While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any stage of its corporate evolution or in any industry or sector, the Company intends to focus its initial search on companies in the cybersecurity, artificial intelligence or financial technology industries.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 25, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 12, 2024 (“IPO Registration Statement”). On December 16, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units,” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares,” and, with respect to the public warrants included in the Units offered, the “Public Warrants”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,385,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants,” together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Roman DBDR Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and to B. Riley Securities (“B. Riley”), the representative of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $7,385,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs related to the IPO and the full exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $5,328,515, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fees and $728,515 of other offering costs.

On January 23, 2025, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and on January 27, 2025, purchased an additional 3,000,000 Units pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option. The over-allotment Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $30,000,000. In connection with the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and B. Riley purchased an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants in the aggregate at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $750,000. Following the full exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of additional Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate amount of $30,150,000 was deposited into the Trust Account (as defined below).

On January 31, 2025, the Company announced that, commencing on February 3, 2025, the holders of the Units issued in the Initial Public Offering may elect to separate the Public Shares and the Public Warrants included in the Units. No fractional Public Warrants were issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants trade. Any Units not separated continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DRDBU.” The Public Shares and the Public Warrants trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “DRDB” and “DRDBW,” respectively.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination.

The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 16, 2024, and the full exercise of the over-allotment option on January 27, 2025 an amount of $231,150,000 ($10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units, and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may, at any time (based on the management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the Company’s potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (the “Completion Window”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Public Shares (“Public Shareholders”).

The Company will provide the Company’s Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.05 per Public Share.

The ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares (“Founder Shares”) and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.05 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.05 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On August 28, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Deficiency Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of not having filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 in the prescribed timeframe. The Deficiency Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market. According to the Deficiency Notice, the Company had a period of 60 calendar days, or until October 27, 2025, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. The Company filed such quarterly report on October 23, 2025. On November 5, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq confirming that it is in compliance with the Rule.

On October 1, 2025, the Company’s board of directors appointed John J. Birmingham as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Birmingham also serves as the Company’s principal accounting officer and principal financial officer. In connection with Mr. Birmingham’s appointment, the Company and Mr. Birmingham entered into an offer letter, dated October 1, 2025 (the “Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Birmingham received a one-time initial cash payment in the amount of $25,000 and will receive a subsequent cash payment of $50,000 relating to the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations as more specifically described in the Offer Letter, and such additional amounts as may be agreed upon by the parties.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $53,490 held outside of the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise additional capital will be successful. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for quarterly 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 unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for quarterly 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.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The quarterly results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a 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. As a result of this election, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of public companies that comply with public company effective dates for new or revised accounting standards.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 these unaudited condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $53,490 and $183,022 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Investments Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2026, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds and at December 31, 2025, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company accounts for its investments held in the Trust Account as trading securities under ASC 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities,” where securities are presented at fair value in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the Company’s statement of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Public Warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ equity as Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants after management’s evaluation was classified as equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the condensed balance sheets dates.

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounted for the 11,500,000 Public Warrants included in the Units issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the over-allotment option and 8,135,000 Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and related private placement and the full exercise of the over-allotment option and related private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) private placement since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had dilutive securities that are Public Warrants that could potentially be exercised into Class A ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. The Warrants are not exercisable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):


		For the Three Months Ended						For the Three Months Ended

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, on December 16, 2024, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option, on January 27, 2025, the Company sold an additional 3,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Warrants

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 19,635,000 warrants outstanding, respectively, including 11,500,000 Public Warrants, respectively, and 8,135,000 Private Placement Warrants, respectively. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such Unit.

Under the terms of the warrant agreement (“Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.

The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●in whole and not in part;

●at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and

Table of Contents

●if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the Company’s initial business combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A ordinary shares, or by a subdivision of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining the price payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and B. Riley purchased an aggregate of 7,385,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $7,385,000 in the aggregate in a private placement. Of those 7,385,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 4,885,000 Private Placement Warrants and B. Riley purchased 2,500,000 Private Placement Warrants. Simultaneously with the full exercise of the over-allotment option on January 27, 2025, the Sponsor and B. Riley purchased an aggregate of 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $750,000 in the aggregate in a private placement. Of those 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 375,000 Private Placement Warrants and B. Riley purchased 375,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor, B. Riley, or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) will be entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to Private Placement Warrants held by B.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations in multiple jurisdictions as applicable, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to the Roman II Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

On January 23, 2025, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the closing of the full exercise of the over-allotment option.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged B. Riley as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in arranging meetings with the shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that may be interested in purchasing securities, assist in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with the preparation of press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay B. Riley for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination a cash fee in an amount equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination marketing agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination.

Business Combination Agreement

On February 27, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (“ThomasLloyd”), and (ii) each of the holders of ThomasLloyd’s outstanding ordinary shares as named in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Sellers” or “ThomasLloyd Shareholders”). TL Topco PLC, a public limited company to be incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“PubCo”) and ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub” and, together with PubCo, the “PubCo Parties” and each, a “PubCo Party”), will become parties to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement following the formation of PubCo. Pursuant to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the Surviving Company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger”). The effective time of the Merger is referred to as the “Merger Effective Time.” As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, other than the Roman Dissenting Shares (each as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement) will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share (as defined below), and each issued and outstanding Roman Warrant (as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement) will become one warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share (“PubCo Warrant”), with PubCo issuing a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in accordance with the terms of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement. At least one day following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ThomasLloyd from the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by PubCo of new ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, consisting of Class A ordinary shares (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, the “PubCo Shares”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, PubCo will issue to the Sellers in the aggregate, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, with an aggregate value up to an amount equal to the relevant portion of the Share Exchange Aggregate Consideration (as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, based on an equity value of $850,000,000), with PubCo allotting and issuing to each Seller, for each ThomasLloyd ordinary share held, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Allocation Schedule (each as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement).

The ThomasLloyd Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of the Company’s shareholders and ThomasLloyd’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement

In connection with the signing of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, the Company, ThomasLloyd and B. Riley entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement, which amended and restated the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated December 12, 2024, by and between the Company and B. Riley. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement, B. Riley will provide certain advisory, marketing and capital markets services to the Company in connection with certain business combinations, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. As consideration for such services, the Company has agreed to pay B. Riley a fee equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its equity securities in the Initial Public Offering, including any proceeds from the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option (the “Fee”). In connection with the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, the Fee will be structured and calculated based on the gross proceeds available to PubCo at the Closing, including proceeds retained from the Trust Account following the redemption deadline, proceeds from any PIPE Financing and proceeds from any other sources (collectively, the “Gross Proceeds”) as follows: 30% of the Gross Proceeds on the first $10.0 million of Gross Proceeds; 10% of the incremental Gross Proceeds exceeding $10.0 million, up to the total amount of the Fee.

If all or any portion of the Fee is not paid in full at Closing, PubCo is obligated to enter into a committed equity facility (the “CEF”) with B. Riley or its affiliate immediately upon the Closing, as described below. If the Fee has not been paid in its entirety at Closing or subsequent to the Closing, subject to certain conditions, the Company has agreed to maximize its use of the CEF, subject to customary ownership and volume limitations, and to pay B. Riley 30% of the net proceeds raised under the CEF until the Fee is paid in full. If the Fee has not been paid in full by the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing, PubCo will be required to pay the remaining unpaid balance in cash.

In addition, PubCo has granted B. Riley the right to serve in the following capacities in certain capital markets transactions: (1) as lead distribution agent for any at-the-market offering (with a commission of 2.0% of gross proceeds) for 24 months following the Closing, and (2) until the Fee is paid in full, as joint lead underwriter and joint lead bookrunner for any public offerings (with equal economics to other joint lead underwriters) and placement agent for any private offerings.

Committed Equity Facility Term Sheet

In consideration for the investor’s commitment, PubCo will agree to pay the investor a commitment fee of 1.0% of the Aggregate Commitment Amount and to reimburse certain expenses, up to $75,000, not including quarterly legal fees of up to $7,500 in quarters where the CEF is used.

Preference Shares

The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. On July 25, 2024, the Company issued 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 25% of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Holders of record of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Charter or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Amended and Restated Charter, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter, such actions include amending the Amended and Restated Charter and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company’s initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50% of the ordinary shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Charter may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote of at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds) of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the Company.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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 assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


			March 31,			December 31,

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their unaudited condensed financial statements 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 (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, 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 Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, which are held in the Trust Account.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:


		For the Three			For the Three
		Months Ended			Months Ended
		March 31,			March 31,
		2026			2025
General and administrative expenses		$	1,885,399		$	341,380
Interest earned on the Trust Account		$	1,650,332		$	2,286,602
Net (loss) income		$	(235,067)		$	2,214,005
Total assets		$	243,056,081		$	234,962,072

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest earned on investment in the Trust Account and general and operating expenses. The CODM reviews interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Within the operating expenses, the CODM specifically reviews professional service fees, which are a significant segment expense, and include legal fees and advisory fees. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a Business Combination within the required period. Other general and administrative expenses, including accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, are reviewed in the aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. Funds invested in the Trust Account represent the predominant portion of the Company’s total assets and are monitored by the CODM to determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds, while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.

Fee”). Such strategic transaction shall include, without limitation, any strategic investment in the Company (other than as part of an Offering), any investment by the Company in or together with such party or in any asset or venture with such party, or any other partnership, joint venture, licensing, commercial, distribution, development, marketing or similar strategic relationship. Such Strategic Advisory Fee shall be due and payable in the same form of consideration in which the strategic transaction is consummated (e.g. cash, Company shares or any combination thereof), as soon as reasonably practicable following the closing or consummation of the applicable strategic transaction (or, if there are multiple closings, pro rata at each closing based on the value consummated at such closing) and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Offering Fee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lucid shall be permitted to pay to one or more co-managers or joint agents, to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Lucid, an amount up to 30% of the aggregate compensation paid or payable to Lucid under Paragraph 5a. The payment of such amount shall be the sole responsibility of Lucid and shall not increase the aggregate compensation payable by the Company under Paragraph 5a. The Company may engage additional financial institutions, including international investment banks, in connection with the placement of the Securities, specifically to access international investors. The Company and Lucid shall work in good faith to agree on a commercially reasonable allocation of economics among the participating institutions, consistent with customary market practice. Neither party shall be required to accept any allocation that is not commercially reasonable, and any such allocation shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and Lucid, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The fees payable to Berenberg and Lucid for acting as Co-Placement Agents in connection with the Offering shall be a total of 6.00% of the aggregate price at which the Securities are sold by the Company (the “Aggregate Sales Price”), which fee shall be divided as follows: (i) for gross proceeds received from investors domiciled in the United States, 70% to Lucid and 30% to Berenberg, (ii) for gross proceeds received from investors domiciled in Europe (including but not limited to the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area), 30% to Lucid and 70% to Berenberg, and (iii) for gross proceeds received from all other investors, 50% to Lucid and 50% to Berenberg. In the event the Company engages one or more additional investment banks to serve as co-placement agents for the Company, the Aggregate Sales Price shall be split amongst all placement agents as in effect, including the Co-Placement Agents. The Placement Fee shall be payable upon the consummation of the placement of the applicable Securities and the closing of the Business Combination. The Company shall have the right to engage other brokers or agents to participate in the Private Placement, provided that (i) Berenberg and Lucid have provided their prior written consent (such consent not to be reasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any such appointment or engagement, (ii) the Company shall have consulted with Berenberg and Lucid prior to any such appointment or engagement so as to, among other things, ensure a coordinated process as to marketing efforts and any additional payable fees.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 (the “Report”) including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our management’s current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on July 25, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our Ordinary Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination (pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter), Ordinary Shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing.

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

We may seek to extend the Completion Window consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Charter. Such an amendment would require the approval of our shareholders, and our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the continued listing rules of Nasdaq, as they exist as of the date of the Report (the “Nasdaq Rules”), currently require special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), such as us, to complete their initial Business Combination in accordance with the requirement pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules that a SPAC must complete one or more Business Combinations within 36 months following the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement (the “Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement”). If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.

ThomasLloyd Business Combination

On February 27, 2026, we, ThomasLloyd, and each of the ThomasLloyd Shareholders, entered into the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement. PubCo and Merger Sub will become parties to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement following the formation of PubCo. The ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the ThomasLloyd Business Combination were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of our Company and ThomasLloyd. The ThomasLloyd Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of our shareholders and the ThomasLloyd Shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

The ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that at least one day prior to the share exchange described below, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the Surviving Company after the Merger and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, other than the Roman Dissenting Shares will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, and each issued and outstanding Roman Warrant will become one PubCo Warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, with PubCo issuing a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in accordance with the terms of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement.

Table of Contents

At least one day following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ThomasLloyd from the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by PubCo of new ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, consisting of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, PubCo will issue to the Sellers in the aggregate, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, with an aggregate value up to an amount equal to the relevant portion of the Share Exchange Aggregate Consideration (as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, based on an equity value of $850,000,000), with PubCo allotting and issuing to each Seller, for each ThomasLloyd ordinary share held, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Allocation Schedule (each as defined in the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement).

For a full description of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement and the proposed ThomasLloyd Business Combination, please refer to “Item 1. Business” in the 2025 Annual Report.

Recent Developments

On May 6, 2026 we entered into an agreement with Lucid in connection with the proposed private placement, backstop financing, or other financing of the Company’s equity, equity-linked, convertible debt, or straight debt securities as it relates to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement.

In consideration for the services described above, Lucid shall be entitled to receive, and the Company agrees to pay Lucid, the following compensation:

a. Offering Fee. If the Company completes an Offering, the Company shall pay Lucid a fee equal to 6% of gross proceeds raised. The Offering Fee shall be paid on gross proceeds raised if an Offering is consummated during the term or a definitive agreement, letter of intent, or other evidence of commitment is entered into during the Term which subsequently results in an Offering being consummated within 12 months following expiration of this Agreement. The Offering Fee shall be paid in cash by wire transfer as soon as reasonably practicable simultaneously with the release of, and from the proceeds of, the Offering.

b. Strategic Advisory Fee. The Company shall pay Lucid a fee equal to 3% of the aggregate consideration or equity value of any strategic transaction entered into with any party introduced to the Company by Lucid during the Term. Such strategic transaction shall include, without limitation, any strategic investment in the Company (other than as part of an Offering), any investment by the Company in or together with such party or in any asset or venture with such party, or any other partnership, joint venture, licensing, commercial, distribution, development, marketing or similar strategic relationship. Such Strategic Advisory Fee shall be due and payable in the same form of consideration in which the strategic transaction is consummated (e.g. cash, Company shares or any combination thereof), as soon as reasonably practicable following the closing or consummation of the applicable strategic transaction (or, if there are multiple closings, pro rata at each closing based on the value consummated at such closing) and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Offering Fee.

commercially reasonable, and any such allocation shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and Lucid, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

On May 13, 2026, the Company engaged Berenberg and Lucid to act as a placement agent in connection with a proposed private placement, whether in one or a series of offerings, of equity or equity-related securities of a newly formed entity that will be the ultimate parent of the Company, the proceeds of which ultimately will be used to fund the ThomasLloyd Business Combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 25, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for and consummate the Initial Public Offering, and following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, searching for a target with which to consummate a Business Combination, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net loss of $235,067, which consisted of general and operating costs of $1,885,399, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,650,332.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had net income of $2,214,005, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,286,602, as well as change in fair value of over - allotment liability of $268,783, offset by general and operating costs of $341,380.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B Ordinary Shares by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor.

On July 25, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2025 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On December 16, 2024, upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the IPO Promissory Note was repaid in full at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the IPO Promissory Note is no longer outstanding.

On December 16, 2024, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 7,385,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in the Private Placement to the Sponsor and B. Riley, generating gross proceeds of $7,385,000.

Table of Contents

allotment option, the Sponsor and B. Riley purchased an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants in the aggregate at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $750,000.

Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, a total of $231,150,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,328,515 of offering expenses, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fees and $728,515 of other offering costs. The proceeds held in the Trust Account are currently invested only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended Business Combination.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time (based on our management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $409,532. Net loss of $235,067 consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,650,332. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,475,867 of cash from operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $323,430. Net income of $2,214,005 was affected by the interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,286,602 and a change in the fair value of over-allotment option of $268,783. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $17,950 of cash from operating activities.

As of March 31, 2026, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $242,838,887. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable, to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $53,490. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants 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 fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay any Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. 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 at the option of the lender. These warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital. We lack the financial resources we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a

going concern. The unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as set forth below.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on December 13, 2024, and until completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation, we pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.

The Company incurred and paid $30,000 for administrative services for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

The Company incurred and paid $30,000 for administrative services for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 23, 2025, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering fully exercised the over-allotment option, and on January 27, 2025, purchased an additional 3,000,000 Option Units pursuant to such exercise. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Option Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,000,000.

Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement

We have engaged B. Riley as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist us in arranging meetings with shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that may be interested in purchasing securities, assist in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist us with the preparation of press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. We will pay B. Riley for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination a cash fee in an amount equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, no fee will be due if we do not complete an initial Business Combination.

In connection with the signing of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, the Company, ThomasLloyd and B. Riley entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement, which amended and restated the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated December 12, 2024, by and between the Company and B. Riley. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement, B. Riley will provide certain advisory, marketing and capital markets services to the Company in connection with certain business combinations, including the ThomasLloyd Business Combination. As consideration for such services, the Company has agreed to pay B. Riley a fee equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its equity securities in the Initial Public Offering, including any proceeds from the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option (the “Fee”). In connection with the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, the Fee will be structured and calculated based on the gross proceeds available to PubCo at the Closing, including proceeds retained from the Trust Account following the redemption deadline, proceeds from any PIPE Financing and proceeds from any other sources as follows: 30% of the Gross Proceeds on the first $10.0 million of Gross Proceeds; 10% of the incremental Gross Proceeds exceeding $10.0 million, up to the total amount of the Fee.

full. If the Fee has not been paid in full by the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing, PubCo will be required to pay the remaining unpaid balance in cash.

Committed Equity Facility Term Sheet

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, our Company, ThomasLloyd and B. Riley entered into a binding term sheet (the “CEF Term Sheet”) relating to the CEF. Pursuant to the CEF Term Sheet, subject to the consummation of the ThomasLloyd Business Combination and the execution of definitive documentation, B. Riley will agree to purchase, from time to time during the 36-month commitment period following closing, up to an aggregate of $200.0 million (the “Aggregate Commitment Amount”) of PubCo’s common stock, at a purchase price equal to 97.0% of the volume-weighted average price of PubCo’s common stock during a defined pricing period, subject to customary ownership, exchange cap and volume limitations. In consideration for the investor’s commitment, PubCo will agree to pay the investor a commitment fee of 1.0% of the Aggregate Commitment Amount and to reimburse certain expenses, up to $75,000, not including quarterly legal fees of up to $7,500 in quarters where the CEF is used. If the engagement of a qualified independent underwriter is required, PubCo will reimburse B. Riley up to an additional $55,000 for such engagement. The CEF Term Sheet is subject to customary conditions, including the negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement.

Service Provider Agreement

On February 16, 2026, we entered in a consulting agreement with the ICR LLC (“ICR”) to provide certain services related to the initial Business Combination. ICR’s compensation consists of the following:

●

$25,000 per month continuing until the completion of the initial Business Combination;

●

a transaction fee tied to redemption outcomes at the completion of the initial Business Combination, ranging from $150,000 to $300,000 payable in the case of successful completion of initial Business Combination; and a fully discretionary bonus of $100,000, payable in full or in part at the sole discretion of the Company based on performance.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Current and anticipated future events might affect the determination of whether certain estimates are considered critical by management.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as the Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026 due to the material weakness related to the insufficient segregation of duties to safeguard company assets.

In light of this material weakness, we have enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in the Report. However, for detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, (iii) 2025 Annual Report and (iv) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on May 21, 2025, October 23, 2025 and November 13, 2025, respectively. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

For risks related to ThomasLloyd and the ThomasLloyd Business Combination, please see the Registration Statement on Form F-4 to be filed by the parties to the ThomasLloyd Business Combination Agreement, once filed.

Our search for an initial Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East between United States, Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.

Our ability to find a potential target business and the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected by events that are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced and may continue to experience volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum products and related commodities, with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts, including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts and geopolitical turmoil are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Similarly, other events outside of our control, including natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may arise from time to time, and any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have disproportionate impacts to certain industries or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply chain), and may adversely affect the global economy or capital markets.

Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities.

Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted by these and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.

Military or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination, including on acceptable commercial terms, or at all.

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

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarterly period covered by the Report. However, on January 23, 2025, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and on January 27, 2025, purchased an additional 3,000,000 Option Units pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $30,000,000. In connection with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and B. Riley, purchased an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants in the aggregate at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $750,000. Following the closing of the over-allotment option and the sale of additional Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate amount of $30,150,000 was deposited into the Trust Account.

Use of Proceeds

There were no offerings of registered securities and therefore no planned use of proceeds from such offerings during the quarterly period covered by the Report. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on January 16, 2025. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by the Report.
