Public Units

Pursuant to the Public Offering, on May 5, 2025, 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 ordinary share 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 period allotted, 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 $0.008, equaling $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.

The public warrants issued as part of the Units are accounted for as liabilities as there are terms and features do not qualify for equity classification in FASB ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” The fair value of the public warrants at May 5, 2025 was a liability of $1,524,900. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the public warrants increased to $5,292,400. The change in fair value of $3,767,400 is reflected as a loss in the condensed statements of operations.

All of the 35,880,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. 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 common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given the Class A ordinary shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity is the allocated proceeds based on the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.”

Class A ordinary shares are subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

As of June 30, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
