over-allotment option financial
"the underwriters of the Issuer notified the Issuer of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full"
An over-allotment option is a special agreement that allows underwriters to sell more shares than initially planned if demand is high. Think of it like a retailer offering extra units of a popular product to meet additional customer interest. This option helps ensure the full sale is completed and can also give investors extra shares if they want more.
Private Units financial
"acquired, at a price of $10.00 per unit, 22,500 units (the "Private Units") in a private placement"
initial business combination financial
"one right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the completion of an initial business combination"
An initial business combination is the deal in which a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merges with or acquires an operating business to bring that business onto public markets. Think of the SPAC as an empty shell that raises money from investors, then uses that cash to buy a private company—this transaction turns the private company into a public one and often changes its ownership, valuation, and access to capital, so investors should watch for shifts in risk, future growth prospects, and shareholder rights.
beneficial ownership financial
"disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares held by the sponsor except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares held by the sponsor except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
