Material Changes and Subsequent Events
The financial statements reflect the pre-IPO period. Significant capital events occurred subsequent to the reporting period (March 31, 2025) but prior to the filing date:
- Initial Public Offering (May 19, 2025): Consummated IPO of 30,015,000 Units at $10.00 per unit, including full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Gross proceeds: $300,150,000.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Outlook: The Company intends to use funds from the Trust Account to complete a business combination. It has 24 months from the IPO closing (May 19, 2025) to consummate a transaction, subject to extension. If no combination is completed, the Company will liquidate and redeem public shares.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Geopolitical Instability: Ongoing conflicts (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas) and resulting sanctions may disrupt capital markets and affect the ability to identify or complete a target.
- Trade Policy: Changes in tariffs and international trade policies could adversely affect potential target businesses.
- Regulatory Environment: New SEC rules for SPACs (effective July 1, 2024) impose additional disclosure and registration requirements that may increase costs and time to complete a combination.
- Liquidity: Prior to the IPO, the Company had no cash and relied on a related-party promissory note. Post-IPO, working capital is available outside the Trust Account.
Investor Verification Checklist
- IPO Closing Date: Verify the May 19, 2025 closing date and the full exercise of the 3,915,000 unit over-allotment.

- Share Structure: Verify the 7,503,750 Class B founder shares held by the Sponsor and the 30,015,000 Class A public shares outstanding post-IPO.
- Warrant Terms: Confirm the exercise price of $11.50 per share for both Public and Private Placement Warrants.
