Founder Shares

 

In May 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (the “Founder Shares”), in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.0033 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Units being sold in the Offering except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Public Shares at the time of the initial business combination (with such conversion taking place immediately prior to, simultaneously with, or immediately following the time of the initial business combination, as may be determined by the directors of the Company) or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. In addition, prior to the closing of the initial business combination, only holders of the Founder Shares had the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors and on continuing the company in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Offering. On September 12, 2024, the Company closed on the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option to purchase 2,000,000 Units. The underwriters forfeited their option to purchase the remaining 1,000,000 Units. As such, 333,333 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in 7,333,334 Founder Shares being outstanding after the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Sponsor is not entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the initial business combination. If the initial business combination is not completed within 21 months from the closing of the Offering, the Sponsor will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Founder Shares held by it.

 

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination (the date on which the Company consummates a transaction which results in the shareholder having the right to exchange its shares for cash, securities, or other property), in each case, subject to certain limited exceptions.

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and their underlying securities), if any, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders at the completion of the Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the initial business combination, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the registration statement for the Offering. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands and have “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

Commencing on the date on which the securities are first listed on the Nasdaq Global Market in September 2024, the Company agreed to reimburse the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof in an amount equal to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. Approximately $120,000 and $38,000, respectively, was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from May 24, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024, for this agreement and no amounts were payable at December 31, 2025 or 2024. 

 

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

 

Also, commencing on the date on which the securities are first listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, in September 2024, the Company agreed to compensate each of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer $33,000 per month for their services prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, of which $16,500 per month would be payable on a current basis and the balance would be payable upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. In addition, the Company agreed to pay its Executive Director director fees of $33,000 per month, all of which would be payable upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Approximately $1,188,000 and $380,000, respectively, was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from May 24, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024 for these agreements, including approximately $792,000 and $253,000 of which for the respective periods, which is payable upon completion of an initial business combination. The total amount accrued for deferred compensation aggregated approximately $1,045,000 and $253,000, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

  

Related Party Loans

 

On July 18, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2024, or the date on which the Company consummates the Offering. During the period from May 24, 2024 (inception) to the closing of the Offering in September 2024, the Company borrowed approximately $209,000 under the Note (all of which was borrowed in the period from May 24, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024). The total amount under the Note was repaid at the closing of the Offering in September 2024 leaving no balance outstanding at either December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. There are no further borrowings available to the Company under the Note.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or 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 its initial business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial 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. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

 

In November 2025, the Company drew down $250,000 under the Working Capital Loan under the provisions described above, except that such notes are not convertible into Class A ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2025 the Company had $250,000 outstanding under these loans which are reported as notes payable – related party in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, in January 2026, the Company drew down an additional $290,000 of Working Capital Loan under the same provisions as the earlier loan including that such notes are not convertible into Class A ordinary shares.
