Key Details
- IPO: 23,000,000 units sold at $10.00 per unit = $230,000,000 gross proceeds.
- Unit composition: each Unit = 1 Class A ordinary share + 1/3 of one redeemable warrant; each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A share at $11.50.
- Private Placement: 4,000,000 warrants sold at $1.50 each to Petit Monts LLC (Sponsor) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. = $6,000,000 gross proceeds.
- Trust account: $230,000,000 placed in trustee-held account (Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company). Audited balance sheet dated Dec 19, 2025 filed as Exhibit 99.1.
Why It Matters
- The filing confirms the SPAC completed its capital raise and that the majority of IPO proceeds ($230M) are secured in a trust account, which is the typical structure for funds pending a business combination.
- Investors should note the existence of warrants (public and private), which can affect future share dilution and capitalization if exercised.
- The filing does not announce any target or business combination; it documents the company’s capitalization and includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the proceeds.
