Gesher Acquisition Corp. II - 10-Q Summary (Q1 2026)

Business Context and Reporting Period

Gesher Acquisition Corp. II (GSHR) is a Cayman Islands exempted company and a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) formed to effect a business combination. The company is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company. This report covers the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026. As of the reporting date, the company had not entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination and had not commenced operations other than organizational activities and the search for a target.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: The company has no operating revenue. Net income is derived primarily from interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Income Surge: Net income increased significantly to $891,601 from $29,499 in the prior year quarter. This is driven by a substantial increase in interest income ($1.3M vs. $114K) due to higher interest rates on Trust Account investments, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
• Operating Expenses: General and administrative expenses rose to $412,668 from $84,174. This increase reflects ongoing costs associated with being a public company and the search for a target, including a $30,000 quarterly fee under the Administrative Services Agreement.
• Cash Position: Cash held outside the Trust Account decreased to $589,283 from $1,682,334 in Q1 2025, reflecting the burn rate of operating activities ($503,926 net cash used in operating activities).
• Trust Account Growth: The Trust Account balance grew to approximately $150.0 million, increasing the per-share redemption value to $10.43 from $10.35 at the end of 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Combination Deadline: The company must consummate a business combination by December 24, 2026 (21 months from the IPO closing). Failure to do so will trigger an automatic liquidation and redemption of public shares.
• Going Concern: Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation date raises substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company may need to raise additional capital through loans or investments from the Sponsor or third parties to sustain operations until the deadline.
• Liquidity: The company currently has a working capital surplus of $373,959. Liquidity needs are met by funds held outside the Trust Account. The Sponsor is not obligated to provide additional working capital loans.
• Management Changes: Sagi Dagan resigned as CFO and Director effective December 31, 2025. Caroline Fu was appointed Deputy CFO effective December 2, 2025, and CFO effective January 1, 2026.
• Risk Factors: Risks include the inability to complete a business combination, potential delisting from Nasdaq if the 36-month requirement is not met, and the impact of geopolitical instability or economic downturns on target identification.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Trust Account Yield: Verify the sustainability of the high interest income ($1.3M in one quarter) and its impact on the redemption value per share.
• Runway Analysis: Assess if the current cash balance ($589k) is sufficient to cover operating expenses until the December 2026 deadline without additional Sponsor funding.
• Target Search Progress: Confirm if any definitive agreements or letters of intent have been signed with potential targets, as none were disclosed in this filing.
• Redemption Value: Monitor the per-share redemption value ($10.43) against the market price of the units to gauge potential redemption pressure.
• Deferred Fees: Note the $5.03M deferred underwriting fee payable upon a successful business combination, which reduces net proceeds available to the combined entity.
