On August 8, 2025, the Issuer effected a 1 for 1.5 share split of the Founder Shares resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. On August 19, 2025, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of the independent directors at a purchase price of approximately $0.003 per share. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, 325,000 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding 8,260,000 Founder Shares.
On September 10, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer's Initial Public Offering (the "IPO"), the Sponsor purchased 530,000 units ("Placement Units") of the Issuer at $10.00 per Placement Unit, pursuant to a Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2025, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the "Placement Units Purchase Agreement"), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (as described more fully in the Issuer's Final Prospectus dated September 8, 2025).
The Ordinary Shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below. Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
