29、r more of the shares sold in this offering if we hold shareholder vote”for further discussion of certain limitations on redemption rights.Our sponsor,LightWave Founders LLC,and BTIG have committed to purchase an aggregateof 512,500 private units(or 563,125 private units if the over-allotment option
30、isexercised in full)at a price of$10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of$5,125,000(or$5,631,250 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full).Ofthese private units,our sponsor has agreed to purchase 362,500 private units(or390,625 private units if the over-allotment option is exercis

33、cable.Six institutional investors(none of which are affiliated withany member of our management,our sponsor or any other investor),which we refer toas the“non-managing sponsor investors”throughout this prospectus,have expressedan interest to indirectly purchase,through the purchase of non-managing s
34、ponsormembership interests,an aggregate of 292,500 private units($2,925,000 in theaggregate)at a price of$10.00 per unit(or 320,625 units($3,206,250 in theaggregate)if the over-allotment option is exercised in full)in a private placementthat will close simultaneously with the closing of this offerin
35、g.Subject to eachnon-managing sponsor investor indirectly purchasing,through non-managing sponsormembership interests,the private units allocated to it in connection with theclosing of this offering,the sponsor will issue membership interests at a nominalpurchase price to the non-managing sponsor in
36、vestors reflecting interests in anaggregate of 2,925,000 founder shares(or 3,206,250 founder shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full)held by the sponsor.The non-managing sponsor investors have expressed to us an interest in purchasing upto an aggregate of approximately 6,900,000 uni
37、ts in this offering at the offeringprice(assuming the exercise in full of the underwriters over-allotment option).None of the non-managing sponsor investors has expressed to us an interest inpurchasing individually more than 9.9%of the units to be sold in this offering.There can be no assurance that
38、 the non-managing sponsor investors will acquire anyunits,either directly or indirectly,in this offering,or as to the amount of theunits the non-managing sponsor investors will retain,if any,prior to or upon theconsummation of our initial business combination.Because these expressions ofinterest are
39、 not binding agreements or commitments to purchase,non-managing sponsorinvestors may determine to purchase fewer units in this offering,or none at all.Depending on how many units are purchased by the non-managing sponsor investors,thepost-offering trading volume,volatility and liquidity of our secur
40、ities may bereduced relative to what they would have been had the units been more widely offeredand sold to other public investors.We do not expect any purchase of units by thenon-managing sponsor investors to negatively impact our ability to meet Nasdaqlisting eligibility requirements.In addition,t
41、he underwriter has full discretion toallocate the units to investors and may determine to sell fewer units to the non-managing sponsor investors,or none at all,and the purchase of the non-managingsponsor membership interests is not contingent upon participation in this offering orvice versa.The unde
42、rwriter will receive the same upfront discounts and commissionsand deferred underwriting commissions on units purchased by the non-managing sponsorinvestors,if any,as it will on the other units sold to the public in this offering.In addition,none of the non-managing sponsor investors have any obliga
43、tion to voteany of their public shares in favor of our initial business combination.Nevertheless,the non-managing sponsor investors will be incentivized to vote theirpublic shares in favor of a business combination due to their indirect ownershipthrough the sponsor of founder shares and private unit
44、s.For a discussion ofcertain additional arrangements with the non-managing sponsor investors,see“SummaryThe OfferingExpressions of Interest.”On 29 January2025,our sponsor purchased,and the Company issued to the sponsor,6,062,500 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of$25,000.Subse
45、quently,on March 7,2025,the Company capitalized$26.25 standing to the creditof the Companys share premium account and issued to the sponsor an additional262,500 Class B ordinary shares,as a result of which the sponsor has purchased andholds an aggregate of 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares(up to 825
46、,000 of which aresubject to forfeiture by the holders thereof depending on the extent to which theunderwriters over-allotment option is exercised).Following and as a result of thatcapitalization and issuance of additional founder shares,the sponsor is deemed tohave purchased the founder shares for$0
47、.004 per share.The ClassB ordinary shareswill automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with orimmediately following the consummation of our initial business combination,or at anytime prior thereto at the option of the holder thereof,on a one-for-one basis,subject to adjustment
48、 as provided herein.Because our sponsor acquired the ClassBordinary shares at a nominal price,our public shareholders will incur an immediateand substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering,assuming no value isascribed to the warrants included in the units.In the case that additional Class
49、Aordinary shares,or equity-linked securities(as described herein),are issued ordeemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in this offering and related to theclosing of our initial business combination,the ratio at which the ClassB ordinaryshares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be a
50、djusted(unless theholders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ClassB ordinary shares agree towaive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemedissuance)so that the number of ClassA ordinary shares issuable upon conversion ofall ClassB ordinary shares will equal,i
51、n the aggregate,approximately 26.8%of thesum of(i)the total number of all ClassA ordinary shares outstanding upon thecompletion of this offering(including any ClassA ordinary shares issued pursuantto the underwriters over-allotment option and excluding the ClassA ordinary sharesthat are included 202

54、king capital loans)minus(iii)any redemptions of ClassA ordinary shares bypublic shareholders in connection with an initial business combination;provided thatsuch conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.As a result,the ClassA ordinary shares issuable in connecti
55、on with the conversionof the founder shares may result in material dilution to our public shareholders dueto the anti-dilution rights of our founder shares that may result in an issuance ofClassA ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion.Prior to the closing of our initial b
56、usiness combination,only holders of ourClass B ordinary shares(i)will have the right to vote to appoint and removedirectors prior to the completion of our initial business combination;and(ii)willbe entitled to vote on continuing our company in a jurisdiction outside the CaymanIslands(including any s
57、pecial resolution required to adopt new constitutionaldocuments as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in ajurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands).On any other matters submitted to a vote ofour shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of our initialbusiness
58、 combination,holders of the Class B ordinary shares and holders of theClassA ordinary shares will vote together as a single class,except as required bylaw.See“SummarySponsor Information”,“SummaryTheOffering Founder Shares”,“Summary The Offering TransferRestrictions on Founder Shares”,and“SummaryTheO
59、ffering Founder Shares Conversion and Anti-Dilution Rights”and“Risk Factors Risks Relating to our Securities The nominalpurchase price paid by our sponsor for the founder shares may result insignificant dilution to the implied value of your public shares upon theconsummation of our initial business
60、combination,and our sponsor is likelyto make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event weconsummate an initial business combination,even if the businesscombination causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to materiallydecline.”for further discussion of our sponsors and our aff
61、iliatessecurities and compensation.The low price that our sponsor,executive officers and directors(directly orindirectly)paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers anddirectors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select anacquisition target that subseque
62、ntly declines in value and is unprofitable for publicshareholders.If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within24 months from the closing of this offering(as may be extended by shareholderapproval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association toexten
63、d the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination),or bysuch earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve,the foundershares and private units will expire worthless,except to the extent they receiveliquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account
64、,which could createan incentive for our sponsor,executive officers and directors to complete atransaction even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines invalue and is unprofitable for public shareholders.Further,each of our officers anddirectors may have a conflict of interest w
65、ith respect to evaluating a particularbusiness combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers anddirectors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement withrespect to our initial business combination.Our public shareholders will experiencematerial dilution from
66、 the issuance of the shares(the“private shares”)underlyingthe private units.Our public shareholders may further experience material dilutionfrom the exercise of the 256,250 private warrants underlying the private units into256,250 Class A ordinary shares(or up to 281,563 private warrants exercisable
67、 into281,563 Class A ordinary shares if the underwriters over-allotment option isexercised in full).Additionally,our public shareholders may experience materialdilution if the$1,500,000 in working capital loans is fully advanced by the sponsorand the sponsor elects to convert the working capital loa
68、ns into private units at$10.00 per unit,resulting in the sponsor receiving an additional 150,000 privateClass A ordinary shares and 75,000 private warrants.The private warrants areexercisable on a cashless basis and,if exercised on such cashless basis,may resultin material dilution to our public sha
69、reholders.Upon consummation of this offeringor thereafter,we will repay up to$200,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor tocover offering-related and organizational expenses,and we will begin paying anaffiliate of our sponsor$10,000 per month(the“Administrative Services Fee”)foroffice space,utilitie
70、s and secretarial and administrative support.In the event thatfollowing this offering we obtain working capital loans from our sponsor or any ofits affiliates or from our officers or directors to finance transaction costs relatedto our initial business combination,up to$1,500,000 of such loans may b

182、ngthsAlternative Path to Becoming PublicWe believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner toprospective target businesses that desire to become a publicly listed company.Amerger with us will offer a target business an alternative process to a publiclisting rather than
183、the traditional initial public offering process.We believethat target businesses may favor this alternative,which we believe is lessexpensive,while offering greater certainty of execution than the traditionalinitial public offering.Furthermore,once a proposed business combination isapproved by our s
184、hareholders and the transaction is consummated,the targetbusiness will have effectively become public,whereas an initial public offering isalways subject to the underwriters ability to complete the offering,as well asgeneral market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring.Oncepublic
185、,we believe the target business would have greater access to capital andadditional means of creating management incentives that are better aligned withshareholders interests than it would as a private company.A public company canoffer further benefits by augmenting a companys profile among potential
186、 newcustomers and vendors and aid in attracting talented management.With publiccompany corporate governance standards,a target business may become attractive tothe public investors.Strong and Stable Financial Position with Flexibility.With funds in the trust account of$150,375,000(or$172,931,250 if
187、the over-allotmentoption is exercised in full)available to use for a business combination,we offer a target business a variety of options such as providing the owners of atarget business with shares in a public company and a public means to sell suchshares,providing capital for the potential growth
188、and expansion of its operationsor strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio.Because we are ableto consummate our initial business combination using our cash,debt or equitysecurities,or a combination of the foregoing,we have the flexibility to use themost efficient combination that w
189、ill allow us to tailor the consideration to bepaid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.However,since we have nospecific business combination under consideration,we have not taken any steps tosecure third party financing and there can be no assurance that it will beavailable to us.Pri

216、rchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following theconsummation of this offering or otherwise),shares issued to the owners of thetarget,debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target,othersecurities issuances,or a combination of the foregoing.We may seek to com
217、pleteour initial business combination with a company or business that may be financiallyunstable or in its early stages of development or growth,which would subject us tothe numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redee
218、m all or aportion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initialbusiness combination either(i)in connection with a general meeting called toapprove the business combination or(ii)without a shareholder vote by means of atender offer.If we seek shareholder approval,we will complet
219、e our initialbusiness combination only if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islandslaw and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association,whichrequires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by suchshareholders as,being entitled to do so,vote in p
220、erson or,where proxies areallowed,by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company.The decision asto whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination orconduct a tender offer will be made by us,solely in our discretion,and will bebased on a variety of factors suc
221、h as the timing of the transaction and whether theterms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval underapplicable law or stock exchange listing requirement.We have until the date that is 24months from the closing of this offering(as maybe extended by shareholder approval to am

231、d articles of association to extend the amount oftime we will have to consummate an initial business combination,we may elect to doso in the future.There is no limit on the number of extensions that we may seek;however,we do not expect that it will be necessary to extend the time period toconsummate
232、 our initial business combination beyond 36months from the closing ofthis offering.If we determine not to or are unable to extend the time period toconsummate our initial business combination or fail to obtain shareholder approvalto extend the completion window,our sponsors investment in our founder
233、 shares andour private units will be worthless,except to the extent they receive liquidatingdistributions from assets outside the trust account.Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations havingan aggregate fair market value of at least 80%of the value of the assets
234、held inthe trust account(excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxespayable on the interest earned on the trust account).Our board of directors willmake the determination as to the fair market value of our initial businesscombination.If our board of directors is not able to independent
235、ly determine thefair market value of our initial business combination,we will obtain an opinionfrom an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity thatcommonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of suchcriteria.While we consider it likely that our board
236、 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 ofuncertainty as to the value of the
237、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 posttransaction company in which our public shareholders own shares wil
238、l 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 posttransaction company owns or acquires less than 100%of such interests or assets ofthe target business in order to meet certain objectiv
239、es 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 in the target sufficient f
240、or it not to be required to register as aninvestment company under the Investment Company Actof1940,as amended,or theInvestment Company Act.Even if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50%or more of the voting securities of the target,our shareholders prior to thebusiness combination may co
241、llectively own a minority interest in the posttransaction company,depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in thebusiness combination.For example,we could pursue a transaction in which we issuea substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capitalstock,shares
242、or other equity interests of a target.In this case,we would acquirea 100%controlling interest in the target.However,as a result of the issuance ofa substantial number of new shares,our shareholders immediately prior to ourinitial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued ando
243、utstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.If less than100%of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are ownedor acquired by the post transaction company,the portion of such business orbusinesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into ac
244、count forpurposes of the 80%of net assets test described above.If the business combinationinvolves more than one target business,the 80%of net assets test will be based onthe aggregate value of all of the target businesses.We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a co

273、ts,and the future dilution they potentiallyrepresent,may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.Either or bothof these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfullynegotiating an initial business combination.See“Risk FactorsBecause of ourlimited resources and the s

276、 in our trust account or because we become obligated toredeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the businesscombination,in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt inconnection with such business combination.If we raise additional funds throughequity or
277、convertible debt issuances,our public shareholders may suffersignificant dilution and 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 securiti
278、es andcould contain covenants that restrict our operations.Further,as described above,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
279、the net proceeds ofthis offering and the sale of the private units,and,as a result,if the cashportion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the trust account,net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders,we may berequired to seek additional financing to co
