Mr. Godden is a former member of the executive team of the Blue Sky Maritime Coalition, aimed at achieving net-zero emissions in the North American maritime industry by 2050, and a former board member of the American Waterways Operators (AWO), a trade group representing the US tugboat, towboat, and barge industry. Mr. Godden is well qualified to serve as a director due to his extensive business and investment experience, including senior leadership roles at private companies.

Mr. Rone received a B.A. in Economics from Tufts University and a J.D. from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Mr. Rone is well qualified to serve as a director due to his significant business, investment, and financial experience.
The Company also entered into an indemnity agreement with each of Messrs. Godden and Rone in the same form as its standard form of indemnification agreement with its other directors and in the same form as previously filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2025. Furthermore, each of Messrs. Godden and Rone is a signatory to the letter agreement, dated December 2, 2025, as previously filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2025, entered into by the Company and its directors and officers in connection with the Company’ initial public offering, pursuant to which Messrs. Godden and Rone has agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares held by him in favor of the Company’s initial business combination; to facilitate the liquidation and winding up of the Company if an initial business combination is not consummated within 24 months or such longer period as is approved by the Company’s shareholders; and to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company’s securities.
There are no family relationships between Messrs.
