Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 22, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act”, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). On November 20, 2022, the Company changed its name from Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation V to Energy Opportunities Acquisition Corporation. On September 12, 2023, the Company changed its name to Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Corporation. The Company’s sponsor is Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Sponsor LLC (formerly known as Energy Opportunities Acquisition Sponsor LLC and Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor V LLC), a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

All activity for the period from March 22, 2021 (inception) through November 8, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Public Offering”), which is described below. All activity subsequent to the Public Offering relates to the Company’s search for a target business with which to complete its Initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering.

Consummation of Public Offering

On November 13, 2023, the Company consummated the Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 4,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000, which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Public Shares”) and one-half of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 9,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placement”), to Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Warrant Holdings LLC (the “Warrant Holdings Sponsor”) and the Company’s independent directors, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,400,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $20,396,788, including $12,075,000 in deferred underwriting fees, $6,900,000 in upfront underwriting fees, and $1,421,788 in other offering costs related to the Public Offering. In addition, cash of $2,500,000 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Public Offering on November 13, 2023, an amount of $345,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) of the proceeds from the Public Offering and Private Placement was deposited into a U.S. based trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the proceeds from the Public Offering held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Trust Account

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are held only as cash items in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Initial

Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares that have been properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if it has not consummated an Initial Business Combination by the earlier of (x) November 13, 2026 (or 36 months after the closing date of the Public Offering) and (y) 30 days after the date Warrant Holdings Sponsor fails to timely deposit additional funds in the Trust Account (the “Extended Termination Date”) or (B) with respect to any other provisions of the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the rights of holders of the Public Shares or pre-Initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date, or such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) may approve (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if it obtains the approval of an ordinary resolution for such Initial Business Combination under Cayman Islands law, or such higher approval threshold as may be required by law. However, in no event will the Company redeem the Public Shares if such redemption would cause the Public Shares to become a “penny stock” as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for Public Shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a holder of Public Shares will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such Public Shares will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 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 pay the Company’s taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the holders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, dissolve and liquidate, 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. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires Public Shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

Business Combination Agreement

On August 28, 2024, the Company, Agriculture & Natural Solutions Company Limited ACN 680 144 085, an Australian unlisted public company limited by shares and affiliated with Sponsor (“NewCo”), Merino Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Merino Merger Sub 2 Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 2”), Raymond T. Dalio, in his capacity as Trustee of the Raymond T. Dalio Revocable Trust (“Dalio”), Bell Group Holdings Pty Limited ACN 004 845 710, an Australian private company (together with Dalio, the “Sellers”), Australian Food & Agriculture Company Limited ACN 005 858 293, an Australian unlisted public company limited by shares (“AFA”), and, solely with respect to Section 2.07 of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), Sponsor (and together with the Company, NewCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, the Sellers and AFA, collectively, the “Parties”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

Termination of Business Combination Agreement

On April 10, 2025, pursuant to Section 11.01(a) of the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties entered into a Termination of the Business Combination Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Business Combination Agreement (the “Termination”). The parties mutually determined to terminate the Business Combination Agreement due to increasingly volatile equity market conditions. As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) other than the Limited Guaranty (as defined in the Termination Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are of no further force and effect, with the exception of certain provisions thereof, including, but not limited to, the Company’s obligation to pay certain expenses incurred by the parties in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions, which shall survive the Termination and be satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and/or the Termination Agreement, as applicable.

Additionally, each of the Parties has agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the related transactions, including the Termination, subject to certain exceptions, as set forth in the Termination Agreement. Pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and Sponsor paid an aggregate of $3,465,798 (or $5,510,620 AUD) to the Sellers.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Termination Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 10.8.

Extension

On November 10, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extension Meeting”), where shareholders approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend (the “Extension”) the date by which the Company must consummate a “Business Combination” (as defined in the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) from November 13, 2025 (or twenty four (24) months after the closing date of the Public Offering) to the Extended Termination Date and (ii) make certain other non-substantive changes to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that the Board deems appropriate (such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the Extension Meeting, shareholders holding 1,577,763 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $17.4 million (or approximately $11.01 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

On November 10, 2025, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note to Warrant Holdings Sponsor in the principal amount of up to $7,901,336.88 (the “Extension Promissory Note”) in connection with the Extension. Pursuant to the Extension Promissory Note, Warrant Holdings Sponsor will deposit $658,444.74 into the Trust Account beginning on November 13, 2025, and on the thirteenth day of each month thereafter (or if such day is not a business day, on the business day immediately preceding such day) until the earliest of: (a) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, (b) the Extended Termination Date or (c) the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company as determined by the Board. In the event Warrant Holdings Sponsor does not deposit such funds into the Trust Account, the Board will dissolve and liquidate the Company in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

If the Company consummates an Initial Business Combination, the Extension Promissory Note may be repaid, at Warrant Holdings Sponsor’s discretion, (a) in cash (including out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company), (b) by converting all or a portion of the amount loaned under the Extension Promissory Note into warrants for $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, or (c) with a combination thereof. If the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date, the Company will not repay the amount loaned under the Extension Promissory Note until 100% of the Public Shares have been redeemed and only in connection with the liquidation of the Company and to the extent funds are available outside of the Trust Account.

On November 12, 2025, the Company had an initial draw on the Extension Promissory Note of $658,444.74 for direct payment to the Trust Account. The outstanding balance under the Extension Promissory Note as of the date of this filing amounted to an aggregate of $658,444.74.

Risks and Uncertainties

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the Middle East and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Furthermore, there is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the United States and various other countries arising from changes that may be implemented by the new presidential administration, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Any actions taken by the United States’ federal government that restrict or could impact the economics of trade—including additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other similar measures—could have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargos, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and subsequent sanctions or related actions, including the imposition of tariffs, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which it may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $1. Following the closing of the Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through an amount from net proceeds from the Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants held outside of the Trust Account for existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.

If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an Initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an Initial Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of an Initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Initial Business Combination. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and initial shareholders may, but are not obligated to, provide it with loans up to $1,500,000 as the Company may require (“Working Capital Loans”). See Note 4. On August 28, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note

(“Working Capital Note”) of $1,500,000 to its Sponsor to cover cost incurred in connection with the proposed business combination and other working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2025, there was $838,405 outstanding under the Working Capital Note.

The Company has incurred and expects to incur additional significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans, including the proposed business combination. The Company has until the Extended Termination Date to complete a business combination or cease all operations other than those required for the purpose of liquidation. The Company’s management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor, and the Sponsor has the financial ability to provide such funds, that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. In connection with management’s evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the mandatory liquidation date raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued, if a business combination is not consummated by that date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after this date. The Company intends to complete a business combination before the mandatory liquidation date.
