Important Shareholder Information
-
Business Combination Deadline: The company has 24 months from IPO closing (“Completion Window”) to complete a business combination. Failure to do so will result in the liquidation of the Trust Account and redemption of public shares at approximately \$10.00 per share, including accrued interest (subject to certain limits and permitted withdrawals).
-
Redemption Rights: Public shareholders can redeem their shares for cash either at the completion of a business combination or if the company fails to complete one within the Completion Window. Redemption value is based on the Trust Account balance.
-
Founder Shares: 7,666,667 Class B shares were issued to the Sponsor, with 1,000,000 initially subject to forfeiture unless the over-allotment option was exercised. As the option was exercised in full, these shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
-
Share-Based Compensation: Significant share-based compensation expenses were recognized for founder shares transferred to advisors and directors, including \$983,250 to M. Klein and Company, LLC and \$513,000 to directors and officers. These expenses were measured at fair value based on market assumptions.
-
Warrants Structure: Warrants entitle holders to purchase Class A shares at \$11.50 per share. They cannot be exercised until 30 days after business combination completion and will expire five years after. The company is not obligated to deliver shares unless a registration statement is effective.
-
Potential Risks: The company faces risks from global geopolitical instability (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas conflicts), which may impact capital markets, liquidity, and its ability to identify and consummate a business combination.
-
Registration Rights: Holders of founder shares, private placement warrants, and shares underlying warrants have registration rights, allowing them to demand registration for resale of their securities after the business combination.
-
Administrative Fees: The company will pay the Sponsor \$10,000 per month for office space and administrative support, which will cease upon completion of a business combination or liquidation.
-
Underwriter Compensation: Odeon Capital Group, LLC received 25,000 founder shares as part of its underwriting compensation, valued at \$85,500. Deferred underwriting fees of \$2,300,000 will be released upon completion of a business combination.
-
Capital Markets Advisor: The Klein Group, LLC acted as the capital markets advisor, not an underwriter, and is entitled to a \$310,363 accrued fee.
-
Working Capital Loans: Up to \$1,500,000 in working capital loans may be converted into private placement warrants at \$1.00 per warrant post-combination, but as of reporting date, none were outstanding.
-
Tax Status: The company is not currently subject to income taxes in the Cayman Islands or U.S., with no recognized tax liabilities or benefits.
-
Segment Reporting: The company operates as a single segment, with cash and Trust Account balance as key metrics.
-
Fair Value Measurement: Public Warrants valued at \$0.46 per warrant using Monte Carlo simulation, based on implied share price, probability of de-SPAC, and market adjustments.
-
Subsequent Events: The promissory note to the Sponsor (\$252,021) was fully repaid on February 19, 2026.
Potential Price-Sensitive Factors
-
Completion Window: Failure to complete a business combination within the 24-month window could trigger liquidation and redemption at Trust Account value, potentially impacting share price.
-
Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing global conflicts may disrupt capital markets and affect the company’s ability to execute its strategy.
-
Share-Based Compensation Expenses: Large, non-recurring compensation expenses for founder shares may impact future profitability metrics.
-
Registration Rights & Share Unlocks: Post-business combination, registration rights and lock-up expiry could result in increased share liquidity and potential price volatility.
-
Warrants & Convertible Loans: Exercise or conversion of warrants or loans could dilute existing shareholders.
-
Interest Income Limitation: Only up to \$300,000 of interest income annually from the Trust Account may be withdrawn for working capital before a business combination, limiting available operating funds.
