Note 1—Organization and Plan of Business Operations

 

Bold Eagle Acquisition Corp. (formerly Spinning Eagle Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 22, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“business combination”).

 

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a business combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that can benefit from its management team’s established global relationships and operating experience. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 22, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and the Company’s search for a business combination, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 23, 2024. On October 25, 2024, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Class A ordinary shares” or “public shares”) and one right (“Eagle Share Right”), with each Eagle Share Right entitling the holder to receive one twentieth (1/20) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of a business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On December 9, 2024, the Company closed the issuance and sale of 800,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) in connection with the underwriters partially exercising their Over-Allotment Option. The Over-Allotment Option Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 350,000 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement to Eagle Equity Partners IV, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $3,500,000, which is described in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company completed the private placement of an additional 8,000 Private Placement Shares to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $80,000 (together with the private placement which occurred simultaneously to the Initial Public Offering, the “private placement”).

 

Transaction costs amounted to $12,283,324 consisting of $2,580,000 of net upfront underwriting discounts ($3,870,000 of upfront underwriting discounts less $1,290,000 reimbursement from the underwriters), $9,030,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $673,324 of other offering costs.

 

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, including the Over-Allotment Option exercise and the private placement, $258,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). Following their deposit into the Trust Account, such proceeds have been initially invested only in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act (as defined below) which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended business combination and, may at any time be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a business combination. The Company must complete one or more business combinations with having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a business combination. 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares in connection with the completion of a business combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. 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 shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of amounts released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000) and taxes paid or payable). The Class A ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a business combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a business combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any public shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a business combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a business combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its 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 a business combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that 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 Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement 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 Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a business combination within the completion window (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other material 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 in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination.

 

The Company will have within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or such longer period of time as may be provided in an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association approved by a vote of the public shareholders) (the “completion window”) to complete a business combination. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the completion window, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less taxes paid or payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the public shares and completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and directors have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the completion window. However, if the Sponsor or the Company’s executive officers or directors acquire public shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such public shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a business combination within the completion window. 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 completion window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the 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 share ($10.00).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 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 $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes paid or payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply 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”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor 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.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $192,592 in cash, and a working capital of $123,594. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), loan proceeds from the Sponsor of up to $600,000 under the Amended and Restated Formation and Regulatory Expenses Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5) and up to $400,000 under the Initial Public Offering Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5). As of December 31, 2025, there was $542,975 outstanding under the Amended and Restated Formation and Regulatory Expenses Promissory Note. On October 25, 2024, the Initial Public Offering Promissory Note was repaid in full. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement held outside of the Trust Account, including $1,290,000 of reimbursements from the underwriters for certain expenses and fees. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, paying stock exchange listing fees, paying amounts due under the Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement (as defined in Note 5), paying director and officer liability insurance premiums, paying legal and other service providers, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. On April 8, 2025 and August 21, 2025, the Company withdrew $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, of interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account for working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,000,000 in remaining interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account available to be withdrawn for working capital requirements in its second year following the Initial Public Offering.

 

The Company is a special purpose acquisition company and must complete its initial Business Combination by October 25, 2026. Although the Company plans to complete its initial Business Combination before such date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so by such date. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASC”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that because such mandatory liquidation date is less than 12 months away, there is substantial doubt that the Company will operate as a going concern.

 

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 25, 2026. Management plans to consummate a Business Combination prior to October 25, 2026; however, there can be no assurance that one will be completed.
