Overview We are a blank check company incorporated on May 21, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. To date, our efforts have been limited to (i) organizational activities, (ii) activities related to our Initial Public Offering, and (iii) searching for and consummating a Business Combination. We have also generated no operating revenues to date and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial Business Combination. Initial Public Offering Our IPO Registration Statement became effective on September 5, 2024. On September 9, 2024, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Public Units, including 3,000,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public 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 Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 760,000 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,600,000. Of those 760,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 450,000 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 310,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement. A total of $231,150,000, comprised of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. It is the job of our Sponsor and Management Team to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Management Team is led by (i) William J. (Bill) Sandbrook, our Executive Chairman, and (ii) William M. (Matt) Brown, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. In addition, our Management Team is aided by Mario Andretti, our advisor, and Michael M. Andretti, our special advisor and a member of our Board of Directors. We must complete our initial Business Combination by (x) September 9, 2026, the end of our Combination Period, which is 24-months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, (y) such earlier liquidation date as our Board may approve or (z) such later date as our shareholders may approve pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles.. If our initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, our existence will terminate, and we will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account, as described elsewhere in this Report. We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Any such amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team. StoreDot Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements On December 3, 2025, we entered into the StoreDot BCA with (i) StoreDot, (ii) Pubco, (iii) Company Merger Sub and (iv) SPAC Merger Sub for the StoreDot Business Combination. 1 Simultaneously with the execution of the StoreDot BCA, the Sponsor, our company, Pubco and our directors and officers entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement Amendment”).…
