Material Changes and Events

- Trust Account Contribution: To effectuate the extension, Insiders are required to contribute US$125,000 per month. The filing confirms the deposit of the contribution for the fifth month of this extension period on July 22, 2026.
- Impact on Shareholders: These contributions increase the per-share redemption price payable to shareholders upon the consummation of a business combination or the Company's liquidation.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The filing contains standard forward-looking statements cautioning that actual results may differ from expectations. The Company explicitly states it does not undertake any obligation to update these statements.
