Overview LightWave Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated 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 or initial Business Combination. Initial Public Offering and Private Placement On June 26, 2025 the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”), which consisted of 21,562,500 units (the “Units”), including the exercise in full by the underwriter of an option to purchase up to 2,812,500 Units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), of the Company, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”) of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $215,625,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 606,250 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, each Private Placement Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable Warrant, each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Of those 606,250 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 390,625 Private Placement Units and BTIG, LLC purchased 215,625 Private Placement Units. The Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the registration statement filed with the SEC relating to the IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Following the closing of the IPO, an amount of $215,625,000 (which amount includes $7,546,875 of the underwriter’s deferred discount) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the private placement was placed in a trust account which will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; and/or held in cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts). To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the trust account, we may, at any time (based on our management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account. As of December 31, 2025, funds in the trust account totaled approximately $220,079,851. On August 15, 2025, holders of the Units could elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and Warrants included in the Units. The Class A ordinary shares and Warrants trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “LWAC” and “LWACW,” respectively. Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “LWACU.” Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A ordinary shares and Warrants. Business Strategy Although we currently intend to focus on target businesses in the technology industry, we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location. We intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business.…
