- Capital Structure: Issuance of 20,125,000 Units (Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights) to the public and 592,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and Underwriters.
- Trust Account: Establishment of a U.S.-based trust account holding $201,250,000. Funds are restricted until the completion of an initial business combination, redemption of shares, or specific dissolution events.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Business Combination Timeline: The Company has 21 months from the closing of the IPO (June 16, 2025) to consummate an initial business combination. If unsuccessful, the Company must redeem 100% of public shares.
Redemption Rights: Public shareholders may redeem their shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the 21-month period or in connection with specific amendments to the Articles of Association.
Use of Funds: Funds in the trust account are generally not available for working capital, except for interest earned (to pay taxes) and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses.
Risks: The primary risk is the failure to identify and complete a target business within the 21-month window, which would trigger a liquidation and redemption of public shares.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Trust Account Verification: Confirm the $201,250,000 deposit with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
- Over-Allotment Exercise: Verify the full exercise of the 2,625,000 unit over-allotment option by underwriters.
- Private Placement Terms: Review the Sponsor and Underwriters' Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements for lock-up provisions and rights differences compared to public units.
- Deferred Fees: Note the $7,043,750 deferred underwriting commission contingent on the completion of a business combination.
- Board Composition: Verify the qualifications and independence of the newly appointed directors, particularly those on the Audit Committee.
