Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as "may", "should", "could", "would", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management's current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC, including herein. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements".

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 10, 2026 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Market Technology Acquisition Sponsor LLC.

Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on businesses operating across the global capital markets ecosystem, with particular emphasis on licensed U.S. equities and options clearing businesses and related market infrastructure, and post-trade, brokerage, custody, execution and financial technology platforms. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on July 23, 2026. On July 27, 2026, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,500,000 Public Units, including 500,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half (1/2) of one Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $205,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 712,500 Private Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,125,000. Of those 712,500 Private Units, the Sponsor purchased 452,500 Private Units and BTIG purchased 260,000 Private Units. The Private Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the amount of $206,025,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

We have until April 27, 2028 (21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.

Recent Developments

On July 13, 2026, the Sponsor assigned and transferred interests in an aggregate of 110,000 Founder Shares to our Chief Financial Officer and our three independent directors in exchange for their services as officers and independent directors through the initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares will remain with the Sponsor if the holders of the Founder Shares are no longer serving our Company prior to the initial Business Combination.

The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on July 23, 2026.

Commencing on July 23, 2026, the date that our securities were first listed with Nasdaq, we entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

On July 27, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,500,000 Public Units, which included the partial exercise by the Underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option of 500,000 Option Units, at $10.00 per Option Unit, generating gross proceeds of $205,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 712,500 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, in the Private Placement to the Sponsor and BTIG, generating gross proceeds of $7,125,000. Of those 712,500 Private Units, the Sponsor purchased 452,500 Private Units, and BTIG purchased 260,000 Private Units.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on July 27, 2026, an amount of $206,025,000 ($10.05 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and portion of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account, with Continental, acting as trustee.

As of July 27, 2026, we had borrowed an aggregate of $215,099 under the IPO Promissory Note, of which $213,324 had been paid partially by us at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the remaining balance of $1,775 was paid in full on July 30, 2026. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.

On July 27, 2026, the Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of $4,100,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units sold in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, or $7,175,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

On July 27, 2026, the Underwriters partially exercised the Over-Allotment Option of 500,000 Option Units and forfeited the unexercised balance of 2,500,000 Option Units. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the remaining balance of the Over-Allotment Option by the Underwriters, 166,666 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 833,334 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,833,333 Founder Shares.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since April 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from April 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $53,197, which consisted of formation, general, and administrative costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs through June 30, 2026 were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares and (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. Following the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, and subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Report, our liquidity needs through July 27, 2026 have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.

Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Report and following the Initial Public Offering, including the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $206,025,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $11,883,757 in the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $4,100,000 of cash underwriting fees, the Deferred Fee of $7,175,000, and $608,757 of other offering costs.

As of June 30, 2026, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of $213,917. For the period from April 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $53,197 was offset by formation, general, and administrative costs paid through the IPO Promissory Note of $12,436 and changes in accrued expenses of $40,761. As of July 27, 2026, the Initial Public Offering closing date, we had $1,410,876 cash and a working capital of $1,284,821.

We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and exclude the Deferred Fee), 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.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team's ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

We 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.

IPO Promissory Note

Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2027 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2026, there was $197,474 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. As of July 27, 2026, we had total outstanding borrowings of $215,099 under the IPO Promissory Note, of which $213,324 has been paid partially by us at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the remaining balance of $1,775 was paid in full on July 30, 2026. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.

Working Capital Loans

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 Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. 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 Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,250,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Units (and underlying securities). As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", we do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our 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, 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.

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 July 23, 2026, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse the Sponsor $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Administrative Services Agreement had not been executed and no fees were incurred for these services.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 27, 2026, the Underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 500,000 Option Units and forfeited the unexercised balance of 2,500,000 Option Units.

The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $4,100,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units offered in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, which equates to $7,175,000 in the aggregate, following the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

As of June 30, 2026, the Underwriting Agreement had not been executed.

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, BTIG may participate in a "piggyback" registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

As of June 30, 2026, the Registration Rights Agreement had not been executed.

Letter Agreement

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers have agreed that: (x) the Founder Shares shall be subject to a transfer restrictions of the earlier of (i) six months after the completion of our initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after our initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of our initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, (y) the Private Units (including their underlying securities) shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination and (z) any Units, Warrants, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares or Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days following the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement.

As of June 30, 2026, the Letter Agreement had not been executed.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements" in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements" could be materially affected. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates and policies to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. "Financial Statements".
