Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “continue,” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering and in our other filings filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 3, 2021 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. 

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered the HD Group Agreement with HD Group. HD Group is headquartered in Anji County, China, and is a comprehensive service platform for students pursuing university education globally. The Agreement is intended to express a mutual indication of interest, and remains subject, in all respect, to the execution of definitive agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of HD Group is $300,000,000, which will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of newly issued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Purchaser at a price of $10.00 per share.

On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into the Bioserica Agreement with Bioserica. Bioserica is in the business of researching and developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of bio-based antimicrobial materials. The Agreement is intended to express a mutual indication of interest, reflects additional terms negotiated, and remains subject, in all respect, to the execution of definitive agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of Bioserica is $200,000,000, which will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of newly issued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Purchaser at a price of $10.00 per share.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 3, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2025 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare, and consummate, for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination.

We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We expect that we will 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 three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $413,202, which consisted of interest income of $647,080, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $233,878. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not incur any expenses, as such we had no net loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the closing of IPO were satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $350,000 (see Note 5). As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 8, 2024, on November 12, 2024, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,500,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share (“Public Share”) and one right (“Public Right”) to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 825,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Option”), if any. The underwriters notified their partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option on November 15, 2024, and closed the Over-Allotment Option on November 19, 2024. The total aggregate issuance by us of 6,000,000 units (which includes the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in a total gross proceeds of $60,000,000.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 8, 2024, on November 12, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, of 280,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,800,000. On November 19, 2024, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 5,000 private Units, generating gross proceeds of $50,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in this offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, and (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our sponsor until the completion of our initial business combination.

Following the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, including the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, a total of $60,000,000 was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Trust Account’), and the Company had $1,888,753 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. The Company incurred $1,600,217 in transaction costs, including $600,000 of underwriting fees, the fair value of the representative shares of $675,000, and $325,217 of other offering costs. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways and could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination or to indemnify any of our officers or directors as required by law if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses. Our liquidity needs have been satisfied prior to completion of the IPO through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares to our sponsor and up to $350,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note. On January 24, 2025, the Company repaid the Promissory Note in full. The Promissory Note was terminated after the repayment. As March 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under the promissory note with our Sponsor.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,119,610 of cash on hand and working capital of $982,030. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and consummate a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 $1,150,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to our sponsor. 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.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of the IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 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, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than described below.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, shares being issued to the underwriters of the IPO, and units that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriter may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the IPO and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, on the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the completion of the initial business combination that results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement units, including the component securities therein, until the completion of the initial business combination. Notwithstanding the above, the shares to be issued to the underwriters in the IPO will be further subject to the limitations on registration requirements imposed by FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement entered into on November 8, 2024, we have agreed and have issued to Maxim Partners LLC and/or its designees (“Maxim”), 247,500 Class A ordinary shares (or 284,625 Class A ordinary shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Representative Shares”) at the closing of the IPO. As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 15, 2024, an additional 22,500 Representative Shares were issued to the underwriter. Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such Representative Shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriter has agreed (and its permitted transferees will agree) (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The underwriter was paid $600,000 for the underwriting commissions (including for the partial exercise of over-allotment option). Additionally, the Company issued to the underwriter an aggregate of 270,000 Class A ordinary shares including 22,500 shares as a result of partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option at the closing of the IPO, for no consideration, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriter has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination.

The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their officers, partners, registered persons or affiliates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. In accordance with the SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the 6,000,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Company’s IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Units), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity has been allocated to the proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital) over an expected 12-month period, which is the initial period that the Company has to complete a Business Combination.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor.

Recent Accounting Standards

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 adopted this guidance on January 1, 2025 and there was no significant impact. 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025 and there was no significant impact.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring 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. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective 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.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 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.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As smaller reporting company we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for our IPO was declared effective on November 8, 2024. As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 8, 2024, on November 12, 2024, A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the IPO of 5,500,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Public Share”) and one right (“Public Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 8, 2024, on November 12, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, of 280,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,800,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in this offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, and (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our sponsor until the completion of our initial business combination.

On November 15, 2024, the underwriters notified the Company of its partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) occurred on November 19, 2024. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 500,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit generated total gross proceeds of $5,000,000. On November 19, 2024, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 5,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds of $50,000.

On November 19, 2024, an additional $5,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) consisting of the net proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, less the underwriters’ discount of $0.10 per Over-Allotment Option Unit ($50,000), and the gross proceeds from the sale of the additional private placement units ($50,000) was placed in the Trust Account, resulting in a total of $60,000,000 held in the Trust Account.

As of November 19, 2024, a total of $60,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds placed in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the private placement will not be released from the Trust Account the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below), subject to applicable law and as further described in the Prospectus. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

Total transaction costs amounted to $1,600,217 consisting of $600,000 of cash underwriting commissions which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units on November 12, 2024 and November 19, 2024, respectively, $675,000 fair value of the Representative Shares, and $325,217 of other offering costs.
