Material Changes vs. Prior Period

- Trust Account: The Trust Account balance grew from $0 to $55,663,293 following the deposit of $55,000,000 from the IPO and Private Placement, plus accrued interest.
- Equity Structure: The Company issued 5,500,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption. Additionally, 206,250 Founder Shares (Class B) were forfeited on July 30, 2025, as the underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment option.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Merger Agreement: The proposed transaction with HDE involves a $300 million stock consideration. Earnout provisions allow for up to 2,000,000 additional shares if the stock price exceeds $15.00 within two years post-closing.
- Going Concern: Management has raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern if a business combination is not completed by June 16, 2026 (12 months from IPO). The Company may need to liquidate the Trust Account if the deadline is not met.
- Liquidity: Liquidity is currently supported by $1.38 million in cash outside the Trust Account. The Company may require additional financing to complete the business combination or cover working capital deficiencies.
- Extension Option: The Company may extend the time to consummate a business combination by up to six months (total 18 months) if the Sponsor deposits $0.10 per share ($550,000 total) into the Trust Account for each three-month extension.
- Risks: Risks include the failure to complete a business combination, inability to raise additional financing, and global economic uncertainties affecting the target sector.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Merger Conditions: Verify the specific conditions precedent in the Merger Agreement with HDE that must be satisfied for the transaction to close.
- Redemption Rights: Confirm the redemption price per share available to public shareholders upon the completion of the business combination (currently approx. $10.00 plus interest).
- Extension Funding: Assess the Sponsor's ability and willingness to fund the Trust Account extensions if the merger is delayed beyond the initial 12-month period.
- Working Capital: Monitor the $1.38 million cash balance outside the Trust to ensure it is sufficient to cover operating expenses and transaction costs until the merger closes.
- Over-Allotment Forfeiture: Note that the over-allotment option expired unexercised, resulting in the forfeiture of 206,250 Founder Shares, which impacts the final share count and ownership dilution.
