On August 7, 2025, the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333- 287976), initially filed by STARRY SEA ACQUISITION CORP, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 12, 2025, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO”) was declared effective by the Commission.

On August 11, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $57,500,000.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

●

An Underwriting Agreement dated August 7, 2025, by and between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on August 11, 2025, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor, of 247,121 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,471,210.

The Private Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO. The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until at least 30 days following the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Sponsor was also granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units.

The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement.

Effective on August 7, 2025, in connection with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Mr. Stephen Markscheid, Mr. Peter Jianfeng Chen and Mr. Liang Kang became directors of the Company.

The board has determined that each of Mr. Stephen Markscheid, Mr. Peter Jianfeng Chen and Mr. Liang Kang are independent directors under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and has determined that Mr. Stephen Markscheid, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

Other than as set forth in Item 1.01 and above, none of the directors are party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which they were appointed as directors, nor are they party to any transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company.
