Trust earnings and going-concern risk at EGH Acquisition (NASDAQ: EGHA)
EGH Acquisition Corp. reported unaudited results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, reflecting its status as a SPAC still seeking to close a business combination. Total assets were $155.8 million, largely driven by $155.2 million of marketable securities held in the trust account, while cash outside the trust was $463,928.
The company generated net income of $1.0 million, mainly from $1.35 million of interest earned on trust investments, offset by $324,045 of general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2026, 15,000,000 Class A ordinary shares were subject to possible redemption at $10.35 per share, and 5,000,000 Class B founder shares remained outstanding.
EGH entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Hecate Energy Group, LLC and an affiliated parent on January 21, 2026, aiming to complete its initial business combination by May 12, 2027. Management discloses substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it cannot close a transaction within this combination period, given limited working capital and the obligation to liquidate the trust if no deal is completed.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern uncertainty: Management states that limited working capital and the May 12, 2027 combination deadline raise substantial doubt about EGH Acquisition Corp.’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a business combination.
Insights
Trust interest drives income, but going-concern risk remains high.
EGH Acquisition Corp. shows typical SPAC economics: $155.2 million in the trust account generates interest income, which produced Q1 net income of $1.03M despite no operating business. General and administrative costs were modest at $324,045.
The structure remains highly leveraged to transaction execution. Public shareholders can redeem 15,000,000 Class A shares at $10.35 per share as of March 31, 2026, while a $6.0M deferred underwriting fee depends on completing a deal. A Business Combination Agreement with Hecate Energy is in place but not yet closed.
Management explicitly raises substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern beyond May 12, 2027 if no business combination occurs, citing limited working capital and mandatory liquidation requirements. Subsequent filings around the Hecate transaction and any extension or redemption votes will be important for understanding how much of the trust capital ultimately remains available for the combined entity.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
EGH Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on January 9, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Hecate BCA”), with (i) Hecate Energy Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hecate”), and Hecate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”, and together with Hecate, the “Hecate Parties”). The transactions contemplated by the Hecate BCA (the “Hecate Business Combination”) were unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the board of managers of each Hecate Party. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026, relates to the Company’s formation, its Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is EGH Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2025, as amended (File No. 333-286583), was declared effective on May 8, 2025 (the “IPO Registration Statement”).

The Company will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The per-share amount in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $
The Public Shares subject to possible redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
The Company has only the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and up to $

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
The Company’s liquidity needs up to May 12, 2025, had been satisfied through the loan under the unsecured IPO Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5) from the Sponsor of up to $
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 the Company’s officers and directors 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. Up to $
If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Going Concern,” the Company currently has until May 12, 2027 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 12, 2027, assuming all extensions are exercised. Management intends to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date.
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 (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the (i) IPO Registration Statement and (ii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2026. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of 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 of 2002, 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 Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a 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 a comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither (i) an emerging growth company nor (ii) 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 the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
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 cash of $
Marketable Securities Held in the Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of cash and U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs - SEC Materials,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applied this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Public Rights, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Rights and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Public Rights and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit. After Management’s evaluation, the Public Rights included in the Public Units were accounted for under equity treatment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the accompanying statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the financial instrument could be required within 12 months of the condensed balance sheets date. The Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and is accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 since the Underwriters did not fully exercise their Over-Allotment Option at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On June 26, 2025, the Over-Allotment Option expired unexercised and the change in the fair value of the liability was recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.
Rights
The Company accounts for the Rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the Rights under equity treatment at their assigned values.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata to the Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5). Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from income (loss) per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) Private Placement, since their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net income (loss) per Ordinary Share. The redemption feature for the Ordinary Shares equals fair value, and therefore does not create a different class of Ordinary Shares or require an adjustment to the earnings per Ordinary Shares calculation. The redemption at fair value does not represent an economic benefit to the holders that is different from what is received by other shareholders, because the Ordinary Shares could be sold on the open market. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates the fair value.

Rights
Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. In the event the Company is not the surviving Company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively convert its Rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share underlying each Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional Class A Ordinary Shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law. As a result, a Rights holder must hold Rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive Class A Ordinary Shares for all of their Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds for their Rights and the Rights will expire worthless.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Over-Allotment Option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and was presented within liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

The Company estimates the volatility of its Ordinary Shares based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the option. The expected life of the Over-Allotment Option is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that there is only

The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Additionally, the CODM reviews the Trust Account to ensure the funds are properly invested so that the maximum amount of funds exist to complete a Business Combination and maximize shareholder return. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC, including herein. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 9, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is EGH Sponsor LLC.
We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business Combination, including the Hecate Business Combination, will be successful.
Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on May 8, 2025. On May 12, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 Public Units. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of our initial Business Combination. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $150,000,000. The Underwriters had a 45-day option from the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 12, 2025 to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units; however, on June 26, 2025, the Over-Allotment Option expired unexercised.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor and the Representatives in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to our Company of $5,000,000. Of those 500,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 350,000 Private Placement Units and the Representatives purchased 150,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the amount of $150,000,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, until the earlier of (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
21
Table of Contents
We have until May 12, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
Hecate Business Combination
On January 21, 2026, we entered into the Hecate BCA with the Hecate Parties. The Hecate Business Combination was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors and the board of managers of each Hecate Party. The Hecate BCA provides for, among other things, the following transactions:
(i) | At least three business days prior to the date of Closing, we shall redeem each of our Public Shares from the Public Shareholders who shall have elected to redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Hecate Business Combination pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles; |
(ii) | at least one day one day prior to the date of Closing, we shall cause (i) each of our Class B Ordinary Shares that is issued and outstanding to be converted into one Class A Ordinary Share, (ii) each issued and outstanding Public Unit to be cancelled in exchange for (x) one Class A Ordinary Share and (y) in multiples of ten, one-tenth of one Class A Ordinary Share, respectively, and (iii) up to $1,500,000 of any outstanding promissory notes issued in connection with any Working Capital Loans shall be converted, at the option of the payee, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into Private Placement Units, and each Private Placement Unit shall be cancelled in exchange for (x) one Class A Ordinary Share and (y) in multiples of ten, one-tenth of one Class A Ordinary Share; |
(iii) | subject to prior receipt of the requisite approval of our shareholders of as contemplated in the Hecate BCA, we will change the jurisdiction of our incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating to, and continuing as a corporation incorporated under the laws of, the State of Delaware and, in connection with such domestication: (i) we shall file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form attached to the Hecate BCA as Exhibit D, which shall be our certificate of incorporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL (as defined in the Hecate BCA); (ii) we shall adopt bylaws in the form attached to the Hecate BCA as Exhibit E, which shall be our bylaws until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL (as defined in the Hecate BCA); (iii) each Class A Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding shall become one share of EGH Class A Common Stock (as defined in the Hecate BCA); (iv) each outstanding Public Right will convert, in multiples of ten, into shares of EGH Class A Common Stock; and (v) our name shall be changed to a name chosen by Hecate in consultation with our Company; |
(iv) | at Closing, the we shall contribute to Hecate all of its assets (excluding the aggregate amount of cash proceeds required to satisfy any redemptions by shareholders of the Company and in exchange therefor, Hecate shall issue to us a number of Hecate Units (as defined in the Hecate BCA), which shall equal the number of total shares of EGH Class A Common Stock |

issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, and (B) the membership interests in Hecate held by Parent immediately prior to the Closing shall convert into the Parent Hecate Units (as defined in the Hecate BCA);
(v) | Hecate will subscribe for a number of shares of our newly issued Parent Class Shares (as defined in the Hecate BCA) equal to the number of Parent Hecate Units (as defined in the Hecate BCA) for $0.0001 per share and Hecate shall distribute the Parent Class V Shares to Parent; and |
(vi) | The number of Parent Hecate Units to be issued in the EGH Contribution (as defined in the Hecate BCA) will equal that number of Hecate Units with a value (valuing each Hecate Unit for such purposes as having a value equal to the EGH Redemption Price (as defined in the Hecate BCA)) equal to $1,200,000,000 less the amount, if any, of Hecate’s net indebtedness. |
For a full description of the Hecate BCA and the proposed Hecate Business Combination, please see Item 1. “Business” of the 2025 Annual Report and the Hecate Registration Statement, once filed.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 have been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities relating to (x) the Initial Public Offering, and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination and (z) consummating the Hecate Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net income of $1,025,330, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,349,375, partially offset by general and administrative expense of $324,045.
For the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, we had a net loss $50,142, which consisted of general and administrative costs.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Our liquidity needs through May 12, 2025 were satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares and (ii) a loan from the Sponsor pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. Following the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $150,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. The expiration of the Over-Allotment Option resulted in a reduction in the Over-Allotment Option liability of 159,084. We incurred fees of $9,567,513 in the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $3,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $6,000,000 and $567,513 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $313,775. Net income of $1,025,330 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,349,375 and changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $10,270 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $50,142 was affected by operational expenses paid by the Sponsor in exchange for an issuance of Class B Ordinary Shares of $10,420, payment of operating costs through the IPO Promissory Note of $32,974 and changes in operating assets and liabilities used $6,748 of cash for operating activities.

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $155,217,211 including $1,349,375 of interest income) consisting of U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and exclude the Deferred Fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $463,928. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
Due from and to the Sponsor
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Sponsor incurred $5,000 expenses on our behalf (the “Amount Due”). For the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, no expenses were incurred for these services. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $5,000 and $81 was included in due to Sponsor in the condensed balance sheets of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”. The Amount Due is due on demand.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $1,560 in expenses on behalf of the Sponsor. For the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, no expenses were incurred for these services. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $1,560 has been fully collected.
IPO Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $108,352 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on May 12, 2025. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.
Working Capital Loans
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. 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 Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities). Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (which currently ends on May 12, 2027), then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after May 12, 2027. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on May 9, 2025, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse Energy Growth Holdings LLC, the managing member of the managing member of our Sponsor, $25,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred and paid $75,000 in fees for these services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the period from January 9, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, no fees were incurred for these services.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from May 12, 2025, the date of the Initial Public Offering, to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts. On June 26, 2025, the Over-Allotment Option expired unexercised.
The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering or $3,000,000, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of 4.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $6,000,000, payable upon the closing of an initial Business Combination, but such Deferred Fee shall be due solely on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
Consulting and Share Transfer Agreements
On August 28, 2025, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with an independent contractor (the “Consultant”) to perform certain consulting services for us related to a specific Business Combination target (the “Consulting Agreement”). Additionally on August 28, 2025, EGH Management LLC, the sole managing member of our Sponsor, entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with the Consultant (the “Share Transfer Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, EGH Management LLC granted a membership interest equivalent to 7,500 Founder Shares to the Consultant for services provided to us pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. Such transfer of Founder Shares is conditioned upon the consummation of a Business Combination with such target and subject to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement.
25
Table of Contents
Contingent Fees
In April 2025, June 2025 and August 2025, the Sponsor entered into agreements with an officer and service providers. Pursuant to such agreements, in the event we successfully complete an initial Business Combination, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, grant a bonus in the amount the Sponsor will set in its sole discretion. Pursuant to the service providers’ agreements, in the event we successfully complete an initial Business Combination, we will pay the service providers a $50,000 bonus.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Units and (iii) any private placement-equivalent units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Representatives may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, the Representatives may participate in a “piggyback” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Letter Agreement
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Standards
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements” could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property, other than as set forth below:
On March 5, 2026, we were added as a defendant in a declaratory judgment claim asserted in on-going litigation with a lender of Parent. The suit is styled NEC Fund VI HE Lender, LLC, NEC Fund VI HE Lender (Offshore), LLC, and NEC Fund VI HE Lender (Signature), LLC, Plaintiffs, v. Hecate Holdings LLC, Hecate Energy Group LLC, Repsol Renewables North America, Inc. and EGH Acquisition Corp, Defendants, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The NEC parties allege that Parent did not have the authority to enter into the Hecate BCA and purport to ask the court to rescind any part of the Hecate BCA that affects the NEC parties’ alleged collateral under their loan agreement with Parent. We do not believe that we are proper parties to this suit and have moved to dismiss claim against us. Due to the ongoing litigation, Hecate has been unable to commence the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) audit of Hecate’s financial statements, which is a condition to Closing. As a result, the Closing has been delayed, which we do not anticipate occurring any time earlier than the fourth quarter of 2026. To the extent the parties are unable to timely settle the dispute, the Closing may be further delayed or may not occur at all.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2025 Annual Report and (iii) 2025 Q2 Form 10-Q. As of the date of this Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
For risks related to Hecate and the Hecate Business Combination, please see the Hecate Registration Statement, once filed.
Our search for an initial Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East between United States, Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.
Our ability to find a potential target business and the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected by events that are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum products and related commodities, with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, 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 (SWIFT) 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, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts, including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia 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 and geopolitical turmoil 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, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks 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.
Similarly, other events outside of our control, including natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may arise from time to time, and any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have disproportionate impacts to certain industries or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply chain), and may adversely affect the global economy or capital markets.
Any of the abovementioned 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 conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities.
Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted by these and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a Business Combination target and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms, or at all.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by the Report. However, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and the Representatives in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $5,000,000. Of those 500,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 350,000 Private Placement Units and the Representatives purchased 150,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units, except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds
There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by this Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our 2025 Q2 Form 10-Q. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by the Report.
