About Hadron Energy, Inc.
Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed March 6, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.
Item 1. Business.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on May 8, 2024, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. GigCapital7 has neither engaged in any operations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (such transactions, the “Transactions”) nor generated any operating revenues to date.
Our efforts to identify a prospective target business have not been limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although we focused on companies in the technology, media, and telecommunications (“TMT”), artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI/ML”), cybersecurity, medical technology and medical equipment (“MedTech”), semiconductor and sustainable industries. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our common equity or any preferred equity that we may create in accordance with the terms of our charter documents, debt, or a combination of cash, common or preferred equity and debt.
We seek to capitalize on the significant experience and contacts of our management team to complete our initial business combination. We believe our management team’s distinctive background and record of acquisition and operational success could have a transformative impact on verified target businesses.

Formation and Initial Public Offering
At the formation of GigCapital7 on May 8, 2024, the Sponsor acquired one Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of GigCapital7 (each, a “Class B ordinary share” and together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.0001. Subsequently on May 31, 2024, the Sponsor purchased 16,999,999 Class B ordinary shares from us for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, or $0.00588235 per share. Following the May 31, 2024 purchase, the Sponsor surrendered 300,000 Class B ordinary shares to GigCapital7 for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor holding 16,700,000 Class B ordinary shares. On June 6, 2024, GigCapital7 issued 300,000 Class B ordinary shares to a consultant for its consulting services in the initial public offering (“IPO”) for a purchase price of $0.01 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $3,000. On July 29, 2024 and August 28, 2024, the Sponsor surrendered to GigCapital7 for no consideration an additional 659,417 Class B ordinary shares and 3,833,337 Founder Shares, respectively, resulting in the Sponsor holding 12,207,246 Class B ordinary shares. The Sponsor forfeited 2,000,000 Founder Shares upon the underwriters’ decision not to exercise the over-allotment option in full on October 25, 2024. On August 27, 2025, the Sponsor gifted 100,000 Class B ordinary shares to a non-affiliated charitable organization. On January 21, 2026, the Sponsor transferred 175,000 Class B ordinary shares to a non-affiliated third party for $148,750. As a result of these transactions, as of the date of this Annual Report, the Sponsor holds 9,932,246 Founder Shares, a non-affiliated charitable organization holds 100,000 Founder Shares, a non-affiliated third party investor holds 175,000 Founder Shares and the consultant holds 300,000 Class B ordinary shares. Additionally, thirteen groups of institutional investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of our management, our Sponsor or any other investor) hold an aggregate of 2,826,087 Class B ordinary shares purchased at $1.15 per share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, GigCapital7 consummated the sale of an aggregate of 3,719,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $0.01561 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $58,060.
A total of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per GigCapital7 Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee.

Business Combination Agreement
On September 27, 2025, GigCapital7 entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Hadron Energy and Merger Sub, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to shareholder approval, following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Hadron Energy, with Hadron Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GigCapital7 (the “Merger”), resulting in a combined company whereby Domesticated GigCapital7 will become the parent company of Hadron Energy and be renamed Hadron Energy, Inc., and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by Hadron Energy, Inc.
On December 12, 2025, the parties entered into a first amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties expanded the size of the post-Closing Board of Directors to eight (8) members.
Prior to and as a condition of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to GigCapital7 domesticating in the Domestication as a Delaware corporation (“Domesticated GigCapital7”) GigCapital7 will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, as amended.
We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations until the consummation of the Business Combination. We intend to effectuate the Business Combination using cash held in the Trust Account and shares issued to Hadron Energy.
If not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used from redemptions of Class A ordinary shares, we may use the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including to pay transaction expenses and for GigCapital7’s working capital.
General
Our management team has significant hands-on experience helping companies optimize their existing and new growth initiatives. Further, we intend to share best practices and key learnings, gathered from our management team’s operating and investing experience, through their more than 30 years of experience in the public markets and more so the last eight years as repeat sponsors of special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) entities, as well as strong relationships in the TMT, cybersecurity and MedTech industries, to help shape corporate strategies. Additionally, our management team has operated and invested in leading global TMT, cybersecurity and MedTech companies across their corporate life cycles and has developed deep relationships with key large multi-national organizations, global leaders and executives, and private and public investors. We believe that these relationships and our management team’s know-how present a significant opportunity to help drive strategic dialogue, access new customer and strategic partner relationships, and achieve global ambitions to unlock value through the business combination closing, as well as following the completion of our initial business combination for a horizon of 3-5 years. Our business strategy is to identify and complete our initial business combination with a company that complements the experience of our management team and can benefit from our management team’s operational expertise. Our Company’s unique expertise offers a comprehensive framework for a publicly traded company to foster both organic and strategic growth initiatives within its operational ecosystem. Our selection process leveraged with our management team’s broad and deep relationship network and unique TMT, AI/ML, cybersecurity, MedTech, semiconductors and sustainable industries expertise, including proven deal-sourcing and structuring capabilities, to provide us with a multitude of business combination opportunities. Our management team has experience:
•
operating companies, setting and changing strategies, and identifying, mentoring and recruiting world-class talent;
•
developing and growing companies, both organically and inorganically, and expanding the product ranges and geographic footprints of a number of businesses;
•
sourcing, structuring, acquiring and selling businesses and achieving synergies to create shareholder value at the initial stages of the public life cycle and through long-term operational horizon;
•
establishing a wide deal flow and efficient methodology of screening superior M&A targets worldwide;
•
partnering with industry-leading companies to increase sales and improve the competitive position of those companies;
•
addressing business and technological changes in an evolving global TMT, AI/ML, cybersecurity, MedTech, semiconductor and sustainable industries’ landscape;
3
•
evaluating the viability of emerging TMT, AI/ML, cybersecurity, MedTech, semiconductor and sustainable business models;
•
executing IPOs and providing complete “one stop shop” services required for a successful process of becoming public, including, but not limited to, access to investors, legal and accounting support, investment and commercial banking services, investor and public relations services, and human resources services;
•
fostering relationships with sellers, capital providers and target management teams; and
•
accessing the capital markets across various business cycles, including financing businesses and assisting companies with the transition to public ownership.
Our Sponsor and Its Affiliates
Our Sponsor, GigAcquisitions7 Corp., was responsible for organizing, directing and managing the business and affairs of GigCapital7 from its inception until consummation of the IPO. The Sponsor’s activities included identifying and negotiating terms with the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, other third-party service providers such as GigCapital7’s auditors and legal counsel, and GigCapital7’s original directors and officers. Since the GigCapital7 IPO, an affiliate of the Sponsor, GigManagement, LLC, has assisted GigCapital7’s management in identifying and negotiating terms with prospective target companies, including Hadron Energy. The Sponsor has had no operations outside of the responsibilities described above that it has fulfilled to GigCapital7.
Notwithstanding our management team’s past experiences, past performance is not a guarantee (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or (ii) that we will provide an attractive return to our shareholders from any business combination we may consummate. You should not rely on the historical record of GigAcquisitions7 Corp.’s and our management’s performance as indicative of our future performance.
Business Operations
GigCapital7 has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. GigCapital7’s only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO and to identify a target business for the business combination. GigCapital7 does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination. GigCapital7 generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities raised during the IPO. There has been no significant change in GigCapital7’s financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of GigCapital7’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 6, 2025. GigCapital7 expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on August 28, 2024. On August 30, 2024, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 GigCapital7 Units, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the (i) the sale of 2,826,087 Class B ordinary shares to certain institutional investors at $1.15 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3,250,000, and (ii) the sale to the Sponsor of 3,719,000 Private Placement Warrant at a price of $0.01561 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $58,060.
Following the closing of the IPO, an amount of $200,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the GigCapital7 Units was placed in the Trust Account with Continental acting as trustee and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of one hundred eight-five (185) days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as amended, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO amounted to $1,319,918, consisting of $600,000 of underwriting fees and $1,019,918 of offering costs, partially offset by the reimbursement of $300,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters. Following the closing of the IPO, substantially all of GigCapital7’s business activities consisted of identifying potential targets preparing to consummate the Business Combination.
4
The GigCapital7 management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that GigCapital7 will be able to complete a business combination successfully. GigCapital7 must complete an initial business combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. GigCapital7 will only complete a business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
GigCapital7 will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether GigCapital7 will seek stockholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by GigCapital7, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially following the IPO, $10.00 per share), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to GigCapital7 to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a business combination with respect to GigCapital7’s warrants.
GigCapital7 intends to proceed with a business combination only if GigCapital7 has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a business combination unless a shareholder proposal to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of GigCapital7 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) to eliminate the limitation is approved and, if a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. If a stockholder vote is not required and GigCapital7 does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, GigCapital7 will, pursuant to its Cayman Constitutional Documents, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a business combination. If GigCapital7 seeks stockholder approval in connection with a business combination, GigCapital7’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased by it during or after the IPO in favor of approving a business combination. Additionally, each holder of our public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) may elect to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a business combination.
If GigCapital7 seeks stockholder approval of a business combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, GigCapital7’s proposed new certificate of incorporation of Domesticated GigCapital7 (the “Proposed Interim Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 10% or more of the Public Shares, without GigCapital7’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor has agreed to (a) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares (if any) in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; (b) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares (if any) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents; (c) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if GigCapital7 fails to complete the initial business combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination) in favor of the initial business combination.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to GigCapital7 if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to GigCapital7, or a prospective target business with which GigCapital7 has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per Public Share

held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay our taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and will not apply to any claims under GigCapital7’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. GigCapital7 will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except GigCapital7’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which GigCapital7 does business, execute agreements with GigCapital7 waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Acquisition Process
In evaluating Hadron Energy as a prospective target business, GigCapital7 conducted a due diligence review which has encompassed, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information about the target and its industry which have been made available to us. GigCapital7’s management devoted significant energy to structuring and negotiating the terms of the business combination transaction with Hadron Energy.
Initial Business Combination
Nasdaq rules require that GigCapital7 must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for GigCapital7’s initial business combination of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). The GigCapital7 Board concluded that the fair market value of the business of Hadron Energy on September 27, 2025 was in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account).
GigCapital7 structured the Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the Public Shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business of Hadron Energy.
GigCapital7 is not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with its Sponsor, officers or directors, non-managing investors or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers or directors, or non‑managing investors, but has chosen not to do so. In the event that GigCapital7 were to seek to complete its initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in GigCapital7’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) with GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers or directors, GigCapital7, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by GigCapital7 in such an initial business combination is fair to GigCapital7 from a financial point of view. GigCapital7 is not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context, and has not done for the Business Combination with Hadron Energy.
GigCapital7 filed a registration statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register its securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. As a result, GigCapital7 is subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. GigCapital7 has no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of its initial business combination.
Corporate Information
GigCapital7’s executive offices are located at 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303, and its telephone number is (650) 276-7040.

GigCapital7 is a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, GigCapital7 has applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to GigCapital7 or its operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of GigCapital7’s shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by GigCapital7 to its shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of GigCapital7.
GigCapital7 is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in GigCapital7’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find GigCapital7’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for GigCapital7’s securities and the prices of GigCapital7’s securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. GigCapital7 intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
GigCapital7 will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (b) in which GigCapital7 has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which GigCapital7 is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of GigCapital7’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which GigCapital7 has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to emerging growth company will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Additionally, GigCapital7 is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. GigCapital7 will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of its ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) its annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of its ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th.
Financial Position
As of December 31, 2025, we held cash and marketable securities in the amount of $211,637,310 in the Trust Account. With the funds available, GigCapital7 offers a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because GigCapital7 is able to complete our initial business combination using its cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, GigCapital7 has the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow GigCapital7 to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, GigCapital7 has not entered into any agreements to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to GigCapital7.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team
7
Although GigCapital7 intends to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting its initial business combination with that business, GigCapital7’s assessment of the target business’ management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.
Furthermore, the future role of members of GigCapital7’s management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty, although it has been agreed in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement that certain members of the board of directors of GigCapital7 will remain on the board of the directors of the post-combination company. The determination as to whether any of the members of GigCapital7’s management team will remain with the combined company in any other capacity will be made at the time of its initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of GigCapital7’s directors will remain associated in some capacity with Domesticated GigCapital7 following its initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to Domesticated GigCapital7’s affairs subsequent to its initial business combination. Moreover, GigCapital7 cannot assure you that members of its management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
GigCapital7 cannot assure you that any of its key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of GigCapital7’s key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
Following an initial business combination, Domesticated GigCapital7 may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. GigCapital7 cannot assure you that it will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination
Under the GigCapital7 Cayman Constitutional Documents, because GigCapital7 is seeking shareholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, it may only complete such the Business Combination if it receives an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Further, pursuant to the GigCapital7’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, in connection with such shareholder approval, GigCapital7 must provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares.
Permitted Purchases of GigCapital7 Securities
If GigCapital7 seeks stockholder approval of its initial business combination and GigCapital7 does not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, GigCapital7’s Sponsor, initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of GigCapital7’s initial business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares GigCapital7’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. GigCapital7 does not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.
Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to purchase shares or Public Warrants in such transactions prior to completion of GigCapital7’s initial business combination.

The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of GigCapital7’s initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of Public Warrants could be to reduce the number of Public Warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with GigCapital7’s initial business combination. Any such purchases of GigCapital7’s securities may result in the completion of its initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of GigCapital7’s shares of common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of GigCapital7’s securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of GigCapital7’s securities on a national securities exchange.
GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by GigCapital7’s receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following GigCapital7’s mailing of proxy materials in connection with its initial business combination. To the extent that GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against GigCapital7’s initial business combination, whether or not such stockholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to GigCapital7’s initial business combination. GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
Any purchases by GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of common stock if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.
Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination
GigCapital7 will provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, GigCapital7’s initial business combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of GigCapital7’s initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of GigCapital7’s initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is as of the close of business on March 1, 2026 is $10.64321 per Public Share. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of GigCapital7’s initial business combination with respect to its warrants. GigCapital7’s Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Class B ordinary shares and any Public Shares they may have acquired during or after the IPO in connection with the completion of GigCapital7’s initial business combination.
Manner of Conducting Redemptions
GigCapital7 will provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. Although the decision as to whether GigCapital7 will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or whether GigCapital7 were
9
deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules), GigCapital7 is seeking shareholder approval of the Business Combination with Hadron Energy. Furthermore, so long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, GigCapital7 will be required to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules.
The requirement that GigCapital7 provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed above are contained in provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and will apply whether or not GigCapital7 maintains its registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended if approved by a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662⁄3% of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company, so long as GigCapital7 offers redemption in connection with such amendment.
If GigCapital7 provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, GigCapital7 will, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents:
•
conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and
•
file proxy materials with the SEC.
In the event that GigCapital7 seeks shareholder approval of its initial business combination, GigCapital7 will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide its Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
If GigCapital7 seeks shareholder approval, it will complete our initial business combination only if it obtains the approval of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders of at least one third of issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Our Sponsor, officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Class B ordinary shares, private placement shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) in favor of our initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained.
As a result, in addition to our Sponsor’s Class B ordinary shares, GigCapital7 would need 6,734,421, or 33.67%, of the 20,000,000 Public Shares sold in the IPO to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved, assuming all outstanding shares are voted. Assuming that only the holders of one-third of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, representing a quorum under the Cayman Constitutional Documents vote their shares at a general meeting of the company, we will not need any Public Shares in addition to our Class B ordinary shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to approve an initial business combination. However, if our initial business combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, in addition to obtaining approval of our initial business combination by ordinary resolution, the approval of the statutory merger or consolidation will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands Law, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662⁄3% of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company.
In addition, prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares (i) will have the right to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) will be entitled to vote on continuing our company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our Sponsor, officers and directors, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each Public Shareholdermay elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the
10
proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
Limitation on Redemption upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination if we Seek Stockholder Approval
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.” Such restriction shall also be applicable to our affiliates. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed initial business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our IPO without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.
If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:
•
conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
•
file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least twenty (20) Business Days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than the number of Public Shares we are permitted to redeem. If Public Shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.
Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Class A ordinary shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
We intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery
11
requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming Public Shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates or shares delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their shares.
Our proposed initial business combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial business combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of the IPO, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
Delivering Share Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights
As described above, we intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public shareholder would have up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, or from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering shares a fee of approximately $100 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder.
However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to submit or tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be requested to be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. However, no withdrawal will be permitted unless the GigCapital7 Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our Public Shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.
12
If our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
If our initial proposed business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target until the end of the Completion Window.
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if no Initial Business Combination
The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that we will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete our initial business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window.
Our Sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed that they will not propose any amendment to our Cayman Constitutional Documents that would stop our Public Shareholders from converting or selling their public shares to us in connection with a business combination or affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete a business combination within 21 months from the closing of the IPO unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, net of franchise and income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. This redemption right shall apply in the event of the approval of any such amendment, whether proposed by our Sponsor, any executive officer, director or director nominee, or any other person. The non-managing investors that hold private placement shares are not required to (i) hold any hold any units, Class A ordinary shares or Public Warrants they purchased in the IPO or may purchase thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Class A ordinary shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination (although the non-managing investors have agreed to vote their private placement shares in favor of an initial business combination), or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of our initial business combination. The non-managing investors have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Class A ordinary shares comprising part of the public units they purchased in the IPO as the rights afforded to our other Public Shareholders. However, since the non-managing investors purchased certain public units in the IPO for which they expressed to us an interest and assuming they will continue holding such units at the time of an initial business combination, the non-managing investors will have different interests than our other Public Shareholders in approving our initial business combination and otherwise exercising their rights as Public Shareholders because of their ownership of private placement shares.
We expect that certain costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $89,362 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of the date of this Annual Report), although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on
13
the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. BPM LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the IPO will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity obligations to the IPO’s underwriters of the IPO for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per share.
14
We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have access to the remaining cash in our working capital bank account (approximately $54,690, as of the date of this Annual Report) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
If we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.” As a result, a liquidator or bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to applicable law and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) created by the terms of the proposed business combination. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents, like all provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, may be amended with a shareholder vote.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other SPACs, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions.
Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our Public Shareholders who exercise or are forced to exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage.
Employees
15
We currently have two (2) executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they devote in any time period varies based on the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.
Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
We have registered our Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports, contain financial statements audited and reported on by BPM LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.
We will provide shareholders with audited financial statement of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statement will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), or international financing reporting standards (“IFRS”), depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statement may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). These financial statements requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statement in time for us to disclose such statement in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure our shareholders that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statement prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statement in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
We have assessed our internal control procedures effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following August 30, 2029, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statement. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $200 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.
