On September 29, 2025, American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp. A (the "<u>Company</u>") consummated its initial public offering (the "<u>IPO</u>") of 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an "<u>Ordinary Share</u>", and the Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO, the "<u>Public Shares</u>"), including the issuance of 4,500,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses) to the Company of $345,000,000.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 175,000 Ordinary Shares (the "<u>Private Placement Shares</u>") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Company's sponsor, AEXA Sponsor LLC, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,750,000.

A total of $345,000,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of September 29, 2025 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp. A:

**Opinion on the Financial Statement** 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp. A (the "Company") as of September 29, 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 September 29, 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.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

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

**AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM ACQUISITION CORP. A** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

**SEPTEMBER 29, 2025** 

**Note 1—Organization and Business Operations** 

American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp. A (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 11, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a 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. The Company's efforts to identify a prospective initial business combination target will not be limited to a particular industry, sector or geographic region. While the Company may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of the management team and initially focus the search on identifying a prospective target business that can benefit from the founder Chamath Palihapitiya's historical areas of business expertise.

As of September 29, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 11, 2025 (inception) through September 29, 2025 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 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 Company's Sponsor is AEXA Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"). The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 25, 2025. On September 29, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 4,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, at $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 175,000 private placement shares (the "Private Placement Shares"), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $1,750,000. 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 Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions).

Transaction costs amounted to $11,130,322, consisting of $250,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,350,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $530,322 of other offering costs.

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) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of the initial business combination. If the board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the initial business combination, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. 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 September 29, 2025, an amount of $345,000,000 ($10.00 per share) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares was held in a Trust Account (the "Trust Account") and initially be 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 Shares will not be released.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

**SEPTEMBER 29, 2025** 

**Note 1—Organization and Business Operations** (cont.)

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 27 months from the closing of this offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from 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 the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares 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), 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 Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("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 and up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation and 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, Private Placement 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, Private Placement 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 and Private Placement 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 and Private Placement 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 is 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, 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 underwriter 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.

**Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies** 

**Basis of Presentation** 

The accompanying financial statement is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

The Company's liquidity needs up to September 29, 2025 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $2,000,000 (see Note 5). As of September 29, 2025, the Company had $1,483,003 cash and had a working capital of $927,789.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB 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 will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering 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.

**AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM ACQUISITION CORP. A** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

**SEPTEMBER 29, 2025** 

**Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies** (cont.)

**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 an emerging growth 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 financial statement 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 statement.

**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 $1,483,003 in cash and no cash equivalents as of September 29, 2025.

**Cash Held in Trust Account** 

As of September 29, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $345,000,000, 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.

**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 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 September 29, 2025, 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 September 29, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

|  Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value | 11127646 |
|  Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, September 29, 2025 | $345000000 |

---

**Offering Costs** 

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 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. Offering costs allocated to the Public and Private Placement Shares were allocated to temporary equity and shareholders' deficit, based on the classification of underlying financial instruments.

**Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies** (cont.)

**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.

**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 September 29, 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 an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company's tax provision was zero for the period presented.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

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 officer 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 July 11, 2025, inception.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not 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 September 29, 2025, the Company sold 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares including 3,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares for the full close of the underwriters' overallotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000.

**Note 4—Private Placement** 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 29, 2025, the Sponsor purchased 175,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds of $1,750,000.

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, Private Placement 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, Private Placement 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 (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 the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares 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 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 and Private Placement 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.

**Founder Shares** 

On July 25, 2025, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share, to cover certain of the Company's deferred offering costs and expenses, for which the Company issued 12,321,429 founder shares to the Sponsor. On September 25, 2025, the Company issued additional 2,464,285 founder shares to the Sponsor through share capitalization. As a result, the Sponsor holds an aggregate of 14,785,714 founder shares. Up to 1,928,571 of the founder shares may be surrendered by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the underwriter's over-allotment is exercised. On September 29, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 1,928,571 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

On September 23, 2025, the Sponsor assigned and transferred an aggregate of 300,000 founder shares (150,000 founder shares each) to the two independent director nominees of the Company in exchange for their services as independent directors through the Company's initial Business Combination. The transfer of the founder shares to the holders 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 300,000 founder shares assigned to the holders on September 23, 2025 was $513,000 or $1.71 per share. The shares were transferred 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 shares less the amount initially received for the shares. As of September 23, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.

The Company's initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) date following the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination on which a change of control occurs. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company's initial shareholders with respect to any founder shares (the "Lock-up"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing 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 at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if a change of control occurs after the completion of the initial Business Combination, the founder shares will be released from the Lock-up.

**Promissory Note—Related Party** 

The Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $2,000,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loan is non-interest bearing and unsecured. The promissory note is payable on the earlier of December 31, 2027 or the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, out of the $500,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated to the payment of offering expenses, from amounts available for working capital or from the net proceeds of this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares not held in the Trust Account. As of September 29, 2025, the Company had borrowed $122,830 under the promissory note which was paid subsequent to the closing of Initial Public Offering.

**Working Capital Loans** 

In order to 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 the Working Capital Loans. 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 Shares of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share, at the option of the lender. There are no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of September 29, 2025.

**Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies** 

**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 the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also 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 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. On February 1, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, which were subsequently suspended for a period of one month, and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. More recently on April 2, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order imposing a minimum 10 percent baseline tariff on all U.S. imports, with higher tariffs applied to imports from 57 specific countries. The baseline tariff rate became effective on April 5, while tariffs on imports from the 57 targeted nations, ranging from 11 to 50 percent, took effect on April 9. On the same day, President Trump announced a 90-day 'pause' on reciprocal tariffs for all but China, which continues to face tariffs as high as 145%. 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.

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.

**Registration Rights** 

The holders of the (i) founder shares, (ii) Private Placement Shares, and (iii) Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company's completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

**Underwriting Agreement** 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to cover over-allotments, if any. On September 29, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option, closing on the 3,450,000 additional Class A Ordinary Shares simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $250,000 which was paid in cash upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Additionally, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $0.30 per Share, or $10,350,000 in the aggregate. Such deferred underwriting commissions will not be payable with respect to any shares redeemed in connection with an initial business combination, and may be paid at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company's management team to any one or more FINRA members, which may or may not include the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering. The deferred underwriting discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

**Advisory Fee** 

In addition to the underwriting agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with the underwriter in which the underwriter is entitled to an advisory fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds raised in the Initial Public Offering upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. As of September 29, 2025, $10,350,000 has been recorded as advisory fee payable on the accompanying balance sheet.

**Note 7—Shareholders' Deficit** 

***Preference Shares***—The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At September 29, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

***Class A Ordinary Shares***—The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At September 29, 2025, there are 175,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding the 34,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption.

***Class B Ordinary Shares***—The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At September 29, 2025, there are 14,785,714 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of 1,928,571 Class B ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriter in full. On September 29, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 1,928,571 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Company's initial Business Combination, upon the earlier of (i) (a) solely with respect to one-third of such aggregate number of founder shares, a time after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination in which the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination equals or exceeds $15.00, (b) solely with respect to an additional one-third of such aggregate number of founder shares, a time after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination in which the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination equals or exceeds $17.50, and (c) solely with respect to the remaining one-third of such aggregate number of founder shares, a time after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination in which the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination equals or exceeds $20.00; and (ii) subsequent to the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination, the date on which a change of control occurs. Any founder shares that have not converted into Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the aforementioned clauses on the date that is ten years after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination shall be promptly returned by the initial shareholders to the Company, without any consideration for such transfer, and cancelled by the Company. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such 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, 30% of the sum of (i) the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option and excluding the Private Placement Shares issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent shares issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans). Such adjustment may result in material dilution to the public shareholders.

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 simple 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 require 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 appoint 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 adopt new constitutional documents 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.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

**SEPTEMBER 29, 2025** 

**Note 8—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 chief operating decision maker, 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. 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:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **September 29,<br>2025** |
|  Cash | $1483003 |
|  Cash held in Trust Account | 345000000 |

---

The CODM reviews the position of total assets to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities. The CODM is provided with details of cash and liquid resources available with the Company. Additionally, the CODM regularly reviews the status of deferred costs incurred to assess if these are in line with the planned use of proceeds to be raised from the public offering.

**Note 9—Subsequent Events** 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through October 3, 2025, the date that the financial statement was issued. Based upon this review, other than noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.

On September 30, 2025, subsequent to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company repaid the Sponsor for its borrowings against the promissory note amounting to $122,830.
