Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 4, 2024 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"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 4, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, we expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest and/or dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we had a net loss of $74,576 and $0, respectively, which consisted of formation, general and administrative costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we had a net loss of $78,276 and $3,850, respectively, which consisted of formation, general and administrative costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity were the initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $226 in cash and working capital deficit of $224,010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $4,774. Net loss of $78,276 was affected by the payment of formation, general and administrative costs through promissory note - related party of $12,420, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of the Company of $61,082.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $3,850 was offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of the Company of $3,850.

Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on August 14, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,015,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,915,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,150,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 747,000 private placement units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor"), the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $7,470,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, a total of $300,150,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred total transaction costs of $18,663,553, consisting of $5,220,000 of cash underwriting fee, $12,789,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $654,553 of other offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at the time of the initial Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. In addition, the Company may withdraw interest income earned on the Trust Account for working capital, subject to a limit of $500,000 per year, or to pay taxes.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if the actual costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination exceed the Company's estimates, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on August 13, 2026, the date on which the Company's securities are listed on Nasdaq, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space, utilities and shared personnel support services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of June 30, 2026, no amount has been accrued for these services.

Advisory Agreement

Commencing on August 13, 2026, the date on which the Company's securities are listed on Nasdaq, the Company agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, a total of $30,000 per month for advisory services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of June 30, 2026, no amount has been accrued for these services.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,915,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 14, 2026, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, closing on the 3,915,000 additional Units simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $5,220,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $12,789,000, payable to the underwriters only upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
