On July 18, 2025 the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to purchase Class B ordinary shares (also referred to as “founder shares”) from the Company. Up to of the founder shares may be surrendered by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. The Sponsor has transferred, pursuant to a Securities Transfer Agreement that closed immediately prior to effectiveness of the registration statement, founder shares (or 60,000 in the aggregate) to each of Parker White, a director of the Company and the Company’s director nominees, Tyler Evans and Pierre Rochard, for the sum of $0.003 per share. The Company accounted for the transfer of founder shares to the directors in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Based Compensation” and recognized the grant date fair value of the founder shares as compensation costs upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Compensation costs were recognized upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering as it is a condition of the transfer that the applicable director nominees serve as director of the Company at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The fair value of the founder shares at their grant date, November 25, 2025, was $5.49 per founder share, or an aggregate value of $329,000 for the transferred founder shares.
The fair value of the Class B ordinary shares transferred to the directors was determined to have a grant date of November 25, 2025. The fair value of the Class B ordinary shares was determined by applying a discount for lack of marketability to the underlying stock price of a Class A ordinary share, adjusted for the estimated probability of a successful initial Business Combination. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Class B ordinary shares:
