Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operation

 

Lake Superior Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a British Virgin Island (“BVI”) business company on March 19, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, it is subject to all the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from March 19, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) as defined below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a 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 is Lake Superior Investments LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on September 30, 2025. On October 8, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), including the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 1,500,000 Units granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, no par value per share and one right to receive one-seventh (1/7) 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 $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 360,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor (245,000 Private Placement Units) and the underwriter (115,000 Private Placement Units), Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”), a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,600,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $7,370,254 consisting of $2,300,000 of cash underwriting fee which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $4,600,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $470,254 of other offering costs. At the IPO date, cash of $649,760 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations 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 (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions on the Trust Account). 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 business 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”).

 

Upon the closing of the IPO on October 8, 2025, an amount of $115,000,000 ($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”) which will be invested only 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 selected by the Company meeting certain conditions 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 funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

 

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding 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 (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public 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, if applicable). The Public Shares subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, it receives a resolution of members under BVI law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination. 

 

The Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), 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), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under BVI law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

   

The Sponsor has agreed to waive liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial amount held in the Trust Account ($10.00).

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. 

 

Proposed Business Combination with Openmarkets Group Pty Ltd

 

On January 23, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Plan of Merger and Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Openmarkets Group Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited company (“OMG”), and BMYG OMG Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary limited company (the “Seller”) and such other persons who are contemplated to later join this Agreement as the “Purchaser” and “Merger Sub” therein, which are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” All capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties will cause the Company to be merged with Merger Sub, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Initial Merger”). As a result of the Initial Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding ordinary share of the Company will convert into the right to receive one ordinary share of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Shares”); (ii) each unit of the Company shall convert into the right to receive one unit of the Purchaser, comprised of one Purchaser Share and one right to receive one-seventh of one Purchaser Share upon the Closing (each a “Purchaser Right”); and (iii) each right of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive one Purchaser Right. Following the Initial Merger, the Company and the Purchaser will cause the Company to liquidate, such that all assets of the Company are, or shall be, transferred to the Purchaser and all liabilities of the Company are, or shall be, assumed by the Purchaser (the “Liquidation”). Additionally, the Company will cause all of its contracts to be assigned to and assumed by the Purchaser. Following the Initial Merger, the Seller will contribute all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of OMG (the “OMG Shares”) to the Purchaser in exchange for approximately 30,000,000 Purchaser Shares (the “Exchange Consideration”), which shares shall have a deemed value of $10.00 per share for the purposes of all calculations and adjustments under the Business Combination Agreement, with such Exchange Consideration subject to adjustment based on OMG’s net indebtedness, working capital, and indemnification obligations following the Closing as detailed in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Acquisition Contribution and Exchange”). Further, in addition to the Exchange Consideration, up to an additional 70,000,000 Purchaser Shares may be paid to the Seller based on certain milestone following the Closing as detailed in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Milestone Shares”). The Initial Merger, the Acquisition Contribution and Exchange and the other transactions to be consummated under the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination.”

   

The agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances, including mutual consent, failure to close by December 31, 2026, failure to obtain shareholder approval, uncured material breach, or issuance of a final governmental order prohibiting the transaction.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $184,009 in cash and a working capital of $45,662. The Company currently has until April 8, 2027 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statement. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt 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. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Risks and Uncertainties 

 

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including tariffs, 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 geopolitical 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. 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 cyberattacks 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. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
