Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, 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 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, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Israel-Hamas conflict 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 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 and increased cyberattacks 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.

 

Any of the above-mentioned 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 Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans have registration rights to require the Company to register for resale 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 signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. 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.

 

Underwriters’ Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 8, 2026, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 3,300,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit.

 

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.10 per Public Unit, or $2,530,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters paid the Company an aggregate amount of $632,500 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering as reimbursement to the Company for certain of its expenses and fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering and for expenses to be incurred by the Company following the Initial Public Offering as a public company. This reimbursement increased the proceeds available to the Company outside of the Trust Account.

 

The underwriters received compensation in addition to the underwriting discount, including 1,000,000 Representative Shares, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering for a purchase price of $1,000 or $0.001 per share (see Note 5).

 

Deferred Legal Fee

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of $58,629 of deferred legal fees incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering to be paid to the Company’s legal advisors upon consummation of the Business Combination. The deferred fee is classified as a non-current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Business Combination Marketing Fee

 

Pursuant to a business combination marketing agreement, the Company engaged BTIG as an advisor in connection with the initial Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities in connection with the initial Business Combination and assist with the Company’s financial analysis, presentations, press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay BTIG a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The fee shall be payable as follows: (i) 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering shall be payable in cash (or $2,530,000 in the aggregate) and (ii) 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering shall be paid to BTIG in cash based on the funds remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to public shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination (or $7,590,000 in the aggregate). If the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Completion Window and subsequently liquidate, BTIG has agreed that it will forfeit any rights or claims to the business combination marketing fee.

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.
