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, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, 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 contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 5, 2025 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 5, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, 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 expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest and/or dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur 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 period from September 5, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss $59,655, which consisted of formation, general, and administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor. As of December 31, 2025, we had no cash and working capital deficit of $170,614.
Subsequent to the annual period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 13, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 28,750,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option of 3,750,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants, in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000. Of those 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 3,833,333 Private Placement Warrants, and Cantor purchased 833,333 Private Placement Warrants.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $287,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transactions costs totaling to $19,591,443, consisting of $5,000,000 of cash underwriting fees, $13,687,500 of deferred underwriting fees, and $903,943 of other offering costs.
For the period from September 5, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $59,655 was affected by payment of formation, general, and administrative costs through promissory note – related party of $43,700 and changes in accrued expenses of $15,955.
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 income taxes payable), 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.
We intend to 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.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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 loaned amounts, 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 convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing 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 with the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $35,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on February 11, 2026 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
Underwriters’ Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 13, 2026, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,750,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $5,000,000 (2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering). The underwriters have reimbursed certain of the Company’s offering expenses, specifically the advisory agreement, amounting to $1,250,000.
Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, $13,687,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Advisory Agreement
The Company engaged Zenith Securities LLC (“Zenith”), an affiliate of a passive member of the Sponsor, to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it earned customary advisory fees. Zenith represents the Company’s interests only, is independent of the underwriters and is not a party to any securities purchase agreement with the Company, the underwriters, or investors in relation to Initial Public Offering.
Zenith’s fee is equal to 0.50% of the aggregate proceeds of this offering (excluding the proceeds of the exercise of the overallotment option, if any). We also engaged Zenith as an advisor in connection with our initial business combination for which it earns an advisory fee of 1.00% of the proceeds of this offering (excluding the proceeds of the exercise of the overallotment option, if any) payable at closing of our initial business combination. Zenith is also entitled to an advisory fee equal to 1.50% of the aggregate proceeds of the exercise of the overallotment option, if any, payable at closing of our initial business combination. The underwriters will reimburse the company for the advisory fees paid to Zenith in connection with the proposed public offering and the business combination, as set forth in this paragraph.
The Company also engaged Zenith as an advisor in connection with its initial Business Combination for which it will earn an advisory fee of 1.00% of the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the proceeds of the exercise of the overallotment option, if any) or $2,500,000 in the aggregate, payable at closing of an initial Business Combination (the “Advisor IBC Fee”). The Advisor IBC Fee and any portion of the aggregate 1.50% Advisor IPO Fee will be payable at the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
The underwriter has reimbursed the Company an aggregate of $1,250,000, for the advisory fees due to Zenith in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of the audited financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the 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. The ASU 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 Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU 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 September 5, 2025, inception.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement with the Sponsor or an affiliate to pay an aggregate of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. These monthly fees will cease upon the completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $4,400,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the units offered in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds from units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option), which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and 6.50% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, or $12,045,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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 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 materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
