| DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS SilverBox Corp IV (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on April 16, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 16, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company’s sponsor is SilverBox Sponsor IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 15, 2024. On August 19, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units ” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 455,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,550,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $13,000,434, consisting of $1,700,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,300,000 of deferred underwriting fee, $170,000 of expense reimbursement from the underwriters, and $1,170,434 of other offering costs. 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 Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on August 19, 2024, an amount of $201,000,000 ($10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company as described below, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (1) the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (2) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) the redemption of all of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not completed an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, the initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a shareholders’ meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest, divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.05 per Public Share. The ordinary shares subject to redemption 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.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will have only 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or the Company does not otherwise seek shareholder approval to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to further extend the time to complete the initial Business Combination, the Company will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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, divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (1) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (2) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (3) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window (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 the initial Business Combination within the completion window) and (4) vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction). The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) 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 (1) $10.05 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.05 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 the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act (as defined in Note 2). 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 the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure 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. Business Combination On August 6, 2025, the Company, Parataxis Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), PTX Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), PTX Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Parataxis Merger Sub”), Parataxis Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parataxis”), the Sponsor, solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the Company shareholders, and Edward Chin, solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the members of Parataxis, entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the “SPAC Merger”), and with each Company shareholder receiving one share of Pubco Class A common stock (“Pubco Class A Stock”) for each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held by such shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (b) Parataxis Merger Sub will merge with and into Parataxis, with Parataxis continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parataxis Merger”, and together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), and with members of Parataxis receiving shares of Pubco Class A Stock (other than certain members of Parataxis who will receive shares of Pubco Class C common stock) in exchange for their units in Parataxis in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. As a result of the Mergers, SPAC and Parataxis will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with applicable law. Prior to the SPAC Merger, the Company will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation. In conjunction with the proposed Business Combination, on August 6, 2025, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Santander US Capital Markets LLC to provide capital markets advisory services pursuant to which up to $10.3 million total fees will become due and payable upon the successful completion of the proposed Business Combination. Subsequently, on August 28, 2025, SilverBox and Santander entered into an amendment of the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the total amount of deferred underwriting fees were reduced from $10.3 million to $6.03 million, which is the total amount owed to Santander at the time of Closing. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $20,931 in cash and a working capital deficit of $139,768. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of December 31, 2025, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Additionally, if a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently August 19, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company’s liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation within one year of the issuance of these financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. The Company’s liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation within one year raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. |
