NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Iron Horse Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 23, 2021 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity from November 23, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end. The registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on December 26, 2023. On December 29, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,900,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000 which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 2,457,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Bengochea SPAC Sponsors I LLC (the “sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $2,457,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $4,651,705 consisting of $586,500 of cash underwriting fees, $2,518,500 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,546,705 of other offering costs. The Units were listed on the Nasdaq Global Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Pursuant to Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination (net of taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to affect a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the IPO on December 29, 2023, an amount of $69,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trustee”) and invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any shares of common stock included in the Units sold in the IPO that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such shares of common stock if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or 18 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination as provided in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation), provided that, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the investment management trust agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee, the only way to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial business combination in the absence of a charter amendment is for the sponsor, upon at least five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, to deposit into the trust account $229,770, or $233,600 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, or an aggregate of $459,540, or $467,199 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, for each three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, and (iii) the Company’s failure to consummate a…
