NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~SEPTEMBER~~MARCH 3031, ~~2024~~2025 (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity

Papaya Growth Opportunity Corp. I (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 8, 2021. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from October 8, 2021 (inception) through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, relates to the Company’s formation and Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), which is described below and, since the IPO, the search for a prospective Business Combination. 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 earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO held in the Trust Account (defined below). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on January 13, 2022. On January 19, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 units (“Units”), including shares of Class A common stock in the Units offered (the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 1,290,500 private placement units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Papaya Growth Opportunity I Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), and J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC on behalf of its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division (“CCM”), generating gross proceeds of $12,905,000 which is described in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, the Company consummated the sale of 3,750,000 additional Units upon receiving notice of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its overallotment option (“Overallotment Units”), generating additional gross proceeds of $37,500,000. Simultaneously with the exercise of the overallotment, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 75,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $750,000.

Offering costs for the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units and Overallotment Units amounted to $20,697,498, consisting of $5,000,000 of upfront underwriting fees, $15,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account), and $572,498 of other offering costs. As described in Note 6, the $15,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by ~~January~~December 19, ~~2025~~2026, 36subject ~~months~~to ~~from~~ the ~~closing~~terms of the ~~IPO,~~underwriting ~~subject~~agreement to(See ~~the~~note ~~terms~~9 on extension of ~~the~~date of business combination and forgiveness of underwriting ~~agreement~~commissions).

Following the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units and Overallotment Units, $293,250,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, Overallotment Units, and the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”). The amounts placed in the Trust Account are invested in (i) interest - bearing bank demand deposit accounts, (ii) uninvested, (iii) U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or (iv) money market funds selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4) and (d)(5) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Table of Contents

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units and Overallotment Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having 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 the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable).

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants as defined in Note 3), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4), Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

Table of Contents

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

On April 12, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from April 19, 2023 to October 19, 2023 ~~(21 months from the closing of the IPO)~~.

On August 30, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to four (4) times for an additional (1) month each time from October 19, 2023 to February 19, 2024 by depositing into the Company’s trust account for each one-month extension the lesser of (a) $30,000 and (b) $0.03 for each then outstanding share after giving effect to any redemptions.

On December 7, 2023, the Company, received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff at The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Letter, the Company’s common stock had traded at a value below the minimum $50,000,000 “Market Value of Listed Securities” (“MVLS”) requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which is required for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. The staff at Nasdaq subsequently determined that the Company has regained compliance, accordingly, the staff at Nasdaq have indicated that the matter is closed. On June 5, 2024, the Company was notified that the Company’s securities were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on May 24, 2024.

On February 16, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to eleven (11) times for an additional (1) month each time from February 19, 2024 to January 19, 2025 by depositing into the Company’s trust account for each one-month extension the lesser of (a) $30,000 and (b) $0.0225 for each then outstanding share after giving effect to any redemptions. If a Business Combination is not consummated by January 19, 2025, ~~which is 36 months from the closing of the IPO,~~ in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation for such an extension ~~(the “Combination Period”)~~, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay (a) its income and franchise taxes and (b) up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, whose redemption will completely extinguish the Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the November Charter Amendment and the November IMTA Amendment will become effective December 15, 2025.

Table of Contents

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and the Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only the $10.20 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On June 5, 2024, the Company received a notice ~~(the “Notice”)~~ from the Staff stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because it has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On July 3, 2024, the Company filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC and was notified by Nasdaq on July 30, 2024 that the matter is now closed.

On January 16, 2025, the Company received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company’s securities were being delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market by reason of the failure of the Company to complete its initial business combination by January 13, 2025 (36 months from the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement) as required by IM-5101-2. Accordingly, trading in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Units and Warrants was suspended at the opening of business on January 23, 2025 and a Form 25-NSE was subsequently filed by Nasdaq with the SEC, which removed the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market. After delisting from Nasdaq, the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Units and Warrants began to be quoted on the Pink Open Market operated on The OTC Market systems (“OTC Market”) under the symbols “PPYA,” “PPYAU” and “PPYAW,” respectively.

Liquidity, Going Concern, and Management’s Plan

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its IPO at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. Accordingly, management has since re-evaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs and there is no guarantee that the Company will receive such funds. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company does not have sufficient working capital and will need to borrow additional funds from its Sponsor in order to fund its operations through one year from the date of this filing. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company had cash of $16,~~593~~252 and a working capital deficit. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, $2.8 million has been drawn from the $2.8 million promissory note provided from the Sponsor on April 17, 2023 and $1,~~005~~200,~~128~~000 has been drawn from the $1.2 million promissory note provided from the Sponsor on February 16, 2024. See Note 5 for references to “Promissory Note” and “2024 Promissory Note”.”

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution described in Note 1, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until ~~January~~December 19, ~~2025,~~2026 ~~36 months from the closing of the IPO,~~ to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination during the specified period. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As is customary for a special purpose acquisition company, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination by ~~January~~December 19, ~~2025~~2026, it will cease all operations and redeem the Public Shares. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a Business Combination prior to ~~January~~December 19, ~~2025~~2026.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

9The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from whom the shares are repurchased (although it may reduce the amount of cash distributable in a current or subsequent redemption). The amount of the excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of any shares repurchased by the repurchasing corporation during a taxable year, which may be potentially netted by the fair market value of certain new stock issuances by the repurchasing corporation during the same taxable year. In addition, a number of exceptions apply to this excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, this excise tax.

Table of Contents

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax.

As any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury.

During the second quarter of 2024, the IRS issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. Any amount of such Excise Tax not paid in full will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 108% interest per annum and a 0.5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.

The Company did not repay ~~the~~its outstanding excise tax obligations in full by ~~October~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025. During the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company accrued approximately $96,000 in interest and ~~will~~penalties bein ~~subject~~the accompanying condensed statement of operations. As of March 31, 2025, accrued interest and penalties amounted to ~~additional~~approximately $160,000 and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Additional interest and penalties ~~noted~~incurred ~~above~~during the period April 1, 2025 through issuance totaled approximately $279,000.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) which 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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

~~Investments Held in Trust Account~~11

~~The~~Table ~~Company’s portfolio~~ of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of cash and investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in the fair value of these securities are included in unrealized gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $7,940,003 and $24,976,375, respectively, held in the Trust Account in cash in primarily one financial institution.Contents

Cash Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,027,085 and $8,038,974, respectively, held in the Trust Account in cash in primarily one financial institution.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ deficit. The Company’s Public Shares sold in the IPO feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, ~~710~~90,~~529~~050 and 2710,~~303,207~~529 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

On August 30, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders in connection with which the holders of 7,560,892 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.6897 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $80,823,313. Following such redemptions, 2,303,207 Public Shares remained outstanding.

On February 16, 2024, ~~The~~the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in connection with which the holders of 1,592,678 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.9438 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $17,430,006. Following such redemptions, 710,529 Public Shares ~~remain~~remained outstanding.

On February 16, 2024, the Sponsor determined to convert all the outstanding shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Class B Conversion”). Notwithstanding the Class B Conversion, the Sponsor, as well as the officers and directors, will not be entitled to receive any funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any shares of Class A common stock issued to such holders as a result of the Class B Conversion, and no additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect of shares of Class A common stock held by the Sponsor (see Note 7).

On January 14, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in connection with which the holders of 620,479 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.34 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $7,035,492. Following such redemptions, 90,050 Public Shares remain outstanding.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

11At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class A common stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs directly related to the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with Public Warrants are recognized net in equity. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the IPO. Offering costs amounted to $20,697,498, which were charged against additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the IPO.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of direct costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and that were charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the IPO.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

12Prior to December 11, 2023, funds in the Trust Account were held in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 90 days or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. treasury securities. At December 11, 2023, the Company liquidated the money market funds held in the Trust Account to hold all funds in the Trust account in cash in an interest bearing account until the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash (not investments held at fair value).

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash (not investments held at fair value).

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Income and State Franchise Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax rate was 5.27% and 65.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 10.86% and 48.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a result of the valuation allowance recorded.

While ASC 740 identifies usage of the effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual, or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the Company’s change in fair value of a complex financial instrument, the timing of any potential business combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in the current period based on 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (or benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reliable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the unusual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2024.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware and California on an annual basis.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Stock

The Company historically had two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares.

Stock Compensation Expense

In connection with the Company’s IPO, Founder Shares were sold to certain independent directors from among the Sponsor’s pool of Founder Shares at the price paid by the Sponsor (par value of $0.0001). Although these Founder Shares were purchased by the independent directors for value, under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), these Founder Shares may be deemed stock-based compensation.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, under which stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using a market approach. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

The fair value of the 25,000 Founder Shares granted to an independent director by the Sponsor on January 12, 2023, was $43,000 or $1.72 per share. The fair value of the 180,000 Founder Shares granted to certain independent directors by the Sponsor on December 8, 2022 was $414,000 or $2.30 per share, and the fair value of the 410,000 Founder Shares granted to certain independent directors on December 21, 2021 was $3,079,100 or $7.51 per share. During 2022, 180,000 shares of the Founder Shares granted on December 21, 2021 were terminated ~~and returned to the Sponsor~~. The Company used a Monte Carlo Model simulation to arrive at the fair value of the stock compensation. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected separation date of Units, anticipated business combination date, ~~stock~~purchase price ~~at issuance~~, share-price volatility, expected term, exercise date, risk-free interest rate and present value. The expected volatility as of the IPO closing date was derived based upon similar SPAC ~~equities and~~ warrants and technology exchange funds within the Company’s stated industry target and with terms until the exercise date. The Company’s Founder Shares sold to independent directors (see Note 5) were deemed within the scope of ASC 718 and are subject to a performance condition, namely the occurrence of a Business Combination. Compensation expense related to the ~~transferred~~ Founder Shares transferred is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence, or more specifically when a Business Combination is consummated. Therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024.

14On February 16, 2024, the Sponsor determined to convert all the outstanding shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Class B Conversion”). Notwithstanding the Class B Conversion, the Sponsor, as well as the officers and directors, will not be entitled to receive any funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any shares of Class A common stock issued to such holders as a result of the Class B Conversion, and no additional amounts will be deposited into the Trust Account in respect of shares of Class A common stock held by the Sponsor. All Founder Shares became Class A common stock and the stockholders retain the same rights after conversion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-01, “Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profit Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”). This ASU provides clarification on when profit interest awards should be accounted for similar to a cash bonus or profit-sharing arrangement in accordance with ASC 710 or as a share-based payment arrangement in accordance with ASC 718. The FASB issued this ASU to address diversity in the practice of accounting for profit interest awards. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2024-01 will have a material impact on the accompanying ~~unaudited condensed~~ financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.

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

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

In the IPO, the Company sold 28,750,000 Units (including 3,750,000 Overallotment Units) at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of a redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Note 4 — Private Placement Units

On January 19, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and sale of the Overallotment Units, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 1,365,500 Private Placement Units (including 75,000 Private Placement Units purchased simultaneously with the Overallotment Units) in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $13,655,000, to the Sponsor (1,115,500 Private Placement Units), Cantor (212,500 Private Placement Units), and CCM (37,500 Private Placement Units). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (the “Placement Shares”) and one-half of a warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the IPO (including the sale of the Overallotment Units) to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units and any underlying securities will be worthless.

Founder Shares

On October 19, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 7,452,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”) for an aggregate price of $25,000 (see Note 7). On November 19, 2021, the Company effected a 1.0102482-for-1 split of the Company’s Class B common stock, such that the Sponsor owned 7,528,875 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described below. Holders of Founder Shares may elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment, at any time. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 956,250 Founder Shares to the extent that the overallotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. Since the overallotment option was exercised in full, the 956,250 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. On February 16, 2024, the Sponsor determined to convert all the outstanding shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Company’s initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property, except to certain permitted transferees. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s Initial Stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the Company’s initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Related-Party Loans

On October 19, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note became due upon the closing of the IPO. The Note was non-interest bearing. As of December 31, 2021, the Note had an outstanding balance of $145,000. On January 19, 2022, the day the IPO was consummated, there was $145,000 outstanding on the loan, which was repaid fully on January 24, 2022.

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 would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would 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 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. These warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Issuance of Unsecured Promissory Notes – Related Party

On April 17, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.8 million. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, it may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. At the Maturity Date, the Sponsor may receive, at its option and in lieu of repayment in cash of all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Promissory Note, the same consideration to be received by holders of the Company’s Class A common stock at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, on the basis of two (2) shares of Class A common stock for each $10.00 loaned thereunder. The Sponsor (or one or more of its affiliates or third-party designees) made monthly payments of $320,583 from April 2023 to August 2023, $30,000 from September 2023 to January 2024, and $15,987 from February 2024 to September 2024 towards extension payments. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed $2.8 million under the Promissory Note.

In addition, on February 16, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “2024 Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the 2024 Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 million. The 2024 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the 2024 Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the 2024 Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed $1,005,128 under the 2024 Promissory Note.

Support Services

The Company pays the Sponsor a fee of up to $33,333 per month for the use of office and administrative support services following the consummation of the IPO until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $43,500 and $304,500 had been accrued as outstanding under this agreement, respectively, and $130,500 had been expensed under the arrangement.

Issuance of unsecured Promissory Note – Related Party

On April 17, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.8 million. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, it may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. At the Maturity Date, the Sponsor may receive, at its option and in lieu of repayment in cash of all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Promissory Note, the same consideration to be received by holders of the Company’s Class A common stock at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, on the basis of two (2) shares of Class A common stock for each $10.00 loaned thereunder. The Sponsor (or one or more of its affiliates or third-party designees) made monthly payments of $320,583 from April 2023 to August 2023, $30,000 from September 2023 to January 2024, and $15,987 from February 2024 to December 2024 towards extension payments. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has borrowed $2.8 million under the Promissory Note. In connection with the January 2025 special meeting, there was no requirement for the Company to make any extension deposit during the period, and no amounts were contributed to the Trust Account.

In addition, on February 16, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “2024 Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the 2024 Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 million. The 2024 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the 2024 Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the 2024 Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has borrowed $1,200,000 under the 2024 Promissory Note.

Support Services

The Company pays the Sponsor a fee of up to $33,333 per month for the use of office and administrative support services following the consummation of the IPO until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $43,500 and $43,500 in fees for these services, of which $43,500 and $43,500 are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $391,500 and $348,000 had been accrued as due to affiliates in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets.

The Company engaged Burkland Associates, LLC (f/k/a FintechForce, Inc.), an entity affiliated with the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, for consulting services, financial planning and analysis, and general professional services. From January to September 2024, the Company paid a monthly fee of $15,000. Beginning in October 2024, the fee was reduced to $10,000 per month. On February 27, 2025, the Company amended the agreement with Burkland Associates, LLC, updating the fee term to an hourly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $27,641 and $45,610 in fees for these services. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $6,796 and $15,000 had been accrued as outstanding under this agreement.

On March 17, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with LGF CFO Services Inc., an entity affiliated with the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, for consulting services, financial planning and analysis, and general professional services for a monthly fee of $10,000.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $10,000 outstanding under this agreement.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated January 13, 2022. These holders will be entitled to certain demands and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover overallotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 19, 2022, the underwriters fully exercised their overallotment option and purchased 3,750,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO. An additional $0.50 per unit, or $12,500,000, plus an additional $0.70 per Overallotment Unit or $2,625,000 (or $15,125,000 in the aggregate) is payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement (See note 9 for forgiveness of underwriting commissions).

The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Class A common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of an initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and

● if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Public Warrants. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

Private Placement Warrants — As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, there were 682,750 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants underlying the Private Placement Units sold are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable by the Company. The Private Placement Units and the Private Placement Warrants will not be fungible with the Units and the Public Warrants, and, once registered, will trade separately.

~~Note 8 — Restatement~~19

In connection with the restatement of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified errors related to the accounting for deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. Refer to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 26, 2024.

ANote ~~summary~~8 of— ~~the~~Segment ~~impact of the error on the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 is as follows:~~Information

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets, which include the following:

The CODM reviews interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.

General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the condensed statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The significant segment expenses include insurance costs, legal fees, administrative fees, excise tax interest and penalties and miscellaneous expenses.

All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the condensed statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed financial statements were issued and determined that, other than ~~the~~as ~~matter~~set ~~disclosed~~forth ~~in Note 2~~below, there were no material subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure. On April 21, 2025, the Company and Forbes & Manhattan Resources Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“F&M”), jointly issued a press release announcing the execution of a business combination agreement on April 21, 2025, by and among Papaya, F&M, and F&M Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”) (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to combine with the Merger Sub in a series of transactions (the “Merger”) that will result in the Company becoming a direct subsidiary of F&M (as such surviving corporation, the “Surviving Corporation”) (collectively, the “Business Combination”).

On April 21, 2025, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”), underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $15,125,000 owed or payable to Cantor and CCM pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). In consideration of Cantor and CCM’s waivers for their entitlements to the payment of the deferred underwriting fee, Cantor and CCM agreed to sell their combined shares to Corbin TLP Fund II, L.P. (“Corbin”) for $1 per share at the close of the Company’s Business Combination.

On April 30, 2025, the Company timely filed its 2024 excise tax return; however, the Company did not repay its outstanding excise tax obligations of $174,300 in full by April 30, 2025. As a result, the Company incurred approximately $13,000 of interest and penalty from April 30, 2025 through the date of issuance.

On September 26, 2025, the Company, F&M, Merger Sub and 2744026 Alberta Ltd. (“Alberta”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which (i) F&M assigned to Alberta, and Alberta assumed, all of F&M’s rights and obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) Merger Sub will be replaced by a new subsidiary entity formed by Alberta in Delaware, (iii) the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is extended by one year to December 31, 2026, and (iv) certain other technical and conforming changes were made to reflect the new structure and parties. The material terms of the Business Combination otherwise remain unchanged.

As of the date of this filing, the previously announced business combination remains ongoing, and the Company continues to work toward completion of the transaction.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on October 8, 2021, as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities ~~that have not yet been selected~~. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector, or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management’s background and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business. We may pursue a transaction in which our stockholders immediately prior to completion of our initial Business Combination, would collectively own a minority interest in the post-Business Combination company. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account (defined below), our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, net cash used in operating activities was $116,~~188~~324,~~114,~~ mainly on account of the payment of operating expenses incurred to operate the business. Cash provided by investing activities was $177,~~436~~052,~~642~~492 and net cash used in financing activities was $167,~~248~~035,~~948~~492.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024, net cash used in operating activities was $4277,~~025~~431,~~827,~~ mainly on account of the payment of operating expenses incurred to operate the business. Cash provided by investing activities was $~~278~~17,~~587~~368,~~105~~033 and net cash used in financing activities was $~~274~~17,~~878~~092,~~429~~217.

We intend to use substantially all of the remaining funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income to pay taxes, if any. Our annual tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we had cash of $16,~~593~~252 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account ~~and~~primarily ~~additional funding from the Sponsor~~ to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

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 would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would 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 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. 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 warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.23

We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, or an affiliate of our Sponsor, stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of this quarterly report.

On April 17, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.8 million. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the Promissory Note will be due on the date on which the Company consummates a business combination (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company does not consummate a business combination, it may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. At the Maturity Date, the Sponsor may receive, at its option and in lieu of repayment in cash of all or any portion of the amount outstanding under the Promissory Note, the same consideration to be received by holders of the Company’s Class A common stock at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, on the basis of two (2) shares of Class A common stock for each $10.00 loaned thereunder. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has borrowed $2,800,000 under the Promissory Note.

In addition, on February 16, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “2024 Promissory Note”) to our Sponsor. Pursuant to the 2024 Promissory Note, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 million. The 2024 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Promissory Note will be due on the date on which we consummate a business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the 2024 Promissory Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the 2024 Promissory Note, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has borrowed $1,200,000 under the 2024 Promissory Note.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Sponsor had advanced the Company $409,337 and $84,128, respectively, for working capital purposes, of which $0 was repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding balance under the advances amounted to $409,337 and $0, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Table of Contents

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. The underwriter is entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $15,125,000 in the aggregate, as described above. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On April 21, 2025, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”), underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $15,125,000 owed or payable to Cantor and CCM pursuant to the underwriting agreement.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited ~~condensed~~ financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own Class A common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Table of Contents

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our ~~condensed~~ balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net Income (Loss) ~~Income~~ Per Share of Common Stock

We historically applied the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net (loss) ~~income~~ per share of the redeemable shares, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable common shares outstanding since original issuance. Net (loss) ~~income~~ per share of common shares, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common shares is calculated by dividing the net (loss~~) income~~, less income attributable to shares of redeemable common shares, by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable common shares outstanding for the periods presented.

~~Recently~~Recent ~~Adopted~~ Accounting ~~Standards~~Pronouncements

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profit Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”). This ASU provides clarification on when profit interest awards should be accounted for similar to a cash bonus or profit-sharing arrangement in accordance with ASC 710 or as a share-based payment arrangement in accordance with ASC 718. The FASB issued this ASU to address diversity in the practice of accounting for profit interest awards. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2024-01 will have a material impact on the accompanying ~~unaudited condensed~~ financial statements and disclosures.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.26

~~Evaluation of~~ Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls ~~and~~are procedures that are designed towith ~~ensure~~the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed ~~by us~~ in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, ~~reports~~such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time ~~periods~~period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,. ~~and~~Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial ~~officer~~and oraccounting ~~persons~~officer ~~performing~~(our ~~similar~~“Certifying ~~functions~~Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as ~~appropriate~~of March 31, 2025, pursuant to ~~allow~~Rule ~~timely~~13a-15(b) ~~decisions~~under ~~regarding~~the ~~required~~Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of a material weakness. Our internal controls did not detect an error in the review of proper recording of income tax.

~~Under~~We ~~the~~do ~~supervision~~not expect that our disclosure controls and ~~with~~procedures ~~the~~will ~~participation~~prevent all errors and all instances of ~~our~~fraud. ~~management~~Disclosure controls and procedures, ~~including~~no ~~our~~matter ~~principal~~how ~~executive~~well ~~officer~~conceived and ~~principal~~operated, ~~financial~~can ~~officer,~~provide weonly ~~conducted~~reasonable, annot ~~evaluation~~absolute, ofassurance that the ~~effectiveness~~objectives of ~~our~~the disclosure controls and procedures ~~(as~~are ~~defined~~met. inFurther, ~~Rules~~the ~~13a-15(e)~~design of disclosure controls and ~~15d-15(e)~~procedures ~~under~~must reflect the ~~Exchange~~fact ~~Act)~~that asthere ofare ~~the~~resource ~~end~~constraints, ofand the ~~fiscal~~benefits ~~quarter~~must ~~ended~~be ~~September~~considered ~~30,~~relative ~~2024~~to their costs. ~~Based~~Because onof ~~this~~the ~~evaluation~~inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, ~~our~~no ~~principal~~evaluation ~~executive~~of ~~officer~~disclosure controls and ~~principal~~procedures ~~financial~~can ~~officer~~provide ~~has~~absolute ~~concluded~~assurance that, aswe ofhave ~~September~~detected ~~30,~~all ~~2024~~our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, ~~our~~if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures ~~were~~also ~~effective~~is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

24Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than as described below.

Despite the material weakness identified, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

This Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, because as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to issue such an attestation report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On January 19, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 28,750,000 units, including 3,750,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $287,500,000.

Cantor ~~Fitzgerald~~ acted as the sole bookrunner for the IPO. The units sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-261317), which was declared effective by the SEC on January 13, 2022.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 1,365,500 Private Placement Units (1,115,500 Private Placement Units to our Sponsor, 212,500 Private Placement Units to Cantor and 37,500 Private Placement Units to CCM) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $13,655,000, pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Offering costs for the initial public offering amounted to $20,697,498, consisting of $5,000,000 of upfront underwriting fees, $15,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account), and $572,498 of other offering costs. The $15,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On April 21, 2025, Cantor and CCM agreed to waive their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $15,125,000 owed or payable to Cantor and CCM pursuant to the underwriting agreement.

A total of $293,250,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO after offering expenses and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, was initially placed in the Trust Account. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in (i) interest - bearing bank demand deposit accounts, (ii) uninvested, (iii) U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or (iv) money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.
