Risk Factors\n\nAs a smaller reporting company under Rule\n12b-2\nof the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in the Report. However, for detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) 2025 Annual Report and (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form\n10-Q\nfor the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on November 11, 2025, August 13, 2025 and May 13, 2025, respectively. As of the date of the Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors , other than as set forth below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.\n\nDelays in the government budget process or a government shutdown may materially adversely affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, or the operations of the post-closing company following our initial Business Combination.\n\nEach year, the U.S. Congress must pass all spending bills in the federal budget. If any such spending bill is not timely passed, a government shutdown will close many federally run operations, which includes those of the SEC, and halt work for federal employees unless they are considered essential. If a government shutdown occurs (which it has since October 1, 2025), and the SEC remains closed for a prolonged period of time, we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination, particularly if the SEC is unable to timely review our filings, or those of a target business or other entity that relate to our initial Business Combination, or to declare such filings effective to the extent required or as may be applicable. Additionally, following consummation of our initial Business Combination, the post-closing company’s operations or its ability to raise additional capital to support its operations could be materially adversely affected by any prolonged government shutdown."}
