Note 1 — Organization, Business Operation and Going Concern Consideration

Pantages Capital Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”, formerly known as “Aifeex Nexus Acquisition Corporation” and “Shepherd Ave Capital Acquisition Corporation”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 31, 2024 as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities (the “initial business combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. The Company has elected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from May 31, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2025, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities related to the initial public offering (“IPO”, see Note 3), and search for target for business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and Private Placement (“Private Placement”, see Note 4).

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placements Units (as defined below), although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an initial business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete an initial business combination successfully.

The Company’s founder and sponsor is Aitefund Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as “Shepherd Ave Capital Sponsor LLC” (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the IPO and the Private Placement.

On December 6, 2024, the Company consummated IPO of 8,625,000 units (including 1,125,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Class A ordinary share”), $0.0001 par value per share (collectively, the “public shares”), and one right to receive of one-fifth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination of the Company. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $86,250,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation (the “closing”) of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 244,250 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,442,500, which is described in Note 4. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one right to receive of one-fifth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination.

Transaction costs amounted to $2,528,729, consisting of $1,078,125 of underwriting commissions which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $862,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $588,104 of other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $941,835 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of accrued offering costs and for working capital purposes.

The Company’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriters’ fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. The Company will complete its initial business combination only if the post-transaction company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 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 complete an initial business combination successfully.

Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that at least $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO will be held into a U.S.-based trust account (“Trust Account”). The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury. Except with respect to dividend and/or interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units that are deposited and held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the company’s memorandum and articles of association effective at the time to (A) modify the substance or timing of obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the Company’s initial business by the Combination Deadline (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of all of public shares if the company are unable to complete their initial business combination by the Combination Deadline, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

The Company will have until March 6, 2026 (or 15 months from the consummation of the IPO) to consummate the initial business combination, or up to June 6, 2026 (or 18 months from the consummation of the IPO) if it has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination before March 6, 2026. The applicable deadline to consummate the initial business combination in each case, March 6, 2026 or June 6, 2026, is referred as the “Combination Deadline”.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.

The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be accredited to the redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company has determined not to consummate any initial business combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation in order to avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act.

If the Company does not complete its initial business combination by the Combination Deadline, 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 the Company to pay taxes that were paid by the Company or are payable by the Company, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest generated from the funds held in the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. time). The Sponsor and each member of management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units (the “private shares”), and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial business combination and to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares, and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering (or up to 18 months, if extended) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

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) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 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 the 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 underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have the Company independently verified whether the Company’s Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the company. Therefore, it cannot be assured that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Going Concern Consideration

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $294,644 cash and a working capital of $107,405. The Company expects to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial business combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the borrowing of Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). In addition, if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period by March 6, 2026, unless further extended, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate an initial business combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited financial statements are issued. The unaudited financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

As a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate an initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates an initial 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 related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate an initial business combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
