Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, below is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:

we are a blank check company with no revenue or basis to evaluate our ability to select a suitable business target;

we may not be able to select an appropriate target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination in the prescribed time frame;

our expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses may not be realized;

we may not be successful in retaining or recruiting required officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;

our officers and directors may have difficulties allocating their time between the Company and other businesses and may potentially have conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination;

we may not be able to obtain additional financing to (i) fund an extension of the deadline to complete our initial business combination, (ii) provide the funds required to consummate an initial business combination that we identify, or (iii) reduce the number of stockholders requesting redemption;

we may issue our shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price that is less than the prevailing market price of our shares at that time;

we may not be able to list our securities on Nasdaq or any national securities exchange following the completion of our initial business combination and failure to obtain such listing could adversely affecting the liquidity and trading price for our securities;

you may not be given the opportunity to choose the initial business target or to vote on the initial business combination;

trust account funds may not be protected against third party claims or bankruptcy;

an active market for our public securities’ may not develop and you will have limited liquidity and trading;

the availability to us of funds from borrowings from affiliates of our sponsor or other sources may be insufficient to operate our business prior to the business combination;

our financial performance following a business combination with an entity may be negatively affected by their lack an established record of revenue, cash flows and experienced management;

there may be more competition to find an attractive target for an initial business combination, which could increase the costs associated with completing our initial business combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target;

the ongoing military conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, and the United States, Israel and Iran — and their broader consequences, including disruption of global energy supplies and critical maritime trade routes, financial market volatility, and heightened sanctions risk — may adversely affect the business and prospects of potential targets for our business combination, reduce the number of attractive targets, increase the cost of our business combination, and could result in our inability to find a suitable target or to consummate a business combination;

adverse market conditions resulting from default or failure of one or more financial institutions could adversely affect the business, value or viability of companies in the European technology sector, which we have focused on in our search for potential targets for a 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 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 one or more of our underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to us after the initial public offering, which may include acting as a financial advisor in connection with an initial business combination or as placement agent in connection with a related financing transaction. Our underwriters are entitled to receive deferred underwriting commissions that will be released from the trust account only upon a completion of an initial business combination. These financial incentives may cause them 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;

since our initial stockholders 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 our initial public offering), and because our sponsor, officers and directors may profit substantially even under circumstances in which our public stockholders 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;

changes in laws or regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations;

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 common stock at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share; and

resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions 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 required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $12.67 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.

The target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the escalating military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, the resumption of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, and other hostilities in the Middle East region and globally.

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the escalating military conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, and other hostilities in the Middle East region and globally. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations.

In addition to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas conflict, the geopolitical landscape has been significantly affected by the escalation of hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran. Following prior exchanges of strikes between Israel and Iran in 2024 and a twelve-day conflict involving U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites in June 2025, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale joint military operation against Iran beginning on February 28, 2026. The operation has targeted Iranian military infrastructure, nuclear program assets, senior government and military officials. Iran has responded with retaliatory missile and drone strikes against targets in Israel and U.S. military installations across the Persian Gulf region, including in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Qatar. This conflict represents a material escalation in regional instability, the full scope, duration and consequences of which remain highly uncertain.

The U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict has had immediate and substantial effects on global trade, energy markets and financial markets. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — through which approximately 20% of global seaborne oil trade transits — to commercial shipping, leading major container carriers and tanker operators to suspend transits and reroute vessels. Concurrently, Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have announced a resumption of attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, creating a dual chokepoint crisis that has disrupted global shipping lanes. Major shipping companies have suspended operations through both maritime corridors and rerouted vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, significantly increasing transit times and freight costs and disrupting global supply chains. War risk insurance for the Strait of Hormuz has been withdrawn or repriced at prohibitive levels, and airspace closures across multiple Gulf states have grounded thousands of flights. Brent crude oil prices have surged, and analysts have projected prices could reach $100 per barrel or higher if supply disruptions persist. Global stock markets have experienced significant declines, with indices in Asia, Europe and the United States falling sharply, and safe-haven assets such as gold and U.S. Treasuries have seen increased demand. The conflict has also prompted heightened sanctions enforcement activity and new compliance risks across financial markets.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, other hostilities in the Middle East region and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states, Iran and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of these ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices (including oil and natural gas), credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions, disruption of critical maritime trade routes, increased shipping and insurance costs, energy supply shocks, inflationary pressures, increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies and increased defense spending. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict and other hostilities in the Middle East region and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial business combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale, or if critical maritime chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait remain disrupted for a prolonged period. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

We depend on a variety of U.S. and multi-national financial institutions to provide us with banking services. The default or failure of one or more of the financial institutions that we rely on may adversely affect our business and financial condition, including our ability to successfully consummate a business combination.

We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of the failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our liquidity, business and financial condition.

In addition, although we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we have prioritized and will continue to prioritize companies in the European technology sector. Any such acquisition target may also be adversely affected by market conditions that impact the value or viability of companies in the technology sector, which may impede our ability to successfully consummate a business combination.

We may be subject to the 1% excise tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which may decrease the value of our securities following our initial business combination and hinder our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions and economically similar transactions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations on or after January 1, 2023. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities were trading on Nasdaq and are now trading in the over-the-counter market, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased (although it may reduce the amount of cash distributable in a current or subsequent redemption). The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, determined at the time of the repurchase. Corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances by such corporation against the fair market value of stock repurchases (or deemed repurchases) during the same taxable year to reduce or eliminate the amount of excise tax that would otherwise apply. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.

Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the stock repurchase excise tax will depend on a number of factors, including (i) whether the redemption is treated as a repurchase of stock for purposes of the excise tax, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions treated as repurchases in connection with a business combination, (iii) the structure of a business combination and whether any such transaction closes, (iv) the nature and amount of any private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) or other equity issuances in connection with a business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a business combination but issued within the same taxable year of a business combination), (v) whether we consummate a business combination, and (vi) the content of regulations and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, such payments could reduce the cash available to complete a business combination and inhibit our ability to complete a business combination.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax.

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2 as interim guidance until the publication of forthcoming proposed regulations on the excise tax. Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether, and/or to what extent, the excise tax could apply to redemptions of our stock, including any redemptions in connection with a business combination, or in the event we do not consummate a business combination.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Treasury issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company determined that it was required to file a return and remit payment on or before October 31, 2024 for excise tax liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. In October 2024, the Company filed its excise tax return and paid $1,455,187 arising from the redemption of public shares in August 2023. Along with the redemptions of the Company’s public shares in August 2024, the Company recorded a 1% excise tax liability of approximately $294,914 on the balance sheet as of the redemption date and filed an excise tax return and fully paid the excise tax due in April 2025.

On November 24, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations providing guidance regarding the application of the excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock made after December 31, 2022.

In issuing the November 2025 regulations, the Treasury Department and IRS agreed with certain commenters that transition relief is appropriate for certain types of stock issued prior to the enactment of the IRA if the covered corporation did not have discretion as to whether to repurchase such stock after that date, and included in the final regulations transition relief for mandatorily redeemable stock subject by its terms to a unilateral put option of the holder if such stock was outstanding as of the date of enactment of the IRA.

Based on the final regulations issued in November 2025, the Company determined that (i) its previous stock redemptions may not be subject to the excise tax, and it intends to file amended tax returns seeking a refund of excise taxes previously paid; and (ii) the Company may not owe any excise tax with respect to the stock redemption that took place in August 2025.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

The Sponsor would likely be considered by Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) to be “controlled” (as defined in 31 CFR 800.208) by a foreign person, such that the Sponsor’s involvement in the business combination would likely be a “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 CFR800.213). In addition, it is possible that non-U.S. persons could be involved in the business combination, which may increase the risk that the business combination becomes subject to regulatory review, including review by the CFIUS, and that restrictions, limitations or conditions will be imposed by CFIUS. If the business combination with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If the business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the Company may determine that it is required to make a mandatory filing or that it will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay the business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the business combination or order the Company to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent the Company from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that it believes would otherwise be beneficial to it and its stockholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which the Company could complete the Business Combination may be limited and the Company may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. A failure to notify CFIUS of a transaction where such notification was required or otherwise warranted based on the national security considerations presented by an investment target may expose the sponsor and/or the combined company to legal penalties, costs, and/or other adverse reputational and financial effects, thus potentially diminishing the value of the combined company. In addition, CFIUS is actively pursuing transactions that were not notified to it and may ask questions regarding, or impose restrictions or mitigation on, an initial business combination post-closing.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and the Company has limited time to complete the business combination. If the Company cannot complete the business combination because the transaction is still under review or because the business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, the Company may be required to liquidate. If the Company liquidates, the Company’s public stockholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account that are available for distribution to public stockholders. This would cause public stockholders to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on their investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), our activities would be severely restricted.

The funds in the trust account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement in connection with our IPO, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, following and even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. The risk of being deemed subject to the Investment Company Act may increase the longer the Company holds securities (i.e., the longer past two years the securities are held), and also may increase to the extent the funds in the trust account are not held in cash. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to transfer the investments held in the trust account at any time and instead hold all funds in the trust account in interest-bearing accounts, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete a business combination and instead liquidate the Company. If we are required to liquidate, our stockholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from an investment in a target company and the appreciation in value of such investment through a business combination. Additionally, if we are required to liquidate, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

For the complete list of risks relating to our operations, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our Registration Statement.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations until we consummate our business combination. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering, the private placement of the private shares, the private placement of the forward purchase shares, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the closing of our initial public offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. We have no legally binding business combination agreement with any specific business combination target.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors, including the forward purchase shares:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of our public stockholders, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;

may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Recent Developments

Stockholder Meetings

At an annual meeting on August 6, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments (the “August 2025 Amendments”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the Combination Period by one month each time from August 12, 2025 to August 12, 2026, or such earlier date as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. (See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements). The Company is required to deposit $17,470 to the trust account with respect to each such monthly extension. In connection with the August 2025 Amendments, 571,053 of the public shares were tendered for redemption for a total redemption price of $7,019,660 or approximately $12.29 per share.

Promissory Notes

On May 9, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the sponsor for $1,725,000 in connection with the sponsor’s funding of the Initial Extension (the “Initial Extension Loan”), and on May 12, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the Sponsor for $775,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the Company’s working capital needs (the “Initial Working Capital Loan”).

In August 2023, the Company issued to the Sponsor a convertible promissory note in the amount of $625,000 (the “Additional Extension Loan”) in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of an extension deposit to the Trust Account. In August 2023 the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $710,000 (the “Additional Working Capital Loan”) to the Sponsor to provide the Company with additional working capital, of which $110,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for future borrowings.

Together, the Initial Extension Loan, the Initial Working Capital Loan, the Additional Extension Loan, and the Additional Working Capital Loan are the Convertible Promissory Notes.

In December 2023, April 2024, June 2024, August 2024, September 2024, December 2024, January 2025, March 2025, June 2025, August 2025 and December 2025, the Company issued non-convertible promissory notes (together the “Non-convertible Promissory Notes”) to Achilles Capital AB (formerly known as DDM Debt AB) (“Achilles”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, with an aggregate value of $4,450,000. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Non-Convertible Promissory Notes were used to provide the Company with general working capital.

None of the Convertible Promissory Notes or the Non-convertible Promissory Notes bear interest and are due upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would expect to repay the Convertible Promissory Notes and the Non-convertible Promissory Notes from funds that are released to the Company from the Trust Account. At the option of the holder of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the holder may convert all or a portion of the Convertible Promissory Notes into Private Shares at a price of $10.00 per Private Share, which Private Shares will be identical to the Private Shares described herein (Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements).

Trust Account Funding

Since May 8, 2023 when the Company announced that its Board of Directors elected to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination through the date of this filing, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $3,603,504 to the Trust Account to extend the Combination Period to April 12, 2026.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from December 27, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $731,544, which consisted of general and administrative support fees of $1,058,408 and federal income taxes of $71,472, partially offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in trust account of $398,336.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $206,537, which consisted of general and administrative support fees of $1,454,382 and provision for income taxes of $312,612, partially offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,560,457.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $337,755 not held in the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $8,152,366.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $1,095,356. Net loss of $731,544 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $397,877 and deferred taxes of $5,757. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $39,822 of cash for operating activities. Cash provided by investing activities was $6,730,183 which includes investment of cash to the Trust Account of $369,534, cash withdrawn from Trust Account in connection with redemptions of $7,019,660 and withdrawals from trust account to pay taxes of $80,057. Cash used in financing activities includes $1,450,000 of proceeds from the promissory notes issued to a related party and $7,019,660 paid to redeeming stockholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $3,030,748. Net loss of $206,537 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,536,233 and deferred taxes payable of $27,563. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $1,260,415 of cash for operating activities. Cash provided by investing activities was $29,188,023 including $528,161 withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay taxes, $29,491,422 cash withdrawn from trust account in connection with redemptions partially offset by $831,560 of deposits to the Trust Account. Cash used in financing activities includes $1,300,000 of proceeds from the promissory notes to related party partially offset by $29,491,422 for redemption of common stock

As of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,532,541 consisting of money market funds which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. For the period ended December 31, 2025, we withdrew $80,057 of interest earned on the Trust Account for the payment of franchise and income taxes.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock 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.

The Company has entered into the Convertible Promissory Notes and Non-convertible Promissory Notes and as of December 31, 2025 borrowed $7,685,000 to be used to extend the Combination Period and for general working capital purposes. The aggregate principal amounts outstanding under Convertible and Non-Convertible Promissory Notes issued to the Sponsor and Achilles are $3,235,000 and $4,450,000, respectively.

The Company currently has until April 12, 2026 or the end of any further monthly extension period approved by the Board through August 12, 2026 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by April 12, 2026 or such later date to which the business combination period may be extended. If a Business Combination is not consummated by April 12, 2026 or during any further extension period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that (i) uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to obtain the cash needed to fund professional fees and other expenses related to its target search activities, SEC reports, tax returns, trust and stock transfer administration and other business and corporate activities, and trust deposits required for further extensions to the Combination Period, and (ii) the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after April 12, 2026 or at the end of any further extension period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative support services and outstanding promissory notes to the Sponsor and its affiliates in the aggregate amount of $7,685,000 as of December 31, 2025. We began incurring the administrative support services fees on February 8, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option, or $6,037,500, upon the completion of the Company’s business combination. The Company’s former legal counsel agreed to defer legal fees in the amount of $175,000, which is payable (without interest) upon and concurrently with the completion of a business combination.

Critical Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that the Company’s management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.
