NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Axiom Intelligence Acquisition Corp 1 (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on January 30, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination withone or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not selected any specific Business Combination target. The Company intends to pursue an initial Business Combination in the European infrastructure industry.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 30, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (as defined below) and identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the Business Combination. 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.
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 May 14, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-287279), was declared effective on June 17, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). On June 20, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), which included the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 2,500,000 units (“Option Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), as discussed in Note 3. Each Public 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 Public Units, the “Public Shares”) andone right to receive one-tenth ofone Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination (the “Public Rights”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 600,000 units (the “Private Placement Units” and together with the Public Units, the “Units”) to (i) the Company’s sponsor, Axiom Intelligence Holdings 1, LLC (the “Sponsor”), (ii) Cohen &Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, a representative of the underwriters (“CCM”) and (iii) Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport”), a representative of the underwriters, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Private Placement”), as discussed in Note 4. Of the 600,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 400,000 Private Placement Units, CCM purchased 160,000 Private Placement Units, and Seaport purchased 40,000 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists ofone Class A Ordinary Share (the “Private Placement Shares”) andone right to receive one-tenth ofone Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination (the “Private Placement Rights”, and together with the Public Rights, the “Rights”).
Transaction costs amounted to $12,624,206, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $8,000,000 of Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6), and $624,206 of other offering costs.
The Business Combination must be withone or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on June 20, 2025, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. The funds, initially held in cash, including demand deposit accounts at a bank, may only be invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that it might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on the Company’s management’s (“Management”) ongoing assessment of all factors related to the potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Except with respect to amounts withdrawn to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by June 20, 2027, 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors “Board”) may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to (A) 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 has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. 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 holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).
The Company will provide the Public Shareholders (excluding the Sponsor, officers and directors to the extent they acquire Public Shares) with the opportunity to redeem 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) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders are entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as oftwo business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in the Trust Account was $10.00 per Public Share as of June 30, 2025.
The Ordinary Shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more thanten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated June 17, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) 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 has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iii) vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot provide any assurance that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
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.** **
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity needs up to June 30, 2025 had been satisfied through the loan under the IPO Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5), an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $300,000 (see Note 5). As of June 30, 2025, the Company hadno cash and had a working capital deficit of $892,615.
On June 20, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Sponsor expected to deposit $2,000,000 into the Company’s bank account. Due to the timing of funds and the bank account opening process, these funds were not deposited into the Company’s bank account at such time and remained in the Sponsor’s bank account as of June 30, 2025. The Company has accounted for the amount due as a share subscription receivable within shareholders’ deficit. On August 4, 2025, the Sponsor settled the outstanding $2,000,000 share subscription receivable and deposited $997,258 into the Company’s operating account and settled the outstanding IPO Promissory Note of $300,000 and advances from the Sponsor of $702,742 (see Note 10).
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 a Business Combination, the Company would repay such Working Capital Loans at that time. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 204-50, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” 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. Management has determined that since the Company received the Private Placement funds from the Sponsor (see Note 5), which are included as a share subscription receivable on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet, it has sufficient access to funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company for one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the IPO Registration Statement, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on June 26, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and for the period from January 30, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed 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 no cash or cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $200,181,454 were held in cash and money market funds.
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
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” 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 Public Units between Public Shares and Public Rights, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to the assigned value of the Public Rights and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Rights and the Private Placement Rights were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public Rights. Private Placement Rights, after Management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.
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 June 30, 2025, 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 period presented.
Rights
The Company accounted for the Rights 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 Rights under equity treatment at their assigned values.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata to the shares. Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from income (loss) per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share, basic and diluted, for redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing the interest/dividend earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding since original issuance. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income attributable to redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable Ordinary Shares include the Founder Shares, as these Founder Shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share:
| For the Three Months Ended · For the Period from January 30, 2025 (Inception) Through | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2025 | June 30, 2025 | |||

| Basic and diluted weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding | 2,288,889 | 5,925,926 | 1,364,238 | 5,888,521 |
| Basic and diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share | $0.01 | $0.01 | $(0.00) | $(0.00) |
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. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible 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 June 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 accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $200,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Less: | |
| Proceeds allocated to Public Rights | (3,160,000) |
| Class A Ordinary Shares issuance costs | (12,406,850) |

| Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value | 15,748,304 |
| Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, June 30, 2025 | $200,181,454 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” (“ASC 280”) in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 30, 2025 (inception).
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed unaudited financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In the Initial Public Offering on June 20, 2025, the Company sold 20,000,000 Public Units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 2,500,000 Option Units, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit had a price of $10.00 and consists ofone Public Share andone Public Right, which grants its holder the right to receiveone tenth (1/10) of a Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination.
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor, CCM and Seaport purchased an aggregate of 600,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in the Private Placement. Each Unit consists ofone Private Placement Share andone Private Placement Right to receive one tenth (1/10) ofone Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Of those 600,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 400,000 Private Placement Units, CCM purchased 160,000 Private Placement Units, and Seaport purchased 40,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units, subject to certain limited exceptions.
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 January 30, 2025, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, for which the Company issued 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”). On May 29, 2025, the Company capitalized US$95.8333 standing to the credit of its share premium account and applied such sum on the Sponsor’s behalf towards paying up in full (as to the full par value of US$0.0001 per share) an aggregate of 958,333 unissued Class B Ordinary Shares, which were allotted and issued to the Sponsor. Up to 875,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On June 20, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised the Over-Allotment Option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the Over-Allotment Option by the underwriters,833,334 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 41,666 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,666,667 Founder Shares.
On June 16, 2025, the Sponsor granted membership interests equivalent to an aggregate of 150,000 Founder Shares to the three independent directors of the Company in exchange for their services as independent directors through the initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares, represented by such membership interests, will remain with the Sponsor if the holder of such membership interests is no longer serving the Company prior to the initial Business Combination. The membership interest assignment of the Founder Shares to the holders of such interests are in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the assignment date. The total fair value of the 150,000 Founder Shares represented by such membership interests assigned to the holders of such interests on June 16, 2025 was $236,250 or $1.575 per Founder Share. The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on June 16, 2025, the date of the grant agreement, using a calculation prepared by a third-party valuation team, which takes into consideration the market adjustment of 16.0%, a risk-free rate of 4.15% and a stock price of $9.84. The Founder Shares are classified as “Level 3” at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors (see Note 8). The membership interests were assigned subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination). Share-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of membership interests that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the assignment of the membership interests. As of June 30, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
The Founder Shares are designated as Class B Ordinary Shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Public Shares, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as Public Shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights; (iii) the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to many limitations on the Founder Shares (see Note 1), (iv) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein and in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (v) prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on (x) the appointment and removal of directors or (y) continuing the company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the Company’s constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands).
Promissory Note — Related Party
The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $300,000 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note, which was due on demand. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available. On August 4, 2025, the Company fully settled the $300,000 borrowed under the IPO Promissory Note (see Note 10).
Advances from Sponsor
Advances from Sponsor represents the amounts owed by the Company to the Sponsor in excess of the $300,000 principal amount of the IPO Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2025, advances from Sponsor amounted to $656,101. On August 4, 2025, the Company fully settled the $656,101 borrowed under the advances from Sponsor (see Note 10).
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, commencing on June 17, 2025 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services (the “Administrative Services Agreement”). As of June 30, 2025, $497 has been accrued under the Administrative Services Agreement under accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 Working Capital Loans as may be required . If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the 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. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of June 30, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Share Subscription Receivable
On June 20, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Sponsor expected to deposit $2,000,000 into the Company’s bank account. Due to the timing of funds and the bank account opening process, these funds were not deposited into the Company’s bank account at such time and remained in the Sponsor’s bank account as of June 30, 2025. The Company has accounted for the amount due as a share subscription receivable within shareholders’ deficit.
Subsequent to June 20, 2025, the following has been deducted from the share subscription receivable:
| ● | repayment of the $300,000 IPO Promissory Note; and |
| ● | repayment of the $702,742 of advances from the Sponsor. |
The remaining approximate $997,258 will be utilized for working capital purposes. On August 4, 2025, the Sponsor settled the outstanding $2,000,000 share subscription receivable and deposited $997,258 in the Company’s bank account after repayment of the $300,000 IPO Promissory Note and $656,101 advances from the Sponsor outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and an additional advance of $46,641 from Sponsor for the period from July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 (see Note 10).
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of (i) Founder Shares, (ii) 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 (iii) any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares held by the holder of the Founder Shares 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 IPO Registration Statement. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, and have piggyback registration rights. The underwriters may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On June 20, 2025, the underwriters partially exercised their Over-Allotment Option, purchasing 2,500,000 Option Units and forfeiting the remaining unexercised balance of 125,000 Option Units.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $8,000,000, payable upon the closing of an initial Business Combination, but such deferred underwriting discount shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination (the “Deferred Fee”).
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of June 30, 2025, there wereno preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of June 30, 2025, there were 600,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued or outstanding, excluding 20,000,000 Public Shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of June 30, 2025, there were 6,666,667 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for any share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate,25% of the sum of (i) the total number of shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Units and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Rights), plus (ii) all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent units issued to our Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Public Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination or certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Articles prior to an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled toone vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) are entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.
Rights
Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Right will automatically receiveone tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. In the event the Company is not the surviving Company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively convert its Rights in order to receive theone tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share underlying each Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law. As a result, rights holders must hold Rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive Class A Ordinary Shares for all of their Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds for their Rights and the Share Rights will expire worthless.
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 June 30, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Level | June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||
| Cash and investments held in Trust Account | 1 | $200,181,454 |
The fair value of the Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering is $3,160,000, or $0.158 per Public Right. The Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering 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 “Level 3” valuation of the Public Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering:
| Unit price | $10.06 |
|---|---|
| Share price | $9.90 |
| Share rights fraction | 1/10 |
| Pre-adjusted value per Share Right | $0.99 |
| Market adjustment(1) | 16.0% |
| (1) | Market adjustment reflects additional factors not fully captured by low volatility selection, which may include likelihood of a Business Combination occurring, market perception of lack of available or suitable targets, or possible post-acquisition decline of share price prior to the beginning of the exercise period. The adjustment is determined by comparing traded Public Right prices to simulated model outputs. The market adjustment was determined by calibrating traded Public Rights prices as of the valuation dates. |
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 a company’s 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 (loss) that also is reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| Cash and investments held in Trust Account | $200,181,454 |
|---|
| For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | For the Period from January 30, 2025 (Inception) through June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| General and administrative expenses | $107,286 | $191,724 |
| Interest earned and accrued on cash and investments held in Trust Account | $181,454 | $181,454 |
The CODM reviews interest earned and accrued on cash and investments 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 Trust Agreement.
General and administrative expenses 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 Business Combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
On August 4, 2025, the Sponsor settled the outstanding $2,000,000 share subscription receivable and deposited $997,258 in the Company’s bank account after repayment of the $300,000 IPO Promissory Note and $656,101 of advances from the Sponsor outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and an additional advance of $46,641 from the Sponsor for the period from July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025.
