FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
PLUM Acquisition Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company, filed its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2025. The company reported a net loss of $1.4 million for the quarter, primarily due to expenses related to its public offering and administrative costs. As of March 31, 2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million and a total shareholders’ deficit of $24.4 million. The company has not yet identified a target company for a business combination and is currently focused on identifying and evaluating potential acquisition opportunities.
Overview
We are a blank check company, also known as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), that was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 10, 2024. Our purpose is to identify and merge with a target business in the future. We raised $172.5 million through an initial public offering on January 16, 2025, and an additional $6.7 million from the sale of private placement units.
Financial Performance
Since our inception, we have not engaged in any operations or generated any operating revenue. Our only activities have been organizational tasks and preparing for the initial public offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported a net income of $1,182,055, which was primarily due to $1,488,400 in interest earned on the funds held in our trust account, offset by $306,345 in formation and operational costs.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $577,442 in cash and $175,713,400 in investments held in the trust account. We intend to use the funds in the trust account, along with any debt or equity financing, to complete a business combination with a target company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by our sponsor and loans from our sponsor. After the offering, we had $971,550 in cash held outside the trust account for working capital purposes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $338,313 in cash for operating activities. We may need to obtain additional financing, either by issuing debt or equity, to complete a business combination if the funds in the trust account are insufficient.
Outlook and Risks
Our management has determined that our current liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure that our plans to raise additional capital or complete a business combination will be successful.
Some key risks we face include:
- Inability to identify and complete a suitable business combination
- Insufficient funds in the trust account to complete a business combination
- Inability to obtain additional financing if needed
- Failure to obtain shareholder approval for a proposed business combination
- Regulatory or legal challenges to a proposed business combination
Overall, as a newly formed SPAC, we face significant uncertainty and challenges in executing our business plan and completing a successful merger. Our future success will depend on our ability to identify an attractive target, negotiate favorable terms, and secure the necessary financing and shareholder support.
