JAB Acquisition Corp I (JAB) details trust cash, net income and going concern risk
JAB Acquisition Corp I is a Cayman Islands-based special purpose acquisition company formed on March 10, 2026 to complete a business combination. On June 11, 2026 it raised $172.5 million through an IPO of 17,250,000 units and $2.6 million from 260,000 private units. As of June 30, 2026, $172,816,825 was held in a Trust Account for public shareholders, with $644,149 of cash available outside the trust for working capital. For the period from inception through June 30, 2026, the company reported net income of $113,697, driven by $316,825 of interest on trust cash, offset by $203,128 of formation and operating expenses. There were 18,605,000 Class A ordinary shares and 9,857,143 Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of August 14, 2026. Management discloses substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern because it must complete a business combination within 12 months of the IPO (extendable by up to six months with additional deposits) or liquidate, and it expects to incur significant costs pursuing a transaction.
Positive
- None.
Negative
The company’s management states that conditions related to the 12‑month Combination Period and ongoing costs raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the financial statement issuance.
Disclosure controls and procedures were deemed not effective as of June 30, 2026 due to lack of segregation of duties and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, financial reporting and recordkeeping.
Filing Explained
Current reporting controls are ineffective, while 17,510,000 warrants and 17,510,000 rights remain future share-issuance capacity, not issued shares.
Form 10-Q is the company’s unaudited quarterly report, covering interim financial statements and updates to risks and liquidity. As of
Each right is to deliver one-fourth of a Class A share upon consummation of the initial business combination, subject to the filing’s rounding terms. Public warrants become exercisable at the later of the business combination or 12 months after the offering’s closing. Under the supplied dilution definition, any resulting share issuance would increase the total share count and reduce an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.
Management attributed the controls failure to limited personnel and insufficient written procedures. The company reported no change during the quarter in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.
The relevant resolution points are the initial business combination and the 12-month warrant-exercisability date; following a business combination, the company says it will seek to file a warrant-share registration statement within 20 business days and have it declared effective within 60 business days.

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
JAB Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, however, it intends to focus our search on high potential businesses based in the United States. 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 June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, related to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 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.
On June 11, 2026, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of
Transaction costs amounted to $
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (cont.)
If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires a resolution be passed by a majority of the holders of the Class A ordinary shares, par value $
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Articles provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Articles (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (cont.)
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor is liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $
Going Concern Considerations
The Company has until 12 months from the date of the Initial Public Offering to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). The Company may extend the initial 12-month time period to consummate a Business Combination for no more than two (2) three-month periods by depositing an additional $
Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statement is issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflicts in the Middle East, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and Iran, the U.S. has imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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 unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with US 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 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 information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Prospectus filed with the SEC on June 10, 2026 and Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2026.
The interim results for the period from for the period March 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period March 10, 2026 (inception) through December 31, 2026, or for any future periods.
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, as amended (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 comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 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 expenses during the reporting period.
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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering” and Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s).”
Deferred offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with preparation for the Initial Public Offering, which include professional and registration fees incurred. Deferred offering costs, together with the underwriting discounts and commissions, were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a residual method, compared to total proceeds received. The Company applies this guidance to allocate the Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares, Warrants and Rights, used the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Warrants and Rights and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares (i.e., Public Shares) were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants, Public Rights and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ equity as the Public Warrants, Public Rights, Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Rights, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment (as well as the Private Placement Shares). As of June 30, 2026, the Company had deferred offering costs of $
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Net Income per Ordinary Share
Net Income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net Income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. No Class B ordinary shares were forfeited in connection with the Initial Public Offering, as the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option. As of June 30, 2026, except as noted below, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted Income (Loss) per share is the same as basic Income per share for the period presented.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Units to receive ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share, because their issuance is contingent upon future events.

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 (“FDIC”) limit and cash held in the trust with a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) limit. As of June 30, 2026, the cash held in exceed of the FDIC limit was $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
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.
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 ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” 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 statement 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 balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Under ASC Topic 815-40, the Public Warrants (as defined below) and the Private Placement Warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment and as such were recorded in shareholders’ equity on June 11, 2026, the date of the completion of the Initial Public Offering. If the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants no longer meet the criteria for equity treatment, they will be recorded as a liability and remeasured each period with changes recorded in the statement of operations. There were

Rights
The Company accounts for the Public Rights and Private Placement Rights (as defined in Notes 3 and 4) issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Under ASC Topic 815-40, the Public Rights (as defined below) and the Private Placement Rights meet the criteria for equity treatment and as such were recorded in shareholders’ equity. If the Public Rights and Private Placement Rights no longer meet the criteria for equity treatment, they will be recorded as a liability and remeasured each period with changes recorded in the statement of operations. There were 17,510,000 Public Rights or Private Placement Rights outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies the Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the unaudited balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described in this paragraph, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise their warrant following the notice of redemption to do so on a cashless basis. In the case of such a cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the public warrants. If its management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Class A ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case.

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

Operational and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Business Combination period. The CODM also reviews formation and operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Formation and operating expenses, as reported on the unaudited statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, for example, statements about:
| ● | our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses; |
| ● | our ability to complete our initial business combination; |
| ● | our expectations around the performance of the prospective target business or businesses; |
| ● | our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination; |
| ● | our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination; |
| ● | our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination; |
| ● | our pool of prospective target businesses; |
| ● | the adverse impacts of certain events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of infectious diseases) on our ability to consummate an initial business combination; |
| ● | the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential business combination opportunities; |
| ● | our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading; |
| ● | the lack of a market for our securities; |
| ● | the use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; |
| ● | the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties; or |
| ● | our financial performance following our Initial Public Offering. |
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our final prospectus dated June 9, 2026 (Registration Statement No. 333-296035) and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
In addition, statements that contain “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Although we believe that this information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, this information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2026 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on June 10, 2026
Overview
JAB Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 10, 2026. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2026, related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 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.
On June 11, 2026, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000 (the “Public Proceeds”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 260,000 Units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, JAB Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,600,000.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, and subsequent to our initial public offering, identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the period from March 10, 2026 (inception) through June 30, 2026, we had net income of $113,697, which represents interest earned on the trust account of $316,825 offset by formation and operating costs of $203,128 incurred during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of our initial public offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from JAB Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “sponsor”) upon the issuance of the founder shares, loan proceeds from the sponsor of $300,000 under an unsecured promissory note and advances from a related party. Subsequent to the consummation of our initial public offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from our initial public offering and the proceeds from the sponsor from the purchase of the private units.
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. If the Company completes a business combination, it would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $600,000 of such working capital loans may be converted upon completion of a business combination into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the private units.
18
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our income and franchise taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We do not expect to pay income taxes as none are due under Cayman Islands law. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.
As of June 30, 2026, we have available to us $644,149 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds to primarily 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.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following our initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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 $600,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private units. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2026, we had off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the first date on which the Company’s securities were listed on Nasdaq, to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission equal to the lesser of (i) 7% of the funds available in the trust account following redemptions or (ii) $500,000. The deferred underwriting commission is payable upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking into account our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
There are no critical accounting estimates that were made with respect to the preparation of the historical financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflicts in the Middle East, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, 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 not effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026, due to the lack of segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT and financial reporting and recordkeeping.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March, 19 2026, our sponsor JAB Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC purchased, and the Company issued to the sponsor, 9,857,143 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, of which 1,285,714 Class B ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture in the event the over-allotment option is not exercised. The sponsor is deemed to have purchased the founder shares for $0.002 per share. Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of this offering would be a maximum of 28,107,143 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full and therefore that such founder shares would represent approximately 35.0% of the outstanding shares after this offering (not including the Class A ordinary shares that are included within the private units). Up to 1,285,714 of these shares will be surrendered for no consideration depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised. No Class B ordinary shares were forfeited in connection with the Initial Public Offering, as the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
Our sponsor is an accredited investor for purposes of Rule 501 of Regulation D. Each of the equity holders in our sponsor is an accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D. The sole business of our sponsor is to act as the company’s sponsor in connection with this offering.
Our sponsor purchased from us an aggregate of 260,000 private units (whether or not the over-allotment option is exercised) at $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,600,000. The private units will also be worthless if we do not complete our initial business combination. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of our initial public offering. This issuance will be made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.
Use of Proceeds
On June 9, 2026, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-296035)(the “Registration Statement”) for our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the SEC. On June 11, 2026, the Company consummated its IPO of 17,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered), including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The offering was made on a firm commitment basis with D. Boral Capital LLC as managing underwriter. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 260,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, JAB Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,600,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $3,396,791, consisting of underwriter’s fees of $1,000,000, fair value of representative shares of $1,240,000 and $1,156,791 of other offering costs.
