| DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Launch One Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on February 21, 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 is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities for the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relate to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company and negotiating the terms of and consummating a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue 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 has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 13, 2024 (File No. 333-280188), was declared effective on July 11, 2024 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On July 15, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 3,000,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), as discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Launch One Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”), generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Of those 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Transaction costs amounted to $15,574,281, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $10,950,000, and $624,281 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee).
The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account, if any) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on July 15, 2024, an amount of $230,000,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct Treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on Management’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by July 15, 2026, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations of applicable law and the Amended and Restated Articles. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of the Trust Account was $10.77 per Public Share.
The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity subsequent to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated July 11, 2024 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, 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 Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iii) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from Public Shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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 other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, if any, 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 against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 its shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Minovia Business Combination Termination
On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Minovia BCA”) with (i) the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the SPAC Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) for the shareholders of the Company and Pubco (as defined below) (other than the shareholders of Minovia (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) and their successors and assigns) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Minovia BCA (the “SPAC Representative”), (ii) Minovia Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Minovia”), (iii) Natalie Yivgi-Ohana, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Minovia Merger for the Minovia shareholders as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (and their successors and assigns) (the “Seller Representative”), (iv) Mito US One Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Pubco”), (v) Mito Sub Israel Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Minovia Merger Sub”, together with the SPAC Representative, Minovia, Seller Representative and Pubco, the “Minovia BCA Parties”) and (vi) a to be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company that, upon execution and delivery of a joinder to the Minovia BCA, will be a party to the Minovia BCA.
On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into the Termination and Release Agreement with the Minovia BCA Parties, pursuant to which the Minovia BCA Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Minovia BCA in its entirety pursuant to Section 8.1(a) thereof. Concurrently with the termination of the Minovia BCA, each of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Minovia BCA) were automatically terminated. As a result, the Minovia BCA and Ancillary Agreements are of no further force and effect. In addition, each party released the other parties from any and all liabilities and damages relating to the transaction documents, breaches thereunder and the proposed transactions. The Company is seeking, with the Sponsor, alternative ways to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $266,001 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,077,733. The Company intends to continue to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to complete the Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2026, 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 Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5), 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.
Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently July 15, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition, the date of mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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. |
