Description of Organization and Business Operations | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 19, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). 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 30, 2025, and for the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activities for the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025, relate to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) and identifying a target for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial 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 registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 9, 2022. On May 12, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000,000. Additionally, the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option in full, resulting in an additional 3,375,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $33,750,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously, with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 14,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to ICE I Holdings Pte. Ltd. (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $14,400,000. In connection with the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 1,687,500 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant generating total proceeds of $1,687,500, which is described in Note 4. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target 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 that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.30 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested 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, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. The Company provides its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. 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 Certificate of Incorporation 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 seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.30 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These Class A ordinary shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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. The Company’s Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination. On August 11, 2023, shareholders of the Company held the 2023 extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “2023 Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from August 12, 2023 to August 12, 2024. At the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 16,085,554 shares of Class A ordinary shareholders exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.74. On August 18, 2023, a total of $172,774,717 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 9,789,446 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding. As a result of the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to contribute into the Company’s Trust Account the lessor of (x) an aggregate of $100,000 or (y) $0.025 per share for each Class A ordinary share included as a part of the Units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (including any shares issued in exchange thereof) that are not redeemed at the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting for each monthly period (commencing on August 12, 2023 and ending on the 12th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, until the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination or August 12, 2024. On August 12, 2024, the Company held the 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting and approved a proposal, by special resolution, to amend the Company’s amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional nine months from August 12, 2024 to May 12, 2025. In connection with the vote to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination, the holders of 8,314,066 Class A Ordinary shares properly exercised their rights to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $95,447,584. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 1,475,380 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding. As a result of the 2024 Extraordinary Meeting, the Sponsor may extend the time period within which the Company must complete its Initial Business Combination for up to nine additional one-month periods to May 12, 2025, by contributing $50,000 per month into the Company’s Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination or May 12, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with an upcoming annual general meeting of its shareholders to, among other things, seek an extension of the Initial Business Combination period from May 12, 2025 to May 12, 2027 (“Combination Period”). On May 12, 2025, shareholders of the Company held the 2025 extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’ shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from May 12, 2025 to May 12, 2027. At the 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 1,449,359 shares of Class A ordinary shareholders exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $12.09, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $17,521,050. As a result of the 2025 Extraordinary Meeting, the time to complete the Initial Business Combination has been extended for a twenty four month period, to May 12, 2027. On December 8, 2023, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing convertible unsecured loan (“Working Capital Loan” - see Note 5) in the principal amount of up to $3,000,000 from the Sponsor to provide the Company with additional working capital and to fund the required amount to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (“Extension Contribution”). The portion of the Working Capital Loan used to provide the Company with additional working capital will not be deposited into the Trust Account. If the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination during the Combination Period, the Loan will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. The Working Capital Loan is convertible into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the initial public offering. The conversion option represents an embedded derivative under ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives.” The Company has determined that based on the valuation of its Private Placement Warrants and the fact that a Business Combination is not considered probable until such time as it is consummated, the value of this conversion option is de minimis. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination prior to May 12, 2027, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholder’s rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, 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 Public Initial Offering price per Unit of $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 a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.30 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.30 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such 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 monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However , the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. 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, 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. At the 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 12, 2024, the Sponsor of the Company elected to convert 6,468,749 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-to-one On November 4, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s listed securities fail to comply with the minimum of $50,000,000 market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A) (the “Rule”) based upon the Company’s MVLS from September 27, 2024 to November 27, 2024. On March 5, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company is not in compliance with a continued listing standard from Nasdaq under Listing Rule 5620(a) for failing to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within the required twelve-month period from the end of the Company’s fiscal year. On April 29, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 IM-5101-2”), 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Under Rule IM-5101-2, Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern Consideration As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $977,227 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,888,645. The Company’s liquidity needs up to June 30, 2025, had been satisfied by funds from the Sponsor to cover certain offering expenses. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has provided the Company a Working Capital Loan, as defined below (see Note 5). As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $2,836,172 and $1,790,000 was outstanding under the Working Capital Loan, respectively. Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statement. However, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering, as detailed in Note 3, which generated capital in excess of the funds deposited into a trust account. This excess capital may be used by the Company for general working capital purposes. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. The liquidity conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that this financial statement is issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Risks and Uncertainties On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the new law. However, none of the tax provisions are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted in August 2022, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by “covered corporations” beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders. Because we are a “blank check” Cayman Islands corporations with no subsidiaries or previous merger or acquisition activity, the Company is not currently a “covered corporation” for this purpose. The amount of the Excise Tax is generally equal to 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, there are certain other exceptions to the Excise Tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has been given authority to issue regulations or other guidance to carry out, and to prevent the avoidance of, the Excise Tax. The Treasury and the IRS recently have issued preliminary guidance regarding the application of this excise tax, but there can be no assurance that this guidance will be finally adopted in its current form. A repurchase that occurs in connection with a business combination with a U.S. target company might be subject to the Excise Tax, depending on the structure of the business combination and other transactions that might be engaged in during the relevant year. Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world, including tariff policies of the United States and other countries, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine, Hamas/Israel conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and potential future sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
