Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 29, 2022 as an exempted company with limited liability. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to as a "target business." We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
On July 26, 2024, we consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 units ("Units"), which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units on July 25, 2024. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share ("Ordinary Share"), and one right ("Right") to receive one-ninth (1/9) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P.") served as the representative of the underwriters of our initial public offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, we consummated the private placement with DT Cloud Star Management Limited, the sponsor ("Sponsor"), of 206,900 private units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000. As of July 26, 2024, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders, with Wilmington Trust National Association acting as trustee.
Our Units started to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (the "Nasdaq") and began trading under the ticker symbol "DTSQU" on July 25, 2024. On September 12, 2024, we announced that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the underlying component securities of the Units commencing on September 16, 2024. Those Units not separated continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "DTSQU," and each of the Ordinary Shares and Rights that have been separated trade on Nasdaq under the symbols "DTSQ" and "DTSQR," respectively.
Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. Our management team is actively seeking out potential opportunities to pursue a business combination. Completion of an initial business combination is subject to, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement providing for the transaction, satisfaction of the closing conditions included therein and approval of the transaction by our shareholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated in the near term. Nevertheless, we are confident that we will be able to find a target business that will meet expectations. We intend to capitalize on the strengths and experiences of our management team to select, acquire and form a business combination that has a competitive advantage in their core business and is positioned to bring in high returns and long-term sustainable growth.
We initially have 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering to consummate our initial business combination. On October 22, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, we have the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 26, 2024, we consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 Units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units on July 25, 2024. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, we consummated the private placement with the Sponsor of 206,900 private units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000.
Following our initial public offering and the private placement, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds were deposited in 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 trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and less taxes payable) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay our taxes. To the extent that our equity 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. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $1,195, primarily due to payments made by the sponsor, which offset the Company's operating expenditures during the period. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash at bank of $1,656.
On March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital deficit of $854,550, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and the available cash held in the Trust Account for marketable securities, which indicated a lack of liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial 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 $300,000 of such loans may be convertible upon consummation of the initial business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.
On October 28, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the sponsor, pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the "Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the consummation of the initial business combination or converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On July 29, 2025, we entered into a Letter Agreement to the Working Capital Loan Note (the "Letter Agreement") with the sponsor, pursuant to which we and the sponsor agreed to terminate the Working Capital Loan Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount that we borrowed under the Promissory Note was $nil.
On February 2, 2026, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "BCA") with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which we intend to consummate our initial business combination through a series of merger transactions. Management believes that the consummation of the proposed business combination, if completed, would provide us with an operating business and additional capital resources. However, the completion of the proposed business combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Accordingly, the matters described above do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, during the shareholder meeting, a total of 5,247,491 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption. This redemption of public shares resulted in a significant reduction in the number of outstanding public shares and has impacted the Company's available liquidity. Management is actively managing the Company's cash resources to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet the minimum cash condition required to consummate the business combination.
The redemption of public shares, together with the extension of the business combination deadline, provides the Company with additional time to pursue suitable acquisition targets. However, the redemption activity has reduced the amount of cash available outside of the Trust Account, and any further redemptions could further impact the Company's liquidity position and its ability to consummate the business combination. To support its ongoing liquidity needs and fund operating and transaction-related expenses, the Company plans to issue additional promissory notes to the Sponsor or its affiliates, subject to mutually agreed terms. The Company will continue to closely monitor its liquidity position and take appropriate actions to ensure that it maintains sufficient capital resources to complete the business combination.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Our entire activity since inception through March 31, 2026 related to our formation, the preparation for the initial public offering, and since the closing of the initial public offering, the search for a prospective initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the amount held in the trust account. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with search for, and completing, a business combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net loss of $110,289, which consisted of operating costs of $268,316, offset by interest and dividends earned on marketable securities held in the operating account and Trust Account of $158,027. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had net income of $630,284, which consisted of operating costs of $110,859, offset by interest and dividends earned on marketable securities held in the operating account and Trust Account of $741,143.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 24, 2024, the holders of the insider shares, private placement units (including securities contained therein), and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans are entitled to certain customary registration rights for the resale of such securities. The holders of these securities are entitled to make requests for no more than two demand registrations, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting commission of 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering upon the closing of the initial business combination, including (1) $0.15 per unit, or $1,035,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the initial public offering, and (2) $0.10 per unit, or $690,000 in the aggregate, for deferred underwriting commissions that will be placed in the trust account as described in the final prospectus related to the initial public offering and payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the initial business combination. In addition, we agreed to issue 69,000 ordinary shares (the "Representative Shares") to Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P.") upon the consummation of the initial public offering as part of the underwriting compensation in connection with the offering. On July 26, 2024 we issued 69,000 Representative Shares to A.G.P. at the closing of our initial public offering, which have been received by A.G.P.
Administrative Services Agreement
On July 24, 2024, we entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to us through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and our liquidation.
In addition, our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. A critical accounting estimate to our unaudited financial statements includes the valuation of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Subsequent Events
On April 6, 2026, the Company received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq stating that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450 (a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400 public shareholders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has until May 21, 2026 to submit a compliance plan, and may be granted up to 180 days from the notice date to regain compliance if the plan is accepted. The Company is evaluating strategic alternatives, including a potential transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully regain compliance or maintain its Nasdaq listing. The Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 9, 2026 to disclose this matter.
JOBS Act
We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
As an "emerging growth company", we are not required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (4) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
