Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Armada Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) as of February 19, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statement”). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 19, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

FEBRUARY 19, 2026

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

Armada Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 19, 2025. The Company is a newly organized blank check company or special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), 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 will be 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 February 19, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from September 19, 2025 (date of inception) through February 19, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation 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 will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. On February 12, 2026, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association to change the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.

Sponsor, Founder and Initial Financing

The Company’s sponsor is Armada Sponsor III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor” and is sometimes referred to as the “Founder”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 17, 2026. On February 19, 2026, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 24,850,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3, which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of 2,350,000 Units by Cohen and Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (“CCM”) and Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”) (collectively, the “Underwriters”)—Note 3, generating gross proceeds of $248,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 672,000 Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,720,000. These funds are held in the Trust Account (discussed below). Of those 672,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 400,000 Private Placement Units and the Underwriters purchased 272,000 Private Placement Units.

Transaction costs amounted to $15,546,740, consisting of $4,970,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,940,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $636,740 of other offering costs.

The Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 19, 2026, an amount of $248,500,000 ($10.00 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 will provide 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 completion window;

(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) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company does not consummate its initial Business Combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to the pre-Business Combination activity and related rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares.

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.

F-4

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 $10.00 per public share ($248,500,000 held in the Trust Account divided by 24,850,000 public shares), as of February 19, 2026.

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 less 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 entered into agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree: (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 connection with the consummation of the 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 this offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statement is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity needs up to February 19, 2026 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $300,000 (Note 4). As of February 19, 2026, the Company had $925,992 in cash and had a working capital of $937,567.

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. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of February 19, 2026, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 204-50, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the completion window to complete the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statement.

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 financial statement 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 $ $925,992 in cash and did not have cash equivalents as of February 19, 2026.

Cash Held in Trust Account

As of February 19, 2026, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $248,500,000, were held in cash.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

F-6

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statement 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 financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 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 were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company 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 February 19, 2026. 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 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 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of February 19, 2026, 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 balance sheet. As of February 19, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:


Gross proceeds	$	248,500,000
Less:
Proceeds allocated to public warrants		(3,802,050	)
Class A ordinary shares issuance cost		(15,292,366	)
Plus:
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value		19,094,416

Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, February 19, 2026	$	248,500,000

F-7

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for the public 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.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments are valued using the Monte Carlo model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on February 19, 2026, the Company sold 24,850,000 at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of 2,350,000 Units by the Underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $248,500,000. 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.

F-8

Warrants — As of February 19, 2026, there were 12,425,000 public warrants and 336,000 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 Proposed 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 the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or 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 the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading-day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the 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 “30-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 20 trading days within a 30-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.

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, the Company’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its 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.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On September 29, 2025, the Sponsor purchased 8,852,917 Class B ordinary shares from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.00282 per share, of which up to 1,136,250 founder shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the Underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised during the Initial Public Offering. On February 19, 2026, the Underwriters partially exercised its over-allotment option and forfeited the unexercised balance. As a result of the partial exercise and the forfeiture of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters, 791,167 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 345,083 founder shares were forfeited, resulting in the Sponsor holding 8,252,834 founder shares.

On December 15, 2025, the Sponsor assigned and transferred and aggregate of 255,000 Class B ordinary shares, of $0.0001 par value per share, to the three directors of the Company (85,000 Class B ordinary shares each). The directors are receiving such shares for their role as directors of the Company. The shares granted have the following vesting terms: (i) 8,500 shares, per director (an aggregate of 25,500 shares) vested upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) 76,500 shares per director (an aggregate of 229,500 shares) will vest in six equity quarterly installments after the Initial Public Offering date, until the 18-month anniversary of the Initial Public Offering, and (iii) the shares shall vest immediately upon the closing of an initial Business Combination of the Company. If the director ceases to be a director of the Company, any shares not vested as per the terms noted above will be forfeited for no consideration. The transfer of the founder shares to the Company’s directors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC Topic 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 255,000 shares transferred to the Company’s directors is $490,306 or $1.92 per share. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $49,031 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, as such shares vested at that time in accordance with the terms of the transfer. The Company established the initial fair value for the directors’ founder shares using Monte Carlo Simulation Model prepared by a third party valuation team, which takes into consideration the following market assumptions; (i) likelihood of completing the Initial Public Offering was assumed to be 90%, (ii) the common share price was $9.868 based on implied share price, (iii) likelihood of a Business Combination was determined to be 21.7%, (iv) the implied volatility based on the current quoted prices of the warrants and underlying share was 8.0% and (v) a discount for lack of marketability based on a Finnerty put model yielded 2.5%. The founder shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs, and other risk factors.

Private Placement Units

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor 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 272,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,720,000.

A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Units will be added to the proceeds of Initial Public Offering to be 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”, committed, pursuant to written agreement, to purchase, indirectly through the purchase of non-managing membership interests in the Sponsor, an aggregate of 275,000 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 approximately 2.2 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 $1.60 per share as of the close of the Initial Public Offering, on February 19, 2026. 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 2,200,000 interests in founder shares allocated to non-managing members at a fair value of $1.60, or $3,513,866.

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 share price was $9.847 based on implied share price; likelihood of a Business Combination was determined to be 16.7%; the implied volatility based on the current quoted prices of the warrants and underlying share was 9.6%; and a discount for lack of marketability based on a Finnerty put model yielded 2.8%.

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 is non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable at the earlier of March 31, 2026 (as amended) or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of February 19, 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the note amounting to $141,000. Borrowings under the note is no longer available.

Administration Fee

Commencing on February 17, 2026, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor $19,000 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. As of February 19, 2026, the Company had paid $19,000 in administrative services fees which were included in prepaid expenses, of which $2,036 had been incurred and is included as a reduction of prepaid expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

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. 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of February 19, 2026, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

FASB 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, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment.

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet 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:


	February 19, 2026
Cash	$	925,992
Cash held in Trust Account	$	248,500,000

The CODM reviews the position of total assets available with the company to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities. The CODM is provided with details of cash and liquid resources available with the Company.

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 the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:


	February 19, 2026
Underlying share price	$	9.847
Exercise price	$	11.50
Volatility		9.60	%
Risk-free rate		3.48	%
