NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Launch One Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on February 21, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities for the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relate to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company and negotiating the terms of and consummating a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 13, 2024 (File No. 333-280188), was declared effective on July 11, 2024 (as amended, the “IPO Registration Statement”). On July 15, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) in the amount of 3,000,000 units (the “Option Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”), as discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Public Warrant”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Launch One Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the several underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”), generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of those 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cantor purchased 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Transaction costs amounted to $15,574,281, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee (as defined in Note 6) of $10,950,000, and $624,281 of other offering costs. The Company’s management (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less the Deferred Fee). The 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 the Deferred Fee held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).…
