Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Churchill Capital Corp X (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 4, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company, as of its incorporation, had not yet identified (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act”, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
The Company has two direct wholly owned subsidiaries, AH Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), a Delaware corporation and AH Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”, and collectively with “Merger Sub I”, the “Merger Subs”). The Merger Subs were formed on September 2, 2025 for the sole purposes of effecting the ColdQuanta, Inc. Business Combination (as defined below) (see Note 6).
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from January 4, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2025 related to the Company’s formation, Initial Public Offering and activities in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement (as defined below) (see Note 6). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Sponsor and Initial Public Offering
The Company’s sponsor is Churchill Sponsor X LLC (the “Sponsor”), of which M. Klein Associates, Inc. is the managing member, and is an affiliate of M. Klein and Company, LLC.
The Registration Statement on Form
(File Nos.
333-286799
and
333-287245)
for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 13, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On May 15, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 units (the “Public Units”) at $10.00 per Public Unit, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 3) of 5,400,000 Public Units (the “Option Units”), generating gross proceeds of $414,000,000,as discussed in Note 3. Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”) and
of one warrant (the “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously, with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 300,000 of private placement units (the “Private Placement Units” and together with the Public Units, the “Units”), to (i) the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or $3,000,000, as discussed in Note 4. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share (the “Private Placement Shares”) and
of one warrant, exercisable at $11.50 in exchange for one Class A Ordinary Share (the “Private Placement Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Separately, an affiliate of BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), the representative of the underwriters for the Initial Public Offering, invested $500,000 in, and was admitted as a member of, the Sponsor in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering in exchange for interests in the Sponsor corresponding to 50,000 Private Placement Units and 200,000
Founder Shares (see Note 5).
Transaction costs amounted to $4,638,840, consisting of $3,000,000 of Deferred Discount (as defined in Note 6), and $1,638,840 of other offering costs.
The Trust Account
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 15, 2025, an aggregate amount of $414,000,000 ($10.00
per unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement, is held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) and were invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations and, may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) provides that, other than the permitted withdrawals (as defined below), if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares that have been properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) (such 24 or 27 month period, as may be amended, the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
Initial Business Combination
The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an initial Business Combination.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of amounts withdrawn to fund the working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000
, and to pay taxes (“permitted withdrawals”)), (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest less permitted withdrawals. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under Nasdaq rules.
Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 earned (which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the holders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor, officers and directors are not entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor and management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each shareholder’s class of shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.
Merger Agreement
On September 8, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and ColdQuanta, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ColdQuanta”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, the parties thereto intend to effect a business combination transaction by which Merger Sub I will merge with and into ColdQuanta, with ColdQuanta continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger”), and immediately following the First Merger, the surviving corporation of the First Merger will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the PIPE Investment, are referred to as the “Transactions.”
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on September 8, 2025, the Company amended and restated that certain letter agreement, dated May 13, 2025, from the Sponsor and each of the persons undersigned thereto to the Company (the “Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement”).
The foregoing descriptions of each of the Merger Agreement and the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to each of the Merger Agreement and the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement filed as Exhibits 2.1, respectively, to this Report.
Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on September 8, 2025, the Company amended and restated that certain letter agreement, dated May 13, 2025, from the Sponsor and each of the persons undersigned thereto (the “Insiders”) to the Company (the “Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement”), pursuant to which each of the Sponsor and the Insiders agreed, among other things, (i) to vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented) all of the Sponsor’s or such Insider’s shares (as applicable) of the Company’s capital stock (a) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination and all other Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) Stockholder Matters (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (b) if applicable, in favor of waiving any and all anti-dilution rights the Sponsor may hold pursuant to the governance documents of the Company, (c) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, (d) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the applicable stockholder meeting to a later date if (and only if) (1) there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the matters described in clause (a) above on the dates on which such meetings are held or proposed to be held or (2) the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement has not been satisfied, and (e) against the following actions or proposals: (1) any Business Combination Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any proposal in opposition to approval of the Merger Agreement or in competition with or inconsistent with the Merger Agreement and (2) (A) any change in the dividend policy or present capitalization of SPAC or any amendment of the governance documents of Churchill or the Domesticated SPAC, except (x) as contemplated by clause (a) above or (y) to the extent expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (B) any liquidation, dissolution or other change in Churchill’s corporate structure or business (other than as may be proposed pursuant to an extension proxy), (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the Sponsor or any Insider under the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement, or (D) any other action or proposal involving Churchill or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any action taken in connection with any valid action taken by Churchill to terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof), (ii) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any Cayman Class B Shares, Cayman Class A Shares or Domesticated SPAC Common Stock owned by it, him or her for redemption in connection with any of the stockholder approvals or proposals described in clause (i) above, or in connection with any vote to amend the governance documents of Churchill or the Domesticated SPAC, and (iii) to vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented) all of the Sponsor’s or such Insider’s shares (as applicable) of Churchill capital stock in favor of the appointment or election of the individual(s) nominated for election in the Registration Statement in accordance with Section 8.09 of the Merger Agreement to the board of directors of the Domesticated SPAC.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement,1,500,000 of Sponsor’s Cayman Class B Share (the “Sponsor Shares”) will unvest as of the Closing and will revest on the date on which (i) the VWAP of the Domesticated SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share during any 15 trading days within any 180 consecutive trading day period following the Closing or (ii) Churchill undergoes a change of control and the price per share received by stockholders of Churchill in such change of control transaction equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (or if consideration is not received by stockholders of Churchill, the price per share implied by such transaction is $12.00) (the “Triggering Event”). If the applicable vesting terms as described in the foregoing sentence is not achieved within five years of the Closing, such Sponsor Shares will be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement. In the event of a change of control of Churchill prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the Sponsor Shares will vest immediately prior to the closing of such change of control if the change of control also constitutes the Triggering Event; otherwise, they will be automatically forfeited immediately prior to the closing for no consideration.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, or the ongoing trade and tariff policy changes by the U.S. or other countries, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1,135,562 of cash and a working capital deficit of $35,167,969.
In order to finance working capital deficit or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company hadno borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Additionally, to fund working capital the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $1,000,000. These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has withdrawn $1,000,000 in interest from the Trust Account for working capital purposes and has no further amounts available for permitted withdrawals until May 15, 2026, which is the
1-year
anniversary of the Initial Public Offering.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
205-40,
“Going Concern,” as of September 30, 2025, the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete their initial Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to
Form10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its IPO Registration Statement as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form
8-K,
as filed with the SEC on May 21, 2025. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
On September 2, 2025, the Merger Subs were formed.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a
non-binding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,135,562 and $0 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Marketable Securities and Cash Held in Trust Account
The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as
held-to-maturity
in accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities,”
held-to-maturity
securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.
Held-to-maturity
treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. On September 30, 2025, $419,571,007 was invested in U.S. Treasury Securities and $46 was held in cash, at an amortized cost of $419,552,420 as reflected on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 8). On December 31, 2024, no funds were held in the Trust Account.
To fund working capital the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $1,000,000. These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit at the Initial Public Offering. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has withdrawn $1,000,000 in interest from the Trust Account for working capital purposes and has no further amounts available for permitted withdrawals until May 15, 2026, which is the
1-year
anniversary of the Initial Public Offering.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the issuance date and is then
re-valued
at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or
non-current
based on whether
net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The subscription agreement liability meets the criteria for derivative liability classification. As such, the subscription agreement liability is recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability is recognized as a
non-cash
gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the subscription agreement liability is discussed in Note 8.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC Topic
340-10-S99
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic
470-20,
“Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Public Units between the Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Ordinary Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. After Management’s evaluation, the Public Warrants included in the Public Units were accounted for under equity treatment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
no
unrecognized tax benefits and
no
amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Class A Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC Topic
480-10-S99,
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional
paid-in
capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
As of September 30, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $414,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Less: | |
| Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants | (3,177,450) |
| Class A Ordinary Shares issuance cost | (4,591,537) |
| Plus: | |
| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | 8,927,505 |
| Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, June 30, 2025 | 415,158,518 |
| Plus: | |
| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | 4,393,948 |

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned value.
Net Loss per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shareholders”) adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to Ordinary Shareholders and the weighted-average Ordinary Shares outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of outstanding Warrants. However, because the Warrants are anti-dilutive, the Warrants are not included in loss per Ordinary Share for the periods presented.
With respect to the accretion of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC Topic
480-10-S99-3A,
the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend paid to the shareholders in the calculation of the net loss per Ordinary Share.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per Ordinary Share:

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU
2024-03”).
Under ASU
2024-03,
a public entity would be required to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU
2024-03
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU
2024-03
allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU
2024-03
or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company’s Management does not believe the adoption of ASU
2024-03
will have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on May 15, 2025, the Company sold 41,400,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit for a total of $414,000,000, which includes the full exercise of the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 5,400,000 units (the “Over-Allotment Option”). Each Unit consists of one Public Share and
of one warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments (see Note 7).
Note 4—Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 300,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a Private Placement for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. Condor Investments V, an affiliate of the representative of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering invested $500,000 in, and was admitted as a member of, the Sponsor in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering in exchange for interests in the Sponsor corresponding to 50,000 Private Placement Units and 200,000 Founder Shares (see Note 5). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and Private Placement Warrant. Each Private Placement Warrant will become exercisable 30
days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will not expire except upon liquidation; provided, however, that for so long as they are held by BTIG or its affiliates or associated persons, the Private Placement Warrants will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).
Note 5—Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On February 15, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares, in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.003 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. In April 2025, the Company, through a share capitalization, issued the Sponsor an additional 1,437,500 Founder Shares. In May 2025, the Company, through a share capitalization, issued the Sponsor an additional 1,725,000 Founder Shares, for which the Sponsor now holds 10,350,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate. All share and per share data has been retrospectively presented. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Public Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination (with such conversion taking place immediately prior to, simultaneously with, or immediately following the time of the initial Business Combination, as may be determined by the directors of the Company) or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,350,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20%
of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, the
1,350,000
Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor is not entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the Sponsor would not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by it.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (the date on which the Company consummates a transaction which results in the shareholder having the right to exchange its shares for cash, securities, or other property subject to certain limited exceptions).
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities) and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and their underlying securities), if any, and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor at the completion of the Initial Public Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the initial Business Combination, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands and have “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on the date the securities of the Company are first listed, May 14, 2025, the Company agreed to reimburse the managing member of the Sponsor in an amount equal to $30,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $90,000 and $135,000 of fees for these services, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and for the period from January 4, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, the Company didnot incur any fees for these services.
Director Agreements
On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Director Agreements with each of the three independent directors of the Company, pursuant to which, in connection with each director’s continuing service as a director of the Company, the Company agreed to pay each director a cash compensation of $75,000 per annum, beginning on the later of the date of appointment of each director and August 1, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $37,500 and $37,500
in fees related to the Director Agreement, respectively, and $
37,500
is included in accrued expenses within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and for the period from January 4, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.
Related Party Loans
On February 15, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $600,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The IPO Promissory Note was
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the date on which the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were amounts of $
and $
184,847
, respectively, outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. The Company repaid the borrowings in full at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are
no
longer available.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, enter into Working Capital Loans with the Company. If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate, payable only upon the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination (the “Deferred Discount”). The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination. The amount payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will be reduced from $3,000,000 to $1,500,000 in the event the amount held in the Trust Account following a successful consummation of the initial Business Combination is less than $100,000,000, after taking into account redemptions in connection with the vote on the initial Business Combination.
Additionally, BTIG was admitted as a member of the Sponsor in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and has been allocated interests in the Sponsor corresponding to 360,000 Founder Shares as upfront underwriting compensation in lieu of a cash underwriting discount (such shares, the “BTIG Founder Shares”). The fair value of the BTIG Founder Shares at grant was determined to be $667,472 using a PWERM valuation model. As such, in accordance with ASC
340-10-S99-1,
“Other Assets and Deferred Offering Costs,” the fair value less any amounts previously recorded related to the original purchase resembles an amount paid to the underwriters and represents a reduction in the proceeds received as it is directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The following inputs were used in the PWERM valuation model to determine the fair value of the BTIG Founder Shares:
| Restricted term (years) | 2.50 |
|---|---|
| Risk-free rate | 3.97% |
| Volatility | 6.00% |
| Discount for lack of marketability | 2.20% |
The BTIG Founder Shares and the interests in the Sponsor corresponding to 50,000 Private Placement Units and 200,000
Founder Shares allocated to Condor Investments V, an affiliate of BTIG, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are subject to
lock-up
restrictions, as required by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), and may not be sold during the Initial Public Offering or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the Initial Public Offering, except as provided in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). As required by FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8), BTIG and Condor Investments V may not exercise their demand and piggyback registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the Initial Public Offering and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion. Further, for so long as they are held by BTIG or its affiliates or associated persons, the Private Placement Warrants will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).

Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described therein, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” under the circumstances specified in either the (i) public warrant agreement, dated as of May 13, 2025, between the Company and Continental (the “Public Warrant Agreement”) or the (ii) private placement warrant agreement, dated as of May 13, 2025, between the Company and Continental (the “Private Placement Warrant Agreement,” and together with the Public Warrant Agreement, the “Warrant Agreements”) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreements, a Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a Warrant holder. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Public Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $46 in cash and $419,571,007 invested in U.S. Treasury Bills.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at amortized cost on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025:
| Held to Maturity · Amortized Cost · Unrealized Gain · Fair Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. Treasury Securities (Mature on 11/13/25 and 12/4/25) | $419,552,420 | $18,587 | $419,571,007 |
The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025:
| Level | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription agreement liability | 3 | $36,544,215 |
The subscription agreement liability was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC
815-40
and is presented within current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. The subscription agreement liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of subscription agreement liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The subscription agreement liability was valued using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) with an underlying Put Option Pricing Model using a Black Scholes Model (“BSM”) which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The key inputs into the PWERM model for the subscription agreement liability were as follows:
| September 8, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Market price of Public Shares | $10.20 | $12.86 |
| Term (years) | 0.53 | 0.47 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.83% | 3.85% |
| Volatility | 8.71% | 10.06% |
| Likelihood of completing a business combination | 95% | 95% |
| Subscription Agreement Liability | |
|---|---|
| Fair value as of September 8, 2025 | $6,044,986 |
| Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions | 30,499,229 |
| Fair value as of September 30, 2025 | $36,544,215 |
Public Warrants
The fair value of the Public Warrants is $3,177,450 or $0.307 per Public Warrant at the Initial Public Offering. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants:
| Market price of Public Shares | $9.923 |
|---|---|
| Term (years) | 2.96 |
| Risk-free rate | 3.95% |
| Volatility | 6.1% |
| Likelihood of completing a business combination | 19.2% |
Note 9—Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who review the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that the Company only hasone operating segment.
The CODMs assess performance for the single segment and determine how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocationthe CODMs review several key metrics, which include the following:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account | $419,552,466 | $— |
| Cash | $1,135,562 | $— |
| For theThree MonthsEndedSeptember 30,2025 | For theThree MonthsEndedSeptember 30,2024 | For theNine MonthsEndedSeptember 30,2025 | For the Periodfrom January4, 2024(inception)throughSeptember 30,2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General and administrative costs | $1,234,544 | $69 | $1,437,976 | $51,910 |
| Income earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account | $4,393,948 | $— | $6,552,466 | $— |
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODMs are general and administrative costs. General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODMs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
