Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2025

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

Armada Acquisition Corp. II (hereinafter, the “Company” or the “SPAC”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on October 3, 2024. The Company is a newly organized blank check company or special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific business combination target. Its efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region although it intends to focus on target businesses that provide technological services to the financial services industry

(“FinTech”),Software-as-a-Service(“SaaS”),or

artificial intelligence (“AI”). The Company became an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) upon the closing of the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) described below.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 3, 2024 (date of inception) through December 31, 2025, relates to the Company’s formation activities in pursuit of completing a business combination and the Initial Public Offering. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account described below. The Company has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end.

Sponsor, Founder and Proposed Financing

For the period from October 3, 2024 (date of inception) through August 28, 2025 the Company’s sponsor was Armada Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Original Sponsor”). Effective August 28, 2025, upon completion of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) Arrington XRP Capital Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership is the Company’s sponsor (the “New Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 20, 2025. On May 22, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, which is discussed in Note 3, which includes the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 3,000,000 Units, by Cohen and Company Capital Markets a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”) and Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”) (collectively, the “Underwriters”)— which is discussed in Note 4, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 710,000 private placement units, 400,000 of which were purchased by the Original Sponsor and 310,000 purchased by the underwriter at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,100,000. The net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement are held in the Trust Account (discussed below).

Transaction costs amounted to $14,413,386, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $613,386 of other offering costs.

Changes in Control of Registrant

On August 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Sponsor Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Original Sponsor and the New Sponsor, pursuant to which the Original Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from the Original Sponsor, an aggregate of 7,880,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 400,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 200,000 private placement warrants of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000 (such transaction, the “New Sponsor Purchase”) and the New Sponsor received a limited, revocable license to the Armada Acquisition Corp. II branding for a period of time that expires not later than November 22, 2026 (unless the termination date of the Company is extended to a later date). On August 28, 2025, the New Sponsor Purchase was completed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the appointments and resignations of directors of the Company described below and in the Schedule 14F and Item 5.02 of the company’s Current Report on Form

8-K

as filed with the SEC on August 28, 2025 became effective, and the Original Sponsor ceased to control the Company. Following the Closing, the New Sponsor owns all of the equity interests of the Company held by the Original Sponsor, including 100% of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, has the power to appoint all members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), and may therefore be deemed to control the Company.

On August 28, 2025, Stephen P. Herbert, Douglas M. Lurio, Mohammad A. Khan, Thomas Decker and Celso L. White resigned as directors of the Company, Stephen P. Herbert resigned as Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer of the Company, and Douglas M. Lurio resigned as President and Chief Financial Officer and principal financial and accounting officer of the Company. There was no known disagreement with any of the outgoing directors or officers on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On August 28, 2025, J. Michael Arrington, Taryn Naidu, Richard Danis, Lindy Key and Ronald Palmeri were appointed as directors of the Company, with Mr. Arrington being appointed as the Chairman of the Board. On August 28, 2025, Taryn Naidu was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer of the Company, and Kyle Horton was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and principal financial and accounting officer of the Company. Each such director and officer entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company in a form substantially consistent with the Company’s standard form in connection with their appointment.

Table of Contents

Mr. Herbert, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Lurio, former President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have entered into advisor agreements with the Company to serve as advisors to Taryn Naidu in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer (the “Advisor Agreements”). Other than pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Advisor Agreements, there are no arrangements or understandings among members of the former and new control groups and their associates with respect to election of directors or other matters. In addition, none of the new directors or officers of the Company has a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation

S-K.

Waiver to Insider Letter

On August 28, 2025, the “Original Sponsor”, the Company, Stephen P. Herbert, Douglas M. Lurio, Thomas A. Decker, Mohammad A. Khan, Celso L. White and the other parties thereto entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) with respect to that certain insider letter agreement, dated May 20, 2025, by and among the Company, the Original Sponsor and the other persons party thereto (the “Insider Letter”).

Joinder Agreement

On August 28, 2025, the New Sponsor entered that certain joinder to insider letter agreement and registration rights agreement (the “Joinder”). Pursuant to the Joinder, the New Sponsor agreed, with effect from the date of the Joinder, to join as a party to the Insider Letter and to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 20, 2025, by and among the Company, the Original Sponsor and the other persons party thereto. Entry into the Joinder was a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as defined above).

The Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 22, 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 proceeds of the sale of the private placement units, are held in a Trust Account and will be invested or held only in either (i) 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 of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, except for (x) all interest income that may be released to the Company to pay taxes and (y) up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, as discussed below, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of: (1) the completion of the initial Business Combination within the required time period; (2) redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and (3) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the required time period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the

pre-business

combination activity and related shareholders’ rights.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less the deferred underwriting commissions and the taxes payable on interest earned) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed by the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable, if any. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow shareholders to redeem their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval unless a vote is required by the Nasdaq rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with the Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any). As a result, such shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The amount in the Trust Account is $10.05 per public share ($231,150,000 held in the Trust Account divided by 23,000,000 public shares). The Company has 18 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest, but less taxes payable and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses; and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its creditors and remaining shareholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The initial shareholders each entered into agreements with us, pursuant to which they agreed: (1) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement units and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof in

Table of Contents

connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination or a tender offer conducted prior to a Business Combination or in connection with it; and (2) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement units if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

Business Combination Agreement

On October 19, 2025 (the “Signing Date”), the Company (which will domesticate as a Delaware corporation prior to the Closing), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Evernorth Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pubco”), Pathfinder Digital Assets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pathfinder”), Evernorth Corporate Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), Evernorth Company Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), and Ripple Labs Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ripple”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing” and the date and time at which the Closing is actually held, the “Closing Date”), (a) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Pathfinder, with Pathfinder continuing as the surviving company (the “Pathfinder Merger”), with holders of Pathfinder units (each, a “Pathfinder Unit”) receiving one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Class A Common Stock”) for each Pathfinder Unit, subject to certain reductions and other limitations imposed on the Ripple Parties as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and (b) simultaneously with the Pathfinder Merger, SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “SPAC Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”), with (x) shareholders of the Company receiving one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock for each Common Share held by such shareholders and (y) warrantholders of the Company receiving one warrant to purchase one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock for each warrant to purchase one SPAC Class A Share held by such warrant holders, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers and the Transactions, Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

In connection with the Closing, Pubco will have authorized three classes of Pubco common stock with different voting and economic rights. The Pubco Class A Common Stock will be entitled to economic rights, including the right to receive distributions in proportion to the number of shares held, and will be listed for trading on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. Each share of Pubco Class Common A Stock will be entitled to one vote per share. Shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Class B Common Stock”) will be entitled to one vote per share but will not have any economic rights and will not be listed for trading or transferable unless a corresponding number of units of Pathfinder as the surviving Company after the Pathfinder Merger (the “Company Surviving Subsidiary”) are transferred to the same person. However, no shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock are expected to be issued or outstanding immediately following the Closing. Shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Class C Common Stock” and, together with the Pubco Class A Common Stock and the Pubco Class B Common Stock, the “Pubco Stock”) will be entitled to economic rights, including the right to receive distributions in proportion to the number of shares held, but will have no voting rights except as required by the Nevada Revised Statutes and will not be listed for trading or transferable, and will be convertible into Pubco Class A Common Stock at the election of the holder from time to time.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, the Company, the New Sponsor and certain securityholders listed therein will enter into a registration rights agreement that will amend and restate the registration rights agreement entered into at the time of the Company’s initial public offering between the Company, the New Sponsor and certain securityholders listed therein (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco will assume the registration obligations of the Company under such registration rights agreement, with such rights applying to the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, Class B common stock (the “Pubco Class B Common Stock”) and Pubco Class C Common Stock.

The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary demand registration rights, piggyback registration rights, and shelf registration rights for the benefit of the holders, subject to customary cutbacks and issuer suspension rights. It also includes customary provisions relating to underwriting participation, registration expenses, indemnification, and coordination of sales in underwritten offerings. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement will become effective upon the Closing and will supersede the Company’s existing registration rights agreement in its entirety.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the New Sponsor and Pubco (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the New Sponsor agreed (i) to vote its Class A Shares and Class B Shares (the “New Sponsor Shares”) in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions and each of the proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement, the proposal to authorize and approve the Pathfinder Merger, and the proposal to approve a plan of domestication, (ii) to vote its New Sponsor Shares against any alternative transactions, (iii) to comply with the restrictions imposed by the Insider Letter (as defined above), by and among the Company, Original Sponsor, and the officers and directors of the Company at the time of its initial public offering, pursuant to which the New Sponsor was later joined as a party by way of the Joinder (as defined above) to the Insider Letter, by and between New Sponsor and the Company, including the restrictions on transfer and redemption of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection with the Transactions, and (iv) subject to and conditioned upon the Closing, to waive any anti-dilution rights that would otherwise result in the Class B Shares converting into Class A Shares on a greater than

one-for-one

basis.

In addition, the New Sponsor agreed to effect certain security cancellations and issuances in connection with the Closing. Specifically, immediately prior to the time on the Closing Date when the certificate to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to certify the Pathfinder Merger (the “Pathfinder Certificate of Merger”) has been duly accepted for filing by the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “DLLCA”) (or such other time as specified in the Pathfinder Certificate of Merger) (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), the New Sponsor will forfeit for no consideration (a) 120,000 Class A Shares, (b) 2,364,000 Class B Shares and (c) 60,000 warrants, each exercisable for one Class A Share at $ 11.50 per share (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the New Sponsor also agreed, subject to and effective as of the Closing, to irrevocably and unconditionally release and waive any and all claims it may have against the Company, Pubco and Pathfinder or their respective affiliates arising on or prior to the Closing, subject to customary carve-outs.

Lock-Up

Concurrently with the Closing, each of the Company, the New Sponsor, Ripple and other Persons who will, immediately after the Closing, be holders of Pubco Stock or units of the Company Surviving Subsidiary and who, with Ripple, will collectively be deemed to form a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (“Ripple Affiliate Investors”) will enter into a

Lock-Up

Agreement with Pubco (the

“Lock-Up

Lock-Up

Agreements), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce the intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii), until the earlier of six months following the date of the Closing and the date on which Pubco consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all Pubco shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Pubco common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Ripple Group Subscribers will receive an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pathfinder Units on the Closing Date equal to the quotient of (i) the Ripple Group Subscription Price and (ii) Initial Subscribed Equity Units, plus Adjustment Equity Units. “Ripple Group Subscription Price” means (a) if such Ripple Group Subscriber elected to subscribe for shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pathfinder Units with cash, the amount of cash contributed as set forth on the signature page to the applicable Ripple Group Subscription Agreement or (b) if such Ripple Group Subscriber elected to subscribe for such equity units with XRP, such amount (in USD) equal to the product of (x) the amount of XRP contributed as set forth on the signature page to the Ripple Group Subscription Agreement and (y) the Signing Date XRP Token VWAP.

The Ripple Group Subscribers will receive a number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date that would result in the Ripple Group Holders collectively owning, immediately after the Closing Date and the other related transactions, a number of Pubco Class A Common Stock that would cause such Ripple Group Holders to be the beneficial owners of capital stock of Pubco such that the Ripple Group Ownership Percentage equals 9.9%. The Ripple Group Subscriber will also receive a number of Pathfinder Units equal to the number of Subscribed Equity Interests minus the number of Subscribed Shares.

The closing of each Ripple Group Subscription Agreement is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver by each Ripple Group Subscriber that no Other Ripple Group Subscription Agreement (or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection therewith or in connection with the sale of the Other Ripple Group Subscribed Equity Interests) shall have been amended, modified or waived in any manner that benefits any Other Ripple Group Subscriber unless the Ripple Group Subscriber shall have been offered in writing the same benefits.

No fractional shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, Pubco Class B Common Stock, or Pathfinder Unit will be issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements, and any fractional equity units otherwise issuable will be rounded down to the nearest whole equity unit.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Pubco has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares purchased by the Subscribers pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 75 calendar days after the Closing Date, subject to an extension in the event of SEC review.

The net cash proceeds from the closing of the Subscription Agreements, along with funds from the trust account of the SPAC, will be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and the purchase of XRP.

Each Subscription Agreement will terminate and be void and of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the date that is twelve months from the date of the Subscription Agreement or (iii) the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto.

Pubco, Pathfinder and the Company may seek to raise additional funds through private placement transactions, including PIPE transactions, or other forms of capital raising. There can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms any such future financings may be conducted.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $

287,074

in its operating bank accounts and working capital deficit of $

3,812,654

. The Company intends to 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, 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 New Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (see also Note 4—“Related Party Loans”) either to complete our Business Combination or because the Company may become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic ASC

205-40

(“ASC 205”), “Going Concern,” as of December 31, 2025, the Company has until November 22, 2026 (the “Liquidation Date”) to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an initial business combination by November 22, 2026. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by the Liquidation Date, there will be mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

The Company’s Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 22, 2026.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to

Form10-Q

and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X

of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the period ended September 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on December 4, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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, 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. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

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 cash of $287,074 and $361,105 and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

Table of Contents

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $236,930,055, were held primarily in money market funds which invests in U.S. Treasury securities. As of September 30, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $234,628,166, were held primarily in U.S. Treasury bills which matured on December 11, 2025.

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 federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature, except for Cash and Marketable securities held in Trust Account as described in Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements below.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic

340-10-S99

“

Other Assets and Deferred Costs—SEC Materials

” (“ASC 340”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering” (“SAB Topic 5A”). 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 warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Private Placement Units and the Public and Private Placement Warrants within the Unit, were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public and Private Placement Warrants included in the Units, after management’s evaluation are accounted for under equity treatment.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “

Income Taxes

” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. 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, and the Company believes it is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

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, if there is a shareholder vote (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete 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, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“, 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 value which is equivalent to the

pro-rata

amount held in the Trust

per-share,

less any permitted withdrawals. 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounted for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the 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. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above will not be precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815. 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 355,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of outstanding warrants. However, because the warrants are anti-dilutive, they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.

With respect to the accretion of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC Topic

480-10-S99-3A,

the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend paid to the shareholders in the calculation of the net loss per ordinary share.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share:


	For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025						For the period from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on May 22, 2025, the Company sold 23,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for a total of $230,000,000, which includes the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants will only be exercisable for whole shares at $11.50 per share.

On August 28, 2025, the New Sponsor Purchase was completed, whereby the Original Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from the Original Sponsor, an aggregate of 7,880,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 400,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 200,000 private placement warrants of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000 (see Note 1 –

Changes in control of Registrant

Warrants —

As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, there were 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 355,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of the completion of an initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption.

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 our 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 our Board of Directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by them prior to such issuance), (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 initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our 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 greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issue the additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities. On the exercise of any warrant, the exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the warrant shares and thereafter use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the warrants. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the warrant shares and a current prospectus relating thereto.

If a registration statement covering the issuance of the warrant shares is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may nevertheless, until such time as there is such an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain such an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. In this circumstance, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering warrants exercisable for the number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants and the difference between the exercise price of such warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.

Redemption of Warrants: 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

“

-day

redemption period”); and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $

18.00

per share (as adjusted for share splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any

trading days within a

-trading

day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company will send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the warrant shares underlying the warrants to be so redeemed is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those warrant shares is available throughout the

30-day

redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Table of Contents

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption, each warrant holder may exercise his, her or its warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $18.00 trigger price (as adjusted) as well as the $11.50 exercise price (as adjusted) after the redemption notice is issued. The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of the redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In making such determination, management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our shareholders of issuing the maximum number of warrant shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. In such event, the holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of warrant shares underlying the warrants to be so exercised, and the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the fair market value by (y) the fair market value.

No fractional Class A ordinary share will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the holder.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Founder Shares

On November 7, 2024, the Sponsor purchased 7,880,000 Class B ordinary shares from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.00317 per share, of which up to 1,027,826 founder shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised during the Initial Public Offering. On May 22, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 1,027,826 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

Private Placement Units

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 400,000 private placement units at $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. The underwriters purchased an aggregate of 310,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000.

A portion of the purchase price of the private placement units was added to the proceeds of Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the initial business combination was not completed within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

Certain institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of management, the Sponsor or any other investor), referred to as the

“non-managing

investors”, purchased, indirectly through the purchase of

non-managing

membership interests in the Sponsor, an aggregate of 300,000 Private Placement Units out of the 400,000 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor. Subject to each

non-managing

sponsor investor purchasing the Private Placement Units allocated to it in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor issued additional membership interests at a nominal purchase price to the

non-managing

investors reflecting interests in an aggregate of 2.4 million founder shares.

The agreement with the

non-managing

investors was entered into directly with the Sponsor entity and it makes reference to the Private Placement Units and founder shares of the Company. The interests and units associated in the agreement are supported on one for one basis with the Company’s underlying private placement units and founder shares. The fact that the Sponsor is providing the

non-managing

members with founder shares for their participation in the transaction is considered an inducement and falls under SAB Topic 5A. As such, the Company has obtained a valuation of the Founder Shares, as of the Initial Public Offering date to account for the charge of such transfer of interests to the

non-managing

members. The valuation has identified the fair value of the Founder Shares to be $1.93 per share as of the close of the Initial Public Offering, on May 22, 2025. Since the cost of these interest allocations to the

non-managing

members is considered an offering cost, the Company will record the fair value of this transaction into equity at the initial public offering date calculated as 2,400,000 interests in founder shares allocated to

non-managing

members at a fair value of $4,621,895 or approximately $1.93 per founder share.

The third-party valuation firm used a Monte Carlo simulation to value the Founder Shares. The likelihood of completing the Initial Public offering was assumed to be 100%; the common stock price was $9.845 based on implied stock price; likelihood of a business combination was determined to be 19.9%; and a discount for lack of marketability based on a Finnerty put model yielded 1.7%.

Promissory Note — Related Party

The Sponsor had agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loan was

non-interest

bearing, unsecured and on March 31, 2025, the loan was amended to extend maturity date at the earlier of June 30, 2025, or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Proceeds received under the note were utilized as follows: $127,755 for working capital, $9,840 for payment of deferred offering costs, $4,614 for payment of formation costs and $870 for the payment of operating expenses. As of May 22, 2025, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the note amounting to $143,079. Borrowings under the note are no longer available.

Table of Contents

Administration Fee

Commencing on May 20, 2025, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor $12,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. These monthly fees will cease upon the completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The Original Sponsor had agreed to defer payment of the administration fee until such time as new financing occurs to allow liquidity to pay the fee. The administrative services agreement with the Original Sponsor was terminated on August 28, 2025; all outstanding fees were paid through this date. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any fees for these services. No agreement for administrative service fees has been entered into with the New Sponsor.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. A portion of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post Business Combination entity at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement units. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The Company’s initial shareholders, the

non-managing

investors and their permitted transferees can demand that the Company register the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities and any securities issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, pursuant to an agreement signed prior the date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of a majority of these securities or units issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain piggy-back registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the Underwriters a

45-day

option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts. On May 22, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally the underwriters are entitled to $0.40 per Unit sold in the offering, $9,200,000 in the aggregate, and is payable to the underwriters based on the percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions of public shares, for deferred underwriting commissions to be placed in a Trust Account located in the United States and released to the underwriters only upon the completion of an initial Business Combination.

On September 9, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with its Underwriters that the Underwriters shall, severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions set forth in the letter agreement, and contingent upon the occurrence of a specified event, which is the consummation of a business combination with Pubco, will reimburse a portion of the Company’s bona fide documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering in an amount of $2,300,000 (the “Reimbursement Amount”), with such amount decreased by $0.10 for every Ordinary Share for which a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in connection with or prior to the specified event. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, no reimbursements have been recorded under this agreement.

Service Provider Agreements

The Company has agreed to pay Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”) a cash transaction fee (the “Finder Fee”) equal to 1.0% of the consideration (as defined in the agreement) in the event Northland introduces the Company to the target with which the Company completes an initial Business Combination or has substantive discussions with the target on behalf of and at the specific request of the Company with which the Company completes a Business Combination, payable only upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. At the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company shall reimburse Northland up to $20,000 for all reasonable

out-of-pocket

accountable fees and disbursements incurred by Northland in connection with the performance of its services. As of December 31, 2025, no such expenses have been incurred under the agreement. If we have not consummated an initial Business Combination before November 22, 2026, we may terminate the agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Northland. No amounts were incurred under this agreement from the period from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM, the

Chief Financial Officer

, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The CODM assesses performance for the

single

segment and decides how to allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the unaudited condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:


	December 31, 2025		September 30, 2025
Cash	$	287,074	$	361,105
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account	$	236,930,055	$	234,628,166

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


	Level		December 31, 2025
Assets:
Marketable securities held in Trust Account		1	$	236,930,055


	Level		September 30, 2025
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account		1	$	234,628,166

The fair value of the Public Warrants is $3,565,000 or $0.31 per public warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the public warrants:


	May 22, 2025
Volatility		6.4	%
Risk free rate		3.99	%
Stock price	$	9.845
Weighted term (Yrs)		2.99

The fair value of the 2,400,000 of interests in founders shares allocated to the

non-managing

members was $4,621,895 or approximately $1.93 per Founder Share and was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. These interest allocations have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance.

The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the interest allocations to the

non-managing

members:

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on October 3, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet selected. We may pursue a Business Combination in any industry or sector. For the period from October 3, 2024 (date of inception) through August 28, 2025 our sponsor was Armada Sponsor II LLC. On August 12, 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which our Original Sponsor agreed to sell to our New Sponsor, and our New Sponsor agreed to purchase from our Original Sponsor, an aggregate of 7,880,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 400,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 200,000 private placement warrants of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. Effective August 28, 2025, the New Sponsor Purchase was completed and our Original Sponsor ceased to control the Company. Following the completion, our New Sponsor owns all of our equity interests held by the Original Sponsor, including 100% of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, has the power to appoint all members of the board of directors (the “Board”), and may therefore be deemed to control the Company.

Our registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 20, 2025. On May 22, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of an aggregate of 710,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to our Original Sponsor, Cohen and Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”) and Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,100,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $14,413,386, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $613,386 of other offering costs.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $231,150,000 of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7promulgated

under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Commencing on June 24, 2025, the holders of the Units may elect to trade ordinary shares and the warrants comprising the Units separately.

Proposed Transactions

Business Combination Agreement

On October 19, 2025, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with (a) PubCo, (b) Armada Merger Sub, (c) Pathfinder, (d) Pathfinder Merger Sub, and (e) Ripple.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things, following the Domestication and upon the Closing and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, among other things, (i) Armada Delaware will merge with and into Armada Merger Sub, with Armada Delaware continuing as the surviving company of the Armada Merger, and (ii) at least two hours after the Armada Merger, Pathfinder Merger Sub will merge with and into Pathfinder, with Pathfinder continuing as the surviving company of the Pathfinder Merger.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination Agreement we, along with, Pubco, the New Sponsor and certain securityholders listed therein will enter into a registration rights agreement that will amend and restate the registration rights agreement entered into at the time of our initial public offering between us, the New Sponsor and certain securityholders listed therein (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco will assume the registration obligations of the Company under such registration rights agreement, with such rights applying to the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, Class B common stock (the “Pubco Class B Common Stock”) and Pubco Class C Common Stock.

The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary demand registration rights, piggyback registration rights, and shelf registration rights for the benefit of the holders, subject to customary cutbacks and issuer suspension rights. It also includes customary provisions relating to underwriting participation, registration expenses, indemnification, and coordination of sales in underwritten offerings.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, we entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the New Sponsor and Pubco (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the New Sponsor agreed (i) to vote its Class A Shares and Class B Shares (the “New Sponsor Shares”) in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions and each of the proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement, the proposal to authorize and approve the Pathfinder Merger, and the proposal to approve a plan of domestication, (ii) to vote its New Sponsor Shares against any alternative transactions, (iii) to comply with the restrictions imposed by the Insider Letter (as defined above), by and among us, the Original Sponsor, and our officers and directors at the time of its initial public offering, pursuant to which the New Sponsor was later joined as a party by way of the Joinder (as defined above) to the Insider Letter, by and between us and the New Sponsor, including the restrictions on transfer and redemption of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection with the Transactions, and (iv) subject to and conditioned upon the Closing, to waive any anti-dilution rights that would otherwise result in the Class B Shares converting into Class A Shares on a greater than

one-for-one

basis.

In addition, the New Sponsor agreed to effect certain security cancellations and issuances in connection with the Closing. Specifically, immediately prior to the time on the Closing Date when the certificate to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to certify the Pathfinder Merger (the “Pathfinder Certificate of Merger”) has been duly accepted for filing by the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the applicable provisions of Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “DLLCA”) (or such other time as specified in the Pathfinder Certificate of Merger) (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), the New Sponsor will forfeit for no consideration (a) 120,000 Class A Shares, (b) 2,364,000 Class B Shares and (c) 60,000 warrants, each exercisable for one Class A Share at $11.50 per share (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the New Sponsor also agreed, subject to and effective as of the Closing, to irrevocably and unconditionally release and waive any and all claims it may have against us, Pubco and Pathfinder or their respective affiliates arising on or prior to the Closing, subject to customary carve-outs.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, we generate

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account established for the benefit of our public shareholders (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $603,760, which consisted of interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,301,889, offset by general and administrative costs of $2,905,649.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had a general and administrative costs of $2,905,649 which mainly consists of accounting and legal fees for the services performed in relation to review of business combinations agreements.

For the period from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $45,784, which consisted of general and administrative costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On May 22, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, which includes the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 3,000,000 Units, by the Underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 710,000 private placement units, at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,100,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the Private Placement, a total of $231,150,000 ($10.05 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account.

We incurred transaction costs of $14,413,386, which consisted of $4,600,000 of a cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $613,386 of other offering costs.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $74,031. Net loss of $603,760 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,301,889. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $2,732,321 of cash for operating activities.

For the period from October 3, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $45,784 was affected by the payment of operating costs through the issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $25,000, payment of formation and operating costs through promissory note – related party of $4,614 and $870, respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $15,300 of cash for operating activities.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $236,930,055 (including approximately $5,780,055 of interest income) consisting of money market funds which invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable, if any), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital 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 December 31, 2025, we had cash of $287,074. We intend to 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, 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 funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. A portion of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post Business Combination entity at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement units.

We may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

We have until the end of the Combination Period to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an initial business combination by November 22, 2026. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated within the Combination Period, there will be mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 22, 2026.

These monthly fees will cease upon the completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The administrative services agreement with our Original Sponsor was terminated on August 28, 2025; all outstanding fees were paid through this date. No agreement for administrative service fees has been entered into with our New Sponsor.

We granted the Underwriters a

45-day

option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts. On May 22, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

Additionally, the Underwriters are entitled to $0.40 per Unit sold in the offering, $9,200,000 in the aggregate, and is payable to the Underwriters based on the percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions of public shares, for deferred underwriting commissions to be placed in a Trust Account located in the United States and released to the underwriters only upon the completion of an initial Business Combination. On September 9, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement with our Underwriters that the Underwriters shall, severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions set forth in the letter agreement, and contingent upon the occurrence of a specified event that relates to a digital asset treasury transaction, reimburse a portion of the our bona fide documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with our Initial Public Offering in an amount of $2,300,000 (the “Reimbursement Amount”), with such amount decreased by $0.10 for every ordinary share for which a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in connection with or prior to the specified event. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, no reimbursements have been recorded under this agreement.

We have entered into an agreement with an advisor, Northland, a cash transaction fee equal to a cash transaction fee equal to 1.0% of the consideration in the event that this advisor introduces the Company to the target with which we complete an initial Business Combination which is payable only upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. We have also agreed to pay Northland up to $20,000 in reimbursable

out-of-pocket

expenses. No amounts were incurred under this agreement from the period from our inception through December 31, 2025. We have entered into an agreement with an investor relations advisor, Bishop IR (“Bishop”) for the period from May 19, 2025 through May 18, 2026 with a monthly fee of $8,500, payable only upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination, Bishop will be entitled to a success fee of $100,000 payable only upon and subject to the closing of the initial Business Combination. Bishop shall also be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred on our behalf provided they do not exceed $300 without our prior consent. The agreement with Bishop was terminated effective September 3, 2025 by our New Sponsor. Upon termination of the agreement the Company recognized $37,564 of expenses which are included in deferred professional fees in our unaudited condensed balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

On October 19, 2025, we retained CCM to provide an opinion to our Board as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Fairness opinion) in connection with our proposed Initial Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of its engagement, CCM became entitled to a fee of $450,000 in consideration for the fairness opinion (the “Fairness Opinion Fee”). The Fairness Opinion Fee is due and payable to CCM as follows: (i) up to $100,000 became due to CCM upon informing our Board that it was prepared to render and deliver the fairness opinion; and (ii) the balance of the Fairness Opinion Fee is due upon the earlier of the closing of the proposed Initial Business Combination or the termination of the merger agreement entered into by us with respect to the proposed Initial Business Combination. We have also agreed to reimburse CCM’s reasonable expenses up to an aggregate amount of $125,000 and to indemnify CCM against liabilities arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by CCM under its engagement with us.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 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, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

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 are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to

Rule 13a-15(b)under

the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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 were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules

13a-15(f)

and

15d-15(f)

of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on December 4, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

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

Unregistered Sales

We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Proceeds

On November 7, 2024, we issued 7,880,000 Founder Shares in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. Such securities were issued in connection with the Company’s organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On May 22, 2025, the Sponsor, Cohen and Northland purchased an aggregate of 710,000 Private Placement Units in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.

On May 22, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units. The Units sold in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Cohen acted as lead book runner and Northland acted as joint book-runner for the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on Form

S-1(File

Nos.333-286110).The

registration statement became effective on May 20, 2025.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $14.4 million (which consisted of $4,600,000 of a cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $613,386 of other offering costs). After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, $231,150,000 of the net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on

Form10-Q.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During our last fiscal quarter, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act, adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
