Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 9, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "business combination"). We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the sale of the Private Placement Units (as defined below), 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.
Recent Developments
As previously disclosed, on July 2, 2026, the Company's board of directors appointed Derek Rush as a member of the board. Mr. Rush was also appointed to the audit committee of the Company's board of directors. Additional information related to Mr. Rush's appointment is included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 9, 2026.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 9, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a business combination. 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 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 net income of $3,993,543, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,338,720 and interest earned on operating account of $9,966, offset by general and administrative costs of $355,143.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income of $7,879,988, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $8,641,405 and interest earned on operating account of $21,576, offset by general and administrative costs of $782,993.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $48,603, which consisted of general and administrative costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $49,377, which consisted of general and administrative costs.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On July 3, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 46,000,000 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of their over-allotment option of 4,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $460,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of (i) the private placement of 400,000 Sponsor Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,000,000, and (ii) the private placement of 387,857 Underwriter Private Placement Units, which includes 12,857 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by BTIG of the over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Underwriter Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,878,570.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Units, a total of $460,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,878,570 of cash underwriting fees, $17,100,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,513,321 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $479,546. Net income of $7,879,988 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $8,641,405. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $281,871 of cash for operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $35,489, and net loss was $49,377. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $13,888 of cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $477,159,386 (including approximately $17,159,386 of interest income) consisting of cash held in an interest-bearing demand deposit account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (net, with respect to interest income, of permitted withdrawals and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our business combination. $1,000,000 of the total underwriting commissions is payable in cash to the underwriter at the closing of our initial business combination. This payment is separate from the deferred underwriting commissions described in this Quarterly Report. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account will be sufficient to pay our taxes and to fund permitted withdrawals. 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.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,112,509. 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 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 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 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," management believes that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital needs through the mandatory liquidation date. However, because we are required to complete our initial business combination or obtain an extension of the Combination Period by July 3, 2027, which falls within one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued, or otherwise cease operations and liquidate, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
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, other than an agreement with the Sponsor or an affiliate to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $40,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative support. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a business combination or the distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders.
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $16,100,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriter upon the closing of a business combination in three portions, as follows: (i) $0.075 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering shall be paid to the underwriter in cash, (ii) up to $0.175 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering shall be paid to the underwriter in cash, based on the funds remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with a business combination and (iii) $0.10 per Unit sold in the base offering, plus $0.175 per Unit sold pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option, shall be paid to the underwriter in cash (such aggregate amount, the "Allocable Amount"), provided that, after completion of the Initial Public Offering and the underwriter's receipt of 100% of the base fee and the over-allotment fee, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, not to pay all or any portion of the Allocable Amount to the underwriter and to use the Allocable Amount for expenses in connection with a business combination. The over-allotment option has expired and is no longer payable.
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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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 materially differ from those estimates. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
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.
