- IPO Completion (May 2, 2025): Sold 30,000,000 Units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000.
- Private Placement (May 2, 2025): Sold 7,280,000 Private Placement Warrants for $7,280,000.

- Transaction Costs: Total costs of $18,629,500 incurred, including $5,280,000 in cash underwriting fees and $12,720,000 in deferred fees.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Completion Window: The company has 24 months from the IPO closing (until May 1, 2027) to consummate a business combination.
- Use of Proceeds: Funds in the Trust Account are restricted to U.S. government securities or money market funds. Proceeds outside the trust are for working capital and transaction costs.
- Risks: The company faces standard SPAC risks, including the inability to complete a business combination, potential dilution, and the impact of new SEC "2024 SPAC Rules" which impose stricter disclosure and co-registrant requirements.
- Going Concern: Management determined that post-IPO proceeds are sufficient to finance operations for at least one year. Pre-IPO, the company relied on a related-party promissory note.
