NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the holders of the Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and the underlying securities), pursuant to which such holders are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale.

 

The holders are entitled to make up to three demand registrations (excluding “short-form” registration demands). In addition, the holders have “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed following the completion of a Business Combination and the right to require the Company to register such securities for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration statement to become effective until the applicable securities are released from their lock-up restrictions.

 

In compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8), the registration rights granted to EBC are limited to demand and piggyback rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales in the IPO, and EBC may only exercise its demand rights on one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment option and delivered an over-allotment termination letter dated October 27, 2025. The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,200,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the IPO. The cash underwriting discount is included in offering costs (see Note 3).

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company engaged EBC to provide advisory services in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, including assisting with shareholder meetings and communications, introducing the Company to potential investors, supporting the shareholder approval process, and assisting with press releases and certain public filings related to the Business Combination. Upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company is obligated to pay EBC a success fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO (or $2,100,000), consisting of (i) 1.5% payable in cash (or $900,000) and (ii) 2.0% payable, at the Company’s option, in a convertible note with customary terms that is convertible into ordinary shares six months after consummation (or $1,200,000).

 

 

If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination, no success fee will be due. In addition, if the Company consummates its initial Business Combination with a target introduced by EBC, the Company will pay EBC a finder’s fee equal to 1.0% of the consideration issued to such target.

 

Because these amounts are contingent upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the Company has not recorded a liability for these fees as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company will evaluate recognition under ASC 450 as facts and circumstances change, including whether the consummation of an initial Business Combination becomes probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s search for an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by global economic conditions, including volatility in credit and capital markets, inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and heightened geopolitical instability (including conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East) and related sanctions or other governmental actions.

 

Any of these factors, or other negative impacts on the global economy or capital markets, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination and the operations of any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate a Business Combination. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
