NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
ClimateRock (the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a blank check company on December 6, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company focuses on opportunities in climate change, environment, renewable energy and emerging, clean technologies.
In order to affect a Business Combination, the Company owns subsidiary ClimateRock Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdings” or “Pubco”), and its subsidiary ClimateRock Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and post-offering activities in search for a target to consummate a Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Nasdaq Listing
On April 10, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that its Public Shareholders were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). The notifications received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. The Nasdaq rules provide the Company with 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and a compliance period of up to 180 calendar days in which to evidence compliance. The Company submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance on May 28, 2024, and the Nasdaq Staff granted the Company an extension until October 7, 2024 to comply with the Public Holders Requirement.
On October 8, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Staff that, since the Company had not regained compliance with the Public Holders Requirement, its securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Hearing Panel of Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Panel”) by October 15, 2024. On October 15, 2024, the Company submitted a request to appeal to the Nasdaq Panel and the hearing was held on December 10, 2024.
The Company’s securities continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of March 31, 2025. Nasdaq has not yet filed a Form 25 to remove the Company’s securities from listing under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Until Nasdaq files Form 25 and the 10-calendar-day effectiveness period elapses, the Company remains listed on the Nasdaq exchange.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2025, or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 25, 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents

short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024, the Company had a cash balance of $

CLIMATEROCK
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Cash and cash equivalents in Trust Account
The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of the consummation of its first Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are classified as cash equivalents. Gains and losses resulting from the change in the balance of the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account are included in dividend income on the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income earned is fully reinvested into the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flow. Such interest income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination (see Note 1).

Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

CLIMATEROCK
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Use of estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned and/or dividends on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets.
Income taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net income (loss) per share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less interest income in Trust Account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and entitled to registration rights. The Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Share.
The Private Placement Warrants (including Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Following such period, the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will be transferable, assignable, or salable, except that the Private Placement Warrants will not trade. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.
The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement, dated April 27, 2022 the Company entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as Warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). If a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the ninetieth (90th) day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call the Warrants for redemption, once they become exercisable :
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | at a price of $ |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, Management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement.
The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share capitalization, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Ordinary Shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants shares. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.
If: (i) the Company issues
additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares for capital raising purposes
in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants as equity instruments, so long as the Company continues to meet the accounting requirements for equity instruments.
Rights
Each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of a Business Combination, except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, and even if the holder of such Right redeemed all Ordinary Shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of a Right in order to receive its additional Ordinary Shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by shareholders in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of Ordinary Shares will receive in the transaction on an as-exchanged for Ordinary Shares basis, and each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively exchange its Rights in order to receive the 1/10 share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of a Business Combination. More specifically, the Rights holder will be required to indicate its election to exchange the Right for the underlying shares within a fixed period of time after which period the Rights will expire worthless.
23
CLIMATEROCK
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to the Rights agreement, a Rights holder may exchange Rights only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. This means that the Company will not issue fractional Ordinary Shares in connection with an exchange of Rights and Rights may be exchanged only in multiples of ten Rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Fractional Ordinary Shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a blank check company on December 6, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting an initial Business Combination.
Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial Business Combination, we focus on opportunities in environmental protection, renewable energy, fighting climate change, and any other related industries. We target companies with established operating models that have strong management teams, realigned capital structures, positive cash flows prospects, and a clear and well-defined pathway for growing profitably over the long-term. We are an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2025, we had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2025 relates to the our formation and our Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and post-Initial Public Offering, searching for a target to consummate and consummating an initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate nonoperating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.
The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on April 27, 2022. On May 2, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, including 375,000 Option Units that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, generating gross proceeds of $78,750,000.
26
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 3,762,500 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor in the Private Placement a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $3,762,500.
Management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an initial Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to Management for working capital purposes). We will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully effect an initial Business Combination.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering was placed in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to our shareholders, as described below. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of an initial Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) with respect to our pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination unless we provide dissenting Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any Ordinary Shares (including the Founder Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial Business Combination (or to sell any Ordinary Shares in a tender offer in connection with an initial Business Combination if we do not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if an initial Business Combination is not consummated. However, our Sponsor, directors and officers will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if we fail to complete its initial Business Combination.
Recent Developments
On January 6, 2025, the Nasdaq Panel granted our request for an exception to the Public Holders Requirement until April 7, 2025, at which time we needed to demonstrate compliance with the Public Holders Requirement. On April 2, 2025, we notified the Nasdaq Panel that we would not be able to close our initial Business Combination by the Nasdaq Panel’s April 7, 2025 deadline.

On April 8, 2025, we received written notice from the Nasdaq Panel indicating that the Nasdaq Panel had determined to delist our securities from Nasdaq and that trading in our securities would be suspended at the open of trading on April 10, 2025, due to our failure to comply with the terms of its earlier decision. Pursuant to such decision, among other things, we were required to complete our initial Business Combination by no later than April 7, 2025. Accordingly, the Nasdaq Panel determined to delist our securities from Nasdaq. Our public securities were suspended from Nasdaq on April 10, 2025; however, as of the date of this Report, the Form 25-NSE has not yet been filed to delist our securities from Nasdaq.
Following the suspension of trading on Nasdaq, our Units, Public Shares, Public Warrants and Rights are quoted on the Pink tier of the OTC under the symbols “CLRCUF,” “CLRCF,” “CLRCWF,” and “CLRCRF”, respectively.
On March 26, 2025, Abhishek Bawa notified the Board of his resignation as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of March 26, 2025.
On April 13, 2025, Michael Geary was appointed to serve as our Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of April 10, 2025.
On April 30 and May 1, 2025, we held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2025 EGM”) and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than November 2, 2025 (the “2025 Extension”). In connection with the 2025 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 2,016,792 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $24.7 million (approximately $12.23 per Public Share) were removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
In connection with the 2025 Extension, the Sponsor and its designees agreed to contribute an amount equal to $107,623.44 ($0.04 per Public Share that is not redeemed), for each calendar month (commencing on May 2, 2025 and ending on the 1st day of each subsequent month) until November 2, 2025 (each, an “Extension Period”). As a result, on June 20, 2025, we issued the 2025 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $107,623.44 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extension. As of June 30, 2025, $15,000 was deposited and approximately $15,647 (including applicable interest) is due to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the 2025 Extension.
In addition, we agreed to waive our right to withdraw up to $50,000 of interest accrued on the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses, should we ultimately liquidate prior to an initial Business Combination (the “Dissolution Expense Waiver”). As a result, we will not withdraw up to $50,000 of interest, as permitted by our Amended and Restated Articles, for such dissolution expenses upon liquidation. All interest then-accrued will be held in the Trust Account and will be released to Public Shareholders upon the earliest to occur of (i) the redemption of the Public Shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles, (ii) the completion of our initial Business Combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by November 2, 2025 or such earlier date as determined by our Board.
Extensions of Our Business Combination Period
On April 27, 2023, we held the 2023 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from November 2, 2023 to May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2024 (including prior to May 2, 2023). In connection with the 2023 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 5,297,862 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account in the 2023 Redemptions. As a result, $55,265,334.22 (approximately $10.43 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.

On April 27, 2023, we held the 2023 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from November 2, 2023 to May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2024 (including prior to May 2, 2023). In connection with the 2023 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 5,297,862 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account in the 2023 Redemptions. As a result, $55,265,334.22 (approximately $10.43 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
On April 29, 2024, we held the 2024 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from May 2, 2024 to May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2025. In connection with the 2024 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 111,915 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.27 million (approximately $11.37 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
We may seek to further extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws and regulations by amending the Amended and Restated Articles. Such an 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.
On April 30 and May 1, 2025, we held the 2025 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to (i) extend the Combination Period from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and (ii) to permit the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than November 2, 2025. In connection with the 2025 EGM, Public Shareholders holding 2,016,792 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $24.67 million (approximately $12.23 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
Founder Share Conversion
On March 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 1,968,749 Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares, on a one-for-one basis in the Founder Share Conversion. The Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Share Conversion, including among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following the Founder Share Conversion and the Extension Redemptions, and as of March 31, 2025, there were 2,535,305 Class A Ordinary Shares and one Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding and the Sponsor holds approximately 77.65% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Termination of Proposed Business Combination with EEW
On October 6, 2022, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Pubco, SPAC Merger Sub, and E.E.W. Eco Energy World PLC, a company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“EEW”). On August 3, 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) with Pubco, SPAC Merger Sub and EEW.
On November 29, 2023, we notified EEW that we had elected to terminate the Original Business Combination Agreement effective immediately, pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and 9.2 thereof, since the conditions to the closing of such Business Combination were not satisfied or waived by the outside date of September 30, 2023. As a result, the Original Business Combination Agreement is of no further force and effect, except for certain specified provisions in the Original Business Combination Agreement, which survive its termination and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
GreenRock Business Combination
On December 30, 2023, we entered into the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement with GreenRock, Pubco and the Merger Subs, which was amended on November 6, 2024. Pursuant to the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into our Company, with our Company continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, in connection with which all of our existing securities will be exchanged for rights to receive securities of Pubco as follows: (a) immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement), every issued and outstanding Unit will be automatically separated and the holders thereof will be deemed to hold one (1) Class A Ordinary Share, one-half (1/2) of a Public Warrant and one Right, (b) each Class A Ordinary Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not been redeemed and is not a Dissenting Share (as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement) shall automatically convert into one Pubco Ordinary Share (as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement), par value $0.0001, issued by Pubco, (c) each Class B Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001, outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time that is not a Dissenting Share shall automatically convert into one Pubco Ordinary Share, (d) each Public Warrant and each Private Placement Warrant shall automatically convert into one warrant to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares on substantially the same terms and conditions; (e) each Right will be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have been received by the holder of such Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles, and (ii) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into GreenRock, with GreenRock continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, pursuant to which (x) each GreenRock Ordinary Share )(as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement ) shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of Pubco Ordinary Shares constituting the Merger Consideration (as defined in the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement) and (y) each issued and outstanding GreenRock convertible security shall be converted into Pubco convertible securities of like tenor and shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable organizational document of GreenRock, except that they shall represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of GreenRock Ordinary Shares.
For a full description of the GreenRock Business Combination Agreement and the proposed GreenRock Business Combination, please see “Item 1. Business”.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception up to March 31, 2025 has been related to our formation and our Initial Public Offering, and we will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate nonoperating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We also expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of becoming a public company (i.e., for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses in search for a target to consummate an initial Business Combination.
30
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $185,038, comprised of $307,887 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account and $0 of interest income offset by formation and operating costs of $462,925 and administrative service fees - related party of $30,000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $327,534, comprised of $372,627 of dividend income earned on the Trust Account offset by unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0, formation and operating costs of $670,161, and administrative success fees - related party of $30,000.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Reserves and Going Concern
Initial Public Offering
On May 2, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 Units, including 375,000 Option Units that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, we sold 3,762,500 Private Placement Warrants, including 112,500 Private Placement Warrants that were issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. From the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, we retained approximately $1,100,000 for working capital needs after transfer of proceeds to the Trust Account and payment of expenses related to the Initial Public Offering and directors’ and officers’ insurance. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $4,480 and $14,384 in cash held outside the Trust Account, respectively.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares if $1,500,000 of Working Capital Loans were so converted), at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
31
Eternal Loans
We agreed to borrow up to $500,000 from Eternal, an affiliate of our Company through common ownership, to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Eternal loaned us $63,073 under the First Eternal Loan. Pursuant to the loan agreement and its subsequent amendments, the First Eternal Loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the closing of our Initial Public Offering. The First Eternal Loan was fully repaid on June 2, 2022.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Fourth Eternal Loan was $50,000 and no interest was accrued.
On April 12, 2023, we entered into a loan agreement with Eternal for a loan facility in the principal amount of up to $500,000, on an unsecured basis and bearing no interest. The Fifth Eternal Loan was available to be drawn down in four installments: $150,000 on April 12, 2023, $125,000 on May 3, 2023, $125,000 on June 3, 2023, and $100,000 on July 3, 2023. The maturity date was June 30, 2025, or if earlier, the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, as amended by the Fifth Eternal Loan Amendment. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we borrowed an additional $0 and $153,619, respectively, beyond the initial terms of the Fifth Eternal Loan.
On November 1, 2023, we entered into a loan agreement with Eternal in the principal amount of up to $335,000 on an unsecured basis and bearing no interest.

The maturity date for each of these loans was extended to June 30, 2025, or if earlier, the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, as amended by the Eternal Loan Amendment.
32
On August 5, 2024, we entered into a loan agreement with Eternal for a loan facility in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, on an unsecured basis and bearing no interest. The Seventh Eternal Loan is available for drawdown in unlimited number of installments in the period from August 3, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

Each member of our Board of Directors has been informed of Mr. Ratelband’s material interest in such loan agreements, and upon the approval and recommendation of our Audit Committee, our Board of Directors has determined that the above loans with Eternal are fair and in our best interests and has voted to approve such loans.
Gluon Renewable Energies Limited Loan
On November 1, 2024, we entered into a loan agreement with Gluon Renewable Energies to advance the sum of $20,000 to assist with short term cash demands. We agreed to repay the principal amount of $20,000, plus $1 interest, on or before February 28, 2025. The repayment deadline was subsequently extended to August 31, 2025. As of March, 31, 2025, the balance was $20,000.
Convertible Promissory Note
On May 2, 2023, we issued the 2023 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $75,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2023 and continuing through May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. Per the 2023 Extension Note, as amended, if we do not repay the 2023 Extension Note within five days of the maturity date, five percent (5%) interest per month will accrue on the unpaid principal balance until the 2023 Extension Note is fully repaid. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2023 Extension Note is par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2023 Extension Note was $900,000 and $900,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
On April 30, 2024, we issued the 2024 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $50,000 per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2024 and continuing through May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2024 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2024 Extension Note is par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2024 Extension Note was $550,000 and $400,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
33
On June 20, 2025, we issued the 2025 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $107,623.44 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $0.04 per unredeemed share per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2025 and continuing through November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2025 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $4,480 and a working capital deficit of $$6,141,038. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the issuance date of the audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. Prior to consummation of a Business Combination, we have the ability to secure additional funding from the Sponsor or other related parties. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful by May 2, 2025. The audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to such registration rights.
Underwriting Agreement
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering received a cash underwriting discount of $1,181,250 following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are also entitled to a deferred commission of $2,362,500, which will be payable solely in the event that we complete an initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriters also received 118,125 Units in the Initial Public Offering, with such units restricted from sale until the closing of the initial Business Combination and with no redemption rights from the Trust Account.
Additionally, we granted the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering for a period beginning on the closing of the Initial Public Offering and ending on the earlier of the 12 month anniversary of the closing of an initial Business Combination or April 27, 2025, a right of first refusal to act as (i) exclusive financial advisor in connection with our proposed Business Combinations for a fee of up to 6.0% of the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (subject to our right to allocate up to 50% of such fee to another financial institution or extinguish such amount in our sole discretion), and (ii) sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at the underwriters’ sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt Initial Public Offering, including all equity linked financings, during such period for us or any successor to us or any of our subsidiaries, on terms agreed to by both us and underwriters in good faith.
34
Transaction Expenses
On May 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement (the “EGS Agreement”) with Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”) to (x) act as U.S. securities council to us in connection with pending acquisition targets for us to acquire consistent with our Initial Public Offering and (y) assist in U.S. securities work related to the initial Business Combination. The fee structure for this agreement is as follows: (i) an upfront retainer of $37,500, (ii) billing on an hourly basis for time, (iii) each month fifty percent (50%) of the amount billed shall be due and owing, (iv) the remaining fifty percent (50%) not paid, on a monthly basis, will be deferred until the closing of the initial Business Combination and will be paid with a twenty percent (20%) premium. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total outstanding billed amount for services provided by EGS is $939,400 and $932,285 of which $469,700 and $466,143 (50% of the outstanding balance), respectively, is considered outstanding per the terms of the EGS Agreement and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of the audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. As the initial Business Combination cannot be deemed probable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and payment of the deferred portion of the outstanding balance is contingent upon a successful initial Business Combination, no amount was accrued for the deferred portion of the outstanding amount or the premium.
On August 17, 2022, we entered into an agreement (as amended, the “Maxim Letter Agreement”) with Maxim to pay a fee (the “Maxim Success Fee”) upon completion of one or more successful transactions. On October 3, 2022, we amended the Maxim Letter Agreement to state that we will pay to Maxim, upon closing of such successful transaction(s), a fee based upon the amount of cash we have in the Trust Account immediately prior to consummation of the transaction and/or contributed to the transaction. If the amount of such cash is less than $50,000,000, Maxim’s fee will be equal to $200,000 in cash and an additional $150,000 of common stock of the post-transaction Company (the “New Common Stock”). If the amount of such cash is equal to or greater than $40 million, the Maxim Success Fee will be $500,000 cash. If the amount of such cash is equal to or greater than $75 million, the Maxim Success Fee will be $500,000 cash and an additional $500,000 payable in either cash or New Common Stock, at our option. The New Common Stock will be issued to Maxim Partners LLC, will be valued at the same price per share/exchange ratio as in the definitive transaction documentation, and it will have unlimited piggyback registration rights. The Maxim Success Fee will be paid upon the consummation of the transaction.
On July 11, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement with ALANTRA Corporate Finance, S.A.U. (“ALANTRA”) and U.N. SDG Support Holdings LLC (“Sponsor Entity”), under which we engaged ALANTRA to act as our financial advisor for the design, negotiation, and execution of potential Business Combinations between us and one or more energy transition companies. On October 3, 2022, we amended such letter agreement (the “ALANTRA Letter Agreement”).
Under the ALANTRA Letter Agreement, we agreed to pay ALANTRA a retainer of $15,000 at the signing of the ALANTRA Letter Agreement plus a retainer fee of $20,000 per month that is due and payable on the last day of each month for a maximum period of five months. Should the aggregated value of the transaction be above $400,000,000, the retainer fee will increase up to $40,000 per month with the same maximum five-month period for the payment of any retainer fee.
35
If a transaction that is introduced by ALANTRA or by another institution to which no fees are due by us (e.g. an institution acting on behalf of a target) is completed the following remuneration will be due to ALANTRA as a remuneration for its services (“ALANTRA Success Fee”).
| ● | $1,600,000 payable by us; and |
| ● | $1,600,000 payable by or on behalf of the Sponsor Entity |
If a transaction is completed in North America, Asia, or Africa that is not introduced by ALANTRA and such transaction requires an introductory, advisory, or similar fee due by us, we shall pay ALANTRA an ALANTRA Success Fee in the form of:
| ● | For the first $300,000,000 of aggregated value of the transaction, 0.85% of each transaction purchase price; and |
| ● | For the aggregated value of the transaction above the first $300,000,000, 0.4% of each transaction purchase price |
Notwithstanding the above, it is agreed that the ALANTRA Success Fee will be subject to a minimum of EUR 1,000,000.
Each ALANTRA Success Fee shall be payable upon consummation of the applicable transaction (i.e. when the transaction is closed, following fulfillment, if applicable, of conditions precedent) regardless of (i) the calendar for the payment of the price, (ii) how the purchase price is funded, (iii) and any deferred payment subsequent to consummation of the transaction, or (iv) any adjustment to the price of the transaction subsequent to consummation.
On January 4, 2024, we entered into an agreement (the “MZHCI Agreement”) with MZHCI, LLC (“MZHCI”), pursuant to which MZHCI acts as consultant and adviser, to counsel, and inform our designated officers and employees as it relates to pre & post IPO, Business Combination readiness assessment, post transaction close preparation advisory, overall capital markets climate related to global macroeconomic conditions, world-leading exchanges, our competitors, related Business Combinations in the relevant market segments, and other aspects of/or concerning our business about which MZHCI has knowledge or expertise. The MZHCI Agreement became effective upon execution and was active for a period of six months, with automatic renewals every six months thereafter. Prior to our Business Combination, we pay MZHCI $12,000 per month and subsequent to the Business Combination, we shall pay MZHCI $15,000 per month. At the successful close of the initial Business Combination, we will issue MZHCI $120,000 worth of our restricted securities, valued at the closing price on the first day of trading after the successful close of the initial Business Combination.
Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
During the period ended December 31, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares to our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 281,250 shares subject to forfeiture by our Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders would collectively own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Initial Shareholders did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the securities underlying the Private Placement Warrants).
On April 22, 2022, the Sponsor entered into a series of securities transfer agreements, pursuant to which a total of 151,875 Founder Shares were transferred to certain directors and officers of the Company. Of these, 71,875 shares became fully vested upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO in May 2022. The remaining 80,000 shares will vest upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
On May 2, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option in respect of 375,000 Units and, as agreed with the Company, the underwriters waived their right to further exercise the option on May 5, 2022. Accordingly, a total of 93,750 of the Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture on May 2, 2022, and 187,500 of the Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 1,968,750 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.
36
On March 31,2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 1,968,749 Class B ordinary shares to class A ordinary shares of the Company, on a one-for-one basis. These conversion shares are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s Initial Public Offering. Following the conversion, the Sponsor owns 1,968,749 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share.

We agreed to borrow up to $500,000 from Eternal, an affiliate of our Company through common ownership, to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering.

Convertible Promissory Note
On May 2, 2023, we issued the 2023 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $75,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2023 and continuing through May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. Per the 2023 Extension Note, as amended, if we do not repay the 2023 Extension Note within five days of the maturity date, five percent (5%) interest per month will accrue on the unpaid principal balance until the 2023 Extension Note is fully repaid. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2023 Extension Note is par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2023 Extension Note was $900,000 and $900,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
38
On April 30, 2024, we issued the 2024 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 to the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $50,000 per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2024 and continuing through May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2024 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. At any time prior to the payment in full of the principal balance of the convertible promissory note, the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance into that number of Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the Initial Public Offering. We have determined that the fair value of the 2024 Extension Note is par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2024 Extension Note was $550,000 and $400,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.
Administrative Service Fee
We entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor on April 27, 2022, pursuant to which the Sponsor performed certain services for us for a monthly fee of $10,000. On May 2, 2022, the Sponsor entered into an assignment agreement with Gluon Group, an affiliate of our Company, to provide the services detailed in the Administrative Service Agreement. Per Regnarsson, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the Managing Partner of Gluon. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $45,186 and $39,187 has been paid to Gluon Group for such services and an additional $328,942 and $304,941, respectively, has been accrued.
Advisory Services
On September 21, 2022, we entered into the Gluon Letter Agreement with Gluon to pay the Gluon Transaction Success Fee upon completion of one or more successful transactions. We will pay Gluon $500,000 upon completion of one or more transactions with an aggregate purchase price of less than $400,000,000; and, an additional $500,000 upon completion of one or more transactions with an aggregate purchase price of more than $400,000,000. This means the total remuneration for transactions with a purchase price more than $400,000,001 would be $1,000,000. The transaction purchase price will correspond to the price paid to the sellers of the applicable target, including cash, debt, and equity funded payments. Each Gluon Transaction Success Fee will be payable upon consummation of the applicable transaction, regardless of (i) the calendar for the payment of the purchase price, (ii) how the purchase price is funded, (iii) any deferred payment subsequent to consummation of the transaction, or (iv) any adjustments to the price of the transaction subsequent to consummation. Following payment of the Gluon Transaction Success Fee, any accrued fees payable to the Gluon Group by us will be waived.
On October 5, 2022, we agreed with Gluon to lower the Gluon Transaction Success Fee to a total payment of $250,000 upon successful completion of one of more transactions with an aggregate purchase price equal or more than $400,000,000.
In addition, the Gluon Letter Agreement was amended to entitle Gluon, with respect to any financing undertaken by our Company introduced by Gluon during the term of the Gluon Letter Agreement, to the following fees: (i) for a financing involving an issuance of our senior, subordinated and/or mezzanine debt securities, a cash fee payable at any closing equal to two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds received by our Company at such closing; (ii) for a financing involving equity, equity-linked or convertible securities, a cash fee payable at each closing equal to five percent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds received by our Company at such closing.
In addition to the Gluon Transaction Success Fee, we agreed to pay Gluon Group for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing the services for the transactions. In the event of a successful initial Business Combination, Gluon also agreed to waive any accrued fees we owed.
Per Regnarsson, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of our Company, is the Managing Partner of Gluon. Each member of our Board of Directors has been informed of Mr. Regnarsson’s material interest in the Gluon Letter Agreement, and upon the approval and recommendation of our Audit Committee, our Board of Directors determined that the Gluon Letter Agreement is fair and in our best interests and voted to approve the Gluon Letter Agreement.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of the audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Certifying Officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in the Explanatory Note and in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 25, 2025. In addition, in the course of preparing the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the under accrual of legal fees.
Management is redesigning and implementing existing and additional controls to remediate these material weaknesses. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses and management’s assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025, management believes that the interim financial statements and footnote disclosures included in this Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

| DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
ClimateRock (the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a blank check company on December 6, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company focuses on opportunities in climate change, environment, renewable energy and emerging, clean technologies.
In order to affect a Business Combination, the Company owns subsidiary ClimateRock Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdings” or “Pubco”), and its subsidiary ClimateRock Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and post-offering activities in search for a target to consummate a Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 27, 2022. On May 2, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, including 375,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $78,750,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 3,762,500 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant to the Company’s sponsor, U.N. SDG Support LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $3,762,500 (See Note 4).
Offering costs amounted to $5,093,930, consisting of $1,181,250 of underwriting fees, $2,362,500 of deferred underwriting commissions payable (which are held in the Trust Account as defined below), $946,169 of Representative Shares (See Note 6), and $604,011 of other offering costs. As described in Note 6, the $2,362,500 of deferred underwriting commissions payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, $79,931,250 of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $4,480 in cash held outside of the Trust Account. The Company’s management (the “Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide holders of its Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (approximately $12.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6).
The Company initially had until 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate an initial Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipated that it may not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination within 12 months, it may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by two additional 3-month periods (for a total of up to 18 months) without submitting proposed extensions to its shareholders for approval or offering its Public Shareholders redemption rights in connection therewith. The Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, would have been required to deposit into the Trust Account $787,500 ($0.10 per share) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline for each additional three month period. In connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on April 27, 2023 (the “2023 EGM”), the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association was amended to remove this requirement. Instead, the Sponsor has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan of $75,000 for each calendar month (commencing on May 2, 2023 and ending on the 1st day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination from May 2, 2023 until May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion).
On April 27, 2023, the Company held the 2023 EGM and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a Business Combination from November 2, 2023 (assuming the Sponsor was to have effected and paid extensions as described in the definitive proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2023) to May 2, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion) (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) to permit its board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2024 (including prior to May 2, 2023). In connection with the 2023 EGM, shareholders holding 5,297,862 the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $55,265,334 (approximately $10.43 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
On April 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2024 EGM”) and approved, among other things, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend the date by which we would be required to consummate a Business Combination from May 2, 2024 to May 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion) (“Combination Period”), and (ii) to permit our board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on, or on an earlier date than May 2, 2025. In connection with the 2024 EGM, shareholders holding 111,915 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account. As a result, approximately $1.27 million (approximately $11.37 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Additionally, on April 30 and May 1, 2025, we held the 2025 EGM and approved, among other things, the 2025 Extension, which extended the Combination Period from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion). In connection with the approval of the 2025 Extension, Public Shareholders holding 2,016,792 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $24.67 million (approximately $12.23 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such Public Shareholders.
Nasdaq Listing
On April 10, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that its Public Shareholders were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Global Market tier of Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). The notifications received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. The Nasdaq rules provide the Company with 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and a compliance period of up to 180 calendar days in which to evidence compliance. The Company submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance on May 28, 2024, and the Nasdaq Staff granted the Company an extension until October 7, 2024 to comply with the Public Holders Requirement.
On October 8, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Staff that, since the Company had not regained compliance with the Public Holders Requirement, its securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Hearing Panel of Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Panel”) by October 15, 2024. On October 15, 2024, the Company submitted a request to appeal to the Nasdaq Panel and the hearing was held on December 10, 2024.
The Company’s securities continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of March 31, 2025. Nasdaq has not yet filed a Form 25 to remove the Company’s securities from listing under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Until Nasdaq files Form 25 and the 10-calendar-day effectiveness period elapses, the Company remains listed on the Nasdaq exchange.
Changes to the Board
On April 19, 2024, the Company received a notice from Ms. Caroline Harding, an independent director of the Company, of her decision to resign as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and all committees thereof, effective April 26, 2024. Ms. Harding had been an independent director of the Company for approximately two years since April 2022. The resignation of Ms. Harding was for personal reasons and did not result from any dispute with the Company.
On April 24, 2024, the Company received a notice from Mr. Randolph Sesson, Jr., an independent director of the Company, of his decision to resign as a member of the Board and all committees thereof, effective April 26, 2024. Mr. Sesson, Jr. had been an independent director of the Company for more than two years since the inception of the Company in December 2021. The resignation of Mr. Sesson, Jr. was for personal reasons and did not result from any dispute with the Company.
On May 20, 2024, the Board appointed Dariusz Sliwinski as a director, with immediate effect. Mr. Sliwinski qualifies as an independent director and is appointed to serve as (i) the chair of the audit committee of the Board, (ii) a member of the compensation committee of the Board and (iii) a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board. Going concern and management’s plan
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has a cash balance of $4,480 and a working capital deficit of $6,346,523. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the issuance date of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. Prior to consummation of a Business Combination, the Company has the ability to secure additional funding from the Sponsor or other related parties. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful by November 2, 2025. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2025, or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 25, 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $4,480 and $14,384 in its working capital account, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents in Trust Account
The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of the consummation of its first Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are classified as cash equivalents. Gains and losses resulting from the change in the balance of the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account are included in dividend income on the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income earned is fully reinvested into the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flow. Such interest income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination (see Note 1).
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $29,788,972 and $29,381,085 held in the Trust Account, respectively, including dividend income of $307,887 and $372,627 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned and/or dividends on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets.
Income taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Net income (loss) per share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less interest income in Trust Account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Except for the foregoing, the Company does not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

| INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING | NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On May 2, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 7,875,000 Units, including 375,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $78,750,000.
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, one-half of one redeemable warrant and one right. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (See Note 7 — Shareholders’ Equity, Class A Ordinary Shares).
All of the 7,875,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class A ordinary shares reflected on the consolidated balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Registration rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated April 27, 2022, the holders of the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities.

The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to such registration rights agreement.
Underwriting agreement
On October 21, 2021, the Company engaged Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) as the representative of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option until June 11, 2022 to purchase up to 1,125,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 2, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised the Over-Allotment Option in respect of 375,000 Option Units and, as agreed with the Company, the underwriters waived their right to further exercise the option on May 5, 2022.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.45 per unit, or $3,543,750 in the aggregate, of which $0.15 per Unit, or $1,181,250 was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Of the $0.45 discount, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $0.30 per Unit, or $2,362,500 in the aggregate (the “Deferred Fee”). The Deferred Fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, dated April 22, 2024 the Company entered into with Maxim in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
In addition to the underwriting discount, the Company agreed to pay or reimburse the underwriters for travel, lodging and other “road show” expenses, expenses of the underwriters’ legal counsel and certain diligence and other fees, including the preparation, binding and delivery of bound volumes in form and style reasonably satisfactory to the representative, transaction Lucite cubes or similar commemorative items in a style as reasonably requested by the representative, and reimbursement for background checks on the Company’s directors, director nominees and executive officers, which such fees and expenses are capped at an aggregate of $125,000 (less amounts previously paid). The $125,000 was paid out of the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering on May 2, 2022.
Representative Shares
The Company issued to Maxim and/or its designees, 118,125 Class A Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost associated with the Initial Public Offering, with a corresponding credit to shareholder’s equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $946,181. Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Representative Shares until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, Maxim has agreed: (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and were therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), the Representative Shares could not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following April 27, 2022, nor could they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following April 27, 2022 except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period beginning on May 2, 2022 and ending 12 months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, a right of first refusal to act as book-running managing underwriter or placement agent for any and all future public and private equity, equity-linked, convertible and debt offerings for the Company or any of its successors or subsidiaries.

As the initial Business Combination cannot be deemed probable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and payment of the deferred portion of the outstanding balance is contingent upon a successful initial Business Combination, no amount was accrued for the deferred portion of the outstanding amount or the premium.

| SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY | NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Class A Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 479,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Class A Ordinary Share held. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 2,086,874 and 2,086,874 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Class B Ordinary Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were one and one Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding, respectively.
Preference Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were preferred shares outstanding.
Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer and entitled to registration rights. The Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Share.
The Private Placement Warrants (including Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Following such period, the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will be transferable, assignable, or salable, except that the Private Placement Warrants will not trade. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.
The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement, dated April 27, 2022 the Company entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as Warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). If a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the ninetieth (90th) day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call the Warrants for redemption, once they become exercisable :
If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, Management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement.
The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share capitalization, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Ordinary Shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants shares. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.
If: (i) the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Ordinary Share, with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board (and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by such holder or affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “New Issuance Price”); (ii) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation thereof (net of redemptions); and (iii) the volume weighted average trading price of the Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the Warrant price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the New Issuance Price and the redemption trigger price ($18.00) shall be adjusted to equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants as equity instruments, so long as the Company continues to meet the accounting requirements for equity instruments.
Rights
Each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of a Business Combination, except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, and even if the holder of such Right redeemed all Ordinary Shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of a Right in order to receive its additional Ordinary Shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by shareholders in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of Ordinary Shares will receive in the transaction on an as-exchanged for Ordinary Shares basis, and each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively exchange its Rights in order to receive the 1/10 share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of a Business Combination. More specifically, the Rights holder will be required to indicate its election to exchange the Right for the underlying shares within a fixed period of time after which period the Rights will expire worthless. Pursuant to the Rights agreement, a Rights holder may exchange Rights only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. This means that the Company will not issue fractional Ordinary Shares in connection with an exchange of Rights and Rights may be exchanged only in multiples of ten Rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Fractional Ordinary Shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless. |

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.
The CODM assess performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
The CODM reviews interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated April 27, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
ll other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. |

| SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2025, up through the date the Company issued the consolidated financial statements. On January 6, 2025, the Nasdaq Panel granted the Company’s request for an exception to the Public Holders Requirement until April 7, 2025, at which time the Company must demonstrate compliance with the Public Holders Requirement. On April 2, 2025, we notified the Nasdaq Panel that we would not be able to close our initial Business Combination by the Nasdaq Panel’s April 7, 2025 deadline.
On April 8, 2025, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Panel indicating that the Nasdaq Panel had determined to delist its securities from Nasdaq and that trading in its securities would be suspended at the open of trading on April 10, 2025, due to the Company’s failure to comply with the terms of the Nasdaq Panel’s earlier decision. Pursuant to such decision, among other things, the Company was required to complete its initial Business Combination by no later than April 7, 2025. Accordingly, the Nasdaq Panel determined to delist the company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company’s public securities were suspended from Nasdaq on April 10, 2025; however, as of the date of the Report, the Form 25-NSE has not yet been filed to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
Following the suspension of trading on Nasdaq, the Units, Public Shares, Public Warrants and Rights are quoted on the Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbols “CLRCUF,” “CLRCF,” “CLRCWF,” and “CLRCRF”, respectively.
On March 26, 2025, Abhishek Bawa notified the Board of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective on March 26, 2025.
On April 13, 2025, Michael Geary was appointed to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of April 10, 2025.
On April 17, 2025, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with an upcoming extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to, among other things, seek (i) an extension of the Combination Period from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 and (ii) to eliminate from the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association the limitation that the Company may not redeem Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company borrowed an additional $268,460 beyond the initial terms of the Seventh Eternal Loan. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Seventh Eternal Loan was $1,768,460.
On April 30 and May 1, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) and approved, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of association to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from May 2, 2025 to November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion) (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) permit the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on, or on an earlier date than, November 2, 2025. In connection with the Meeting, shareholders holding 2,016,792 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, approximately $24.67 million (approximately $12.23 per share) was removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders.
From May 16, 2025 to June 16, 2025, Gluon Renewable Energies Limited made payments totaling $385,017 on behalf of the Company. These payments include, but are not limited to, the $50,000 deposits, made in arrears, for the March 2, 2025 and April 2, 2025 period, as required under the 2024 Extension Note and the $15,000 deposit, made in advance of the issuance of the 2025 Extension Note, for the May 2, 2025 period. Other disbursements were for late vendor invoices and the insurance renewal.
On June 20, 2025, the Company issued the 2025 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of $107,623.44 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $0.04 per unredeemed share per month that the Board of Directors decides to take to complete an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 2, 2025 and continuing through November 2, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion). The 2025 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation . As of June 30, 2025, $15,000 was deposited and approximately $15,647 (including applicable interest) is due to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the 2025 Extension. |

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2025, or any future period.

| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $4,480 and $14,384 in its working capital account, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents in Trust Account | Cash and cash equivalents in Trust Account The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of the consummation of its first Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on May 2, 2024, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are classified as cash equivalents. Gains and losses resulting from the change in the balance of the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account are included in dividend income on the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income earned is fully reinvested into the cash and cash equivalents held in Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flow. Such interest income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination (see Note 1). At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $29,788,972 and $29,381,085 held in the Trust Account, respectively, including dividend income of $307,887 and $372,627 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. |

| Emerging Growth Company | Emerging growth company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares (as defined in Note 5) subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero. Accordingly, Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned and/or dividends on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets. |

| Income Taxes | Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income (loss) per share | Net income (loss) per share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less interest income in Trust Account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented. The net income (loss) per share presented in the consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Except for the foregoing, the Company does not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. |
