41、or indirectly,in this offering,or as to the amount of the units the non-managing sponsor investors will retain,if any,prior to or upon the consummation ofour initial business combination.Because these expressions of interest are notbinding agreements or commitments to purchase,non-managing sponsor i

42、nvestors maydetermine to purchase fewer units in this offering,or none at all.Depending on howmany public units are purchased by the non-managing sponsor investors,the post-offering trading volume,volatility and liquidity of our securities may be reducedrelative to what they would have been had the

43、units been more widely offered and soldto other public investors.We do not expect any purchase of units by the non-managingsponsor investors to negatively impact our ability to meet The Nasdaq Global Market,or Nasdaq,listing eligibility requirements.In addition,the underwriters have fulldiscretion t

46、 shares in favor of our initial businesscombination.Nevertheless,the non-managingsponsor investors will be incentivizedto vote their public shares in favor of a business combination due to their indirectownership through the sponsor of founder shares and Class A ordinary shares andprivate placement

47、rights issued as part of the private placement units.For adiscussion of certain additional arrangements with the non-managingsponsor investors,see“SummaryThe OfferingExpressionsof Interest”on page 28.Our sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 8,433,333 ClassB ordinary shares(up to1,100,000 of which a

49、eof our initial business combination,or at any time prior thereto at the option ofthe holder thereof,on a one-for-one basis,subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions,share capitalizations,reorganizations,recapitalizations and the like.Because our sponsor acquired the ClassB ordinary shares at a

50、nominal price,ourpublic shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closingof this offering.Further,the ClassA ordinary shares issuable in connection withthe conversion of the ClassB ordinary shares may result in material dilution to ourpublic shareholders due to the anti-

51、dilution rights of our ClassB ordinary sharesthat may result in an issuance of ClassA ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion.In the case that additional ClassA ordinary shares,orequity-linked securities(as described herein),are issued or deemed issued in excessof the amou

66、ant to which suchofficer or director is or will be required to present a businesscombination opportunity to such entities.The low price that our sponsor,executive officers and directors(directly or indirectly)paid for the founder sharescreates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could po

67、tentially make asubstantial profit even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declinesin value and is unprofitable for public shareholders.If we are unable to completeour initial business combination within the completion window,or by such earlierliquidation date as our board of direc

70、tors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement withrespect to our initial business combination.Additionally,commencing on the date onwhich our securities are listed on Nasdaq,we will pay an affiliate of our sponsor inan amount equal to$22,900 per month for office space,utilit

73、,our officers and directors or their affiliatesmay be paid finders fees,advisory fees,consulting fees or success fees in orderto effectuate the completion of our initial business combination.Additionally,following consummation of a business combination,members of our management team willbe entitled

74、to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying,investigating and completing an initial business combination.As a result,there maybe actual or potential material conflicts of interest between members of ourmanagement team,our sponsor and its affiliates on one hand,and purchase

155、sscombination with one or more businesses,which we refer to throughout thisprospectus as our initial business combination.We have not selected any specificbusiness combination target and we have not,nor has anyone on our behalf,engagedin any substantive discussions,directly or indirectly,with any bu

156、sinesscombination target with respect to an initial business combination with us.While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business,industry,sector orgeographical location,we intend to focus on industries that complement ourmanagement teams background,and to capitalize on the ability of

157、our managementteam to identify and acquire a business,focusing on the defense and aerospaceindustries.The following discussion of our management teams experience and/or involvementwith past transactions relates to their respective experience and/or involvementwith such transactions while serving as

158、directors,officers,executives,advisorsor employees at other firms and organizations.Business Opportunity OverviewOur management team believes there is a backlog of companies that are interested inbecoming public companies.We believe that because this backlog is substantial,there may be a number of a

159、ttractive companies that will not be able to list via atraditional IPO in the near-term,and therefore may opt to pursue a listing via aSPAC instead.Moreover,we believe current market conditions are causing middle-market financial sponsors and venture capital firms to consider alternative methodsfor

160、providing liquidity to their limited partners.We believe the defense and aerospace sectors present attractive opportunities forus.Specifically,many companies in these sectors are either mid-stage growthassets or mature assets generating positive cash flow.In addition to thesefundamentals,the sectors

161、 contain a large number of privately-held businesses thatwe believe could benefit from our managements experience with other companies ofaccelerating revenue growth,expanding margins and improving capital allocationdecision-making.In addition to privately heldmiddle market businesses,we believemany

162、larger companies in the defense sector are in the process of evaluating theirportfolios of businesses and reviewing candidates for potential divestitures,whichwe believe may also prove to be attractive business combination targets.Our ChiefExecutive Officer,Menachem Shalom,also has significant exper

163、ience in corporatecarve-outs.However,we expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having abusiness objective similar to ours,including private investors(which may beindividuals or investment partnerships),other SPACs and other entities,domesticand international,competing for the ty

164、pes of businesses we intend to acquire.Inrecent years,the number of SPACs that have been formed has increasedsubstantially.Many of these competitors possess similar or greater technical,human and other resources to ours or more local industry knowledge than we do andour financial resources will be r

165、elatively limited when contrasted with those ofmany of these competitors.Because there are more SPACs seeking to enter into aninitial business combination with available targets,the competition for availabletargets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase,which couldcause target

166、companies to demand improved financial terms,which could increase thecost of,delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find andconsummate an initial business combination.32025/5/11 23:04sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2053799/000121390025040107/ea0232069-07.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives

316、 it likely that our board of directors will be able tomake an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial businesscombination,it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced withthe business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount ofuncertaint

317、y as to the value of the targets assets or prospects.Additionally,pursuant to Nasdaq rules,any initial business combination must be approved by amajority of our independent directors.We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public s

318、hareholders own shares will own or acquire100%of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.Wemay,however,structure our initial business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100%of such interests or assets ofthe target business in ord

319、er to meet certain objectives of the target managementteam or shareholders or for other reasons,but we will only complete such businesscombination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50%or more of theoutstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controllinginterest

320、 in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as aninvestment company under the Investment Company Act.Even if the post-transactioncompany owns or acquires 50%or more of the voting securities of the target,ourshareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a min

321、orityinterest in the post-transaction company,depending on valuations ascribed to thetarget and us in the business combination.For example,we could pursue atransaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange forall of the outstanding capital stock,shares or other equity inte

322、rests of a target.In this case,we would acquire a 100%controlling interest in the target.However,as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares,our shareholdersimmediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than amajority of our issued and outstanding shares

323、subsequent to our initial businesscombination.If less than 100%of the equity interests or assets of a targetbusiness or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company,theportion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will betaken into account for purposes

324、of the 80%of net assets test described above.Ifthe business combination involves more than one target business,the 80%of netassets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses.142025/5/11 23:04sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2053799/000121390025040107/ea0232069-07.htmhttps:/
