PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated on June 18, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry. To date, our efforts have been limited to (i) organizational activities, (ii) activities related to the Initial Public Offering, and (iii) subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, searching for a Business Combination target. As of the date of this Report, we have not selected any Business Combination target. We have generated no operating revenues to date, and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial Business Combination.

  

Initial Public Offering

 

Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on October 31, 2025. On November 4, 2024, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Public Units, including 2,250,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $172,500,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $6,483,750. Of those 648,375 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 484,500 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 163,875 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one-half of one Private Placement Warrant, with each whole Private Placement Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.

 

A total of $173,362,500, comprised of $169,000,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and $4,362,500 of the proceeds from the Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee.

 

It is the job of our Sponsor and Management Team to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Management Team is led by (i) Anthony James Vinciquerra, the Chairman of our Board, (ii) Thomas Bushey, our Chief Executive Officer and (iii) Jake Gudoian, our Chief Financial Officer, who have many years of experience in identifying, acquiring, investing in and operating businesses, and providing depth of knowledge in capital markets. We must complete our initial Business Combination by (i) November 4, 2026, the end of our Combination Period, which is 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, (ii) such earlier liquidation date as our Board may approve or (iii) such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles . If our initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, our existence will terminate, and we will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account as described elsewhere in this Report.

 

We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.

Our Management Team

 

We seek to capitalize on the experience of our Management Team in consummating an initial Business Combination.

 

Members of our Management Team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial Business Combination. The amount of time that any members of our Management Team devotes in any time period varies based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial Business Combination and the current stage of the Business Combination process.

 

We believe our Management Team’s investment, operating and transaction experience and relationships with companies will provide us with a number of potential Business Combination targets. Over the course of their careers, the members of our Management Team have developed a network of contacts and corporate relationships. However, our Management Team’s network of contacts and corporate relationships and investment, operating and transaction experience do not guarantee a successful initial Business Combination. There is no guarantee that our current officers and directors will continue in their respective roles, or in any other role, after our initial Business Combination, and their expertise may only be of benefit to us until our initial Business Combination is completed.

 

Past performance of our Management Team is not a guarantee either (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial Business Combination or (ii) of success with respect to any Business Combination we may consummate. Our shareholders should not rely on the historical performance record of our Management Team as indicative of our future performance. Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest with other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations with respect to initial Business Combination opportunities.

 

Our Business Strategy and Competitive Strengths

 

We are focusing our search for an initial Business Combination with private companies that have compelling unit economics. Our selection process leverages a set of relationships with proven deal-sourcing capabilities to provide us with a pipeline of potential targets. We expect to distinguish ourselves with our ability to:

 

Leverage our Network of Relationships to Create a Pipeline of Acquisition OpportunitiesWe believe the combination of our officers’ and directors’ investment and operating experience in addition to our ability to access a network of public and private enterprises, experienced operators, restructuring advisors, attorneys, accountants, family offices, hedge funds, and private equity firms enables us to identify and evaluate compelling target businesses. Our officers and directors all remain active in identifying special opportunities and situations where there are clear catalysts for value transformation, solid growth trajectory and ability to scale beyond the domestic market.

 

Employ a Rigorous Systematic Process of Identifying Target Companies and Acquiring a Business that will Be Well-Received by the Public Markets. We believe that our Management’s transactional and investment track record in both private and public markets, combined with public market trading experience, provides an advantage for identifying, valuing and completing a Business Combination that meets our investors’ expectations.

 

Provide an Alternative Path to Becoming Public.    We believe our structure makes us an attractive Business Combination partner to prospective target businesses that desire to become a publicly listed company. A merger with us will offer a target business an alternative path to a public listing, rather than the traditional initial public offering process. We believe that target businesses may favor this alternative, which we believe is less expensive, while offering greater certainty of execution than the traditional initial public offering. Furthermore, once a proposed Business Combination is approved by our shareholders and the transaction is consummated, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better aligned with shareholders’ interests than it would as a private company. A public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented Management.

Offer Solid Execution and Structuring Capability. We believe that our Management Team’s and Sponsor’s combined industry expertise and reputation allows them to source and complete transactions possessing structural attributes that create an attractive investment thesis. These types of transactions are typically complex and require creativity, industry knowledge and expertise, rigorous due diligence, and extensive negotiations and documentation. We believe that by focusing our investment activities on these types of transactions, we are able to generate investment opportunities that have attractive risk/reward profiles based on their valuations and structural characteristics.

 

Build and Operate Successful Multi-Billion Dollar Companies. Our Management Team and Board have experience building and operating multibillion-dollar companies and we believe they have the ability to identify attractive candidates for our initial Business Combination. A distinguishing factor for our organization is the potential for any of our Management Team to remain involved in an operating or board capacity of the newly public company post transaction. Our Management Team has experience fostering relationships with sellers, capital providers and target management teams. Our Management Team also has experience integrating businesses acquired in mergers and acquisitions, and are capable of growing a business organically or inorganically if needed.

 

Strong and Stable Financial Position with Flexibility. With funds in the Trust Account of approximately $181,847,374 (as of December 31, 2025, before taxes payable, if any) available to use for a Business Combination, we offer a target business a variety of options such as providing the owners of a target business with shares in a public company and a public means to sell such shares, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to consummate our initial Business Combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.

 

Acquisition Criteria

 

We have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. We use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities, but we may decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. We intend to acquire one or more businesses that we believe has the following characteristics:

 

Benefits from a Public Currency and Access to Public Equity Markets. We are looking for a company with access to the public equity markets could allow the target company to utilize additional forms of capital, enhancing its ability to pursue accretive acquisitions, high-return capital projects, and/or strengthen its balance sheet and recruit and retain key employees through the use of publicly-traded equity compensation.

 

Has a Strong Competitive Position and Growing Platform. We seek to acquire companies that we believe possess not only established business models and sustainable competitive advantages, but also a growing platform for equity investors.

 

Has an Ability to Scale Beyond Domestic Market. We are looking for a company with a product or platform that can be relevant internationally. We are aiming to replicate the competitive advantages within new markets as we assist the company expand.

 

Operated by a Talented and Incentivized Management Team. We are focusing on companies with strong and experienced management teams that desire a significant equity stake in the post-Business Combination company. We seek to partner with a management team and/or sellers who are well-incentivized and aligned in an effort to create shareholder value.

Benefits from Our Ability to Structure Transaction to Unlock and Maximize Value. We are looking for situations where our extensive experience and creativity can architect a win-win solution for both sides of the transaction.

 

Has Revenue and Earnings Growth Potential. We are seeking to acquire one or more businesses that have multiple, diverse potential drivers of revenue and earnings growth.

 

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial Business Combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines, as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our Management Team may deem relevant. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our shareholder communications related to our initial Business Combination, which, as discussed in this Report, would be in the form of tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials that we would file with the SEC.

 

Sponsor Information

 

Our Sponsor, Newbury Street II Acquisition Sponsor LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed to invest in our Company. Although our Sponsor is permitted to undertake any activities permitted under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and other applicable law, our Sponsor’s business is focused on investing in our Company. Thomas Bushey, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors is the managing member of the Sponsor. Mr. Bushey controls the management of our Sponsor, including the exercise of voting and investment discretion over the securities of our Company held by our Sponsor. As manager of our Sponsor, Mr. Bushey beneficially owns membership interests in our Sponsor, which represent approximately 100% of the economic interests in our Sponsor.

 

Our independent directors have received for their services as a director an indirect interest in the Founder Shares through membership interests in our Sponsor. Other than our Management Team, none of the other members of our Sponsor participate in our Company’s activities.

 

Because our Sponsor acquired the Founder Shares at a nominal price, our Public Shareholders incurred an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the Public Warrants. Further, the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the Founder Shares may result in material dilution to our Public Shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of our Founder Shares that may result in an issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution. In addition, the cashless exercise of the Warrants would further increase the dilution to our Public Shareholders.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, each of our Sponsor, directors and officers has agreed to restrictions on their ability to transfer, assign, or sell the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units (and the underlying securities). The Letter Agreement also provides that the Sponsor and each director and officer agree to vote any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares they may own in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination if we seek shareholder approval for such Business Combination and in favor of any proposals recommended by our Board of Directors in connection with such Business Combination (except with respect to any such Public Shares that 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). Further, our Sponsor, directors and officers also agreed not to redeem any Public Shares they may hold in connection with such shareholder approval. The Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived, except by a written instrument executed by (i) us, (ii) our Sponsor and (iii) each of directors and officers. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement requires the written consent of BTIG for any amendment to the Letter Agreement and the provision of the Underwriting Agreement that provides that for a period of 180 days from the date of the Initial Public Offering prospectus, none of us, our Sponsor or our directors or officers will, without the prior written consent of BTIG, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, Units, Warrants, Class A Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions.

While we do not expect our Board to approve any amendment to the Letter Agreement prior to our initial Business Combination, it may be possible that our Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the Letter Agreement. Any such amendments to the Letter Agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities.

 

In addition, in order to facilitate our initial Business Combination or for any other reason determined by our Sponsor in its sole discretion, our Sponsor may surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our Founder Shares, Private Placement Units or any of our other securities, including for no consideration, as well as subject any such securities to earn-outs or other restrictions, or otherwise amend the terms of any such securities or enter into any other arrangements with respect to any such securities.

 

Effecting our Initial Business Combination

 

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time until the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

 

To the extent we effect our Business Combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our Management Team endeavors to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure our shareholders that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors. In evaluating a prospective target business, we conduct a thorough due diligence review, which encompasses, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information that is made available to us. If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the Business Combination transaction.

 

We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial Business Combination. Subject to this requirement, our Management Team will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial Business Combination solely with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

 

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial Business Combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our Business Combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another Business Combination. We will not pay any consulting fees to members of our Management Team, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with our initial Business Combination.

 

We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, offerings of equity securities, debt or a combination of cash, equity securities and debt. We may seek to complete our initial Business Combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.

 

We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, and we may effectuate our initial Business Combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the Trust Account.

 

If our initial Business Combination is paid for using equity or debt, or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our Business Combination or used for redemptions of our Class A Ordinary Shares, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial Business Combination, to fund the purchase of other businesses or assets or for working capital.

 

5

 

 

In the case of an initial Business Combination funded with assets other than the Trust Account assets, our tender offer documents or proxy materials disclosing the Business Combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by applicable law, we would seek shareholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to issue securities or incur debt in connection with our initial Business Combination. We are not currently a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of securities, the incurrence of debt or otherwise.

 

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our Amended and Restated Articles) with our Sponsor, directors or officers, or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, directors or officers. In the event we seek to complete our initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, directors or officers, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial Business Combination is fair to us from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

 

Our Sponsor and its members and members of our Management Team directly or indirectly own Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial Business Combination. Further, each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a Business Combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a Business Combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our Amended and Restated Articles provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer, among other persons, shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which (a) may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other or (b) the presentation of which would breach an existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other entity. However, based on the existing relationships of our Sponsor, directors and officers, their level of financial investment in us and the potential loss of such investment if no Business Combination is consummated, the fact that we may consummate a Business Combination with a target in any sector, and that the type of transaction that we would target would be of a nature substantially different than what they would target, we do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.

 

Potential Additional Financings

 

Should we seek to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our Public Shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Further, as described above, due to the anti-dilution rights of our Founder Shares, our Public Shareholders may incur material dilution. In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by Public Shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial Business Combination. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds through (i) the issuance of (x) equity or (y) any securities of our Company that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, equity securities of our Company, including any private placement of equity or debt, or (ii) loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of our Initial Business Combination

 

The Nasdaq Rules require that our initial Business Combination must be with one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the Deferred Fee and taxes payable, if any) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination (the “80% Test”).

 

We anticipate structuring our initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which our Public Shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders, or for other reasons. However, we 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 is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the Business Combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new Ordinary Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% Test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% Test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the transactions and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial Business Combination for seeking shareholder approval or for purposes of a tender offer, as applicable.

 

The fair market value of the target or targets will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as discounted cash flow valuation or value of comparable businesses. If our Board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that our initial Business Combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.

 

Status as a Public Company

 

We believe our structure makes us an attractive Business Combination partner to target businesses. As an existing public company, we offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other Business Combination with us. In a Business Combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock, shares or other equity interests in the target business for our Class A Ordinary Shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our Class A Ordinary Shares and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers. Although there are various costs and obligations associated with being a public company, we believe target businesses will find this method a more certain and cost-effective method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical Business Combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, that may not be present to the same extent in connection with a Business Combination with us.

 

7

 

 

Furthermore, once a proposed Business Combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay or prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Once public, we believe the target business would then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with shareholders’ interests and the ability to use its equity as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.

 

While we believe that our structure and our Management Team’s backgrounds make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view our status as a blank check company, our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder approval of any proposed initial Business Combination, negatively.

 

Financial Position

 

With funds available for a Business Combination from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in the amount of $181,847,374 as of December 31, 2025 (not including amounts held outside of the Trust Account for working capital), assuming no redemptions and before payment of the Deferred Fee, taxes payable, if any, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial Business Combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.

 

Lack of Business Diversification

 

For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial Business Combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete Business Combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. In addition, we are focusing our search for an initial Business Combination in a single industry. By completing our initial Business Combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

 

subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial Business Combination, and

 

cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team

 

Although we closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our Business Combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our Management Team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our Management Team will remain with the combined company will be made in connection with our initial Business Combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our Business Combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our Business Combination. Moreover, we cannot assure our shareholders that members of our Management Team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business. We cannot assure our shareholders that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial Business Combination.

 

Following a Business Combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure our shareholders that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

 

Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve our Initial Business Combination

 

We may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.

 

So long as we maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, shareholder approval would be required for our initial Business Combination if, for example:

 

we issue Class A Ordinary Shares that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding (other than in a public offering);

 

any of our directors, officers or substantial security holders (as defined by the Nasdaq Rules) has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares) could result in an increase in outstanding Ordinary Shares or voting power of 5% or more; or

 

the issuance or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares will result in our undergoing a change of control.

 

The Companies Act and Cayman Islands law do not currently require, and we are not aware of any other applicable law that will require, shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination.

 

The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination in those instances in which shareholder approval is not required by law will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on business and reasons, which include a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

 

the timing of the transaction, including in the event we determine shareholder approval would require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek shareholder approval or doing so would place our Company at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other additional burdens on our Company;

 

the expected cost of holding a shareholder vote;

 

the risk that our shareholders would fail to approve the proposed Business Combination;

 

other time and budget constraints of our Company; and

 

additional legal complexities of a proposed Business Combination that would be time consuming and burdensome to present to our shareholders.

Permitted Purchases and Other Transactions With Respect to our Securities

 

In the event we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial Business Combination. There is no limit on the number of securities such persons may purchase. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of our initial Business Combination or not redeem their Public Shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. In the event our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates determine to undertake any such transactions, such transactions could have the effect of influencing the vote necessary to approve such transaction. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in such transactions. They will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such Public Shareholder, although still the record holder of our Public Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. We have adopted the Insider Trading Policy that requires insiders to (i) refrain from purchasing securities during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) clear certain trades prior to execution. We cannot currently determine whether our insiders will make such purchases pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, as it will be dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to, the timing and size of such purchases. Depending on such circumstances, our insiders may either make such purchases pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or determine that such a plan is not necessary.

 

In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights or submitted a proxy to vote against our initial Business Combination, such selling Public Shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares and any proxy to vote against our initial Business Combination. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will be required to comply with such rules.

 

The purpose of such transaction could be to (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, (ii) reduce the number of Public Warrants outstanding or vote such Public Warrants on any matters submitted to the Public Warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial Business Combination or (iii) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial Business Combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the completion of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. To the extent such securities are purchased, such public securities will not be voted as required by Tender Offers and Schedules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 166.01 promulgated by the SEC.

 

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

 

10

 

 

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and/or any of their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the Public Shareholders with whom our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the Public Shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by Public Shareholders following our mailing of tender offer or proxy materials in connection with our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates enter into a private transaction, they would identify and contact only potential selling or redeeming Public Shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial Business Combination. Such persons would select the Public Shareholders from whom to acquire Public Shares based on the number of Public Shares available, the negotiated price per Public Share and such other factors as any such person may deem relevant at the time of purchase. The price per Public Share paid in any such transaction may be different than the amount per Public Share a Public Shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its Public Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates will be restricted from purchasing Public Shares if such purchases do not comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.

 

Any purchases by our Sponsor, directors, officers and/or any of their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will be restricted unless such purchases are made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our Sponsor, directors, officers and/or any of their affiliates will be restricted from making purchases of Ordinary Shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

 

Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination

 

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, our initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. At the completion of our initial Business Combination, we will be required to purchase any Ordinary Shares properly delivered for redemption and not withdrawn. The amount in the Trust Account was $10.54 per Public Share as of December 31, 2025 (before taxes payable, if any). The per-share amount we will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the Deferred Fee we will pay to the Underwriter. The redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its Public Shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial Business Combination with respect to our Public Warrants.

 

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination.

 

Manner of Conducting Redemptions

 

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, our initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our Company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or seek to amend our Amended and Restated Articles would typically require shareholder approval. We intend to conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we choose to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.

 

11

 

 

If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote to approve our initial Business Combination for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles:

 

conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers; and

 

file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.

 

Upon the public announcement of our initial Business Combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we and our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Public Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

 

In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial Business Combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than we are permitted to redeem, as may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial Business Combination. If Public Shareholders tender more Public Shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial Business Combination.

 

If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles:

 

conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and

 

file proxy materials with the SEC.

 

In the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial Business Combination.

 

Our initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of our Board of Directors, and a majority of our independent directors.

 

If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only if we receive approval of an Ordinary Resolution. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders of at least one third of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Our Sponsor, officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial Business Combination. For purposes of seeking approval of an Ordinary Resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial Business Combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, in addition to the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and Representative Shares, we would need 5,191,813 or 30.01%, of the 17,250,000 Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to have our initial Business Combination approved, assuming all outstanding Ordinary Shares are voted and the parties to the Letter Agreement do not acquire any Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

12

 

 

However, if our initial Business Combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, the approval of our initial Business Combination will require a Special Resolution. In addition, prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). The quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our Sponsor, officers and directors, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial Business Combination. Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.

 

Redemptions of our Public Shares may be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to our initial Business Combination. For example, the proposed Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners; (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes; or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares, and all Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

 

Limitation on Redemptions Upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Amended and Restated Articles provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), are restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Excess Shares”), without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage Public Shareholders from accumulating large blocks of Public Shares, and subsequent attempts by such Public Shareholders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed Business Combination as a means to force us, our Sponsor or its affiliates to purchase their Public Shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such Public Shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or its affiliates at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our Public Shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the Public Shares, we believe we are limiting the ability of a small group of Public Shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, particularly in connection with a Business Combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we will not be restricting our Public Shareholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial Business Combination.

 

Tendering Share Certificates in Connection with a Tender Offer or Redemption Rights

 

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their Public Shares in “street name,” will be required to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents (as applicable) mailed to such Public Shareholders, or up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination (or any later date determined by our Board of Directors) in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their Public Shares to the transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, at the Public Shareholder’s option. The proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents (as applicable) that we will furnish to our Public Shareholders in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate the applicable delivery requirements. Accordingly, a Public Shareholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the Business Combination if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its Public Shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Given the relatively short period in which to exercise redemption rights, it is advisable for Public Shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.

 

13

 

 

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the Public Shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee of approximately $100.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming Public Shareholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their Public Shares. The need to deliver Public Shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

 

Any request to redeem such Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, unless otherwise agreed to by us.

 

Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such Public Shareholder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to our Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our Business Combination.

 

If our initial Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares.

 

If our initial proposed Business Combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a Business Combination until the end of the Combination Period, or until such earlier liquidation date as our Board of Directors may approve, to consummate an initial Business Combination.

 

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles provide that we have until the end of the Combination Period to complete our initial Business Combination. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within such Combination Period, 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if our Sponsor acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

14

 

 

Our Sponsor, our directors and officers have also agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or (ii)  any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, in each case unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

 

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $772,506 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of December 31, 2025), although we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

 

Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our Management Team will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if our Management Team believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by our Management Team to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where we are unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial Business Combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption.

 

Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the Trust Account assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. We have not independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our Company and, therefore, our Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our other officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

 

15

 

 

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the Trust Account assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce their respective indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure our shareholders that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be substantially less than the Redemption Price.

 

We seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all (i) vendors, (ii) service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), (iii) prospective target businesses and (iv) other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We had $772,506 from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, as of December 31, 2025, with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

 

If we file a winding-up or bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders we will be able to return $10.54 as of December 31, 2025, per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a winding-up or bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by Public Shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable preference. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our Public Shareholders. Furthermore, our Board of Directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our Company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure our shareholders that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

 

Our Public Shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Public Shares that such Public Shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Articles (x) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (y) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of our Public Shares if we have not completed an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. Holders of Warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Warrants.

 

Competition

 

We encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more local industry knowledge than we do, and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we can potentially acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, in the event we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, and we are obligated to pay cash for our Class A Ordinary Shares, it will potentially reduce the resources available to us for our initial Business Combination. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a Business Combination.

 

16

 

 

Employees

 

We currently have two officers and do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. Members of our Management Team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial Business Combination. The amount of time that any such person devotes in any time period to our Company varies based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial Business Combination and the current stage of the Business Combination process.

 

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

 

We have registered our Public Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC.  In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports, including this Report, contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accounting firm. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination.

 

We will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents (as applicable) sent to shareholders. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with GAAP, or reconciled to, GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

 

We cannot assure our shareholders that any particular target business identified by us as a potential acquisition candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that any applicable requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential acquisition candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.

 

We are required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.

  

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 30 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our Ordinary Shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividends or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.

 

17

 

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to continue to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 4, 2029, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to SEC rules from time to time), or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of the prior June 30th or (ii) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior June 30th.

 

In addition, prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on (i) the appointment or removal of directors and (ii) an amendment to continue our existence in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands. As a result, Nasdaq considers us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under Nasdaq corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the appointment of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, but may do so in the future. Accordingly, if we choose to do so, our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

 

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, the following is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us and our operations:

 

Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination

 

we are a blank check company with no operating history and no operating revenues, and our shareholders have a limited basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, completing an initial Business Combination;

 

18

 

 

we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, in which case we would liquidate and redeem our Public Shares;

 

we may seek Business Combination opportunities with a high degree of complexity that require significant operational improvements, which could delay or prevent us from achieving our desired results;

 

we may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular Business Combination;

 

we may issue our Ordinary Shares to investors in connection with our initial Business Combination at a price that is less than the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares at that time;

 

  our Public Shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial Business Combination, and even if we hold a vote, holders of our Founder Shares will participate in such vote, which means we may complete our initial Business Combination even though a majority of our Public Shareholders do not support such a combination;

 

as the number of SPACs evaluating targets increases, attractive targets may become scarcer and there may be more competition for attractive targets, or such attractive targets may not be interested in consummating a Business Combination with a SPAC due to a negative public perception of mergers involving SPACs. This could increase the cost of our initial Business Combination and could even result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

  we may attempt to simultaneously complete Business Combinations with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to complete our initial Business Combination and give rise to increased costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations and profitability;

 

  we may engage the Underwriter or one of its affiliates to provide additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, which may include acting as mergers and acquisitions advisor in connection with an initial Business Combination or as placement agent in connection with a related financing transaction. The Underwriter is entitled to receive the Deferred Fee that will be released from the Trust Account only upon completion of an initial Business Combination. These financial incentives may cause the Underwriter to have potential conflicts of interest in rendering any such additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, including, for example, in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial Business Combination;

 

  we may attempt to complete our initial Business Combination with a private company about which little information is available, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all;

 

  resources could be wasted on researching Business Combinations targets that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our Public Shareholders may receive only the Redemption Price, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our Warrants will expire worthless;

 

  recent fluctuations in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

  military or other conflicts and other disruptions to the equity or debt capital markets, including as a result of inflation in the United States and elsewhere, may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

19

 

 

  changes in laws or regulations (including the adoption of policies by governing administrations), or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations;

 

  certain agreements related to the Initial Public Offering may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval;

 

  changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for an initial Business Combination target or the performance or business prospects of a post-Business Combination company;

 

  adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our Business Combination prospects;

 

  cyber incidents or attacks directed at us or third parties could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss, as well as impact our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

  if we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination;

 

  if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, Management Team have agreed to vote in favor of such initial Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote. As such, under certain circumstances, we may not need any Public Shares in addition to Founder Shares to be voted in favor of our initial Business Combination to approve an initial Business Combination;

 

  our Public Shareholders’ only opportunity to effect their investment decision regarding a potential Business Combination may be limited to the exercise of their right to redeem their Public Shares from us for cash;

 

  the ability of our Public Shareholders to redeem their Public Shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential Business Combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a Business Combination with a target;

 

  the ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Ordinary Shares and the payment of the Deferred Fee may not allow us to complete the most desirable Business Combination or optimize our capital structure, and may materially dilute Public Shareholders’ investment in us;

 

  the ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Ordinary Shares could increase the probability that our initial Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that our Public Shareholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their Public Shares;

 

  the requirement that we complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating a Business Combination and may limit the time we have in which to conduct due diligence on potential Business Combination targets, in particular as we approach the end of the Combination Period, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial Business Combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders;

 

  we may decide not to extend the Combination Period, in which case we would liquidate and redeem our Public Shares, and the Warrants would be worthless;

  if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our Public Shares or Public Warrants;

 

  if a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem their Public Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering their Public Shares, such Public Shares may not be redeemed;

 

  our Public Shareholders will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of other blank check companies subject to Rule 419 of the Securities Act;

 

  if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if a shareholder or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our Class A Ordinary Shares, they may lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 15% of our Class A Ordinary Shares;

 

  because of our limited resources and the significant competition for Business Combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Shareholders, and our Warrants will expire worthless;

 

  if the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not being held in the Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the duration of the Combination Period, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial Business Combination, and we will depend on loans from our Sponsor or Management Team to fund our search and to complete our initial Business Combination;

 

  our search for an initial Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions;

 

  if we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond November 4, 2026, before redemption from our Trust Account;

 

  we may not hold an annual general meeting until after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, which could delay the opportunity for our Public Shareholders to discuss company affairs with Management, and the holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors or continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands until after the consummation of our initial Business Combination;

 

  since only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, Nasdaq considers us to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Rules and, as a result, we may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements;

 

  our Sponsor controls the appointment of our Board of Directors until consummation of our initial Business Combination and holds a substantial interest in us. As a result, it will appoint all of our directors prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination and may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that our Public Shareholders do not support;

 

  because we are neither limited to evaluating a target business in a particular industry sector nor have we selected any target businesses with which to pursue our initial Business Combination, our shareholders are unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations;

 

21

 

 

  we may seek Business Combination opportunities in industries or sectors that may be outside of our Management’s areas of expertise;

 

  although we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial Business Combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial Business Combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines;

 

  we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, and consequently, our shareholders may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view;

 

  we may issue additional Ordinary Shares or preference shares to complete our initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial Business Combination. We may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained therein. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks;

 

  unlike some other similarly structured SPACs, our Sponsor will receive additional Class A Ordinary Shares if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

  we may engage in a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, directors or existing shareholders, which may raise potential conflicts of interest;

 

  we may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a Business Combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our shareholders’ investment in us;

 

  we may only be able to complete one Business Combination with the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business, and which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability;

 

  we do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete our initial Business Combination when a substantial majority of our Public Shareholders do not agree;

 

  the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles that relate to our pre-Business Combination activity (and corresponding provisions governing the release of funds from our Trust Account) may be amended with  a Special Resolution of our shareholders, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other SPACs. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend the Amended and Restated Articles to facilitate the completion of an initial Business Combination that some of our Public Shareholders may not support;

 

  because we must furnish our shareholders with financial statements of our Business Combination target, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial Business Combination with some prospective target businesses;

 

  compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial Business Combination;

 

  there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”;
     
  if our initial Business Combination involves a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States (or any subdivision thereof), the Excise Tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our Ordinary Shares after or in connection with such initial Business Combination;

 

22

 

 

Risks Relating to the Post-Business Combination Company

 

  the share price of the post-Business Combination company may be less than the Redemption Price of our Public Shares;

 

  the officers and directors of an acquisition candidate may resign upon completion of our initial Business Combination. The loss of a Business Combination target’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business;

 

  subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our securities, which could cause our shareholders to lose some or all of their investment;

 

  our Management may not be able to maintain control of a target business after our initial Business Combination. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business;

 

  we may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may affect our initial Business Combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company;

 

  our initial Business Combination and our structure thereafter may not be tax-efficient to our shareholders and Warrant holders. As a result of our Business Combination, our tax obligations may be more complex, burdensome and/or uncertain;

 

Risks Relating to Acquiring or Operating a Business in Foreign Countries

 

  we may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination because such initial Business Combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements, including foreign investment regulations and review by government entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or may be ultimately prohibited;

 

  if we effect our initial Business Combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may adversely affect us;

 

  we may reincorporate in, or transfer by way of continuation to, another jurisdiction, which may result in taxes imposed on our shareholders or Warrant holders;

 

  we may reincorporate in or transfer by way of continuation to another jurisdiction in connection with our initial Business Combination, and the laws of such jurisdiction may govern some or all of our future material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights;

 

  we are subject to changing law and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of non-compliance;

 

  if our Management following our initial Business Combination is unfamiliar with United States securities laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws, which could lead to various regulatory issues;

 

23

 

 

  exchange rate fluctuations and currency policies may cause a target business’ ability to succeed in the international markets to be diminished;

 

  after our initial Business Combination, substantially all of our assets may be located in a foreign country and substantially all of our revenue will be derived from our operations in such country. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in the country in which we operate;

 

Risks Relating to our Management Team

 

  our officers and directors allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial Business Combination;

 

  changes in the market for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination;

 

  we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and officers;

 

  past performance by our Management Team, our advisors and their respective affiliates, including investments and transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in our Company;

 

  we are dependent upon our officers and directors and their loss, or a reduction in the amount of time they can dedicate to our initial Business Combination, could adversely affect our ability to operate;

 

  our ability to successfully effect our initial Business Combination and to be successful thereafter is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following our initial Business Combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business;

 

  the ownership interest of our Sponsor may change, and our Sponsor may divest its ownership interest in us before identifying a Business Combination, which could deprive us of key personnel and advisors;

 

  our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular Business Combination, and a particular Business Combination may be conditioned on the retention or resignation of such key personnel. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our initial Business Combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular Business Combination is the most advantageous;

 

  our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including other blank check companies, and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented;

 

  members of our Management Team have significant experience as founders, board members, officers, executives or employees of other companies. Certain of those persons have been, are currently, or may become, involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including related to those companies or otherwise. This may have an adverse effect on us, which may impede our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

  members of our Management Team and affiliated companies may have been, and may in the future be, involved in civil disputes or governmental investigations unrelated to our business;

 

24

 

 

Risks Relating to our Securities and Shareholder Rights

 

  to mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we will likely receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than we would have had the Trust Account remained as initially invested, such that our Public Shareholders would receive less upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company than what they would have received had the investments not been liquidated;

 

  our Public Shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their Public Shares;

 

  if third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than the Redemption Price;

 

  our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders;

 

  the securities in which we invest the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the interest income available for payment of taxes or reduce the value of the assets held in the Trust Account such that the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than the Redemption Price;

 

  if, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our Public Shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced;

 

  if, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a liquidator or a bankruptcy, insolvency or other court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our Board of Directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our Board of Directors and us to claims of punitive damages;

 

  an active market for our public securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities, and our shareholders may have limited liquidity and trading;

 

  since our Sponsor, directors and officers will lose their entire investment in us if our initial Business Combination is not completed (other than with respect to any Public Shares they may acquire during or after the Initial Public Offering), and because our Sponsor, officers and directors may profit substantially even under circumstances in which our Public Shareholders would experience losses in connection with their investment, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular Business Combination target is appropriate for our initial Business Combination;

 

  the value of the Founder Shares following completion of our initial Business Combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our Public Shares at such time is substantially less than the Redemption Price;

 

25

 

 

  Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions;

 

  our Public Shareholders do not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate their investment, they may be forced to sell their Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss;

 

  our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per Founder Share and, accordingly, our Public Shareholders experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our Class A Ordinary Shares;

 

  the nominal purchase price paid by our Sponsor for the Founder Shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of the Public Shares upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination, and our Sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial Business Combination, even if the Business Combination causes the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to materially decline;

 

  because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited;

 

  after our initial Business Combination, it is possible that a majority of our directors and officers will live outside the United States and all of our assets will be located outside the United States; therefore, shareholders may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights;

 

  provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Class A Ordinary Shares and could entrench Management;

 

  our Amended and Restated Articles provide that the courts of the Cayman Islands will be the exclusive forums for certain disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for complaints against us or our directors, officers or employees;

 

  whether a redemption of Public Shares will be treated as a sale of such Class A Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on a shareholder’s specific facts;

 

  we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of  the Public Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Public Warrant could be decreased, all without shareholder approval;

 

  the Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our Warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our Company;

 

  a provision of the Warrant Agreement may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination;

 

26

 

 

  our Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and make it more difficult to effectuate our initial Business Combination;

 

  because each Unit contains one-half of one Warrant and only a whole Warrant may be exercised, the Units may be worth less than units of other SPACs;

 

  Warrant holders will not be permitted to exercise their Warrants unless we register and qualify the underlying Class A  Ordinary Shares or certain exemptions are available;

 

  holders may only be able to exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if they do so, they will receive fewer Class A Ordinary Shares from such exercise than if they were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash;

 

  holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands;

 

  the grant of registration rights to our Sponsor, BTIG and other holders of our Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities) may make it more difficult to complete our initial Business Combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares;

 

  we may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to our U.S. shareholders; and

 

  we are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

 

For additional risks relating to our operations, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2024 Annual Report, and (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025 and November 14, 2025, respectively. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors, other than as set forth below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

Not applicable.

 

27

 

 

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

 

Although, as a blank check company, we do not have any operations, we are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents. Among other things, the investments in our Trust Account and bank deposits may be vulnerable to such incidents, and we may depend on the digital technologies of third parties. We and third parties may be subject to cybersecurity attacks or security breaches. To the extent that we rely on the technologies of third parties, we depend upon the personnel and the processes of such third parties to protect against cybersecurity incidents, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, our Management Team will report to the Audit Committee and provide updates on the Management Team’s incident response plan for addressing and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As a company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. We have not encountered any cybersecurity incidents since our Initial Public Offering. In addition to our own cybersecurity risks, any proposed Business Combination target may have been subject to, or may in the future be subject to, cybersecurity incidents.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

Our executive offices are located at 121 High Street, Floor 3, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 and our telephone number is (617) 334-2805. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to an affiliate of our Sponsor for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

(a)Market Information

 

Our Public Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants are each traded on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq under the symbols “NTWOU”, “NTWO” and “NTWOW”, respectively. Our Public Units commenced public trading on November 1, 2024, and our Public Shares and Public Warrants commenced separate public trading on December 27, 2024.

 

(b)Holders

 

On March 6, 2026, there were three holders of record of our Units, two holders of record of our Class A Ordinary Shares, one holder of record of our Class B Ordinary Shares, and one holder of record of our Warrants.

 

(c)Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial Business Combination will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors at such time. In addition, our Board of Directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

 

(d)Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

None.

 

(e)Performance Graph

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by Regulation S-K Item 201(e).

 

(f)Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the fiscal year covered by this Report. However, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $6,483,750. Of those 648,375 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 484,500 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 163,875 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

29

 

 

(g)Use of Proceeds

 

There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the fiscal year covered by this Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on December 16, 2024. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.

 

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

 

(h)Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 

There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by the Report.

 

Item 6. [Reserved]

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 18, 2024 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Newbury Street II Acquisition Sponsor LLC.

 

We are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

 

Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on October 31, 2024. On November 4, 2024, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Public Units, including 2,250,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $172,500,000.

 

30

 

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $6,483,750. Of those 648,375 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 484,500 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 163,875 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $173,362,500 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

 

We have until November 4, 2026 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, 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 to pay taxes, if any, 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 our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities related to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $6,620,992, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $7,267,039, interest on the operating account of $42,405 and general and administrative costs of $688,452.

 

31

 

 

For the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $1,042,224, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,217,835 and formation and operating costs of $175,611.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $173,362,500 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred fees of $10,113,129, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $6,037,500 and $625,629 of other offering costs.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $181,847,374 and $174,580,335, respectively (including approximately $8,484,874 and $2,080,335, respectively, of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.

 

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $772,506 and $1,237,201, respectively and a working capital of $748,963 and $1,308,343, respectively. We 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

 

Our liquidity needs through December 31, 2025 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account.

 

IPO Promissory Note

 

Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $213,706 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2024. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.

 

On November 4, 2024, we repaid $25,000 to the Sponsor in excess of the IPO Promissory Note. On September 26, 2025, we paid tax and accounting expenses on behalf of the Sponsor of $7,590. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $32,590 and $25,000, respectively, were due to be repaid to us by the Sponsor.

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

 

Going Concern

 

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 4, 2026. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.

 

Contractual Obligations

  

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as set forth below.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

Commencing on November 1, 2024, and until completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation, we pay an affiliate of our Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $120,000 and $20,000, respectively, in fees for these services. These amounts are paid and included in the general and administrative costs on the statements of operations of the financial statements included elsewhere this Report.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

We granted BTIG a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 Option Units to cover any over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 4, 2024, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment Option in full and purchased the 2,250,000 Option Units at $10.00 per Option Unit.

 

We paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Public Unit offering price to BTIG at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. In addition, BTIG is entitled to an additional fee of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable only upon our completion of the initial Business Combination, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The Deferred Fee will become payable to BTIG from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete an initial Business Combination.

 

33

 

 

Representative Shares

 

We also issued 100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to BTIG in connection with the Initial Public Offering. We accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ deficit. BTIG has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without our prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriting compensation by FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 and are, accordingly, subject to certain transfer restrictions or a period of 180 days beginning at the Initial Public Offering. Furthermore, BTIG agreed (and any of its designees to whom the Representative Shares are issued will agree) (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Representative Shares (iii) the Private Placement Units and (iv) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Letter Agreement

 

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the audited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

 

34

 

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to a company’s 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. ASU 2023-07 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 FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”) in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 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 on July 8, 2024, the date of our incorporation.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

Reference is made to pages F-1 through F-19 comprising a portion of this Report, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company,

 

(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our Management and directors, and

 

(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, Management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

  

This Report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

 

Trading Arrangements

 

During the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Additional Information

 

None.

 

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

 

Not applicable.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

 

Our Board of Directors consists of six members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. Prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors. Our Public Shareholders are not entitled to vote on such matters during such time. This provision of our Amended and Restated Charters relating to these rights of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares may be amended by a Special Resolution. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Ted Seides, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Jennifer Vescio and Josh Gold, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Anthony James Vinciquerra, William Zachre Wyatt and Thomas Bushey will expire at the third annual general meeting.

 

Our officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board of Directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our Amended and Restated Charter it deems appropriate. Our Amended and Restated Charter provides that our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors has established two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Subject to phase-in rules, the Nasdaq Rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board and has the composition and responsibilities described below.

 

Audit Committee

 

We have established the Audit Committee. The members of our Audit Committee are Josh Gold, Jennifer Vescio and Ted Seides. Josh Gold serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Josh Gold qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

 

We have adopted a charter of the Audit Committee, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including:

implementing and overseeing our cybersecurity and information security policies, and periodically reviewing the policies and managing potential cybersecurity incidents.

 

Compensation Committee

 

We have established the Compensation Committee. The members of our Compensation Committee are Jennifer Vescio and Josh Gold. Jennifer Vescio serves as chairperson of the Compensation Committee. We have adopted a charter of the Compensation Committee, which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:

 

  reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

 

  reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to Board approval of all of our other officers;

 

40

 

 

  reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

 

  implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

 

  assisting Management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

 

  approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

 

  producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;

 

  reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and

 

  advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change and perform any other tasks required of it by the Clawback Policy, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule.

 

The charter of the Compensation Committee also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the Nasdaq Rules and the SEC.

 

Director Nominations

 

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or the Nasdaq Rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Vinciquerra, Gold, Seides, Wyatt and Ms. Vescio. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

 

The Board of Directors also considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for appointment to our Board of Directors should follow the procedures set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our Board of Directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors.

 

41

 

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted the Code of Ethics. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules or the Nasdaq Rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.

 

The foregoing description of the Code of Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Code of Ethics, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.

 

Trading Policies

 

On October 22, 2024, we adopted the Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq Rules.

 

The foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

 

None of our directors or officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. Our Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates.

 

After the completion of our initial Business Combination, directors or members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other compensation from the combined company. All compensation will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed Business Combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers after the completion of our initial Business Combination will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.

 

We are not party to any agreements with our directors and officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our Management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our Management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial Business Combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential Business Combination.

 

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy

 

On October 22, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Clawback Policy in order to comply with the SEC Clawback Rule, and the Nasdaq Rules, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. At no time during the fiscal year covered by this Report were we required to prepare an accounting restatement that required recovery of an erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 97.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 6, 2026 based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by:

 

  each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares;

 

  each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and

 

  all our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 24,116,375 Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 17,998,375 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 6,118,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of March 6, 2026. On all matters to be voted upon, except for (x) the appointment and removal of directors to the Board and (y) continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Currently, all of the Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the Private Placement Warrants as these Private Placement Warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Report.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

On June 20, 2024, our Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of our offering and formation costs in exchange for the issuance of 5,750,000 Founder Shares, or approximately $0.004 per share. On July 12, 2024, we issued an additional 368,000 Founder Shares to our Sponsor in a share capitalization resulting in our Sponsor holding a total of 6,118,000 Founder Shares. Up to 798,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. The Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full and such Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

Our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 484,500 Private Placement Units following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,845,000 in the Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement. The Private Placement Units (and underlying shares) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying shares), except as otherwise described in the Report.

 

If any of our directors or officers becomes aware of a Business Combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such Business Combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such Business Combination opportunity to us. Our directors and officers currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.

 

45

 

 

Members of our Management Team and our Board of Directors directly or indirectly own Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Units and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial Business Combination.

 

We have entered into an Administrative Support Agreement with an affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant to which we pay a total of $10,000 per month to such affiliate for certain office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial Business Combination takes 24 months, an affiliate of our Sponsor will be paid a total of $240,000 ($10,000 per month) for certain office space, administrative and support services and also is entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $120,000 and $20,000, respectively, in fees for these services. These amounts are paid and included in the general and administrative costs on the statements of operations of the financial statements included elsewhere this Report.

 

Our Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates and determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that are reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

 

On June 4, 2024, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $213,706 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2024. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.

 

On November 4, 2024, we repaid $25,000 to the Sponsor in excess of the IPO Promissory Note. On September 26, 2025, we paid tax and accounting expenses on behalf of the Sponsor of $7,590. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $32,590 and $25,000, respectively, were due to be repaid to us by the Sponsor.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

 

After our initial Business Combination, members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial Business Combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive officer and director compensation.

 

46

 

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Representative Shares, (iii) the Private Placement Units and (iv) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The Private Placement Warrants may not be exercised more than five years from the date the sales for the Initial Public Offering commenced in compliance with Rule 5110(g)(8)(A).

 

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

 

Director Independence

 

The Nasdaq Rules require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship that in the opinion of its board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Anthony James Vinciquerra, Jennifer Vescio, Josh Gold, Ted Seides and William Zachre Wyatt is an independent director under applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq Rules.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Withum for services rendered.

 

Audit Fees

 

Audit fees consist of the aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Withum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Withum for professional services rendered for the (i) audit of our annual financial statements and (ii) review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 totaled $125,840 and $50,300, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at Audit Committee meetings.

 

Audit-Related Fees

 

Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Withum for any audit-related fees for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.

 

Tax Fees

 

Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. We did not pay Withum for tax services, planning or advice for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.

 

All Other Fees

 

All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for all other services. We did not pay Withum for any other services for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.

 

Pre-Approval Policy

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable complete a business combination by November 4, 2026, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

 

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Organization and General

 

Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on June 18, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”) that the Company has not yet identified. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into a definitive agreement with any specific Business Combination target.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

Sponsor and Initial Financing

 

The Company’s sponsor is Newbury Street II Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 9, 2024, as amended (File No. 333-281456), was declared effective on October 31, 2024 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On November 4, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Public Units”), which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 2,250,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000, which is described in Note 3 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 648,375 units (the “Private Placement Units”, and together with the Public Units, the “Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit to the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriter”), in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $6,483,750, which is described in Note 4 (the “Private Placement”). Of those 648,375 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 484,500 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 163,875 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share (the “Private Placement Shares”) and one-half of one warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”).

 

Transaction costs amounted to $10,113,129, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $6,037,500 (as defined in Note 6), and $625,629 of other offering costs.

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP

The Trust Account

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on November 4, 2024, an amount of $173,362,500 ($10.05 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account are held only in (i) U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in Treasuries obligations, (ii) uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (x) the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (y) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. As of the accompanying balance sheet date, these funds were held in money market accounts.

 

Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the Deferred Fee and taxes payable, if any, on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate a Business Combination.

 

The Company will provide the holders of Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with the Company where it does not survive and any transactions where the Company issues more than 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) or seek to the Company’s amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as currently in effect, the “Amended and Restated Articles”) would typically require shareholder approval. The Company intends to conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing rules, or the Company chooses to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.

 

The Amended and Restated Articles provides that the Company has until November 4, 2026, or such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve to consummate the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete the initial 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 (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable, if any), 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 remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Warrants, which will expire without value to the holder if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

The Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated October 31, 2024 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the Deferred Fee held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

 

The Sponsor, and the Company’s executive officers and directors have also agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles (i) in that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, in each case unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

 

Board and Audit Committee Changes

 

On May 28, 2025, Matthew Hong notified the Board of his resignation as a member and chairman of the Board and a member and chair of the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), effective as of the same day.

 

On May 28, 2025, the Board appointed Anthony James Vinciquerra and William Zachre Wyatt as directors of the Board (the “New Directors”). Effective as of May 28, 2025, Mr. Vinciquerra was appointed as chairman of the Board, Ted Seides, a director of the Company, was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee, and Josh Gold, a director and member of the Audit Committee, was appointed as chair of the Audit Committee. The New Directors serve as Class III Directors of the Board, whose term will expire at the Company’s third annual general meeting.

 

In connection with the appointments, the New Directors signed a joinder to the Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, they agreed to waive certain redemption rights and to vote any Ordinary Shares they hold in favor of an initial Business Combination. The New Directors also entered into a standard director indemnity agreement with the Company. Each of the New Directors will also receive membership interests in the Sponsor representing ownership of certain Class B Ordinary Shares solely upon consummation of the Business Combination with a target introduced by such director.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

The Company has a mandatory liquidation date of November 4, 2026, the end of the Combination Period, at which time it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming public shares, and liquidating. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $748,963 and cash outside the Trust Account available to fund ongoing operating expenses.

 

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” Management has 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 that the accompanying financial statements were issued. The Company’s liquidity needs through the liquidation date will depend on the level of transaction costs and the timing of a potential Business Combination. While the current working capital is expected to be sufficient to fund operations for 12 months from the issuance of the accompanying financial statements, if additional expenses are incurred or the Business Combination process extends significantly, the Company may need to seek additional financing from the Sponsor or third parties.

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by November 4, 2026, it will liquidate the Trust Account and distribute the funds to its Public Shareholders. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 auditor 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a 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 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 accompanying 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.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the accompanying 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 accompanying financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

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 accompanying 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.

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. The Company had $772,506 and $1,237,201 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Securities Held in Trust Account

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $181,847,374 and $174,580,335, respectively, were held in money market funds investing in Treasury bills.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Public Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. After Management’s evaluation, the Warrants were accounted for under equity treatment.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the accompanying financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the accompanying financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction 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.

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounted for the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Accordingly, the Company evaluated and recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.

 

Net Income per Ordinary Share

 

Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period, excluding Ordinary Shares subject to forfeiture. For the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, weighted average Ordinary Shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 798,000 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture if the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into Ordinary Shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic income per Ordinary Share for the periods presented.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and with amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of March 31, 2025 (see Note 9).

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On November 4, 2024, the Company sold 17,250,000 Public Units, which included the full exercise of Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 2,250,000 Option Units, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments (see Note 7).

 

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and BTIG purchased an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,483,750. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one-half of one Private Placement Warrant. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments (see Note 7). The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

On June 20, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, $0.0001 par value (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the “Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) to the Sponsor in a private placement prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Founder Shares”, which unless the context otherwise requires, includes the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof), in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.004 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On July 12, 2024, the Company issued an additional 368,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding a total of 6,118,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Public Units, except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder, and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor had agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 798,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised in full, so that the Founder Shares would represent approximately 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, 798,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Sponsor is not entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the Sponsor will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares held by it.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Representative Shares (as defined in Note 6), (iii) Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities) and any private placement equivalent units (and underlying securities) that may be issued on conversion of any Working Capital Loans (as defined below) and (iv) Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement , dated October 31, 2024, by and among the Company and certain security holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

Commencing on November 1, 2024, the Company entered into an administrative services agreement, dated October 31, 2024, with an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which, the Company agreed to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor thereof an amount equal to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $120,000 and $20,000, respectively, in fees for these services. These amounts are paid and included in the general and administrative costs on the accompanying statements of operations.

IPO Promissory Note

 

On June 20, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a promissory note, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025, or the date on which the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note and as of December 31, 2025, there was $0 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.

 

Due from Sponsor

 

On November 4, 2024, the Company repaid $25,000 to the Sponsor in excess of the IPO Promissory Note. On September 26, 2025, the Company paid tax and accounting expenses on behalf of the Sponsor of $7,590. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $32,590 and $25,000, respectively, were due to be repaid to the Company from the Sponsor.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital 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. The units and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units and their underlying securities. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted BTIG a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 Option Units to cover any over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On November 4, 2024, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment Option in full and purchased the 2,250,000 Option Units at $10.00 per Option Unit.

 

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Public Unit offering price to BTIG at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. In addition, BTIG is entitled to an additional fee of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable only upon the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate (the “Deferred Fee”). The Deferred Fee will become payable to the Underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

 

Representative Shares

 

The Company issued to BTIG, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, 100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ deficit. BTIG has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such Representative Shares without the Company’s prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriting compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 and are, accordingly, subject to certain transfer restrictions or a period of 180 days beginning at the Initial Public Offering. Furthermore, BTIG agreed (and any of its designees to whom the Representative Shares are issued will agree) (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had incurred $13,470 of legal fees and $10,000 of advisory fees, of which $9,440 was paid and $14,030 is accrued as of the balance sheet date.

 

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preference Shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

The authorized Ordinary Shares include up to (i) 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s shareholders vote on the initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the initial Business Combination. Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share (except as otherwise expressed in the Amended and Restated Articles). Only holders of Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands.

 

The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 798,000 Founder Shares depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised by the Underwriter so that the Founder Shares would represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, 798,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were (i) 748,375 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, excluding 17,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and (ii) 6,118,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

 

Warrants

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 8,949,188 Warrants outstanding, including 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 324,188 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement the Company entered into with Continental, dated October 31, 2024 (the “Warrant Agreement”)) and such Class A Ordinary Shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Public Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Public Warrants

 

The Company has not registered Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Public Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Public Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 

Beginning 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash:

 

In whole and not in part;

 

At a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

 

Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-Day Redemption Period”); and

 

If, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout such 30 trading day period and the 30-Day Redemption Period.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable. The Private Placement Warrants may also be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, with certain limited exceptions, including that the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company.

 

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

F-17

 

 

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

 

Description  Level  December 31,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
Assets:           
Cash and securities held in Trust Account 1 $181,847,374  $174,580,335

2024
 
Fair value of Public Warrants for Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption allocation 3 $517,500 
Fair value of the Representative Shares 3 $748,747 

 

The fair values of Public Warrants for Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption allocation and Representatives Shares as of November 4, 2024 (the date of the Initial Public Offering) were used in allocation of the equity components and are not revalued and remeasured in subsequent periods.

 

The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants:

 

   November 4,

NEWBURY STREET II ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

FASB 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 that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets, which include the following:

 

   December 31,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
Cash and securities held in Trust Account $181,847,374  $174,580,335 
Cash $772,506  $1,237,201 

 

   For the
Year Ended
December 31,
2025
   For the
Period from June 18,
2024
(inception)
through
December 31,
2024
 
General and administrative costs $688,452  $175,611 
Interest earned on cash and securities held in Trust Account $7,267,039  $1,217,835 
Interest on operating account $42,405  $ 

 

The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 31, 2024, which the Company entered into with Continental, as trustee of the Trust Account.

 

General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

 

All other segment items included in net income are reported on the accompanying statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.

 

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the accompanying balance sheet date up to the date that the accompanying financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.
