To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Gores Holdings XI, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gores Holdings XI, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 24, 2026, 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 June 24, 2026, 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.

BALANCE SHEET

GORES HOLDINGS XI, INC.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET

Gores Holdings XI, Inc. (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 22, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses ("Business Combination").

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that can benefit from its management team's established global relationships and operating experience. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 24, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 22, 2025 (inception) through June 24, 2026 relates to the Company's formation and the Initial Public Offering, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a 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 Gores Sponsor XI LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company (the "Sponsor").

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO") was declared effective on June 22, 2026. On June 24, 2026, the Company consummated its IPO of 35,880,000 units (the "Units"), including the exercise in full by the underwriter of an option to purchase up to 4,680,000 Units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $358,800,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), and one-fourth of one warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "Private Placement Shares") to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,250,000. The Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Company's Registration Statement for its IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations with having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes paid or payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). There is no assurance

3

that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Shares, will be held in a trust account ("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 and, may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company's shareholders, as described below.

We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein, 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 thereon (net of amounts withdrawn or eligible to be withdrawn to fund our regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto, working capital requirements, in each case subject to the limitations described herein, and/or to pay our taxes (which shall exclude the 1% U.S. federal excise tax that was implemented by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 if any is imposed on us), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public Class A ordinary shares, subject to applicable law. As further described in this prospectus, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in this offering.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's ordinary shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares without the Company's prior written consent.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination.

4

The Company has until the date that is 24 months from the closing of the IPO (or 27 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO) or until such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve, to consummate the Company's initial business combination. As a result, as described in more detail in the prospectus, The Company will have up to 27 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate the Company's initial business combination. If the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO), or such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve, from the closing of the IPO, the Company will redeem 100% of the public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned thereon (except with respect to up to $600,000 per year (plus the rollover of unused amounts from prior years) of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements (provided that, only $150,000, plus the rollover of unused amounts from prior years, of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account may be released to the Company during the three month period that will begin 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (the "Completion Window")), plus additional amounts of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (which shall exclude the 1% U.S. federal excise tax that was implemented by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 if any is imposed on the Company and which shall not be subject to the $600,000 annual limitation (or $150,000 limitation) described above), and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the Company's initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of the Company's public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within the Completion Window, or such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve, or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of all of the Company's public shares if the Company is unable to complete its business combination within the Completion Window, or such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve, subject to applicable law.)

If the Company anticipates that it may be unable to consummate its initial business combination within such 24-month (or 27-month) period, the Company may seek shareholder approval to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to further extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval for an extension, and the related amendments are implemented by the Company's board of directors, holders of the Company's public Class A ordinary shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares, subject to applicable law. The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per share ($10.00).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be 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 by 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 (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes paid or payable. This 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 nor will it apply to any claims under the Company's indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of

5

1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering.

Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet of the Company is presented in U.S. dollars 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 SEC.

Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration

The Company's liquidity needs up to June 24, 2026 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $600,000 (Note 6). As of June 24, 2026, the Company had $1,958,292 in cash and working capital of $1,204,675.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial 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. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, including the repayment of loans from the Sponsor to pay for any amount deposited to pay for any extension of the time to complete the initial Business Combination, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement shares, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender, upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

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 has the Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statement.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, 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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 an 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 statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 statements 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 and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

6

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $1,958,292 in cash and no cash equivalents as of June 24, 2026.

Cash Held in Trust Account

As of June 24, 2026, the Company held cash in the Trust Account of $358,800,000.

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.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - "Expenses of Offering". Offering costs were $22,482,790 (including $10,764,000 in underwriters' fees and $10,764,000 in advisory fees) consisting principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and were charged to shareholders' deficit upon the completion of the Public Offering.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are

7

classified in the balance sheet as current or noncurrent based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Warrants are deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed to the contingently redeemable shares and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 815.

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 June 24, 2026, 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.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO 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. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

At June 24, 2026, 35,880,000 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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.

Pursuant to the Public Offering, on June 24, 2026, the Company sold 35,880,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Units"), including 4,680,000 Units as a result of the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $358,800,000. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Each unit will consist of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Each warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances), in each case as described in the warrant agreement. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete its Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month (or 27-month) period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the warrants will expire at the end of such period. While the Company has registered the offer of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act as part of the Registration Statement of which the prospectus forms a part, the prospectus cannot be used for the purpose of a future decision to exercise the warrants, and the Company does not plan on keeping a prospectus current until after the closing of the initial business combination in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable following the closing of the initial business combination, but in no event later than 20 business days thereafter, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or F-1, as applicable, under the Securities Act covering the issuance of such shares upon exercise of the warrants.

The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $0.007 ($250,000) of the per Unit offering price, not including the Units sold per the exercise of the underwriter's exercise of the over-allotment option, to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the "Deferred Discount") of 3.00% ($10,764,000) of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company's completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

In addition to the deferred underwriting discounts, the Company will engage Santander US Capital Markets LLC to provide advisory services from time to time. As compensation for the services provided under an engagement letter, the Company shall pay Santander US Capital Markets LLC a fee equal to 3.00% ($10,764,000) of the gross proceeds raised in the IPO, payable upon closing of such initial Business Combination. The Company has agreed to indemnify Santander US Capital Markets LLC and its affiliates in connection with its role in providing the advisory services.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 225,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "Private Placement Shares") to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,250,000. The Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Company's Registration Statement for its IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Founder Shares

On July 22, 2025, the Company's sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of the Company's offering costs in consideration of 8,970,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares (the "Founder Shares"). Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by its sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the Company by the aggregate number of Founder Shares issued. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Proposed Offering would be a maximum of 35,880,000 shares if the underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20.00% of the outstanding shares after the Proposed Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares). Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Sponsor has entered into a Securities Assignment Agreement with each of the Company's independent directors, pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred and assigned 25,000 of its Founders Shares to each of the independent directors (an aggregate of 75,000 Founders Shares) for an aggregate purchase price of $209.03.

After taking into account the issuance of the private placement shares, the Sponsor owns an aggregate of 9,120,000 ordinary shares or 20.2% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares immediately following the completion of the IPO. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described in the prospectus will take effect as a redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law.

Except as described in the prospectus, the Sponsor and the Company's initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) 180 days after the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Company's initial Business Combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company's public shareholders having the rights to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) any of the private placement shares until 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial business combination. 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 or private placement shares.

Administrative Service Agreement

Related Party Loans

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $236,120 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the "Note") issued by the Company in favor of the Sponsor to cover organizational expenses and expenses related to the Public Offering. The Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the completion of the IPO. The Note was repaid on June 29, 2026, after completion of the IPO and is no longer available after closing.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company's initial Business Combination. The holders of these securities will be 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 completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was paid a commission of $0.007 per unit on all units sold other than units sold per the underwriter's over-allotment option ($250,000 in the aggregate) upon the closing of the IPO.

The underwriter will also be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $10,764,000 (3.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO held in the Trust Account) upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, but such deferred underwriting discount shall be subject to pro-rata reduction based on the number of Class A ordinary shares redeemed by the Company's public shareholders. Such deferred commissions will be subject to pro rata reduction based on the extent of redemptions that reduce the amount of the trust account at the time of the Company's consummation of its initial business combination. The deferred commissions may be allocated to members of FINRA who have assisted in the consummation of the Company's initial business combination, at the discretion of the Company.

Advisory Fee

In addition to the deferred underwriting discounts, the Company will engage Santander US Capital Markets LLC to provide advisory services from time to time. As compensation for the services provided under an engagement letter, the Company shall pay Santander US Capital Markets LLC a fee equal to 3.00% ($10,764,000) of the gross proceeds raised in the IPO, payable upon closing of such initial Business Combination. The Company has agreed to indemnify Santander US Capital Markets LLC and its affiliates in connection with its role in providing the advisory services.

Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 24, 2026, there were 225,000 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 35,880,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 24, 2026, there were 8,970,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001. The Company's board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. At June 24, 2026, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding..

There were 8,970,000 warrants outstanding at June 24, 2026. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade.

The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). The Company is not registering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable following the closing of the initial business combination, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after the closing of the initial business combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed; provided, that if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.

The Company accounts for the 8,970,000 warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value and charge the costs associated with issuing such warrants to operations. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company records a derivative liability upon the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as a liability at their fair value and allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units to the warrants. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects management's estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with the IPO are subject to treatment as a liability. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation methodology to value the warrants for periods prior to public warrant trading and will use observable transactions for subsequent periods, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO Closing Date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable 'blank-check' companies that recently went public. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants:

The following table presents information about the Company's liabilities that are measured at fair value on at June 24, 2026 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Middle East 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 (SWIFT) 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 escalation of the Middle East 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 cyberattacks 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.

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 escalation of the Middle East conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, 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.

FASB ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes standards for companies to report, in their financial statements, 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 ("CODM"), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company's CODM has been identified as the CFO, 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. 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 included in the total assets, which include the following:

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. The CODM will review the interest that will be earned and accrued on cash held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after June 24, 2026, the balance sheet date, up to June 30, 2026, the date the financial statement was available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
