PYROPHYTE ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Description of Organization, Business Operations, Going Concern and Basis of Presentation
Pyrophyte Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Pyrophyte”, “we”, “our”) is a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on February 12, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “initial business combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Snowbank Newco Alberta ULC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed as an Alberta unlimited liability company on October 20, 2023.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 12, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the preparation of the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest or dividend income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
On November 13, 2023, the Company, Sio Silica Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Sio”), Sio Silica Incorporated, a newly-formed Alberta corporation formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Sio Business Combination and that is wholly owned by Feisal Somji, a nominee (“Nominee”) of Sio (“Sio Newco”), and Snowbank NewCo Alberta ULC, an Alberta unlimited liability corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pyrophyte Newco”) entered into a business combination agreement (as amended, the “Sio Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Sio Business Combination”) subject to terms and conditions.
On October 29, 2024, the Company received notice from the New York Stock Exchange that it would suspend the listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, public warrants and Units before market open on October 30, 2024 and commence delisting proceedings with respect to such securities because its Listed Company Manual does not permit a special purpose acquisition company, such as the Company, to remain listed for more than three years after the Company’s initial public offering. Following the suspension, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, public warrants and Units began trading on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbols “PHYTF,” “PHYWF” and “PHYUF,” respectively.
The
Company’s sponsor is Pyrophyte Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration
statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 26, 2021. On October 29, 2021, the Company
consummated its Initial Public Offering of

The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns
or acquires
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with an initial business combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.
If
the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended, the “Articles”) provides that,
a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert
or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)),
will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Articles, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors agreed (a) to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Articles with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) and Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Articles relating to shareholders’ rights of pre- Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the
April 29, 2027 (“Extended Date”) as approved at the Fourth Extension Meeting on April 28, 2026, the Company will (i) cease
all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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

Sponsor 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

Subscription Agreements
Concurrently
with the execution of the Sio Business Combination Agreement, Pyrophyte, Sio and Sio Newco entered into subscription agreements with

In
connection with the execution of the Sio Business Combination Agreement, on November 13, 2023, the Company, Sio, and certain securityholders

such shareholders agreed to vote (or cause to be voted) all of their Sio shares and other voting securities of Sio (“Subject Securities”)

As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity conditions and the proximity to liquidation date raises 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 Extended Date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are related to the fair value of the warrants.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The financial information as of December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Snowbank NewCo Alberta ULC, As of June 30, 2025. Snowbank NewCo Alberta ULC had no assets or liabilities As of June 30, 2025. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $
10
Cash held in Trust Account
On April 24, 2024, the Company amended the Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee to hold the assets in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account or cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. On the same day, the Company instructed the Trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and move the funds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with Continental continuing to act as trustee. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the funds in the Trust Account were held in an interest-bearing deposit account. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were classified as trading securities. Trading securities were presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2025, the Company investments held in Trust Account are invested in cash, due to the short-term nature cash approximates it fair value. Interest or dividend income is included in gain on cash (investments) held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account prior to the liquidation of securities were determined using available market information.
In addition, in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment at the Extraordinary Meeting, on April 25, 2025, the Company amended (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) its Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 26, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as trustee (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), to clarify that if the Sponsor fails to make a Third Extension Contribution within 45 days after the date in which a Third Extension Contribution was required to be deposited into the Trust Account, then Continental will be entitled to liquidate the Trust Account and distribute the proceeds thereof to the Public Shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.
Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placements to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, since their inclusion is contingent on a future event. As a result, diluted (loss) income per share is the same as basic (loss) income per share for the periods presented.
The Company historically had two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Upon the conversion event in April 2023 to convert Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, the Company now has Class A redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Net (loss) income per share, basic and diluted for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the pro rata allocation of net (loss) income to redeemable Class A ordinary shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Net (loss) income per share basic and diluted for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the pro rata allocation of net (loss) income to non-redeemable ordinary shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares was excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Articles. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model for the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of public warrants was valued using the listed price on an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market which is considered to be Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants were measured by reference to the trading price of the public warrants which is also considered level 2 fair value instrument. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the public warrants were valued based on the listed market price of the public warrants since they began trading on December 17, 2021 and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants were measured by reference to the trading price of the public warrants, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company determined that the conversion option embedded in its Extension
Loans and the Working Capital Loan (as defined below) (together, the “Promissory Notes”) should be bifurcated and accounted
for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815. As of June 30, 2025, although the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary
shares exceeded the exercise price of the underlying warrants. In estimating the fair value of the conversion option, the Company considered,
among other factors, the probability of an initial business combination and the likelihood of the Sponsor electing to convert the Promissory
Notes into warrants. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the probability of conversion was de minimis despite the warrants
being in-the-money. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the fair value of the conversion option was immaterial as of June 30, 2025
and, therefore, no liability was recognized for the conversion feature. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $

The Company issued
Non-Redemption Agreements
In
connection with the
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Risk and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the Middle East and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
14
Furthermore, there is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the United States and various other countries arising from changes that may be implemented by the new presidential administration, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Any actions taken by the United States’ federal government that restrict or could impact the economics of trade—including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures—could have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising rates of taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargos, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly.
Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and subsequent sanctions or related actions, including the imposition of tariffs, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which it may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company accounted for the
Additionally, certain adjustments to the settlement amount of the Private Placement Warrants are based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40, and thus the Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon issuance of the warrants at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value. The public warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined with the assistance of a professional independent valuation firm. The warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability is adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company reassesses the classification of the warrants at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary share issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary share is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 9 – Segment information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, which are held in a Trust Account.
24
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| For
The Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For
The Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | For

The Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |||||||||||||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Gain on cash (investments) held in Trust Account | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are operating costs and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account. The CODM reviews interest earned on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholders value and determine the most effective strategy of investments with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Pyrophyte Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of Cayman Islands on February 12, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any industry or sector, we will seek targets around the world that we believe are market leaders in facilitating energy transition toward decarbonization and sustainable use of energy and natural resources, and are positioned to generate long-term value and growing cash flows. In particular, we will seek to identify companies provide the necessary products, equipment, services and technologies to support the energy transition, without the need to have their business rely solely on a single type of technology. We believe our leadership team’s broad and diverse global network of transaction sources and relationships across a wide spectrum of renewable energy sectors will allow us to effectively and efficiently identify and evaluate potential opportunities for our initial business combination.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination, including the Sio Business Combination, using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. Our registration statement for the Initial Public Offering became effective on October 26, 2021. We consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000 Units on October 29, 2021. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, including the issuance of 2,625,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each public warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $201,250,000, and incurred $11,068,750 in underwriting fees (inclusive of $8,443,750 in deferred underwriting fees).
26
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 29, 2021, we completed the closing of the Private Placement of an aggregate 10,156,250 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $10,156,250.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the Private Placement, $206,281,250 ($10.25 per unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Such proceeds were invested in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until April 2024, when the trustee liquidated such investments and moved the proceeds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account. The proceeds will be held in such account until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
On April 24, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “First Extension Meeting”), pursuant to which our shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles to extend the date by which the Company must complete initial business combination from April 29, 2023 to April 29, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by our board of directors and included in a public announcement) (the “Extension”). In connection therewith, the Sponsor agreed to loan us $160,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2023 and ending on the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the date of the our liquidation in accordance with the terms of the Extension, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.92 million (the “Extension Contribution”). On May 4, 2023, we issued a convertible promissory note (the “First Extension Note”) to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.92 million. Pursuant to the First Extension Note, the Sponsor may convert the outstanding principal into Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant. The Sponsor deposited the first Extension Contribution on April 30, 2023. On April 22, 2024, the Company deposited $960,000 into the Trust Account, which amount reflected the payment in full of the Company’s remaining commitment to make an aggregate of $1.92 million of cash contributions to the Trust Account in connection with the Extension. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, the holders of 11,151,163 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.56 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $118 million, resulting in 8,973,837 public shares remaining.
At the First Extension Meeting, the shareholders also approved a proposal to provide the holders of the Class B ordinary shares with the right to convert such shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of an initial business combination at the election of such holder. On April 28, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 5,031,250 Class B ordinary shares held by it, which represented all of the Class B ordinary shares outstanding into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis for no consideration.
On April 24, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement, to permit the Trustee to hold the assets in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account or cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Company then instructed the Trustee to liquidate the Trust Account and move the proceeds into an interest-bearing demand deposit account.
On April 26, 2024, we held another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) to vote on an amendment to its Articles to further extend the date on which we had to consummate an initial business combination from April 29, 2024 to April 29, 2025. The shareholders voted to approve the amendment. The Sponsor agreed that if such amendment was approved and implemented, then it or its designee would deposit (the “Second Extension Contributions”) into the Trust Account as a loan $90,000 per month beginning on April 30, 2024 and ending on the earlier of (i) the Company’s liquidation, (ii) the consummation of an initial business combination and (iii) April 30, 2025. In connection with the Second Extension Meeting, holders of 2,683,126 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.35 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $30.4 million, resulting in 6,290,711 public shares remaining. On April 26, 2024, in connection with the Second Extension Meeting, we issued a promissory note (the “Second Extension Note”) to the Sponsor in the amount of $1.08 million in connection with the Second Extension Contributions. As of June 30, 2025, $3,078,676 had been drawn on the First Extension Note and Second Extension Note and there were Trust Account deposits totaling $3,078,676.
27
On April 25, 2025, we had an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “Third Extension Meeting”) to vote on another amendment to the Articles to extend the deadline by which we have to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2025 to April 29, 2026 (the “Third Extension”). In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders holding an aggregate of 4,776,757 public shares exercised their right to redeem their shares at a price of approximately $11.95 per share from the funds held in the Trust Account, leaving approximately $18.1 million in cash in the Trust Account after satisfaction of such redemptions. In connection with the Third Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to loan us lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 and ending on the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the date of the our liquidation in accordance with the terms of the Third Extension (the “Third Extension Contribution”), and on April 25, 2025, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Third Extension Note”, together with the First and Second Extension Notes, the “Extension Notes”) to the Sponsor in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with the Second Extension Contributions. The Third Extension Note will fund extension deposit of the lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000, for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 until April 29, 2026.
On April 28, 2026, the Company had an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “Fourth Extension Meeting”) to vote on another amendment to its articles to extend the deadline by which it has to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2026 to April 29, 2027 (the “Fourth Extension”). In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment at the extraordinary general meeting, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1,200,000 (the “Fourth Extension Note”). The Fourth Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by April 29, 2027, the Fourth Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
In addition, on April 28, 2026, the Company amended and restated its previously issued unsecured amended and restated convertible promissory note with the Sponsor to extend the maturity date thereunder from the earlier of (i) April 29, 2026 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination to the earlier of (i) April 29, 2027 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination. Other existing terms apply. The Sponsor determined to increase the monthly amount that it or its designee would deposit into the Trust Account as a loan in connection with the Extension Amendment from (a) an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.05 per Class A Ordinary Share held by public shareholders (“public shares”) multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding, and (ii) $75,000, to (b) $100,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2026, and ending on the earlier of the Company’s liquidation or April 29, 2027.
Our Units, Class A ordinary shares and public warrants had been traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) since our Initial Public Offering under the symbols “PHYT.U”, “PHYT” and “PHYT WS”, respectively. On October 30, 2024, the NYSE suspended the trading of our securities. The NYSE determined to suspend the trading of our securities because Sections 102.06e and 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual do not permit a special purpose acquisition company, such as us, to remain listed for more than three years after the company’s initial public offering without completing an initial business combination. The Company has not completed an initial business combination before October 29, 2024, which is the three-year anniversary of the Initial Public Offering. Following the suspension of trading on the NYSE, our Units, Class A ordinary shares and public warrants began immediately trading over-the-counter market and are listed on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Marketplace under the symbols “PHYTUF,” “PHYTF” and “PHYTWF,” respectively.
Our management and our board of directors have broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination.
If we have not completed our initial business combination by April 29, 2027, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) 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 and not previously released to us (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

If, prior to the Closing, the SPAC Proceeds are less than $70,000,000, then the number of Restricted Owned Shares will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement.
In connection with the Closing, each Restricted Owned Share will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Pubco Class A Common Shares pursuant to the Sio Business Combination and the Plan of Arrangement and such shares will be subject to forfeiture or release as follows: (i) half of the Restricted Owned Shares will be released to the Sponsor on the first day that the Trading Price (as defined in the Sio Business Combination Agreement) is at least $12.50, (ii) the other half of the Restricted Owned Shares will be released from forfeiture on the first day that the Trading Price is at least $15.00, in each case during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “End Date”), and (iii) after the End Date, any Restricted Owned Shares that have not been released to the Sponsor pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above will be automatically forfeited for no consideration.

There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited consolidated financial statements. Since the Initial Public Offering, we have incurred increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.
Going Concern Considerations
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $56 in cash and no cash equivalents. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through completing the Sio Business Combination and the IPO Working Capital Loan. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence, and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an initial business combination. The liquidation deadline for the Company is also currently within the next twelve months if an initial business combination is not consummated. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate the Sio Business Combination or any initial business combination will be successful.
The Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation with a currently scheduled liquidation date of April 29, 2027. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by April 29, 2027 (or such date as such deadline may be extended). In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination and raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and since the mandatory liquidation deadline is less than 12 months away, there is substantial doubt that the Company will operate 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 Extended Date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.
The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 29, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option.
Additionally, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4% of the gross proceeds of the base portion of the Public Offering and a deferred underwriting discount of 5.5% of the gross proceeds per over-allotment unit upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, for utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the management team (the “Administrative Services Agreement”). On July 1, 2022, the Company amended the Administrative Services Agreement to reduce the fee to $5,000 per month. On September 25, 2024, the Company further amended and restated the Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor, with an effective date of May 1, 2024, reinstating the monthly fee at $15,000 per month for office space and secretarial and administrative services as may be reasonably required by the Company.

On May 4, 2023, we issued a convertible promissory note (the “First Extension Note”) to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.92 million. The Sponsor may convert the principal outstanding into Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant. The Sponsor deposited the first Extension Contribution on April 30, 2023 into the Trust Account. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Date, the promissory note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

On April 22, 2024, in connection with the Company extension arrangement, the Sponsor advanced $960,000 to the Company, which amount reflected the payment in full of the Company’s remaining commitment to make an aggregate of $1.92 million of cash contributions to the Trust Account in connection with the Extension.
On April 26, 2024, in connection with the Second Extension Meeting, the Company issued a Second Extension Note to the Sponsor in the amount of $1.08 million in connection with the Second Extension Contributions. The Second Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation and (iii) April 29, 2025. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by April 29, 2025, the Second Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
On April 25, 2025, the Company had an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “Third Extension Meeting”) to vote on another amendment to its Articles to extend the deadline by which it has to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2025 to April 29, 2026 (the “Third Extension”). In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders holding an aggregate of 4,776,757 public shares exercised their right to redeem their shares at a price of approximately $11.95 per share from the funds held in the Trust Account, leaving approximately $18.1 million in cash in the Trust Account after satisfaction of such redemptions. In connection with the Third Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to loan us lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 and ending on the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the date of the our liquidation in accordance with the terms of the Third Extension, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 million (the “Third Extension Contribution”), and on April 25, 2025, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Third Extension Note”, together with the First and Second Extension Notes, the “Extension Notes”) to the Sponsor in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with the Second Extension Contributions. The Third Extension Note will fund extension deposit of lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 until April 29, 2026.
On April 28, 2026, the Company had an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “Fourth Extension Meeting”) to vote on another amendment to its articles to extend the deadline by which it has to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2026 to April 29, 2027 (the “Fourth Extension”). In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment at the extraordinary general meeting, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1,200,000 (the “Fourth Extension Note”). The Fourth Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by April 29, 2027, the Fourth Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. The Sponsor determined to increase the monthly amount that it or its designee would deposit into the Trust Account as a loan in connection with the Extension Amendment from (a) an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.05 per Class A Ordinary Share held by public shareholders (“public shares”) multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding, and (ii) $75,000, to (b) $100,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2026, and ending on the earlier of the Company’s liquidation or April 29, 2027.
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, $3,078,676 and $2,100,000 respectively had been drawn on the Extension Notes.
Following June 30, 2025, the Company made an aggregate deposit of $836,457 (including $6,852 in interest due) in extension contributions to extend the liquidation date through April 29, 2026.
IPO Working Capital Loan
The Sponsor has committed to loan us up to $1,500,000 for working capital loans (as amended and restated, the “IPO Working Capital Loan”). If the Company completes an initial business combination, the Company would repay the IPO Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the IPO Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the IPO Working Capital Loans. The IPO Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such IPO Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post-initial business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant.
On April 1, 2024, the Company amended and restated the IPO Working Capital Loan to extend the maturity date thereunder to the earlier of (i) thirty months after the closing of the Public Offering and (ii) the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company also increased the principal amount from $1,500,000 to $1,840,616.
On April 26, 2024, the Company further amended and restated the IPO Working Capital Loan to extend the maturity date thereunder to the earlier of (i) forty-two months after the closing of the Public Offering and (ii) the consummation of a Business Combination.
In addition, on April 28, 2026, the Company amended and restated its previously issued unsecured amended and restated convertible promissory note with the Sponsor to extend the maturity date thereunder from the earlier of (i) April 29, 2026 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination to the earlier of (i) April 29, 2027 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination. Other existing terms apply.
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company utilized $2,059,076 and $1,381,742 under the IPO Working Capital Loan.

Other Commitments
On March 18 and March 28, 2022, respectively, the Company engaged UBS, the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering, as a placement agent and to serve as financial advisor and capital markets advisor in connection with a specified de-SPAC transaction. Under that arrangement, the Company agreed to pay UBS a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of such transaction in an amount equal to $3,000,000. The letter of intent related to such potential de-SPAC transaction expired on July 1, 2022 and, as such, rendered the engagement letter void and no future accrual or expense thereunder was booked. The engagement letter also provided for up to $25,000 in reimbursable fees to UBS and as of the expiration date of the agreement, there are no reimbursable fees incurred by the Company.
On June 5, 2023, Sio Silica Corporation entered into an engagement letter with UBS and BMO Capital Markets (“BMO” and together with UBS, the “Placement Agents”), pursuant to which the Placement Agents agreed to serve as co-placement agents in connection with a proposed PIPE offering of securities of Sio NewCo in connection with the Sio Business Combination. Pursuant to a separate letter agreement entered into on the same day between the Company and the Placement Agents, the Company agreed that, in the event that the Sio Business Combination is not consummated, it would reimburse the Placement Agents for its reasonable, documented, out of pocket expenses incurred by such Placement Agent in their role as Placement Agents up to an aggregate amount of $300,000.
Non-Redemption Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and Sio Newco entered into a non-redemption agreement with a Pyrophyte shareholder with respect to 100,000 Class A ordinary shares held by such shareholder (the “Non-Redemption SPAC Shares”), pursuant to which, among other things, Pyrophyte agreed to issue 58,570 Class A ordinary shares to such shareholder in consideration of such shareholder’s commitment not to redeem the Non-Redemption SPAC Shares held by it in connection with the approval of the Sio Business Combination by Pyrophyte’s shareholders.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company deposited an aggregate of $836,457 (including $6,852 in interest due) into the Trust Account to extend the liquidation date to April 29, 2026. In addition, the Company drew an aggregate of $$836,457 under the extension loan and $774,899 under the working capital loan, respectively.
On April 25, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to approve an amendment to its Articles extending the deadline to consummate an initial business combination from April 29, 2025 to April 29, 2026. In connection with the meeting, holders of 4,776,757 public shares redeemed their shares for approximately $11.95 per share (or an aggregate of $57.1 million), resulting in approximately $18.1 million remaining in the Trust Account. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed to fund monthly extension contributions of the lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000, beginning April 30, 2025 through the earlier of the completion of a business combination, liquidation, or April 29, 2026, up to an aggregate of $1.5 million, for which the Company issued a $1.5 million promissory note to the Sponsor.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Charter. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
34
Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placements to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted (loss) income per share is the same as basic (loss) income per share for the periods presented.
The Company historically had two classes of ordinary shares -- Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Upon the conversion event in April 2023 to convert the Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, the Company now have redeemable and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the redeemable and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. Net (loss) income per share, basic and diluted for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the pro rata allocation of net (loss) income to redeemable Class A ordinary shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Net (loss) income per share basic and diluted for non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the pro rata allocation of net (loss) income to non-redeemable ordinary shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 by the weighted average number of non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company issued 10,062,500 public warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares to investors in the Company’s Initial Public Offering and simultaneously issued 10,156,250 Private Placement Warrants. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re- measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company initially utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions and inputs used to arrive the fair value of the Public and Private Placement warrants. The subsequent measurements of the public warrants after the detachment of the public warrants from the Units on December 17, 2021 were classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker PHYT.WS. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company’s public warrants were delisted from trading. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of public warrants was value using the listed price on an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market which is considered to be Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants were measured by reference to the trading price of the public warrants which is also considered level 2 fair value instrument.
Both the First Extension Note and the IPO Working Capital Loan (together, the “Promissory Notes”), contain a conversion feature, for which upon maturity, the outstanding principal of the Promissory Notes, at the option of the Sponsor, may be converted into warrants identical to the Private Placement capital warrants. The Company determined that the conversion option should be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815. As of June 30, 2025, although the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exceeded the exercise price of the underlying warrants. In estimating the fair value of the conversion option, the Company considered, among other factors, the probability of an initial business combination and the likelihood of the Sponsor electing to convert the Promissory Notes into warrants. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the probability of conversion was de minimis despite the warrants being in-the-money. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the fair value of the conversion option was immaterial as of June 30, 2025 and, therefore, no liability was recognized for the conversion feature.
35
Cash (Investments) held in Trust Account
The investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in gain on investments held in Trust Account on the statements of income. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
On April 24, 2024, the Company amended the Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee, to hold the assets in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account or cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. On the same day, the Company instructed the Trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and move the funds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with Continental continuing to act as trustee. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.
Recent Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
As an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five (5) years following the completion of our Public Offering or until we otherwise no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.”
Recent Developments
On April 25, 2025, we had our Third Extension Meeting. In addition to voting on the Third Extension, shareholders holding an aggregate of 4,776,757 public shares exercised their right to redeem their shares at a price of approximately $11.95 per share from the funds held in the Trust Account, leaving approximately $18.1 million in cash in the Trust Account after satisfaction of such redemptions. In connection with the Third Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to loan us lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 and ending on the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the date of the our liquidation in accordance with the terms of the Third Extension (the “Third Extension Contribution”), and on April 25, 2025, the Company issued the Third Extension Note to the Sponsor in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with the Second Extension Contributions. The Third Extension Note will fund extension deposit of lesser of (i) $0.05 per Public Share or (ii) $150,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2025 until April 29, 2026.
In addition, on April 25, 2025, the Company amended and restated its Working Capital Convertible Promissory Note with the Sponsor to (a) extend the Maturity Date thereunder from the earlier of (i) April 29, 2025 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination to the earlier of (i) the Extended Date and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination and (b) increase the amount in which the Company may borrow thereunder from $1,840,616 to $2,500,000. The Company may borrow under the Working Capital Convertible Promissory Note for ongoing expenses reasonably related to the business of the Company and the consummation of an initial business combination. The Sponsor will have the option, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert up to $1,500,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Convertible Promissory Note into warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering.
36
In addition, in connection with the approval of the Third Extension at the Extraordinary Meeting, on April 25, 2025, the Company amended its Trust Agreement to clarify that if the Sponsor fails to make a Third Extension Contribution within 45 days after the date in which a Third Extension Contribution was required to be deposited into the Trust Account, then Continental will be entitled to liquidate the Trust Account and distribute the proceeds thereof to the public shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.
On April 28, 2026, the Company had an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders (the “Fourth Extension Meeting”) to vote on another amendment to its articles to extend the deadline by which it has to complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2026 to April 29, 2027 (the “Fourth Extension”). In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment at the extraordinary general meeting, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1,200,000 (the “Fourth Extension Note”). The Fourth Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by April 29, 2027, the Fourth Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
In addition, on April 28, 2026, the Company amended and restated its previously issued unsecured amended and restated convertible promissory note with the Sponsor to extend the maturity date thereunder from the earlier of (i) April 29, 2026 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination to the earlier of (i) April 29, 2027 and (ii) the effective date of an initial business combination. Other existing terms apply. The Sponsor determined to increase the monthly amount that it or its designee would deposit into the Trust Account as a loan in connection with the Extension Amendment from (a) an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.05 per Class A Ordinary Share held by public shareholders (“public shares”) multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding, and (ii) $75,000, to (b) $100,000 for each calendar month beginning on April 30, 2026, and ending on the earlier of the Company’s liquidation or April 29, 2027.
