Founder Shares

 

On July 4, 2023 and September 29, 2023, the Sponsor acquired 100 and 1,437,400 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”), respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.02 per share. As of June 30, 2025, there were 1,437,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding, among which, up to 187,500 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised. On July 8, 2024, the underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full, hence, all 187,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As a result, all Class B ordinary share amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2024 appearing in these unaudited condensed financial statements have been retroactively restated to include the 187,500 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture.

On March 20, 2025, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Cameron R. Johnson as the director of the Company, the Sponsor issued a share purchase option dated March 20, 2025 (the “Share Purchase Option”) to Mr. Johnson, entitling Mr. Johnson to acquire 10,000 Founder Shares upon the exercise of the Share Purchase Option once the existing lock-up term on such Founder Shares expires pursuant to the terms and arrangements thereunder. The Company has entered into an indemnity agreement with Mr. Johnson in connection with his appointment. The estimated fair value of the Share Purchase Option at the grant date was $102,632, which will be recorded as a stock-based compensation expense upon the exercise of the option pursuant to the terms and conditions in the purchase agreement at the earlier of (i) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares of the Company for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Johnson may exercise, with respect to 50% of Founder Shares underlying the Share Purchase Option, if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares of the Company equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing from the Company’s initial Business Combination, and at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City local time, on the earlier of the liquidation of the Company’s Trust Account, in the event the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the required time periods and July 1, 2029, five years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to 10,000 ordinary shares of the Company, including Founder Shares and/or any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of such Founder Shares, currently held by the Sponsor acquired from the Company prior to the completion of the IPO.

 

The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Public Units sold in the IPO, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) holders of the Founder Shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to its initial Business Combination, (ii) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and (iii) the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination by September 3, 2025 (or up to July 3, 2026 if fully extended), although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within such time period and (iii) the Founder Shares and Private Shares are subject to registration rights. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor, and its officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with the Company, to vote any Founder Shares and the Private Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of its initial Business Combination.

 

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of its initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein and in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the IPO and related to the closing of the Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of the IPO (excluding the Private Shares and the Representative Shares) plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent units issued to its sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). Holders of Founder shares may also elect to convert their Class B ordinary shares into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for its Class A ordinary shares issued in a financing transaction in connection with its initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities. However, in no event may any Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to the permitted transferees, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (1) six months after the completion of its initial Business Combination and (2) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after its initial Business Combination that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period after the Company’s initial Business Combination, 50% of the Founder shares will be released from the lock-up.

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On September 30, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the closing of the IPO or (2) the date on which the Company determines not to conduct an initial public offering of its securities, unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The outstanding loan balance of $369,011 was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account on July 3, 2024. As such, there was no loan outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, 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, it would 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 but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans (“Working Capital Loans”) made by the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates to the Company prior to or in connection with its initial Business Combination may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of its initial Business Combination. The units would be identical to the Private Units.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 

Administrative Support Services

 

Commencing on the effective date of the registration statement of the IPO, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of its initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred $90,000 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $30,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $20,000 was included in the amount due to a related party as of June 30, 2025.
