The Second A&R M&A extends the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from January 16, 2026 to January 16, 2027.

 

The Second A&R M&A will become effective upon the Company’s filing thereof with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

 

The foregoing description of the Second A&R M&A does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
