Founder Shares

On December 3, 2024, the Prior Sponsor made capital contributions of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s expenses, for which the Company issued 5,750,000 Founder Shares to the Prior Sponsor. On June 9, 2025, the Company, through a share capitalization, issued the Prior Sponsor an additional 575,000 Founder Shares, resulting in the Prior Sponsor holding 6,325,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate. On November 25, 2025, the New Sponsor purchased from the Prior Sponsor 6,325,000 Founder Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.

The Promissory Note was repaid in full in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note is no longer available as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note, respectively, and the Promissory Note is no longer available for draw down.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on June 11, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Prior Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation, the Company ceased paying the $10,000 per month fee. The Company incurred administrative service fees of $0 and $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and $0 and $36,333 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

The advisory fee is effective as of December 2025 and will continue on a monthly basis until the earlier of (i) the closing and completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the liquidation of the Company.

Due to Related Party

Prior to the drawdown of the Working Capital Note on March 23, 2026, YA II PN, Ltd., an affiliate of the New Sponsor (the “Affiliate”), paid for certain expenses on behalf of the Company, amounting to $259,017 in the aggregate. $250,371 was repaid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, resulting in a due to related party balance of $8,646 as of September 30, 2026. The amount due to the Affiliate is not a drawdown on the Working Capital Loan, it is non-interest bearing, and is due on demand.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the New Sponsor or an affiliate of the New Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required on a non-interest basis (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use amounts held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

On January 26, 2026, the Company issued the Working Capital Note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 to the New Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Note, the principal balance does not accrue interest, is payable on the earlier of the date on which we consummate an initial Business Combination or the date that the Company’s winding up is effective, and is convertible at the New Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination into units identical to the Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On March 23, 2026, the Company drew $500,000 under the Working Capital Note.

On August 11, 2026, the Company and the New Sponsor amended and restated the Working Capital Note to increase the aggregate principal balance from $500,000 to $750,000 (the “Amended Working Capital Note”). The terms of the Amended Working Capital Note otherwise remain unchanged. On August 11, 2026, the Company drew an additional $250,000 under the Amended Working Capital Note. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $750,000 and $0 was outstanding under the Amended Working Capital Note, respectively.
