Velos Acquisition I Corp. (formerly known as M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp.) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 12, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026, relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and the search for a Business Combination, which is described below and in Note 6. The Company will not generate any operating revenues 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 on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 31, 2024. On August 2, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of

The Company will provide the Company’s public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) 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 shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations. The amount initially placed in the Trust Account upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering was $
The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at their redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering on August 2, 2024, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In the event the Company seeks shareholder approval for the Business Combination, the transaction would require a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted to be in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $

NOTE 2. 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 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 periods presented.

(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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 $
Investments Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consisted principally of professional and registration fees that were related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 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 Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. The offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged to temporary equity and the offering costs allocated to the Public and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public and Private Placement Warrants after management’s evaluation were accounted for under equity treatment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party
The Company accounts for the promissory note issued on June 16, 2025 to the Sponsor under ASC Topic 470 and is measured at amortized cost. The 2025 Note was issued at par and did not include any discount or premium at issuance. Accordingly, the initial carrying value of the 2025 Note was equal to the cash proceeds received from the holder, and the 2025 Note was recorded at its principal amount on the issuance date. The embedded conversion feature was evaluated under ASC Topic 815 and determined to meet the “own equity” scope exception and therefore bifurcation is not required. No other embedded features require separate recognition. The fair value option under ASC 825 is not permitted.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Share Compensation” (“ASC 718”), guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including share option grants, warrants and restricted share grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted shares, are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instrument under equity treatment at its assigned value.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The public shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public shares subject to redemption outside of permanent deficit as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, and the Company’s income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary shares underlying such unit.
Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the

Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A ordinary shares, or by a subdivision of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining the price payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares as reported during the ten (

In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise 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 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 unaudited condensed statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets.

The CODM reviews interest earned on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. 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 unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the unaudited condensed statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 12, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Business Combination Agreement, Mutual Termination, and Related Matters
On July 7, 2025, the Company, ReserveOne, Pubco, SPAC Merger Sub, and Company Merger Sub, entered into a Business Combination Agreement. Subsequently, on June 12, 2026, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement and entered into a series of transactions that would provide the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. This was necessary because following the mutual termination of the Business Combination Agreement the Company’s Articles provided that the Company must liquidate the Trust Account if it has not consummated its initial Business Combination by August 2, 2026. Without taking actions to extend the time by which the Company must complete its initial Business Combination under the Articles, the Company’s Board believed that it would not be able to complete an initial Business Combination on or before August 2, 2026. If the Company were to fail to complete the initial Business Combination by that date, the Company would be forced to liquidate.
As such, the Company entered into the 2026 Securities Purchase Agreements, the Voting and Non-Redemption Agreements, and Voting Agreements with various third parties to ensure that the Company had the support to secure an extension of the time needed to complete its initial Business Combination (an “Extension”) (see Note 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations – Mutual Termination Agreement and Related Agreements). As approval of an Extension required approval of the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, the Company’s Board called for a meeting of the Company’s Ordinary Share holders on July 17, 2026 to consider the Articles Amendment Proposals to approve the Amendments to provide for an extension and other items that the Company’s Board deemed to be in the Company’s best interests to facilitate an initial Business Combination, including the Extension Proposal, the Trust Interest Withdrawal Proposal, the Name Change Proposal, the Fairness Opinion Proposal, and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal (see Note 10. Subsequent Events – July 2026 Meeting and Articles Amendments). At the July 2026 Meeting, holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the July 2026 Meeting approved each of the Articles Amendment Proposals and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposals. The Amendments were immediately effective upon approval by the Ordinary Shareholders under Cayman Islands law.
As a result of the approval of the Extension Proposal, the Company now has until August 2, 2027 to complete its initial Business Combination.
In connection with the July 2026 Meeting shareholders holding an aggregate of 12,455,589 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for approximately $10.88 per share from the funds held in the Company’s Trust Account, leaving approximately $177,286,938 in cash in the Trust Account after satisfaction of such redemptions. Following such redemptions, the Company had an aggregate of 23,481,911 Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 16,294,411 were Class A ordinary shares and 7,187,500 were Class B ordinary shares. Following the redemptions in connection with the Meeting, on July 20, 2026 the Sponsor converted 7,187,500 of its Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary share into Converted Shares. As such, as of the close of business on July 20, 2026 there were 23,481,911 Class A ordinary shares outstanding and no Shares of Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

February 2026 Note
On February 18, 2026, we issued a promissory note (the “February 2026 Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which we can borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 from the Sponsor. On February 18, 2026, we borrowed $600,000 under the February 2026 Note and on March 27, 2026 the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 under the February 2026 Note. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal balance under the February 2026 Note was $1,100,000. The proceeds of the February 2026 Note will be used for general working capital purposes. The February 2026 Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination.
July 2026 Note
On July 21, 2026, we issued the July 2026 Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may lend to us up to an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. On July 21, 2026, we borrowed $3,500,000 under the July 2026 Note. The proceeds of the July 2026 Note will be used to pay off existing liabilities as of July 20, 2026, and for general working capital.
The July 2026 Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). A failure to pay the principal on the Maturity Date shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the July 2026 Note may be accelerated. If we do not consummate an initial Business Combination, the July 2026 Note will be repaid solely to the extent we have funds available outside the Trust Account.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from March 12, 2024 (inception), through June 30, 2026, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and attempting to consummate our prior Business Combination Agreement. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and investments 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net income of $1,671,749, which consists of $2,740,218 from interest earned on cash held in Trust Account, partially offset by $1,068,469 of general and operating costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net income of $3,384,818, which consists of $5,438,602 from interest earned on cash held in Trust Account, partially offset by $2,053,784 of general and operating costs.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $2,184,293, which consists of $3,103,744 from interest earned on investments held in Trust Account, offset by $873,724 of general and administrative costs and compensation expense of $45,727.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $5,097,561, which consists of $6,188,872 from interest earned on investments held in Trust Account, offset by $1,045,584 of general and administrative costs and compensation expense of $45,727
Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the IPO, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans or advances from the Sponsor or another related party.
On August 2, 2024, we consummated the IPO of 28,750,000 Units at $10.00 per Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,750,000 Units generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 8,337,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, generating gross proceeds of $8,337,500.
Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Units, a total of $288,937,500 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $19,406,996 of transaction costs, consisting of $5,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $13,400,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $1,006,996 of other offering costs.
As of June 30, 2026, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $312,319,510. 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 income 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 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.
On June 16, 2025, we issued the 2025 Note to the Sponsor pursuant to which the Company has borrowed $2,500,000 from the Sponsor as of June 30, 2026. Up to $1,500,000 of the 2025 Note may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On February 18, 2026, the Company issued the February 2026 Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company can borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 from the Sponsor. On February 18, 2026, the Company borrowed $600,000 under the February 2026 Note and on March 27, 2026 the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 under the February 2026 Note. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal balance under the February 2026 Note was $1,100,000. The proceeds of the February 2026 Note will be used to provide the Company with general working capital.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $142,798 and working capital deficit of $8,049,671. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements -Going Concern,” management has determined that our liquidity concerns and mandatory 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 period in which we have to complete our initial Business Combination. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
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. If we complete our initial 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 working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 3,750,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
Promissory Notes – Related Party
Prior to the IPO, we issued a promissory note to the Original Sponsor, pursuant to which we could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024, or (ii) the completion of the IPO. No amounts were borrowed under the Promissory Note and borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.
On June 16, 2025, we issued the 2025 Note. As of December 31, 2025, the full $2,500,000 available under the 2025 Note had been drawn, and the entire amount was outstanding. Up to $1,500,000 of the aggregate principal amount drawn under the 2025 Note may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. If the initial Business Combination is not consummated, the 2025 Note may not be repaid and may not be able to be converted into Pubco Warrants, pursuant to its terms. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
On February 18, 2026, we issued the February 2026 Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which we can borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 from the Sponsor. On February 18, 2026, we borrowed $600,000 under the February 2026 Note. On March 27, 2026 the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 under the February 2026 Note. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal balance under the February 2026 Note was $1,100,000. The proceeds of the February 2026 Note will be used for general working capital purposes. The February 2026 Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified no critical accounting estimates or policies that has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026. In addition, the volatility and disruption resulting from changes in the economic and strategic policies of the United States and from armed conflicts and political violence could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, import costs, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. These disruptions could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC, other than those described above.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report.
