- Assets: Total assets increased from $168,035 (Dec 31, 2025) to $363,859,517 (Mar 31, 2026), driven by the placement of $360,000,000 into the Trust Account following the IPO.

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Proposed Business Combination
On April 9, 2026 (subsequent to the period end), the company announced a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Terra Quantum AG, a quantum technology company. A definitive agreement has not yet been signed, and the transaction is subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.
Liquidity and Timeline
The company has until January 28, 2028 (24 months from IPO) to consummate a business combination. Management believes current cash outside the Trust Account ($1.57 million) is sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. If a combination is not completed, the company will liquidate and redeem public shares at the Trust Account value.
Risks
- Transaction Risk: No assurance that the Terra Quantum deal or any other combination will be completed.
- Geopolitical Risk: Ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East may impact capital markets and target business operations.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to complete a combination within 36 months (per Nasdaq rules) could result in suspension and delisting.
- Trade Policy: Changes in tariffs and international trade policies could adversely affect potential targets.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the definitive agreement with Terra Quantum AG and the timeline for shareholder approval.
- Confirm the current interest rate environment and its impact on the Trust Account balance ($362.15M) prior to any redemption.
- Review the Sponsor's ability to satisfy indemnification obligations if third-party claims reduce Trust Account funds below $10.00 per share.
- Monitor the 24-month deadline (Jan 28, 2028) and the 36-month Nasdaq listing requirement.
- Assess the potential dilution impact of the 18,490,000 outstanding warrants (Public and Private) exercisable at $11.50.
