Insights
Sponsor holds ~20% of Class A on conversion assumptions.
The filing shows 7,357,500 potentially exercisable/convertible shares, including 7,157,500 Class B shares convertible into Class A on a one‑for‑one basis. The percent ownership is calculated versus 28,950,000 Class A shares outstanding as of April 30, 2026.

Class B ordinary sharesregulatory
"Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares"
Class B ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company that typically come with different voting rights or privileges compared to other share classes. For investors, they represent a way to hold part of the company’s value and influence its decisions, often with fewer voting rights than Class A shares. Understanding these shares helps investors assess their level of control and potential returns within a company.
beneficially ownfinancial
"The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 200,000 Class A ordinary shares"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
