We are a blank check company incorporated on April 30, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination. Although we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, we are focusing our search on companies operating in the financial services, digital assets, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. Our executive officers consists of: ● Brandon G. Lutnick, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who joined Cantor in April 2022 and has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cantor since February 2025; and ● Jane Novak, our Chief Financial Officer, who joined Cantor in October 2017 and, since then, has served as the Global Head of Accounting Policy. We, the Sponsor and CF&Co. are all affiliates of Cantor. Cantor is a diversified company primarily specializing in financial and real estate services for customers operating in the global financial and commercial real estate markets. Cantor’s businesses include CF&Co., a leading independent middle market investment bank and primary dealer; a controlling interest in BGC Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BGC), a leading global brokerage and technology company primarily servicing the global financial markets; and a controlling interest in Newmark Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRK), a leading full-service commercial real estate services business. We believe that the combination of our management team’s and our affiliates’ financial services, financial and real estate technology, and real estate industry expertise and proven ability to grow businesses through acquisitions make us uniquely qualified to pursue acquisitions. Past performance of Cantor, our management team or any of their respective affiliates (including any prior Cantor SPAC) is not a guarantee (i) that we will be able to identify a candidate for the Business Combination; (ii) that we will be able to successfully negotiate a business combination agreement and consummate the closing of the Business Combination into which we have entered; or (iii) that the post-Business Combination performance of any such combined company will be positive. Shareholders should not rely on any positive historical performance records of Cantor, our management team, any of their respective affiliates (including any prior Cantor SPAC) as indicative of our future performance. Initial Public Offering On August 22, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 45,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, including 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $450,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of the Private Placement Shares to the Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. 1 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on August 22, 2025, an amount of $450,000,000 ($10.00 per share) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. The funds in the Trust Account were initially held in an account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and on August 25, 2025, were transferred to an account at CF Secured, LLC (“CF Secured”), an affiliate of the Sponsor. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or held as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. We have until August 22, 2027 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such earlier liquidation date as the Board may approve or such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles, to consummate the Business Combination.…
