The Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on July 18, 2025, selling 17,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. On July 24, 2025, underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, purchasing an additional 2,541,150 Units. Total gross proceeds from the IPO were $200,411,500.
Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold 5,050,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor for $5,050,000. Approximately $200,411,500 ($10.00 per Unit) was deposited into the Trust Account. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $12.8 million, including $2.6 million in upfront underwriting fees and $9.4 million in deferred fees.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Outlook and Timeline: The Company has 24 months from the closing of the IPO (until July 18, 2027) to complete an initial Business Combination. If no combination is completed within this period, the Company will liquidate and redeem Public Shares at a pro rata share of the Trust Account (approximately $10.00 per share, plus interest).
Liquidity: As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $442,500 in cash outside the Trust Account. The auditors have raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, as this amount may be insufficient to fund operations for the full 24-month period. The Company relies on potential Working Capital Loans from the Sponsor (up to $1.5 million) to fund operations and transaction costs.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Going Concern: Substantial doubt exists regarding the ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing from the Sponsor.
- Redemption Risk: Public shareholders may redeem shares for cash upon a Business Combination, potentially reducing the cash available for the transaction.
- Geopolitical Risks: Ongoing conflicts (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas) and market volatility may adversely affect the ability to identify and consummate a target.
- Investment Company Act: The Company must manage Trust Account investments to avoid being classified as an unregistered investment company.
- Shareholder Approval: The Company may complete a Business Combination without a shareholder vote if not required by law, though it may choose to hold a vote. Founder Shares (26.5% ownership) vote in favor of any combination.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Trust Account Balance: Verify the current balance of the Trust Account ($204,013,247 as of Dec 31, 2025) and the per-share redemption value, which includes accrued interest.
- Liquidity Runway: Confirm the Company's ability to fund operations with only $442,500 in working capital and the status of any Working Capital Loans from the Sponsor.
- Deferred Underwriting Fees: Note the $9,399,690 liability payable only upon successful completion of a Business Combination.
- Founder Share Dilution: Understand that Founder Shares (Class B) convert to Class A at a 1:1 ratio but have anti-dilution provisions to maintain a 26.5% ownership stake post-combination, which may dilute public shareholders.
- Expiration Date: The deadline to complete a Business Combination is July 18, 2027 (24 months from IPO).
- Related Party Transactions: Verify the $35,000 monthly administrative fee paid to the Sponsor and the $353,445 share subscription receivable from the Sponsor that remains unpaid as of the balance sheet date.
