In connection with the closing, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 3,915,000 additional Units (the “ OA Option ”) for an aggregate of 30,015,000 Units sold. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“ Class A Ordinary Share ”), of the Company and one-third of one redeemable public warrant (the “ Warrants ”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $300,150,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreements, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 747,000 private placement units (the “ Private Placement Units ”) to the Sponsor and Cantor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7,470,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO and OA Option, subject to certain limited exceptions, and will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Private Placement Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. A total of $300,150,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed into a segregated trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of August 14, 2026 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
