The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income on cash and cash equivalents in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Public Share”) and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Original Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions). </p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> Transaction costs amounted to $6,637,469, consisting of $550,000 of cash underwriting fees, $5,750,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $337,469 of other offering costs. </p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination.

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Ongoing military escalation between the United States and Iran has heightened risks to critical infrastructure, shipping routes, and energy supplies. Any further deterioration could drive sustained increases in oil prices, disrupt global trade, contribute to macroeconomic instability, and materially heighten the risk of a global recession. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations.

Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies.
