Overview

Gores Holdings XI, Inc. is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 22, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses.

We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a Business Combination.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of ($188,302), of which ($717,600) was a non-cash loss related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability and the remainder are expenses associated with normal operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a net loss of ($188,302), of which ($717,600) was a non-cash loss related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability and the remainder are expenses associated with normal operations.

Our business activities during the quarter mainly consisted of preparation for the initial public offering consummated on June 24, 2026 and seeking a target thereafter. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect a Business Combination with an operating business by June 24, 2028. However, if our estimates 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.

As indicated in the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements, at June 30, 2026, the Company had $1,123,701 in cash. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Business Combination will be successful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 24, 2026, the Company consummated the IPO of 35,880,000 units, including the exercise in full by the underwriter of an option to purchase up to 4,680,000 Units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $358,800,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-fourth of one warrant of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,250,000. The Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Company's Registration Statement for its IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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 to pay an aggregate of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. As of June 30, 2026, no amounts had accrued under this agreement.

The underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $10,764,000 (3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account) upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

In addition to the deferred underwriting discounts, the Company will engage Santander US Capital Markets LLC to provide advisory services from time to time. As compensation for the services provided under an engagement letter, the Company shall pay Santander US Capital Markets LLC a fee equal to 3.00% ($10,764,000) of the gross proceeds raised in the IPO, payable upon closing of such initial Business Combination. The Company has agreed to indemnify Santander US Capital Markets LLC and its affiliates in connection with its role in providing the advisory services.

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. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

The underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $10,764,000 (3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account) upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

Warrant 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". For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or noncurrent based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Warrants are deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed to the contingently redeemable shares and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 815.

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.
