Overview
We are a blank check company formed in May 2024 for the purpose of completing a merger, asset acquisition, share exchange, or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We have not engaged in any operations or generated any revenue to date. Our only activities have been organizational and preparing for our initial public offering.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $180,000 in general and administrative costs, primarily related to public reporting and listing requirements as a newly public company. We have not generated any operating revenue yet, as we are still seeking to complete our initial business combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to our initial public offering, our liquidity needs were met through a $25,000 payment from our sponsor and $225,000 in loans, all of which were repaid upon the closing of the offering.
On April 3, 2025, we completed our initial public offering of 25 million units at $10 per unit, raising $250 million in gross proceeds. Simultaneously, we sold 620,000 private placement units to our sponsor for $6.2 million. The net proceeds from the offering and private placement, totaling $250 million, were placed in a trust account.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $0 in cash held in the trust account. We have approximately $1.3 million in funds available outside the trust account to identify and evaluate potential target businesses, conduct due diligence, and negotiate a business combination.
If the funds outside the trust account are insufficient, our sponsor or its affiliates may loan us additional funds. Up to $1.5 million of such loans may be convertible into private units of the post-combination company. We may also need to obtain additional financing to complete a business combination if the transaction requires more cash than is available in the trust account.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025. Our only material contractual obligation is an agreement to pay $5,000 per month for office space, utilities, and administrative support.
Critical Accounting Estimates
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to disclose.
Outlook
The new SEC rules for SPACs that went into effect in July 2024 may impact our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, as well as increase the associated costs and time. We continue to actively search for a suitable target company, but cannot assure that we will be successful in completing a transaction. Our ability to generate revenue and profits will depend on the business and operations of the company we acquire.
