Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Quartzsea”) is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability on November 5, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a 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 May 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from November 5, 2024 (inception) through May 31, 2026, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to completing the initial public offering (“IPO”) and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and sale of Private Placement Units (as defined below). The Company has selected November 30 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Blue Jay Investment LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company.
The registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on March 14, 2025. On March 19, 2025, the Company consummated its IPO of units (the “Public Units”), including the full exercise of the over-allotment option of Units granted to the underwriters. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $82,800,000. Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor units at $ per unit (the “Private Units”) in a private placement generating total gross proceeds of $2,319,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $4,361,752 consisting of $3,898,500 of underwriting commissions, $586,500 of which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and $463,252 of legal and other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $1,245,878 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that at least $ per public share underlying Units sold in the IPO will be held into a U.S.-based trust account (“Trust Account”). The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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 of 1940 and which invest solely in U.S. Treasuries. The Trust Fund will be deposited into the Trust Account in the U.S. to be released only in the event of either: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time.
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 shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a 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 for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). The Public Shares subject to redemption was recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO on March 19, 2025 in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Shareholders”) and the underwriters have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares (as defined in Note 4), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (other than Public Shares purchased outside of a redemption offer which may not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act and any SEC interpretations or guidance relating thereto) in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Initial Shareholders have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares, and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company initially has 15 months from the consummation of the IPO, or June 19, 2026, to consummate its initial business combination (“Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
On June 23, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting at which its shareholders approved, among other things, an amendment to the Existing Charter extending the date by which Quartzsea must consummate an initial business combination from June 19, 2026 to October 19, 2026 on a monthly basis by depositing an amount equal to lesser of (i) $175,000 or (ii) $ per outstanding public share. In connection with the extraordinary general meeting, holders of 1,275,382 Quartzsea ordinary shares properly exercised their redemption rights. Such shares were redeemed at a price of approximately $ per share, for an aggregate redemption payment of $13,391,956 from the trust account. Following the redemptions, Quartzsea ordinary shares were issued and outstanding, and $73,550,934 remained on deposit in the trust account.
The Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares, and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or the other Initial Shareholders acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $ per public share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
Subsidiaries
On May 20, 2025, Cuisine Universal Packaging Solution, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Quartzsea (the “Purchaser”), was formed to be the surviving company after the merger of a contemplated business combination. On May 7, 2026, the Purchaser changed its name to “Eight Directions Global Limited”.
On May 21, 2025, CUPS Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser was formed to be the Merger Sub in connection with a contemplated business combination.

As of May 31, 2026, the Sponsor received $500,000 under such arrangement and funded approximately $174,000 Quartzsea’s transaction expenses.
On March 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Termination, Settlement and Mutual General Release Agreement with Broadway Tech, pursuant to which the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were terminated in their entirety, effective as of March 17, 2026. The termination agreement provides for mutual releases of claims relating to the Merger Agreement and the proposed transaction. The parties entered into the termination agreement due to the prolonged China Securities Regulatory Commission approval process and related PRC regulatory uncertainty. No termination fees were payable by either party in connection with the termination.
New Merger Agreement with Eight Directions
Quartzsea has entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 13, 2026 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “New Merger Agreement”), which provides for a Business Combination involving Quartzsea and Eight Directions Technology Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Eight Directions”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, and PubCo Charter Proposal by the shareholders of Quartzsea, Quartzsea will merge with and into Eight Directions Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Quartzsea (“PubCo”), with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “SPAC Merger”); (ii) concurrently with the SPAC Merger, CUPS Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of the PubCo (“Merger Sub”), will be merged with and into Eight Directions, with Eight Directions and its subsidiaries surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”).
The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition Merger is $, payable in the form of newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Closing Payment Shares”) valued at $10.00 per share to Eight Directions and its shareholders. At the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the issued and outstanding shares in Eight Directions held by the former Eight Directions shareholders will be cancelled and cease to exist, in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares. At the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the one fully paid share in Merger Sub held by PubCo will become one fully paid share in the surviving corporation, so that Eight Directions will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, ordinary shares of PubCo will be reclassified into class A ordinary shares (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and class B ordinary shares (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares,” together with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, collectively “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) where each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the post-Business Combination company and each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to ten (10) votes on all matters subject to vote at all general meetings of the post-Business Combination company. At the closing of the Business Combination, the former Quartzsea shareholders will receive one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share for each Quartzsea Ordinary Share and one-fifth (1/5) of one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share for each Quartzsea Right, and the former shareholders of Eight Directions will receive an aggregate of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Share.
Pursuant to the New Merger Agreement, Eight Directions agreed to provide Blue Jay Investment LLC, the sponsor of Quartzsea, a working capital loan of $300,000 in exchange for promissory note issued by the sponsor. As of May 31, 2026, the Sponsor received $200,000 under such arrangement and has not funded Quartzsea’s transaction expenses.
Additionally, Eight Directions is responsible for funding all extension contributions required in connection with any extension of Quartzsea’s deadline to consummate an initial business combination. In accordance with such obligation, Eight Directions remits each applicable extension contribution to Quartzsea’s Trust Account, following which Quartzsea causes the applicable payment to be made in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The first extension contribution of $175,000 was funded by Eight Directions and deposited into the trust account on June 25, 2026.
Termination
The New Merger Agreement contains customary termination provisions and may be terminated by either party under specified circumstances, including by mutual written consent, the failure to satisfy certain closing conditions, the occurrence of a material adverse effect, the failure to obtain required regulatory approvals despite commercially reasonable efforts, specified delays in consummating the transaction, or an uncured material breach by the other party following the applicable cure period.
Under certain circumstances involving an uncured material breach by either party, the non-breaching party may be entitled to receive a termination fee of $500,000. No termination fee is payable if the New Merger Agreement is terminated due to specified events outside the parties’ reasonable control, including the failure to obtain required regulatory approvals despite commercially reasonable efforts or other circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement.
Related Agreements
In connection with the execution of the New Merger Agreement, the parties entered into the following related agreements:
Going Concern Consideration
As of May 31, 2026, the Company had $5,156 of cash and a working capital deficit of $1,035,078. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination.
Subsequent to May 31, 2026, on June 23, 2026, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s governing documents and Investment Management Trust Agreement to extend the deadline to consummate an initial business combination from June 19, 2026 to October 19, 2026, with the ability to extend such deadline on a month-to-month basis for up to four additional one-month periods. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline, it will be required to cease operations and liquidate in accordance with its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, management evaluated whether conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management concluded that, due to the Company’s liquidity condition and requirement to complete a business combination within the prescribed period to avoid liquidation, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
