• Going Concern Warning Reiterated

  Management has determined that liquidity issues and mandatory liquidation by June 24, 2026, if a business combination is not completed, raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This follows a similar disclosure in the 10-K on March 30, 2026.

• Ineffective Disclosure Controls

  The principal executive and financial officers concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026. This echoes the disclosure in the 10-K/A filed on May 11, 2026, indicating ongoing internal control weaknesses.

• Looming Business Combination Deadline

  The company has until June 24, 2026, to complete an initial business combination. Failure to do so will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution, and liquidation, highlighting the urgent need for a deal or an extension, as signaled by the PRE 14A on May 1, 2026.

• Increased Reliance on Sponsor Funding

  The company's cash balance is low at $24,630, with a working capital deficit of $785,769. An additional $300,000 was borrowed from the Sponsor via a promissory note, increasing the outstanding amount to $500,000, underscoring the reliance on related-party financing to cover operational expenses.
