NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, Venezuela, 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 Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated June 17, 2024, by and between the Company and certain security holders. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. 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 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On June 20, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Option Unit.

 

The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $4,000,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Units offered in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds from Units sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of (i) 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and (ii) 6.0% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, amounting to $9,800,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, dated June 17, 2024, by and between the Company and Cantor (the “Deferred Fee”).

 

Deferred Legal Fees

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred legal fees of $300,000 and $175,000, respectively, and $50,000 was paid on June 25, 2024. The remaining balance of $250,000 and $125,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, is recorded as deferred legal fees, which is payable upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

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.
