Current report

On June 25, 2025, we entered into the Minovia Business Combination Agreement with (i) the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the SPAC Merger for our shareholders and Pubco (other than the Minovia shareholders as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger and their successors and assigns) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Minovia Business Combination Agreement, (ii) Minovia, (iii) the Seller Representative, (iv) Pubco, (v) Minovia Merger Sub, and (vi) upon its execution and delivery of a joinder agreement to the Minovia Business Combination Agreement, SPAC Merger Sub.

Subject to its terms and conditions, the Minovia Business Combination Agreement provides that at the consummation of the Minovia Business Combination, the Minovia Merger Sub will merge with and into Minovia, with Minovia continuing as the surviving entity, and immediately after the consummation of the Minovia Merger, SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into our Company, with our Company continuing as the surviving company. As a result of the Mergers, our Company and Minovia each will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company with the Pubco ordinary shares listed on Nasdaq (subject to Nasdaq approval).

Current report

On August 12, 2025, we entered into the Minovia BCA Amendment. The Minovia BCA Amendment (i) extended the timeline for consummation of the Bridge Financing and (ii) amended the provision that governs amendments to the Minovia Business Combination Agreement.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $4,209,431, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,996,750, unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $28,221 and interest earned on operating cash account of $339 offset by general and administrative costs of $815,879.

Current report

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern,” Management has determined our liquidity condition, the date of mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” were issued. The unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Current report

The Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $340,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2024, or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. We had no borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the IPO Promissory Note is no longer available to be drawn upon.

Current report

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $4,000,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds from Option Units sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option). Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to Deferred Fee of 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and 6.50% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, or $10,950,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Current report

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we 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 warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Current report

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Removed paragraphs (5)

Previous report

In 2024, the SEC adopted additional rules and regulations relating to SPACs. The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC sponsors and related persons; (ii) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; (iv) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (v) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants in connection with registration statements relating to proposed Business Combination transactions. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Previous report

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, 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. We 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 our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Previous report

Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently July 17, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. We intend to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

Previous wording

We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account, and our capitalization may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2025, we may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

If we are unable to complete the Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” were issued.

Previous wording
