Industry Context

This extension reflects a common trend in the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) market, where many SPACs face challenges in identifying and closing suitable business combinations within their initial timelines. Multiple extensions are often sought to avoid liquidation, especially in a more challenging de-SPAC environment. The ongoing need for extensions highlights the competitive landscape and the difficulty in finding high-quality private companies willing to go public via a SPAC.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• While extensions are common for SPACs, the fact that this is the eighteenth of twenty-three potential extensions for dMY Squared Technology Group, Inc. is on the higher end compared to many SPACs that typically complete their combinations within fewer extensions or liquidate.
• The $50,000 deposit for a one-month extension is a standard practice for many SPACs, often contributed by the sponsor, to provide additional time for a deal.

Corporate Governance

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Gain additional time for the Company to find a business combination, potentially avoiding liquidation, but face continued uncertainty and the possibility of further extensions or eventual liquidation.
• Management: Continues to have time to execute on the Company's mandate to find a suitable merger target.

Next Steps

• The Company will continue its efforts to identify and consummate an initial business combination by the new deadline of July 29, 2025.
• The Board may consider further one-month extensions, up to a total of twenty-three, if a business combination is not completed by the current deadline.
