Founder Shares

 

On July 30, 2024, the Sponsor received 9,583,333 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a payment of $25,000 to a vendor. On March 13, 2025, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 3,740,591 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender of 3,740,591 Class B ordinary shares to the Company for no consideration on March 13, 2025. On May 14, 2025 the Company issued an additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor owning 7,011,288 Class B ordinary shares as of May 14, 2025. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the issuance of the additional 1,168,548 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor on May 14, 2025.

 

Institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor) (the “non-Sponsor investors”), accredited investors, and certain directors of the Company purchased 1,545,376 Founder Shares from the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $3,800,032. The Sponsor purchased 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($3,821,591 in the aggregate) in Private Placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As additional consideration to induce certain of the Company’s directors and the non-Sponsor investors to purchase Founder Shares from the Sponsor, the Company issued an aggregate of 772,688 of the 3,821,591 Private Placement Warrants to such non-Sponsor investors upon the consummation of the Private Placement, at no additional cost to such non-Sponsor investors.

 

The Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 500,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s independent directors and officers prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

As such, the Company will not recognize any expense until the Initial Business Combination is probable. The Sponsor may transfer up to an additional 200,000 Founder Shares to certain advisors after the completion of the Initial Public Offering and prior to the closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination.

 

Up to 914,514 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent 22.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. No Founder Shares were forfeited as the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.

  

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell 90% of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $11.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, 10% of the Founder Shares shall not be subject to such restrictions (such date on which the founder shares are no longer subject to restriction, the “Lock-up Expiration Date”).

The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into Class A ordinary shares, at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of $8.00 and the Note Conversion VWAP, at the option of the lender. The shares issuable upon conversion of such loans would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares that are sold as a part of the Public Units in the Initial Public Offering. In the event that a Business Combination is not consummated, 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.
