are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $0.50 per unit, or $11,500,000 in the aggregate. Subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for our initial public offering, (i) the deferred underwriting commission was placed in the trust account and will be released to the underwriters only upon the consummation of our initial business combination and (ii) the deferred underwriting commission will be waived by the underwriters in the event that we do not complete a business combination.
We have engaged a legal advisor to provide services related to the consummation of an initial business combination. In connection with this agreement, we may be required to pay the legal advisor’s fees in connection with its services contingent upon a successful initial business combination. If a business combination does not occur, we would not be required to pay these contingent fees. There can be no assurance that we will complete a business combination.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. Some of the more significant estimates are in connection with determining the fair value of the warrant liabilities and convertible promissory notes – related party. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering, which are discussed in Note 3, Note 4, Note 8 and Note 9 to the financial statements, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in our statement of operations.
Convertible Promissory Notes – Related Party
We account for the Sponsor Loan and Sponsor Notes issued pursuant to convertible promissory note at no interest and a convertible promissory note issued on October 12, 2023 to Sponsor under ASC Topic 815-15-25, “Derivates and Heading - Recognition” (“ASC 815-15-25”). Under ASC 815- 15-25, at the inception of the convertible promissory note, the Company elected to account for such financial instrument under the fair value option. Under the fair value option, convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance, each drawdown date, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and the fair value of the note at each drawdown date are recognized as either an expense in the statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the statements of operations. The fair value of the conversion option embedded in the convertible promissory notes was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo model. See Note 9 to the financial statements.
31
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
In accordance with FASB ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within our control require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480-10-S99. All of the 3,076,094 Class A ordinary shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with an initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Accordingly, at June 30, 2026, all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of shareholders’ deficit on the balance sheets.
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” pursuant to which net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (loss) income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our 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.
