Business Description

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations A Paradise Acquisition Corp. (formerly A Paradigm Acquisition Corp., the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (or the “BVI”) on November 9, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, shares exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although there is no restriction or limitation on what industry or geographic region the Company’s target operates in, it is the Company’s intention to pursue prospective targets that are in the leisure and entertainment sector. The Company has a wholly owned inactive subsidiary, A Paradise Merger Sub I, Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed on November 18, 2025 solely for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as November 26, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from November 9, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”), and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company, entering into the business combination agreement described below, and proceeding toward completion of the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividends and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor, A SPAC IV (Holdings) Corp., is a BVI company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on July 29, 2025. On July 31, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, no par value per share (the “Public Shares”) and one right (the “Public Rights”) to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units on July 29, 2025, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 600,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and the underwriters, Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (“CCM”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described in Note 4. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any, which expired unexercised on September 12, 2025. Five institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor) (“non-voting sponsor investors”) have purchased, indirectly, through the purchase of non-voting interests in our sponsor, an aggregate of 130,000 Private Placement Units (the “Non-Voting Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit ($1,300,000 in the aggregate). In connection with the non-voting sponsor investor indirectly purchasing, through the Sponsor, the Non-Voting Private Placement Units allocated to the non-voting sponsor investors in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor issued non-voting shares (the “Non-Voting Sponsor Shares”) at a nominal purchaser price to the non-voting sponsor investors at the closing of the IPO, reflecting interests in an aggregate of 1,368,421 Founder Shares (defined below) held by the Sponsor. On December 19, 2025, an affiliate of the Sponsor purchased all of the issued and outstanding Non-Voting Sponsor Shares from the non-voting sponsor investors. Transaction costs amounted to $12,645,418 consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $8,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $645,418 of other offering costs.…
