Insights
Large passive ownership disclosed across adviser and funds; ownership is split among multiple funds.
The filing attributes 1,425,000 shares (8.3%) to RP Investment Advisors LP (shared voting/dispositive power) and lists four funds with holdings ranging from 50,255 to 538,165 shares. All percentages are calculated from 17,250,000 shares outstanding as of February 27, 2026.
Beneficial ownership is presented at the adviser and fund level and is declared jointly; the filing includes standard disclaimers about group/beneficial ownership under Sections 13(d)/13(g). Subsequent filings would reveal any changes to these positions.
Disclosure shows shared voting/dispositive power rather than sole control for these holdings.
The cover pages report shared voting power and shared dispositive power for the adviser and funds (e.g., 1,425,000 shared for RP Investment Advisors). The joint filing language clarifies that this should not be construed as admission of group beneficial ownership.
Signatures by the adviser’s CEO accompany a Joint Filing Agreement (Exhibit 99.1), which is the customary governance disclosure for multi-entity holdings.

"Amendment No. 1 to a Schedule 13G/A reports institutional holdings"
A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.
shared voting powercorporate governance
"Shared Voting Power 1,425,000.00 reported on the cover page"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
beneficially ownedregulatory
"The Funds are the record and direct beneficial owners of the securities covered"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

What outstanding share base is used to calculate percentages?
Percentages are based on 17,250,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of February 27, 2026, as referenced in the filing and used for each percentage calculation.
Who signed the Schedule 13G/A amendment for these holdings?
The filing is signed by Richard Pilosof, Chief Executive Officer of RP Investment Advisors LP (by its general partner RP Investment Advisors GP Inc.), on behalf of the reporting persons, dated May 15, 2026.
Does the filing state the funds are sole beneficial owners?
The filing states that the Funds are the record and direct beneficial owners of the securities covered and that RP Investment Advisors is their investment advisor, with joint-filing disclaimers regarding Section 13(d)/13(g) beneficial ownership characterizations.
