Material Changes
This filing represents the Company's transition from a pre-IPO entity to a publicly traded SPAC.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Combination Period: The Company has 24 months from the closing of the IPO (November 12, 2025) to complete its initial business combination.
- Redemption Rights: Public shareholders may redeem their shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the Combination Period or if shareholders vote to amend specific provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
- Trust Account Restrictions: Funds in the trust account are generally not accessible to the Company except for taxes on interest earned or upon the occurrence of specific redemption or liquidation events.
- Private Placement: Private Warrants were sold to the Sponsor (Evolution Sponsor Holdings LLC), Cohen & Company Capital Markets (CCM), and Clear Street, LLC, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact terms of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) regarding underwriting discounts and commissions.
- Review the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (Exhibit 3.1) for specific redemption thresholds and voting rights.
- Confirm the specific terms of the Private Warrants sold to the Sponsor and underwriters, as these may differ from public warrants.
- Monitor the 24-month deadline for completing a business combination to assess potential liquidation risks.
