NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization and General
Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on June 18, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (“Business Combination”) with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate 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 Financing
The Company’s sponsor is Newbury Street II Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 9, 2024, as amended (File No. 333-281456), was declared effective on October 31, 2024 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On November 4, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Public Units”), which included the full exercise by the underwriter of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) in the amount of 2,250,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000, which is described in Note 3 (the “Initial Public Offering”). Each Unit consists ofone Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) andone-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Public Warrants”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 648,375 units (the “Private Placement Units”, and together with the Public Units, the “Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $6,483,750, which is described in Note 4. Each Private Placement Unit consists ofone Class A Ordinary Share (the “Private Placement Shares”) andone-half of one warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”).
Transaction costs amounted to $10,113,129, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fee, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting fee, and $625,629 of other offering costs.
The Trust Account
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on November 4, 2024, an amount of $173,362,500 ($10.05 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), held only in either (i) U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in Treasuries obligations, (ii) uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). 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.
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 a 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 Discount and taxes payable, if any, on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide the holders of Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct 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 require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with the Company where it does not survive and any transactions where the Company issue more than 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) or seek to the Company’s amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Charter”) would typically require shareholder approval. The Company intends to conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing rules or the Company chooses to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.
The Amended and Restated Charter provides that the Company has until November 4, 2026, or such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve to consummate the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). 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 not more than ten business days thereafter (and 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account (less 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 Public Shareholders’ 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 remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Warrants, which will expire without value to the holder if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated October 31, 2024 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter of the Initial Public Offering have agreed to waive their rights to their Deferred Discount (as defined in Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.
The Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors have also agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (i) in that would modify the substance or timing of the 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 Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, in each case unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.
Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. 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 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, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict 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 cyberattacks 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.
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 escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for a Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate a Business Combination.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,237,201 in cash and a working capital of $1,308,343. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40 “Going Concern,” 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 the accompanying financial statements. The Company cannot be assured that its plans to consummate a 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 identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and 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.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it 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 nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, 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 a 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. 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 accompanying 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.
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 $1,237,201 cash andno cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024.
Cash and Securities Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2024, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $174,580,335, were held in money market funds investing in Treasury bills.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB 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 applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption and Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Warrants and then to the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. Offering costs allocated to Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity while offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants after Management’s evaluation are accounted for under equity treatment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB 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 statement 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. 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 December 31, 2024, there wereno 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 waszero for the periods presented.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for the 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 recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.
Net Income per Ordinary Share
Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period, excluding Ordinary Shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 798,000 Ordinary Shares that were subject to forfeiture if the Over-Allotment Option (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into Ordinary Shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic income per Ordinary Share for the period presented.
| Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares | Non-Redeemable Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares | |
|---|---|---|
| Basic net income per Ordinary Share: | ||
| Numerator: | ||
| Allocation of net income, basic | $487,178 | $555,046 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Basic weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding | 5,016,582 | 5,715,425 |
| Basic net income per Ordinary Share | $0.10 | $0.10 |
Class A Ordinary 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, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and with amendments to the Amended and Restated Charter. In accordance with FASB 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 Ordinary 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 Public Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of November 4, 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $172,500,000 |
|---|---|
| Less: | |
| Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants | (517,500) |
| Class A Ordinary Shares issuance costs | (10,808,941) |
| Plus: | |
| Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value | 13,406,776 |
| Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2024 | $174,580,335 |
Segment Reporting
The Company complies with FASB ASU Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2020-06, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”), to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption was permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of June 18, 2024 (inception). There was no effect to the accompanying financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On November 4, 2024, the Company sold 17,250,000 Public Units, which include the full exercise by the underwriter of its Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 2,250,000 Option Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Public Unit consists ofone Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per shares, subject to adjustments (see Note 7).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”) purchased an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,483,750. Each Unit consists ofone Private Placement Share andone-half of one Private Placement Warrant. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per shares, subject to adjustments (see Note 7). The Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement 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 June 20, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, $0.0001 par value (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the “Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) to the Sponsor in a private placement prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Founder Shares”, which unless the context otherwise requires, includes the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof), in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.004 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On July 12, 2024, the Company issued an additional 368,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding a total of 6,118,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Public Units except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor had agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 798,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent approximately 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such,798,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Sponsor is not entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement 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 will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares or Private Placement 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) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities or other property.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the Founder Shares, Representative Shares (as defined below), Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities) and any private placement equivalent units (and underlying securities) that may be issued on conversion of any Working Capital Loans (as defined below) and Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into at the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on November 1, 2024, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof in an amount equal to $10,000 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. The Company incurred and paid $20,000 in such fees through December 31, 2024.
Related Party Loans
On June 20, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into promissory note, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering(the “IPO Promissory Note”). The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025, or the date on which the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note and as of December 31, 2024, there was $0 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
Due from Sponsor
On December 31, 2024, the Company repaid in excess of the related party loan $25,000 to the Sponsor. The $25,000 is due to be repaid to the Company from the Sponsor.
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, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “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 Working Capital 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. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans and as of December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
*NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ***
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 Option Units to cover any over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 4, 2024, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full and purchased the 2,250,000 Option Units at $10.00 per Unit.
The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to an additional fee of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable only upon the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination (the “Deferred Discount”), or $6,037,500 in the aggregate. 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.
Representative Shares
The Company issued to BTIG, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ deficit. BTIG has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the Company’s prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriting compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 and are, accordingly, subject to certain transfer restrictions or a period of 180 days beginning at the Initial Public Offering. Furthermore, BTIG agreed (and any of its designees to whom the Representative Shares are issued will agree) (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board. As of December 31, 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary Shares
The authorized ordinary shares of the Company include up to 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s shareholder votes on the initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the initial Business Combination. Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled toone vote for each Ordinary Share (except as otherwise expressed in the Amended and Restated Charter). Only holders of Class B Ordinary shares (i) have the right to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands.
The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 798,000 Founder Shares depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, the underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such,798,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
As of December 31, 2024, there were 748,375 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, excluding 17,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and 6,118,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
Public Warrants
As of December 31, 2024, there were 8,949,188 Warrants outstanding, including 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 324,188 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchaseone Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein, 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 the warrant agreement the Company entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), dated October 31, 2024 (the “Warrant Agreement”)) and such Class A Ordinary 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 Agreement, 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 Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Public Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company is not registering Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Public Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Public Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Beginning 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash:
| ● | In whole and not in part; |
| ● | At a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant; |
| ● | Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-Day Redemption Period”); and |
| ● | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout such 30 trading day period and the 30-Day Redemption Period. |
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable. The Private Placement Warrants may also be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, except with certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company.
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. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of November 4, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Level | December 31, 2024 | November 4, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | |||
| Cash and Securities Held in Trust Account | 1 | $174,580,335 | — |
| Equity: | |||
| Fair value of Public Warrants for Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption allocation | 3 | $— | $517,500 |
| Fair value of the Representative Shares | 3 | $— | $748,747 |
The fair values of Public Warrants for Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption allocation and Representatives Shares as of November 4, 2024 (the date of the Initial Public Offering) were used in allocation of the equity components and are not revalued and remeasured in subsequent periods.
The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation. 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:
| Underlying share price | $9.93 |
|---|---|
| Term (years) | 6.49 |
| Risk-free rate | 4.14% |
| Market adjustment | 5.0% |
| Volatility | 4.0% |
The fair value of the Representative Shares was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Representative shares 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 Representative Shares:
| Volatility | 80.0% |
|---|---|
| Term | 3 years |
| Average trading price post business combination | $6.86 |
| Discount on market adjustment | 32.0% |
NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC 280 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 CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that there is onlyone reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets, which include the following:
| Trust Account | $174,580,335 |
|---|---|
| Cash | $1,237,201 |
| General and administrative costs | $175,611 |
|---|---|
| Interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account | $1,217,835 |
The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 31, 2024, which the Company entered into with Continental, as trustee of the Trust Account.
General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying Statement of Operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income are reported on the statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the accompanying financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.
