COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The initial shareholders, as the holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares, including from time to time the Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration and shareholder rights agreement, dated as of June 13, 2024, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the initial shareholders party thereto. 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 “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 13, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriter elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 1,125,000 Public Shares at a price of $10.00 per Public Share.

The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Share, or $1,725,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter agreed to reimburse the Company at the closing of the Initial Public Offering for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees (including for the avoidance of doubt, a portion of the upfront underwriting commissions payable in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering) incurred by the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering in an amount not to exceed 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. On June 13, 2024, as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company received reimbursement from the underwriter of $862,500.

In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.40 per Public Share, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. 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.

Risks and Uncertainties

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
