SPAC Sponsor, Controlling Persons [Table Text Block]

On August 29, 2025, the sponsor entered into a certain subscription agreement with the company, paying $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share, to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for the issuance of 3,833,333 founder shares in the sponsor. Our sponsor intends to transfer an aggregate of 1,050,000 founder shares on the closing of this offering to third party designees of the sponsor that are purchasing certain of the private placement units and to transfer an additional number of shares to such designees after the consummation of our initial business combination upon certain events occurring. On September 17, 2025, we issued to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. 200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares for a total of $1,304.35 or approximately $0.007 per share. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by the sponsor, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of this offering would be a maximum of 11,500,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such founder shares would represent 33% of the Class A ordinary shares issued in this offering. Up to 500,000 of the founder shares will be surrendered for no consideration depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised. The post-offering percentages in the following table assume that the underwriters do not exercise its over-allotment option, that 500,000 founder shares have been surrendered to us for no consideration, and that there are 13,883,333 ordinary shares issued and outstanding after this offering.
