Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act (as defined below) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (as defined below). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words believe, estimate, anticipate, expect, intend, plan, may, will, potential, project, predict, continue, should, could or would or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.

Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements relating to our ability to consummate any acquisition or other Business Combination (as defined below) and any other statements that are not statements of current or historical facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Managements (as defined below) current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to: | | | our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses; | | | | | the pool of prospective target businesses; | | | | our ability to complete our initial Business Combination; | | | | our expectations regarding the potential performance of the prospective target business or businesses; | | | | | our success in retaining or recruiting our officers, key employees or directors following our initial Business Combination; | | | | | our officers and directors ability to allocate sufficient time to reviewing and considering our initial Business Combination, including considerations related to potential conflicts of interest; | | | | | the potential issues associated with entering into a Business Combination agreement withan acquisition target that subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable; | | | | | our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, if needed; | | | | the ability of our Management Team (as defined below) to generate and execute on potential acquisition opportunities that will generate value for our shareholders; | | | | | our public securities potential liquidity and trading; | | | | | our ability to use proceeds not held in the Trust Account (as defined below) or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance; | | | | | our Trust Account potentially being subject to claims of third parties; | | | | | the value of the Founder Shares (as defined below) following completion of our initial Business Combination likely being substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our Public Shares (as defined below) at such time is substantially less than theRedemption Price (as defined below); | | | | | the impact on the amount held in the Trust Account, our capitalization, principal shareholders and other effects on our Company (as defined below) or Management Team should we seek to extend the Combination Period (as defined below) consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules; | | | | | our financial performance; or | | | | | the other risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Business.** **** **Overview** We are a blank check company incorporated on August 29, 2024, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. We may pursue an initial Business Combination in any business or industry. To date, our efforts have been limited to (i) organizational activities, (ii) activities related to our Initial Public Offering, and (iii) searching for and consummating a Business Combination. As of the date of this Report, we have not selected any specific Business Combination target. We have generated no operating revenues to date, and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial Business Combination. We may pursue a Business Combination opportunity in any business or industry we choose, although we are currently focused on target businesses located in Israel, particularly those that conduct business internationally in Asia, Europe or North America. We will not pursue, however, any target nor consummate an initial Business Combination with any entity that is incorporated, organized or has its principal business operations in China, HongKong or Macau. **Initial Public Offering** Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on March 14, 2025. On March 24, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 14,375,000 Public Units, including 1,875,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $143,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $5,656,250. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. A total of $144,181,250, comprised a portion of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. It is the job of our Sponsor and Management Team to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Management Team is led by Ezra Gardner, our Chief Executive Officer, and Caroline Fu, our Chief Financial Officer. We must complete our initial Business Combination by (i) December 24, 2026, the end of our Combination Period, which is 21 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, (ii) such earlier liquidation date as our Board may approve or (iii) such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles. If our initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, our existence will terminate, and we will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account as described elsewhere in this Report. We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders 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, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their 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 suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team. 1 **Israeli Market** While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any region or industry, our target strategy draws on our unique access to Israeli companies where our Management Teams relationships are the deepest and they have a long-termtrack record of completing successful transactions Israel has emerged as one of the worlds leading hubs for technology and innovation. The measurement of research and development intensity identified by the Organization for Economic Co-operationand Development (OECD) in its Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation shows Israel leading the world consistently in its expenditure on research and development (as a percentage of gross domestic product). Research and development expenditure was approximately 4.0% of Israels gross domestic product in 2010, increasing to 6.0% of its gross domestic product as of 2022, the highest ratio in the world. As of April2023, the Israeli Innovation Authority states that there were 9,093 technology companies in Israel that raised money from investors throughout their existence. This places the Israeli startup ecosystem as the third largest globally in this measure, highlighting Israel as a prominent startup hub on a global scale. It also positions Israel with the highest number of startups per capita of any country globally. Israel stands out globally as a leader in business innovation, as highlighted in the 2023 Global Innovation Index, published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in partnership with INSEAD and Cornell University. The country ranks 6thglobally in Business Sophistication, and 5thin Knowledge and Technology Outputs. Israels long history of cutting-edgeresearch is underpinned by supportive government policy including consistent support of the incubator programs in key sectors, grants for certain research and development and an attractive tax regime. Israels higher education system is also well positioned to support further growth in key sectors. Israel has one of the highest number of scientists and published research papers per capita in the world. Our industries of focus include verticals where our Management Teams partners have historically invested and collaborated successfully. In particular, our Management Team believes their past experiences in the areas of mobility and electric vehicles, autonomy and robotics, agricultural technologies and financial technology will provide access to a significant number of potential Business Combination targets in these sectors. We are focusing our search on potential targets with a clear competitive advantage over other companies in their field. We believe businesses in high growth market segments with a business model that creates barriers to entry through disruptive technology will continue to produce attractive returns to investors. We believe there exist numerous privately held Israeli companies that are suitable to go public. Our Management Team believes many of these companies would benefit from additional capital that cannot be easily accessed in the private markets and are therefore open to engaging in a value-addedtransaction with an attractive counterparty, like our Company. **Our Management Team and Board** Our Management Team is led by Ezra Gardner, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, and Caroline Fu, our Chief Financial Officer. Together, our Management Team has decades of successful co-investingthrough their affiliated entities. In November2020, Ezra Gardner and Omri Cherni worked together as executive officers or members of the Board of Directors of GesherI Acquisition Corp. (GesherI), a SPAC formed for substantially similar purposes as ours. GesherI completed its initial public offering in March2021 in which it sold 10,000,000units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one-halfof one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, for an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating aggregate proceeds of $100,000,000. On January25, 2023, GesherI consummated a Business Combination with Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (Freightos). Each Freightos ordinary share was valued at $10.00 per share based on a $390,000,000 valuation. In connection with the acquisition, approximately 89.5% of GesherIs Public Shares were redeemed. On March 25, 2026, the closing price of the Freightos Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq was $1.52 per share. Our Board of Directors includes five independent directors. The Board is led by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ezra Gardner, and consists of industry leaders and investors. Each brings diversity of experience, perspective and industry contact that when combined create a distinguished Board of Directors. We believe that these relationships and our Management Teams experience present a significant opportunity to help identify attractive target businesses. 2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, past performance of our Management Team and Board is not a guarantee either (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial Business Combination or (ii)of success with respect to any Business Combination we may consummate. Our Public Shareholders should not rely on the historical performance record of our Management Team and Board as indicative of our future performance. Additionally, in the course of their respective careers, members of our Management Team and Board have been involved in businesses and deals that were unsuccessful. In addition, our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest with other entities to which they owe fiduciary or contractual obligations with respect to initial Business Combination opportunities. **Our Sponsor** **** Our Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed in August2024 to invest in our Company. Although our Sponsor is permitted to undertake any activities permitted under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and other applicable law, our Sponsors business is focused on investing in our Company. Gesher ManagementII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the sole managing member of our Sponsor and holds voting and investment control with respect to the securities held of record by the Sponsor. Mr.Ezra Gardner, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole managing member of Gesher ManagementII, LLC.Other than Mr.Gardner, no other person has, or will have, voting and investment control or a direct or indirect material interest in our Sponsor. Our independent directors have received an indirect interest in an aggregate of up to 25,000 Founder Shares through membership interests in our Sponsor, but have no right to control the Sponsor or participate in any decision regarding the disposal of any security held by the Sponsor, or otherwise. Other than Mr. Gardner, Ms. Fu and our independent directors, none of the other members of our Sponsor participate in our Companys activities. Following the Initial Public Offering, Mr.Gardner controls Sponsor membership interests through the managing member of the Sponsor reflecting indirect interests in (i) 83.7% of the total of 5,513,483 Founder Shares (equaling 4,613,028 Founder Shares) and (ii) 71.3% of the total of 565,625 Private Placement Units (equaling 403,125 Private Placement Units). Because our Sponsor acquired the Founder Shares at a nominal price of $0.005 per share, our Public Shareholders incurred immediate and material dilution upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the Warrants. Further, the ClassA Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the Founder Shares may result in material dilution to our Public Shareholders due to the anti-dilutionrights of our Founder Shares that may result in an issuance of ClassA Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-for-onebasis upon conversion. Additionally, our Public Shareholders may experience material dilution from the exercise of the 282,813 Private Placement Warrants exercisable into 282,813 ClassA Ordinary Shares, which Private Placement Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis along with the Public Warrants under the circumstances specified in the Warrant Agreement. Further, our Public Shareholders may experience material dilution if the $1,500,000 in Working Capital Loans is fully advanced by the Sponsor and the Sponsor elects to convert the Working Capital Loans into Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, resulting in the Sponsor receiving an additional 150,000 Private Placement Shares and 75,000 Private Placement Warrants exercisable at $11.50 per ClassA Ordinary Share underlying the Private Placement Units. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into ClassA Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-onebasis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional ClassA Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linkedsecurities, 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 ClassB Ordinary Shares convert into ClassA Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding ClassB Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of ClassA Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all ClassB Ordinary Shares equals, in the aggregate, 27.72% of the sum of (i)the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Private Placement Shares underlying the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii)all ClassA Ordinary Shares and equity-linkedsecurities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linkedsecurities 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 our officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) minus (iii)any redemptions of ClassA Ordinary Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-onebasis. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our Public Shareholders may also suffer significant dilution. This dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilutionprovision of the Founder Shares result in the issuance of ClassA Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-for-onebasis upon conversion of the Founder Shares at the time of our initial Business Combination. 3 In addition, in order to facilitate our initial Business Combination as determined by our Sponsor in its sole discretion, our Sponsor may surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange our Founder Shares, Private Placement Units or any of our other securities, including for no consideration, as well as subject any such securities to earn-outsor other restrictions, or otherwise amend the terms of any such securities or enter into any other arrangements with respect to any such securities. We may also issue ClassA Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the ClassB Ordinary Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-oneat the time of our initial Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilutionprovisions as set forth therein. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement entered into with us, each of our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to a lock-upand restrictions on their ability to transfer, assign, or sell the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units and securities underlying the Private Placement Units. Further, the Sponsor membership interests (including the interests held by the non-managingmembers) are locked up and not transferable because the Letter Agreement prohibits indirect transfers. Our Letter Agreement may be amended without shareholder approval. Such transfer restrictions have been amended in connection with Business Combinations for certain other special purpose acquisition companies. While we do not expect our Board to approve any amendment to the Letter Agreement prior to our initial Business Combination, it may be possible that our Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the Letter Agreement. **** **Business Combination Criteria** Consistent with our business strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. We use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities, but we may decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that does not meet some or all of these criteria and guidelines. In evaluating a prospective target business, our Management considers a variety of factors, including one or more of the following: | | financial condition and results of operation; | | | | growth potential; | | | | brand recognition and potential; | | | | experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; | | | | capital requirements; | | | | competitive position; | | | | barriers to entry; | | | | stage of development of the products, processes or services; | | | | existing distribution and potential for expansion; | | | | degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services; | | | | proprietary aspects of products and the extent of intellectual property or other protection for products or formulas; | | | | impact of regulation on the business; | | | | regulatory environment of the industry; | | | | costs associated with effecting the Business Combination; | | | | industry leadership, sustainability of market share and attractiveness of market industries in which a target business participates; and | | | | macro competitive dynamics in the industry within which the company competes. | | 4 These criteria and guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial Business Combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general criteria and guidelines, as well as other considerations, factors, criteria and guidelines that our Management may deem relevant in effecting a Business Combination consistent with our business objective. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria and guidelines in our shareholder communications related to our initial Business Combination, which, as discussed in this Report, would be in the form of tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials that we would file with the SEC. **Initial Business Combination** **** We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following the Initial Public Offering. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing. We may seek to complete our initial Business Combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses. We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination either (i)in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii)without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only if we receive an Ordinary Resolution. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our 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 us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. We have until December 24, 2026, or until such earlier liquidation date as our Board of Directors may approve, to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within such Combination Period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension, our Public Shareholders will be offered an opportunity 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, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or by such earlier liquidation date as our Board of Directors may approve, we will redeem 100% of 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 thereon (less taxes, if any, payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law and certain conditions as further described herein. While the pro rata Redemption Price was approximately $10.35 per Public Share as of December 31, 2025 we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors, which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. The Nasdaq Rules require that we must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the Deferred Fee and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account, if any, and such test, the 80% Test). Our Board of Directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial Business Combination. If our Board of Directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial Business Combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it likely that our Board of Directors will be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial Business Combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of the targets assets or prospects. Additionally, pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors. 5 We anticipate structuring our initial Business Combination so that the post-transactioncompany in which our Public Shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial Business Combination such that the post-transactioncompany owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transactioncompany 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. Even if the post-transactioncompany owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transactioncompany, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the Business Combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new Ordinary Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new Ordinary Shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares subsequent to our initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transactioncompany, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% Test. If the Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% Test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. **** **Potential Additional Financings** We may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our Public Shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Further, as described above, due to the anti-dilutionrights of our Founder Shares, our Public Shareholders may incur material dilution. In addition, we target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by Public Shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial Business Combination. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linkedsecurities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. **** **Status as a Public Company** We believe our structure makes us an attractive Business Combination partner to target businesses. As an existing public company, we offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other Business Combination with us. In a Business Combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock or shares in the target business for our ClassA Ordinary Shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our ClassA Ordinary Shares and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers. We believe target businesses will find this method a more expeditious and cost-effectivemethod to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical Business Combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses and market and other uncertainties in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, marketing and road show efforts that may not be present to the same extent in connection with a Business Combination with us. 6 Furthermore, once a proposed initial Business Combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay or prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial Business Combination, we believe the target business would then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with shareholders interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a companys profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees. While we believe that our structure and our Management Teams backgrounds make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder approval of any proposed initial Business Combination, negatively. **Financial Position** **** With funds available for a Business Combination as of December 31, 2025 in the amount of $148,724,491 (before redemptions, taxes payable on the interest earned, if any, and payment of the Deferred Fee), we offer a target business a variety of options, such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial Business Combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us. **Sources of Target Businesses** **** We believe our Management Teams significant operating and transaction experience and relationships provide us with a substantial number of potential initial Business Combination targets. Over the course of their careers, the members of our Management Team have developed a broad network of contacts and corporate relationships around the world. This network has grown through the activities of our Management Team sourcing, acquiring and financing businesses, the reputation of our Management Team and Senior Advisors for integrity and fair dealing with sellers, financing sources and target management teams and the experience of our Management Team in executing transactions under varying economic and financial market conditions. This network has provided our Management Team with a flow of referrals that has resulted in numerous transactions that were proprietary or where a limited group of investors were invited to participate in the sale process. We believe that the network of contacts and relationships of our Management Team provide us important sources of investment opportunities. In addition, target Business Combination candidates are brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment market participants, private equity funds and large business enterprises seeking to divest non-coreassets or divisions. We have not contacted any of the prospective target businesses that our Management Team in their prior SPACs had considered and rejected as target businesses to acquire. However, we may contact such targets if we become aware that such targets are interested in a potential initial Business Combination with us and such transaction would be attractive to our shareholders. Accordingly, there is no current basis for our shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial Business Combination. In addition, target business candidates are brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read our Initial Public Offering prospectus and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates of which they become aware through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finders fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arms length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. 7 Prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, there may be payment by us to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, of a finders fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial Business Combination, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, will be paid from funds held outside the Trust Account. We engage a finder only to the extent our Management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our Management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finders fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the Trust Account. We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, non-managingSponsor investors, or completing the Business Combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors or non-managingSponsor investors. In the event we seek to complete our initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our Amended and Restated Articles) with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial Business Combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context. In addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other SPACs similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial Business Combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present Business Combination opportunities to us or to any other SPACs with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial Business Combination target, which could materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination. Each of our directors and officers, directly or indirectly, owns Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Units following the Initial Public Offering and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial Business Combination. Further, such officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular Business Combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial Business Combination. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a Business Combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a Business Combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our Amended and Restated Articles provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i)no individual serving as a director or an officer, among other persons, shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us, and (ii)we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which (a)may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other or (b)the presentation of which would breach an existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other entity. As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors could materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination. **Evaluation of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination** **** In evaluating a prospective target business, we conduct a due diligence review that encompasses, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information that is made available to us. If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the Business Combination transaction. We also utilize our Management Teams operational and capital planning experience. 8 The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial Business Combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial Business Combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another Business Combination. Because there are numerous special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial Business Combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms. Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns (including a negative public perception of mergers involving SPACs), geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close Business Combinations or operate targets post-Business Combination. Thus, our ability to identify and evaluate a target company may be impacted by significant competition among other special purpose acquisition companies in pursuing Business Combination transaction candidates and significant competition may impact the attractiveness of the acquisition terms that we will be able to negotiate. **Lack of Business Diversification** **** For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial Business Combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete Business Combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial Business Combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may: | | subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial Business Combination, and | | | | cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services. | | **Limited Ability to Evaluate the Targets Management Team** **** Although we closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial Business Combination with that business, our assessment of the target businesss management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our Management Team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our Management Team will remain with the combined company will be made in connection with our initial Business Combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial Business Combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we cannot assure our shareholders that members of our Management Team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business. Following a Business Combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure our shareholders that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management. **Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination** **** We may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or stock exchange rule, or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons. Under the Nasdaq Rules, shareholder approval would be required for our initial Business Combination if, for example: | | we issue Ordinary Shares that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of our Ordinary Shares then outstanding (other than in a public offering); | | 9 | | any of our directors, officers or substantial shareholders (as defined by the Nasdaq Rules) has a 5% or greater interest earned on the Trust Account (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares could result in an increase in outstanding Ordinary Shares or voting power of 5% or more; or | | | | the issuance or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares will result in our undergoing a change of control. | | The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination in those instances in which shareholder approval is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on business and legal reasons, which include a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: (i)the timing of the transaction, including in the event we determine shareholder approval would require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek shareholder approval or doing so would place us at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other additional burdens on us; (ii)the expected cost of holding a shareholder vote; (iii)the risk that the shareholders would fail to approve the proposed Business Combination; (iv)other time and budget constraints of our Company; and (v)additional legal complexities of a proposed Business Combination that would be time-consumingand burdensome to present to shareholders. **Permitted Purchases of Our Securities** **** If we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates may purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial Business Combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgment that such Public Shareholder, although still the record holder of our Public Shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling Public Shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. It is intended that, if Rule10b-18would apply to purchases by Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule10b-18under the ExchangeAct, to the extent it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of our initial Business Combination or not redeem their Public Shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in such transactions. The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1)increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination, (2)reduce the number of Public Warrants outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the Public Warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial Business Combination or (3)satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial Business Combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public float of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. Our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the Public Shareholders with whom our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the Public Shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by Public Shareholders (in the case of Public Shares) following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates enter into a private transaction, they would identify and contact only potential selling or redeeming Public Shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial Business Combination, whether or not such Public Shareholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial Business Combination but only if such Public Shares have not already been voted at the general meeting related to our initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates will select from which Public Shareholders to purchase Public Shares based on the negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will be restricted from purchasing Public Shares if such purchases do not comply with RegulationM under the ExchangeAct and the other federal securities laws. 10 Our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates are restricted from making purchases of Public Shares if the purchases would violate Section9(a)(2)or Rule10b-5of the ExchangeAct. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section13 and Section16 of the ExchangeAct to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our Sponsor, directors, officers and their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule14e-5under the ExchangeAct including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following: | | our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our Business Combination transaction would disclose the possibility that our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates may purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases; | | | | if our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process; | | | | our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our Business Combination transaction would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction; | | | | our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to our securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and | | | | we would disclose in a Current Report on Form8-K, before our general meeting of shareholders to approve the Business Combination transaction, the following material items: | | | | the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates, along with the purchase price; | | | | the purpose of the purchases by our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates; | | | | the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination transaction will be approved; | | | | the identities of our security holders who sold to our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our Sponsor, directors, officers, Advisor and their affiliates; and | | | | the number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer. | | **** **Redemptions in Connection with Our Initial Business Combination** **Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination** **** We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, our initial Business Combination, upon the completion of our initial Business Combination at a per-shareprice, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of twobusinessdays 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 and on the conditions described herein. As of December 31, 2025, the Redemption Price was approximately $10.35 per Public Share (before taxes payable, if any). The per share amount we will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the Deferred Fee we will pay to the Underwriters. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination. 11 Our proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i)cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii)cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii)the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares, and all Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linkedsecurities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements into which we may enter, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements. **Manner of Conducting Redemptions** **** We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination either (i)in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii)without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our 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 us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules). Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our Company (other than with a 90% subsidiary of ours) and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or seek to amend our Amended and Restated Articles would require shareholder approval. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of the Nasdaq Rules. The requirement that we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed above is contained in provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles and will apply whether or not we maintain our registration under the ExchangeAct or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended if approved by a Special Resolution. If we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, we will, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles: | | conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation14A of the ExchangeAct, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and | | | | file proxy materials with the SEC. | | In the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial Business Combination. 12 If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only if we receive an Ordinary Resolution. However, if our initial Business Combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, the approval of our initial Business Combination will require a Special Resolution. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders of at least one third of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Our Sponsor, officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiatedtransactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule14e-5under the ExchangeAct, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of our initial Business Combination. As a result, if all outstanding Ordinary shares are voted on a resolution to approve our initial Business Combination, in addition to our Sponsors 5,513,483 Founder Shares and 403,125 Private Placement Shares, if we would require an Ordinary Resolution, we would need 4,310,447 Public Shares, or 29.99% of the 14,375,000 Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, and if we would require a Special Resolution of two-thirdsof our Ordinary Shares voted at the meeting, we would need 7,719,465 Public Shares, or approximately 53.70% of the 14,375,000 Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to have our initial Business Combination approved, assuming in each case that the parties to the Letter Agreement do not acquire any Public Shares. Assuming that only the holders of one-thirdof our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, representing a quorum under our Amended and Restated Articles, vote their Ordinary Shares, regardless if such vote pertains to an Ordinary Resolution or a Special Resolution of two-thirdsof our Ordinary Shares voted at the meeting, we would not need any Public Shares in addition to our Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to approve an initial Business Combination. In addition, prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our ClassB Ordinary Shares have the right to vote (i) to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination and (ii)on continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to amend our 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). These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our Sponsor, officers and directors, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial Business Combination. Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or vote against the proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction. If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will: | | conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule13e-4and Regulation14E of the ExchangeAct, which regulate issuer tender offers, and | | | | file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation14A of the ExchangeAct, which regulates the solicitation of proxies. | | In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20businessdays, in accordance with Rule14e-1(a)under the ExchangeAct, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial Business Combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than the number of Public Shares we are permitted to redeem. If Public Shareholders tender more Public Shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial Business Combination. Upon the public announcement of our initial Business Combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we, or our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule10b5-1to purchase our Public Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule14e-5under the ExchangeAct. We intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their Public Shares in street name, to, at the holders option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to twobusinessdays prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent twobusinessdays prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such Public Shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to our Public Shareholders in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming Public Shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial Business Combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates or Public Shares delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares. 13 Our proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i)cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii)cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii)the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares, and all Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linkedsecurities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements into which we may enter, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements. **Limitation on Redemptions Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval** **** If we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Amended and Restated Articles provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a group (as defined under Section13 of the ExchangeAct), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering (the Excess Shares) without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage Public Shareholders from accumulating large blocks of Public Shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed Business Combination as a means to force us or our Management to purchase their Public Shares at a significant premium to the then-currentmarket price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such Public Shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our Management at a premium to the then-currentmarket price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our Public Shareholders ability to redeem no more than 15% of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of Public Shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, particularly in connection with a Business Combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we will not restrict our Public Shareholders ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial Business Combination. **Delivering Share Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights** **** As described above, we intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their Public Shares in street name, to, at the holders option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to twobusinessdays prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent twobusinessdays prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such Public Shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to our Public Shareholders in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a Public Shareholder would have up to twobusinessdays prior to the scheduled vote on the initial Business Combination if we distribute proxy materials, or from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its Public Shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that a Public Shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for Public Shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referencedprocess and the act of certificating the Public Shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering Public Shares a fee of approximately $100.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require Public Shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to submit or tender their Public Shares. The need to deliver Public Shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated. 14 Any request to redeem such Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such Public Shareholder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to our Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial Business Combination. If our initial Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares. If our initial Business Combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a Business Combination with a different target until the end of the Combination Period. **Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination** **** Our Amended and Restated Articles provide that we have only the duration of the Combination Period to complete our initial Business Combination. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within such time period, we will (i)cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii)as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than tenbusinessdays thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the Public Shares, at a per-shareprice, 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes, if any, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstandingPublic 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 our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; although, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account. However, if our Sponsor or Management Team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have also agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articlesto modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders rights or pre-initialBusiness Combination activity, in each case unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-shareprice, 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), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,093,209 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of December 31, 2025), although we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses. 15 If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, the Redemption Price upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.35 as of December 31, 2025. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure our Public Shareholders that the actual per-shareredemption amount received by Public Shareholders will not be substantially less than the Redemption Price. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure our shareholders that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors claims. Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our Management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if Management believes that such third partys engagement would be in our best interests under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by Management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where Management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Withum, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the Underwriters did not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. To protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for our independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we have 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)$10.03 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 $10.03 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, if any, 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 our indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsors only assets are securities of our Company. Therefore, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.03 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination, and our Public Shareholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of their Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i)$10.03 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 $10.03 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, in each case less taxes payable, if any, and (y) up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-shareredemption price will not be less than $10.03 per Public Share. 16 We seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2025, we had access to up to approximately $1,093,209 from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors. If we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure our Public Shareholders we will be able to return $10.03 per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy/insolvency laws as either a preferential transfer or a fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition. As a result, a liquidator or bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our Board of Directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our Company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure our shareholders that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. Our Public Shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i)in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, (ii)in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Articlesto modify (x) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (y) any other material provisions relating to shareholders rights or pre-initialBusiness Combination activity or (iii)if they redeem their respective Public Shares for cash upon the completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable law and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) created by the terms of the proposed Business Combination. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial Business Combination, a Public Shareholders voting in connection with the Business Combination alone will not result in a Public Shareholders redeeming its Public Shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such Public Shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles, like all provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles, may be amended with a shareholder vote. **** **Competition** In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial Business Combination, we encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other SPACs, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting Business Combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our Public Shareholders who exercise or are forced to exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial Business Combination and our issued and outstanding Warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial Business Combination. **Employees** **** We currently have two officers: Mr. Ezra Gardner, our Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Caroline Fu, our Chief Financial Officer. Neither of them is obligated to devote any specific number ofhours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial Business Combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period varies based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial Business Combination and the stage of the Business Combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. 17 **Periodic Reporting and Financial Information** **** We have registered our Public Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants under the ExchangeAct and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC.In accordance with the requirements of the ExchangeAct, our annual reports, including this Report, contain financial statements audited and reported on by Withum, our independent registered public accountant. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial Business Combination. We will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial Business Combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure our shareholders that any particular target business identified by us as a potential Business Combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential Business Combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material. We are required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December31, 2026 as required by the Sarbanes-OxleyAct. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-OxleyAct may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such Business Combination. We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 30years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i)on or in respect of our Ordinary Shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii)by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us. We are an emerging growth company, as defined in Section2(a)of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 Section404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-bindingadvisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile. In addition, Section107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section7(a)(2)(B)of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to continue to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1)the lastday of the fiscal year (a)following March 24, 2030, (b)in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235billion, or (c)in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ClassA Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliatesexceeds $700million as of the prior June30, and (2)the date on which we have issued more than $1.0billion in non-convertibledebt securities during the prior three-yearperiod. We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in Item10(f)(1)of RegulationS-K.Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only twoyears of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the lastday of the fiscal year in which (1)the market value of our ClassA Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliatesequals or exceeds $250million as of the end of that years second fiscal quarter, or (2)our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ClassA Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliatesexceeds $700million as of the end of that years second fiscal quarter. In addition, prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, only holders of our ClassB Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on (i) the appointment or removal of directors and (ii) an amendment to continue our existence in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands. As a result, Nasdaq considers us to be a controlled company within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under Nasdaq corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the appointment of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemption, but may do so in the future. Accordingly, if we choose to do so, our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. 18 **Item 1A. Risk Factors.** As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, the following are brief descriptions of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us and our operations: **Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination** | | | we are a blank check company with no operating history and no operating revenues, and our shareholders have a limited basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is completing an initial Business Combination; | | | | | we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination, within the Combination Period, in which case we would liquidate and redeem our Public Shares; | | | | | we may seek Business Combination opportunities with a high degree of complexity that require significant operational improvements, which could delay or prevent us from achieving our desired results; | | | | | we may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular Business Combination; | | | | | we may issue our Ordinary Shares to our shareholders in connection with our initial Business Combination at a price that is less than the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares at that time; | | | | | our Public Shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial Business Combination, and even if we hold a vote, holders of our Founder Shares will participate in such vote, which means we may complete our initial Business Combination even though a majority of our Public Shareholders do not support such a combination; | | | | | as the number of SPACs evaluating targets increases, attractive targets may become scarcer and there may be more competition for attractive targets, or such attractive targets may not be interested in consummating a Business Combination with a SPAC due to a negative public perception of mergers involving SPACs. This could increase the cost of our initial Business Combination and could even result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | we may attempt to simultaneously complete Business Combinations with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to complete our initial Business Combination and give rise to increased costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations and profitability; | | | | | we may engage one or more of the Underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, which may include acting as mergers and acquisitions advisor in connection with an initial Business Combination or as placement agent in connection with a related financing transaction. The Underwriters are entitled to receive the Deferred Fee that will be released from the Trust Account only upon completion of an initial Business Combination. These financial incentives may cause the Underwriters to have potential conflicts of interest in rendering any such additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, including, for example, in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial Business Combination; | | | | | we may attempt to complete our initial Business Combination with a private company about which little information is available, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all; | | | | | resources could be wasted on researching Business Combinations targets that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our Public Shareholders may receive only the Redemption Price, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our Warrants will expire worthless; | | 19 | | | recent fluctuations in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | changes in laws or regulations (including the adoption of policies by governing administrations), or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations; | | | | | certain agreements related to the Initial Public Offering may be amended, or their provisions waived, without shareholder approval; | | | | | changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for an initial Business Combination target or the performance or business prospectsof a post-Business Combination company; | | | | | adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our Business Combination prospects; | | | | | cyber incidents or attacks directed at us or third parties could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss, as well as impact our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | if we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination; | | | | | if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor and Management Team have agreed to vote in favor of such initial Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote. As such, under certain circumstances, we may not need any Public Shares in addition to Founder Shares to be voted in favor of our initial Business Combination to approve an initial Business Combination; | | | | | our Public Shareholders only opportunity to effect their investment decision regarding a potential Business Combination may be limited to the exercise of their right to redeem their Public Shares from us for cash; | | | | | the ability of our Public Shareholders to redeem their Public Shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential Business Combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a Business Combination with a target; | | | | | the ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Ordinary Shares and the payment of the Deferred Fee may not allow us to complete the most desirable Business Combination or optimize our capital structure, and may materially dilute Public Shareholders investment in us; | | | | | the ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Ordinary Shares could increase the probability that our initial Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that our Public Shareholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their Public Shares; | | | | | the requirement that we complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating a Business Combination and may limit the time we have in which to conduct due diligence on potential Business Combination targets, in particular as we approach the end of the Combination Period, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial Business Combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders; | | | | | we may decide not to extend the Combination Period, in which case we would liquidate and redeem our Public Shares, and the Warrants would be worthless; | | | | | if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed Business Combination and reduce the public float of our Public Shares or Public Warrants; | | 20 | | | if a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem their Public Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering their Public Shares, such Public Shares may not be redeemed; | | | | | our Public Shareholders will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to our shareholders of other blank check companies subject to Rule419 of the Securities Act; | | | | | if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if a shareholder or a group of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our Class A Ordinary Shares, they may lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 15% of our ClassA Ordinary Shares; | | | | | because of our limited resources and the significant competition for Business Combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Shareholders, and our Warrants will expire worthless; | | | | | if the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not being held in the Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the duration of the Combination Period, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial Business Combination, and we will depend on loans from our Sponsor or Management Team to fund our search and to complete our initial Business Combination; | | | | | if we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond December 24, 2026, before redemption from our Trust Account; | | | | | we may not hold an annual general meeting until after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, which could delay the opportunity for our Public Shareholders to discuss company affairs with Management, and the holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors or continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands until after the consummation of our initial Business Combination; | | | | | since only holders of our ClassB Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, Nasdaq considers us to be a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq Rules and, as a result, we may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements; | | | | | our Sponsorholds a substantial interest in us and may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that our Public Shareholders do not support; | | | | | because we are neither limited to evaluating a target business in a particular industry sector nor have we selected any target businesses with which to pursue our initial Business Combination, our shareholders are unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business operations; | | | | | we may seek Business Combination opportunities in industries or sectors that may be outside of our Managements areas of expertise; | | | | | although we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial Business Combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial Business Combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines; | | | | | we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, and consequently, our shareholders may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view; | | 21 | | | we may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares or preference shares to complete our initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial Business Combination. We may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained therein. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks; | | | | | unlike some other similarly structured SPACs, our Sponsor, officers and directors will receive additional Class A Ordinary Shares if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | we may engage in a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, directors or existing holders, which may raise potential conflicts of interest; | | | | | we may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a Business Combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our shareholders investment in us; | | | | | we may only be able to complete one Business Combination with the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business, and which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability; | | | | | we do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete our initial Business Combination when a substantial majority of our Public Shareholders do not agree; | | | | | because we must furnish our shareholders with financial statements of our Business Combination target, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial Business Combination with some prospective target businesses; | | | | | compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial Business Combination; | | | | | if our initial Business Combination involves a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States (or any subdivision thereof), the Excise Tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our Ordinary Shares after or in connection with such initial Business Combination; | | **Risks Relating to the Post-Business Combination Company** | | | the share price of the post-Business Combination company may be less than the Redemption Price of our Public Shares; | | | | | the officers and directors of an acquisition candidate may resign upon completion of our initial Business Combination. The loss of a Business Combination targets key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of ourpost-combinationbusiness; | | | | | subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our securities, which could cause our shareholders to lose some or all of their investment; | | | | | our Management may not be able to maintain control of a target business after our initial Business Combination. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business; | | | | | we may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may affect our initial Business Combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company; | | 22 | | | our initial Business Combination and our structure thereafter may not be tax-efficient to our shareholders and Warrant holders. As a result of our Business Combination, our tax obligations may be more complex, burdensome and/or uncertain; | | **Risks Relating to Acquiring or Operating a Business in Foreign Countries** | | | we may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination because such initial Business Combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements, including foreign investment regulations and review by government entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the UnitedStates, or may be ultimately prohibited; | | | | | if we effect our initial Business Combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may adversely affect us; | | | | | we may reincorporate in, or transfer by way of continuation to, another jurisdiction, which may result in taxes imposed on our shareholders or Warrant holders; | | | | | we may reincorporate in or transfer by way of continuation to another jurisdiction in connection with our initial Business Combination, and the laws of such jurisdiction may govern some or all of our future material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights; | | | | | we are subject to changing law and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk ofnon-compliance; | | | | | if our Management following our initial Business Combination is unfamiliar with United States securities laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws, which could lead to various regulatory issues; | | | | | exchange rate fluctuations and currency policies may cause a target business ability to succeed in the international markets to be diminished; | | | | | after our initial Business Combination, substantially all of our assets may be located in a foreign country and substantially all of our revenue will be derived from our operations in such country. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in the country in which we operate; | | **Risks Relating to our Management Team** | | | our officers and directors allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial Business Combination; | | | | | changes in the market for directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination; | | | | | we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and officers; | | | | | past performance by our Management Team, our advisors and their respective affiliates, including investments and transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in our Company; | | | | | we are dependent upon our officers and directors and their loss, or a reduction in the amount of time they can dedicate to our initial Business Combination, could adversely affect our ability to operate; | | | | | our ability to successfully effect our initial Business Combination and to be successful thereafter is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following our initial Business Combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combinationbusiness; | | 23 | | | our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular Business Combination, and a particular Business Combination may be conditioned on the retention or resignation of such key personnel. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our initial Business Combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular Business Combination is the most advantageous; | | | | | our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including other blank check companies, and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented; | | | | | members of our Management Team and Board of Directors have significant experience as founders, board members, officers, executives or employees of other companies. Certain of those persons have been, are currently, or may become, involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including related to those companies or otherwise. This may have an adverse effect on us, which may impede our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | members of our Management Team and affiliated companies may have been, and may in the future be, involved in civil disputes or governmental investigations unrelated to our business; | | **Risks Relating to our Securities and Shareholder Rights** | | | to mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time (based on our Management Teams ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate theinvestmentsheld in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we will likely receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than we would have had the Trust Account remained as initially invested, such that our Public Shareholders would receive less upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company than what they would have received had the investments not been liquidated; | | | | | our Public Shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their Public Shares; | | | | | if third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and theper-shareredemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than the Redemption Price; | | | | | our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders; | | | | | the securities in which we invest the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the interest income available for payment of taxes or reduce the value of the assets held in the Trust Account such that the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than the Redemption Price; | | | | | if, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and theper-share amount that would otherwise be received by our Public Shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced; | | | | | if, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a liquidator or a bankruptcy, insolvency or other court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our Board of Directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our Board of Directors and us to claims of punitive damages; | | | | | an active market for our public securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities, and our shareholders may have limited liquidity and trading; | | 24 | | | since our Sponsor, directors and officers and any other holder of our Founder Shares will lose their entire investment in us if our initial Business Combination is not completed (other than with respect to any Public Shares they may acquire during or after the Initial Public Offering), and because our Sponsor, officers and directors and any other holder of our Founder Shares may profit substantially even under circumstances in which our Public Shareholders would experience losses in connection with their investment, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular Business Combination target is appropriate for our initial Business Combination; | | | | | the value of the Founder Shares following completion of our initial Business Combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our Public Shares at such time is substantially less than the Redemption Price; | | | | | Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit our shareholders ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions; | | | | | our Public Shareholders do not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate their investment, they may be forced to sell their Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss; | | | | | our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per Founder Share and, accordingly, our Public Shareholders experience immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our ClassA Ordinary Shares; | | | | | the nominal purchase price paid by our Sponsor for the Founder Shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of the Public Shares upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination, and our Sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial Business Combination, even if the Business Combination causes the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to materially decline; | | | | | because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S.Federal courts may be limited; | | | | | after our initial Business Combination, it is possible that a majority of our directors and officers will live outside the UnitedStates and all of our assets will be located outside the UnitedStates; therefore, shareholders may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights; | | | | | provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our ClassA Ordinary Shares and could entrench Management; | | | | | our Amended and Restated Articles provide that the courts of the Cayman Islands will be the exclusive forums for certain disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for complaints against us or our directors, officers or employees; | | | | | whether a redemption of Public Shares will be treated as a sale of such ClassA Ordinary Shares for U.S.federal income tax purposes will depend on a shareholders specific facts; | | | | | we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the Public Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of ClassA Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Public Warrant could be decreased, all without shareholder approval; | | | | | the Warrant Agreement designatesthe courts of the State of NewYork or the UnitedStates District Court for the Southern District of NewYork as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our Warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our Company; | | 25 | | | a provision of the Warrant Agreement may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination; | | | | | our Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and make it more difficult to effectuate our initial Business Combination; | | | | | because each Unit containsone-half of one Warrant and only a whole Warrant may be exercised, the Units may be worth less than units of other SPACs; | | | | | Warrant holders will not be permitted to exercise their Warrants unless we register and qualify the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares or certain exemptions are available; | | | | | holders may only be able to exercise Public Warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances, and if they do so, they will receive fewer ClassA Ordinary Shares from such exercise than if they were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash; | | | | | holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands; | | | | | the grant of registration rights to our Sponsor, BTIG and other holders of our Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) may make it more difficult to complete our initial Business Combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our ClassA Ordinary Shares; | | | | | we may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to our U.S. shareholders; and | | | | | we are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies. | | For more detailed descriptions of these and other risks relating to our Company, see the section titled Risk Factors contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2025 First Quarter 10-Q and (iii) 2025 Second Quarter 10-Q. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors, other than as set forth below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. **We may seek to extend the Combination Period, which could reduce the amount held in our Trust Account and have adverse effects on our Company.** **** If we are unable to consummate our initial Business Combination on or before December 24, 2026, we may seek shareholder approval to extend the Combination Period by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. In such event, our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to have all or a portion of their Public Shares redeemed. Any redemptions will reduce the amount held in our Trust Account, the effect of which may adversely affect our ability to consummate our initial Business Combination and may also impair our ability to maintain our Nasdaq listing. **There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.** **** In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, Management has determined that our possible need for additional financing to enable us to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required to liquidate our Trust Account, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report were issued. 26 **Our search for an initial Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts in the Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East between United States, Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.** **** Our ability to find a potential target business and the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected by events that are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum products and related commodities, with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts, including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia 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 and geopolitical turmoil 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, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. Similarly, other events outside of our control, including natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may arise from time to time, and any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have disproportionate impacts to certain industries or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply chain), and may adversely affect the global economy or capital markets. Any of the abovementioned 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 conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination. The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted by these and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on acceptable terms or at all. 27 **Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.** Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a Business Combination target and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms, or at all. **Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.** Not applicable. **Item 1C. Cybersecurity.** Although, as a blank check company, we do not have any operations, we are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents. Among other things, the investments in our Trust Account and bank deposits may be vulnerable to such incidents, and we may depend on the digital technologies of third parties. We and third parties may be subject to cybersecurity attacks or security breaches. To the extent that we rely on the technologies of third parties, we depend upon the personnel and the processes of such third parties to protect against cybersecurity incidents, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, our Management Team will report to the Audit Committee and provide updates on the Management Teams incident response plan for addressing and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. We have not encountered any cybersecurity incidents since our Initial Public Offering. In addition to our own cybersecurity risks, any proposed Business Combination target, may have been subject to, or may in the future be subject to, cybersecurity incidents. **Item 2. Properties.** Our executive offices are located at 3141 Walnut Street, Suite 203b, Denver, Colorado 80205, and our telephone number is (212) 993-1560. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to an affiliate of our Sponsor for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations. **Item 3. Legal Proceedings.** To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such, or against any of our property. **Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.** Not applicable. 28 **PART II** **** **Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.** **(a) Market Information** Our Public Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants are each traded on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq under the symbols GSHRU, GSHR and GSHRW, respectively. Our Public Units commenced public trading on March 21, 2025, and our Public Shares and Public Warrants commenced separate public trading on May 12, 2025. **(b) Holders** On March 27, 2026, there were three holders of record of our Units, one holder of record of our Class A Ordinary Shares, one holder of record of our Class B Ordinary Shares and one holder of record of our Warrants. **(c) Dividends** We have not paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial Business Combination will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors at such time. In addition, our Board of Directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith. **(d) Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans** None. **(e) Performance Graph** As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by Regulation S-K Item 201(e). **(f) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities** Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $5,656,250. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. **(g) Use of Proceeds** For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our 2025 First Quarter 10-Q. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time. 29 **(h) Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers** There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by the Report. **Item 6. [Reserved]** **Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.** **Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements** All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as may, should, could, would, anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Managements current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. **Overview** We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 29, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Gesher Acquisition Sponsor II LLC. **** Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on target businesses located in Israel, particularly those that conduct business internationally in Asia, Europe or North America; however, we are not pursuing any target nor will we consummate an initial Business Combination with any entity that is incorporated, organized or has its principal business operations in China, Hong Kong or Macau. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful. **** Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on March 14, 2025. On March 24, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 14,375,000 Public Units, including 1,875,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $143,750,000. **** Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $5,656,250. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. **** Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $144,181,250 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. 30 We have until December 24, 2026 (21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, 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 our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders 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, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their 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 suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team. **Results of Operations** **** We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $3,473,428, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,543,241, offset by operating costs of $1,069,813. For the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $15,209, consisting entirely of formation and general administrative costs. **Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern** Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $144,181,250 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $8,409,601 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $5,031,250, and $503,351 of other offering costs. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $820,866. Net income of $3,473,428 was impacted by the interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,543,241 and payment of operation costs through the IPO Promissory Note of $37,574. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $211,373 of cash from operating activities. For the period from August 29, 2024 through December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $15,209 was impacted by the payment of accrued expenses. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $0 of cash from operating activities. 31 As of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $148,724,491 (including $4,543,241 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of income taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Teams ongoing assessment of all factors related to our 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. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash of $1,093,209 held outside of the Trust Account. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. Our liquidity needs through December 31, 2025 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account. **Promissory Note** Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 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 May 31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On March 24, 2025, we repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note amounting to $162,616. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available. **Working Capital Loans** In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such 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 such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. 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. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, 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. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. **Going Concern** **** In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after December 24, 2026. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. 32 **** **Contractual Obligations** **** We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows: ** *Administrative Services Agreement* Commencing on March 21, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement and $6,000 of which was used as compensation to Mr. Sagi Dagan, our former Chief Financial Officer, for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we incurred $$90,000 and $0, respectively, in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accrued expenses in the balance sheets of the financial statements included elsewhere this Report. ** *Underwriting Agreement* We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 24, 2025, the Underwriters fully exercised their Over-Allotment Option. The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $2,875,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Units offered in the Initial Public Offering) upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the base Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, which equates to $5,031,250, in the aggregate, following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Of the Deferred Fee, (i)2.0% shall be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash; (ii)up to an additional 1.0% shall be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash, based on the percentage of Public Shares outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination net of Public Shares submitted for redemption and net of any Public Shares held by Public Shareholders that have entered into any forward purchase agreements or other arrangements whereby we have a contractual obligation to repurchase such shares after the closing of the initial Business Combination; and (iii)up to 0.5% per Public Unit shall be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash, provided that we have the right, in our sole discretion, to reallocate all or some of such amount for the payment of expenses in connection such initial Business Combination. *Registration Rights Agreement* The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, BTIG may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. *Letter Agreement* Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. 33 Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. **Critical Accounting Estimates and Standards** The preparation of the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed. **Recent Accounting Standards** In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (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. Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. **Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.** We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item. **Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.** Reference is made to pages F-1 through F-20 comprising a portion of this Report, which are incorporated herein by reference. **Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.** None. **Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.** 34 **Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures** Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. **Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting** This Report does not include a report of Managements assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies. **** **Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting** Not applicable. **Item 9B. Other Information.** **Trading Arrangements** **** During the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule16a-1(f) promulgated under theExchange Act) adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item408(a)ofRegulation S-K. **Additional Information** None. **Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.** Not applicable. 35 **PART III** **** **Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.** **** **Directors and Executive Officers** **** As of the date of this Report, our directors and officers are as follows: | Name | | Age | | Position | | | Ezra Gardner | | 49 | | Chief Executive Officer and Chairman | | | Caroline Fu | | 41 | | Chief Financial Officer | | | Omri Cherni | | 42 | | Independent Director | | | Yevgeny Neginsky | | 48 | | Independent Director | | | David Bleustein | | 59 | | Independent Director | | | Kobi Marenko | | 53 | | Independent Director | | | Derek Jensen Sr. | | 53 | | Independent Director | | The experience of our directors and executive officers is as follows: **Ezra Gardner**has served as our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors since our inception.

Our Advisor is not under any fiduciary obligations to us nor is he a director or officer, and he does not perform board or officer functions. He also is not required to devote any specific amount of time to our efforts nor is he subject to the fiduciary requirements to which our Board members are subject. We may modify or expand our roster of advisors as we source potential Business Combination targets or create value in businesses that we may acquire. **** **Family Relationships** No family relationships exist between any of our directors or executive officers. **Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings** There are no material proceedings to which any director or executive officer has been involved in the last ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director or officer. **** **Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors** **** Our Board of Directors consists of six members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-yearterm. Prior to the closing of our initial Business Combination, only holders of our ClassB Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors or continuing our Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any Special Resolution required to amend our 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). Our Public Shareholders are not entitled to vote on such matters during such time. These provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles relating to these rights of holders of ClassB Ordinary Shares may be amended 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 our 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 our shareholders, voting together as a single class. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq.

The term of office of the second class of directors, which consists of Mr.Bleustein and Mr.Cherni, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, which consists of Mr.Gardner and Mr. Jensen, will expire at the third annual general meeting. 38 Our officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board of Directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles. **** **Committees of the Board of Directors** Our Board of Directors has established two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Subject to phase-inrules, the Nasdaq Rules and Rule10A-3of the ExchangeAct require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. **** **Audit Committee** **** Our Board of Directors has established the Audit Committee. Omri Cherni, Yevgeny Neginsky and David Bleustein serve as the members of our Audit Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the Audit Committee, all of whom must be independent. Omri Cherni, Yevgeny Neginsky and David Bleustein are each independent. Omri Cherni serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Mr.Cherni qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in applicable SEC rules. We have adopted Audit Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including: | | assisting board oversight of (1)the integrity of our financial statements, (2)our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3)our independent registered public accounting firms qualifications and independence, and (4)the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us; | | | | pre-approvingall audit and non-auditservices to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approvalpolicies and procedures; reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the independent registered public accounting firm have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence; | | | | setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1)the independent registered public accounting firms internal quality-controlprocedures and (2)any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-controlreview, or peer review, of the independent registered public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding fiveyears respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues; | | | | meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with Management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including reviewing our specific disclosures under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item404 of RegulationS-Kpromulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; | | 39 | | reviewing with Management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other regulatory authorities; | | | | advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the SEC Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the SEC Clawback Rule; and | | | | implementing and overseeing our cybersecurity and information security policies, and periodically reviewing the policies and managing potential cybersecurity incidents. | | **Compensation Committee** Our Board of Directors has established the Compensation Committee. The members of our Compensation Committee consist of David Bleustein, Kobi Marenko and Yevgeny Neginsky. Mr.Bleustein serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation committee of at least two members, all of whom must be independent. Yevgeny Neginsky, Kobi Marenko and David Bleustein are each independent. We have adopted a Compensation Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including: | | reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officers compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officers performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation; | | | | reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity-basedplans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers; | | | | reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans; | | | | implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-basedremuneration plans; | | | | assisting Management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements; | | | | approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees; | | | | producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and | | | | reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors. | | The charter also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC. 40 **** **Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee** We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or the Nasdaq Rules. In accordance with Rule5605(e)(2)of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Yevgeny Neginsky, David Bleustein, Kobi Marenko, Derek Jensen Sr. and Omri Cherni. In accordance with Rule5605(e)(1)(A)of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place. The Board of Directors also considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for appointment at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for appointment to our Board of Directors should follow the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated Articles. We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our Board of Directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders do not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors. **Code of Ethics** **** We have adopted the Code of Ethics. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules or the Nasdaq Rules, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only. The foregoing description of the Code of Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Code of Ethics, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14. **** **Trading Policies** On March 24, 2025 we adopted the Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq Rules. The foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19. **Item 11. Executive Compensation.** None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We are not prohibited from paying any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, including the following payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, have been and will continue be paid from funds held outside the Trust Account: | | Repayment of up to an aggregate of $300,000 in loans made to us by our Sponsor to cover offering-relatedand organizational expenses pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note; | | | | Reimbursement for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support made available to us by an affiliate of our Sponsor, in an amount equal to $10,000 per month, $6,000 of which was used as compensation to Mr. Sagi Dagan, our former Chief Financial Officer, for the year ended December 31, 2025, pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement; | | 41 | | Payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our independent directors, advisors, or their respective affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination; | | | | We may engage our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial Business Combination and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable transactions; | | | | Reimbursement for any out-of-pocketexpenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination; | | | | Repayment of Working Capital Loans that may be made by our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination. 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 (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Except for the foregoing, 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 | | | | Our independent directors have received an indirect interest in an aggregate of up to 25,000 Founder Shares through membership interests in our Sponsor. | | After the completion of our initial Business Combination, directors or members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting or Management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of Management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial Business Combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the Board of Directors for determination, either by the Compensation Committee or by a majority of the independent directors on our Board of Directors. We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our Management Team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial Business Combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our Managements motivation in identifying or selecting a target business. but we do not believe that the ability of our Management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial Business Combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential Business Combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. **Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy** On March 24, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Clawback Policy in order to comply with the SEC Clawback Rule, and the Nasdaq Rules, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. At no time during the fiscal year covered by this Report were we required to prepare an accounting restatement that required recovery of an erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to the Clawback Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 97. **** | Item 12. | Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters. | | The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of March 27, 2026 based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares, by: | | | each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; | | | | | each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and | | | | | all our executive officers and directors as a group. | | 42 In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 20,454,108 Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 14,940,625 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 5,513,483 Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of March 27, 2026.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.** On November12, 2024, our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share, to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for 5,513,483 Founder Shares. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 14,375,000units if the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 27.72% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering, not including the Private Placement Shares. Up to 622,231 of the Founder Shares were eligible to be surrendered for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On March 24, 2025, the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full and such Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. 44 Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $5,656,250. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor, BTIG or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Units (and the underlying securities and the ClassA Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) (i)may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, (ii) are entitled to registration rights and (iii)with respect to Private Placement Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units held by BTIG and/or its designees, are not exercisable more than fiveyears from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule5110(g)(8). Prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, there may be payment by us to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, of a finders fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial Business Combination, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, will be paid from funds held outside the Trust Account. Commencing on March 21, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement and $6,000 of which was used as compensation to Mr. Sagi Dagan, our former Chief Financial Officer. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we incurred $90,000 and $0, respectively, in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accrued expenses in the balance sheets of the financial statements included elsewhere this Report. Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 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 May 31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On March 24, 2025, we repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note amounting to $162,616. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such 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 such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. 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. The units (and underling securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underling securities). Other than as set forth above, 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. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. We have until the December 24, 2026, 21months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or until such earlier liquidation date as our Board of Directors may approve, to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension, our Public Shareholders will be offered an opportunity 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, including interest earned thereon (less income taxes, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law. Any of the foregoing payments to our Sponsor, including repayments of loans from our Sponsor pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note or repayments of any Working Capital Loans prior to our initial Business Combination, have been and will continue to be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. 45 After our initial Business Combination, members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, Management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial Business Combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combinationbusiness to determine executive and director compensation. The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, BTIG may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquired Public Shares in, or acquire Public Shares after, the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. **Director Independence** **** Nasdaq Rules require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. An independent director is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the companys board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Omri Cherni, Yevgeny Neginsky, David Bleustein, Kobi Marenko and Derek Jensen Sr. are independent directors as defined in the Nasdaq Rules and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. **Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.** The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Withum for services rendered. ** **Audit Fees** **** Audit fees consist of the aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the (audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Withum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Withum for professional services rendered for the (i) audit of our annual financial statements and (ii) review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 totaled approximately $103,000 and $0, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at Audit Committee meetings. 46 **Audit-Related Fees** Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under Audit Fees. These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. The aggregate audit-related fees paid to Withum for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were approximately $21,000 and $0, respectively, for services related to the issuance of consents. **Tax Fees** Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.The aggregate tax fees paid to Withum for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were approximately $6,000 and $0, respectively. **All Other Fees** All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for all other services.We did not pay Withum for any other services for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024. **Pre-Approval Policy** Our Audit Committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our Audit Committee were approved by our Board of Directors. Since the formation of our Audit Committee, and on a going-forward basis, the Audit Committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services performed and to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit). 47 **PART IV** **** **Item 15.

II: **Opinion on the Financial Statements** **** We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Gesher Acquisition Corp. II (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statements of operations, statements of changes in shareholders (deficit) equity and statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. **Going Concern** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by December 24, 2026, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC We have served as the Companys auditor since 2024.

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the Business Combination). As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not entered into a definitive agreement with any specific Business Combination target. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Companys formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, 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 on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December31 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 January 28, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-284552), was declared effective on March 14, 2025 (the IPO Registration Statement). On March 24, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 14,375,000 units (the Public Units), which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 1,875,000 Public Units (the Option Units), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000 (the Initial Public Offering), which is described in Note 3. Each Public Unit consists of oneClass A ordinary share, par value $0.0001per 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) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a Public Warrant). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 565,625 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 to (i) the Companys sponsor, Gesher Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the Sponsor), and (ii) BTIG, LLC (BTIG), the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the Underwriters), generating gross proceeds of $5,656,250 (the Private Placement), which is described in Note 4. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share (the Private Placement Shares) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the Private Placement Warrants and together with the Public Warrants, the Warrants). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Transaction costs amounted to $8,409,601, consisting of $2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $5,031,250, and $503,351 of other offering costs. The Business Combination must be with one 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, if any) 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 Actof1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. F-7 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on March 24, 2025, an amount of $144,181,250 ($10.03 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units, was placed in a Trust Account (the Trust Account), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (Continental), acting as trustee. The funds are initially invested only in U.S.government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule2a-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 the Company 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 Companys management teams (Management) ongoing assessment of all factors related to the potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental 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 interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its 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 December 24, 2026, 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Companys board of directors (the 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 Companys amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the Amended and Restated Articles) to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Companys 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. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Companys 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 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 of twobusiness 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 valued at $10.35 per Public Share as of December 31, 2025. The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 2) subject to possible redemption were recorded at a redemption value and were classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480). The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. 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 than tenbusiness 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 Companys obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law. F-8 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** The Sponsor and the Companys officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated March 20, 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 Companys 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)$10.03 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 $10.03 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, if any, 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 Companys indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Actof1933, 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 Sponsors only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot provide any assurance that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. **Liquidity and Going Concern** As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,093,209 of cash and a working capital surplus of $770,110. The Company has until December 24, 2026, to consummate the initial Business Combination (assuming no shareholder-approved extensions to the Combination Period). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles. Notwithstanding Managements belief that the Company would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that Business Combination might not happen within the Combination Period. In connection with the Companys assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, Going Concern, as of December 31, 2025, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Companys officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Companys working capital needs (the Working Capital Loans). Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. 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 December 24, 2026, there will be mandatory liquidation of the Company. Management has determined that the date of mandatory liquidation raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. F-9 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** **Resignation of Officer** On December 1, 2025, Sagi Dagan, the Companys chief financial officer (CFO) and a member of the Board, submitted a letter to the Board pursuant to which he notified them of his resignation, effective as of December 31, 2025, as both the Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company. Mr. Dagansresignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Companys operations, policies or practices. On December 2, 2025, the Board accepted the resignation of Mr. Dagan and appointed Caroline Fu as the Deputy CFO of the Company, effective as December 2, 2025, and as the CFO of the Company, effective January 1, 2026. **Note 2 Summary of 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 Status** The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section2(a)of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Actof2012 (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 Section404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, 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, Section102(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) 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 financial statements with another public company that is neither an (i) emerging growth company nor (ii) 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. 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 $1,093,209 and $0 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. F-10 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** **Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account** The Companys portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of185days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Companys investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities, which are presented at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of December 31, 2025, all of the assets held in the Trust Account, $148,724,491, were held in a money market fund and none of the assets were held in cash. As of December 31, 2024, there were no assets held in the Trust Account and assets held in cash. **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 Companys financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. **** **Offering Costs** The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, 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 ASCTopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Public Units between Public Shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were shared to shareholders (deficit) equity. Warrants, after Managements evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment. Transaction costs amounted to $8,409,601, consisting of $2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $5,031,250, and $503,351 of other offering costs. **Fair Value of Financial Instruments** The fair value of the Companys assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASCTopic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature. **Income Taxes** The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statements 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 Companys major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties, respectively. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. F-11 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** 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 UnitedStates. As such, the Companys tax provision was zero 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 (ASC 815). Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the Warrants will not be precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. **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 Companys 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 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 Public 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 December 31, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders (deficit) equity section of the accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying balance sheets are reconciled in the following table: | Gross proceeds | | $ | 143,750,000 | | | | Less: | | | | | | | Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants | | | (1,890,313 | ) | | | Class A Ordinary Shares issuance costs | | | (8,280,209 | ) | | | Plus: | | | | | | | Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | | | 15,145,014 | | | | Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 | | $ | 148,724,492 | | | **** **Net Income (loss) per Ordinary Share** The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company has two classes of Ordinary Shares, the (i) Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) Companys Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001per share (the Class B Ordinary Shares, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the Ordinary Shares). Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of Ordinary Shares. This presentation assumes a Business Combination as the most likely outcome. Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period. The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share for each class of Ordinary Shares: | | | | | | | | | ForthePeriodfrom | | | | | | | | | | | | August 29,2024 | | | | | | For the Year Ended | | | (Inception)through | | | | | | December 31, 2025 | | | December31,2024 | | | | | | Class A | | | Class B | | | Class A | | | Class B | | | | Basic net income (loss) per Ordinary Share | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Numerator: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocation of net income (loss), as adjusted | | $ | 2,372,746 | | | $ | 1,100,682 | | | $ | | | | $ | (15,209 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Denominator: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basic weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding | | | 11,584,101 | | | | 5,373,694 | | | | | | | | 4,891,252 | | | | Basic net income (loss) per Ordinary Share | | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | | | | $ | (0.00 | ) | | F-12 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** | | | | | | | | | ForthePeriodfrom | | | | | | | | | | | | August 29,2024 | | | | | | For the Year Ended | | | (Inception)through | | | | | | December 31, 2025 | | | December31,2024 | | | | | | Class A | | | Class B | | | Class A | | | Class B | | | | Diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Numerator: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocation of net income (loss), as adjusted | | $ | 2,353,347 | | | $ | 1,120,081 | | | $ | | | | $ | (15,209 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Denominator: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Diluted weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding | | | 11,584,101 | | | | 5,513,483 | | | | | | | | 4,891,252 | | | | Diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share | | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | | | | $ | (0.00 | ) | | **Share-Based Compensation** **** The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Share Compensation (ASC 718), guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. **Recent Accounting Pronouncements** In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Topic 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.**** **Note3 Initial Public Offering** In the Initial Public Offering, on March 24, 2025, the Company sold 14,375,000 Public Units, which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option amounting to 1,875,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share, and one-half of one Public Warrant. **Note4 Private Placement** Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and BTIG purchased an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in the Private Placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one-half of one Private Placement Warrant. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per shares, subject to adjustments. Each Private Placement Warrant will become exercisable 30days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will not expire except upon liquidation. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the net proceeds from 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). F-13 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** The Private Placement Warrants contained in the Private Placement Unitsare identical to the Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except, the Private Placement Warrants (i)may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii)are entitled to registration rights and (iii)with respect to Private Placement Warrants held by BTIG, and/or its designees, are not exercisable more than fiveyears from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule5110(g)(8). **Note5 Related Party Transactions** **** **Founder Shares** **** On November12, 2024, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share, through payments of offering costs and expenses on the Companys behalf, for which the Company issued 5,513,483 Class B Ordinary Shares (the Founder Shares) to the Sponsor. Up to 622,231 of the Founder Shares were subject to surrender by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On March 24, 2025, the Underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 622,231 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Sponsor holds 5,198,483 Founder Shares, after giving effect to the Founder Share interest assignment described below. On March 5, 2025, the Sponsor granted membership interests equivalent to an aggregate of 315,002 Founder Shares to the five independent directors, the CFO, and two service providers, in exchange for their services as independent directors, CFO, and service providers, respectively, to the Company 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 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 315,002 Founder Shares represented by such membership interests assigned to the holders of such interests on March 5, 2025 was $472,500 or $1.50 per share. 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 December 31, 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 (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 and the Companys 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 Amended and Restated Articles; 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 Companys 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). F-14 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** **IPO Promissory NoteRelated 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 May31, 2025 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On March 24, 2025, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO Promissory Note amounting to $162,616. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available. **Administrative Services Agreement** The Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor, commencing on March 21, 2025 through the earlier of the Companys consummation of the initial Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support (the Administrative Services Agreement). and $6,000 of which was used as compensation to Mr. Sagi Dagan, our former CFO, for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $90,000 under the Administrative Services Agreement of fees which are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. For the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any payment for these services. **** **Working Capital 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 Companys 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 will 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. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding. **** **Note6 Commitments and Contingencies** **** **Risks and Uncertainties** **** The Companys ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control. The Companys 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, between the United States, Israel, and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. 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 Companys ability to complete an initial Business Combination. **** **Registration Rights Agreement** **** The holders of (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Units(and their underlying securities) and unitsthat 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 holders of the Founder Sharees 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 the Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 20, 2024, by and among the Company and certain security holders. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands and have piggyback registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. **** **Underwriting Agreement** **** The Underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the Over-Allotment Option). On March 24, 2025, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise their Over-Allotment Option to purchase an additional 1,875,000 Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Option Unit. F-15 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $2,875,000 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 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate, payable upon the closing of an initial Business Combination (the Deferred Fee). Of the Deferred Fee, (i)2.0% shall be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash; (ii)up to 1.0% shall be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash, based on the percentage of Public Shares outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination net of Public Shares submitted for redemption and net of any Public Shares held by Public Shareholders that have entered into any forward purchase agreements or other arrangements whereby the Company has a contractual obligation to repurchase such shares after the closing of the initial Business Combination; and (iii)up to 0.5% per Public Unit will be released to the Underwriters upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in cash, provided that the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to reallocate all or some of such amount for the payment of expenses in connection such initial Business Combination. **** **Note 7 Shareholders (Deficit) Equity** **** **Preference Shares** **** The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. **** **Class A Ordinary Shares** **** The Company is authorized to issue a total of 200,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025, there were 565,625 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, excluding the 14,375,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and no shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2024. **Class B Ordinary Shares** **** The Company is authorized to issue a total of 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 5,513,483 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 subdivisions, 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, 27.72% of the sum of (i) the total number of Ordinary 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 Private Placement Shares), 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 the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Companys 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 the 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. F-16 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to one 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 Companys 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 (a Special Resolution), 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. **** **Warrants** **** As of December 31, 2025, there were 7,470,313 Warrants outstanding, including 7,187,500 Public Warrants and 282,813 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00p.m., NewYork City time, fiveyears after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant, and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying such Unit. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated March 20, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental (the Warrant Agreement), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20business days, after the closing of its Business Combination, it 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 covering the registration under the Securities Actofthe Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) businessday after the closing of the initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section3(a)(9)of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a covered security under Section18(b)(1)of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section3(a)(9)of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. F-17 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y)the fair market value. The fair market value is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10trading days ending on the thirdtrading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants, as applicable. ** *Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00* The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants: | | in whole and not in part; | | | | at a price of $0.01 per Warrant; | | | | upon a minimum of 30days prior written notice of redemption; and | | | | if, and only if, the last reported sale priceof the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20trading days within a 30-tradingday period commencing at least 30days after completion of the initial Business Combination and ending on the thirdtrading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. | | **** Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i)the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii)the quotient of (x)the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y)the fair market value. For these purposes (i)if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii)fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10)trading day period ending on thetrading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. **Note8 Fair Value Measurements** The fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities reflects Managements 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 an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. | | F-18 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** The fair value of the Public Warrants is $1,890,313, or $0.263 per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders (deficit) equity 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 Warrants: | | | March 24, 2025 | | | | Current underlying unit price | | $ | 10.02 | | | | Market pricing adjustment | | | 5.0 | % | | | Strike price | | $ | 11.50 | | | | Redemption price | | $ | 18.00 | | | | Probability of a successful Business Combination | | | 15.0 | % | | | Risk-free rate | | | 4.04 | % | | The Company classifies its securities in the Trust Account that are invested in funds, such as mutual funds or money market funds, that primarily invest in U.S. government and equivalent securities as trading securities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320, InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair market value on the accompanying balance sheets. At December 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $148,724,491 in a mutual fund that is invested primarily in U.S. government securities. At December 31, 2024, there were no assets held in the Trust Account. | Description | | Level | | | December31, 2025 | | | December31, 2024 | | | | Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | Marketable securities held in Trust Account U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund | | 1 | | | $ | 148,724,491 | | | $ | | | | **Note 9 Segment Information** FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Companys CODM has been identified as the CFO, 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 only one 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 accompanying statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Companys performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following: | | | December31, | | | December31, | | | | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Marketable securities held in Trust Account | | $ | 148,724,491 | | | $ | | | | | Cash | | $ | 1,093,209 | | | $ | | | | | Total Assets | | $ | 149,922,149 | | | $ | 55,000 | | | F-19 **Gesher Acquisition Corp.II** **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** | | | For the Year Ended December 31, | | | For the Period from August 29, 2024 (Inception) through December 31, | | | | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | General and administrative costs | | $ | 1,069,813 | | | $ | 15,209 | | | | Interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account | | $ | 4,543,241 | | | $ | | | | The CODM reviews interest earned on the 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 March 20, 2025, by and between the Company and Continental. 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 expenses, as reported on the accompanying statements 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 accompanying statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
