 activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence.

#### Market Opportunity
While we may pursue an initial business combination in any industry, we intend to focus on combining with a leading business operating in one of seven broadly defined market areas: (i) marine technology, (ii) marine services, (iii) U.S.-focused marine businesses, (iv) marine distribution, (v) marine logistics, (vi) vessel technical managers, and (vii) data centers. The GPAC team has significant experience in maritime and technology investments and is thus advantageously positioned to execute on a transaction within them.

#### TABLE OF CONTENTS
Marine technology

The marine technology sector encompasses a rapidly evolving ecosystem of companies that are driving digital transformation across the global maritime industry. This sector integrates advanced software platforms, data analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence to optimize vessel operations, enhance safety protocols, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote environmental sustainability. Key areas of innovation include real-time fleet monitoring, predictive maintenance, autonomous navigation systems, and emissions tracking, among others. As the maritime industry faces increasing pressure to modernize and decarbonize, we believe marine technology companies are well-positioned to deliver scalable solutions that address these challenges for a significant market. We intend to target businesses with differentiated technology offerings, strong intellectual property portfolios, and the potential to become category-defining platforms in a traditionally under-digitized industry.

Marine services

Marine services represent a broad and essential segment of the maritime economy, encompassing a wide range of specialized service providers that support vessel operations, port infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. This includes companies engaged in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC), port and terminal operations, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), vessel cleaning, engineering and consulting services, and ship brokerage, among others. These businesses typically benefit from recurring revenue models, long-term customer relationships, and high barriers to entry due to regulatory complexity and operational specialization. We believe the sector offers attractive consolidation opportunities and operational efficiencies, particularly as maritime operators increasingly outsource non-core functions to focus on strategic growth and fleet optimization.

U.S.-focused marine businesses

The U.S. marine industry encompasses a broad array of strategically vital businesses, including Jones Act fleets, U.S.-flag vessels, and domestic shipbuilding and repair operations. Jones Act fleets operate in a protected segment of the domestic maritime market and are experiencing renewed strategic importance due to national security considerations, supply chain resilience initiatives, and constrained new vessel supply.
