0001929980-26-000145Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is 0.17pp more bullish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.
Tone shift by section
The two components the gauge averages: how Risk Factors and MD&A each shifted in net tone versus last year's 10-K. The headline above is their average, so a green needle over a soft section just means the other section carried it.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are any of the risks described in the final prospectus of the Company filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024 (File No. 333-282758) (the “Prospectus”), the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025, the Form F-4 and the Proxy Statement. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Prospectus, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Overview
We are a blank check exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 21, 2023, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region. Because of our significant ties to China, we may pursue opportunities in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
On November 18, 2024, we consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one right (each, a “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 200,000 units (the “Private Units”) to the Company’s sponsor, Horizon Space Acquisition II Sponsor Corp. (the “Sponsor”). Each Private Unit consists of one Ordinary Share and one Right. The Private Units were sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, subject to limited exceptions as further described in the Prospectus.

In connection with the IPO, the underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On November 19, 2024, the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, Maxim Group LLC, exercised the Over-Allotment Option in full, and on November 21, 2024, the Representative consummated purchase of 900,000 Units (the “Option Units”), generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Option Units, the Company completed a private placement sale of 13,500 Private Units (the “Additional Private Units”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $135,000.
In connection with the IPO and the sale of the Option Units, the Company issued a total of 241,500 Ordinary Shares (the “Representative Shares”) to the Representative.
The proceeds of $69,000,000 from the IPO, the sale of the Option Units and the sales of Private Units, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Wilmington Trust, N.A. acting as trustee.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are held out of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination and working capital.
Recent Developments
Separate Trading of the Ordinary Shares and Rights
On February 4, 2025, the Company announced that holders of the Company’s units may elect to separately trade the ordinary shares and rights included in its units, commencing on February 5, 2025. The Ordinary Shares and Rights trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “HSPT” and “HSPTR”, respectively. Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “HSPTU.”
Business Combination with SL Bio Ltd.
On May 9, 2025, we entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with SL Science Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), CW Mega Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub I”), WW Century Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub II”), and SL Bio Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SL Bio”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “First Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into SL Bio, with SL Bio as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “SL Bio Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the SL Bio Business Combination, each of the Company and SL Bio will become a subsidiary of PubCo, and the Company’s shareholders and SL Bio’s shareholders will receive ordinary shares, par value US$1.00 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. The PubCo Ordinary Shares is expected to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC following the consummation of the SL Bio Business Combination. In connection with the SL Bio Business Combination, PubCo filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-292214), which was declared effective on January 13, 2026 (as amended and supplemented, the “Form F-4”), and the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (as amended and supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders on January 13, 2026.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO. Following the IPO, we have not generated any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. After the IPO, we incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for expenses associated with the search for target opportunities.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $1,809,006, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $2,889,530 offset by formation and operating costs of $1,080,524.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $142,877, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $344,530 offset by formation and operating costs of $201,653.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $7,917 and working capital deficit of $1,319,649.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
Table of Contents
Over the next 12 months (assuming a business combination is not consummated prior thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the working capital loans from our Sponsor or its affiliates. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period by April 18, 2026, unless further extended, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that 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
As of December 31, 2025, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The Founder Shares, the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units, and any Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders 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 our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We did not identify any critical accounting estimates.

Recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company early adopted the ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis, and the adoption does not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards which have not yet been adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance; however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the on the Company’s financial statements.
