116、ed to reach 4.1%in 2025,according to data from the AfricanDevelopment Bank Group.The regions rapidly expanding economy and growingpopulation present a compelling landscape for growth and investment.As the region has gained economic momentum,McKinsey reports that Africa hasemerged as the worlds faste
117、st-urbanizing region with 45%of the regionspopulation(nearly 700million people)expected to live in cities by 2025.As aresult,there has been a significant push for increased investment ininfrastructure.According to the International Energy Agency(IEA),in order tosupport this rapid urbanization,the co
118、ntinent will need to spend over$190billionannually on infrastructure development.22025/5/20 10:46sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2061918/000121390025045019/ea0234893-04.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2061918/000121390025045019/ea0234893-04.htm9/226Table of ContentsIn recentyears,Africas infra
119、structure has seen significant developments acrossthree key sectors:Power,Oil and Gas,and Cement.In the power sector,electricityis becoming the backbone of Africas new energy systems,with renewables playing anincreasingly important role.With 600million people lacking access to electricityand growing
120、 demand from industries such as agriculture and freight,the IEA expectselectricity needs to grow 40%by 2030.McKinsey expects that Africas energy needscould double by 2050 as its population increases over the next three decades.Thesame report indicates that the additions to solar and wind generation
121、capacitieshave been minimal from 2021 to 2022 with only 4 GW of capacity added for eachgeneration type,but both are projected to grow significantly by 2050 with solarpower capacity increasing by 40 GW and wind power capacity up by 36 GW.Accordingto the IEA,Africa is home to 60%of the best solar reso
122、urces globally,yet ithouses only 1%of the installed solar PV capacity.The IEA further expects that theimplementation of Africas current climate pledges will lead to renewables,including solar,wind,hydropower,and geothermal accounting for over 80%of newpower generation capacity up to 2030 on the cont
123、inent,and capacity is set to growmore than three times by 2035.As a result,the average annual energy investment isprojected to increase to$192billion from 2026 to 2030,up significantly from the$99billion in average annual investment made from 2016 to 2020.Despite the global shift toward clean energy
124、,the oil and gas sector remainscrucial for Africas development.North and West Africas oil and gas sectorcontributed nearly 8%of the worlds global oil exports in 2023,with Nigeria asthe leading oil producer in Africa at roughly 74million metric tons produced,according to data from Statista.The Africa
125、n Exponent reports that the region isrichly endowed with both onshore and offshore reserves,totaling over 125billionbarrels of proven oil reserves while annual natural gas capacity is expected togrow to approximately 275billion cubic meters by 2037,according to the AfricanEnergy Chamber,promising su
126、bstantial growth opportunities.The African EnergyChamber also expects that Africas oil and gas sector is set for significantexpansion,with LNG export capacity set to increase from levels below 100millionmetric tons per year in 2023 to nearly 150million metric tons per year in 2035,fueled by governme
127、nt support and investment in new projects to increase capacity.In the cement sector,significant growth and consolidation are evident.DangoteCement has emerged as a dominant player,with the companys website stating,“Dangote Cement Plc is Sub-Saharan Africas leading cement company,with aproduction cap
128、acity of 52.0million tonnes per year across ten countries.”Thisgrowth is further corroborated by a report from Afripoli that illustrates thecompanys operational scale,and indicates that as of 2022,Dangote Cement isAfricas leading cement producer,with operations in ten countries across thecontinent a
129、nd revenues in excess of$3.5billion.The cement industrys growth hasbeen driven by a trend of increasing infrastructure development across thecontinent by firms such as Dangote Cement,with the companys expansion strategydemonstrating the benefits to leveraging the global value chain.Within Africa,we
130、believe the Nigerian infrastructure sector offers an attractiveopportunity to unlock value within our target industries.Oil and GasAfricas oil and gas sector,particularly in Nigeria where the sector is acornerstone of its economy,is richly endowed with both onshore and offshorereserves that we belie
131、ve promise substantial growth opportunities.A 2020publication by researchers from Nigeria Maritime University highlights the breadthof the reserves in the Niger Delta,with over 37.4billion barrels of proven oilreserves,an estimated 202trillion cubic feet of natural gas,606 oil fields andover 900 act
132、ive oil wells.We believe these fields present a latent opportunity forinvestment and development into Nigerias future national energy production.The refining sector in Nigeria contrasts sharply between the capacities of modularand major refineries,illustrating the countrys diverse approach to meetin
133、g bothlocal and regional energy demands.While large-scale operations like the DangoteRefinery,reported by the Financial Post to have a capacity of 650,000 barrelsperday,cater to broad market needs and offer economies of scale,smaller-scalemodular refineries instead focus on fulfilling local demand w
134、ith essential productslike LPG and diesel.We believe these modular refineries are crucial for addressinglocal fuel shortages and represent a strategic pivot towards self-sufficiency,reducing reliance on imported fuels.We believe Nigerias oil and gas sector is set for significant expansion,particular
135、ly in natural gas production,which we are closely observing as a corefocus area for the nations energy strategy.This focus aligns with global trendsfavoring cleaner energy sources,potentially positioning Nigeria to capitalize onsubstantial investments in gas-to-power projects and LPG distribution ne
136、tworks.These initiatives are designed to enhance energy accessibility across the nationand meet growing domestic and international demand.According to a 2024 articlefrom the African Business magazine,32025/5/20 10:46sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2061918/000121390025045019/ea0234893-04.htmhttps:/www.se

138、 investment and spurtechnological advancement in the sector.With the potential to substantiallyincrease both oil and natural gas outputs,we believe Nigeria stands on the brinkof transforming its energy landscape,offering vast opportunities for economicgrowth and energy security.PowerWe believe that
139、for Africa,and particularly in Nigeria,the power sector presentsa compelling landscape for growth and investment,driven by an expanding economyand a rapidly growing population,that is projected by the UN to exceed 400millionby 2050.Despite the current per capita electricity consumption being signifi
140、cantlylower than the global average 138 kWh compared to over 3,000 kWh as recorded bythe IEA in 2022 there is a strong demand for increased power supply.This demandhighlights a substantial opportunity for market expansion and improved efficiencywithin the sector.The governments strategic focus on in
141、creasing renewable energyoutput to 30%by 2030 according to the plan outlined by the National RenewableEnergy and Efficiency Policy(NREEEP)further enhances the sectors appeal,aligning with global trends towards sustainable energy solutions.The Nigerian electricity market,which was valued at approxima
142、tely$11.5billion in2023 according to Verified Market Research,is projected to reach$22.8billion by2031 with an expected compound annual growth rate(CAGR)of approximately 8.9%from2024 to 2031.This growth is supported by a supportive regulatory environmentthrough the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Co
143、mmission(NERC)that has encouragedinvestment through incentives such as tax holidays and import duty exemptions,particularly for renewable energy projects.Moreover,ongoing privatization effortsand recent regulatory enhancements outlined by the NERC are set to foster a morecompetitive market that is w
144、ell-positioned to attract both domestic andinternational investors.The Nigerian power sector stands at a pivotal point,with the potential tosignificantly enhance the countrys energy production capabilities and economicstability.The focus on expanding the energy mix to include more renewable sourceso
145、ffers investors a chance to contribute to a sustainable energy future for Nigeria.We believe the strategic push towards renewables,combined with favorablegovernment policies and the sectors large-scale potential,positions the Nigerianpower market as a promising avenue for long-term investments.As Ni
146、geria continuesto enhance its power infrastructure and regulatory frameworks,we believe thesector is poised to attract substantial capital inflows,driving further growth andstability in the regions energy landscape.CementWe believe that Africas cement sector and Nigerias cement industry specifically
147、,showcases a dynamic growth opportunity driven by significant urbanization andinfrastructure development.According to AsokoInsight,cement production isexpected to reach 244million metric tons by the end of 2025,with demand exceedingthe industrys established production capacity.The historical growth
148、in cementconsumption,which has grown approximately 8%annually from 2018 to 2023 accordingto Arm Securities Research,reflects the broader economic and structuraladvancements across Nigeria.This growth trajectory is closely linked to theescalating demands for housing and infrastructure,underscored by
149、ongoing urbanexpansion and the nations substantial population increase.The transformation of Nigerias cement industry has been significantly influencedby the privatization of several major state-owned cement companies,which hascatalyzed increased efficiency,investment,and capacity expansion across t
150、hesector.Notable privatizations include the Nigerian Cement Company(NIGERCEM)andBenue Cement Company(BCC),also acquired by Dangote Cement.The privatizationefforts have not only strengthened production capacities but also enhanced qualityand operational efficiencies,setting a precedent for potential
151、market entrants.Additionally,the development of massive projects like the Obajana Cement Plant byDangote Cement underscores the scale of investment and development potential withinthe Nigerian cement sector.We believe Nigerias cement industry is set on a path of significant expansion,offering lucrat
152、ive prospects for both existing players and new entrants.Withrobust growth in urbanization and infrastructure,aligned with strategicprivatizations,the industry is well-positioned to support the countrys broadereconomic objectives while promising substantial returns for investors.42025/5/20 10:46sec.

233、our shareholders.Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combinationmay be based,to the extent relevant,on these general guidelines as well as otherconsiderations,factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.Notwithstanding the foregoing,we may decide to
234、enter into our initial businesscombination with a target business that does not meet these criteria andguidelines.In the event that we decide to enter into our initial businesscombination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria andguidelines,we will disclose that the target busi
235、ness does not meet the abovecriteria in our shareholder communications related to our initial businesscombination,which,as discussed in this prospectus,would be in the form of tenderoffer documents or proxy solicitation materials that we would file with the SEC.Acquisition ProcessIn evaluating a pro
236、spective target business,we expect to conduct a due diligencereview which may encompass,among other things,meetings with incumbent managementand employees,document reviews,interviews of customers and suppliers,inspectionof facilities,as applicable,as well as a review of financial,operational,legalan
237、d other information about the target and its industry which will be madeavailable to us.If we determine to move forward with a particular target,we willproceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the business combinationtransaction.The time required to select and evaluate a target business and t
238、o structure andcomplete our initial business combination,and the costs associated with thisprocess,are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty.Any costsincurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of,and negotiationwith,a prospective target business with which our init
239、ial business combination isnot ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce thefunds available for us to use to complete another business combination.Because there are numerous special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enterinto an initial business combination with
240、 available targets,the competition foravailable targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase,which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms.Attractivedeals could also become scarcer for other reasons,such as economic or industrysector downturns(includin
241、g a negative public perception of mergers involvingSPACs),geopolitical tensions,or increases in the cost of additional capitalneeded to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination.Thus,our ability to identify and evaluate a target company may be impacted bysignificant co
242、mpetition among other special purpose acquisition companies inpursuing business combination transaction candidates and significant competitionmay impact the attractiveness of the acquisition terms that we will be able tonegotiate.Initial Business CombinationWe are not presently engaged in,and we wil

269、we issue a substantial number of new shares inexchange for all of the outstanding capital stock,shares or other equity interestsof a target.In this case,we would acquire a 100%controlling interest in thetarget.However,as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares,our shareholders
270、 immediately prior to our initial business combination could ownless than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initialbusiness combination.If less than 100%of the equity interests or assets of atarget business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post transactionco

293、these securities could have rights that rank senior to ourpublic shares.If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness,such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities andcould contain covenants that restrict our operations.Further,as described above,
294、due to the anti-dilution rights of our founder shares,our public shareholders mayincur material dilution.In addition,we intend to target businesses withenterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds ofthis offering and the sale of the private placement units,and,as a
295、result,if thecash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the trustaccount,net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders,we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initialbusiness combination.We may also obtain financin
