SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Nabors Energy Transition Corp. II (the “Company” or “NETD”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 12, 2023. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Liffey Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), which was formed on January 31, 2025.
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
On October 14, 2025, the Company, Merger Sub and e2Companies, LLC (“e2”) terminated the previously announced Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) and entered into a Settlement Agreement (as defined below) pursuant to which the Company is expected to receive settlement payments from e2 (as further discussed in Note 6 and Note 10).
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from April 12, 2023 (inception) through September 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues prior to the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest, and generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on permitted investments and cash from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Except as required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, 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 Sponsor, officers and directors will not be entitled to redemption distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to redemption distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have 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 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 only $
Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $
The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination by November 18, 2025, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up. The date for mandatory liquidation of winding up and the liquidity condition of the Company raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 18, 2025.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

NABORS ENERGY TRANSITION CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 of 2002, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has $

Cash and Marketable Securities in Trust Account
At September 30, 2025, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. At December 31, 2024, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. The Company’s marketable securities are presented at fair value on the balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company withdrew $
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the warrants were charged to equity. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
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 Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
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 or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.
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 Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

NABORS ENERGY TRANSITION CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
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”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets 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.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s winding up, 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 Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public 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 values of Public Shares classified as temporary equity are the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has three classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares, and Class F ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the three classes of shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, the three classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income of the Company. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering and (ii) the private placement, and any warrants issued in connection with the related party convertible promissory note, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the related party convertible promissory note is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase

Warrant Instruments
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 FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“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 and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
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 at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair values.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including share option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted shares, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expense is included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. 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.

The deferred underwriting discounts and commissions were to become payable to Citi from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Accordingly, the Company does not owe Citi deferred underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with the proposed Business Combination, as the Company did not engage Citi to perform, nor did Citi perform, any work on the proposed Business Combination. The Company expects to use the funds previously reserved for these deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to pay additional transaction expense.

Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Middle East and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Furthermore, there is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the United States and various other countries arising from changes that may be implemented by the new presidential administration, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Any actions taken by the United States’ federal government that restrict or could impact the economics of trade—including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures—could have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargos, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly. Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and subsequent sanctions or related actions, including the imposition of tariffs, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.
Termination of the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
On February 11, 2025, the Company, Merger Sub, and e2, entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
On October 14, 2025, the parties terminated the Business Combination Agreement and all ancillary agreements entered into in connection therewith were deemed terminated by mutual agreement as further discussed in Note 10.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company redeems the Public Shares with 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 respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
At September 30, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $

NOTE 9. 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 (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, 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
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the condensed statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholders value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. General and administrative expenses 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 general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income are reported on the condensed statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Notes are described in further detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 15, 2025.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from April 12, 2023 (inception) through September 30, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues prior to the completion of our initial business combination at the earliest. Following our Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on permitted investments from the proceeds derived from 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $2,288,322, which consists of operating costs of $3,825,776, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,537,454.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income of 940,982, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $8,282,080, offset by operating costs of $7,341,098.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $3,971,625, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $4,450,892, offset by operating costs of $479,267.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $11,340,536, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $12,345,276, offset by operating costs of $1,004,740.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class F ordinary shares by our sponsor and loans from our sponsor.

On July 18, 2023, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,500,000 units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 500,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $305,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 9,540,000 private placement warrants to the direct or indirect owners of our Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,540,000.
In addition, the direct or indirect owners of our sponsor loaned the Company a total of $3,050,000, and in exchange, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to each lender for an aggregate principal amount of $3,050,000, as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering at no interest, which is referred to as the overfunding loans. The overfunding loans will be repaid upon the closing of the initial business combination or converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant (or any combination thereof), at our sponsor’s discretion, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants. The overfunding loans were extended in order to ensure that the amount in the trust account was $10.10 per share at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. If the Company does not complete an initial business combination, the Company will not repay the overfunding loans from amounts held in the trust account, and the trust account proceeds will be distributed to the Company’s public shareholders, subject to the limitations; however, the Company may repay the overfunding loans if there are funds available outside the trust account to do so.
Following the Initial Public Offering, sale of the private placement warrants and the overfunding loans, a total of $308,050,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred transaction costs of $17,966,142 consisting of $6,100,000 of cash underwriting discount, $10,675,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,191,142 of other final offering costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $970,116. Net income of $940,982 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $8,282,080. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $6,370,982 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $264,250. Net income of $11,340,536 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $12,345,276. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $740,490 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash held in the trust account of $154,158,677 (including $8,282,080.36 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay taxes, if any.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $629,566. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to pay fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company since its formation.
In order to finance working capital deficit or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans. If the Company completes its initial business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.
The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
We have determined that mandatory liquidation for winding up, should a business combination not occur by November 18, 2025, and potential subsequent liquidation and dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
25
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, or operating lease obligations, other than an agreement to pay an aggregate of $15,000 per month to an affiliate of our sponsor for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $6,100,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $10,675,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. However, on February 10, 2025 and July 14, 2025, the Company received waiver letters from the underwriters for their portions of the deferred underwriting fee, accrued in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Therefore, there is no longer a deferred fee payable to the underwriters.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates:
Cash and marketable Securities in Trust Account
As of September 30, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills and cash. As of December 31, 2024, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. We account for marketable securities at fair value on the balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account amounts to $154,158,677 and $331,781,130, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate 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”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative 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. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and was accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480. On August 27, 2023, the remainder of the over-allotment option to purchase 4,000,000 Units expired and the over-allotment option liability, which was initially measured at fair value of $402,224, was derecognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
26
Warrant Instruments
We account 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 FASB 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 and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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 at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value. Fair value of public warrants at issuance amounted to $3,507,500.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Form on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. Other than as set forth below and in the Definitive Proxy, as amended and supplemented, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Form on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
The Company may not receive payment under the Settlement Agreement or the Notes by either maturity date or at all and the Company may not receive payment if it enters into an initial business combination.
Our receipt of the payment of the amounts due under the Settlement Agreement or under the Notes at the applicable maturity date will be dependent upon e2’s ability to pay its obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Notes on the applicable payment date. If e2 becomes unable to meet its respective financial obligations as they become due, we may not receive any or all of the amount(s) payable under the terms of the Settlement Agreement or the Notes. While the Notes will be secured, the security interests will not vest until obligations owed to a priority creditor are paid in full and actions to “perfect” the security interest may not be able to be taken until the security interest vests. Our status as a secured creditor may be impaired by virtue of this delay. Whether as a result of being unsecured or otherwise, in the event of a default under the Notes, we may not be able to (or it may be impractical to) foreclose on the collateral securing the Notes and/or the value of such collateral may be less than the amount owed under the Notes.
If, at the time of a Trigger Event (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), the Company has entered into a definitive agreement for an initial business combination, but such initial business combination has not yet been consummated, then any Trigger Event Payment (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) shall instead be deposited by e2 into an escrow account. If such definitive agreement for an initial business combination is terminated, the Trigger Event Payment will be released to the Company, and if such initial business combination is consummated, the Trigger Event Payment will be released to e2.
The Notes will be secured by the equity interests of Mission Critical e2 LLC and Mission Critical e2 Limited (“Mission Critical”) (but, in each case, only upon repayment in full of a priority creditor), and such collateral is subject to a variety of risks associated with the Energy Services Agreement by and between Mission Critical and Herbata, some of which are outside of our control.
Herbata Limited, an Irish land development company (“Herbata”), is party to that certain Put and Call Option Agreement by and among Herbata, Mission Critical, Moffett Investment Holdings Unlimited Company and the shareholders of Herbata party thereto, dated April 9, 2024, pursuant to which (i) within the period starting on the date on which Herbata receives the final grant of applicable planning permission by the relevant authority for construction, development, and operation of the Herbata Project (the “Planning Permissions”) and ending on the six month anniversary of the date of the receipt of such Planning Permissions, Herbata has the option to require e2, through Mission Critical, to purchase the entire issued share capital of Herbata and the data center campus in Kildare County, Ireland on a three-hectare site which will include six two-story data center buildings at Jigginstown, Halverstown, and Newhall, Naas, adjacent to the M7 Business Park (the “Herbata Project”) that Herbata is developing (the “Put Option”) and (ii) provided that the Put Option is not exercised at the time, until the expiration of the six month anniversary of the date of the receipt of such Planning Permissions, e2 may purchase the entire issued share capital of Herbata and the Herbata Project site, together with all related Planning Permissions.
Additionally, we are subject to other risks, including:
| ● | Herbata’s financial conditions and creditworthiness; |
| ● | Herbata’s ability to complete its project on projected timeline and within forecasted budget; |
| ● | risks and delays associated with Herbata obtaining requisite permits and approvals; and |
| ● | ability to obtain financing for Herbata’s project on attractive terms or at all. |
28
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete an initial business combination.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including,
| ● | restrictions on the nature of our investments; and |
| ● | restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete an initial business combination. |
In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
| ● | registration as an investment company; |
| ● | adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and |
| ● | reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations. |
In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not intend to spend a considerable amount of time actively managing the assets in the Trust Account for the primary purpose of achieving investment returns. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.
We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the Company intends to only hold the proceeds in the Trust Account and any payments under the Settlement Agreement and Notes as cash or cash equivalents but may decide to invest them in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations in the future. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at winding up (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The IPO was not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.
In the adopting release for the final rules which became effective on July 1, 2024, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company” depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis. If we were deemed to be subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. Unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register as an investment company or wind down and abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination.
Potential new trade policies, such as tariffs, could adversely affect our search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.
There is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the United States and various other countries arising from changes that may be implemented by the new presidential administration, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Any actions taken by the United States’ federal government that restrict or could impact the economics of trade—including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures—could have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargos, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly. These developments, or the perception that more of them could occur, may materially adversely affect the global economy and stability of global financial markets, potentially reducing trade and depressing economic activity. Such changes in international trade policies may adversely affect our search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination, which could adversely affect our financial condition. The extent of such impacts cannot be predicted at this time.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Nabors Lux deposited $250,000 into the Trust Account on July 17, 2025, August 15, 2025, September 17, 2025 and October 17, 2025 in connection with the Monthly Extension Option and in exchange, we issued unsecured promissory notes to Nabors Lux for an aggregate of $1.0 million. The Extension note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the liquidation of the Company on or before November 19, 2025, unless such date is extended pursuant to the Company’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or such later liquidation date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Board. If the Company consummates an initial business combination, it will repay the loan out of the proceeds of the Trust Account or, at the option of the Sponsor, convert all or a portion of the loan into warrants for $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Company will repay the loan only from funds held outside of the Trust Account.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
None.
