5 — RELATED PARTIES
Founder Shares
On March 23, 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 ordinary shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,
or approximately $0.009 per share. Also, on March 23, 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 ordinary shares to EBC for an aggregate purchase price of $1,739, or approximately $0.009 per share. On June 29, 2026, the Company
effected a 1 for 1.33333 share split of the Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 3,833,333 Founder Shares, and EBC holding 266,667 EBC Founder Shares. On the same day, EBC agreed to forfeit and
cancel 66,667 EBC Founder Shares. All share and per share data has been retrospectively presented. As of September 2, 2026, both of the payments due to the Company are recorded as share subscription receivable in the shareholders’ equity
section of the accompanying balance sheet. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 500,000 shares, which remain subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised within the 45-day period following the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
Based on the ASC 718 Stock-based
compensation analysis as of the agreement date of March 23, 2026, the 200,000 EBC ordinary shares have a fair value of $864,000 or $4.32 per ordinary share. The net amount between the subscription share receivable associated with these and the
fair value amount has been charged to deferred offering costs and additional paid in capital. The Company established the fair value of the EBC Shares on the date of the grant agreement, using a calculation which takes into consideration the
underlying share price of $9.83, a volatility of 7%, and a discount on marketability of 2.4%.
On August 20, 2026, the Sponsor
transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to three of the Company’s independent directors (25,000 each) for an aggregate consideration of $489, or approximately $0.007 per share. The Founder Shares were granted in exchange for their
services to the Company through the Company’s initial Business Combination. The transfer of Founder Shares to the directors are in the scope of ASC 718. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity classified awards is
measured at grant date fair value. The total fair value of the 75,000 Founder Shares transferred to the directors on August 20, 2026 was $319,500 or $4.26 per share. The Company established the initial fair value of the Founder Shares on
August 20, 2026, using a calculation prepared by a third party valuation firm which takes into consideration the following market assumptions: (i) share price of $9.70, (ii) discount for lack of marketability of 2.3%, and
(iii) probability of successful business combination of 45.0%. The Founder Shares transferred are subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through the Company’s initial Business Combination). Stock-based compensation
would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares transferred multiplied by the grant date
fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the transfer of Founder Shares. As of September 2, 2026, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and
therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
On August 28, 2026, the third-party investors subscribed for an aggregate of
800,000 Founder Shares of the Sponsor. No new Founder Shares were issued to the Sponsor. Because this subscription is treated as a transfer by the Sponsor to such third-party investors of a portion of the Founder Shares, the Company has analyzed and
concluded that such transfer is in the scope of SAB Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering, which indicates that “Specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities may properly be deferred and charged
against the gross proceeds of the offering”. The subscription price paid by the third-party investors of the Sponsor for such interests in the Sponsor was $5,217 in the aggregate, or $0.007 per Founder Share. The total fair value of the
800,000 Founder Shares on August 31, 2026, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement, was $3,392,000 or $4.24 per share. The Company established the initial fair value of the Founder Shares on August 31, 2026, using
Discount for Lack of Marketability Finnerty Model, and classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs including the probability of a Business Combination, the probability of the Initial Public Offering, and
other variables. The primary assumptions used in the valuation of Founder Shares were (i) share price $9.68, (ii) discount for lack of marketability of 2.6%, and (iii) probability of successful Business Combination of 45.0%. The fair
value of Founder Shares transferred to third-party investors less the consideration paid by them, or $3,386,783, was recorded as an offering cost and was allocated solely to permanent equity and was charged to additional paid-in capital.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell
any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or
other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
The Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $150,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public
Offering (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of (i) September 30, 2026 or (ii) the closing of the Initial Public
Offering or (iii) the date on which the Company determines not to proceed with the Initial Public Offering. As of September 2, 2026, the Company had borrowed $150,000 under the Promissory Note.
