Current report
We initially had until April 1, 2026, 12 months from the closing of its IPO to consummate an initial business combination. Further, we had the ability to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two times, each by an additional three-months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination). On March 31, 2026, we held the Extraordinary General Meeting at which our shareholders approved the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal. These proposals provide that we may extend the date by which it must complete a business combination up to four times from April 1, 2026 to April 1, 2027, with each extension comprised of a three-month extension period, subject to the Sponsor (or its designee) depositing $450,000 into the Trust Account for each extension period. On March 31, 2026, a designee of the Sponsor, loaned us $450,000, which sum was deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the time that we have to consummate a business combination for the first three-month extension period. This loan is evidenced by the Extension Note, which is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the initial business combination through the conversion of the principal amount into units of our securities, with each unit consisting of one Ordinary Share and one right to receive one-fifth of one Ordinary Share. Further, on June 30, 2026, we caused an additional amount of $450,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account in order to further extend the time that we have to consummate our initial business combination to October 1, 2026. The second extension payment was loaned to us by Isdera HK Limited, an affiliate of Isdera Group. If we do not complete a business combination, we will not repay such loan. Furthermore, the letter agreement with UYSC’s initial shareholders contains a provision pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the trust account in the event that we do not complete a business combination. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time to complete the initial business combination. Our shareholders will not be able to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension. Our rights will expire worthless as a result of our failure to consummate an initial business combination during the Prescribed Time Frame.
Current report
Our search for an initial business combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East.
Current report
United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the recent military conflict in the Persian Gulf region. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, and the United States and Israel have recently been engaged in military conflict with Iran. These events have further increased geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. These events and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Current report
In connection with the Isdera Business Combination and during the interim period, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or its shareholders.
Current report
Until the earlier of consummation of the business combination or termination of the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain limitations on the operations of our business, including restrictions on our ability to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, or acquire (by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner) any entity other than Isdera. The limitations on our conduct of our business during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.
Current report
There is no assurance when or if the Isdera Business Combination will be completed.
Current report
The completion of the proposed Isdera Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. No assurance can be given that the required consents, orders and approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to the completion of the business combination will be satisfied. Even if all such consents, orders and approvals are obtained and such conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents, orders and approvals. We cannot provide assurance that the business combination will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. Our extraordinary shareholder meeting to approve the proposed Isdera Business Combination may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before all conditions to such approvals, if any, are known. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the business combination proposal and the transactions contemplated therein are approved by our shareholders, we would not be required to seek further approval of our shareholders, even if the conditions imposed in obtaining required regulatory approvals could have an adverse effect on us or Isdera.
Current report
Delays in completing the proposed Isera Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of such business combination.
Current report
Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the business combination may take longer than, and could cost more than what you expect. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the business combination may materially adversely affect the benefits that you may expect to achieve from the proposed Isdera Business Combination.
Current report
We may be forced to close the proposed Isdera Business Combination even if we determine that it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.
Current report
Public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of Isdera arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the date of the extraordinary general meeting, primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in our trust account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the business combination. If a material adverse event were to occur after approval at the extraordinary general meeting, we may be forced to close the business combination even if we determine that it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event), which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Current report
If our due diligence investigation of Isdera was inadequate, then our shareholders following the Isdera Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.
Current report
Even though we conducted a due diligence investigation of Isdera, we cannot be sure that this diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside Isdera or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Isdera and its business and outside of its control will not later arise. Any failure to have uncovered all material issues relating to Isdera and its business could materially adversely affect the stock performance and the business prospects of the combined company following the proposed Isdera Business Combination. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner inconsistent with Isdera preliminary risk analysis
Current report
We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and may not have sufficient funds for operation if the Isdera Business Combination is not consummated.
Current report
We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the proposed Isdera Business Combination. If the proposed Isdera Business Combination is not consummated, we may not have sufficient funds to seek an alternative business combination, or to meet our regular expenses of operation and may be forced to voluntarily liquidate and subsequently dissolve. Further, even if the proposed Isdera Business Combination is consummated, these expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by the combined company.
Current report
We may waive one or more of the conditions to the Isdera Business Combination without resoliciting shareholder approval for the Isdera Business Combination.
Current report
We may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to complete the proposed Isdera Business Combination, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. Our Board will evaluate the materiality of any waiver to determine whether amendment of this proxy statement/prospectus and resolicitation of proxies is warranted. In some instances, if the Board determines that a waiver is not sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of our shareholders, we would have the discretion to waive that condition and complete the proposed Isdera Business Combination without seeking further shareholder approval.
Current report
Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact us.
Current report
If the proposed Isdera Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, including as a result of shareholders declining to approve the proposals required to effect the Isdera Business Combination, our ongoing business may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of the consummation of the proposed Isdera Business Combination, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
Current report
If we were to undertake a business combination with a China based business, our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, cyber security, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of jurisdictions such as China may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and new laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business. In connection with any business combination with a China based entity, we will be required to provide additional risk disclosure related to any such possible transaction and would be expected to incur additional costs related to compliance with such laws and regulations, if such compliance can be obtained.
Current report
The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which legal cases have limited value as precedents. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The legislation over the past three decades has significantly increased the protection afforded to various forms of foreign or private-sector investment in China. Any future PRC subsidiary is subject to various PRC laws and regulations generally applicable to companies in China. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, however, the interpretations of many laws, regulations, and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations, and rules involve uncertainties. From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, however, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy in the PRC legal system than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies, internal rules, and regulations that may have retroactive effect and may change quickly with little advance notice. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainties over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property), and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.
Current report
It is possible that after our initial business combination, a majority of our directors and officers will reside outside of the United States and all of our assets will be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon all of our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on our directors and officers under United States laws. In particular, investors should be aware that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdictions would recognize and enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdiction’s courts against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
Current report
Our ability to seek and enforce legal protections, including with respect to intellectual property and other property rights, or to defend ourselves with regard to legal actions taken against us in a given country, may be difficult or impossible, which could adversely impact our operations, assets or financial condition. Rules and regulations in many countries, including some of the emerging markets within the regions we will initially focus, are often ambiguous or open to differing interpretation by responsible individuals and agencies at the municipal, state, regional and federal levels. The attitudes and actions of such individuals and agencies are often difficult to predict and inconsistent. Delay with respect to the enforcement of particular rules and regulations, including those relating to customs, tax, environmental and labor, could cause serious disruption to operations abroad and negatively impact our results.

Previous report
We have until 12 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board of directors if requested by our sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two (2) times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination), subject to the deposit of additional funds into the trust account by our sponsor or its affiliates or designees. Our shareholders will not be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension. In order for the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsors, or its affiliates or designees, must deposit into the trust account $575,000 (approximately $0.10 per public share) per three-month extension, up to an aggregate of $1,150,000, or $0.20 per public share (for the up to six months’ extension period), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension.
Previous report
Any such payments would be made in the form of a non-interest-bearing loan from our sponsor or its affiliates or designees and would be repaid, if at all, from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. The obligation to repay any such loans may reduce the amount available to us to pay as purchase price in our initial business combination, and/or may reduce the amount of funds available to the combined company following the initial business combination. This feature is different than the traditional special purpose acquisition company structure, in which any extension of the company’s period to complete a business combination requires a vote of the company’s shareholders and shareholders have the right to redeem their public shares in connection with such vote, and which do not provide the sponsor with the right to loan funds to the company to fund extension payments.
Previous report
Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that we must complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination). Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.
Previous report
If the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement units not being held in the trust account are insufficient, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination and we will depend on loans from our sponsor or management team to fund our search, to pay our taxes and to complete our initial business combination.

Current wording
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Annual Report. However, below is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations.An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report, before making a decision to invest in our units. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Previous wording
Our sponsor, UY Scuti Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, is controlled by Mr. Guojian Zhang, a non-US person. Our sponsor currently owns approximately 21.92% of our outstanding shares following our initial public offering. Certain federally licensed businesses in the United States, such as broadcasters and airlines, may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership. In addition, CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Because we may be considered a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed business combination between us and a U.S. business engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security, we could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review. The scope of CFIUS review was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our initial business combination with any potential target company falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate a business combination with such business. In addition, if our business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.

Our sponsor, UY Scuti Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, is controlled by a non-US person. Our sponsor currently owns approximately 27% of our outstanding shares.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete its initial business combination (12 months, or up to 18 months, if we extend the time to complete a business combination), our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive the cash held in the trust account, and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $17,221 in cash and cash equivalents, a working capital deficit of $138,268 and shareholders’ deficit of $163,268. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $156,520 and negative cash flow of $203,779 in operating activities. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital are discussed in the section of this Annual Report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our plans to raise capital and to consummate our initial business combination may not be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording
Unlike other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares and private placement shares held by them, as well as any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering, in favor of our initial business combination. Our sponsor currently owns approximately 21.92% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares and we expect it to maintain that percentage interest at the time of any such shareholder vote. As a result, in addition to our initial shareholder’s founder shares and the Representative Shares, we would need only 1,920,827, or approximately 33.4%, of the 5,750,000 public shares sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of a transaction (assuming all outstanding shares are eligible to vote and are voted) in order to have our initial business combination approved. Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if such persons agreed to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders. Further, assuming that only the holders of a simple majority of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares vote their shares at a general meeting of the company, representing a quorum under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we will only need 6,240 public shares sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of a transaction in addition to our initial shares and Representative Shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to approve an initial business combination.

Our sponsor currently owns approximately 27.7% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares and we expect it to maintain that percentage interest at the time of any such shareholder vote. As a result, in addition to our initial shareholders’ founder shares and the Representative Shares, we would need only 702,183, or approximately 21.2%, of the 3,312,712 public shares currently outstanding that were sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of a transaction (assuming all outstanding shares are eligible to vote and are voted) in order to have our initial business combination approved.

Previous wording
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we must complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination). We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within such time period. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of income taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (subject to increase of up to an additional $0.20 per share in the event that our sponsor elects to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full six months).
Current wording
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we must complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 24 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination).

We will have until 12 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board if requested by our sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two (2) times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination), subject to the sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account as set out below. In order for the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the trust account $575,000 (approximately $0.10 per public share) per three month extension, up to an aggregate of $1,150,000, or $0.20 per public share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan made from our sponsor or its affiliates or designees to us. The terms of the promissory note to be issued in connection with any such loans have not yet been negotiated other than that any such loan would be interest free and not be repaid unless we consummate a business combination. Consequently, such loans might not be made on the terms described in the prospectus from our initial public offering. Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the applicable time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights will be worthless.
Current wording
We must consummate our initial business combination within the Prescribed Time Frame, which provides us with a maximum of 24 months from the closing of our IPO to complete such transaction, subject to the sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account as described in this Annual Report. In order for the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit $450,000 into the Trust Account for each extension period. On March 31, 2026, a designee of the Sponsor, loaned us $450,000, which sum was deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the time that we have to consummate a business combination for the first three-month extension period. This loan is evidenced by the Extension Note, which is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the initial business combination through the conversion of the principal amount into units of our securities, with each unit consisting of one Ordinary Share and one right to receive one-fifth of one Ordinary Share. Further, on June 30, 2026, we caused an additional amount of $450,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account in order to further extend the time that we have to consummate our initial business combination to October 1, 2026. The second extension payment was loaned to us by Isdera HK Limited, an affiliate of Isdera Group. If we do not complete a business combination, we will not repay such loan. Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the Prescribed Time Frame, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights will be worthless.

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or rights, potentially at a loss.

If the net proceeds of our IPO not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.
Current wording
If the net proceeds of our IPO not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least 24 months from the closing of our IPO (if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.
Previous wording
Of the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement units and after payment of offering expenses, only approximately $500,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $500,000, we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $500,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share (or less in certain circumstances) on our redemption of our public shares, and our rights will expire worthless. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.
Current wording
The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least 24 months from the closing of our IPO (if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital and potential loans from certain of our affiliates are discussed in the section of this Annual Report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination.

In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.

We believe that, upon the closing of our IPO, the funds available to us outside of the trust account, will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination); however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share (or less in certain circumstances) on the liquidation of our trust account and our rights will expire worthless. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors herein.

As indicated above, we have 12 or if extended, up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate an initial business combination. It is possible that a claim in the future could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. It is also possible that the investment of funds from our IPO and private placement of units during our life as a blank check company, and the earning and use of interest from such investment, both of which will likely continue until we consummate an initial business combination, could increase the likelihood of us being found to have been operating as an unregistered investment company more than if we sought to potentially mitigate this risk by holding such funds as cash. Furthermore, the longer the funds are invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, the greater the risk could be that we are considered an investment company. If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act and found to have been operating as an unregistered investment company, it could cause us to liquidate. If we are forced to liquidate, investors in our company would not be able to participate in any benefits of owning stock in an operating business, including the potential appreciation of our stock following a business combination.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) of the closing of our IPO, our public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such 12 months (or up to 18 months) before redemption from our trust account.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to windup, liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the initial 12 months (or up to 18 months) before the redemption proceeds of our trust account become available to them and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate our initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their ordinary shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete our initial business combination.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the Prescribed Time Frame, which currently contemplates that we consummate our initial business combination with 24 months from the closing of our IPO (assuming we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination in full), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (less the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described herein. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to any voluntary winding up.

Under the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law, companies undertaking acquisitions relating to businesses in China must notify the State Administration for Market Regulation, or the SAMR, in advance of any transaction where the parties’ revenues in the China market exceed certain thresholds and the buyer would obtain control of, or decisive influence over, the target, while under the M&A Rules, the approval of MOFCOM must be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire domestic companies affiliated with such PRC enterprises or residents. Applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to security review. Complying with the requirements of the relevant regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including approval from SAMR, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to timely complete an initial business combination within either the initial 12-month period or within 18 months if extended or at all.

The Security Review Regulations and the New FISR Measures will potentially subject a large number of mergers and acquisitions transactions by foreign investors in China to an additional layer of regulatory review. Currently, there is significant uncertainty as to the implication of the Security Review Regulations and the New FISR Measures.

There is no guarantee that we can receive such approval in a timely manner, and we may also be prevented from pursuing certain investment opportunities if the PRC government considers that the potential investments will result in a significant national security issue. If obtained, since our initial business combination period is 15 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our initial business combination, 18 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, and the approval process may take a period longer than we expect before we enter into a definitive agreement with a target company, we may be unable to complete a business combination by October 14, 2024, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our initial business combination, January 14, 2025.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months (or up to 18 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital and potential loans from certain of our affiliates are discussed in the section of this Annual Report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” However, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us in the future, and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.
