Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations Organization and General Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 18, 2025. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act”, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from August 18, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the proposed initial public offering (“Proposed Offering”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Proposed Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. All dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Sponsor and Proposed Financing The Company’s sponsor is Vine Hill Capital Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”), a limited liability company formed in Delaware. The Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with proceeds from the Proposed Offering of $175 million of Units (as defined below) (See Note 2) and a private placement of 5,500,000 of Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) for an aggregate of $5,500,000 (See Note 3). The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the Proposed Offering of 17,500,000 Units at $10.00 per unit (or 20,125,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (Note 2) and the sale of 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants (irrespective of whether the overallotment is exercised) (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the Proposed Offering (Note 3). Upon the closing of the Proposed Offering and private placement, $175,000,000 (or $201,250,000 if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full (see Note 2) will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). See Note 8 – Subsequent events, specifically regarding the upsize of the Proposed Offering to 200,000,000 Units ($230,000,000 with the underwriters’ full exercise of the overallotment option) as well as a corresponding increase in the number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding upon closing of the Proposed Offering subsequent to September 30, 2025 on December 19, 2025. The Trust Account The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations and may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, other than the permitted withdrawals (as defined below), if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Public Shares”), that have been properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if it does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares or pre-Initial Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of amounts withdrawn to pay taxes, other than excise taxes, if any (“permitted withdrawals”)), or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of 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 less permitted withdrawals. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in 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 otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association if (i) the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the board of directors of the Company may approve, subject to applicable law, and the Company does not otherwise seek shareholder approval to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the amount of time it will have to consummate an Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company obtains shareholder approval to extend the date on which the Company must complete the Initial Business Combination and such extension is conditioned upon depositing additional funds into the Trust Account, upon the end of a 30-day cure period after the date any such funds were required to be deposited but were not so deposited, the Company will (x) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (y) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 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 earned (which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the holders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (z) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor, officers and directors will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Proposed Offering. However, if the Sponsor and management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Proposed Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. Certain Risks and Uncertainties The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from each of the ongoing conflicts involving Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas and the recent escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, as well as recent developments to U.S. trade policies. 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, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, the recent escalation of the Israel-Iran 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 or the recent changes to trade policies by the United States and other countries, 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.Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $11,000 in cash and cash equivalents balance and negative working capital of approximately $107,000. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. During December 2025, the Company closed on the Proposed Offering of its Units and the simultaneous sale of Private Placement Warrants resulting in an increase in its liquidity, including the deposit of $3,275,000 from the Proposed Offering into the Company’s working capital account. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern”, as of September 30, 2025, management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. See also, Note 8 – Subsequent events. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Emerging Growth Company As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</td> </tr></tbody></table>Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriters’ over-allotment option is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the shares subject to redemption and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 if not fully exercised at the time of the initial public offering. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Deferred Offering Costs Associated with the Proposed Public Offering The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Proposed Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Proposed Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating Proposed Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares will be charged to temporary equity. Offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants will be charged to shareholder’s equity as the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants after management’s evaluation will be accounted for under equity treatment. Should the Proposed Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations. Deferred offering costs were $69,000 as of September 30, 2025. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. Net Loss per Ordinary Share Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters (see Note 2 and also Note 8 – Subsequent events). At September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the period presented. See Note 8 – Subsequent events, specifically regarding the increase in the number of Class B ordinary shares that results from the upsize of the Proposed Offering and the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option upon closing of the Proposed Offering subsequent to September 30, 2025 on December 19, 2025. Warrant Instruments The Company will account for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to be issued in connection with the Proposed Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and will classify the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. There are no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants currently outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Emerging Growth Company As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;</td> </tr></tbody></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and</td> </tr></tbody></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Warrant Instruments The Company will account for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to be issued in connection with the Proposed Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and will classify the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. There are no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants currently outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 — Public Offering Pursuant to the Proposed Offering, the Company intends to offer for sale up to 17,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for a total of $175 million (or 20,125,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for a total of $201.25 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third of one warrant (each, a “Public Warrant” and collectively, the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per shares, subject to adjustments (see Note 6). The Company expects to grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the Proposed Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Units that would be issued in connection with the over-allotment option would be identical to the Units issued in the Proposed Offering. The Sponsor has committed to purchase an aggregate of 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the Proposed Offering. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. Each Private Placement Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and will expire after five years. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). See Note 8 – Subsequent events, specifically regarding the upsize of the Proposed Offering to 20,000,000 Units (23,000,000 Units with the underwriters’ full exercise of the overallotment option) as well as a corresponding increase in the number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding upon closing of the Proposed Offering subsequent to September 30, 2025 on December 19, 2025. 17500000

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On August 21, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,708,333 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (the “Founder Shares”), 7,666,667 after the issuance of an additional 958,334 shares subsequent to September 30, 2025 in connection with the upsize of the Public Offering that closed in December 2025, in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.004 per share) from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the Public Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares included in the Units being sold in the Proposed Offering except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into Public Shares at the time of the Initial Business Combination (with such conversion taking place immediately prior to, simultaneously with, or immediately following the time of the Initial Business Combination, as may be determined by the directors of the Company) or earlier at the option of the holder and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 875,000 Founder Shares (1,000,000 shares after the issuance of an additional 958,334 shares subsequent to September 30, 2025 in connection with the upsize of the Public Offering that closed in December 2025) to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Offering. If the Company increases or decreases the size of the offering, the Company will effect a share dividend or share surrender, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Offering in such amount as to maintain the Founder Share ownership of the Company’s shareholders prior to the Proposed Offering at 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Proposed Offering. The Sponsor will not be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering, the Sponsor will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by it. The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination (the date on which the Company consummates a transaction which results in the shareholder having the right to exchange its shares for cash, securities, or other property subject to certain limited exceptions).See Note 8 – Subsequent events, specifically regarding the increase in the number of Class B ordinary shares that results from the upsize of the Proposed Offering and the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option upon closing of the Proposed Offering subsequent to September 30, 2025 on December 19, 2025 Registration Rights The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and their underlying securities), if any, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders at the completion of the Proposed Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the Initial Business Combination, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the registration statement for the Proposed Offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands and have “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Administrative Support Agreement Commencing on the date on which the Company’s securities are first listed on Nasdaq, the Company will reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor an amount equal to $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. Executive Officer Compensation Also, commencing on the date on which the securities are first listed on Nasdaq, the Company agreed to compensate each of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer $33,000 per month prior to the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, of which $16,500 per month would be payable upon the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and the remaining $16,500 per month would be currently paid monthly for their services. Related Party Loans On August 21, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Proposed Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2026, or the date on which the Company consummates the Proposed Offering. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had borrowed $25,000 under the Note and, subsequent to September 30, 2025, on December 19, 2025, such amount was repaid in full, See Note 8 – Subsequent events. Working Capital Loans In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with its Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or 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 its Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the Initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of 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. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies Underwriting Agreement The Company expects to pay the underwriters 2% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering, payable at the closing of the Proposed Offering. In addition, the underwriters will agree to defer underwriting commissions equal to up to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering, payable to the underwriters upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. Upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, the deferred underwriting commissions would be paid as follows: (i) 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering, and (ii) up to 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering, which will be reduced based on the percentage of total funds from the Trust Account released to pay redeeming shareholders. In addition, the underwriters have agreed to make a payment to the Company at the closing of the Proposed Offering to reimburse certain of its expenses and fees in connection with the Proposed Offering, which may be used for working capital purposes following the Proposed Offering.

Note 6 — Shareholders’ Deficit Preference Shares The Company is authorized to issue 1,750,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. Ordinary Shares The authorized ordinary shares of the Company include up to 175,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 17,500,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of Class A ordinary shares which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s shareholder votes on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share (except as otherwise expressed in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association). As of September 30, 2025, there are no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding. The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 875,000 Founder Shares (1,000,000 shares after the issuance of an additional 958,334 shares subsequent to September 30, 2025 in connection with the upsize of the Public Offering that closed in December 2025) depending on the extent to which the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Offering. As of September 30, 2025, there were 6,708,333 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. See also Note 8 – Subsequent events.Warrants As of September 30, 2025, there were no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination at a new issuance price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company (including consideration of the market price) and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the new issuance price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Description of Securities — Warrants — Public Shareholders’ Warrants — Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the new issuance price. The Company is not registering Public Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially best efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a new registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the Public Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the applicable warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Public Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Beginning 30 days after completion of the Initial Business Combination, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: justify">In whole and not in part;</td> </tr></tbody></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">At a price of $0.01 per warrant;</td> </tr></tbody> </table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and</td> </tr></tbody> </table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; width: 100%"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"> <td style="width: 0.5in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in; text-align: left">●</td><td style="text-align: left">if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
