Crown Reserve (NASDAQ: CRAC) details Carvix merger and large share earnouts
Crown Reserve Acquisition Corp. I reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $263,493, driven by $68,837 of general and administrative costs, $115,000 of professional fees and a $1,604,397 loss from the higher fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by $1,524,741 of dividends on Trust investments.
The SPAC held $174,928,579 in its U.S. Treasury-focused Trust Account as of March 31, 2026 and no operating cash, relying on its sponsor for working capital. Management highlights substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern if a business combination is not completed by the extended deadline of February 10, 2027.
On March 30, 2026, the company signed a Business Combination Agreement with Carvix. Carvix stockholders are slated to receive 50,000,001 shares at closing plus potential earnouts of up to 50,000,100 additional shares over four fiscal years from 2027, tied to EBITDA and revenue targets, while the sponsor may earn up to 3,000,000 additional shares. The merger remains subject to shareholder approvals, SEC effectiveness of an S-4, Nasdaq listing approval and minimum cash and timing conditions, with an Outside Date of September 30, 2026.

Insights
SPAC advances Carvix deal but remains early-stage with going concern risks.
Crown Reserve is still pre-revenue, with Q1 2026 activity limited to operating expenses and mark-to-market changes on warrants. The Trust Account grew to $174,928,579 through reinvested dividends, while the warrant liability increased to $3,023,463, creating non-cash losses.
The Business Combination Agreement with Carvix is substantial: legacy Carvix holders would receive 50,000,001 shares at closing plus up to 50,000,100 earnout shares over fiscal years beginning 2027, with additional sponsor earnouts up to 3,000,000 shares. Completion depends on shareholder approvals, SEC clearance of an S-4, Nasdaq listing, and a minimum cash condition.
Management explicitly notes substantial doubt about going concern because the SPAC has no cash outside the Trust and faces a liquidation deadline in February 2027 if no combination closes. The ultimate impact for investors will hinge on redemptions, final deal terms, and the combined company’s ability to meet the earnout EBITDA and revenue targets.

On March 30, 2026, the Company, CRAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Carvix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Carvix”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the Company will effect a domestication to Delaware (the “Domestication”), (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub will merge with and into Carvix (the “Merger”), with Carvix surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (as domesticated), and (iii) the parties intend that the Domestication qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Carvix common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and treasury shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (a) at the Effective Time, an aggregate of
Each Company founder share will convert on a one-for-one basis into Company common stock in connection with the Domestication and Closing. Pursuant to a SPAC Founders Stock Letter executed concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor irrevocably waived any anti-dilution or conversion ratio adjustment rights that would otherwise be triggered by the private placements, the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
The post-closing board of directors will consist of five members: four nominated by Carvix (including one independent director approved by the Sponsor) and one nominated by the Sponsor (who will be an independent director approved by Carvix). Carvix’s existing management team will continue to lead the combined company following the Closing.
Consummation of the transactions is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) the requisite approval by the Company’s stockholders of the proposals described in the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) delivery of the Carvix stockholder written consent sufficient to constitute the requisite Carvix stockholder approval, (iii) the Domestication, (iv) the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declaring effective the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company, (v) approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the transactions (including the earnout shares), (vi) expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, if required, (vii) satisfaction of the Company’s net tangible asset or “penny stock” condition, and (viii) the Company’s having at the Closing at least the “Minimum Cash Amount,” after giving effect to redemptions, payment of transaction expenses and repayment of indebtedness.
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Effective Time, including by either the Company or Carvix if the Effective Time has not occurred on or prior to September 30, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), unless the breach of the terminating party was the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur by such date.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and Carvix entered into a SPAC Founders Stock Letter, and the Company, Carvix and certain key Carvix stockholders entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement. At the Closing, the Company (as domesticated), the Sponsor, Carvix founders and certain other holders will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement covering governance matters (including initial board composition) and registration rights.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, copies of which were filed as exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 3, 2026. The Business Combination had not closed as of March 31, 2026, and accordingly, no Carvix assets, liabilities, results of operations, merger consideration, or earnout shares are reflected in the unaudited condensed financial statements.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company held no cash and had a working capital deficit funded entirely by the Sponsor and is dependent on Sponsor funding and/or additional financing to fund operations and transaction costs. The Company has until November 10, 2026 (automatically extended to February 10, 2027 upon the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on March 30, 2026) to consummate a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will cease all operations except for winding up and will redeem
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s management team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such Working Capital Loans at that time. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any future period. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period from April 29, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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, Section 102(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 (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth 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 Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an 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 financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ 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 no cash or cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, all funding for the Company’s operations was provided by the Sponsor through the Sponsor’s account on the Company’s behalf, which at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 5).

The Company accounts for the redeemable warrants issued in the IPO (the “Public Warrants”) as liabilities under ASC 815-40, recognized at fair value upon issuance with subsequent changes recognized in the statement of operations per ASC 815-40-35-4. The Public Warrants are classified as liabilities because the Warrant Agreement contains a provision under which warrant holders may receive cash in connection with a tender offer if such tender offer is accepted by holders of more than

Public Rights
The Company accounts for the rights issued in the IPO (the “Public Rights”) as permanent equity under ASC 815-40. Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive 0.20 of a Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination for no additional consideration. Public Rights are indexed to the Company’s own stock, contain no net-cash settlement provisions, and expire worthless in liquidation. The fair value of Public Rights at issuance was recorded within additional paid-in capital. Public Rights are not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
The Company applies the two-class method under ASC 260 to compute earnings (loss) per ordinary share. Both Class A and Class B ordinary shares are participating securities sharing equally in dividends and distributions. Net income (or net loss) is allocated between classes based on weighted-average shares outstanding. Accretion of Class A ordinary shares to redemption value is a direct equity charge excluded from the EPS numerator. The Company’s outstanding Public Warrants and Public Rights are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their effect would be antidilutive (see Note 10).
Income Taxes
The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company not subject to income taxes under current Cayman Islands law. The income tax provision for the period is
Segment Reporting
The Company complies with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment (see Note 11).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and all underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement dated November 7, 2025, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Note 10 — Net Loss Per Ordinary Share — Two-Class Method
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (or net loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (or net loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net income (or net loss) per ordinary share, as both Class A and Class B ordinary shares participate equally in dividends and other distributions. The accretion of Class A ordinary shares to redemption value is excluded from earnings (loss) per share as it is a direct equity transaction.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Note 11 — Segment Reporting
The Company complies with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (or net loss) as reported on the statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. Net income (or net loss) is reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure adequate capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis are general and administrative costs and professional fees; other components included in net income (or net loss) are reported on the statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
The following table summarizes the significant segment expense and other income items reviewed by the CODM:

Note 12 — Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these condensed financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 29, 2025, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the Trust Account, our shares, debt, or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
On November 10, 2025, we consummated our IPO of 17,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 375,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $8.00 per Private Placement Unit (175,000 to the Sponsor and 200,000 to Polaris), generating gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Following the closing of the IPO, $172,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
On March 30, 2026, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Carvix. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, we will effect a domestication to Delaware, and immediately thereafter Merger Sub will merge with and into Carvix, with Carvix surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary. The Outside Date for consummation of the transactions is September 30, 2026. See Note 1 to the condensed financial statements for additional information regarding the Business Combination Agreement.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our Business Combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any principal operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, and, after the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, including the entry into the Business Combination Agreement on March 30, 2026. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of dividends earned on investments held in the Trust Account, and we recognize changes in fair value of our warrant liability each reporting period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net loss of $263,493, consisting of general and administrative costs of $68,837, professional fees of $115,000, and a loss on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,604,397, partially offset by dividends earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,524,741.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we held no cash outside the Trust Account, had a working capital deficit, and is dependent on Sponsor funding and/or additional financing to fund operations and transaction costs. The Sponsor pays all formation and operating costs on the Company’s behalf. Amounts paid by the Sponsor on the Company’s behalf are recorded as a reduction of the Due from related party balance, which represents Private Placement proceeds received by the Sponsor on the Company’s behalf that were designated for use outside the Trust Account, net of formation and operating costs paid by the Sponsor and other amounts owed to the Sponsor. As of March 31, 2026, the due from related party balance was $210,670, compared to $448,082 as of December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $174,928,579. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing dividends or interest earned on the Trust Account (less any income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $237,412. Our net loss of $263,493 was adjusted to reconcile to operating cash flows by a non-cash add-back of $1,604,397 representing the loss on the change in fair value of the warrant liability and reduced by $1,524,741 of dividends earned on investments held in the Trust Account that were reinvested in the Trust Account and did not represent cash inflows; the remaining operating cash usage primarily reflected a $62,900 increase in prepaid expenses and $9,325 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities of $237,412 represented advances from the Sponsor, net, used to fund operating costs paid by the Sponsor on the Company’s behalf.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $5,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units at a price of $8.00 per unit, at the option of the lender.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to consummation of the Business Combination. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution, should a Business Combination not occur, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through November 10, 2026 (or February 10, 2027 in the event the Combination Period is automatically extended). The Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement on March 30, 2026, which automatically extended the Combination Period to February 10, 2027. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period.
20
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The underwriting agreement provides that Polaris is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $300,000. The deferred underwriting commission will become payable to Polaris from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates:
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. All 17,250,000 Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control, and therefore are classified as temporary equity at the redemption value.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Public Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in our statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants is estimated using a 500-step Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial lattice model. See Note 5 to the condensed financial statements for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025, which has not been fully remediated as of March 31, 2026.
Material Weakness
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from April 29, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the accounting for complex financial instruments — specifically, the initial classification and valuation of warrant liabilities and the valuation of Public Rights. Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our management has concluded that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan
In response to the material weakness, we are continuing to enhance our internal control over financial reporting through (i) the engagement of external accounting and SEC reporting professionals with expertise in evaluating and accounting for complex financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, (ii) additional supervisory review of complex transactions and related accounting analyses, and (iii) ongoing training of our personnel involved in financial reporting. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation activities and will make any further changes that management determines to be appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation activities described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from April 29, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except for the risks set forth below related to our entry into the Business Combination Agreement with Carvix, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may not be able to complete the Business Combination with Carvix, including in the time required by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
On March 30, 2026, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Carvix. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by our stockholders, delivery of the Carvix stockholder written consent, the SEC declaring effective the related Registration Statement on Form S-4, approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of common stock to be issued in the transactions, satisfaction of our net tangible asset condition, and our having at the Closing at least the “Minimum Cash Amount,” after giving effect to redemptions, payment of transaction expenses and repayment of indebtedness. There can be no assurance that all such conditions will be satisfied or waived in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination with Carvix prior to the Outside Date of September 30, 2026 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the parties), the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and we are unable to identify and consummate an alternative initial Business Combination by November 10, 2026 (or February 10, 2027 if the Combination Period is automatically extended upon execution of an alternative Business Combination agreement), we will be required to cease operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem all of the public shares, and liquidate.
The pendency of the Business Combination with Carvix could adversely affect us.
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, we are subject to customary covenants regarding the conduct of our business and exclusivity, which limit the scope of activities we may pursue prior to the Closing. The pendency of the proposed Business Combination could divert management’s attention, result in significant transaction expenses, and limit our ability to consider or pursue alternative business combinations. In addition, public stockholders may exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, which could materially reduce the funds available to the combined company at the Closing and may impact our ability to satisfy the Minimum Cash Amount condition.
Following the Domestication, we will be a Delaware corporation, and the rights of our stockholders under Delaware law may differ from those under Cayman Islands law.
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, we have agreed to effect a Domestication from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation prior to the Effective Time. The rights of stockholders under Delaware law differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders under Cayman Islands law, including with respect to the availability of statutory dissenters’ or appraisal rights, fiduciary duties of directors, indemnification of officers and directors, and the procedures for stockholder votes and consents. Holders of our securities should consider these differences carefully when evaluating the Business Combination.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that were not previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Use of Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering
On November 10, 2025, the Company consummated its IPO of 17,250,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Polaris Advisory Partners acted as the representative of the underwriters in the IPO. The securities sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-289717), which was declared effective on September 26, 2025. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 375,000 Private Placement Units at $8.00 per unit (175,000 to the Sponsor and 200,000 to Polaris) generating gross proceeds of $3,000,000. The issuances of the Private Placement Units were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Of the gross proceeds received from the IPO, the exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, $172,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units as described in our final prospectus dated September 26, 2025.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
