NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Piermont Valley Acquisition Corp (formerly Capitalworks Emerging Markets Acquisition Corp) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). We have reviewed, and continue to review, a number of opportunities to enter into a Business Combination with an operating business, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete a Business Combination with any of the target businesses that we have reviewed or with any other target business. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. Based on our business activities, we are a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering consummated on December 3, 2021 (“Initial Public Offering”) and search for a prospective target company, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined below) deposited in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year end.

On May 12, 2021, CEMAC Sponsor LP purchased an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share.

On December 3, 2021, the Company consummated an initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriter’s option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million before underwriting discounts and expenses (the “Public Offering”). Each “Unit” consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole Public Warrants may be exercised and no fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants may be traded.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 10,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, to CEMAC Sponsor LP, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of our failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60th business day after the closing of the Business Combination), and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Camber Base, LLC, an affiliate of Brown University (the “Forward Purchase Investor”) pursuant to which the Forward Purchase Investor, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, may, at the sole written election of the Forward Purchase Investor, purchase up to $20.0 million Forward Purchase Units, for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, in a private placement that will close substantially concurrently with the closing of our Initial Business Combination. One Forward Purchase Unit consists of one Forward Purchase Share and one-half of one Forward Purchase Warrant. The Forward Purchase Investor has agreed that it, and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates will not redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares held by any of them in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Each whole Forward Purchase Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except the Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The purchase of the Forward Purchase Units may be made regardless of whether any of our Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed by our Public Shareholders and are intended to provide us with a minimum funding level for our Initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in our Initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with our Initial Business Combination and for working capital in the post-transaction company.

On March 1, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Lexasure Business Combination Agreement”) with Lexasure Financial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (together with its successors, “Lexasure”), Lexasure Financial Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Pubco”), CEMAC Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), Lexasure Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a wholly- owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub” and, together with SPAC Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), CEMAC Sponsor LP, in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time for the shareholders of the Company and Pubco (other than the former Lexasure shareholders) (the “SPAC Representative”), and Ian Lim Teck Soon, an individual, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the former Lexasure shareholders (the “Seller Representative”) for an initial business combination (the “Lexasure Business Combination”).

On May 18, 2023 and May 22, 2023, certain of our unaffiliated investors (the “Investors”) entered into non-redemption agreements (“Non-Redemption Agreements”) with CEMAC Sponsor LP, pursuant to which the Investors agreed to (i) not redeem an aggregate of up to 4,399,737 previously-held Class A ordinary shares (the “Investor Shares”) in connection with the First Extension (as defined below) and (ii) vote the Investor Shares in favor of the First Extension. In exchange for these commitments from the Investors, CEMAC Sponsor LP agreed to transfer to the Investors, CEMAC Partners agreed to transfer to the Investors (i) an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares in connection with an extension until June 3, 2025 and (ii) to the extent our board of directors agrees to further extend the date up to three times by an additional month each time until March 3, 2024 to consummate its Business Combination, an aggregate of up to 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares, which includes the Class B ordinary shares referred to in clause (i), in each case, on or promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

On May 23, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved, by special resolution, a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must (1) consummate our Business Combination, (2) cease our operations except for the purpose of winding up if we fail to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares included as part of the Units sold in the Public Offering, with up to three optional additional extensions by an additional month each time, at the option of our board of directors, until March 3, 2024 (the “First Extension”). In connection with the First Extension, shareholders holding 18,751,603 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares at a per share redemption price of $10.51. As a result, approximately $197.2 million was removed from our Trust Account to pay such holders.

On February 27, 2024, in connection with the extension of the date by which the Company was required to consummate an initial business combination, the Company entered into non-redemption agreements with certain unaffiliated investors. Under these agreements, such investors agreed not to redeem their public shares, and the sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 307,500 founder shares, with a corresponding number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the participating investors. These arrangements were intended to support the maintenance of the minimum number of public shares required in connection with the extension.

On February 29, 2024, the Company held another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to further extend the date by which we must (1) consummate our Business Combination from March 3, 2024 to March 3, 2025, (2) cease our operations except for the purpose of winding up if we fail to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares included as part of the Units sold in the Public Offering (the “Second Extension”). In connection with the Second Extension, shareholders holding 3,036,666 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares at a per share redemption price of $11.07. As a result, approximately $33,616,850 was removed from our Trust Account to pay such holders.

On March 22, 2024, the parties to the Lexasure Business Combination Agreement entered into a Termination and Release Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to terminate the Lexasure Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

On April 19, 2024, CEMAC Sponsor LP entered into a securities purchase agreement with Vikasati Partners LLC (“Vikasati Partners” and together with CEMAC Sponsor LP, the “Prior Sponsors”), pursuant to which, among other things, Vikasati Partners would purchase (i) one Class B ordinary share of the Company, (ii) 3,925,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company and (iii) 7,605,000 private placement warrants of the Company from CEMAC Sponsor LP, the existing directors and officers of the Company would resign, and new directors and officers designated by Vikasati Partners would be appointed. On April 25, 2024, the parties closed the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement.

On June 10, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as the Company was not able to complete a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, or March 5, 2024, as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 (the “Rule”), the Company did not comply with the Rule and its securities were subject to delisting. In that regard, the Staff determined that the Company’s securities would be delisted from trading on Nasdaq and suspended at the opening of business on April 29, 2024. The Notice indicated that the Company had the right to appeal the Staff’s determination to a hearings panel. However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule5815(c)(1)(H), in the case of a company whose business plan is to complete one or more acquisitions, such as the Company, where the Notice is based on a failure to satisfy the requirement of the Rule to consummate a business combination within 36 months, the panel may only reverse the delisting decision where there has been a factual error applying the Rule. Based on the foregoing, the Company decided not to appeal the suspension.

On February 28, 2025, the Company held another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to further extend the date by which we must (1) consummate our Business Combination from March 3, 2025 to March 3, 2026, (2) cease our operations except for the purpose of winding up if we fail to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares included as part of the Units sold in the Public Offering (the “Third Extension”). In connection with the Third Extension, shareholders holding 1,066,745 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.91. As a result, approximately $11.64 million was removed from our Trust Account to pay such holders.

In February 2025, the Company changed its name from Capitalworks Emerging Markets Acquisition Corp to Piermont Valley Acquisition Corp.

Effective as of July 11, 2025, the Company, Vikasati Partners and Valleypark Road, LLC (“Valleypark”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things: (a) Vikasati Partners transferred to Valleypark an aggregate of 2,238,999 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company and 1 Class B Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company; (b) the Company, Valleypark and Vikasati Partners executed an amendment to the letter agreement originally executed in connection with the Company’s IPO; (c) Vikasati Partners gave to Valleypark the irrevocable right to vote the shares retained by it on its behalf and the Prior Sponsors agreed to take certain other actions on its behalf with respect to certain matters; and (d) the Prior Sponsors agreed to cancel an aggregate of 11,700,000 private placement warrants purchased by CEMAC Sponsor LP at the time of the IPO.

Effective as of August 14, 2025, our Board of Directors dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Effective as of August 15, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Aloba, Awomolo & Partners (“Aloba”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Marcum’s audit reports on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except for a paragraph relating to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through August 14, 2025, there were no disagreements or reportable events between us and Marcum, except that, as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and the restatement of previously issued financial statement

On August 14, 2025, Valleypark agreed to loan to us up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 for working capital purposes pursuant to a non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Note”) payable upon the consummation of a business combination. Upon consummation of a business combination, Valleypark will have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Note, in whole or in part, into warrants, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with our initial public offering. If we do not consummate a business combination, the Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the Note will be forgiven, except to the extent we have funds available outside the Trust Account.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded the waiver and forgiveness of certain liabilities by the Prior Sponsors and related parties in connection with the previously disclosed transition to a new sponsor. As part of this transition, the former sponsor waived and forgave amounts due to related parties, cancelled private placement warrants, waived notes payable, and forgave a related party note. These items were recorded as capital contributions and resulted in a reduction of the Company’s shareholders’ deficit. The decrease in shareholders’ deficit was partially offset by the net loss incurred during the period and accretion related to redeemable shares.  

Initial Public Offering

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 30, 2021. On December 3, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares” and the warrants included in the Units sold, the “Public Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000 (as described in Note 3).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 10,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $10,500,000.

On December 3, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 3,000,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option in full. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $30,000,000. Also, in connection with the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant for total gross proceeds of $1,200,000.

As of December 3, 2021, transaction costs amounted to $13,428,526 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) and $778,526 of other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Cash of $1,611 was held outside of the Trust Account on March 31, 2025 and available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 3, 2021, an amount of $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. However, to mitigate the risk of the Company being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), the Company has instructed Continental to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items until the earlier of consummation of its Business Combination or liquidation.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be and have been applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of associates (the “Charter”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., the Public Warrants), the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares (as defined in Note 7) classified as temporary equity were allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Class A ordinary shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the Company’s balance sheets until such date that a redemption event takes place. Redemptions of the Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Charter, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares held by them have agreed to vote in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment.

The Company originally had a 27-month period, from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to March 3, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)) as extended by the Extension (as defined in Note 10), unless further extended pursuant to the Charter, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they or any of their affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Prior Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.20 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Prior Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Prior Sponsors will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account

Redemption and Extension

On May 18, 2023 and May 22, 2023, the Company entered into non-redemption agreements with CEMAC Sponsor LP and certain unaffiliated third parties (individually, an “NRA Holder” and collectively, the “NRA Holders”) in exchange for the NRA Holder or NRA Holders agreeing either not to request redemption, or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand with respect to an aggregate of 4,399,737 Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering in connection with the 2023 Extraordinary Meeting (as defined below). In consideration of the foregoing agreement, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of a Business Combination, (i) the Sponsor (or its designees) will surrender and forfeit to the Company, for no consideration, an aggregate of 1,099,935 Class A ordinary shares (the “NRA Forfeited Shares”) and (ii) the Company shall issue to the NRA Holders a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the NRA Forfeited Shares.

On May 23, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2023 Extraordinary Meeting”), at which the Company’s shareholders approved, among other things, an amendment to the Charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination to March 3, 2024, and to permit the Board, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than March 3, 2024 (the “Extension”). In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, the holders of 18,751,603 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.51 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $197,192,734, in connection with the 2023 Extraordinary Meeting. As a result of the approvals at the 2023 Extraordinary Meeting, the Company deposited into the Trust Account $50,000 per month, or portion thereof, that was needed to complete a Business Combination, for up to an aggregate of $450,000. On June 6, 2023, the first $50,000 was deposited into the Trust Account. On July 3, 2023, August 3, 2023, September 13, 2023, October 11, 2023, November 1, 2023 and December 11, 2023, respectively, the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh payments of $50,000 were deposited into the Trust Account. For the information on the subsequent deposits made to the Trust Account, please refer to “Note 10 — Subsequent Events” below.

On May 23, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,749,999 Class A ordinary shares to CEMAC Sponsor LP, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares held by CEMAC Sponsor LP (the “Founder Conversion”). The 5,749,999 Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Prospectus.

Going Concern Consideration

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $53,174 and a working capital deficit of $180,537. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company’s management has determined that these liquidity risks, as well as if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the Public Shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s management has determined that the Company does not have funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Charter. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics) may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. This market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between nations, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against certain countries. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of these types of risks on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these types of risks could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the above uncertainties.
