We are a blank check company incorporated on November 13, 2025 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and 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, which we refer to throughout this Report as our initial business combination. While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry or geographic region, we intend to focus on companies that have an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $750 million to $1.5 billion or more, that complement our management team’s background in defense technology, advanced computing, software and media industry sectors. We believe that the operational, investment and capital markets experience of our management team will make us an attractive partner to potential target businesses, enhance our ability to complete a successful business combination, and bring value to the target post-business combination. The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering was declared effective on January 30, 2026. On February 20, 2026, we completed our initial public offering, which consisted of 23,000,000 units each comprising one Class A Share and one-third of one whole public warrant to purchase one Class A Share, including the exercise in full by the underwriter of an option to purchase up to 3,000,000 units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000. Also, on February 20, 2026, simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 695,000 units to our sponsor and BTIG at a purchase price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,950,000. Of those 695,000 private placement units, the sponsor purchased 465,000 private placement units and BTIG 230,000 private placement units. A total of $230,000,000 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement, which amount includes $8,050,000 of the underwriters’ deferred commission, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Our sponsor is Abony Sponsor I LLC. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement units, our equity, debt or a combination of cash, equity 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 a business combination will be successful. Business Strategy We believe that there are a range of target businesses that could benefit from our industry knowledge, relationships, capital and public vehicle. Our strategy is to capitalize on the significant experience, network and reach of our management team, along with our directors, to identify and complete our initial business combination with a target business that we believe will create shareholder value in the public markets. We intend to identify and contact potential target businesses and start to evaluate and pursue a possible business combination. In addition, we will communicate the parameters of our search to our network of relationships and transaction sources to help us identify potential target businesses. We plan to leverage our team’s collective experience and capital markets expertise to successfully complete a business combination, and then continue to support the combined company with our industry relationships, operational and capital markets expertise, and capital resources. 1 Our Management Team Our team is led by Lorne Abony and Leo Kofman, who collectively bring significant operating, investment, and special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) experience.
