 Item 1. BUSINESS
 General
 We are a blank check company incorporated on October 27, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of completing a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. We have reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into an initial business combination.
 While we may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to look at deep technology with a focus on data analytics. We plan to focus on companies acquiring, processing, analyzing, and utilizing data acquired from a variety of systems and sources. This data may be used to enable and deliver applications such as: remote sensing, telecommunications, financial trading, environmental monitoring, greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, business intelligence, precision agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, space traffic monitoring and management, data science, and their adjacent industries. In addition, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of our sponsor.
 On October 31, 2024 the Company held the annual general meeting (the "Annual Meeting"). The shareholders of the Company approved the following proposals at the Annual Meeting: (a) as a special resolution, to amend the Company's Articles of Association as a special resolution, to provide the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination for a three month extension or until February 9, 2025, then on a month-to-month basis thereafter, as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, until September 9, 2025, by placing $90,000 into the trust account held at Continental Stock & Transfer Company for the three month period, then $30,000 per month thereafter until September 9, 2025, (the "Charter Amendment Proposal"); and (b) as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to consider and vote to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year December 31, 2024 (the "Ratification of Auditors Proposal").
 In connection with the shareholders' vote at the Annual Meeting of shareholders held by the Company on October 31, 2024, 10,438,037 Class A Shares were tendered for redemption, leaving 4,532,462 Class A Shares, which includes the 2,874,999 Class A shares that were issued in exchange for the Class B shares on October 22, 2024, and one Class B Share. As a result, approximately $114,357,720 (or approximately $10.95 per share) will be removed from the Company's trust account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company since that date. After the redemptions, approximately $11,634,723 remained in the Company's trust account.
 Our Management Team
 We will seek to capitalize on the experience and networks of our management team. Our team consists of seasoned and experienced professionals who have experience in equity investments, finance, business operations and management, as well as deal negotiation. We believe our team has the ability to source attractive deals and find good investment opportunities from private and public sources in their networks.
 Other members of our management also have extensive experience in sourcing and evaluating potential investment targets, and have developed a proprietary network of business leaders, investors and intermediaries that we believe can generate deal flow for us.
 Our management team is led by Steven M. Wasserman, our Non-Executive Chairman, Mattia Tomba and Vittorio Savoia, our Co-Chief Executive Officers ("co-CEOs"), and Harshana Sidath Jayaweera, our Chief Financial Officer. The other members of our board of directors are Debbie S. Zoldan, Pablo Terpollili, Carlo Tursi, and Jinal Kumar Bipin Shah. With their support, we intend to conduct a disciplined process of deal origination and evaluation, due diligence, and investment.

 Our group of independent directors provide public company governance, executive leadership, operational oversight, private equity investment management and capital markets experience. Our board members have extensive experience, having served as directors or officers for numerous publicly-listed and privately-owned companies. Our directors have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and implementation, which we believe will significantly benefit us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger candidates as well as following the completion of our initial business combination.
 We believe our management team is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the growing set of acquisition opportunities in the remote sensing, telecommunications, financial trading, environmental monitoring, greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, business intelligence, precision agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, space traffic monitoring and management, data science, including their adjacent industries and that our contacts and relationships, ranging from owners and management teams of private and public companies, private equity funds, investment bankers, attorneys, to accountants and business brokers will allow us to generate an attractive transaction for our shareholders.
 The past performance of the members of our management team or their affiliates is not a guarantee that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate and certain members of our management team do not have previous experience with special purpose acquisition companies or blank check companies. However, we believe that the skills and professional network of our management team will enable us to identify, structure and consummate a business combination. You should not rely on the historical record of the performance of our management team or any of its affiliates' performance as indicative of our future performance.
 Business Strategy
 While we may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to look at deep technology with a focus on data analytics. We plan to focus on companies acquiring, processing, analyzing, and utilizing data acquired from a variety of systems and sources. This data may be used to enable and deliver applications such as: remote sensing, telecommunications, financial trading, environmental monitoring, greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, business intelligence, precision agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, space traffic monitoring and management, data science, and their adjacent industries.
 We believe there is a diverse set of opportunities globally where value can be unlocked by accessing international capital markets. We believe our management team is uniquely qualified to use its extensive networks and experience to source and execute a business combination. Possible acquisitions may involve special situations in which significant value can be created by recapitalization, providing growth capital and allowing the company to use its listing to engage in additional consolidations in its industry.
 We intend to capitalize on the operating experience and contacts of Steven M. Wasserman, our Non-Executive Chairman, and Mattia Tomba and Vittorio Savoia, our co-CEOs, along with the other members of our management team in consummating an initial business combination. These individuals have extensive transactional experience and a broad network of contacts to assist in our search for a target business.
 Acquisition Criteria
 The focus of our management team is to create shareholder value by leveraging its experience to improve the efficiency of the business while implementing strategies to grow revenue and profits organically and/or through acquisitions. Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these criteria and guidelines should we see fit to do so:
 Strong Growth Potential. As a result of the space and data economy and related services' strong growth over the past several decades, there are a large number of domestic and regional companies with principal business operations which are serving the ever-increasing emerging needs of the economy. In addition, we intend to target businesses that have historically demonstrated revenue growth and possess favorable future growth characteristics, combined with a durable business model that is resistant to macroeconomic volatility. We will seek target businesses for which we can provide strategic advice, access to sufficient capital and effective operational expertise, to grow the business.

 Unique Market Position. We intend to seek target businesses with an industry or businesses that have leading competitive technology, unique brand equity and/or product competences. In particular, we intend to seek businesses that may be at a point of achieving high growth and require additional expertise or capital to help drive their further expansion.
 Benefit from Capital Markets. We intend to seek to acquire a target with an experienced operating management team that may lack experience with the capital markets but that has the ambition to take advantage of the improved liquidity and additional capital that can come from a successful listing in the United States. The access to the capital markets could allow such a target business to accelerate its growth and build capital profile.
 These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.
 Initial Business Combination
 The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. Our board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target's assets or prospects. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial business combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors.
 We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the prior owners of the target business, the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
 Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital share, shares or other equity interests of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test. If the business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% fair market value test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses and we will treat the target businesses together as our initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking shareholder approval, as applicable.
 To the extent we effect our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

 In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information which will be made available to us.
 Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
 Sourcing of Potential Initial Business Combination Targets
 Certain members of our management team have spent significant portions of their careers working with businesses or government agencies involving remote sensing, telecommunications, financial trading, environmental monitoring, greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, business intelligence, precision agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, space traffic monitoring and management, data science, including their adjacent industries, and have developed a wide network of professional services contacts and business relationships in those industries.
 We believe that the network of contacts and relationships of our management team provides us with an important source of acquisition opportunities. In addition, we anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment market participants, private equity groups, investment banks, consultants, accounting firms and large business enterprises.
 Members of our management team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own founder shares and/or placement shares and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. The low price that the members of our management team paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if the company selects an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors. In the event we do not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the closing of the initial public offering, the founder shares and placement shares will expire worthless which could create an incentive for our officers and directors to complete a transaction even if the company selects an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
 In addition, each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
 In addition, certain of our officers and directors presently sponsor and any of them or our sponsor may in the future sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

 Status as a Public Company
 We believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses. As a public company, we offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with us. Following an initial business combination, we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better aligned with shareholders' interests than it would as a private company. A target business can further benefit by augmenting its profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees. In a business combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares in the target business for our Class A Ordinary Shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our Class A Ordinary Shares and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers.
 Although there are various costs and obligations associated with being a public company, we believe target businesses will find this method a more expeditious and cost effective method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, marketing and road show efforts that may not be present to the same extent in connection with an initial business combination with us.
 Furthermore, once a proposed initial business combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters' ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could delay or prevent the offering from occurring or could have negative valuation consequences. Following an initial business combination, we believe the target business would then have greater access to capital and an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with shareholders' interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a company's profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.
 While we believe that our structure and our management team's backgrounds make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder approval of any proposed initial business combination, negatively.
 We are 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 JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
 In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
 We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

 Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.
 Financial Position
 With $11,851,808 available in the trust account as of December 31, 2024, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.
 Effecting Our Initial Business Combination
 We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business for an indefinite period of time following our initial public offering. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the placement shares, as well as our equity, debt or a combination of these, in effecting a business combination which has not yet been identified. Accordingly, investors in our securities are investing without first having an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more business combinations. A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various federal and state securities laws. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. While we may seek to effect simultaneous business combinations with more than one target business, we will probably have the ability, as a result of our limited resources, to effect only a single business combination.
 We will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a general meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or do not vote at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), or (2) provide our shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our proposed business combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our 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 us to seek shareholder approval. If we decide to allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer, we will file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC's proxy rules. If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, we will consummate our initial business combination only if approved as an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares held by shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company to approve the business combination or as a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the shares held by shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company to approve the business combination to the extent that such business combination is structured as a merger.
 We have until September 9, 2025, so long as the Company deposits $30,000 each month, to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within such 18 month period, we may seek shareholder approval of the amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association for any extension beyond 18 months at a meeting called for such purpose. Public shareholders will be offered the opportunity to vote on and redeem their shares in connection with any such extension.

 If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination within the applicable time period, we will redeem 100% of our issued and outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. We expect the pro rata redemption price to be approximately $10.15 per Class A Ordinary Share, without taking into account any interest earned on such funds. However, we cannot assure you that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders.
 If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A Ordinary Shares, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
 We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the trust account. If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our existing shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our Class A Ordinary Shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would expect to complete such financing only simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust account assets, our proxy materials or tender offer documents disclosing the initial business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by applicable law or share exchange requirements, we would seek shareholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately, or through loans in connection with our initial business combination. At this time, we are not a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of securities or otherwise.
 Sources of Target Businesses
 We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and investment professionals, as a result of being solicited by us by calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read this Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as our sponsor and their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors and our sponsor and their affiliates. We may engage the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions. If we engage such firms or individuals, we may pay a finder's fee, consulting fee, advisory fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm's length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of finder's fees is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. In no event, however, will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors be paid any finder's fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation by the company prior to, or in connection with any services rendered for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). None of our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be allowed to receive any compensation, finder's fees or consulting fees from a prospective business combination target in connection with a contemplated initial business combination except as set forth herein. We pay Alchemy Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services and to reimburse our sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and

 completing an initial business combination. Some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the post-transaction company following our initial business combination. The presence or absence of any such fees or arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our selection process of an initial business combination candidate.
 We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a target that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors or making the initial business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a target that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of our independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from an independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that the business combination is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
 As more fully discussed in the section of this Report entitled " Directors, Executive Officers And Corporate Governance — Conflicts of Interest," if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
 Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of our Initial Business Combination
 Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The fair market value of our initial business combination will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as discounted cash flow valuation, a valuation based on trading multiples of comparable public businesses or a valuation based on the financial metrics of M&A transactions of comparable businesses. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it unlikely that our board of directors will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of a target's assets or prospects. We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business combination. Subject to this requirement, our management will virtually have unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
 In any case, we will only complete an initial business combination in which we own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquire a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we own or acquire less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses, the portion of such business or businesses that are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company is what will be taken into account for purposes of Nasdaq's 80% fair market value test. There is no basis for investors in our securities to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial business combination.
 To the extent we effect our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

 In evaluating a prospective business target, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review, which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial and other information that will be made available to us.
 Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. In addition, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of our sponsor.
 Lack of Business Diversification
 For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. In addition, we intend to focus our search for an initial business combination in a single industry. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

 subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination, and

 cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

 Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target's Management Team
 Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business' management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
 We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
 Following an initial business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

 Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination
 We may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons. Presented in the table below is a graphic explanation of the types of initial business combinations we may consider and whether shareholder approval is currently required under Cayman Islands law for each such transaction.
 Type of Transaction

 Whether Stockholder Approval is Required

 Purchase of assets

 No

 Purchase of stock of target not involving a merger with the company

 No

 Merger of target into a subsidiary of the company

 No

 Merger of the company with a target

 Yes

 Under Nasdaq's listing rules, shareholder approval would be required for our initial business combination if, for example:

 we issue Class A Ordinary Shares that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding (other than in a public offering);

 any of our directors, officers or substantial shareholders (as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of ordinary shares could result in an increase in outstanding ordinary shares or voting power of 5% or more; or

 the issuance or potential issuance of ordinary shares will result in our undergoing a change of control.

 Permitted Purchases of our Securities
 If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase public shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination where otherwise permissible under applicable law, rules and regulations. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination.

 The purpose of any such transaction could be to (1) reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (2) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our Class A Ordinary Shares or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
 Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the shareholders with whom our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by shareholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the trust account or vote against our initial business combination, whether or not such shareholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial business combination. Our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates will only purchase public shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
 Any purchases by our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of ordinary shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. We expect that any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.
 Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination
 We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A Ordinary Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be approximately $10.15 per public share, as increased for any interest earned on the funds in the trust account. The per-share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.
 Manner of Conducting Redemptions
 We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public Class A Ordinary Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our 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 require us to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement. Under Nasdaq rules, asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding ordinary shares or seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association would require shareholder approval. If we structure an initial business combination with a target company in a manner that requires shareholder approval, we will not have discretion as to whether to seek a shareholder vote to approve the proposed initial business combination. We may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless shareholder approval is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements or we choose to seek shareholder approval for business

 or other legal reasons. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with such rules.
 If shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and

 file proxy materials with the SEC.

 In the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our public shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
 If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if approved as an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares held by shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company to approve the business combination. A quorum for such a meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital share of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital share of the company entitled to vote at such meeting. Our sponsor will count toward this quorum and pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any founder shares and placement shares held by them and any public shares acquired during or after our initial public offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding Ordinary Shares voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. Since our Sponsor holds 3,413,000 ordinary shares in the Company, consisting of 3,412,999 Class A Ordinary Shares and one Class B Ordinary Share, we do not need any other holders of Class A Ordinary Shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all of the outstanding shares are voted). Our sponsor's holdings will make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public shareholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
 If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and

 file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.

 Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, we or our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through a tender offer, to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
 In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. If public shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination. The proposed initial business combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial

 business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
 Limitation on Redemption upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination if we Seek Shareholder Approval
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares sold in our initial public offering, which we refer to as the "Excess Shares," without our prior consent. Such restriction shall also be applicable to our affiliates. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed initial business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders' ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.
 Tendering Share Certificates in Connection with Redemption Rights
 We may require our public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the proxy material on the proposal to approve the initial business combination, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using the DTC's DWAC System, at the holder's option. The proxy materials that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public shareholder would have up to the date set forth in the proxy material to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their public shares.
 There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
 The foregoing is different from the procedures used by many special purpose acquisition companies. In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, many blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the shareholders' vote on an initial business combination, and a holder could simply vote against a proposed initial business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder was seeking to exercise his or her redemption rights. After the initial business combination was approved, the company would contact such shareholder to arrange for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership. As a result, the shareholder then had an "option window" after the completion of the initial business combination during which he or she could monitor the price of the company's share in the market. If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or her shares in the open market before actually delivering his or her shares to the company for cancellation. As a result, the redemption rights, to which shareholders were aware they needed to commit before the shareholder meeting, would become "option" rights surviving past the completion of the initial business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming holder's election to redeem is irrevocable once the initial business combination is approved.
 Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time with the approval of the board of directors. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return

 the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.
 If our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
 If our initial proposed initial business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete an initial business combination with a different target until 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering.
 Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if no Initial Business Combination
 Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we will have only 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such 18-month period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the 18-month time period.
 Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares or placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 9, 2025 so long as the $30,000 extension fee is deposited into the Trust Account. However, if our sponsor, officers or directors acquire public shares in or after our initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by that time.
 Our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or certain amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
 We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the $181,174 of proceeds held outside the trust account (as of December 31, 2024), although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. As mentioned in Note 5, the Company obtained another $600,000 loan from the Sponsor to cover for future costs and expenses. We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the trust account to pay any tax obligations we may owe. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay such taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
 If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.15. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however,

 become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public shareholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.15. Under Section 140 of the Companies Act, in a voluntary winding up of the Company, the property of the Company shall be applied in satisfaction of its liabilities before any distribution of the remaining assets to our shareholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors' claims.
 Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of our initial public offering, did not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account.
 In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, or any claim by a taxing authority, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.15 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our sponsor's only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
 In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.15 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.15 per public share.
 We will seek to reduce the possibility that our sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. Our sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have access to up to $181,174 of the proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares held out of the trust account (as of December 31, 2024) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately

 $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
 If we file a bankruptcy petition, winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.15 per share to our public shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance." As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
 Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) 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 our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or certain amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder's voting in connection with the initial business combination alone will not result in a shareholder's redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights as described above. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, like all provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, may be amended with a shareholder vote.
 Competition
 In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses seeking strategic business combinations. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the initial business combination of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination. While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our available financial resources.
 The following also may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses:

 our obligation to seek shareholder approval of a business combination or obtain the necessary financial information to be sent to shareholders in connection with such business combination may delay or prevent the completion of a transaction;

 our obligation to convert public shares held by our public shareholders may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination;

 Nasdaq may require us to file a new listing application and meet its initial listing requirements to maintain the listing of our securities following a business combination;

 our outstanding warrants and the potential future dilution they represent;

 our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to Cantor upon consummation of our initial business combination;

 our obligation to either repay or issue shares upon conversion of up to $1,500,000 of working capital loans that may be made to us by our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates;

 our obligation to register the resale of the insider shares, as well as the placement shares and any securities issued to our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans; and

 the impact on the target business' assets as a result of unknown liabilities under the securities laws or otherwise depending on developments involving us prior to the consummation of a business combination.

 Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms.
 If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.
 Facilities
 We maintain our principal executive office at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204-F, Newark, DE 19711 and our telephone number is (212) 877-1588. Our corporate website address is  We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
 Employees
 We have three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the business combination process the company is in. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently spend more time to our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business. We presently expect our executive officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.
 Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
 We have registered our units, Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site at  that contains such reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountants.

 We will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential targets we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
 We will be required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target company may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination. We have filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial business combination.
 We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Law. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.
 We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
 In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
 We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter.
 Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
 An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the material risks described below, which we believe represent the material risks related to our securities, together with the other information contained in this Report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. This Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks described below.
 Risks Associated with Our Business
 We are a blank check company with no operating history and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.
 We are a blank check company with no operating results to date. Since we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business. We will not generate any revenues until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.
 Our independent registered public accounting firm's report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a "going concern."
 As of December 31, 2024, we had $181,174 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,583,237 (excluding the amount held in Trust). We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our business combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. If we are unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by September 9, 2025 (as such date may be extended by approval of the company's shareholders), then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.
 The requirement that we complete an initial business combination within a specific period of time may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating our initial business combination and may limit the amount of time we have to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to consummate our initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.
 We have until September 9, 2025 so long as the $30,000 per month extension fee is deposited into the Trust Account to complete an initial business combination. Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware of this requirement. Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete a business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete a business combination with any other target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the time limits referenced above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.
 You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of blank check companies.
 Since the net proceeds of our initial public offering are intended to be used to complete a business combination with a target business that has not been identified, we may be deemed to be a "blank check" company under the United States securities laws. However, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419.

 Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules which would, for example, completely restrict the transferability of our securities, restrict the use of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and require us to complete a business combination within 18 months from the closing of the offering. Because we are not subject to Rule 419, our units were immediately tradable, we are entitled to withdraw amounts from the funds held in the trust account prior to the completion of a business combination and we may have more time to complete an initial business combination.
 Our sponsor paid an aggregate of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.0116 per founder share. As a result of this low initial price, our sponsor, its affiliates and our management team stand to make a substantial profit even if an initial business combination subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our public shareholders.
 As a result of the low acquisition cost of our founder shares, our sponsor, its affiliates and our management team could make a substantial profit even if we select and consummate an initial business combination with an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our public shareholders. Thus, such parties may have more of an economic incentive for us to enter into an initial business combination with a riskier, weaker-performing or financially unstable business, or an entity lack an established record of revenues or earnings, than would be the case if such parties had paid the full offering price for their founder shares.
 In the event that we do not consummate a business combination by September 9, 2025 so long as the monthly $30,000 extension fee is deposited into the Trust Account, the founders shares and placement shares will expire worthless.
 In the event the company does not consummate a business combination by September 9, 2025 so long as the monthly $30,000 extension fee is deposited into the Trust Account, the founder shares and placement shares will expire worthless which could create an incentive for our officers and directors to complete a transaction even if the company selects an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors.
 We may issue additional Ordinary Shares, preference shares or debt securities to complete a business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our shareholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.
 Immediately after our initial public offering and the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, there were 458,279,500 authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of the shares underlying the founder shares and the public warrants). Although we have no commitment as of the date of this Report, we may issue a substantial number of additional Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or preference shares, or a combination of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and preference shares, to complete a business combination. The issuance of additional Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or preference shares:

 may significantly reduce the equity interest of current investors in our securities;

 may subordinate the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares if we issue preference shares with rights senior to those afforded to our Ordinary Shares;

 may cause a change in control if a substantial number of Ordinary Shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

 may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Ordinary Shares.

 Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

 default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

 acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

 our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

 our inability to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares;

 using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Ordinary Shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

 increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

 limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.
 Since we have not yet identified any prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of our initial public offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or the obligation to redeem for cash (or purchase in any tender offer) a significant number of shares from redeeming shareholders, we will be required to seek additional financing. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.
 If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by shareholders may be less than $10.15.
 Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public shareholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives

 available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
 Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.15 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement between the company, the sponsor and the company's officers and directors, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third-party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, or any claim by a taxing authority, reduce the amounts in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.15 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities related to our initial business combination. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
 However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our sponsor's only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.15 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
 Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them.
 Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we will continue in existence only until 18 months from the consummation of our initial public offering if a business combination has not been consummated by such time. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination during such time period, it will trigger our automatic winding up, liquidation and dissolution. As such, our shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them pursuant to such process and any liability of our shareholders may extend beyond the date of such distribution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties, or us under the control of an official liquidator, will not seek to recover from our shareholders amounts owed to them by us.
 If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offense and may be liable to pay a fine and/or subject to imprisonment.

 Changes in the market for directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.
 In recent months, the market for directors and officers liability insurance for special purpose acquisition companies has changed. The premiums charged for such policies have generally increased and the terms of such policies have generally become less favorable. There can be no assurance that these trends will not continue.
 The increased cost and decreased availability of directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate an initial business combination. In order to obtain directors and officers liability insurance or modify its coverage as a result of becoming a public company, the post-business combination entity might need to incur greater expense, accept less favorable terms or both. However, any failure to obtain adequate directors and officers liability insurance could have an adverse impact on the post-business combination's ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors.
 In addition, even after we were to complete an initial business combination, our directors and officers could still be subject to potential liability from claims arising from conduct alleged to have occurred prior to the initial business combination. As a result, in order to protect our directors and officers, the post-business combination entity will likely need to purchase additional insurance with respect to any such claims ("run-off insurance"). The need for run-off insurance would be an added expense for the post-business combination entity, and could interfere with or frustrate our ability to consummate an initial business combination on terms favorable to our investors.
 We depend on a variety of U.S. and multi-national financial institutions to provide us with banking services. The default or failure of one or more of the financial institutions that we rely on may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
 We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of the failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our liquidity, business and financial condition.
 Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.
 We are subject to the laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.
 On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the "2024 SPAC Rules"), effective as of 125 days following the publication of the 2024 SPAC Rules in the Federal Register, that formally adopted some of the SEC's proposed rules for SPACs that were released on March 30, 2022. The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, including requiring disclosure of all material bases of the projections and all material assumptions underlying the projections; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and could impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

 Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
 Although the U.S. inflation rate has decreased in the fourth quarter, it remains well above the historic levels over the past several decades. Such increased inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere may lead to (i) increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, (ii) increased borrowing costs and higher risk-free rates, (iii) other national, regional and international economic disruptions, and (iv) uncertainty regarding the valuation of target businesses, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
 Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.15 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
 We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.15 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
 Holders of warrants will not have redemption rights if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period.
 If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and we redeem the funds held in the trust account, the warrants will expire and holders will not receive any of such proceeds with respect to the warrants.
 We have no obligation to net cash settle the warrants.
 In no event will we have any obligation to net cash settle the warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
 If we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants, holders will only be able to exercise such redeemable warrants on a "cashless basis" which would result in a fewer number of shares being issued to the holder had such holder exercised the redeemable warrants for cash.
 Except as set forth below, if we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a "cashless basis," provided that an exemption from registration is available. As a result, the number of Ordinary Shares that a holder will receive upon exercise of its warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised its warrant for cash. Further, if an exemption from registration is not available, holders would not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and would only be able to exercise their warrants for cash if a current and effective prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is available. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to do so, the potential "upside" of the holder's investment in our company may be reduced or the warrants may expire worthless.
 An investor will only be able to exercise warrants if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.
 No warrants will be exercisable for cash and we will not be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such exercise have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of

 residence of the holder of the warrants. At the time that the warrants become exercisable, we expect to continue to be listed on a national securities exchange, which would provide an exemption from registration in every state. However, we cannot assure you of this fact. If the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may be deprived of any value, the market for the warrants may be limited and they may expire worthless if they cannot be sold.
 Our management's ability to require holders of our redeemable warrants to exercise such redeemable warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer Ordinary Shares upon their exercise of the redeemable warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise their redeemable warrants for cash.
 If we call our warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria have been satisfied, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his warrants (including any warrants held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees) to do so on a "cashless basis." If our management chooses to require holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, the number of Ordinary Shares received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised his warrants for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential "upside" of the holder's investment in our company.
 The requirement that the target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination may limit the type and number of companies that we may complete such a business combination with.
 Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rules, the target business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. This restriction may limit the type and number of companies with which we may complete a business combination. If we are unable to locate a target business or businesses that satisfy this fair market value test, we may be forced to liquidate and you will only be entitled to receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account.
 If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange after our initial public offering, we would not be required to satisfy the fair market value requirement described above and could complete a business combination with a target business having a fair market value substantially below 80% of the balance in the trust account.
 Our ability to successfully effect a business combination and to be successful thereafter will be entirely dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following a business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct.
 Our ability to successfully effect a business combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our key personnel, at least until we have consummated our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain with us for the immediate or foreseeable future. In addition, none of our officers are required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, they will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have employment agreements with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our officers. The unexpected loss of the services of our key personnel could have a detrimental effect on us.

 The role of our key personnel in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some of our key personnel may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following a business combination, it is likely that some or all of the management of the target business will remain in place or be hired after consummation of the business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely affect our operations.
 Our officers and directors may not have significant experience or knowledge regarding industry of the target business we may seek to acquire.
 While we intend to focus our search for target businesses within the industries as described in this Report, we may consummate a business combination with a target business in any industry we choose. We cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have enough experience or have sufficient knowledge relating to the jurisdiction of the target or its industry to make an informed decision regarding a business combination. If we become aware of a potential business combination outside of the industry where our officers and directors have the most experience, our management may retain consultants and advisors with experience in such industries to assist in the evaluation of such business combination and in our determination of whether or not to proceed with such a business combination. However, our management is not required to engage consultants or advisors in any situation. If they do not engage any consultants or advisors to assist them in the evaluation of a particular target business or business combination, our management may not properly analyze the risks attendant with such target business or business combination. Even if our management does engage consultants or advisors to assist in the evaluation of a particular target business or business combination, we cannot assure you that such consultants or advisors will properly analyze the risks attendant with such target business or business combination. As a result, we may enter into a business combination that is not in our shareholders' best interests.
 Our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following a business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.
 Our key personnel will be able to remain with the company after the consummation of a business combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements or other arrangements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the company after the consummation of the business combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business.
 Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses thereby potentially limiting the amount of time they devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination.
 Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which could create a conflict of interest when allocating their time between our operations and their other commitments. We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. All of our officers and directors are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. If our officers' and directors' other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate our initial business combination. We cannot assure you these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
 Our officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
 Our officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations to other companies, including other companies that are engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Accordingly, they may participate in

 transactions and have obligations that may be in conflict or competition with our consummation of our initial business combination. As a result, a potential target business may be presented by our management team to another entity prior to its presentation to us and we may not be afforded the opportunity to engage in a transaction with such target business. For a more detailed description of the pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations of our management team, and the potential conflicts of interest that such obligations may present, see the section titled " Directors, Executive Officers And Corporate Governance — Conflicts of Interest."
 Our officers' and directors' personal and financial interests may influence their motivation in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination.
 Our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and placement shares held by them and any public shares they may acquire during or after our initial public offering in connection with the completion of our initial business combination or otherwise. Furthermore, sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their right to receive liquidation distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares and placement shares upon our liquidate if we are unable to consummate our initial business combination. Accordingly, these securities will be worthless if we do not consummate our initial business combination. In addition, our officers and directors may loan funds to us after our initial public offering and may be owed reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with certain activities on our behalf which would only be repaid if we complete an initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Consequently, our directors' and officers' discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our shareholders' best interest. If this were the case, it would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to us as a matter of Cayman Islands law and we might have a claim against such individuals. However, we might not ultimately be successful in any claim we may make against them for such reason.
 Members of our management team and board of directors have significant experience as founders, board members, officers, executives or employees of other companies. Certain of those persons have been, may be, or may become, involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including related to those companies or otherwise. The defense or prosecution of these matters could be time-consuming and could divert our management's attention, and may have an adverse effect on us, which may impede our ability to consummate an initial business combination.
 During the course of their careers, members of our management team and board of directors have had significant experience as founders, board members, officers, executives or employees of other companies. As a result of their involvement and positions in these companies, certain of those persons have been, may be or may in the future become involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including relating to the business affairs of such companies, transactions entered into by such companies, or otherwise. Individual members of our management team and board of directors also may become involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings involving claims or allegations related to or as a result of their personal conduct, either in their capacity as a corporate officer or director or otherwise, and may be personally named in such actions and potentially subject to personal liability. Any such liability may or may not be covered by insurance and/or indemnification, depending on the facts and circumstances. The defense or prosecution of these matters could be time-consuming. Any litigation, investigations or other proceedings and the potential outcomes of such actions may divert the attention and resources of our management team and board of directors away from identifying and selecting a target business or businesses for our initial business combination and may negatively affect our reputation, which may impede our ability to complete an initial business combination.
 We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of our initial public offering, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products or services.
 We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of our initial public offering. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:

 solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, or

 dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

 This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination.
 Alternatively, if we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the business combination. With multiple business combinations, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.
 We may be unable to consummate a business combination if a target business requires that we have cash in excess of the minimum amount we are required to have at closing and public shareholders may have to remain shareholders of our company and wait until our liquidation to receive a pro rata share of the trust account or attempt to sell their shares in the open market.
 A potential target may make it a closing condition to our business combination that we have a certain amount of cash available at the time of closing. If the number of our shareholders electing to exercise their redemption rights or sell their shares to us in a tender offer has the effect of reducing the amount of money available to us to consummate a business combination below such minimum amount required by the target business and we are not able to locate an alternative source of funding, we will not be able to consummate such business combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. In that case, public shareholders may have to remain shareholders of our company and wait the full 18 months in order to be able to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account, or attempt to sell their shares in the open market prior to such time, in which case they may receive less than a pro rata share of the trust account for their shares.
 Our public shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, which means we may consummate our initial business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.
 We intend to hold a shareholder vote before we consummate our initial business combination. However, if a shareholder vote is not required, for business or legal reasons, we may conduct redemptions via a tender offer and not offer our shareholders the opportunity to vote on a proposed business combination. Accordingly, we may consummate our initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our public shares do not approve of the business combination.
 If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.
 Pursuant to a letter agreement with us, our sponsor has agreed to vote its shares, including any shares it may acquire during or after our initial public offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions), in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our sponsor's founder shares and our sponsor's placement shares, we would not need the vote of any holders Class A Ordinary Shares sold in our initial public offering and in the private placement to the representative in connection with our initial public offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted and the over-allotment option is not exercised). Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our sponsor to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the requisite shareholder approval for such initial business combination.
 In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder the option to vote in favor of a proposed business combination and still seek redemption of his, her or its public shares, which may make it more likely that we will consummate a business combination.
 In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public shareholder the right to have his, her or its public shares redeemed for cash (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this Report) regardless of

 whether such shareholder votes for or against such proposed business combination. Furthermore, we will consummate our initial business combination only if approved as an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares held by shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company to approve the business combination or as a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the shares held by shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company to approve the business combination to the extent that such business combination is structured as a merger. Accordingly, public shareholders owning shares sold in our initial public offering may exercise their redemption rights and we could still consummate a proposed business combination so long as a majority of shares voted at the meeting are voted in favor of the proposed business combination. This is different than other similarly structured blank check companies where shareholders are offered the right to redeem their shares only when they vote against a proposed business combination. This is also different than other similarly structured blank check companies where there is a specific number of shares sold in the offering which must not exercise redemption rights for the company to complete a business combination. The lack of such a threshold and the ability to seek redemption while voting in favor of a proposed business combination may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination.
 In connection with any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, we may require shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.
 In connection with any shareholder meeting called to approve a proposed initial business combination, each public shareholder will have the right, regardless of whether it is voting for or against such proposed business combination, to demand that we redeem its public shares into a share of the trust account. Such redemption will be effectuated under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as a redemption of the shares, with the redemption price to be paid being the applicable pro rata portion of the monies held in the trust account. We may require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with a proposed business combination to either tender their certificates (if any) to our transfer agent or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian ("DWAC") System, at the holder's option, at any time at or prior to the date set forth in the proxy material on the proposal to approve the initial business combination or prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holder. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. It is also our understanding that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System. However, this too may not be the case. Accordingly, if it takes longer than we anticipate for shareholders to deliver their shares, shareholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their shares.
 Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption.
 Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we are required to give a minimum of only five clear days' notice for each general meeting. As a result, if we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their shares for redemption. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain our securities when they otherwise would not want to.
 If we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such redeeming shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the proposed business combination is not approved.
 If we require public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption described above and such proposed business combination is not consummated, we will promptly return such certificates to the tendering public shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until we have returned their securities to them. The market price for our shares may decline during this time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.

 As a result of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to consummate an attractive business combination. This could increase the cost of our initial business combination and could even result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial business combination.
 We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds, other blank check companies and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess similar or greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. In addition, certain of our officers and directors presently sponsor and any of them or our sponsor may in the future sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours. Steven M. Wasserman serves as a director on the board of byNordic Acquisition Corporation, a special purposes acquisition company.
 While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, seeking shareholder approval of a business combination may delay or prevent the consummation of a transaction, a risk a target business may not be willing to accept. Additionally, our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of the foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.
 Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination. This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find and consummate an initial business combination and may result in our inability to consummate an initial business combination on terms favorable to our investors altogether.
 We may issue our shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price that is less than the prevailing market price of our shares at that time.
 In connection with our initial business combination, we may issue shares to investors in private placement transactions (so-called PIPE transactions) at a price of $10.00 per share or which approximates the per-share amounts in our trust account at such time. The purpose of such issuances will be to enable us to provide sufficient liquidity to the post-business combination entity. The price of the shares we issue may therefore be less, and potentially significantly less, than the market price for our shares at such time. Any such issuances could dilute the interests of our shareholders.
 The nominal purchase price paid by our sponsor for the founder shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of your public shares upon the consummation of our initial business combination.
 We offered our units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and the amount in our trust account was initially $10.15 per public share, implying an initial value of $10.15 per public share. However, prior to our initial public offering, our sponsor paid a nominal aggregate purchase price of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.0116 per share. As a result, the value of your public shares may be significantly diluted upon the consummation of our initial business combination, when the founder shares are converted into Class A ordinary shares. For example, the following table shows the dilutive effect of the founder shares on the implied value of the public shares upon the consummation of our initial business combination, assuming that our equity value at that time is $115,489,565, which is the amount we have for our initial business combination in the trust account (as of December 31, 2023) after payment of $5,175,000 of deferred underwriting discounts, no additional interest is earned on the funds held in the trust account, and no public shares are redeemed in connection with our initial business combination, and without taking into account any other potential impacts on our valuation at such time, such as the trading price of our public shares, the business combination transaction costs, any equity issued or cash paid to the target's sellers or other third parties, or the target's business itself, including its assets, liabilities, management and prospects. At such valuation, each of our Ordinary Shares would have an implied value of $7.71 per share upon consummation of our initial business combination, which would be a 24.0% decrease as compared to the initial implied value per public share of $10.15 (the price per unit in our initial public offering, assuming no value to the public warrants).

 The value of the founder shares following completion of our initial business combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our ordinary shares at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share.
 Upon the closing of our initial public offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, our sponsor will have invested in us an aggregate of $5,430,000, comprised of the $50,000 purchase price for the founder shares and the $5,380,000 purchase price for the placement shares. Assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share upon consummation of our initial business combination, the 2,875,000 founder shares would have an aggregate implied value of $28,750,000. Even if the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was as low as approximately $1.89 per share, and the placement shares were worthless, the value of the founder shares would be equal to the sponsor's initial investment in us. As a result, our sponsor is likely to be able to recoup its investment in us and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if our public shares have lost significant value. Accordingly, our management team, which owns interests in our sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the public shareholders to pursue and consummate an initial business combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the trust to the public shareholders, even if that business combination were with a riskier or less-established target business. For the foregoing reasons, you should consider our management team's financial incentive to complete an initial business combination when evaluating whether to redeem your shares prior to or in connection with the initial business combination.
 Unlike some other similarly structured special purpose acquisition companies, our sponsor will receive additional Class A Ordinary Shares if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial business combination.
 The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time at the option of the holders thereof and upon the consummation of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20.0% of the total number of public shares outstanding after such conversion, including the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any placement shares issued to our sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. This is different than some other similarly structured special purpose acquisition companies in which their initial shareholders will only be issued an aggregate of 20% of the total number of shares to be outstanding prior to our initial business combination. Additionally, the aforementioned adjustment will not take into account any Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the business combination. Accordingly, the holders of the founder shares could receive additional Class A Ordinary Shares even if the additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or equity-linked securities convertible or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, are issued or deemed issued solely to replace those shares that were redeemed in connection with the business combination. The foregoing may make it more difficult and expensive for us to consummate an initial business combination.
 We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants, respectively. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.
 Our warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement, each between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the

 consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or shares (at a ratio different than initially provided), or shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.
 Our warrant agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.
 Our warrant agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such exclusive forum provision. Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in our warrant agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the warrant agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a "foreign action") in the name of any holder of our warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an "enforcement action"), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder's counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.
 This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our warrant agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.
 We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.
 We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the reported last sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period commencing 150 days following the closing of the business combination and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met, including, that we will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the measurement period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify such Ordinary Shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by us in our initial public offering. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you (i) to exercise your

 warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.
 Our warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination.
 We issued warrants to purchase 5,750,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, as part of the units offered in our initial public offering, including as a result of the full exercise of the over-allotment option. To the extent we issue Class A Ordinary Shares to effectuate a business combination, the potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the warrants could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business. Such securities, when converted, will increase the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our warrants may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent these warrants are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings.
 We may not be able to complete an initial business combination since such initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirement, including foreign investment regulations and review by government entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"), or may be ultimately prohibited.
 Our initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements by governmental entities, or ultimately prohibited. For example, CFIUS has authority to review direct or indirect foreign investments in U.S. companies. Among other things, CFIUS is empowered to require certain foreign investors to make mandatory filings, to charge filing fees related to such filings, and to self-initiate national security reviews of foreign direct and indirect investments in U.S. companies if the parties to that investment choose not to file voluntarily. In the case that CFIUS determines an investment to be a threat to national security, CFIUS has the power to unwind or place restrictions on the investment. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on — among other factors — the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in "control" of a U.S. business by a foreign person always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. CFIUS's expanded jurisdiction under the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 and implementing regulations that became effective on February 13, 2020 further includes investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to "critical technologies," "critical infrastructure" and/or "sensitive personal data."
 Our sponsor, Alchemy Deeptech Capital LLC is controlled by non-U.S. persons. Our sponsor owns approximately 22.8% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. For so long as our sponsor retains a material ownership interest in us, and/or control rights with respect to us, we may be deemed a "foreign person" under the regulations relating to CFIUS. As such, an initial business combination with a U.S. business or foreign business with U.S. subsidiaries that we may wish to pursue may be subject to CFIUS review. If a particular proposed initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS's jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit to CFIUS review on a voluntary basis, or to proceed with the transaction without submitting to CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the transaction. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our proposed initial business combination, impose conditions with respect to such initial business combination or request the President of the United States to order us to divest all or a portion of the U.S. target business of our initial business combination that we acquired without first obtaining CFIUS approval, which may limit the attractiveness of, delay or prevent us from pursuing certain target companies that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. In addition, certain federally licensed businesses may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership.
 The process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the applicable time period required under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, including as a result of extended regulatory review of a potential initial

 business combination, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from an investment in a target company and the appreciation in value of such investment. Additionally, our warrants will be worthless.
 We may not seek an opinion from an unaffiliated third party as to the fair market value of the target business we acquire.
 We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the target business we select has a fair market value in excess of at least 80% of the balance of the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) unless our board of directors cannot make such determination on its own. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we are paying is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view unless the target is affiliated with our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates. If no opinion is obtained, our shareholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, whose collective experience in business evaluations for blank check companies like ours is not significant. Furthermore, our directors may have a conflict of interest in analyzing the transaction due to their personal and financial interests.
 We may acquire a target business that is affiliated with our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates.
 While we do not currently intend to pursue an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates, we are not prohibited from pursuing such a transaction, nor are we prohibited from consummating a business combination where any of our officers, directors, sponsor or their affiliates acquire a minority interest in the target business alongside our acquisition, provided in each case we or a committee of our independent and disinterested directors, obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or from an independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that the business combination is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view. These affiliations could cause our officers or directors to have a conflict of interest in analyzing such transactions due to their personal and financial interests.
 A provision of our warrant agreement may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
 Unlike most blank check companies, if for capital raising purposes related to the closing of an initial business combination:

 we issue equity or equity-linked securities at an issue price or with an exercise or conversion price, of less than $10.00 per Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) (such price the "minimum issue price"); or

 the target entity of our initial business combination issues equity or equity-linked securities which, following the closing of the business combination, entitles the holder to receive equity or equity-linked securities of the combined company at an issue price or with an exercise or conversion price of less than the minimum issue price; or

 we, the sponsor or the target entity of our initial business combination, directly or indirectly, enters into an arrangement to transfer to any third-party investor securities, cash or other property to effectively reduce the issue price, or exercise price or conversion price, as applicable, to a price less than the minimum issue price the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (x) the volume weighted average reported last sale price of the shares of the combined company on the principal market on which the shares are then traded during the measurement period of 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days commencing 150 days following the closing of the business combination and (y) $3.00; provided, however, that in no case may the adjusted warrant exercise price be greater than $11.50. In addition, in the event the exercise price of the warrants is adjusted as provided above, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under "Redemption of warrants" will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the adjusted warrant exercise price plus $6.50. This may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.

 An investment in our securities may result in uncertain or adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
 An investment in our securities may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. For instance, because there are no authorities that directly address instruments similar to the units, the allocation an investor makes with respect to the purchase price of a unit between the Class A Ordinary Shares and the one-half of a warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share included in each unit could be challenged by the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or courts. Furthermore, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of warrants included in the units is unclear under current law. Finally, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares suspend the running of a U.S. holder's holding period for purposes of determining whether any gain or loss realized by such holder on the sale or exchange of Class A Ordinary Shares is long-term capital gain or loss and for determining whether any dividend we pay would be considered "qualified dividends" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these and other tax consequences when purchasing, holding or disposing of our securities.
 Risks Related to Being Deemed an Investment Company
 If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete the Proposed Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company.
 There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") and we may in the future be subject to a claim that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete the Proposed Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.
 The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate.
 We may be a passive foreign investment company, or "PFIC," which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.
 If we are a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares or warrants, the U.S. holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Our PFIC status for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend upon the status of an acquired company pursuant to a business combination and whether we qualify for the PFIC start-up exception. Depending on the particular circumstances, the application of the start-up exception may be subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that we will qualify for the start-up exception. In addition, our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement ("Annual Information Statement"), in order to enable the U.S. holder to make and maintain a "qualified electing fund" election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information, and such election would be unavailable with respect to our warrants in all cases. We urge U.S. investors to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.
 We may reincorporate in another jurisdiction in connection with our initial business combination and such reincorporation may result in taxes imposed on shareholders.
 We may, in connection with our initial business combination and subject to requisite shareholder approval under the Companies Law, reincorporate in the jurisdiction in which the target company or business is located or in another jurisdiction. The transaction may require a shareholder or warrant holder to recognize taxable income in the jurisdiction in which the shareholder or warrant holder is a tax resident or in which its members are resident if it is a tax transparent entity. We do not intend to make any cash

 distributions to shareholders or warrant holders to pay such taxes. Shareholders or warrant holders may be subject to withholding taxes or other taxes with respect to their ownership of us after the reincorporation.
 A market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.
 The price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
 Provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Class A Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.
 Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preference shares, which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
 Regarding a Cayman Islands company such as us, when a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer is made within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.
 Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through other means to these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, through contractual arrangements, of an operating business.
 As we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.
 We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.
 Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States.
 The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.
 We have been advised by Harney Westwood & Riegels, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and

 enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
 As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.
 We may effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States and if we do, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our business operations and financial results.
 If we consummate a business combination with a target business located outside of the United States, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target business' governing jurisdiction, including any of the following:

 rules and regulations or currency redemption or corporate withholding taxes on individuals;

 tariffs and trade barriers;

 regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

 longer payment cycles than in the United States;

 inflation;

 economic policies and market conditions;

 unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 challenges in managing and staffing international operations;

 tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;

 currency fluctuations;

 challenges in collecting accounts receivable;

 cultural and language differences;

 protection of intellectual property; and

 employment regulations.

 We cannot assure you that we would be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer.

 If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
 If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws of the country in which such company operates will govern almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Additionally, if we acquire a company located outside of the United States, it is likely that substantially all of our assets would be located outside of the United States and some of our officers and directors might reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.
 Because we must furnish our shareholders with financial statements of the target business prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") or international financial reporting standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or reconciled to U.S. GAAP, we may not be able to complete an initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.
 We will be required to provide historical and pro forma financial statement disclosure relating to our target business to our shareholders. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, U.S. GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"). The financial statements may also be required to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the Form 8-K announcing the closing of an initial business combination, which would need to be filed within four business days after closing. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire.
 Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require substantial financial and management resources and may increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.
 Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.
 We are an "emerging growth company" and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.
 We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years. However, if our non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period exceeds $1 billion, or the market value of our Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, or if we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion in any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, we are not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and we are exempt from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Additionally, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We cannot

 predict if investors will find our shares less attractive because we may rely on these provisions. If some investors find our shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile.
 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, as an emerging growth company, will not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private companies are required to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements 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 accountant standards used.
 If our management following a business combination is unfamiliar with United States securities laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws which could lead to various regulatory issues.
 Following a business combination, our management will likely resign from their positions as officers of the company and the management of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place. We cannot assure you that management of the target business will be familiar with United States securities laws. If new management is unfamiliar with our laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely affect our operations.
 Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.
 If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable for a fine of $18,292.68 and imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.
 The provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that relate to the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be amended with the approval of a special resolution which requires the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of our Ordinary Shares who attend and vote at a shareholder meeting of the company, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to facilitate the completion of an initial business combination that some of our shareholders may not support.
 Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that any of its provisions related to the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to public shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, meaning holders of at least two-thirds of our Ordinary Shares who attend and vote at a shareholder meeting of the company, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account may be amended if approved by holders of at least a majority of our Ordinary Shares. Our sponsor, directors, officers and their permitted transferees, if any, who collectively beneficially own, on an as-converted basis, 22.8% of our Class A Ordinary Shares, will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which govern

 our pre-business combination behavior more easily than some other blank check companies, and this may increase our ability to complete a business combination with which you do not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
 Our sponsor, executive officers, advisors and directors, as applicable, have agreed, pursuant to agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to the shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, this agreement and, as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our sponsor, executive officers, advisors or directors, as applicable, for any breach of this agreement. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.
 Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 None
 Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
 We are a special purpose acquisition company with no business operations. Since our initial public offering, our sole business activity has been identifying and evaluation suitable targets for an initial business combination. Therefore, we do not consider that we face significant cybersecurity risk and have not adopted any cybersecurity risk management program or formal processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our board of directors is ultimately responsible for overseeing the risk management activities in general and, as deemed necessary by our management team, will be informed of any cybersecurity threats or risks that may arise. In fiscal year 2024, we did not identify any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy and results of operations.

 Item 2. PROPERTIES
 We maintain our principal executive office at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204-F, Newark, DE 19711. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
 Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 To the knowledge of management, there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

 Market Information
 Our units, Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants are each traded on Nasdaq under the symbols "ALCYU," "ALCY" and "ALCYW," respectively. Our units commenced public trading on May 5, 2023. Our Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants began separate trading on June 26, 2023.
 Holders
 On March 28, 2024, there was one holder of record for our units, three holders of record for our Class A Ordinary Shares, one holder of record of our Class B Ordinary Shares and one holder of record of our warrants. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.
 Dividends
 We have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

 Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Offerings
 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 On December 6, 2021, the sponsor acquired 4,312,500 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 (or approximately $0.01 per share) which was settled by paying for certain expenses on behalf of the company. On October 26, 2022, 287,500 founder shares were surrendered by our sponsor for no consideration. These shares were then cancelled by the company resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares outstanding from 4,312,500 shares to 4,025,000 shares. On February 7, 2023, 1,150,000 founder shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the company resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares outstanding from 4,025,000 shares to 2,875,000 shares. Upon cancellation, 375,000 founder shares were subjected to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by our underwriter. All share amounts and related information have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrenders and cancellations. On May 5, 2023, the full over-allotment option was exercised, and therefore, the 375,000 founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
 Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, on May 9, 2023, we consummated the sale of and issued 538,000 and 57,500 placement shares to the sponsor and the representative, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5,955,000.
 On October 22, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of its Class A Ordinary Shares, to the sponsor, and the holder of the Company's Class B ordinary shares, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B Ordinary Shares (the "Conversion"). The 2,874,999 Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of

 redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering.
 These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
 No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.
 Use of Proceeds
 In connection with the initial public offering, we incurred offering costs of $9,088,588 (including deferred underwriting commissions of $5,175,000). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the initial public offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial business combination, if consummated) and the initial public offering expenses, $116,725,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares were placed in the trust account.
 There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares as is described in the company's final prospectus related to the initial public offering.
 Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 Overview
 We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 27, 2021 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the sale of the private placement shares, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.
 Results of Operations
 We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities through December 31, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering ("IPO") described below and, subsequent to the IPO, our only activities have been seeking a target business with which to complete a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account after the initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a business combination.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $4,247,564, which consisted of loss of approximately $1,192,408 derived from general and administrative expenses, offset by interest and dividends earned on marketable securities and interest expense of approximately $5,439,972.
 Liquidity and Going Concern
 On May 9, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
 Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of and issued 538,000 and 57,500 private placement shares to Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC (the "Sponsor") and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the "Underwriter"), respectively (together, the "Private Placement Shares") at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5,955,000.
 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 9, 2023, an amount of $116,725,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account").
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $181,174 in cash and cash equivalents held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,583,237.
 The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the Company's financing and acquisition plans. The Company anticipates that the cash held outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024 will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued, and therefore substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists. Management plans to address this uncertainty with the successful closing of a Business Combination. The Company had until November 9, 2024 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination was not consummated by November 9, 2024, there would have been a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company is in the process of identifying a potential company for an initial Business Combination but requires additional time. A general meeting was scheduled to vote upon a proposal to the Articles of Association of the Company to extend from November 9, 2024 (the "Current Termination Date") for an additional three months until February 9, 2025, and thereafter on a month-to-month basis, as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, until September 9, 2025 (the "Extended Date") – the date by which, if the Company has not consummated its initial Business Combination, the Company must liquidate and dissolve. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to

 consummate any Business Combination by the Extended Date. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.
 Contractual Obligations
 At December 31, 2024 we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations.
 There are $5,175,000 of deferred underwriting fees upon the completion of the Company's business combination.
 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 Recent Accounting Standards
 In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt— Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.
 In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which provides for additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements and disclosures.
 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 to have any significant impact on the disclosures in our financial statements.
 Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 JOBS Act
 The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
 Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404,(ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
 Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our "Certifying Officers"), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, pursuant to Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 This Report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any " non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as such term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Prior to that she served as a Partner at Seaport Securities Corporation from 1987 to 2000. Ms. Zoldan holds Series 4, 7, 8, 14, 24, 55, and 63 FINRA Registrations. She is licensed as a registered representative with Seaport Securities Corporation, which is a registered securities broker/dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation, or SIPC.

Ms. Zoldan received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from CUNY-Baruch College in New York in 1992.
 We believe Ms. Zoldan's over 30 years of management experience and expertise in financial regulation makes her well-qualified to sit on our board of directors.
 Pablo Terpolilli has been our independent director since November 19, 2021. Mr. Terpolilli is currently the founder and CEO of vabble Ltd., a startup that is building a neo-bank platform to help emerging market companies connect with institutional investors since 2021. Additionally, Mr. Terpolilli has been the founder and an executive of PACT-AM, an advisory and independent sponsor that is active in Europe and the Americas since 2019. Mr. Terpolilli has held various banking roles and has served in senior management roles at various industrial companies. In 2020, he co-headed the rollout of alternative investments for Santander Bank International, a major private bank based in Geneva, Switzerland. Between June 2017 and December 2018, Mr. Terpolilli led the private financing for the Western Hemisphere-Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the Americas at Standard Chartered Bank Plc. Mr. Terpolilli has also served on the board of directors of Valuable Insights since 2015. Since 2015, Mr. Terpolilli has held various advisory and consulting positions as well. From 2013 to 2014, he was the head of the corporate finance group at The Klesch Group, a large family-office-owned industrial conglomerate that operates in oil refining, shipping, commodities trading, petrochemicals and metals. In 2009, he joined UBS where he worked with the Special Situations Financing group until 2012. From 2004 to 2009, Mr. Terpolilli served in various banking roles in leveraged finance and distressed trading at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in both London and New York. In 1998, Mr. Terpolilli joined the high yield division of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, an investment bank, in New York. Mr. Terpolilli received an MBA from Babson College in 1998, where he graduated magna cum laude, a JD from University of Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1995 and an undergraduate research degree in International Trade and Economics from Argentine University of Enterprise in 1991.

 We believe Mr. Terpolilli's business experience and experience in deal execution and multi-industry banking makes him well-qualified to sit on our board of directors.
 Carlo Tursi serves as an independent member of our board of directors. Mr. Tursi is currently the Chief Executive Officer of UrbanV, a company based in Italy with a mission to bring air mobility in urban centers and beyond through designing, building and managing vertiports — the ground infrastructure to enable electric vertical takeoff and landing. Prior to his role with UrbanV, Mr. Tursi served as the Chief Executive Officer of TIM Ventures, an Italian corporate venture capital firm owned by the Italian telecommunications company Telecom Italia, from 2020 to 2021. Mr. Tursi also served as a director on the board of Satispay Italy, a thriving European payment solutions provider from March until October 2021. Prior to that, from 2014 to 2018 he served as the General Manager for Italy of Uber. Mr. Tursi was an Associate at Quantum Pacific, a London-based family office from 2013 to 2014, where he worked primarily in the automotive and energy sectors, while also contributing to the company's venture capital activities. He also worked from 2006 to 2008 as an analyst at Kearney, where he began his career. Mr. Tursi received an MBA from MIT Sloan in 2010 and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering in 2005.
 We believe Mr. Tursi's extensive venture capital experience and expertise in mobility and technology makes him well-qualified to sit on our board of directors.
 Jinal Kumar Bipin Shah serves as Chief Executive Officer for Integral Associates Limited, a company that has provided accounting, financial reporting and tax services since December 26, 2016 to present. He has also served as a Chief executive officer of Integral Property Hub Limited since July 16, 2020 to present. Prior to that, he had been working in accounting practices in the UK, gaining exposure to various reporting and advisory services between August 2004 and December 2016. He holds a degree in Management accounting and Finance from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.
 We believe Mr. Jinal's extensive experience advising corporations on accounting, financial, and tax matters makes him well qualified to sit on our board of directors.
 Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
 We have seven directors.
 There is no requirement under the Companies Act for us to hold annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings to appoint directors. In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on the Nasdaq. We may not hold an annual general meeting to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors.
 Director Independence
 Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. We rely on the phase-in rules of Nasdaq with respect to this requirement. These phase-in rules require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within twelve months of the effectiveness of the registration statement used in connection with our initial public offering. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that each of Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli are considered an "independent director" as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
 Committees of the Board of Directors
 Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

 Audit Committee
 We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Debbie S. Zoldan serves as the chair of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that each member of the committee qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules.
 The audit committee is responsible for:

 meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

 monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

 verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

 inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

 pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

 appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

 determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

 establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

 monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our initial public offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of our initial public offering; and

 reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

 Nominating Committee
 We have established a nominating committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli, and Debbie S. Zoldan serves as chair of the nominating committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards, we are required to have a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli are independent.

 The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.
 The guidelines for selecting nominees, are specified in a charter that we have adopted, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

 should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

 should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

 should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

 The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person's candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
 Compensation Committee
 We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli, and Debbie S. Zoldan will serve as chair of the compensation committee.
 Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Debbie S. Zoldan, Carlo Tursi and Pablo Terpolilli are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

 reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our co-CEOs', Chief Financial Officer's and Chief Technical Officer's, evaluating our co-CEOs', Chief Financial Officer's and Chief Technical Officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our co-CEOs, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Technical Officer based on such evaluation;

 reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

 reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

 implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

 assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

 approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

 producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

 reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

 The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
 Code of Ethics
 We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
 Insider Trading Policy
 We have not adopted an insider trading policy.
 Conflicts of Interest
 Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

 duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

 duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

 directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

 duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

 duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

 duty to exercise independent judgment.

 In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.
 As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
 Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary and contractual duties to other entities. As a result, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, then, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, he or she will need to honor such fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, before we can pursue such opportunity. If these other entities decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing the same. However, we do not expect these duties to materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

 Our officers and directors have agreed to present to us all target business opportunities that have a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the funds in the trust account) prior to presenting them to any other entity, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations they may have. Additionally, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we renounce our interest in any business combination opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company and it is an opportunity that we are able to complete on a reasonable basis.
 Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:

 Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We have entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We have purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

 Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the trust account due to their ownership of public shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
 Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
 We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
 Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 Executive Officers and Director Compensation
 No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.
 Clawback Policy
 As required by the NASDAQ rules, our Board has adopted a clawback policy (the "Clawback Policy") permitting the Company to seek the recovery of incentive compensation received by any the Company's current and former executive officers (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market) and such other senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the Compensation Committee (collectively, the "Covered Executives") during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company's material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Compensation Committee. If the Compensation Committee cannot determine the amount of excess incentive compensation

 received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement. Because we do not anticipate paying any cash compensation to our prospective Covered Executives, we do not anticipate paying any incentive compensation which could become subject to clawback under the Clawback Policy.
 Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
 The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of March 28, 2024 by:

 each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares;

 each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and

 all our executive officers and director as a group.

 The following table is based on 4,532,463 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024, of which 3,412,999 were Class A Ordinary Shares and 1 were Class B Ordinary Shares. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of our Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them.

 (1)
 Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of our shareholders is 1 Via San Raffaele, 20121 Milano MI, Italy.

 (2)
 Interests shown consist solely of founder shares, classified as Class B Ordinary Shares. Such shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof.

 (3)
 The shares reported above are held in the name of our sponsor, Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its registered address at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19808. Our sponsor is controlled by VAM Partners LLC, which is governed by a four-member board of directors which acts by majority vote. Accordingly, no individual director of VAM Partners LLC exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by our sponsor, including those in which such director has a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of the directors will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of securities held by our sponsor.

 The sponsor has agreed (A) to vote any shares owned by it in favor of any proposed initial business combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination.
 Our sponsor, executive officers and directors are deemed to be our "promoters" as such term is defined under the federal securities laws.

 Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Placement Shares
 The founder shares and placement shares are each subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in a letter agreement with us that was entered into by our sponsor, officers and directors and the purchase agreement that was entered into with Cantor. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the founder shares (or Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof), until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transfer after our initial business combination that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the founder shares (or Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) will be released from the lock-up if, subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) the reported last sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a transaction after our initial business combination which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. In the case of the placement share until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, except in each case (a) to our officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of our officers or directors, any members or partners of our sponsor, or any affiliates of such members of funds and accounts advised by such members, any affiliates of our sponsor, or to any affiliates of Cantor (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the members of the individual's immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual's immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) by pro rata distribution from the sponsor to its members, partners, or stockholders pursuant to the Sponsor's operating agreement; (g) by virtue of our sponsor's or Cantor's organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of our sponsor or Cantor (as applicable); (h) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination; (i) in the event of our liquidation prior to the completion of our initial business combination; or (j) in the event of our liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (g) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in the letter agreements and by the same agreements entered into by our sponsor with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the trust account and liquidating distributions described elsewhere in this Report).
 Registration Rights
 The holders of the founder shares, the placement shares and the shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, and Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the founder shares, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement executed on the effective date of our initial public offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering our securities. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cantor may not exercise their demand and "piggy-back" registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with our initial public offering and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.

 Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 On December 6, 2021, our sponsor acquired an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares for a total consideration of $50,000, or approximately $0.0116 per share. On October 26, 2022, 287,500 founder shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares outstanding from 4,312,500 shares to 4,025,000 shares. On February 7, 2023, 1,150,000 founder shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares outstanding from 4,025,000 shares to 2,875,000 shares. Up to 375,000 founder shares held by our sponsor were subject to forfeiture by our sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option was exercised. On May 5, 2023, the full over-allotment option was exercised, and therefore, the 375,000 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The founder shares (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.
 Our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 538,000 placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,380,000. Cantor has also purchased an aggregate of 57,500 placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $575,000. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the founder shares and placement shares, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering.
 Commencing on the date our securities are first listed on Nasdaq, we pay Alchemy Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
 No compensation of any kind, including any finder's fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to our sponsor, officers or directors or any affiliate of our sponsor, officers or directors prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of an initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).
 However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and determines which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
 Prior to the closing of our initial public offering, Alchemy Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, agreed to loan us up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of our initial public offering. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of June 30, 2023 or the closing of our initial public offering. The loan was repaid upon the closing of our initial public offering out of the offering proceeds that has been allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions).
 In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest bearing basis as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into shares of the post-business combination entity, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination. The shares would be identical to the placement shares. Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
 We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

 After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
 The holders of the founder shares, placement shares, and shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of our initial public offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have "piggy-back" registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cantor may not exercise their demand and "piggy-back" registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with our initial public offering and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.
 We entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our memorandum and articles of association. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also permits us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Cayman Islands law would permit such indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
 Related Party Policy
 We have adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company.
 In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we have adopted, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors' and officers' questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
 These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
 To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder's fees, reimbursements, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation will be paid by us to our sponsor, officers or directors or any affiliate of our sponsor, officers or directors prior to, for services rendered to us prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, the following payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:

 Payment to Alchemy Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for secretarial and administrative support services;

 Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination; and

 Repayment of non-interest bearing loans which may be made by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the terms of which (other than as described above) have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 shares if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted), at the option of the lender. Such shares would be identical to the placement shares. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

 Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
 Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum LLP ("Marcum"), for services rendered.
 Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Marcum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the quarterly financial information totaled $134,312 as of December 31, 2024 ($163,713 for the year ended December 31, 2023).
 Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not incur any audit-related fees payable to Marcum,
 Tax Fees. We did not pay Marcum for tax fees for the year ended December 31, 2024.
 All Other Fees. We did not pay Marcum for any other services for the year ended December 31, 2024.
 Pre-Approval Policy
 Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our initial public offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

 INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB # 688)

 Financial Statements:

 Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

 Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

 Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) for the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

 Notes to Financial Statements

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
 Alchemy Investments Acquisition Corp 1
 Opinion on the Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alchemy Investments Acquisition Corp 1 (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' (deficit) equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation that was formed for the purpose of completing a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities on or before September 9, 2025. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary approvals or raise the additional capital it needs to fund its business operations and complete any business combination prior to September 9, 2025, if at all. The Company also has no approved plan in place to extend the business combination deadline beyond September 9, 2025 and lacks the capital resources needed to fund operations and complete any business combination, even if the deadline to complete a business combination is extended to a later date. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 Basis for Opinion
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 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. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2021.

 On February 7, 2023, 1,150,000 Founder Shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Founder Shares outstanding from 4,025,000 shares to 2,875,000 shares. All share amounts and related information have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrenders and cancellations (see Note 5).

 (2)
 On October 22, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share to Sponsor, and the holder of the Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B Shares. The Class A Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 14,970,499 Class A Shares and one Class B Share issued and outstanding.

 (3)
 On November 7, 2024, 10,438,037 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed, leaving 4,532,462 Class A Shares, which includes the 2,874,999 Class A Shares that were issued in exchange for the Class B Shares on October 22, 2024, and one Class B Share. As a result, $ 114,357,720 (or $ 10.95 per share) was removed from the Company's trust account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company since that date. After the redemptions, $ 11,851,808 remains in the Company's trust account.

 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
 Alchemy Investments Acquisition Corp 1 (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on October 27, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from October 27, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to the Company's formation and initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering"), and subsequent pursuit of a target company to affect a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
 The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 4, 2023. On May 9, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $ 115,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
 Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of and issued 538,000 and 57,500 private placement shares to Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC (the "Sponsor") and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the "Underwriter"), respectively (together, the "Private Placement Shares") at a price of $ 10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $ 5,955,000, which is described in Note 4. The Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Shares: (i) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) are entitled to registration rights.
 The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association") (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association prior thereto or to redeem 100 % of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iv) vote any Private Placement Shares held by them in favor of our initial Business Combination.
 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 9, 2023, an amount of $ 116,725,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account"), and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

 Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $ 9,088,588, consisting of $ 2,300,000 of cash underwriting fees, $ 5,175,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 1,613,588 of other offering costs. In addition, at December 31, 2024, $ 181,174 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.
 The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
 The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in Trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $ 10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares, will be held in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
 The Company provides the holders (the "Public Shareholders") of the Company's Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders are entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account, plus any investment income earned thereon (less taxes payable). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the Underwriter (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association"), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they were a public shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

 On May 4, 2023, and in connection with the IPO, the Company adopted an Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The Sponsor has agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (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 a Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
 If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the "Combination Period") and the Company's shareholders have not further amended the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend such Combination Period (the "Extension Period"), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including investment income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Cayman law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period.
 The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period. However, the Sponsor is entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period. The Underwriter has agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than $ 10.15. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company's independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a "Target"), or any claim by a taxing authority, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $ 10.15 per Public Share or (ii) the lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company's indemnity of the Underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 Going Concern and Liquidity
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 181,174 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $ 1,583,237.
 The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the Company's financing and acquisition plans. The Company anticipates that the cash held outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024 will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued, and therefore substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists. Management plans to address this uncertainty with the successful closing of a Business Combination. The Company had until November 9, 2024 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination was not consummated by November 9, 2024, there would be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company is in the process of identifying a potential company for an initial Business Combination but requires additional time. An Annual Meeting was held on October 31, 2024 and the shareholders of the Company approved amending the Company's Articles of Association as a special resolution, giving the Company the right to extend from November 9, 2024 (the "Current Termination Date") for an additional three months until February 9, 2025, and thereafter on a month-to-month basis, as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, until September 9, 2025 (the "Extended Date") – the date by which, if the Company has not consummated its initial Business Combination, the Company must liquidate and dissolve. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the Extended Date. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 On November 5, 2024, the Company made a deposit for $ 90,000 into the trust account as required for extension until February 9, 2025. The Company will then deposit $ 30,000 monthly thereafter until September 9, 2025.
 Risks and Uncertainties
 As a result of the military action by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip, the Company's ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company's ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of Presentation
 The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 statements 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.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 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. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash equivalents included $ 181,174 and $ 309,742, respectively, for amounts invested in a treasury liquidity fund.
 Investments Held in Trust Account
 As of December 31, 2024 the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which were invested in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company's investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Such trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in Gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. The Company had $ 11,851,808 and $ 120,664,565 in investments held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
 Prepaid expenses
 Prepaid expenses - current of $ 65,446 and $ 183,672, and prepaid expenses - non-current of $ 0 and $ 57,726 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively consist primarily of premiums for directors and officers' liability insurance. These premiums will be amortized over the 2-year term of the agreement.

 Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
 The Company's Class A Ordinary Shares that were sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company's initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Class A Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital, if any, and accumulated deficit.
 On November 7, 2024, 10,438,037 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed, leaving 4,532,462 Class A Shares, which includes the 2,874,999 Class A Shares that were issued in exchange for the Class B Shares on October 22, 2024, and one Class B Share. As a result, $ 114,357,720 (or $ 10.95 per share) was removed from the Company's trust account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company since that date. After the redemptions, $ 11,851,808 remains in the Company's trust account.
 As of December 31, 2024, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

 Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering and Sale of Private Placement Shares
 The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $ 9,088,588, consisting of $ 2,300,000 of cash underwriting fees, $ 5,175,000 of

 deferred underwriting fees and $ 1,613,588 of other offering costs. As such, the Company recorded $ 8,982,094 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity and $ 106,494 of offering costs as a reduction of permanent equity.
 Income Taxes
 The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which 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's management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company's major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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, Italy or the United States. As such, the Company's tax provision was zero for the period presented. The Company's management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
 Net Income Per Ordinary Share
 The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for redeemable Class A ordinary shares, non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events; and consequently, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the periods presented.
 The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

 Concentration of Credit Risk
 Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.
 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.

 Derivative Financial Instruments
 The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 Warrants
 The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
 For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

 The Public and Private Warrants are not precluded from equity classification and have been accounted for as such since the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter as long as they continue to meet the requirements for equity classification.
 Recent Accounting Standards
 In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt— Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.
 In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which provides for additional disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements and disclosures.
 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 to have any significant impact on the disclosures in our financial statements.
 Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 4, 2023. On May 9, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $ 115,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one -half of one redeemable warrant ("Public Warrant"). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per whole share (see Note 7).

 NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 538,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $ 10.00 per share in a private placement to the Sponsor, including 45,000 Private Placement Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $ 5,380,000. In addition, the underwriter also purchased an aggregate of 57,500 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds of $ 575,000. In aggregate, a total of 595,500 Private Placement Shares were purchased in the private placement at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Shares will likely be worthless.
 Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Shares: (i) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) are entitled to registration rights.
 The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association prior thereto or to redeem 100 % of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Private Placement Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iv) vote any Private Placement Shares held by them in favor of our initial Business Combination.
 NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 Founder Shares
 On December 6, 2021, the Sponsor acquired 4,312,500 founder shares (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $ 50,000 (or approximately $ 0.01 per share) which was settled by paying for certain expenses on behalf of the Company. This $ 50,000 was paid by Deeptech Early Investors LLC on behalf of the Sponsor. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $ 50,000 by the Sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, "Founder Shares" shall be deemed to include the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The per share purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the aggregate number of Founder Shares issued. Upon issuance, there were 562,500 Founder Shares subjected to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by our underwriter. In connection with the December 6, 2021 issuance, the Company repurchased and cancelled the 4,312,500 Founder Shares previously issued to a related party for a purchase price of $ 25,000.
 On October 26, 2022, 287,500 Founder Shares were surrendered by our Sponsor for no consideration. These shares were then cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Founder Shares outstanding from 4,312,500 shares to 4,025,000 shares. On February 7, 2023, 1,150,000 founder shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares outstanding from 4,025,000 shares to 2,875,000 shares. Upon cancellation, 375,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by our underwriter. All share amounts and related information have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrenders and cancellations. On May 9, 2023, the full over-allotment option was exercised, and therefore, the 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares at any time at the option of the holders thereof or on the first business day following the completion of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such that the number of shares of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20.0 % of the sum of (i) the total number of shares of the Public Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the sum of (a) the total number of shares of the Company's ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or deemed issued by the Company in connection with or in relation to the completion of the initial Business Combination, excluding (1) any shares of the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and (2) any shares issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans, minus (b) the number of Public Shares redeemed by Public Shareholders in connection with the initial Business Combination.
 (2) On October 22, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share to Sponsor, and the holder of the Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B Shares. The Class A Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 14,970,499 Class A Shares and one Class B Share issued and outstanding.
 Promissory Note - Related Party
 On June 24, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 530,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, as amended (the "Promissory Note"). This loan bears ten ( 10 %) percent interest per annum and is payable on the consummation of the Company's initial merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a "Business Combination"). If a Business Combination is not consummated, this Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Maker has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities, and that all other amounts will be contributed to capital, forfeited, eliminated, or otherwise forgiven or eliminated. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance under the Promissory Note was $ 530,000.
 On November 20, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company another $ 600,000 with the same loan terms as the June 24, 2024 promissory note. The funds were not deposited into the Company's bank account until January 2025.
 Administrative Support Agreement
 The Company entered into an agreement commencing on May 4, 2023 through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the Company's liquidation, to pay Alchemy Investment Management LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, a monthly fee of $ 10,000 for secretarial and administrative services. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $ 197,097 and $ 77,097 in accrued expenses for expenses incurred under this agreement, respectively.
 Working Capital Loans
 In addition, 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 ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender's discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post Business Combination

 entity at a price of $ 10.00 per share. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
 NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 Registration Rights
 The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and shares issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement executed upon May 4, 2023. These holders are entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
 Underwriting Agreement
 Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at an offering price of $ 10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $ 15,000,000.
 The Underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Unit, or $ 2,300,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $ 0.45 per unit, or $ 5,175,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the Underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
 Underwriter Shares
 Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters purchased 57,500 Class A ordinary shares ("Underwriter Shares"). The underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Underwriter Shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriters have agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Underwriter Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Underwriter Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months if the Company extends such period) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

 Underwriter's over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders will collectively own 20 % of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. On May 9, 2023, the Underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full, so those shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
 NOTE 8. WARRANTS
 Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of
 (a)
 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of the Company's failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60 th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act by the 60 th business day following the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

 (b)
 The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if for capital raising purposes related to the closing of an initial Business Combination: (i) the Company issues equity or equity-linked securities at an issue price or with an exercise or conversion price, of less than $ 10.00 per Class A Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) (such price the "Minimum Issue Price"); or (ii) the target entity (the "Target") issues equity or equity-linked securities which, following the closing of the initial Business Combination, entitles the holder to receive equity or equity-linked securities of the post-initial Business Combination company (the "Combined Company") at an issue price or with an exercise or conversion price of less than the Minimum Issue Price; or (iii) the Company, the Sponsor or the Target, directly or indirectly, enters into an arrangement to transfer to any third-party investor securities, cash or other property to effectively reduce the issue price, or exercise price or conversion price, as applicable, to a price less than the Minimum Issue Price; then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the greater of (x) the volume weighted average reported last sale price of the shares of the Combined Company on the principal market on which the shares are then traded during the measurement period of the 30 consecutive trading days commencing 150 days following the closing of the Business Combination (the "Measurement Period") and (y) $ 3.00 (such price, the "Adjusted Warrant Exercise Price"); provided, however, that in no case may the adjusted warrant exercise price be greater than $ 11.50. In addition, in the event the exercise price of the warrants is adjusted as provided above, the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to the Adjusted Warrant Exercise Price plus $ 6.50 (such adjusted redemption trigger price, the "New Redemption Trigger Price"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the adjustment above shall not take into account any issuance of shares of the Combined Company to the Sponsor or its affiliates pursuant to the conversion of Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor prior to our initial public offering. Any determination as to whether the conditions above have been met shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Combined Company based on the information known to the board of directors of the Combined Company at the time of the consummation of the initial Business Combination; the board of directors shall be entitled to rely on the information provided to it without further inquiry. Following the determination by the board of directors, the Combined Company shall provide prompt public notice of the Adjusted Warrant Exercise Price and the New Redemption Trigger Price when and as determined.

 Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

 in whole and not in part;

 at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;

 upon a minimum of 30 days ' prior written notice of redemption; and

 if, and only if the last reported sale price of Class A Ordinary Shares on each day of the Measurement Period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted).

 The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the Measurement Period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

 In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company's assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
 The Company accounts for the 5,750,000 Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,750,000 Public Warrants outstanding.

 NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
 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 for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
 The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") has been identified as the Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mattia Tomba, who reviews the operating results 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 operating segment. When evaluating the Company's performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

 The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are Gain on investments held in Trust Account and Operating and formation costs. The CODM reviews Gain on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Operating and formation costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews Operating and formation costs to manage, maintain, and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budgets.

 NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
