**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure**

On October 1, 2025, Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempt company ("Mountain Lake" or "SPAC"), and Avalanche Treasury Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Pubco"), issued a press release announcing that they had entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 2025, with Avalanche SPAC Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SPAC Merger Sub"), Avalanche Company Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company Merger Sub"), Avalanche Treasury Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Newco"), and Dragonfly Digital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Seller"). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) prior to closing, Mountain Lake shall effectuate a domestication and transfer by way of continuation to, and become, a Delaware corporation ("Domestication"); (b) at least two (2) hours after the Domestication, the SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the "SPAC Merger"), and with SPAC shareholders receiving one share of Pubco Class A stock for each SPAC Class A ordinary share held by such shareholder and with each holder of SPAC rights receiving one share of Pubco Class A stock in exchange for every ten (10) SPAC rights held by such holder and (c) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Newco, with Newco continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco ("Newco Merger"), and with members of Newco ("Newco Member") receiving Pubco common stock (and, in the case of Seller, certain other consideration) for each Newco unit (the "Newco Unit") held by such Newco Member, and upon the consummation of the SPAC Merger and Newco Merger, Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

Avalanche (BVI), Inc. ("Avalanche BVI"), Avalanche Cayman (together with Avalanche BVI, the "Foundation"), the Seller, Newco and Pubco have entered into a contribution agreement (the "Contribution Agreement"), pursuant to which, on the date hereof: (a) the Foundation sold 7,317,965.61 Avax to Newco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in that certain Token Sale Agreement by and between Newco, Pubco and the Foundation dated as of the date hereof; and (b) Seller contributed directly and/or indirectly through Dragonfly Ventures L.P., Dragonfly Ventures II, L.P., and other Seller controlled vehicles 1,960,040 Avax to the Company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors (the "LLC Equity PIPE Investors") have agreed to make a private investment in Newco by purchasing Newco Units (the "Newco Units") payable in cash (in the aggregate of approximately $119 million), unlocked AVAX (in the aggerated of approximately $116 million) or locked AVAX (in the aggregate of approximately $69 million) (the "Private Placement", and together with the Business Combination, the "Proposed Transactions"), pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with Mountain Lake, Pubco and Newco. The number of Newco Units to be issued in exchange for AVAX will equal the volume-weighted average price (calculated by dividing the sum of the products of each trade's price and volume by the total volume of all trades during the specified period) of AVAX denominated in USD as calculated from all executed trades on Binance Holdings Ltd (or its successor primary spot exchange) over the five-day period ending at 8:00 p.m. New York City time on September 29, 2025 (the "Signing AVAX Price"), multiplied by the number of AVAX contributed by such investor, and then divided by $10.00.

Simultaneously with the execution of the BCA, Pubco, Mountain Lake and Mountain Lake Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), also entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor, among other things, agreed to vote its Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference herein is the investor presentation for the Private Placement, which investor presentation will be used by Mountain Lake, Pubco and Newco with respect to the Proposed Transactions.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of Mountain Lake under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any of the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 or 99.2.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Avalanche Treasury Co. Announces $675 Million+ Business Combination with Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp. with Goal to Build $1 Billion+ Ecosystem Treasury**

 

● *Exclusive relationship with Avalanche Foundation, beginning with $200 million discounted token sale at announcement* 

● *$675 million+ transaction, including approximately $460 million in treasury assets following equity private placement financing, assuming no MLAC redemptions* 

● *0.77x mNAV entry point delivering 23% discount to investors* 

**NEW YORK, NY – October 1, 2025** – Avalanche Treasury Co. (AVAT), an ecosystem-aligned digital asset treasury company with an exclusive relationship with the Avalanche Foundation, today announced a definitive business combination agreement with Mountain Lake Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: MLAC) valued at over $675 million. The transaction includes approximately $460 million in treasury assets and is designed to create a leading public vehicle for AVAX exposure. The combined company expects to list on Nasdaq in Q1 2026, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.

AVAT launches with an initial AVAX token purchase at a discount to market price and 18-month priority on Avalanche Foundation sales to U.S. digital asset treasury companies. AVAT delivers an entry point of 0.77x multiple of net asset value ("mNAV") for investors, a 23% discount compared to buying AVAX directly or through passive ETF alternatives (in each case as of today).

"Many institutions have difficulty accessing digital assets or are limited to holding native tokens without yield or ecosystem integration. We created Avalanche Treasury Co. to offer something we believe will be more valuable than passive exposure," said AVAT CEO, Bart Smith. "This is a public company launching as an active, strategic partner within the Avalanche network, offering a level of integration and alignment that investors have been demanding."

The goal of AVAT's capital raising strategy is to own more than $1 billion worth of AVAX after becoming a public company, making it a foundational partner in the growing ecosystem and a leading public vehicle for institutional AVAX exposure. The initial capital raise will result in approximately $460 million in treasury assets funded concurrent with or shortly after this announcement.

Upon the closing of the business combination, the AVAT advisory board and combined company board will be comprised of veterans bridging traditional finance expertise with deep crypto-native relationships and media connectivity. Ava Labs founder Emin Gün Sirer will serve as strategic advisor, while Chief Business Officer John Nahas will join the public company board, providing direct access to the ecosystem's architects.

"We are very pleased to welcome AVAT to the Avalanche ecosystem", said Emin Gün Sirer. "I'm honored to support them as an advisor. Their participation reflects the growing sophistication and momentum shaping Avalanche's future."

The transaction comes as anticipated regulatory clarity is expected to accelerate institutional adoption. Avalanche has emerged as an enterprise blockchain of choice, with major corporations, financial institutions, and government entities building production applications on its multi-L1 framework. The network's multi-L1 framework allows institutions to launch custom blockchains while maintaining interoperability with other blockchains on the Avalanche network.

"This team and advisory group have the institutional credibility and crypto-native expertise to execute at scale," said Paul Grinberg, Chairman & CEO of MLAC. **"**Avalanche's architecture addresses real enterprise needs in ways other protocols simply don't. What attracted us to this transaction is AVAT's operational mandate and building a treasury that actively drives token utility and adoption, not just buying and holding."

AVAT believes that it represents an evolution in digital asset treasuries, moving beyond passive accumulation models and simple ETF wrappers. AVAT intends to deploy capital directly into the Avalanche ecosystem through three strategic pillars: targeted protocol investments to drive adoption and transaction flow, partnership activation with enterprises building on-chain rails for RWAs, stablecoins, and payments, and direct support for institutional L1 launches with validator resources and liquidity.

"Our purpose is to serve as a growth engine for the entire ecosystem," said Smith. "We intend to deploy capital to empower the best builders and accelerate the most promising technologies on Avalanche, which we believe creates a powerful cycle of value. As the network thrives through our strategic support, the fundamental value of our own treasury can grow with it. We are building a company where our success and the ecosystem's success are aligned."

AVAT CEO Bart Smith brings over two decades of Wall Street experience from Susquehanna International Group and AllianceBernstein, where he was an early pioneer in bridging Wall Street and digital assets with one of the first dedicated desks of its time. The executive team includes COO Laine Litman (formerly President of HiddenRoad and Head of FI & FX, Co-Head of Crypto at Virtu Financial) and Chief Strategy Officer Budd White (former Chief Product Officer at Multisig Labs).

In addition to Sirer and Nahas, the advisory board includes Haseeb Qureshi, a managing partner from Dragonfly Capital; Blockworks CEO Jason Yanowitz; and Aave founder Stani Kulechov, bridging traditional finance expertise with deep crypto-native relationships and media connectivity. The combined company's Board of Directors will include Dragonfly General Partner Rob Hadick and Paul Grinberg, Chairman & CEO of MLAC and Chairman of Axos Financial.

The transaction has attracted significant participation from leading institutional investors and crypto-native firms, including Dragonfly, ParaFi Capital, VanEck, Emin Gün Sirer, FalconX, Monarq, Galaxy Digital, Pantera Capital, CoinFund, IMC, Kraken, Borderless, and Hunting Hill. This diverse investor base represents a powerful combination of traditional asset managers, digital asset specialists, and ecosystem participants who bring both capital and strategic value to AVAT's mission. FalconX will be providing execution and credit services to support the company's trading and capital deployment activities. Additionally, Monarq will serve as an asset manager for AVAT, contributing institutional-grade portfolio management expertise to the company's treasury operations.

The proposed transactions are expected to close in Q1 2026, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. Upon closing, AVAT intends to begin deploying capital into strategic ecosystem investments while establishing its validator infrastructure.

V. Risks

![](ex99-2_034.jpg)

34 Risk Factors CERTAIN FACTORS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE BUSINE SS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF AVALANCHE T REASURY CORPORATION, A DELAWARE CORPORATION (" PUBCO "), AVALANCHE TREASURY COMPANY LLC, A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (THE "COMPANY") AND/OR MOUNTAIN LAKE ACQUISITION CORP. ("MOUNTAIN LAKE" AND, TOGETHER WITH PUBCO AND THE COMPANY, THE "PARTIES") AND ANY PROPOSED PRIVATE INVEST MENT IN THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY (THE "PRIVATE PL ACEMENT"). THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT T HE ONLY ONES THAT THE PARTIES FACE. ADDITIONAL RISKS THAT THE PA RTIES ARE UNAWARE OF, OR THAT THE PARTIES CURRENTLY BELIEVE ARE NOT MATERIAL, MAY ALSO BE COME IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OF T HE PARTIES. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, THE BU SINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND FUTURE P ROSPECTS OF THE PARTIES COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT ED. IN THAT EVENT, THE TRADING PRICE OF PUBCO'S CLASS A COMMON STOCK (" PUBCO CLASS A COMMON STOCK") FOLLOWING THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINAT ION AMONG THE PARTIES (THE "BUSINESS COMBINATION") COULD DECLINE , AND INVESTORS COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF THEIR INVESTMENT. Risks Related to the Business and AVAX Strategy of Pubco • Pubco's principal asset will be AVAX. AVAX is a highly volatile asset, and Pubco's operating results may significantly fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of the price of AVAX and erratic m ar ket movements. • Due to Pubco's limited operating history and the concentration of its AVAX holdings, it will be difficult to evaluate Pubco's business and future prospects, and Pubco may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in any given period. • A significant decrease in the market value of Pubco's AVAX holdings could adversely affect Pubco's ability to satisfy its financial obligations under any subsequent debt financings. • Pubco will operate in a highly competitive environment and will compete against companies, asset managers and other entities with s im ilar strategies, including companies and other investors with significant AVAX holdings and ETFs and ETPs for AVAX and other dig ital assets, and Pubco's business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected if Pubco is unable to compete effectively. • The introduction of government issued digital assets could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private - sector issued digi tal assets, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could launch central bank digital cur ren cies, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including AVAX, and may adversely im pac t Pubco's business. • The emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, including by governments, consortiums or financial institutions, could have a negative impact on the price of AVAX and adversely affect Pubco's business. • Pubco's AVAX holdings will be less liquid than its cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity fo r Pubco . • Pubco will face risks relating to the custody of its AVAX. If Pubco or its third - party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to Pubco's AVAX, or if Pubco's private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, Pubco may lose some or all of its AVAX and Pubco's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. • Pubco's AVAX acquisition strategy exposes Pubco to risk of non - performance by counterparties, including, in particular, risks relating to its custodians, including as a result of inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty's financial condition and l iquidity or for any other reason. • AVAX and other digital assets are relatively novel assets, which will expose Pubco to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty, which could adversely affect Pubco's financial position, operations and prospects. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulat io ns to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that could materially adversely aff ect Pubco's financial position, operations and prospects. • Policymakers in the U.S. are just beginning to consider what a regulatory regime for digital assets would look like and the e lem ents that would serve as the foundation for such a regime. Pubco may be unable to effectively react to proposed legislation and regulation of digital assets, which would adversely affect its b usiness. • AVAX's status as a "security" in any relevant jurisdiction, as well as the status of Avalanche - related products and services in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and if Pubco is unable to properly characterize such product or service offering, Pubco may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect Pubco's business, operating results, and financial condition. • Regulatory changes classifying AVAX as a "security" could lead to Pubco's classification as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and would subject Pubco to additional regulation and could materially impact the operation of Pubco ' business. • If Pubco were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, applicable restrictions likely would make i t impractical for Pubco to continue segments of its business as currently contemplated and could adversely affect Pubco's financial condition, the market price of AVAX and the market price of Pubco's Class A Common Stock and Pubco's results of operations. • Pubco will not be subject to the same legal and regulatory obligations, including certain compliance and reporting obligations inte nd ed to protect investors, that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange - traded funds, or to obligations ap plicable to investment advisers. • Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many AVAX trading venues, AVAX trading v enu es may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more establi she d asset classes, which may result in a loss of confidence in AVAX trading venues and adversely affect the value of Pubco's AVAX holdings. • AVAX is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer - to - peer Avalanche network, a decentralized network of compute rs running software following the Avalanche protocol. If the Avalanche network is disrupted or encounters any unanticipated d iff iculties, the value of AVAX could be negatively impacted. • Pubco may be subject to material litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as investigations and enforcem en t actions by regulators and governmental authorities. These matters are often expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adv ersely, could harm Pubco's business, financial condition, and operating results. • Pubco's compliance and risk management methods might not be effective and may result in outcomes that could adversely affect Pubco's reputation, operating results, and financial condition. • Pubco's mission and operations will include furthering the acceleration of Avalanche adoption and the fusion of AVAX into finance and c apital markets, accumulating, safeguarding and compounding AVAX, providing Avalanche - related advisory services and potentially, generating in - kind AVAX yield, among other potential operations. Pubco has not previously engaged in these, or similar, businesses and operations, and growing these operations could be difficult for us, including, without limitation, due to operational challen ges and significant competition. • Pubco may engage in AVAX - related activities in the future, including acquisition, safeguard and compounding of AVAX and providing Ava lanche - related advisory services, all of which may be subject to regulation. Pubco has not previously engaged in these business lines and may be unable to implement its business plan, including, without limit at ion, due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation. • Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, including any applicable financial indu str y regulation, could have a material adverse impact on Pubco and its activities. • If we were considered to be a "shell company" by Nasdaq, or another stock exchange on which we apply for listing, or by the S EC, we may be unable to list our Pubco Class A Common Stock on a stock exchange and the Business Combination would not occur. • We could be considered to be a "shell company" and we expect to be considered the successor to a shell company, and therefore , w e and our stockholders would be restricted in reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or res ale of securities. Risks Related to Being a Public Company • The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock may be volatile and decline materially as a result of volatility in AVAX or the digital asset markets ge ne rally, or for other reasons.

35 Risk Factors (Cont'd) Risks Related to the Business Combination • The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination will be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the pr ices of Class A ordinary shares of Mountain Lake ("Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares"). • The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied o r w aived, the Business Combination Agreement among the Parties (the "Business Combination Agreement") may be terminated in accor dan ce with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed. • The Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that limit Mountain Lake from seeking an alternative business combinat ion . • Neither Mountain Lake nor its shareholders will have the protection of any indemnification, escrow, price adjustment or other pr ovisions that allow for a post - closing adjustment to be made to the total merger consideration in the event that any of the repr esentations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement made by Pubco or any other party thereto ultimately proves to be inaccurate or incorrect. • Investors in the Private Placement will experience immediate and material dilution upon closing of the Business Combination a s a result of the Class B ordinary shares of Mountain Lake (the "Mountain Lake Class B Ordinary Shares") held by the sponsor of M ou ntain Lake (the "Sponsor"), since the value of the Mountain Lake Class B Ordinary Shares is likely to be substantially higher th an the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of Pubco Class A Common Stock at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share. • Since the Sponsor and Mountain Lake's directors and officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to (and w hic h may conflict with), the interests of Mountain Lake's public shareholders, a conflict of interest may exist in determining w het her the Business Combination with Pubco is appropriate as Mountain Lake's initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Mountain Lake if the Business Combination or any other business combination is not completed, and that t he Sponsor will be liable to Mountain Lake in certain circumstances if and to the extent any claims by a third party for service s r endered or products sold to Mountain Lake (except for our independent auditors and underwriters of Mountain Lake's initial pu bli c offering), or a prospective target business with which Mountain Lake has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agr eement or business combination agreement, reduce the redemption amount to below certain agreed upon thresholds. • Neither the board of directors of Mountain Lake (the "Mountain Lake Board") nor any committee thereof may obtain a fairness o pin ion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination. Consequently, Moun tai n Lake shareholders will have no assurance from an independent source that the price Mountain Lake is paying in the Business Com bination is fair to Mountain Lake — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view. • Mountain Lake's directors and officers will have discretion on whether to agree to changes or waivers in the terms of the Bus ine ss Combination and their interests in exercising that discretion may conflict with those of Mountain Lake's shareholders. • Members of Mountain Lake's management team and the Mountain Lake Board have significant experience as founders, board members , o fficers, executives or employees of other companies. Certain of those persons, as well as Mountain Lake's affiliates, have be en, may be, or may become, involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including related to those companies or o th erwise. The defense or prosecution of these matters could be time - consuming and could divert Mountain Lake management's attention, and may h ave an adverse effect on Mountain Lake, which may impede Mountain Lake's ability to consummate the Business Combination. • Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Mountain Lake's bu sin ess, including Mountain Lake's ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination. • If the Business Combination is not approved and Mountain Lake does not consummate another initial business combination by its de adline, then the Sponsor's ordinary shares of Mountain Lake will become worthless and the expenses it has incurred will not b e r eimbursed. These interests may influence the Sponsor's decision to approve the Business Combination. • A substantial majority of Mountain Lake 's public shareholders may redeem their Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares, which wil l reduce proceeds available to fund Pubco's operations following the Business Combination. • The ability of public shareholders of Mountain Lake to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Mountain Lak e's public shares may reduce the public "float" of Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares, reduce the liquidity of the trading ma rket for the Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, or make it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listi ng or trading of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, and consequently may not allow the parties to complete the Business Combination, or optimize Pubco's capital structure following the Business Combination. • If Mountain Lake seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and Mountain Lake's directors, officers and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares from public shareholders, subject to an y limitations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce th e p ublic "float" of Mountain Lake Class A Ordinary Shares. Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Class A Common Stock Following the Business Combination • Securities of companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies such as Pubco have been volatile. Accordingly, securities of companies such as Pubco , may be more volatile than other securities and may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of th e s pecial purpose acquisition companies prior to the merger. • Volatility in Pubco's share price could subject Pubco to securities class action litigation. • Currently, there is no public market for the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Investors cannot be sure about whether an active trading market in Pubco Class A Common Stock will develop, what the market price of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock would be or whether Pubco will successfully obtain authorization for listing on Nasdaq. • Pubco may or may not pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. • Pubco may have shareholders which, through their potential voting control of Pubco , may be in a position to control actions that require shareholder approval and may make decisions that are adverse to other sha reholders. • Pubco expects to qualify as a controlled company under applicable stock exchange rules and expects to avail itself of applicable ex em ptions from the corporate governance requirements thereof. • Holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock have no voting rights. As a result, holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock will not have any ability to influence stockholder decisions. • Sales of a substantial number of Pubco securities in the public market following the Business Combination could adversely affect the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Risks Related to Taxation • Unrealized fair value gains on Pubco's AVAX holdings could cause Pubco to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. • If Mountain Lake is characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its U.S. shar eho lders may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the Business Combination.
