Insights

TL;DR: IPO raised material proceeds but costs and working capital constraints leave the company dependent on completing a Business Combination.

The company successfully completed its IPO and full over-allotment, generating aggregate gross proceeds from public units and option units of $86,250,000 and additional private placement proceeds of $2,987,500. Offering costs of $2,635,148 reduced net capital available and only $507,955 was held outside the Trust Account for working capital at IPO date. Interest income of $635,672 was recorded on Trust investments. Management notes significant costs ahead to identify and close an initial Business Combination and reports substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern absent a successful combination or additional financing before the August 27, 2026 deadline.

TL;DR: Material liquidity and going-concern risk despite IPO proceeds; outcome depends on timely capital raise or transaction execution.

While the IPO and over-allotment provided sizable gross proceeds, the disclosure shows limited operating cash outside the Trust Account and ongoing high transaction-related expenditures. The company explicitly states substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and has a finite period to complete a Business Combination. These facts constitute a material risk to stakeholders until the combination is consummated or additional funding is secured.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations

 

Pelican Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Pelican”) is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability on July 23, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, although the Company intends to primarily focus on target businesses within the technology industry globally. 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 July 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from July 23, 2024 (inception) through July 31, 2025, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to completing the initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and sale of Private Placement Units (as defined below). The Company has selected January 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The Company’s sponsor is Pelican Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the IPO (see Note 3) and Private Placement (as defined below) to the initial shareholder (see Note 4).

 

The registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on May 22, 2025. On May 27, 2025, the Company consummated its IPO of 7,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company sold 276,250 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), the representative of the underwriters, in a private placement generating total gross proceeds of $2,762,500, which is described in Note 4.

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 Units (the “Option Units”) at $10.00 per unit to cover over-allotments, if any. On May 28, 2025, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full to purchase 1,125,000 additional units (the “Option Units”) at $10.00 per unit. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Option Units occurred on May 30, 2025, generating total gross proceeds of $11,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 22,500 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and EBC, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000.

 

Upon the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $2,635,148, consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting commissions, which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and $806,109 of legal and other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $507,955 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

 

A total of $86,250,000 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sales of Units in the IPO, the Option Units and the Private Placements on May 27, 2025 and May 30, 2025, were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer& Trust acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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 of 1940 and which invest solely in U.S. Treasuries. The Trust Fund will be deposited into the Trust Account in the U.S. to be released only in the event of either: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time.

 

5

 

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

 

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). The Public Shares subject to redemption was recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, it will require approval by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Post-offering Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and the Company’s officers or directors have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares, and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Post-offering Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

6

 

 

The Company have 15 months from the consummation of the IPO, or August 27, 2026, to consummate its initial business combination (“Combination Period”). If the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate initial business combination within the Combination Period, the Company may seek shareholder approval to amend its Post-offering Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. If the Company seek shareholder approval for an extension, holders of Public Shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the initial Business Combination, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law.

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or by such earlier liquidation date as the board of directors may approve, the Company 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), 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 the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Shares have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares, and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third-party who executed an agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On September 9, 2025, Pelican (or “Purchaser”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pelican Holdco, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Holdco”), Pelican Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, Greenland Exploration Limited, a Texas Corporation (“Greenland”), Greenland Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, and March GL Company, a Texas corporation (“March GL”).

 

Prior to the closing, Pelican will effect a domestication pursuant to which Pelican will discontinue as a Cayman Islands exempted company and domesticate as a Texas corporation (the “Domestication”). Upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding Pelican security will remain outstanding and automatically represent a corresponding security of Pelican as a Texas corporation, without any action required by the holders.

 

7

 

 

Following the Domestication, the transaction will include a series of mergers whereby Pelican, Greenland, and March GL will each merge with subsidiaries of Holdco, which will be renamed Greenland Energy Company and become publicly traded company on the Nasdaq.

 

The Merger consideration being a number of shares of Holdco common stock with an aggregate value equal to US$215,000,000, based upon a per share value of US$10.00. Existing Greenland shareholders will receive an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Holdco common stock and existing March GL shareholders will receive an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Holdco common stock. Pelican shareholders will receive one share of Holdco common stock for each share of Pelican common stock they currently hold (subject to redemptions).

 

Transfer of Founder Shares

 

Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Sponsor and any other party that holds Founder Shares (except for EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.), to (i) forfeit and cancel, in aggregate, 718,750 Founder Shares, and (ii) following such forfeiture, transfer to FG Merchant Partners LP (a shareholder of March GL), pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, 20% of the total remaining Founder Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be 431,250 Founder Shares representing 20% of 2,156,250 Founder Shares post-forfeiture), at the same purchase price per share as originally paid by the Sponsor for such Founder Shares. Following such transfer, the Sponsor and any other party that holds Founder Shares (excluding EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.) shall retain 1,725,000 Founder Shares, in addition to any private units acquired in connection with Pelicans IPO.

 

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated by Pelican or Greenland or March GL under certain circumstances, including, among others: (a) by mutual written consent of Holdco, Greenland and March GL; (b) by either Holdco or Greenland or March GL if the Closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before June 30, 2026, (c) by Holdco if any of the Companies shall have failed to obtain the necessary shareholder approvals; (d) by either Greenland or March GL or Pelican if the Pelican Special Meeting is held (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and has concluded, the Pelican’s shareholders have duly voted, and the Required Pelican Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was not obtained.

 

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated as a primary result of the actions or inactions of Pelican, Pelican shall, or shall cause the applicable Pelican shareholder to, transfer, convey and assign to Greenland one-third (1/3) of the issued and outstanding Founder Shares, free and clear of all Liens, as a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Termination Fee is intended to compensate Greenland for the time, expense and opportunity costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and is not a penalty.

 

Pelican Merger Sub Promissory Note - Greenland

 

On September 9, 2025, Pelican Merger Sub issued a promissory note to Greenland in the amount of $100,000, to be used, in part, for merger related transaction costs (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free and due on the date on which Greenland closes its initial business combination. On September 9, 2025, Greenland deposited $100,000 into Pelican’s operating account.

 

Certain Related Agreements

 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (i) the sponsor of Pelican, entered into a support agreement pursuant to which it agreed to vote its shares of Pelican in favor of the transaction and take certain other actions in support of the Mergers (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), and (ii) certain shareholders of Greenland and March GL entered into a support agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of the company in favor of the transaction and take certain other actions in support of the Mergers (the “Company Support Agreement”). At Closing, all Greenland and March GL shareholders will enter into lock-up agreements (the “Form of Company Lock-Up Agreement”), restricting the transfer of certain shares for specified periods following the Closing. Pelican, Holdco, Robert Price (the “Subject Party”) entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement (the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement”), to be effective as of the Closing, pursuant to which, among other things, the Subject Party may not, without the prior written consent of Pelican (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly engage in the Business (as defined by the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement), anywhere in Greenland.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of July 31, 2025, the Company had $252,240 of cash and a working capital of $284,602. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company currently has until August 27, 2026 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, management has determined that such additional conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 2 — Significant accounting policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on June 4, 2025. The interim results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through January 31, 2026 or for any future periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

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 has $252,240 and $59,073 in cash and none in cash equivalents as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

As of July 31, 2025, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 input utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

 

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 Depository Insurance Coverage 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. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriter’s over-allotment option is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 if not fully exercised at the time of the IPO. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, there were no derivative financial instruments.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

10

 

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs were $2,635,148 consisting principally of $1,725,000 underwriting fees and $806,109 legal and other expenses that were directly related to the IPO and the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option and charged to shareholder’s equity upon the completion of the IPO and the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option.

 

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies the ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. Given that the 8,625,000 ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO and full excise of over-allotment option were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity has been allocated to the proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

 

Accordingly, as of July 31, 2025, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of July 31, 2025, the ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

 

               
    Shares     Amount  
Gross proceeds from IPO     8,625,000     $ 86,250,000  
Less:                
Proceeds allocated to Public Rights             (1,380,000 )
Reversal of proceeds allocated to over-allotment option             104,039  
Ordinary shares issuance costs             (2,592,985 )
Plus:                
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value             4,504,618  
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption – July 31, 2025     8,625,000     $ 86,885,672

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of net income per redeemable share and net income per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of net income per ordinary share because redemption of the redeemable shares is not at fair value pursuant to the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has elected to treat only the portion of the periodic adjustment to the carrying amount of the redeemable shares that reflects a redemption in excess of fair value like a dividend. As such, income or loss allocable to each class of ordinary share is not adjusted for the accretion of carrying value to redemption value.

 

The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the IPO and the Private Units since the exercise of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of July 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares that then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

 

The net income per ordinary share presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is based on the following: 

 

                               
    Three Months Ended
July 31,
2025

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share   $ 0.03     $ 0.03     $ 0.05     $ 0.05  

 

Rights Accounting

 

The Company accounts for rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the right’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the rights are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the right holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of right issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the rights are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

 

As the rights to be issued upon the closing of the IPO and sale of Private Placement Units meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, therefore, the rights are classified as equity.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statement.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 30, 2025 (see Note 8).

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

 

On May 27, 2025 and May 30, 2025, the Company sold 7,500,000 Units and 1,125,000 Option Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share and one right (the “Public Right”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to convert one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares.

 

Note 4 — Private Placement

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and EBC purchased an aggregate of 212,500 Private Placement Units and 86,250 Private Placement Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,987,500.

 

Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Private Share”) and one right (“Private Right”). Each Private Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO which were deposited in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless. Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On August 22, 2024, the Company issued to the Sponsor 2,875,000 ordinary shares for an aggregated consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.0087 per ordinary share, among which, up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full, so that the Sponsor will beneficially own 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (excluding the Private Shares and the EBC founder shares and assuming they do not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO).

 

As a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of its over-allotment option on May 30, 2025, no shares are subject to forfeiture. As of July 31, 2025, there were 2,875,000 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.

 

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares for a time period ending on the date that is 180 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The holders of the Private Placement Units also agreed not to transfer any ownership interest in, except to permitted transferees, their Private Placement Units until 30 days following the completion of the business combination.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On August 22, 2024 and April 28, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 and $500,000, respectively, to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes are unsecured, interest-free and due the date on which the Company closes the IPO. The outstanding loan balance was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account on May 27, 2025. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company had $0 and $200,000 outstanding loan balance under the Promissory Note, respectively. 

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors, or their affiliates/designees may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans (“Working Capital Loans”) may be convertible into private units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of its initial Business Combination. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

 

As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. 

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor on August 22, 2024, commencing on the effective date of the registration statement through the earlier of the initial business combination or the liquidation of the Company, to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. On April 4, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into the First Amendment to the Administrative Services Agreement, pursuant to which the monthly fee was increased to $20,000. The Company incurred and paid the Sponsor $45,806 and $60,000 for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, of which $14,194 was included in the current portion of prepaid expenses as of July 31, 2025.

Other

 

On August 13, 2024, the Company engaged Celine & Partners PLLC (“Celine”) to represent it in connection with the IPO for a fee of $350,000. Celine is controlled by Mr. Hui Chen, who is the husband of Ms. Chen Chen, who controls the Sponsor. Retainer payments totaling $100,000 are payable upon meeting each milestone: (i) an initial retainer fee of $50,000 and (ii) $50,000 upon the initial filing with the SEC of the registration statement for the IPO. The balance of $250,000 will be paid upon the closing of IPO. On January 10, 2025, the Company revised its engagement agreement with Celine to include $100,000 legal fees for additional legal services. The outstanding balance of $350,000 was paid prior to the closing of the IPO.

 

Additionally, the Company engaged Celine to represent it for all U.S. corporate and securities compliance matters. A flat fee of $10,000 per month is charged for the ongoing public reports such as Form 10-Qs, 10-Ks, Form 8-Ks and press releases. On January 10, 2025, the Company and Celine amended the engagement letter to increase the monthly fee to $20,000.

 

The Company incurred $40,000 in legal fees for each of the three and six months ending July 31, 2025, and paid $60,000, of which $20,000 was included in the current portion of prepaid expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets as of July 31, 2025.

 

On May 5, 2025, the Company engaged Celine to represent it in all corporate and securities compliance matters in connection with its initial business combination and agrees to pay the following fees: (i) an initial retainer fee of $50,000; (ii) $50,000 upon execution of the Business Combination Agreement (BCA) related to the SPAC merger; (iii) $50,000 upon filing Form F-4 with the SEC; (iv) $50,000 upon receipt of SEC comments and providing corresponding responses; and (v) an closing fee of $50,000.

 

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including tariffs, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.

 

As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine, Hamas/Israel conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and potential future sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and underlying securities), EBC founder shares and any units the insiders or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make demands that the Company register such securities. Both the holders of the Founder Shares and the holders of the Private Placement Units as well as units issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company, if applicable, will have the ability to elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise its demand and “piggy-back” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the commencement of sales in this offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

The Company has granted EBC a right of first refusal for a period commencing from the consummation of the IPO until the consummation of the initial business combination or the liquidation of the trust account in the event that the Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period (but in no event longer than three years from the consummation of the IPO) to act as book running manager, placement agent and/or arranger for all financings where the Company seeks to pursue any equity-linked financings relating to or in connection with a business combination and to receive at least 45% of the aggregate gross spread or fees from any and all such financings.

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company has also granted EBC, for a period commencing from the consummation of the IPO until 12 months after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account in the event the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time (but in no event longer than three years from the consummation of the IPO), a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriter for any U.S. registered public offering of securities undertaken by our officer for the purpose of raising capital and placing 90% or more of the proceeds in a trust account (or other similar account) to be used to acquire one or more operating businesses that have not been identified at the time of the public offering.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted EBC, the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the effective date of the IPO to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter fully excised its over-allotment option on May 30, 2025.

 

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and over-allotment, or $1,725,000 which was paid upon the closing of the IPO and the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO (or $3,018,750), except that one percentage point (out of the 3.5%) shall be payable pro-rata on the amount remaining in the Trust Account following the Business Combination in relation to the amount following the closing of the over-allotment option. The remaining fee shall be payable as follows: (i) 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering shall be payable in cash and (ii) 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering shall be payable in convertible notes, containing customary terms, convertible into Ordinary Shares six months after the completion of initial Business Combination.

 

In addition, the Company will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom it completes an initial Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 60 days from the effective date of the IPO, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

 

Note 7 — Shareholders’ (Deficit) Equity

 

Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders, except as required by law.

 

On September 30, 2024, EBC entered into a securities subscription agreement with the Company to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares (“EBC founder shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,348, or approximately $0.0087 per share. On January 10, 2025, EBC agreed to reduce the subscription amount by 300,000 EBC founder shares for no consideration, resulting in EBC holding 200,000 EBC founder shares.

 

EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. None of the EBC founder shares may be transferred, assigned or sold (except to the same permitted transferees as the Founder Shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the Founder Shares must agree to, each as described herein) until the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

 

As of January 31, 2025, there were 3,075,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full. As a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of its over-allotment option on May 30, 2025, no shares are subject to forfeiture and as a result, there were 3,373,750 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2025. 

 

Rights — Each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per ordinary share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order to receive one share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

 

17

 

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the ordinary shares underlying the 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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 9 — Segment Information

 

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

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable segment. The CODM reviews the position of total assets available to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities.

 

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

 

               
    For the
Three Months Ended
July 31,
2025
   

For the
Six Months Ended

July 31,
2025

 
General and administrative expenses   $ 331,247     $ 351,184  
Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account   $ 635,672     $ 635,672  

 

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are interest earned on investments held in Trust Account and formation and operational costs. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

 

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when these financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company identified the following subsequent events, that would require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On September 9, 2025, Pelican entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pelican Holdco, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Holdco”), Pelican Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, Greenland Exploration Limited, a Texas Corporation (“Greenland”), Greenland Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, and March GL Company, a Texas corporation (“March GL”).

 

Prior to the closing, Pelican will effect a domestication pursuant to which Pelican will discontinue as a Cayman Islands exempted company and domesticate as a Texas corporation (the “Domestication”). Upon the Domestication, each issued and outstanding Pelican security will remain outstanding and automatically represent a corresponding security of Pelican as a Texas corporation, without any action required by the holders.

 

19

 

 

Following the Domestication, the transaction will include a series of mergers whereby Pelican, Greenland, and March GL will each merge with subsidiaries of Holdco, which will be renamed Greenland Energy Company and become publicly traded company on the Nasdaq.

 

The Merger consideration being a number of shares of Holdco common stock with an aggregate value equal to US$215,000,000, based upon a per share value of US$10.00. Existing Greenland shareholders will receive an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Holdco common stock and existing March GL shareholders will receive an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Holdco common stock. Pelican shareholders will receive one share of Holdco common stock for each share of Pelican common stock they currently hold (subject to redemptions).

 

Transfer of Founder Shares

 

Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Sponsor and any other party that holds Founder Shares (except for EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.), to (i) forfeit and cancel, in aggregate, 718,750 Founder Shares, and (ii) following such forfeiture, transfer to FG Merchant Partners LP (a shareholder of March GL), pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, 20% of the total remaining Founder Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be 431,250 Founder Shares representing 20% of 2,156,250 Founder Shares post-forfeiture), at the same purchase price per share as originally paid by the Sponsor for such Founder Shares. Following such transfer, the Sponsor and any other party that holds Founder Shares (excluding EarlyBirdCapital, Inc.) shall retain 1,725,000 Founder Shares, in addition to any private units acquired in connection with Pelicans IPO.

 

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated by Pelican or Greenland or March GL under certain circumstances, including, among others: (a) by mutual written consent of Holdco, Greenland and March GL; (b) by either Holdco or Greenland or March GL if the Closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before June 30, 2026, (c) by Holdco if any of the Companies shall have failed to obtain the necessary shareholder approvals; (d) by either Greenland or March GL or Pelican if the Pelican Special Meeting is held (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and has concluded, the Pelican’s shareholders have duly voted, and the Required Pelican Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was not obtained.

 

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated as a primary result of the actions or inactions of Pelican, Pelican shall, or shall cause the applicable Pelican shareholder to, transfer, convey and assign to Greenland one-third (1/3) of the issued and outstanding Founder Shares, free and clear of all Liens, as a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Termination Fee is intended to compensate Greenland for the time, expense and opportunity costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and is not a penalty.

 

Pelican Merger Sub Promissory Note - Greenland

 

On September 9, 2025, Pelican Merger Sub issued a promissory note to Greenland in the amount of $100,000, to be used, in part, for merger related transaction costs (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free and due on the date on which Greenland closes its initial business combination. On September 9, 2025, Greenland deposited $100,000 into Pelican’s operating account.

 

Certain Related Agreements

 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (i) the sponsor of Pelican, entered into a support agreement pursuant to which it agreed to vote its shares of Pelican in favor of the transaction and take certain other actions in support of the Mergers (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), and (ii) certain shareholders of Greenland and March GL entered into a support agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of the company in favor of the transaction and take certain other actions in support of the Mergers (the “Company Support Agreement”). At Closing, all Greenland and March GL shareholders will enter into lock-up agreements (the “Form of Company Lock-Up Agreement”), restricting the transfer of certain shares for specified periods following the Closing. Pelican, Holdco, Robert Price (the “Subject Party”) entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement (the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement”), to be effective as of the Closing, pursuant to which, among other things, the Subject Party may not, without the prior written consent of Pelican (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly engage in the Business (as defined by the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement), anywhere in Greenland.

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.

 

We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (“IPO” as defined below), and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 23, 2024 (inception) through July 31, 2025, were organizational activities and those necessary to consummate the IPO, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination.

 

We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2025, we had a net income of $307,410, which consisted of interest income of $638,657, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $331,247.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2025, we had a net income of $287,857, which consisted of interest income of $639,041, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $351,184.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On May 27, 2025, we consummated our IPO of 7,500,000 units (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in which Pelican Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., (“EBC”) purchased an aggregate of 276,250 private units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,762,500.

 

On May 28, 2025, the underwriters of the Company, notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full and purchased 1,125,000 additional units (the “Option Units”) for an aggregate of 8,625,000 Units sold. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $86,250,000. The over-allotment option closed on May 30, 2025. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 22,500 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in the private placement to the Sponsor and EBC, generating total gross proceeds of $225,000.

 

Upon the closing of the IPO and the closing of the over-allotment option on May 30, 2025, a total of $86,250,000 from the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our ordinary shares are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

 

As of July 31, 2025, we had cash of $252,240 and a working capital of $284,602. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the Founder shares and a total of $700,000 in loans from our Sponsor under two unsecured promissory notes.

 

23

 

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company currently has until August 27, 2026 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On August 22, 2024 and April 28, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note of an aggregate of $200,000 and $500,000 with the Sponsor, respectively. The Promissory Notes were unsecured, interest-free and due on the on the earlier of the date on which the Company closes the IPO or liquidates. We repaid the outstanding balance of $700,000 to the Sponsor on May 27, 2025 upon the closing of the IPO.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On August 22, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, commencing on the effective date of the registration statement of the initial public offering through the earlier of our consummation of a business combination or the Company’s liquidation, pursuant to which the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. On April 4, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into the First Amendment to the Administrative Services Agreement, pursuant to which the monthly fee was increased to $20,000.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

We granted EBC, the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the date of IPO, to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter fully excised its over-allotment option which was closed on May 30, 2025.

 

24

 

 

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,500,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the IPO on May 27, 2025. The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Option Unit, or $225,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the over-allotment option, on May 30, 2025.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

We have granted EBC a right of first refusal for a period commencing from the consummation of this offering until the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the trust account in the event that we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the prescribed time period (but in no event longer than three years from consummation of this offering) to act as book running manager, placement agent and/or arranger for all financings where we seek to raise equity, equity-linked, debt or mezzanine financings relating to or in connection with a business combination.

 

Subject to certain conditions, we have also granted EBC, for a period commencing from the consummation of this offering until 12 months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the trust account in the event we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the prescribed time (but in no event longer than three years from consummation of this offering), a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriter for any U.S. registered public offering of securities undertaken by our officer for the purpose of raising capital and placing 90% or more of the proceeds in a trust account (or other similar account) to be used to acquire one or more operating businesses that have not been identified at the time of the public offering.

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO (or $3,018,750), except that one percentage point (out of the 3.5%) shall be payable pro-rata on the amount remaining in the Trust Account following the Business Combination in relation to the amount following the closing of the over-allotment option. The remaining fee shall be payable as follows: (i) 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering shall be payable in cash and (ii) 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering shall be payable in convertible notes, containing customary terms, convertible into Ordinary Shares six months after the completion of initial Business Combination.

 

In addition, the Company will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom it completes an initial Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 60 days from the effective date of the IPO, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

25

 

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 30, 2025.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results

 

As of July 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation with the participation of management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended July 31, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended July 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
