Insider Shares

 

On April 18, 2024, the Company issued 2,156,250 Class B ordinary shares, par value of $0.0001 each (the “Class B insider shares”), to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.012 per share. On June 27, 2024, the Company issued additional 4,521,169 Class B ordinary shares, at par value of $452, which is accounted for as a nominal issuance to the sponsor. In total, an aggregate 6,677,419 Class B ordinary shares were issued to the Sponsor, at a per-share price of approximately $0.004 per share. On February 25, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to transfer all the insider shares it held to Sponsor HoldCo as capital contribution, in exchange for the issuance of 100 membership interests to the Sponsor and for the admission of the Sponsor as the sole member of the Sponsor HoldCo. On April 30, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to surrender 4,507,258 insider shares it held, as a result of which the Sponsor HoldCo owns 2,010,161 insider shares. On May 21, 2025, Sponsor HoldCo converted 800,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis to 800,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A insider shares”, with the Class B insider shares, the “insider shares”). As a result, the Sponsor HoldCo owns 800,000 Class A insider shares and 1,150,161 Class B insider shares.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Sponsor entered into a securities transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred 100,000 Class B insider shares, for a total purchase price of $1,159 to Bala Padmakumar, the former CEO, Chairman and Director of the Company, and 60,000 Class B insider shares for a total purchase price of $695 to Evan M. Graj, the CFO and director of the Company, respectively. The fair value of these 160,000 shares transferred on the grant date was $33,760 or $0.211 per share, based on valuation performed by a third-party specialist. The Company accounted for the transfer under ASC 718 stock compensation (See Note 2 for details).

 

The share price was calculated using a scenario-based method, incorporating probabilities of both a business combination and an IPO, with the total Unit value reaching $10 and the Right valued at one-eighth of the share price. Based on these probabilities, an indicated per share marketable value for the Founders Shares was determined, and a discount for lack of marketability, derived from the Finnerty model, a valuation methodology, was applied to yield a minority non-marketable fair value. The following criteria presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the founder share valuation performed by a third-party specialist:

2024
 
Estimated Volatility  102.5%
Risk-free rate  4.67%
Spot price $9.639

Concurrent with the IPO, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 of its Class B insider shares, or 20,000 each to its three independent directors for their board service, for nominal cash consideration, of $696. The fair value of these 60,000 shares transferred on the grant date was $156,600 or $2.61 per share per valuation performed by a third-party specialist. The Company accounted for the transfer under ASC 718 stock compensation (See Note 2 for details).

On April 18, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO.

Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes (“Working Capital Loans”) may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination into working capital Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. If the Company do not complete a Business Combination, the loans would be repaid out of funds not held in the trust account, and only to the extent available.

The number of private units to be received by the Sponsor HoldCo in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor HoldCo by (y) $10.00.
