Industry Context

The separation of units into their constituent shares and warrants is a common practice that provides investors with greater flexibility in managing their positions.
Comparison to Industry Standards
- This action aligns with common industry practice for SPACs post-initial public offering, where units initially offered are subsequently separated to allow for independent trading of the underlying Class A ordinary shares and warrants.
- The exercise price of $11.50 per share for warrants is a typical premium over the standard $10.00 IPO price for SPAC shares, consistent with industry benchmarks.
Stakeholder Impact
- Shareholders holding units will gain the flexibility to trade Class A ordinary shares and warrants independently, potentially enhancing liquidity and investment options for these components.
Next Steps
- Separate trading of Class A ordinary shares and warrants will commence on August 15, 2025.
- The company will continue its search for a suitable business combination target.
