Founder Shares

 

On March 3, 2021, one of our officers paid $25,000, to cover certain of our offering costs, in exchange for an aggregate of 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”), which were temporarily issued to such officer until such shares were transferred to our sponsor in April 2021. Our Sponsor was formed on March 9, 2021. In February 2022, our Sponsor forfeited 1,437,500 Founder Shares for no consideration, remaining with 5,750,000 Founder Shares. Prior to the IPO, on March 9, 2022, our Sponsor transferred 30,000 of our Founder Shares to each of our three independent directors. These 90,000 shares were not subject to forfeiture. The allocation of the Founder Shares to the directors is in the scope of ASC 718. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Company used the Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value associated with the Founder Shares granted. The fair value of the 90,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors in March 2022 was $662,245 or $7.36 per share. The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition, the occurrence of an Initial Business Combination. Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under ASC 718. The Company determined the performance conditions are not considered probable, and, therefore, no share-based compensation expense was recognized as of As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unrecognized stock compensation expense was $662,245.

 

On March 14, 2022, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination; or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale 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 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date following the completion of our initial business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

The Founder Shares will convert concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination at the option of the holders thereof or at any earlier date at the option of the holders thereof (where such holders have waived any right to receive funds from the trust account) on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the Company’s Initial Business Combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by Public Shareholders), including the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Promissory Note - Related Party

 

On December 6, 2023, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with the Sponsor. This note is payable on demand and has an interest rate equal to the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) three-month rate, fixed on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has $1,283,916 and $1,032,227 outstanding balance under this promissory note. This outstanding includes $62,667 and $32,228 in interest as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

On June 12, 2024, the Company entered into another promissory note agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,125,000. The promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025, and (ii) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $285,000 and $85,000 outstanding balance under this promissory note respectively.

 

Due to Related Party

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of $4,485,575 and $4,076,848 due to the Sponsor in connection with the extension of the termination date through April 14, 2025. This loan is due on demand, has no interest, and is forgiven should the Company not complete an initial business combination.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

Following our IPO, the Company pays the Sponsor or an affiliate a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative services. In August 2023, the Company and its Sponsor executed an agreement to discontinue the remittance of administrative fees to the Sponsor with an effective date of August 1, 2023. Since the Sponsor continued to render these administrative services, the Company recorded the fair value of such services in accordance with SAB Topic 5T. The administrative fees of $60,000 incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were included within formation and operating costs on the accompanying statements of operations and as a deemed capital contribution within the accompanying statements of Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption and Shareholders’ Deficit.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
