Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 9, 2024 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). We have not selected any Business Combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the forward purchase agreements (or backstop agreements we may enter into or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, as described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on assets held in our Trust Account (defined below) after the Initial Public Offering. 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, 2025, we had net income of $1,051,484, which resulted from investment earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,147,520 offset by general and administrative expenses of $96,036.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $998,635, which resulted from earnings and realized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,147,520, offset by general and administrative expenses of $148,885.

Through June 30, 2025, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to the Initial Public Offering, and activities relating to general corporate matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $158,436. Net income of $998,635 was adjusted for earnings on marketable securities in our Trust Account of $1,164,886 and operating expenses paid via promissory note - related party of $112,848. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $5,858 of cash for operating activities primarily due to primarily due to increases in accrued expenses and due to related party, offset by an increase in prepaid insurance.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $172,500,000 and affected by cash deposited in Trust Account.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $172,341,564, which was due to proceeds from the sale of Units (as defined below), Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) and public warrants issued as part of the Units.

The Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 28, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units, (the "Units" and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters' (as defined below) over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,450,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the "Private Placement Warrants"), generating gross proceeds of $5,450,000. Of the 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the "Underwriters") purchased an aggregate of 1,725,000 Private Placement Warrants and RAAQ Sponsor LLC, the Company's sponsor (the "Sponsor"), purchased 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 30, 2025, an amount of $172,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account located in the United States (the "Trust Account").

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the Trust Account will be sufficient to pay our taxes. We expect the only taxes payable by us out of the funds in the Trust Account will be income and franchise taxes, if any. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.

After taking into consideration the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of the (i) Class B ordinary shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the "Founder Shares"), (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Private Placement Warrants 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 Company's securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company's initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement and assuming $1,500,000 of working capital loans are converted into warrants, the Company will be obligated to register up to 12,700,000 Class A ordinary shares and 6,500,000 warrants. The number of Class A ordinary shares includes (i) 5,750,000 Class A ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Founder Shares, (ii) 5,450,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans. The number of warrants includes up to 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants and 1,500,000 warrants that may be issued upon the conversion of working capital loans. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers 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 Company's initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Promissory Notes - Related Party

On December 11, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the "Promissory Note"). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the date on which the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering of its securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the balance of the Promissory Note was paid in full.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting commissions. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

The Underwriters were entitled to (1) an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate, of which (i) $0.10 per Unit was paid to the Underwriters in cash at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) $0.10 per Unit was used by the Underwriters to purchase Private Placement Warrants, and (2) a deferred fee of $0.40 per Unit, or $6,900,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, and will be based on the amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account after shareholder redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates that are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require significant, difficult, subjective, or complex judgements:

Net Income Per Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company included in redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As a result, diluted income per Class A ordinary share is the same as basic income per Class A ordinary share for the periods presented.

Class B ordinary shares includes 750,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by the Underwriters (see Note 6). On April 30, 2025, the Underwriters' over-allotment option was exercised in full simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, and the 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company's Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will only redeem its Public Shares. However, the threshold in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus Public Shares are required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value ($10.07 per share as of June 30, 2025) at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss.

The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 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 ASC 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on December 9, 2024, the date of its incorporation.

The Company's management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
