Item 1. Business
In this Form 10-K, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Libity (formerly Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp.) References to the “Sponsor” or the “Current Sponsor” mean Samara Special Opportunities, a Cayman Islands exempted company that acquired control of the Company on August 28, 2025.

General
Libity (formerly Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp.) is a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed on February 19, 2021 as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company was originally named Investcorp Acquisition Corp.; on January 11, 2022 it changed its name to Investcorp India Acquisition Corp.; and on October 15, 2024 and on May 14, 2026, it changed its name to Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp. and Libity, respectively. The Company intends to propose a further name change in connection with the Business Combination described below.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company has not commenced any operations and will not generate operating revenue until it consummates an Initial Business Combination.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
The Company’s registration statement for its initial public offering (the “IPO”) was declared effective on May 9, 2022. On May 12, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 25,875,000 units (including the underwriter’s over-allotment) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $258,750,000. Each unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant exercisable at $11.50 per share). Simultaneously with the IPO closing, the Former Sponsor purchased 16,087,500 private placement warrants at $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $16,087,500.
After IPO expenses, $266,512,500 was deposited in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in qualifying money market funds.
Extension Meetings, Redemptions and Nasdaq Delisting
On August 11, 2023, shareholders approved an extension of the business combination deadline to August 12, 2024 and removed the $5,000,001 net tangible asset redemption limitation. In connection therewith, holders of 16,085,554 Class A ordinary shares redeemed their shares for approximately $172,774,717 (approximately $10.74 per share). On August 12, 2024, shareholders approved a further extension to May 12, 2025, and holders of 8,314,066 Class A ordinary shares redeemed for approximately $95,447,584 (approximately $11.48 per share). Also on August 12, 2024, the Former Sponsor converted 6,468,749 of its Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.
On April 29, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s securities under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires completion of a business combination within 36 months of IPO registration effectiveness. Trading on Nasdaq was suspended at the open of business on May 6, 2025. Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the SEC on July 14, 2025, formally removing the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Since that time, the Company’s units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants have traded on the OTC Markets under the symbols “IVAUF,” “IVCAF” and “IVAWF,” respectively.

On May 12, 2025, shareholders approved an extension of the deadline to consummate an Initial Business Combination from May 12, 2025 to May 12, 2027 (the “Combination Period”). In connection therewith, holders of 1,449,359 Class A ordinary shares redeemed for approximately $17,521,050 (approximately $12.09 per share). Following such redemptions, 26,021 Class A ordinary shares remained subject to possible redemption, and the Trust Account balance was approximately $473,146. On May 14, 2026, shareholders further approved an extension from May 12, 2027 to May 12, 2028. In connection therewith, holders of 11,896 Class A ordinary shares redeemed for approximately $152,721 (approximately $12.84 per share), which was paid on May 18, 2026. Following this redemption, 14,125 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption remained outstanding in the trust.
Change in Sponsorship – Purchase Agreement (August 28, 2025)
On August 28, 2025, the Former Sponsor entered into a purchase agreement (the “Sponsor Purchase Agreement”) with Samara Special Opportunities, the Current Sponsor. Pursuant to the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, the Former Sponsor sold to the Current Sponsor (i) 4,528,124 Class A ordinary shares (which had previously been converted from Founder Shares), (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share (the sole outstanding Founder Share), and (iii) 11,261,250 private placement warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. The Former Sponsor retained 1,940,625 Class A ordinary shares and 4,826,250 private placement warrants (the “Retained Securities”).
At closing: (a) the Current Sponsor joined the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement dated May 12, 2022; (b) the Former Sponsor’s officers and directors resigned and were replaced by designees of the Current Sponsor, with Vikas Mittal appointed as Principal Executive Officer and a director and James DeAngelis appointed as Principal Financial Officer and a director; (c) the IPO-era letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”) was terminated; (d) all SPAC Paid-Off Liabilities, Assumed Liabilities, and Written-Off Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) were settled or extinguished as of August 29, 2025 (the “Payment Date”), as further described in Note 5; and (e) the Current Sponsor assumed responsibility for funding ongoing expenses of the Company, including any required Trust Account extension contributions.
Business Combination Agreement with Blue Finance
On April 8, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement” or “BCA”) with Blue Finance Technology Holding Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“Blue Finance”), Beckwell One Limited, an Irish public limited company (“New Pubco”), a Cayman Islands merger subsidiary of New Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and the Target Representative. The BCA contemplates a two-step transaction in which: (i) Blue Finance shareholders will contribute their shares to New Pubco in exchange for an aggregate of 21,985,971 New Pubco ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share (the “Closing Consideration”), together with up to 6,000,000 contingent earnout shares issuable over five years upon achievement of share price and market capitalization milestones; and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (the “Merger” and, together with the share contribution, the “Business Combination”). The implied equity value of Blue Finance is approximately $300 million.
Concurrently with signing, the Current Sponsor, the Company and Blue Finance entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Current Sponsor agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, waive its redemption rights, and to waive certain anti-dilution rights. The agreement includes customary transfer restrictions and will terminate upon the earlier of closing or termination of the Business Combination Agreement. The outside termination date under the BCA is November 4, 2026. On April 13, 2026, the Company and Blue Finance issued a joint press release announcing the transaction.
Blue Finance – Overview
Blue Finance is a UK-based consumer finance technology company that provides regulated lending products through digitally-native channels. Blue Finance operates under permissions granted by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and is subject to the FCA’s Consumer Duty and related conduct requirements. Blue Finance’s originations are supported by warehouse and forward-flow facilities with institutional credit partners. More detailed information regarding Blue Finance’s business, financial condition and prospects will be included in the Form F-4 registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by New Pubco in connection with the Business Combination.

Business Strategy and Competition
Following the Former Sponsor’s departure, the Company no longer focuses its search on India-based targets. Under the Current Sponsor, the Company’s focus has shifted to financial technology, consumer finance and adjacent sectors, with its primary focus being completion of the Business Combination with Blue Finance. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company may pursue an alternative Initial Business Combination target in any industry or geography within the Combination Period. The Company continues to face competition from other SPACs, private equity groups and strategic acquirers, and its limited remaining Trust Account balance may limit the scale of alternative targets.
Employees; Facilities; Reporting
The Company has two executive officers and no other employees. The Company’s executive offices are located at the address on the cover page of this Form 10-K and are provided by an affiliate of the Current Sponsor at no cost to the Company. The Company registered its Units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants under the Exchange Act and continues to have reporting obligations thereunder notwithstanding the delisting of its securities from Nasdaq. The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and a “smaller reporting company” under Regulation S-K, and may rely on related reduced disclosure accommodations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks described below are those that we currently consider material to our shareholders, but are not exhaustive. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also impair our business and results.
Risks Relating to the Business Combination
We may not complete the Business Combination with Blue Finance within the time required by the BCA. The BCA is subject to customary closing conditions, including SEC clearance of the Form F-4 registration statement, shareholder approval, receipt of required regulatory consents (including in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Cayman Islands), and absence of a material adverse effect. If any such condition is not satisfied or waived by November 4, 2026, either party may terminate the BCA. Failure to consummate the Business Combination would leave us dependent on identifying an alternative target within the Combination Period ending May 12, 2028 as the extension was further approved by shareholders on May 14, 2026.
A large number of redemptions in connection with the Business Combination would reduce the cash available to the post-Closing company. Substantially all of our Trust Account has been depleted through prior redemptions; as of the date of this Form 10-K, only 14,125 Class A ordinary shares remain subject to redemption. Although redemptions at Closing are therefore expected to be limited in absolute dollar terms, additional financings (if any) may be necessary to fund Blue Finance’s operations post-Closing, and no PIPE financing has been committed.
Our board did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination. The Libity board of directors relied on the experience of its members and the results of due diligence to approve the transaction. No third-party valuation or fairness opinion was obtained, and shareholders have no assurance from an independent source that the price being paid for Blue Finance is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.
The Current Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that differ from those of other shareholders, including the fact that their equity interests were acquired at nominal prices and will be worthless if the Business Combination (or another business combination) is not completed within the Combination Period.
3
Risks Relating to Blue Finance’s Business
Blue Finance is subject to extensive regulation by the FCA, including the Consumer Duty, affordability and creditworthiness assessment obligations, and complaints-handling requirements. Any actual or perceived failure to comply could result in enforcement action, restrictions on Blue Finance’s permissions, customer remediation obligations, or reputational harm. Blue Finance depends on warehouse and forward-flow facilities to fund originations; the loss or non-renewal of such facilities, or a material tightening of their terms, could materially reduce loan volumes.
Blue Finance operates in the United Kingdom and its revenues are denominated in pounds sterling, while New Pubco will be incorporated in Ireland and report in U.S. dollars. Currency fluctuations and cross-border tax and regulatory considerations could adversely affect the post-Closing company’s financial results.
Risks Relating to Our SPAC Structure and Trust Account
On May 12, 2025, our shareholders approved an extension of the deadline by which we must consummate an initial business combination from May 12, 2025 to May 12, 2027. In connection with the extension, holders of 1,449,359 Class A ordinary shares exercised their redemption rights and redeemed their shares for an aggregate of approximately $17.5 million, or approximately $12.09 per share. As a result of these redemptions, only 26,021 Class A ordinary shares remained outstanding and subject to possible redemption, and the balance in the Trust Account was reduced to approximately $473,146.
Subsequently, on May 14, 2026, our shareholders approved a further extension of the deadline to consummate an initial business combination from May 12, 2027 to May 12, 2028. In connection with the 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 11,896 Class A ordinary shares redeemed approximately $152,721 at a per-share redemption price of approximately $12.84. Following this redemption, 14,125 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption remained outstanding in the trust. If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination by May 12, 2028, we will cease operations, redeem the remaining public shares, and dissolve. The amount per share available on redemption will be limited to the balance remaining in the Trust Account at that time, which as of December 31, 2025 was $12.56. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced below that amount.
We are reliant on the Current Sponsor to fund our ongoing operations. Under the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, the Current Sponsor assumed responsibility for funding the ongoing expenses of the Company and any monthly extension contributions. The Current Sponsor has extended working capital loans of up to $300,000 to fund our operations pending Closing, but is not obligated to make additional loans beyond that amount. If the Current Sponsor is unable or unwilling to continue providing funding, we may be unable to continue our search for a target or fund the expenses of the Business Combination.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Risks Relating to Our Securities and OTC Trading
Our securities were delisted from Nasdaq effective July 14, 2025 and now trade only on the OTC Markets. OTC trading is substantially less liquid than exchange-listed trading, generally has wider bid-ask spreads, and is subject to penny-stock rules that may further impair liquidity. This may adversely affect the trading price of our securities and the ability of shareholders to buy or sell our securities. In order to list the post-Closing company’s securities on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange, New Pubco will be required to satisfy the initial listing requirements of such exchange, which are more stringent than the continued listing requirements applicable prior to delisting.
Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. This may cause significant volatility in our reported results and may make us a less attractive business combination partner to certain targets.
The Current Sponsor holds the sole Class B ordinary share (the Founder Share) and a majority of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the Current Sponsor controls the outcome of most matters submitted to a shareholder vote, including the election of directors and approval of the Business Combination.
4
Risks Relating to Internal Controls and Regulation
We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to an ineffective review control that resulted in a material adjustment to accrued expenses. Additionally, the Company did not maintain a control requiring independent reconciliation of the total trust account balance prior to distribution to redeeming shareholders, which resulted in an underpayment of approximately $155,957 to redeeming shareholders at the May 2025 extraordinary general meeting, subsequently corrected through a stub payment made in May 2026. Finally, the Company identified a material weakness during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to lack of controls over complex financial instruments. We continue remediation efforts but have not yet concluded that the material weaknesses have been remediated. The 2024 SPAC Rules impose additional disclosure and process requirements on de-SPAC transactions that may increase our costs and extend our timeline to completion.
Because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands, shareholders may face practical difficulties enforcing their rights under U.S. federal securities laws, including in effecting service of process and enforcing U.S. judgments against our directors and officers resident outside the United States.
Risks Relating to Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions
Macroeconomic conditions, tariff and trade policy uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and capital market volatility may adversely affect our ability to consummate the Business Combination. Global macroeconomic conditions have been characterized by significant volatility in recent periods. Factors including elevated inflation, rising and sustained high interest rates, broad-based U.S. tariff and trade policy changes, geopolitical conflicts (including the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and heightened U.S.-China trade tensions), and concerns about a potential global economic slowdown have created, and may continue to create, adverse conditions affecting capital markets, credit availability, and business confidence. Deteriorating market conditions could reduce investor appetite for the Business Combination, make it more difficult to obtain PIPE or alternative financing commitments, impair New Pubco’s ability to satisfy Nasdaq initial listing requirements, or make shareholder approval less certain. A prolonged period of market dislocation or capital market disruption could delay or prevent completion of the Business Combination before the November 4, 2026 outside date under the BCA. We cannot predict the duration or severity of current macroeconomic conditions or the impact of future policy changes, and there can be no assurance that such conditions will not further deteriorate before the Business Combination is consummated.
Blue Finance’s consumer lending business is directly exposed to elevated UK benchmark interest rates and the availability of institutional funding facilities, each of which could materially impair its financial results and reduce the attractiveness of the Business Combination. Blue Finance funds its loan originations through warehouse and forward-flow facilities with institutional credit partners. Elevated benchmark rates (including SONIA and the Bank of England base rate) directly increase Blue Finance’s cost of funds, compress net interest margins, and reduce the economics of its lending operations. A sustained high-rate environment, a credit tightening by funding partners, or a material deterioration in UK consumer credit performance could materially reduce Blue Finance’s loan volumes, increase credit losses, or result in the loss or non-renewal of critical funding facilities. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect Blue Finance’s financial condition and results of operations, render the Business Combination less attractive to shareholders, or affect New Pubco’s ability to operate and grow the business following Closing.
Currency fluctuations between the pound sterling and the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the reported financial results of New Pubco following Closing. Blue Finance’s revenues and costs are denominated in pounds sterling. Following the Business Combination, New Pubco will be incorporated in Ireland and will report its financial results in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, Blue Finance’s sterling-denominated results will be translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, and any depreciation of sterling against the U.S. dollar will reduce the reported dollar-equivalent value of Blue Finance’s revenues, earnings, and assets. Volatility in the sterling/dollar exchange rate — which has been elevated in recent periods due to UK macroeconomic uncertainty, trade policy developments, and global risk sentiment — could cause significant period-to-period variability in New Pubco’s reported results and make it difficult for investors to assess the underlying performance of the business. The Company and Blue Finance have not entered into currency hedging arrangements, and there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be entered into following Closing.
5
U.S. tariff and trade policy developments may indirectly affect Blue Finance’s business through macroeconomic spillover effects on the UK economy and UK consumer credit quality. The U.S. administration has imposed, and may impose additional, broad-based tariffs on goods imported from numerous trading partners, including the United Kingdom. Although Blue Finance’s business is a UK consumer lending operation with no direct U.S. import or export exposure, the broader macroeconomic effects of tariff escalation — including retaliatory measures, reduced global trade volumes, currency volatility, increased inflationary pressure, and potential recessionary conditions in the UK — could reduce UK consumer spending power, increase unemployment, and impair the credit quality of Blue Finance’s borrowers. An increase in defaults, delinquencies, or credit losses in Blue Finance’s loan portfolio as a result of such conditions could materially reduce its earnings and the value of the combined company following Closing. Additionally, tariff-driven volatility in U.S. capital markets could reduce investor interest in New Pubco’s securities following Closing.
New Pubco and Blue Finance will depend on access to debt and equity capital markets following Closing, and current macroeconomic conditions may impair their ability to raise financing on acceptable terms. No committed PIPE financing has been arranged in connection with the Business Combination. Following Closing, New Pubco and Blue Finance will be dependent on available debt and equity markets to fund Blue Finance’s ongoing lending operations and support its growth strategy. A market environment characterized by tight credit conditions, elevated credit spreads, reduced appetite for small- and mid-cap equity issuances, or continued macroeconomic uncertainty could impair New Pubco’s ability to access capital on acceptable terms or at all. Any failure to obtain adequate financing could constrain Blue Finance’s loan origination volumes, limit its growth, and adversely affect New Pubco’s financial condition and the trading price of its securities following Closing.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read together with our audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company formed on February 19, 2021 for the purpose of effecting an Initial Business Combination. Significant events during fiscal 2025 include: (i) the April 29, 2025 Nasdaq delisting determination and the subsequent July 14, 2025 formal removal of our securities from Nasdaq; (ii) the May 12, 2025 shareholder approval of an extension of the Combination Period to May 12, 2027 (subsequently extended to May 12, 2028 at the 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting held on May 14, 2026), and the related redemption of 1,449,359 Class A ordinary shares for $17,521,050; (iii) the August 28, 2025 closing of the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Samara Special Opportunities acquired control of the Company and the Former Sponsor paid or forgave $5,050,793 of Company liabilities; and (iv) the subsequent appointment of Vikas Mittal as Principal Executive Officer and Director and James DeAngelis as Principal Financial Officer and Director. Subsequent to year-end, on April 8, 2026, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Blue Finance.
Redemption and Supplemental (“Stub”) Payment
Subsequent to May 15, 2025, in connection with the redemption of 1,449,359 Class A ordinary shares, management identified that $150,000 of principal, representing three extension contribution payments, had not been included in the trust account balance used to calculate the redemption price paid to redeeming shareholders. This amount remained in the Citibank cash portion of the trust account and had not been invested as of the May 12, 2025 date used to determine the redemption value based on the trust balance reported by Citibank. Citibank subsequently credited the trust account with $1,055 of accrued interest on the uninvested $150,000 through May 12, 2025 (the “Omitted Amount”). As a result, the corrected trust account balance as of May 12, 2025, was approximately $17,986,669, compared to the $17,836,382 previously used to determine the redemption price.
Consequently, the Company approved a supplemental (“stub”) payment to the shareholders who redeemed their shares on May 15, 2025. Based on the trust account reconciliation from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”) as of May 13, 2026, the Omitted Amount represented approximately 32.44% of the adjusted net trust balance remaining after the May 15, 2025, redemption payments. Applying the same proportional allocation to trust interest earned from May 12, 2025, through May 13, 2026, approximately $7,702 of additional interest was calculated as allocable to the redeeming shareholders. The aggregate stub distribution amounted to approximately $155,957, or approximately $0.1076 per redeemed share, after accounting for rounding and administrative holdbacks. The stub payment was distributed on May 15, 2026, which resulted in the trust account balance of approximately $181,337, or approximately $12.84 per remaining public share outstanding.
Following the stub payment of approximately $155,957 and redemption payment of approximately $152,721, the trust account balance was approximately $181,337, or approximately $12.84 per remaining public share outstanding as of May 15, 2026.
Results of Operations
We have not generated any operating revenue. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $783,216, consisting of operating costs of $777,685 and loss on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $290,250, partially offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $284,719. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we had net income of $2,326,207, consisting of operating costs of $1,948,874, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $3,984,831 and gain on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $290,250. The significant decrease in Trust Account interest income reflects the dramatic reduction in Trust Account funds following the May 2025 redemptions.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash of $1 held outside the Trust Account, working capital deficit of $176,223, and investments held in the Trust Account of $482,661 (including the amount payable to redeeming shareholders of $155,957). Our working capital position at year end reflects the August 2025 extinguishment of substantially all legacy sponsor liabilities in connection with the Sponsor Purchase Agreement and the discharge by the Former Sponsor of approximately $1,118,982 of third-party vendor obligations. Our ongoing operations are funded by a Working Capital Loan from the Current Sponsor of up to $300,000, of which $4,194 was outstanding at December 31, 2025.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $2,216,260. Net loss of $783,216 was affected by the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $290,250 and interest income of $284,719. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $1,438,575 of cash, primarily reflecting the reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses (which were paid by the Company in connection with the Purchase Agreement) and payoff of the Due to Sponsor balance.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $17,321,050, primarily driven by the $17,521,050 withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment to redeeming shareholders in May 2025, partially offset by $200,000 of extension contributions deposited into the Trust Account during the year.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $16,137,387, reflecting $17,521,050 in payments to redeeming shareholders, partially offset by $200,000 in proceeds from the convertible promissory note from the Original Sponsor, $1,046,172 in proceeds from the working capital loan from the Original Sponsor, $133,297 in accounts payable paid by Original Sponsor on behalf of the Company, and $4,194 from the Samara Working Capital Loan.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds in the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination. To the extent share capital or debt is used as consideration, the remaining Trust proceeds will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business, make other acquisitions, and pursue our growth strategies.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor, its affiliates, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loan”), evidenced by promissory notes. The Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing and is repayable upon the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the date the Company determines to cease pursuing a Business Combination. If a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use proceeds held outside the Trust Account — but no Trust proceeds — to repay the Working Capital Loan.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its Business Combination. The Company is dependent upon Samara Special Opportunities to fund operating expenses and Trust Account extension contributions, and there is no assurance that the Company will successfully consummate a Business Combination prior to May 12, 2028. Management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Management’s plans to address these conditions include consummating the Business Combination prior to May 12, 2028 and obtaining additional financial support from Samara as needed; however, these plans are outside the Company’s control and accordingly substantial doubt has not been alleviated. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities, other than described below:
9
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short-form demands, that the Company register such securities, and have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Working Capital Loan
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loan”), evidenced by promissory notes. The Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing and is repayable upon the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the date the Company determines to cease pursuing a Business Combination. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use proceeds held outside the Trust Account — but no proceeds held in the Trust Account — to repay the Working Capital Loan.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting estimate:
Warrants
The Company accounts for its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40 and are therefore recorded as liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations.
Public Warrants are measured using quoted market prices when available. Depending on trading volume and market activity, the Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. When observable market prices are not considered representative of an active market, alternative observable inputs may be used to estimate fair value. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has subsequently been measured by reference to the trading price of the Public Warrants, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be fiscal 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and primarily resulted in enhanced income tax-related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
JOBS Act
The Company is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act and has elected to 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. As a result, the Company will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the effective dates applicable to private companies, and the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company also intends to rely on other exemptions available to emerging growth companies, including exemptions from the requirement to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and from certain executive compensation disclosure requirements. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering, (ii) the date it qualifies as a “large accelerated filer,” (iii) the date its annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, or (iv) the date it has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt over the prior three-year period.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The information required by this Item appears following Item 15 of this Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to a previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to an ineffective review control over the accrual of expenses, which resulted in a material adjustment to accrued expenses in connection with our Form 8-K filed on May 26, 2022 and an over-accrual of legal fees during the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company did not maintain a control requiring independent reconciliation of the total trust account balance to ensure accuracy of the distribution to redeeming shareholders, which resulted in an underpayment.in the second quarter of the year ending December 31, 2025. Finally, the Company identified a material weakness during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to lack of controls over complex financial instruments.
11
Following the change in sponsorship on August 28, 2025, our new management team is in the process of designing and implementing additional review controls intended to remediate the material weaknesses, including the implementation of a quarterly close checklist requiring sign-off by both the chief financial officer and an independent reviewer. In addition, management has implemented an enhanced reconciliation procedure for all future redemption events, requiring: (i) a comprehensive pre-payment reconciliation of all trust account sub-components (money market, cash, and any other positions) to a single total trust balance; (ii) comparison of that total to the trust value used in the per-share calculation; and (iii) CFO sign-off on the reconciliation prior to any redemption disbursement. Additionally, we plan to implement a more thorough second level review process over the accounting for complex financial instruments. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. As of December 31, 2025, the material weaknesses have not been remediated.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Based on an assessment performed in accordance with the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses described above. We continue our remediation efforts.
This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, there were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting, as described in “Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

Committees of the Board of Directors

None of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Prior to the closing of the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, we reimbursed our Former Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative services. The administrative services arrangement with the Former Sponsor terminated in connection with the August 28, 2025 closing, and the Current Sponsor provides office space and administrative services to the Company at no cost. Our Sponsor, officers and directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf.
After completion of an Initial Business Combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with the Company may be paid consulting, management or other compensation by the combined company. All such compensation will be fully disclosed to shareholders to the extent then known in the proxy materials furnished in connection with the Initial Business Combination.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants
On March 12, 2021, the Former Sponsor purchased 7,187,500 Founder Shares for $25,000. In March 2022, the Former Sponsor surrendered 718,750 Founder Shares for no consideration, leaving the Former Sponsor with 6,468,750 Founder Shares. On August 12, 2024, the Former Sponsor converted 6,468,749 Founder Shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis (completed November 18, 2024), leaving one Founder Share outstanding. Simultaneously with the IPO, the Former Sponsor purchased 16,087,500 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant.
14
Sponsor Purchase Agreement (August 28, 2025)
Pursuant to the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, the Former Sponsor sold to the Current Sponsor (i) 4,528,124 Class A ordinary shares, (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share, and (iii) 11,261,250 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. The Former Sponsor retained 1,940,625 Class A ordinary shares and 4,826,250 Private Placement Warrants. The Former Sponsor also (a) funded approximately $133,297 of third-party vendor obligations on behalf of the Company, and (b) forgave approximately $4,917,496 of related-party balances (Working Capital Loan of $2,836,172, Convertible Promissory Note of $1,650,000, amounts Due to Sponsor of $161,324, and accrued Administrative Services Fee of $270,000). The aggregate forgiveness and payment of $5,050,793 was recorded as a capital contribution to additional paid-in capital. At closing, the Company’s IPO-era letter agreement was terminated, and the Current Sponsor entered into a joinder to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement with respect to the Transferred Securities.
Working Capital Loans – Current Sponsor
Following the August 28, 2025 closing, the Current Sponsor has agreed to advance working capital loans of up to $300,000 to fund the Company’s ongoing operating expenses. Such loans are non-interest bearing, and repayable upon the earlier of (i) the date on which Company consummates its initial business combination or (ii) the date on which Company determines to cease pursuing a business combination. As of December 31, 2025, $4,194 was outstanding under these arrangements.
Extension Contributions
Prior to August 28, 2025, the Former Sponsor funded extension contributions to the Trust Account. Following the closing of the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, the Current Sponsor assumed responsibility for all monthly extension contributions of $50,000 per month required under the May 12, 2025 extension.
Sponsor Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on April 8, 2026, the Current Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement pursuant to which it agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, waive its redemption rights, and to waive certain anti-dilution rights. The agreement includes customary transfer restrictions and will terminate upon the earlier of closing or termination of the Business Combination Agreement.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (including Samara Special Opportunities as successor to a portion of such securities pursuant to its joinder to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement) are entitled to registration rights, including up to three demand registrations and customary “piggyback” rights.
Director Independence
Following the Nasdaq delisting on July 14, 2025, the Company is no longer subject to the director-independence rules of Nasdaq. Neither of the Company’s two current directors would be considered “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules or Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act because each is affiliated with the Current Sponsor.

LIBITY (formerly INVESTCORP AI ACQUISITION CORP.)
INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Libity
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Libity (formerly known as Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon consummation of a business combination, and management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by May 12, 2028, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The Company entered into a business combination agreement with a business combination target on April 8, 2026; however, the completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders among other conditions. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary approvals, satisfy the required closing conditions, raise the additional capital it needs to fund its operations, and complete the transaction. Additionally, the Company lacks the capital resources that are needed to fund its operations for a reasonable period of time, which is generally considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ CBIZ CPAs P.C.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021 (such date takes into account the acquisition of the attest business of Marcum LLP by CBIZ CPAs P.C. effective November 1, 2024)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Libity
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Libity (formerly known as Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

In addition, the Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LIBITY (formerly INVESTCORP AI ACQUISITION CORP.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Libity (formerly known as
Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on
As of December 31, 2025, and for the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company has not commenced any operations and will not generate operating revenue until after the completion of its Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
On May 12, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of units (the “Units”), at $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
Extension Meetings and Redemptions
At extraordinary general meetings held on August 11, 2023, August 12, 2024 and May 12, 2025, shareholders approved successive extensions of the deadline to complete a Business Combination and exercised their redemption rights as follows: (i) August 2023 – shares redeemed for $ ($ per share); (ii) August 2024 – shares redeemed for $
Nasdaq Delisting
On April 29, 2025, after prior notices, Nasdaq notified the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s securities under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires a SPAC to complete a business combination within 36 months of IPO registration effectiveness. Trading on Nasdaq was suspended effective May 6, 2025. On July 14, 2025, Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) formally removing the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Since that time, the Company’s units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants have been quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbols “IVAUF,” “IVCAF” and “IVAWF,” respectively.
Change in Sponsorship – Purchase Agreement (August 28, 2025)
On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into and consummated a purchase agreement (the “Sponsor Purchase Agreement”) by and among Samara Special Opportunities (“Samara” or the “Current Sponsor”), the Company, and the Former Sponsor. Pursuant to the Sponsor Purchase Agreement, the Former Sponsor sold to Samara (i) Class A ordinary shares, (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share, and (iii) Private Placement Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $. The Former Sponsor retained 1,940,625 Class A ordinary shares and Private Placement Warrants (the “Retained Securities”).
F-8
At closing: (a) Samara joined the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement dated May 12, 2022; (b) the Former Sponsor’s officers and directors resigned and were replaced by designees of Samara; (c) the IPO-era letter agreement was terminated; d) all SPAC Paid-Off Liabilities, Assumed Liabilities, and Written-Off Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) were settled or extinguished as of August 29, 2025 (the “Payment Date”), as further described in Note 5; and (e) Samara assumed responsibility for funding the ongoing expenses of the Company, including any monthly Trust Account extension contributions.
Business Combination Agreement (Subsequent Event – April 8, 2026)
On April 8, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with Blue Finance Technology Holding Limited (“Blue Finance”), Beckwell One Limited, an Irish public limited company (“New Pubco”), a Cayman Islands merger subsidiary of New Pubco, and the target representative. The BCA contemplates a two-step transaction in which (i) Blue Finance shareholders will contribute their shares to New Pubco in exchange for an aggregate of New Pubco ordinary shares valued at $ per share, together with up to contingent earnout shares issuable over five years, and (ii) the merger subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco. The outside termination date under the BCA is November 4, 2026. See Note 11.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company lacks the financial resources required to sustain operations for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements and is dependent on Samara to fund operating expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully consummate a Business Combination prior to May 12, 2028. Management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Management’s plans to address these conditions include consummating the Business Combination prior to May 12, 2028 and obtaining additional financial support from Samara as needed; however, these plans are outside the Company’s control and accordingly substantial doubt has not been alleviated. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and Uncertainties
Recent Tax Legislation. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law. ASC 740 requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which legislation is enacted. The Company has evaluated the OBBBA and concluded that none of its provisions has a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, consistent with the Company’s status as a Cayman Islands exempted company with no U.S. or other jurisdictional tax exposure.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by U.S. domestic corporations whose stock is traded on an established securities market, beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions (the “Excise Tax”). The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company and is not a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore the Excise Tax does not apply to the Company’s redemptions of its Class A ordinary shares. Treasury regulations and IRS guidance addressing the application of the Excise Tax to non-U.S. corporations and to redemptions occurring in connection with business combinations remain subject to interpretation, and the Company will continue to monitor developments. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not recognized any liability for Excise Tax, including with respect to the August 2024 and May 2025 redemptions of its Class A ordinary shares.
F-9
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions. Macroeconomic, geopolitical, and trade-policy conditions — including U.S. tariff and trade policy changes, elevated global interest rates, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, and concerns about potential economic slowdown — may adversely affect our ability to consummate the Business Combination and the post-closing business of New Pubco and Blue Finance. Blue Finance’s consumer lending operations are directly sensitive to UK benchmark interest rates (which affect its cost of funds, net interest margins, and the economics of its lending business), to the availability and terms of institutional warehouse and forward-flow financing facilities, and to UK consumer credit conditions. Elevated UK rates have compressed net interest margins across the consumer lending sector and tightened institutional credit availability; a continued high-rate environment or further credit tightening could materially impair Blue Finance’s financial results. Blue Finance’s revenues are denominated in pounds sterling; a significant depreciation of sterling against the U.S. dollar would reduce the reported dollar-equivalent value of Blue Finance’s business and adversely affect New Pubco’s reported results post-Closing. U.S. tariff escalation, while not directly impacting Blue Finance’s UK consumer lending operations, could produce broader macroeconomic spillover effects in the UK — including higher unemployment, reduced consumer purchasing power, and increased credit losses — that adversely affect the quality of Blue Finance’s loan portfolio. No PIPE financing has been committed, and New Pubco will depend on access to debt and equity capital markets post-Closing; continued market volatility may impair this access. We continue to monitor these developments; however, we cannot predict their ultimate impact on the Business Combination or on New Pubco’s post-closing performance. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company
The Company is an emerging growth company (an “EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act permits EGCs to delay adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until those standards are required to be applied to private companies. The JOBS Act allows an EGC to irrevocably opt out of this extended transition period, but the Company has elected not to opt out. Accordingly, when a new or revised accounting standard has different effective dates for public and private companies, the Company will adopt the standard on the private-company effective date. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of public companies that are required to comply with public-company effective dates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are related to the fair value of the warrants.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-10
Sponsor Debt Forgiveness and Capital Contribution
In connection with the
Purchase Agreement, the Former Sponsor agreed to the discharge and forgiveness of all related-party balances owed by the Company to
the Former Sponsor as of the Payment Date. These balances included: (i) Working Capital Loan of $
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $
Investments Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Class A ordinary shares with redemption rights that are outside the Company’s sole control are classified as temporary equity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and Class A ordinary shares, respectively, were classified as temporary equity and presented outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the balance sheet, because the related redemption rights are subject to uncertain future events outside the Company’s control.
Changes in redemption value are recognized immediately as they occur, and the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares is adjusted to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are recorded as charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and thereafter against accumulated deficit.

As of December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

| Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2025 | $ |
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable guidance under ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments under ASC 480 that meet the definition of a liability, and whether the warrants meet the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares. This assessment is performed at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date.
Warrants that qualify for equity classification are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at issuance. Warrants that do not qualify for equity classification are recorded as liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations as a non-cash gain or loss.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments under ASC Topic 815 to determine whether they are derivatives or contain embedded derivative features. Derivative instruments classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments as liabilities or equity is reassessed at each reporting date. Derivative liabilities are presented as current or non-current based on whether net cash settlement or conversion could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. ASU 2023-09 (effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024) requires a tabular rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid. Because the Company has no income tax expense or benefit in any jurisdiction for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no rate reconciliation table or tax-paid disaggregation is presented herein, as such disclosures would be uninformative. The Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company not subject to income taxes in any jurisdiction. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Tax years 2022 through 2025 remain nominally open, but no taxing authority has asserted jurisdiction over the Company.
F-12
The Company has two classes of ordinary shares — Class A and Class B — which share pro rata in the Company’s net income or loss. Net income or loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income or loss allocable to each class by the weighted average number of shares of that class outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share is the same as basic, because the warrants are not exercisable until the consummation of a Business Combination and therefore are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Accretion of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to redemption value is excluded from the numerator because the redemption value approximates the carrying amount.
The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy categorizes inputs into three levels based on observability. See Note 9.
Subsequent to the May 15, 2025 redemption of Class A ordinary shares, the Company determined that approximately $
In addition, the Company allocated a portion of trust earnings attributable to the omitted amount through the payment date. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $ payable to redeeming shareholders as of December 31, 2025, representing the supplemental redemption amount due to shareholders who redeemed their shares in connection with the May 15, 2025 redemption event. The supplemental payment was distributed on May 15, 2026.
F-13
Operating Segments
The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Principal Executive Officer) reviews the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses performance on a consolidated basis. The Company does not accumulate discrete financial information with respect to separate divisions and does not have separate operating or reportable segments.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be fiscal 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and primarily resulted in enhanced income tax-related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the IPO on May 12, 2022, the Company sold Units (including the over-allotment) at a purchase price of $ per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share, $ par value, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”).

NOTE 7. WARRANT LIABILITY
The Company accounts for the
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares; no fractional shares will be issued. The Public Warrants will become exercisable
F-15
The Company will not be obligated to deliver Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the underlying shares is then effective and a current prospectus is available, and unless the issuance is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder (or an exemption is available).
Within
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants in whole and not in part, at $ per warrant, upon not less than days’ prior written notice, if and only if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption.
The Company may not exercise this redemption right unless an effective registration statement covering the underlying Class A ordinary shares is in place throughout the 30-day redemption period, except that the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities under applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants in whole and not in part, at $0.10 per warrant, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice, if and only if (i) the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for anti-dilution adjustments described in the warrant agreement) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption, and (ii) the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any such 20-trading-day period is less than $18.00 per share, in which case the Private Placement Warrants must concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms. Holders may exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive a number of Class A ordinary shares determined by reference to the table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares.
The Company may not exercise this redemption right if the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from, or has not been registered or qualified under, applicable state blue sky laws.
The exercise price and number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management may require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Trust Account is liquidated, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any distribution from Trust Account funds or other Company assets with respect to their Public Warrants, and the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
If (i) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (the “Newly Issued Price”), (ii) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business Combination on the closing date (net of redemptions), and (iii) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then:
| ● | the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to |
| ● | the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to |

The Newly Issued Price will be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, for issuances to the Sponsor or its affiliates, will be calculated without giving effect to any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon their exercise are not transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. So long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, they are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable. If transferred to any other holder, the Private Placement Warrants become redeemable by the Company and exercisable on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| ● |
Level 1—Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 2—Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. | |
| ● | Level 3—Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |
F-17
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs used:

| Public Warrants | 2 | $ | $ | |||||||
| Private Warrants | 3 | $ | $ | |||||||
| Private Warrants | 2 | $ | $ | |||||||
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. During the period there were transfers to/from Levels 1 and 2 for Public Warrants and to/from Levels 3 and 2 for Private Warrants.
The Company established the initial fair value of the warrants on May 12, 2022, using a binomial option pricing model. Proceeds from the sale of Units, the sale of Private Placement Warrants, and the issuance of Class B ordinary shares were allocated first to the warrants at their fair values, with the remaining proceeds allocated based on relative fair values to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity), Class A ordinary shares (permanent equity), and Class B ordinary shares (permanent equity).
Public warrant liability fair value measurements (Level 1, 2 and 3) are detailed in the roll forward table below.

The Public Warrants were initially measured using a binomial option pricing model and are valued at December 31, 2025 based on limited observable market prices (Level 2) and at December 31, 2024 based on quoted market prices (Level 1).
The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement. The close price of the Public Warrants on NASDAQ was used as the primary input to the fair value of the Public Warrants as of each relevant date subsequent to May 12, 2022. As of December 31, 2024, the measurement of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.
As of December 31, 2025, the subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. The last trading day in the Company’s fiscal year 2025 does not have significant trading volume and as a result, the Public Warrants were reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2.
F-18
The Private Placement Warrants as of December 31, 2024 are valued using a binomial option pricing model and are classified as Level 3. The primary unobservable input used in valuing the Private Placement Warrants is expected volatility, which is derived from observable warrant pricing of comparable “blank check” companies without an identified target.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements as of December 31, 2024:
| December 31, 2024 |

| Risk-free rate of interest | % | |||
| Volatility | % | |||
| Expected term (years) | ||||
| Expected term of warrant conversion | years | |||
| Probability of successful business combination | % | |||
At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has subsequently been measured by reference to the trading price of the Public Warrants, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement.
