Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the Offering, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company also issued in a private placement to BTIG 1,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of the Offering (the “Representative Shares”). The Representative Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units, except that these securities cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days from the date of the Offering except as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). BTIG has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any Representative Shares until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. In addition, BTIG has agreed to (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination (ii) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Representative Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering. The issuance of the Representative Shares was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 6, 2026, in connection with the Offering, Arghavan Di Rezze, Jamie Weber, Charles N. Kahn III, and Spencer Gerrol (the “New Directors”) were appointed to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Effective January 6, 2026, each of Marc Mazur, Mr. Kahn, and Mr. Gerrol was appointed to the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) with Mr. Mazur serving as chair of the Audit Committee. Each of Mr. Mazur, Mr. Gerrol and Mr. Kahn was appointed to the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), with Mr. Kahn serving as chair of the Compensation Committee.

On January 6, 2026, the Company entered into indemnity agreements with each of Mr. Mazur, Mr. Kahn, Mr. Gerrol, Mr. Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Ms. Di Rezze, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, that require the Company to indemnify each of them to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The foregoing summary of the indemnity agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of indemnity agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 6, 2026, in connection with the Offering, the Company filed its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, which was effective on January 6, 2026. The terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are set forth in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The information included in Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

A total of $253,000,000, comprised of the proceeds from the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (which amount includes up to $10,120,000 of business combination marketing fees payable to BTIG, LLC), was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to the permitted withdrawals as further described in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and the interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its income taxes and for winding up and dissolution expenses, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering (as such date may be extended by shareholder approval to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve), subject to applicable law, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it has not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.
