Founder Shares
On March 26, 2025, Bain Capital GSS Investment Sponsor LLC paid $25,000 to cover certain of the Company’s expenses in exchange for the issuance of 11,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to 1,500,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the Private Placement Units and assuming the initial shareholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering) after the Initial Public Offering. On October 1, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 1,500,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
 
On August 25, 2025, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 30,000 Founder Shares to the director of the Company in exchange for his services as director through the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Founder Shares shall return to the Sponsor if the director is no longer serving the Company on or prior to the initial Business Combination. The transfer of Founder Shares to the director is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity classified awards is measured at fair value upon the assignment date. The total fair value of the 30,000 Founder Shares transferred to the director on August 25, 2025 was $52,290 or $1.743 per share. The Company established the initial fair value Founder Shares on August 25, 2025, the date of the grant agreement, using a
calculation prepared by a third party valuation team which takes into consideration the underlying share price of $9.95, term of 0.10, risk-free rate of 4.34%, and a market adjustment of 17.6%
. The Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors. The membership interests were assigned subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination). Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the transfer of Founder Shares. As of September 30, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
Subject to limited exceptions, the initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Units
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 900,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000, in a private placement. Such Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), any proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). Holders of the Private Placement Units have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares included in any Private Placement Units and Public Shares in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the implementation by the directors of, following a shareholder vote to approve, an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period from the closing of this Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares. Subject to limited exceptions, the Private Placement Units (including any Private Placement Shares or Private Placement Warrants included in such Private Placement Units) will not be transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Certain proceeds from the Private Placement Units will be added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account.
Related Party Loans
On March 26, 2025, Bain Capital GSS Investment Sponsor LLC agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2026 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $212,377 under the Promissory Note. On October 1, 2025, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the Promissory Note amounting to $212,377. Borrowings under the Note are no longer available.
Due to Sponsor
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $9,000,000 due to sponsor, representing the advance payment by the Sponsor in relation to the private placement sale which was consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $7,000,000 of which was deposited into the Trust Account as of September 30, 2025, and the remaining $2,000,000 represents the cash held outside of Trust Account.
 
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Private Placement Units issued upon conversion of any such loans would be identical to the Private Placement Units sold in a private placement concurrently with the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2025, the company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement
Pursuant to the administrative services and indemnification agreement between the Company and the Sponsor, commencing on September 29, 2025 through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $20,000 per month. In addition, the Company has agreed, pursuant to such administrative services and indemnification agreement with the Sponsor relating to the monthly payment for services outlined therein, that the Company will indemnify the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Bain Capital LP and its affiliates (“Bain”), from any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with the Company’s affairs, including, but not limited to, any claims, made by the Company or a third party, (i) arising out of or relating to the Initial Public Offering or the Company’s operations or conduct of the Company’s business, (ii) in respect of any investment opportunities sourced by the Sponsor and its affiliates, including Bain, and/or (iii) against the Sponsor and/or Bain alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the Sponsor and/or Bain of any of the Company’s activities or any express or implied association between the Sponsor and/or Bain, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its other affiliates, on the other hand, which agreement will provide that the indemnified parties cannot access the funds held in our Trust Account. As of September 30, 2025, no amounts were incurred under this agreement.
