The Private Placement Warrants (and underlying securities) are identical to the warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement.

Other than the foregoing, none of the Directors are party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which they were appointed as Directors, nor are they party to any transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company.

The foregoing descriptions of the Letter Agreement and the form of Indemnity Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the Letter Agreement and the form of Indemnity Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.7 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

A total of $275,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $11,000,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes and for winding up and dissolution expenses, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s Board may approve), subject to applicable law, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it has not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

On September 11, 2025, the underwriters in the IPO informed the Company that the over-allotment option would be partially exercised. As a result, 25,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company were surrendered by the Sponsor in order for the Company’s initial shareholders to maintain ownership of 20.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Such surrendered shares were cancelled by the Company.
