306、 we do not complete a business combination timely or fail toextend the period under which we must complete a business combination,see“Proposed Business Automatic Liquidation of Trust Account if No BusinessCombination”on page 111 of the prospectus.Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules,our initial busi
307、ness combination must be witha target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at leastequal to 80%of the balance in the Trust Account(excluding any deferredunderwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned onthe Trust Account)at the time of the execut
308、ion of a definitive agreement for suchbusiness combination,although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of severaltarget businesses.The fair market value of the target business will be determinedby our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted bythe financial commu
309、nity(such as actual and potential sales,earnings,cash flowand/or book value).Our board of directors will have broad discretion in choosing122025/5/11 23:06sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2024460/000121390025039846/ea0208079-09.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2024460/000121390025039846/ea020807
310、9-09.htm22/212Table of Contentsthe standard used to establish the fair market value of any prospective targetbusiness.The target business or businesses that we acquire may have a collectivefair market value substantially in excess of 80%of the Trust Account balance.Wewill not be required to comply w
311、ith the 80%fair market value requirement if we aredelisted from NASDAQ.We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that thetarget business we select has a fair market value in excess of at least 80%of thebalance of the Trust Account unless our board of directors cannot
312、make suchdetermination on its own.In addition,while we do not currently intend to pursue an initial businesscombination with a company that is affiliated with our officers,directors,insiders or their affiliates,we are not prohibited from pursuing such atransaction,nor are we prohibited from consumma
313、ting a business combination whereany of our officers,directors,insiders or their affiliates acquire a minorityinterest in the target business alongside our acquisition,provided in each casewe,or a committee of independent directors,obtain an opinion from an unaffiliatedthird party indicating that th
314、e price we are paying is fair to our shareholdersfrom a financial point of view.We are not required to obtain such an opinion inany other context.We currently anticipate structuring our initial business combination to acquire100%of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
315、Wemay,however,structure our initial business combination where we merge directlywith the target business or where we acquire less than 100%of such interests orassets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the targetmanagement team or shareholders or for other reasons,but we wi
316、ll only completesuch business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50%ormore of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires acontrolling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to registeras an investment company under the Investm
317、ent Company Actof1940,as amended,orthe Investment Company Act.Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires50%or more of the voting securities of the target,our shareholders prior to thebusiness combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company,depending on
318、 valuations ascribed to the target and us in thebusiness combination transaction.For example,we could pursue a transaction inwhich we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of theoutstanding capital stock of a target.In this case,we could acquire a 100%controlling interest in t
319、he target;however,as a result of the issuance of asubstantial number of new shares,our shareholders immediately prior to our initialbusiness combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstandingshares subsequent to our initial business combination.If less than 100%of theequity int
320、erests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquiredby the post-transaction company,only the portion of such target business orbusinesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80%fair market value test.We have not selected any specific business com
321、bination target but intend to targetbusinesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with thenet proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private units.As a result,ifthe cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the trustaccount,net of amounts
322、needed to satisfy any redemption by public shareholders,wemay be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initialbusiness combination.We cannot assure you that such financing will be available onacceptable terms,if at all.To the extent that additional financing proves to beuna
323、vailable when needed to complete our initial business combination,we would becompelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular businesscombination and seek an alternative target business candidate.Further,we may berequired to obtain additional financing in connection with th
324、e closing of ourinitial business combination for general corporate purposes,including formaintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction businesses,thepayment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing ourinitial business combination,or to fund the purchase of
325、 other companies.If we areunable to complete our initial business combination,our public shareholders mayonly receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account that areavailable for distribution to public shareholders,and our rights will expireworthless.In addition,even if we do not n
326、eed additional financing to complete ourinitial business combination,we may require such financing to fund the operationsor growth of the target business.The failure to secure additional financing couldhave a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the targetbusiness.None o
327、f our officers,directors or shareholders is required to provideany financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination.Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances orthe incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels.In addition,
328、theamount of the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriters willnot be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initialbusiness combination.The per share amount we will distribute to shareholders whoproperly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduc
329、ed by the deferredunderwriting commission and after such redemptions,the amount held in trust willcontinue to reflect our obligation to pay the entire deferred underwritingcommissions.132025/5/11 23:06sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2024460/000121390025039846/ea0208079-09.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/
