Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Launch One Acquisition Corp. reported net income of $1,700,072 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, mainly from interest on $247,617,197 held in its trust account. General and administrative expenses rose to $467,775, while cash outside the trust was $266,001, leaving a working capital deficit of $1,077,733.

The SPAC terminated its previously announced Minovia business combination in January 2026 and is seeking a new target. Management discloses that the July 15, 2026 deadline to complete a deal, combined with limited liquidity, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Insights

Trust income supports results, but liquidity and deadline pressure remain high.

Launch One generated net income of $1.7M purely from interest on the $247.6M trust, while core operating costs increased to $467,775. This is typical for a SPAC pre-merger, where earnings largely reflect interest on IPO proceeds.

Operating liquidity is tight, with only $266,001 in cash and a working capital deficit above $1.0M. The new $500,000 Working Capital Note, with 125% principal, 8% interest and extra default interest, adds relatively expensive short-term funding ahead of a potential deal.

Termination of the Minovia transaction and the July 15, 2026 combination deadline underpin the going concern warning. Actual impact depends on management’s ability to secure and close a new business combination or otherwise extend the timeline under shareholder-approved terms.

Trust Account financial
"Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering... an amount of $230,000,000 from the net proceeds... was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)"
A trust account is a special bank or brokerage account where assets are held and managed by a designated person or firm (the trustee) for the benefit of another person or group (the beneficiary). It matters to investors because it separates assets from personal or corporate funds, can protect assets, control how and when money is used, and may affect tax or legal rights—think of it as a locked drawer opened only under agreed rules.
Business Combination financial
"The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger... or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”)."
A business combination happens when two or more companies join together to operate as one, like two friends merging their teams into a single group. This is important because it can change how companies grow, compete, and make money, often making them bigger and more powerful in the market.
Going Concern financial
"Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $266,001... Management has determined that the liquidity condition... raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern."
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
Working Capital Note financial
"On March 20, 2026, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may loan up to $1,000,000..."
Founder Shares financial
"the Company issued 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares... to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”)."
Founder shares are the ownership stakes given to the people who start a company, often with extra voting power or protections compared with ordinary shares. For investors, they matter because founders’ control and incentives influence decisions about strategy, hiring, and whether the company sells or stays independent — like a family that keeps majority voting rights in a household decision. High founder ownership can mean stable leadership but also a risk that outside shareholders have less influence.
Deferred Fee financial
"the Deferred Fee of $10,950,000, and $624,281 of other offering costs."

LAUNCH ONE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2026

 

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Launch One Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on February 21, 2024. 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”). 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 activities for the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relate to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company and negotiating the terms of and consummating a 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 Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 13, 2024 (File No. 333-280188), was declared effective on July 11, 2024 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On July 15, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 3,000,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), as discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Public Warrant”).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Launch One Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”), generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Of those 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $15,574,281, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $10,950,000, and $624,281 of other offering costs.

 

The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee).

 

The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account, if any) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate a Business Combination.

LAUNCH ONE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2026

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on July 15, 2024, an amount of $230,000,000 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct Treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on Management’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct Continental 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.

 

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by July 15, 2026, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to modify (1)  the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”).

 

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, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations of applicable law and the Amended and Restated Articles. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of the Trust Account was $10.77 per Public Share.

 

The Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity subsequent to 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. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

LAUNCH ONE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2026

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated July 11, 2024 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iii) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from Public Shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

 

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable, if any, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

 

Minovia Business Combination Termination

 

On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Minovia BCA”) with (i) the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the SPAC Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) for the shareholders of the Company and Pubco (as defined below) (other than the shareholders of Minovia (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) and their successors and assigns) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Minovia BCA (the “SPAC Representative”), (ii) Minovia Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Minovia”), (iii) Natalie Yivgi-Ohana, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Minovia Merger for the Minovia shareholders as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (and their successors and assigns) (the “Seller Representative”), (iv) Mito US One Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Pubco”), (v) Mito Sub Israel Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Minovia Merger Sub”, together with the SPAC Representative, Minovia, Seller Representative and Pubco, the “Minovia BCA Parties”) and (vi) a to be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company that, upon execution and delivery of a joinder to the Minovia BCA, will be a party to the Minovia BCA.

 

On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into the Termination and Release Agreement with the Minovia BCA Parties, pursuant to which the Minovia BCA Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Minovia BCA in its entirety pursuant to Section 8.1(a) thereof. Concurrently with the termination of the Minovia BCA, each of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Minovia BCA) were automatically terminated. As a result, the Minovia BCA and Ancillary Agreements are of no further force and effect. In addition, each party released the other parties from any and all liabilities and damages relating to the transaction documents, breaches thereunder and the proposed transactions. The Company is seeking, with the Sponsor, alternative ways to consummate an initial Business Combination.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $266,001 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,077,733. The Company intends to continue to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to complete the Business Combination.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2026, the Company may 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 Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5), 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.

 

Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently July 15, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition, the date of mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution 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 the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

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, as amended, 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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 reporting periods. 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $266,001 and $30,146 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of cash and Treasury bills, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in Treasury bills and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of Treasury bills, the investments are classified as trading securities, which are presented at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account of $247,617,197 and $245,449,353, respectively, were substantially all held in U.S. Treasury Bills. 

 

For the three month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $2,167,844 and $2,449,036 of interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account, respectively, in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. For the three month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.

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 unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

 

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 Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit as the Warrants were accounted for under equity treatment based on the equity classification of the underlying financial instruments, after Management’s evaluation.

 

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 no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

 

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounted for the 11,500,000 Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants sold in the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the Warrants described above were not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. There were 17,500,000 Warrants outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Net Income per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

 

The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants (including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in the calculation of diluted income per Ordinary Share, because in the calculation of diluted income per Ordinary Share, their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net income per Ordinary Share for the period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. All accretions associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares are excluded from earnings per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that 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 initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies 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. At 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 Public Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the accompanying balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

In the Initial Public Offering that closed on July 15, 2024, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,000,000 Option Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

 

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate, in the Private Placement. Of those 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) are entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to the Private Placement Warrants held by Cantor and/or its designees, will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(8).

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with (x) the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination and (y) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to modify (1) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (2) any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iii) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

 

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

On February 21, 2024, the Sponsor made a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s expenses, for which the Company issued 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), to the Sponsor (such shares, the “Founder Shares”). Up to 750,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to surrender by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the Over-Allotment Option was exercised. On July 15, 2024, the Underwriters exercised their Over-Allotment Option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of such holders of the Founder Shares with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.

 

IPO Promissory Note — Related Party

 

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $340,000, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (as amended, the “IPO Promissory Note”). The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2024, or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Since inception through the Initial Public Offering, the Company had borrowed $307,974 under the IPO Promissory Note. The Company repaid $335,314 on July 15, 2024.

 

Due from Sponsor

 

The Company paid the Sponsor an amount $27,340 in excess of the outstanding IPO Promissory Note balance at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The excess payment of $27,340 is due to the Company as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement, commencing on July 11, 2024, through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $12,500 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of Management. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $37,500 in fees for these services, of which the amount is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred and paid $37,500 in fees for these services.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was a total amount of $500,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the Working Capital Note (as defined below).

Working Capital Promissory Note 

 

In light of the Company’s limited cash balance at year end, the Board and Management determined to secure additional working capital to fund past and ongoing operational expenses. On March 20, 2026, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may loan up to $1,000,000 to the Company in up to three tranches in substantially the same amounts and on substantially the same terms as the loans under that certain agreement, between the Sponsor and Keystone Capital Partners, LLC (“Keystone”), as agent for the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders” and such agreement, the “Credit Agreement”), including an initial loan to the Company of $500,000 upon execution and two additional loans of $250,000 each (in the case of the Working Capital Note, at the Sponsor’s sole election) in the event that the Company (A) enter into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement with respect to a Business Combination or (B) call a shareholder meeting to extend the Combination Period, (i) an original issue discount of 20% on each loan, such that the principal amount of each loan is 125% of the amount borrowed, (ii) annual interest of 8%, with a default interest rate of an additional 18% (for a total of 26%), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (iii) a prepayment penalty of 10% (and in the case of the Working Capital Note, only to the extent with the written consent of the Sponsor), (iv) a maturity date for all such loans, interest and other obligations under the Working Capital Note of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the effective date of the Company’s winding up (or if earlier, upon an event of default), and (v) an obligation to reimburse the Sponsor for its expenses in connection with obtaining the funds for the initial loan under the Working Capital Note (up to $25,000 to be withheld at the funding of the initial loan, which will be used to reimburse Keystone for its expenses under the Credit Agreement) and for any expenses of the Sponsor in connection with any refinancing of the debt or the enforcement of the Working Capital Note and for any reimbursement or indemnification obligations of the Sponsor under the Credit Agreement and related documents, subject in each case to a cap of $20,000 per occurrence (other than with respect to indemnification obligations), which expense reimbursement obligations will be taken out of the proceeds of any additional loans under the Working Capital Note or otherwise upon the maturity date (or earlier event of default). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had received $500,000 under the Working Capital Note. No interest was accrued as of March 31, 2026, as the amount was de minimis. 

 

Credit and Pledge Agreements

 

In connection with the Working Capital Note, the Sponsor entered into the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide loans to the Sponsor of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate, to be funded in up to three tranches, consisting of an initial loan of $500,000 and two additional loans of $250,000 each (with such additional tranches subject to the consent of Keystone, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Sponsor also entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with Keystone, pursuant to which the Sponsor pledged 2,932,500 Class B Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 51% of the Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor), together with any proceeds thereof (the “Pledged Collateral”), as collateral to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The loans under the Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the Sponsor, and the Lenders’ sole recourse in the event of a default is to foreclose upon such Pledged Collateral, which would remain subject to the Company’s governing documents and applicable lock-up arrangements, including the terms of the Letter Agreement. The Sponsor is required to use the proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement to fund loans to the Company to pay for its expenses, including transaction expenses for future deals, amounts previously owed for prior Business Combination efforts and for administrative expenses. The loans under the Credit Agreement mature upon the earlier of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Credit Agreement includes events of default for the Company’s failure to file with the SEC by a certain agreed upon date a proxy statement to call for a shareholder meeting to extend the Company deadline to consummate an initial Business Combination or for the Company’s failure to enter into a definitive Business Combination agreement with a target company or business prior to a certain agreed upon date. However, the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement solely bind the Sponsor and do not restrict the Company’s actions.

 

The Company, the Sponsor and Cantor, also entered into a waiver letter pursuant to which the restrictions on transfers contained in the Letter Agreement were waived solely to permit the pledge of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer thereof upon enforcement of the related security interest, but with the Lenders taking such Pledged Collateral subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants (and underlying securities) and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans, have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated July 11, 2024, between such holders and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On July 15, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Option Unit.

 

The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $4,000,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and 6.50% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, or $10,950,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated July 11, 2024, by and between the Company and Cantor (such fee, the “Deferred Fee”).

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

 

Holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Articles or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Articles and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote on (i) the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.

 

Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 17,500,000 Warrants outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Class A Ordinary Share underlying such Unit.

 

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated July 11, 2024, by and between the Company and Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of the Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Class A Ordinary Shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 

If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant 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 issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable.

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

 

The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

 

  in whole and not in part;

 

  at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

 

  upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

  if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a subdivision of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

 

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 an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Level 1 assets include investments in money market funds that invest solely in Treasury bills. At March 31, 2026, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $927 in cash and $247,616,270 in a money market fund, which was invested primarily in Treasury bills. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.

 

At December 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $927 in cash and $245,448,426 in a money market fund, which was invested primarily in Treasury bills.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

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

LAUNCH ONE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2026

 

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 one reportable segment.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets, which include the following:

 

    March 31,

    December 31,
2025
 
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account   $ 247,617,197     $ 245,449,353

Interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account   $ 2,167,845     $ 2,449,036  

 

The CODM reviews interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated July 11, 2024, by and between the Company and Continental.

 

General and administrative expenses 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 Combination Period. 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. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

 

All other segment items included in net income are reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

 

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

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 February 21, 2024 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Launch One Sponsor LLC.

 

We are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination. 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 will be successful.

 

Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on July 11, 2024. On July 15, 2024, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $230,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $6,000,000. Of those 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $230,000,000 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, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by Continental that is reasonably satisfactory to us, until the earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

 

20

 

We have until July 15, 2026 (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 a 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.

 

Minovia Business Combination Termination

 

On June 25, 2025, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended, the “Minovia BCA”) with (i) the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the SPAC Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) for our shareholders and Pubco (as defined below) (other than the shareholders of Minovia (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (as defined in the Minovia BCA) and their successors and assigns) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Minovia BCA (the “SPAC Representative”), (ii) Minovia Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Minovia”), (iii) Natalie Yivgi-Ohana, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Minovia Merger for the Minovia shareholders as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Minovia Merger (and their successors and assigns) (the “Seller Representative”), (iv) Mito US One Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Pubco”), (v) Mito Sub Israel Ltd., an Israeli company limited by shares and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Minovia Merger Sub”, together with the SPAC Representative, Minovia, Seller Representative and Pubco, the “Minovia BCA Parties”) and (vi) a to be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company that, upon execution and delivery of a joinder to the Minovia BCA, would have been a party to the Minovia BCA.

 

On January 30, 2026, we entered into the Termination and Release Agreement with the Minovia BCA Parties (the “Minovia Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Minovia BCA Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Minovia BCA in its entirety pursuant to Section 8.1(a) thereof. Concurrently with the termination of the Minovia BCA, each of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Minovia BCA) were automatically terminated. As a result, the Minovia BCA and Ancillary Agreements are of no further force and effect. In addition, each party released the other parties from any and all liabilities and damages relating to the transaction documents, breaches thereunder and the proposed transactions.

 

The foregoing summary of the Minovia Termination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Minovia Termination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

We are seeking, with our Sponsor, alternative ways to consummate an initial Business Combination.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since February 21, 2024 (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. 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.

 

21

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net income of $1,700,072, which consisted of interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,167,844 and interest earned on operating cash account of $3, partially offset by general and administrative costs of $467,775.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $2,287,413, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,449,036, interest earned on operating cash account of $197 and unrealized gain on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,222, partially offset by general and administrative costs of $178,042.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $230,000,000 was initially placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $15,574,281 in transaction costs, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $10,950,000 and $624,281 of other offering costs.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $264,145. Net income of $1,700,072 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,167,844. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $203,627 of cash for operating activities.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $181,415. Net income of $2,287,413 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,449,036 and unrealized gain on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,222. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $3,570 of cash for operating activities.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $247,617,197 and $245,449,353, respectively (including $2,167,845 and $9,919,832 of interest income, respectively). 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 any taxes payable 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 Continental 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 and December 31, 2025, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $266,001 and $30,146, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $1,052,733 and $609,961, respectively. 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.

 

Our liquidity needs through March 31, 2026 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.

 

IPO Promissory Note

 

Prior to the closing of our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $340,000 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, 2024 or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. We borrowed $307,974 under the IPO Promissory Note and $335,314 was paid to the Sponsor upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on July 15, 2024, including an amount of $27,340 in excess of the outstanding IPO Promissory Note balance. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note. The excess payment of $27,340 was due to our Company as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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 will 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 would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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, there was a total amount of $500,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the Working Capital Note (see below).

 

Working Capital Note

 

In light of our limited cash balance at year end, our Board and Management determined to secure additional working capital to fund past and ongoing operational expenses. On March 20, 2026, we entered into a Working Capital Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may loan up to $1,000,000 to us in up to three tranches in substantially the same amounts and on substantially the same terms as the loans under that certain agreement, between the Sponsor and Keystone Capital Partners, LLC (“Keystone”), as agent for the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders” and such agreement, the “Credit Agreement”), including an initial loan to us of $500,000 upon execution and two additional loans of $250,000 each (in the case of the Working Capital Note, at the Sponsor’s sole election) in the event that we (A) enter into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other agreement with respect to our Business Combination or (B) call a shareholder meeting to extend the Combination Period, (ii) an original issue discount of 20% on each loan, such that the principal amount of each loan is 125% of the amount borrowed, (iii) annual interest of 8%, with a default interest rate of an additional 18% (for a total of 26%), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (iv) a prepayment penalty of 10% (and in the case of the Working Capital Note, only to the extent with the written consent of the Sponsor), (v) a maturity date for all such loans, interest and other obligations under the Working Capital Note of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the effective date of our winding up (or if earlier, upon an event of default), and (vi) an obligation to reimburse the Sponsor for its expenses in connection with obtaining the funds for the initial loan under the Working Capital Note (up to $25,000 to be withheld at the funding of the initial loan, which will be used to reimburse Keystone for its expenses under the Credit Agreement) and for any expenses of the Sponsor in connection with any refinancing of the debt or the enforcement of the Working Capital Note and for any reimbursement or indemnification obligations of the Sponsor under the Credit Agreement and related documents, subject in each case to a cap of $20,000 per occurrence (other than with respect to indemnification obligations), which expense reimbursement obligations will be taken out of the proceeds of any additional loans under the Working Capital Note or otherwise upon the maturity date (or earlier event of default). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had received $500,000 under the Working Capital Note. No interest was accrued as of March 31, 2026, as the amount was de minimis.

 

Credit and Pledge Agreements

 

In connection with the Working Capital Note, the Sponsor entered into the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide loans to the Sponsor of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate, to be funded in up to three tranches, consisting of an initial loan of $500,000 and two additional loans of $250,000 each (with such additional tranches subject to the consent of Keystone, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Sponsor also entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with Keystone, pursuant to which the Sponsor pledged 2,932,500 Class B Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 51% of the Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor), together with any proceeds thereof (the “Pledged Collateral”), as collateral to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The loans under the Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the Sponsor, and the Lenders’ sole recourse in the event of a default is to foreclose upon such Pledged Collateral, which would remain subject to our governing documents and applicable lock-up arrangements, including the terms of the Letter Agreement. The Sponsor is required to use the proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement to fund loans to us to pay for our expenses, including transaction expenses for future deals, amounts previously owed for prior Business Combination efforts and for administrative expenses. The loans under the Credit Agreement mature upon the earlier of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. The Credit Agreement includes events of default for our failure to file with the SEC by a certain agreed upon date a proxy statement to call for a shareholder meeting to extend our Combination Period or for our failure to enter into a definitive Business Combination agreement with a target company or business prior to a certain agreed upon date. However, the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement solely bind the Sponsor and do not restrict our actions.

 

Our Company, the Sponsor and Cantor, also entered into a waiver letter pursuant to which the restrictions on transfers contained in the Letter Agreement were waived solely to permit the pledge of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer thereof upon enforcement of the related security interest, but with the Lenders taking such Pledged Collateral subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement.

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 under Item 1. “Financial Statements” 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, 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 July 15, 2026. 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 July 11, 2024, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor $12,500 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 $37,500 in fees for these services, which amount is included in accrued expenses in the condensed balance sheets of the financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

We granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 15, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option.

 

The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $4,000,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Units offered in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Fee of (i) 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the base Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and (ii) 6.50% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, which equates to $10,950,000 in the aggregate following the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and is payable to the Underwriters, upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) any private placement-equivalent warrants 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. Cantor 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, Cantor 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.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors, officers have agreed that: (x) the Founder Shares shall be subject to transfer restrictions of the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of our initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to our initial Business Combination, (1) if the last sale price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within and any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial Business Combination, or  (2) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property; (y) the Private Placement Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination; and (z) any Units, Warrants, Ordinary Shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Units, Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares or Warrants shall be subject to transfer restriction for 180 days following the effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

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. 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. Using a valuation, we estimated the fair value of the Public Warrants as of the Initial Public Offering. Other than estimating the value of the Public Warrants, we did not have any other critical accounting estimates as of March 31, 2026.

 

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 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.

 

26

 

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.

 

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) 2024 Annual Report, (iii) 2025 Annual Report and (iv) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025 and August 14, 2025, respectively. As of the date of this Report, 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.

 

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 this Report.

 

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 Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 13, 2024. 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 Continental 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 this Report.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

FAQ

How did Launch One Acquisition Corp. (LPAA) perform in the quarter ended March 31, 2026?

Launch One reported net income of $1,700,072 for the quarter, driven almost entirely by interest on funds in its trust account. General and administrative expenses were $467,775, reflecting ongoing costs of operating as a SPAC while it searches for a business combination.

How much cash does LPAA hold in its trust account and outside it?

As of March 31, 2026, Launch One held $247,617,197 in its trust account, largely invested in U.S. Treasury-focused money market funds. It had only $266,001 of cash outside the trust, used to fund operating expenses and deal pursuit activities before a business combination closes.

What is Launch One Acquisition Corp.’s working capital position and going concern status?

Launch One reported a working capital deficit of $1,077,733 as of March 31, 2026. Management states that limited liquidity and the July 15, 2026 deadline to complete a business combination raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern without a successful transaction.

What happened to LPAA’s planned business combination with Minovia Therapeutics Ltd.?

On January 30, 2026, Launch One and the Minovia parties signed a Termination and Release Agreement, ending the business combination agreement and related ancillary agreements. All parties released each other from liabilities related to those documents. Launch One is now seeking alternative business combination opportunities.

What are the key terms of LPAA’s new Working Capital Note with its sponsor?

On March 20, 2026, Launch One entered a Working Capital Note allowing up to $1,000,000 of loans. Each tranche carries a 20% original issue discount (125% principal), 8% annual interest, potential 26% default rate, a 10% prepayment penalty, and matures at business combination or winding up.

When must Launch One Acquisition Corp. complete a business combination or liquidate?

Launch One has until July 15, 2026, 24 months after its IPO closing, to complete an initial business combination under its current charter. If it does not, it must redeem the public shares from the trust account and proceed to dissolution, subject to any shareholder-approved extension.

How many LPAA shares are outstanding and what is the redemption value per public share?

As of May 14, 2026, Launch One had 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Class A shares are redeemable; their trust balance equated to approximately $10.77 per public share as of March 31, 2026, based on trust account assets.
