Description of Organization and Business Operations Description of Organization and Business Operations
A Paradise Acquisition Corp. (formerly A Paradigm Acquisition Corp., the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (or the “BVI”) on November 9, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, shares exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although there is no restriction or limitation on what industry or geographic region the Company’s target operates in, it is the Company’s intention to pursue prospective targets that are in the leisure and entertainment sector.
The Company has a wholly owned inactive subsidiary, A Paradise Merger Sub I, Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed on November 18, 2025 solely for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as November 26, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from November 9, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”), and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company, entering into the business combination agreement described below, and proceeding toward completion of the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividends and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor, A SPAC IV (Holdings) Corp., is a BVI company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on July 29, 2025. On July 31, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, no par value per share (the “Public Shares”) and one right (the “Public Rights”) to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units on July 29, 2025, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 600,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and the underwriters, Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (“CCM”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described in Note 4. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any, which expired unexercised on September 12, 2025.
Five institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor) (“non-voting sponsor investors”) have purchased, indirectly, through the purchase of non-voting interests in our sponsor, an aggregate of 130,000 Private Placement Units (the “Non-Voting Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit ($1,300,000 in the aggregate). In connection with the non-voting sponsor investor indirectly purchasing, through the Sponsor, the Non-Voting Private Placement Units allocated to the non-voting sponsor investors in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor issued non-voting shares (the “Non-Voting Sponsor Shares”) at a nominal purchaser price to the non-voting sponsor investors at the closing of the IPO, reflecting interests in an aggregate of 1,368,421 Founder Shares (defined below) held by the Sponsor. On December 19, 2025, an affiliate of the Sponsor purchased all of the issued and outstanding Non-Voting Sponsor Shares from the non-voting sponsor investors.
Transaction costs amounted to $12,645,418 consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $8,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $645,418 of other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $1,848,460 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of the promissory note (see Note 5), payment of accrued expenses and for working capital purposes.
Following the closing of the IPO on July 31, 2025, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds placed in the Trust Account may only be invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or
in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended business combination. Except with respect to divided and/or interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if the Company does not complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period (defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below), subject to applicable law and as further described in the Prospectus. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.
The Company’s 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 balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial 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 proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement. The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share (subject to increase of up to an additional $0.20 per unit in the event that the Sponsor elects to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, as described in more detail in the IPO).
The ordinary share subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under BVI law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The underwriters, the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, Private Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, Private Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Agreements
Business Combination Agreement
On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Merger Sub, and Enhanced Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Enhanced”). The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Enhanced Business Combination”), following the Acquiror Domestication (as defined below):
at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (“Cayman Companies Act”) and the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Enhanced, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Enhanced will be the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”) and immediately following the First Merger, Enhanced will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Enhanced will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”); and
as a result of the Mergers, among other things, all outstanding shares of common stock (inclusive of shares of converted preferred stock and issuable in respect of the SAFE financing described below) of Enhanced immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, except with respect to (i) any shares of common stock of Enhanced subject to options or consultant awards, (ii) any shares of common stock of Enhanced held in the treasury of Enhanced, which treasury
shares will be cancelled as part of the First Merger, and (iii) any shares of common stock of Enhanced held by shareholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, a number of shares of A Paradise Domesticated Class A Common Stock (as defined below), as adjusted in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described therein. In addition, at the First Merger, certain holders designated by Apeiron Investment Group Limited (the “Class B Holders”) will be issued a number of shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares such that, immediately after the Closing, the Class B Holders will have at least 95% of the voting power of the capital stock of the surviving corporation on a fully-diluted basis.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement, the Enhanced Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related matters by the shareholders of the Company.
Prior to the Closing, subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, and in accordance with the TBOC, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “BVI Act”), and the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, the Company will effect a deregistration under the BVI Act and a domestication under the TBOC (by means of filing a certificate of conversion and certificate of formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas), pursuant to which the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Texas (the “Acquiror Domestication”). Upon the effective time of the Acquiror Domestication, the Company will change its name to “Enhanced Group Inc.”.
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquiror Domestication, each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a Class A ordinary share of the Company (the “Converted Acquiror Class A Common Stock”). At the effective time of the Acquiror Domestication, (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of the Company (including the Converted Acquiror Class A Common Stock) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (after the Acquiror Domestication) (the “Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock” or “Enhanced Group Class A common stock”); (b) the Company will authorize a new class of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock” or “Enhanced Group Class B common stock”), the terms of which will provide, among other things, that each share of Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock will carry ten votes; (c) each then issued and outstanding unit of the Company (the “BVI Acquiror Units”) will convert automatically into a domesticated Acquiror unit representing one share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock and a right to receive one-eighth of one share of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock at the Closing; and (d) each then issued and outstanding right of the Company (the “BVI Acquiror Right”) will convert automatically into a domesticated Acquiror right, with each domesticated Acquiror right representing the right to receive one-eighth of one Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock at the Closing.
The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. The consummation of the Enhanced Business Combination is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Business Combination Agreement.
A Paradise Holders Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into an acquiror holder support agreement (the “A Paradise Holders Support Agreement”), dated as of November 26, 2025, between the Company, Enhanced and the Sponsor (the “Major A Paradise Shareholder”). Under the A Paradise Holder Support Agreement, the Major A Paradise Shareholder agrees that, among other things, (i) the Major A Paradise Shareholder will not to sell or transfer their shares until the earlier to occur of the Second Effective Time and the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) that at any meeting of the shareholders and in any action by written consent of the shareholders, the Major A Paradise Shareholder will vote all of its shares for the Enhanced Business Combination and related transactions.
Enhanced Holders Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into the Enhanced holders support agreement (the “Enhanced Holder Support Agreement”), dated as of November 26, 2025, among certain shareholders of Enhanced (the “Major Enhanced Stockholders”). Under the Enhanced Holder Support Agreement, the Major Enhanced Stockholders agree, among other things, not to sell or transfer their shares until the earlier to occur of the Second Effective Time and the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and that at any meeting of the shareholders and in any action by written consent of the shareholders, such Major Enhanced Stockholders will vote all of their shares for the Enhanced Business Combination and related transactions.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $697,629 in cash and a working capital of $364,363. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $300,000 under the promissory note (see Note 5), which was subsequently repaid in full on October 9, 2025.
Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination.
The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it may cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.
The Company has until July 31, 2027 to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will wind up, dissolve and liquidate pursuant to the terms of its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Notwithstanding management’s belief that the Company would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that business combination might not happen within the Combination Period, or by July 31, 2027. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management believes that it would be prudent to include in its disclosure language about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 31, 2027.
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing Russia/Belarus/Ukraine, Hamas/Iran/Lebanon/Israel in the Middle Eastern countries conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and potential future
sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
