**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

On October 27, 2025, LaFayette Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Company"), consummated its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 11,500,000 units (the "Units"), including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), and one right (each, a "Right") entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of an initial business combination, pursuant to the Company's registration statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-290054). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, on October 27, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 380,000 units (the "Private Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,800,000 (the "Private Placement").

A total of $115,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company's public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of October 27, 2025 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the Offering and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of<br> LaFayette Acquisition Corp.

 ****

***Opinion on the Financial Statement***

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LaFayette Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") as of October 27, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 27, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 ****

***Basis for Opinion***

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the "PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

(1) On October 27, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 500,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture
(Note 5).

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this financial statement.

**LAFAYETTE ACQUISITION CORP.<br> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

**OCTOBER 27, 2025** 

**NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS**

LaFayette Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") is a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). The Company intends to pursue a Business Combination with a target in any industry or geographic region that can benefit from the expertise and capabilities of the Company's management team.

As of October 27, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 7, 2024 (inception) through October 27, 2025 relates to the Company's formation and the proposed initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering"), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 22, 2025. On October 27, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the ordinary share included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 380,000 Units (the "Private Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to LaFayette Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering ("EBC"), generating gross proceeds of $3,800,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $6,731,306, consisting of $2,300,000 of cash underwriting fee, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $406,306 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 sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Pursuant to applicable stock exchange listing rules, the Company's initial Business Combination must be with one or more businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company intends to only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business 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, on October 27, 2025, an amount of $115,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Units was held in a trust account (the "Trust Account") and held in demand deposit or cash accounts or invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company's shareholders, as described below.

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the "Public Shareholders") with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company in its sole discretion subject to requirements of corporate law. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "*Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity*."

**LAFAYETTE ACQUISITION CORP.<br> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

**OCTOBER 27, 2025** 

**NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS** (cont.)

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Shares (as defined in Note 4) and, subject to applicable securities laws, any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company's prior written consent.

The Sponsor and EBC have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (1) delay or modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide for the redemption of the public shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (2) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares and Private Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of its affiliates acquires Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company has until 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate a Business Combination (the "Combination Period"). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Combination Period is not extended by shareholders pursuant to an amendment to the Company's amended and restated articles of association, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of 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 and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less $100,000 to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

**LAFAYETTE ACQUISITION CORP.<br> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

**OCTOBER 27, 2025** 

**NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS** (cont.)

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company's independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) 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 Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims by the Company's auditors or 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"). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

**NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 ****

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying financial statement as of and for the period ended October 27, 2025 is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 ****

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

The Company's liquidity needs up to October 27, 2025 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor and EBC of up to $150,000 ($75,000 each) (see Note 5). As of October 27, 2025, upon the closing of the Initital Public Offering, the Company had $1,038,713 in cash and had a working capital of $982,500.

In order to fund working capital or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the "Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of October 27, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the 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, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statement.

 ****

***Emerging Growth Company***

The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (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 independent registered public accounting firm 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.

**LAFAYETTE ACQUISITION CORP.<br> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT**

**OCTOBER 27, 2025** 

**NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

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 statement in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement.

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 statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 ****

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $1,038,713 in cash and no cash equivalents as of October 27, 2025.

 ****

***Cash Held in Trust Account***

As of October 27, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $115,000,000, were held in cash.

 ****

***Concentration of Credit Risk***

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 ****

***Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption***

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company's initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company will recognize 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. 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 October 27, 2025, 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 October 27, 2025, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Gross proceeds | $115000000 |

| Proceeds allocated to Public Rights | (2139000) |
| Public Shares issuance costs | (6593349) |
| Plus: |  |
| Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value | 8732349 |
| Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, October 27, 2025 | $115000000 |

---

 ****

***Offering Costs***

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, "Expenses of Offering." Offering costs 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 rights, prorate, allocating the Initial Public Offering proceeds to the assigned value of the rights and 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 Rights and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders' deficit as Public Rights and Private Placement Rights after management's evaluation were accounted for under equity treatment.

**NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

***Income Taxes***

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "*Income Taxes*." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company's management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company's major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of October 27, 2025. 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 may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company's management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company's financial statement.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, "*Fair Value Measurement*," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 ****

***Recent Accounting Standards***

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". 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. This 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 June 7, 2024, date of incorporation.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statement.

**NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING**

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on October 27, 2025, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option of 1,500,000 at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one right ("Public Right"), with each Public Right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share.

**OCTOBER 27, 2025** 

**NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS**

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 27, 2025, the Sponsor and EBC purchased an aggregate of 380,000 Private Placement Units (244,286 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 135,714 Private Placement Units were purchased by EBC at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,800,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (each, a "Private Share"), and one right (each, a "Private Right"), with each Private Right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Private Placement Units and underlying securities are not transferable, assignable, or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

**NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTIES**

***Founder Shares***

On June 7, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 ordinary shares to EBC Holdings, Inc. ("EBC Holdings") for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000, or approximately $0.001 per share. On May 28, 2025, the Company effected a share dividend, resulting in 3,833,333 ordinary shares outstanding. All share and per share information has been retroactively presented. On June 30, 2025, EBC Holdings transferred an aggregate of 2,651,666 ordinary shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,459, or approximately $0.001 per share, the same per-share purchase price originally paid by EBC Holdings for such shares. As a result of the transfer, EBC Holdings retained an aggregate of 1,181,667 EBC Founder Shares. Up to 500,000 of such Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment is not exercised in full. On October 27, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 500,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

On September 18, 2025, the Sponsor assigned and transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares to the three independent directors of the Company (30,000 each) in exchange for their services as independent directors through the Company's initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares, represented by such membership interests, will remain with the Sponsor if the holder of such membership interests is no longer serving the Company prior to the initial Business Combination. The membership interest assignment of the Founder Shares to the holders of such interests are 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 assignment date. The total fair value of the 90,000 Founder Shares represented by such membership interests assigned to the holders of such interests on September 18, 2025 was $156,960 or $1.744 per share. The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on September 18, 2025, the date of the grant agreement, using a calculation prepared by a third party valuation team. The Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors. The membership interests were assigned subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination). 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 membership interests that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the assignment of the membership interests. As of October 27, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

***Promissory Note — Related Party***

On June 30, 2025, the Sponsor and EBC entered agreements to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $150,000 ($75,000 each) to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025, (ii) the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or (iii) the date on which the Company determines to not proceed with the Initial Public Offering.

In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. 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. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of October 27, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

***Registration Rights***

The holders of the Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and any units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and all underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement on the effective date of Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G), the registration rights granted to EBC are limited to demand and "piggyback" rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering and EBC may only exercise its demand rights on one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

***Preference Shares*** — ****The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company's board of directors. As of October 27, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

 ****

 ****

***Rights*** — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman law. In the event the Company is not the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company will redeem the public shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.

**NOTE 8 — 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. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

---

The fair value of the Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering is $2,139,000, or $0.186 per Public Right. The Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering 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 Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **October 27,<br> 2025** |
| Unit price | $10.02 |
| Stock price | $9.83 |
| Pre-adjusted value per right | $0.98 |
| Market adjustment<sup>(1)</sup> | 19.0% |

---

(1) Market adjustment reflects additional factors not fully captured
by low volatility selection, which may include likelihood of Business Combination occurring, market perception of lack of available or
suitable targets, or possible post-acquisition decline of stock price prior to beginning of the exercise period. The adjustment is determined
by comparing traded Public Right prices to simulated model outputs. The market adjustment was determined by calibrating traded Public
Rights prices as of the valuation dates.

**NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION**

ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement 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 Executive 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. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company's performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **October 27,<br> 2025** |
| Cash | $1038713 |
| Cash held in Trust Account | $115000000 |

**NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

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