We are a blank check company incorporated on September 25, 2024, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our “business combination” or “initial business combination,” with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as a “target business” or “target businesses”. Although we are not limited to target businesses in any specific industry or geographic location, we intend to initially focus our search on target businesses in Asia. However, we will not consummate our initial business combination with an entity or business in China or with China operations consolidated through a variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure. We have generated no revenues to date and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until, at the earliest, we consummate our initial business combination. Our management team is continuously made aware of potential business opportunities, one or more of which we may desire to pursue for an initial business combination. However, we have not selected any specific target business and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any target business with respect to an initial business combination with us. We believe our management team is well positioned to identify opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted returns and that our professional contacts and transaction sources, ranging from industry executives, private owners, private equity funds, family offices, commercial and investment bankers, lawyers and other financial sector service providers and participants, in addition to the geographical reach of our management team and their affiliates, will enable us to pursue a broad range of opportunities. --- While there is no restriction on the geographic location of the targets that we can pursue, we intend to initially focus on target businesses in Asia. In particular, we intend to focus our search for a target business on private companies in Asia that have compelling economics, clear paths to positive operating cash flow, and successful management teams that are seeking access to the U.S. public capital markets. --- While we may acquire a business in any industry, our focus will be middle market and emerging growth companies in the Financial Services, Technology, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical, Advanced Materials, and Clean Energy. We believe that our target industries are attractive for a number of reasons: Financial Services: The financial service industry is experiencing transformative growth, characterized by rapid technological advancements, regulatory changes, and evolving consumer expectations. We believe that the technological breakthroughs-including generative AI, blockchain, cloud migration, and cybersecurity enhancement-will open up new strategic opportunities. Technology: The technology sector outperformed the S&P 500® in 2023 and continued its strong performance into the first half of 2024. Pivotal and continuous advancements in AI have created compelling investment opportunities and are expected to fuel long-term sector growth. Agile private technology companies that have capitalized these advancements are well-positioned to scale financially and generate shareholder value. Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical: These industries represent a large target market with constant innovation and substantial investment in innovative technologies. In 2023, there are 1256 total transactions across venture rounds, IPOs, licensing deals, and M&A in the biopharma industry according to JP Morgan. We believe that the dynamics suggest extensive business combination opportunities. Advanced Materials: The global advanced materials market is projected to reach $582.3 billion revenue by 2030, growing at a CARG of 8.2%, according to P&S Intelligence. The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to lead the growth, attributed to the high concentration of manufacturers and robust industrial activities within the area. Clean Energy: The shift towards sustainable energy sources is accelerating the growth of the clean energy sector. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), clean energy investment increased nearly 50% from 2019 to 2023, reaching $1.8 trillion in 2023. Global clean energy deployment scaled new heights in 2023, with annual additions of solar PV and wind growing 85% and 60% respectively. This growth is supported by worldwide initiatives to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impacts. Our executive office is located in Singapore.
