**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**MARCH 31, 2026**

**Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations**

Daedalus Special Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 7, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 7, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to the Company's formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company may generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and dividend income from marketable securities purchased from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On December 10, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of 25,000,000 units (the "Units"), including 2,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the "Public Shares"), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (the "Public Warrants").

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 685,000 units (the "Private Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Private Units being offered, the "Private Placement Shares") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company's sponsor, Daedalus Special Acquisition LLC (the "Sponsor"), and BTIG, as representative for the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000. Each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (the "Private Placement Warrants" and together with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Transaction costs amounted to $14,449,003, consisting of $5,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $699,003 of other offering costs.

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions).

The Company's Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of contingent, deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an aggregate of $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $250,000,000, from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Units, was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account") and is initially invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on the management team's ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company's potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company's public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve (the "Completion Window"), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company's public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company's public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company's creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company's public shareholders.

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 (other than excise or similar taxes)), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share. The ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity."

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 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 (other than excise or similar taxes) and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the public shares and completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Company's Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (other than excise or similar taxes), provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company's indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and the Company believes that the Sponsor's only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

**Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern**

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $774,387 in cash and working capital of $766,772. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern", as of March 31, 2026, the Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Based on the foregoing, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. The Company cannot be assured that its plans to consummate an Initial Business Combination will be successful.

**Risks and Uncertainties**

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and between Israel and Hamas, Iran and its proxies in certain of the neighboring countries in the Middle East. Certain countries, including the United States, have provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Furthermore, changes to policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. For example, during the prior Trump administration, increased tariffs were implemented on goods imported into the U.S., particularly from China, Canada, and Mexico. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between not only the U.S. and China, but also between the U.S. and other countries in the international community. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IR Act") was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from whom shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. The Company evaluated and noted this does not impact the financial statements.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, and tariff on imports from foreign countries 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.

**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, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements 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.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2025 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 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 Status**

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, 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 Exchange Act) 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 financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrants. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and 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 $774,387 and $1,071,605 of cash as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account**

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all of the assets in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, amounting to $252,761,757 and $250,535,814, respectively.

**Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering**

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, "Expenses of Offering." Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are 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. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders' deficit as the 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 balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

**Income Taxes**

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no 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 is considered to be a Cayman Islands exempted company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. The Company determined there is UK tax nexus, which is a taxable jurisdiction. The Company determined the tax liability was de minimis for the periods presented.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which provides for additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the period ended December 31, 2025 and determined there is no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). ASC 740, "Income Taxes", requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. It does not impact the Company's financial statements.

**Derivative Financial 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 statement 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 non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

**Net Income Per Ordinary Share**

The Company has two classes of shares, Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". Net income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of such warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per ordinary share for each class of ordinary shares:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Three Months Ended<br> March 31, 2026** | **For the Three Months Ended<br> March 31, 2026** | **For the Three Months Ended<br> March 31, 2026** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share | $0.06 | $0.06 | $0.06 |

---

**Warrant Instruments**

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants 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 the classification of the warrant instruments and accounted for the Warrants under equity treatment at their relative fair values. There are 6,250,000 Public Warrants and 171,250 Private Placement Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**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 possible redemption outside of permanent equity 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 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, as of March 31, 2026, 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 balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Gross proceeds from Initial Public Offering | $250000000 |
| Less: |  |
| Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants | (3482587) |
| Proceeds allocated to over-allotment option liability | (103537) |
| Offering costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption | (14144186) |
| Plus: |  |
| Accretion of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption | 18266124 |
| Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2025 | 250535814 |
| Accretion of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption | 2225943 |
| **Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at March 31, 2026** | $**252761757** |

**Recent Accounting Standards**

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on August 7, 2025, the date of its inception (see Note 5).

**Note 3 — Initial Public Offering**

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on December 10, 2025, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units (including 2,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit that the Company is offering has a price of $10.00 and consists of one Public Share, and one-fourth of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

**Note 4 — Private Placement**

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 685,000 Private Placement Units (including 50,000 Private Units pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option), at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $6,850,000 in the aggregate. Of those 685,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 435,000 Private Placement Units and the underwriters purchased 250,000 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (each, a "Private Placement Share") and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a "Private Placement Warrant"). Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agree to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any founder shares and Private Placement Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

**Note 5 — 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 that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company's CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company's CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.

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 statement of operations as net income or loss. When evaluating the Company's performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss, which include the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **For the <br> Three Months <br> Ended <br> March 31, <br> 2026** |
| Formation, general and administrative expenses | $272681 |
| Income earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account | $2225943 |

---

The CODM reviews formation, general and administrative expenses to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews formation, general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. The CODM also reviews income earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account to review and forecast the amounts held in the Trust Account available to complete a business combination or similar transaction. These items, as reported on the statement of operations, are the significant segment information provided to the CODM on a regular basis. All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.

**Note 6 — Related Party Transactions**

**Founder Shares**

On August 12, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (the "Founder Shares"), in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.003 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On December 8, 2025, through a share capitalization, the Company issued an additional 958,333 Founder Shares to our sponsor, resulting in our sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. Up to 1,125,000 of the Founder Shares are subject to complete or partial forfeiture by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised. On December 10, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in 291,667 Founder Shares subject to forfeiture. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Sponsor forfeited the remaining 291,667 Class B ordinary shares.

On December 8, 2025, upon the pricing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold membership interests to each of three directors of the Company and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The membership interests each director received in the Sponsor correspond to 30,000 Founder Shares and the CFO to 25,000 Founder Shares, for an aggregate of 115,000 Founder Shares, to be distributed to the directors and CFO upon consummation of a Business Combination. The total consideration paid for these membership interests was $375. Each Founder Share will automatically convert to one Class A ordinary share concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination. The Sponsor will retain all voting and dispositive power over all Founder Shares until the consummation of the Business Combination, after which the Sponsor will distribute to each holder of the membership interests its share of the Founder Shares, subject to applicable lock-up restrictions.

The sale of the membership interests to the Company's directors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 115,000 shares granted to the Company's directors was $686,000 or $5.97 per share. The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of December 10, 2025, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares multiplied by the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares.

As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, "Founder Shares" shall be deemed to include the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Public Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination (with such conversion taking place immediately prior to, simultaneously with, or immediately following the time of the initial Business Combination, as may be determined by the directors of the Company) or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent approximately 25% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares (excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units) after the Initial Public Offering. If the Company increases or decreases the size of the offering, the Company will effect a share capitalization or share surrender, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the Founder Share ownership of the Company's shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering at 25% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. On December 10, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in 833,333 Class B ordinary shares no longer subject to forfeiture. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the sponsor forfeited the remaining 291,667 Class B ordinary shares. The Sponsor will not be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by it.

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

**Promissory Note — Related Party**

On August 12, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the "Note"). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of August 12, 2026, or the date on which the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering. As of December 10, 2025, the Company had borrowed $300,000 under the Note. On December 10, 2025, the Note was fully repaid to the Sponsor and is no longer available.

**Due to Related Party**

A related party has paid for offering costs on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $13,427 and $18,427, respectively, is outstanding and recorded under due to related party in the balance sheet, of which $2,742 and $7,742, respectively, is related to the Administrative Services Agreement noted below.

**Administrative Services Agreement**

Commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with our Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for certain office space, utilities, management, operations and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation, the Company will cease paying the $10,000 per month fee.

As of March 31, 2026, there is $2,742 in due to related party related to the agreement. The Company incurred $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Amounts have been included in formation, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company paid $35,000 to related party related to the agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**Related Party Loans**

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit ("Working Capital Units"), with each unit comprised of one Class A ordinary shares ("Working Capital Share") and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share ("Working Capital Warrant"). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

The holders of the founder shares, placement units, and Working Capital Units that may be issued upon conversion of loans made by our sponsor or one of its affiliates, and their permitted transferees, will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have "piggy-back" registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by us and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

**Underwriting Agreement**

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,375,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 10, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 2,500,000 Units, generating additional proceeds to the Company of $25,000,000 (see Note 8).

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $5,000,000 ($0.20 per Unit offered in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a contingent, deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,750,000. The contingent, 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. Per the underwriting agreement, $0.10 per Unit of such $0.35 per Unit shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the trust account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination and $0.05 per Unit of such $0.35 per Unit shall be allocable by us to third parties that are members of FINRA, but that are not participating in this Offering, that assist us in consummating our initial Business Combination.

**Note 8 — Shareholders' Deficit**

***Preference Shares*** — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

***Class A Ordinary Shares*** — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 300,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 685,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

***Class B Ordinary Shares*** — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 30,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. On August 12, 2025, the Company issued 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. On December 8, 2025, through a share capitalization, the Company issued an additional 958,333 Founder Shares to the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 founder shares. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares subject to complete or partial forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders will collectively own 25% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units) after the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Sponsor forfeited the remaining 291,667 Class B ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 8,333,333 and 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

Except as set forth herein, holders of record of the Company's Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company's shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company's initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50% of the ordinary shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.

**Warrants —** As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 6,421,250 Warrants outstanding, including 6,250,000 Public Warrants and 171,250 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Public Warrants cannot be exercised until the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering and 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such Public 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 Public Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Public Warrants, the purchaser of a Public Unit containing such Public Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Public Unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such Public Unit.

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company will agree that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use 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 Public 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 Public Warrants until the expiration of the Public 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 Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, Public 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 Public 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 Public 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 Public 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 Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the "fair market value" of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the Public 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 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.

 *Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00*: The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

● upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption (the "30-day redemption period"); and

● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Public Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the Company's initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

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 Public 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 (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the "Newly Issued Price"), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds (including from such issuances and this offering), and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions) and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the "Market Value") is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

**Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements**

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.

***Recurring Fair Value Measurements***

The following table presents information about the Company's recurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Level** | **March 31,<br> 2026** |
|  |  | **US$** |
| *Assets:* |  |  |

The following table presents the change in fair value of Level 3 recurring fair value measurements:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Level 3** |
|  | **US$** |
| Balance as of August 7, 2025 (inception) |  |
| Over-allotment option liability – December 10, 2025 | 105000 |
| Change in fair value | (28000) |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | 77000 |
| Expiration of over-allotment option liability | (77000) |
| **Balance as of March 31, 2026** |  |

---

The over-allotment option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and was presented within liabilities on the balance sheet. The over-allotment liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of over-allotment liability in the statement of operations.

A Black-Scholes model was used to value the over-allotment option. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary share based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury rates on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the option. The expected life of the option is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The following is a summary of key inputs utilized:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Over-allotment Option** | **Over-allotment Option** |
|  | **December 31, <br> 2025** | **December 10, <br> 2025** |
| Unit price | $10.04 | $10.00 |
| Exercise price | $10.00 | $10.00 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.71% | 3.76% |
| Estimated volatility | 5.07% | 6.81% |
| Time to expiration | 0.061 | 0.122 |

---

***Non- Recurring Fair Value Measurements***

Upon consummating the Initial Public Offering on December 10, 2025, the Public Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes Simulation Model, resulting in a fair value of $3,482,587. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders' deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **December 10,<br> 2025** |
| Implied ordinary share price | $9.91 |
| Exercise price | $11.50 |
| Simulation term (years) | 7.00 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.92% |
| Estimated implied volatility | 2.10% |
| Market adjustment | 47.66% |
| Calculated value per warrant | $0.56 |

**Note 10 — Subsequent Events**

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statement was issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.

**Overview**

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 7, 2025 formed for the purpose of merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate an initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with an initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter), securities issued to the owners of the target of an initial business combination, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target of an initial business combination, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.

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.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares or the creation of one or more classes of preference shares during our initial business combination:

● may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issue;

● may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if the rights, preferences, designations and limitations attaching to the preference shares are senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;

● could cause a change in control if a substantial number of ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

● may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

● may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our public shares.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

● default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

● acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

● our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

● our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if any document governing such debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

● our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

● using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

● limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

● increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

● limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

**Results of Operations**

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from August 7, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, 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 earned on investments held in Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net income of $2,030,262, which consists of income earned on investments held in Trust Account of $2,225,943 and gain on expiration of over-allotment liability of $77,000, partially offset by formation, general and administrative expenses of $272,681.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

On December 10, 2025, we consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, including 2,500,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 685,000 private placement units (the "Private Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and the representative of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000.

Following the IPO, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the trust account (the "Trust Account"). Upon the underwriters' partial exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $14,449,003, consisting of $5,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $699,003 of other offering costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $278,253. Net income of $2,030,262 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,225,943 and gain on expiration of over-allotment liability of $77,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $5,572 of cash for operating activities.

As of March 31, 2026, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $252,761,757. 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, if any), to complete our 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.

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $774,387. 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 Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. At March 31, 2026, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 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 effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,375,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 10, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 2,500,000 Units, generating additional proceeds to the Company of $25,000,000 (see Note 8).

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $5,000,000 ($0.20 per Unit offered in the IPO). Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a contingent, deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,750,000. The contingent, 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. Per the underwriting agreement, $0.10 per Unit of such $0.35 per Unit shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the trust account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination and $0.05 per Unit of such $0.35 per Unit shall be allocable by us to third parties that are members of FINRA, but that are not participating in the IPO, that assist us in consummating our initial business combination.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of 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 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 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.

*Warrant Instruments*

The Company accounts for the public and private warrants issued in connection with its 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 instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. The fair value of public warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Simulation Model. The public warrants have been classified within shareholders' deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The key inputs used in the valuation of the public warrants are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **December 10,<br> 2025** |
| Implied ordinary share price | $9.91 |
| Exercise price | $11.50 |
| Simulation term (years) | 7.00 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.92% |
| Estimated implied volatility | 2.10% |
| Market adjustment | 47.66% |
| Calculated value per warrant | $0.56 |

---

*Over-allotment Option*

The Company reports its over-allotment option at fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of the over-allotment option are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the statements of operations. The fair value of our over-allotment option was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model uses significant inputs related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary share based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the option. The expected life of the option is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. As each of these items are out of the control of management, significant uncertainty exists in the Black-Scholes valuation model and the underlying assumptions. Deviations from these estimates could result in a significate difference to our financial results. As the changes in fair value have no impact to our cash, changes in fair value of the over-allotment option and derivations from our estimates of fair value have no impact on our cash inflows or outflows.

*Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption*

 

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("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' deficit section of our balance sheets.

*Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share*

 

Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Subsequent measurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (loss) income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. We calculate our earnings per share to allocate net income pro rata to Class A and Class B ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income of our Company.

**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 the Company's financial statements.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

As smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

**Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting**

This Quarterly Report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

To the knowledge of our management, there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

On December 10, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units, including the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (No. 333-290165) and (No. 333-292014). The SEC declared the registration statements effective on December 8, 2025.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 685,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, in a private placement to our Sponsor and the Underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except as otherwise disclosed in the registration statements. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Transaction costs amounted to $14,449,003, consisting of $5,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $699,003 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, of the net proceeds received from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and simultaneous Private Placement, $250,000,000 ($10.00 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as is described in the Company's final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering.
