Overview
Chi Special Acquisition
Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Chi” or the “Company”) is a Delaware
corporation formerly known as Goldenstone Acquisition Limited incorporated as a blank check company for the purpose of entering into
a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to herein as our “initial business combination.” Our efforts to
identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region. The Company’s
sponsor is Goldenstone Holdings, LLC (“Sponsor”) which is controlled by Eddie Ni.
We believe that our management
team’s decades of experience in mergers and acquisitions for blank check companies, connections to the global business community
including Asia and North America, and experience in business development will allow us to source attractive deals and find compelling
investment opportunities from private and public sources to create value for stockholders, and give us a competitive advantage in pursuing
a broad range of opportunities in many industries.
Initial Public Offering
On March 21, 2022, we consummated
our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 5,750,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 750,000 Units
as a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of its over-allotment option (referred to herein as the “Over-Allotment”
and “over-allotment option”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one-half of one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per whole share and one right (“Right”), with each Right entitling the holder
to 1/10 of one share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsors and certain other investors of 351,250 units (the “Private
Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,512,500 (the “Private Placement”). The
Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that the holders have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the
Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the registration statement for the IPO (the “Registration
Statement”) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination. In addition, the warrants
included in the Private Units are not redeemable if held by them or a permitted transferee. Our Sponsors and the anchor investors were
granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Warrants. The Private Units were
issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.
Upon the closing of the initial
public offering on March 21, 2022, a total of $58,362,500 of the net proceeds from the IPO, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement
(including $2,012,500 of the underwriter’s deferred commission) was deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
established for the benefit of our public stockholders. As of March 31, 2026, a total of $18,666,931 including the net proceeds from the
IPO and the Private Placement as well as income accrued since the date of the IPO was being held in a trust account established for the
benefit of the Company’s public stockholders.
After the payment of IPO
transaction costs that amounted to $4,331,021, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting discounts and commissions, $2,012,500 of deferred
underwriting discounts and commissions (which amount will be payable upon consummation of our initial business combination, if consummated),
$519,403 of other offering costs, the $441,025 fair value of the 57,500 shares issued to the representative (the “Representative
Shares”) and the $208,093 fair value of the Unit Purchase Option sold to Maxim (the “UPO”) and considered as part of
the transaction costs, $1,045,061 of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and Private Placement was not deposited into the Trust Account
and was retained by us for working capital purposes. The Representative has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission
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 funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public
Shares.
The initial stockholders, officers, directors, or their affiliates
have agreed to loan us funds as may be required in order to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business
or consummating an intended initial business combination (the “working capital loans”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company
had $3,939,966 of borrowings under the working capital loans. Any future working capital loans would either be paid upon consummation
of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $600,000 of the notes may be converted
upon consummation of the Company’s business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company concluded
the embedded conversion feature within the working capital and extension loans is not required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a
liability in its entirely with the working capital and extension loans. In the event that the initial business combination does not close,
the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from
our trust account would be used for such repayment. Such loans, if and when issued, would be evidenced by promissory notes. As of March
31, 2026, we had $5,618 held outside of the Trust Account.

Upon the closing of the IPO,
the Company had an initial 12 months from the closing of the IPO to complete a Business Combination, and the Company may, but is not obligated
to, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination three times by an additional three months each time (for a total of
up to 21 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination,
the initial stockholders or their affiliates or designees were required to deposit into the Trust Account $575,000 ($0.10 per share in
either case), on or prior to the applicable deadline, for each three month extension (or up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 (or $1,725,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $0.30 per share if the Company extends for the full nine months).
On March 14, 2023, the Company
announced that it had extended the period of time by which it may complete an initial business combination by an additional three months
(the “Extension”). In accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a deposit of $575,000 was made
into the Trust Account established at the time of the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the public stockholders.
Pursuant to the Extension, the new deadline for completion of an initial business combination was extended to June 21, 2023.
On June 20, 2023, the Company
announced that it had extended the period of time by which it may complete an initial business combination by an additional three months
(the “Second Extension”). In accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, on June 14, 2023, a deposit
of $575,000 was made into to the Trust Account established at the time of the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit
of the public stockholders. Pursuant to the Second Extension, the new deadline for completion of an initial business combination was September
21, 2023.
On September 21, 2023, the
Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”)
to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to nine (9) times (the “Third Extension”),
each such extension for an additional one (1) month period (each an “Extension”), from September 21, 2023 to June 21, 2024
(such date actually extended being referred to as the “Extended Termination Date”). The Company’s stockholders also
approved an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 16, 2022 by and between the Company and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, to provide that the time for the Company to complete its initial business combination (the “Business
Combination Period”) under the Trust Agreement from September 21, 2023 to June 21, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”) provided
that the Company deposits into the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Trust
Account”) the sum of $100,000 for each one month extended. In addition, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the
“NTA Amendment”) to Article Sixth, Paragraph D of the Charter to modify the net tangible asset requirement (the “NTA
Requirement”) to state that the Company will not consummate any business combination unless it (i) has net tangible assets of at
least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such business combination, or (ii) is otherwise exempt from the provisions of Rule 419 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As a result, on September 21, 2023, a deposit of $100,000
was made into to the Trust Account established at the time of the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the public
stockholders and on October 20, 2023, November 20, 2023, December 20, 2023, January 20, 2024, February 20, 2023, March 20, 2023, April
20, 2023 and May 20, 2023, another deposit of $100,000 was made into to the Trust Account established at the time of the Company’s
initial public offering for the benefit of the public stockholders.
On June 18, 2024, stockholders approved a further amendment to the
Charter to extend the Combination Period, on a month-to-month basis to as late as June 21, 2025 provided that we deposit into the Trust
Account $50,000 for each one-month extension. On June 18, 2025, the Charter and the Trust Agreement were further amended to extend the
deadline to June 18, 2026 provided that deposits of at least $50,000 were made for each monthly extension and on March 17, 2026, the Charter
and Trust Agreement were further amended to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination until December
21, 2026, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from March 21, 2026 to December 21, 2026 provided that deposits
of $1,500 per each one-month extension are made. We have deposited payments to extend the Combination Period through July 21, 2026.
We now have until December
21, 2026 assuming all extensions are made, or such later time as our stockholders may approve in accordance with our Charter, to consummate
our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination by such date and do not obtain an additional
extension, we 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, 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 (net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s
board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware 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
public warrants, public rights, private warrants or private rights. The warrants and rights will expire worthless if the Company fails
to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the
deferred underwriting commission 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 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 $10.15.

The Company’s sponsor
is Goldenstone Holdings, LLC (“Sponsor”) which is controlled by Eddie Ni, our Chief Executive Officer. All of our executive
officers and four of five of our directors are US citizens although several of our directors have significant ties to China. These ties
may make us a less attractive partner with a non China-based target company, which may therefore limit the pool of acquisition candidates
available to us.
We may also be subject to
risks due to uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) laws
and regulations. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations
in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over
China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in
anti-monopoly enforcement. In particular, on February 17, 2023, the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”)
issued the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”)
and relevant supporting guidelines (collectively, the “New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings”), which came
into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company
in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per requirement
of the Trial Measures. On February 24, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration
of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”),
which also became effective on March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions set out rules, requirements
and procedures relating to provision of documents, materials and accounting archives for securities companies, securities service providers,
overseas regulators and other entities and individuals in connection with overseas offering and listing, including without limitation
to, domestic companies that carry out overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies
and securities service providers (either incorporated domestically or overseas) that undertake relevant businesses shall not leak any
state secret and working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interest, and a domestic company shall first
obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level, if
it plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide any documents and materials that contain
state secrets or working secrets of government agencies. Since the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings and the Confidentiality
and Archives Administration Provisions are newly promulgated, and the interpretation and implementation thereof are subject to change,
we cannot assure you that they will not apply to us in the future and if we are required to complete such filings, we will be able to
complete the relevant filings in a timely manner or fulfil all the regulatory requirements thereunder. At this time, it is highly uncertain
on how the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings and the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions or new
laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, and the potential impact such modified
or new laws and regulations will have on our capability to complete a business combination within a prescribed time period, accept foreign
investments, and post-combination entity’s ability to conduct its business or list on an United States (“U.S.”) exchange
or other foreign exchange. See “Part I - Item 1. - Permission Required from the PRC Authorities for a Business Combination and Relevant
PRC Regulations” starting on page 4 of this Annual Report.
Although we are not a PRC operating entity, we cannot assure you that the Chinese government will reach the same conclusion, or will not
promulgate new rules or regulations to govern us due to the ties our management and Sponsor have with China. The governing PRC laws and
regulations can change quickly with little advance notice, which may result in a material change in our search for a target business and/or
the value of our securities, or cause the value of our securities after we have completed our business combination to significantly decline
or be worthless, or substantially limit or completely hinder the post-combined company’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities
to investors. See “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors - Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could have a material adverse
effect on us.” on page 12 and “China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government
policies, laws and regulations may be quick with little advance notice and could have a material adverse effect on our business and the
value of our securities.” on page 13 of this Annual Report. The Chinese government may intervene or influence the operations of
the PRC operating entities at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas, which could result in a material
change in our operations and/or the value of our securities. In addition, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight
and control over offerings that are conducted overseas could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue
to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Changes in China’s
economic, political or social conditions, as well as possible interventions and influences of any government policies and actions; as
well as uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could have a material adverse effect on our operation and the value of our
securities. For instance, as the date of this Annual Report, we are not required to obtain any permission from China authorities nor received
any objection or restriction from Chinese authorities to continue listing our securities in U.S. exchanges, however, we cannot guarantee
that PRC authorities may not initiate any change in its law, rules or regulations, or governmental policies that would require permission
or scrutiny from relevant PRC authorities for our listing; or any law, regulation, rules and policies will become effective and enforceable
while we are seeking a target for the initial business combination that could substantially affect our operation and the value of our
securities may depreciate quickly or even become worthless. See “Part I - Item 1.- Permission Required from the PRC Authorities
for a Business Combination and Relevant PRC Regulations” on page 4. We are subject to risks and uncertainties about future actions
of the PRC government or law enforcement to refrain our activities or operation due to the significant ties to China of our sponsor, officers
and directors, which could limit our search for a target business and that can cause the value of our securities to significantly decline
or become worthless. See “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors - Even though we are not a China-based issuer, the sponsor and some our
officers and directors have significant ties to China. The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the
conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence its operations at any time, which could result in a material change in its operations
and/or the value of our securities. We are also currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges,
however, if the relevant PRC government agencies decide that we were required to obtain approval and we were denied permission from Chinese
authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on a U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest
of our investors.” on page 10 of this Annual Report.

Terminated Business Combination Agreement
On June 26, 2024, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement
(the “Agreement”) with Infintium Fuel Cell Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Pacifica Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Yan (Chris) Feng, solely in his
capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Infintium Securityholders (the “Securityholder Representative,”
and, together with Infintium, Goldenstone and Merger Sub, the “Parties”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and
into Infintium (the “Merger”), with Infintium surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldenstone. In connection
with the Merger, Goldenstone will change its name to “Infintium Fuel Cell Systems Holdings, Inc.” The board of directors of
Goldenstone has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of the Registrant once the
Registration Statement has been declared effective. The Company filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-4 Registrant Statement on May 14,
2025, however, there is no assurance that the Registration Statement will be declared effective or that the Business Combination will
be completed. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement, as amended, the Agreement could be terminated by either the Company or Infintium if the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement were not consummated by September 30, 2025. By letter dated October 1, 2025, Infintium informed the Company that it was exercising
its right to terminate the Agreement.
Prior Merger Agreement
On June 21, 2022, we entered
into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Roxe Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Roxe”),
the Registrant, Goldenstone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant,
and Amazon Capital Inc., solely in its capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Roxe Securityholders (the “Securityholder
Representative”) (collectively, the “Parties), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”)
with the Roxe as the surviving corporation of the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Subsequently, on September
30, 2022, we entered into a Joint Agreement to Terminate Merger Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Roxe, pursuant
to which (i) the Parties mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement. The termination was by mutual agreement of the Company and
Roxe pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Merger Agreement, and no termination fee or other payment is due to either party from the other
as a result of the termination.
By virtue of the termination
of the Merger Agreement, the Additional Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) were terminated in accordance with their terms.
Permission Required from the PRC Authorities
for a Business Combination and Relevant PRC Regulations
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware with no operations or subsidiaries in China. We are not a PRC operating entity and
currently do not own or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China. The China Securities Regulatory
Commission (the “CSRC”) has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether listing of our securities
are subject to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”),
and we believe that we are not required to obtain any licenses or approvals, under applicable PRC laws and regulations, for our listing
on Nasdaq and seeking a target for the initial business combination. Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which
was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million
users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. As we are a blank check company
and are not involved in the collection of personal data of at least 1 million users or implicate cybersecurity, we do not believe that
we are, or the post-combination entity will be, a “network platform operator(s)”, or subject to the cybersecurity review of
the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”). As of the date hereof, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning,
sanction or any regulatory objection to our listing from any relevant PRC authorities.
Further, we do not consider
ourselves a PRC operating entity or a China-based issuer, in particular, as specified in the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas
Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines promulgated by the CSRC on
February 17, 2023, which became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Administration Measures, an issuer is a “domestic
[Chinese] company” if the issuer meets both of the following conditions and thus, subject to the requirements for
domestic [Chinese] companies seeking to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, thereunder: (i) any of the total
assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entities of the issuer in the most recent accounting year accounts for
more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (ii)
its major operational activities are carried out in China or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers
in charge of operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China.” We are a blank check
company incorporated in Delaware with no operation of our own except searching for a non-China-based target for our initial business combination.
Furthermore, we do not own or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China, and during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2026, we did not have 50% or more of our total assets, net assets, revenues or profits located or generated in China.
As of the date of this Annual
Report, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made by us. We have not adopted or maintained any other cash management policies
and procedures and need to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions, if
any. Given that we are not a China-based issuer or expect to be a China-based issuer upon the consummation of our initial business combination,
we are not subject to, or are not expected to become subject to, the foreign exchange control rules of the PRC.
4
However, applicable laws,
regulations, or interpretations of the PRC may change, and the relevant PRC government agencies could reach a different conclusion. There
is also possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval
was not required when in fact it was. If prior approval was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required
or if applicable laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain the approval in the future,
we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from relevant Chinese regulatory authorities. These authorities may take actions that
could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well
as the trading price of our securities. In addition, any changes in the PRC law, regulations, or interpretations may severely affect our
operations. Further, if we are required by the Trial Measures to file with the CSRC, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete
such filings in a timely manner, or at all. The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making
it advisable for us, be subject to other severe consequences, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. To that extent,
we may not be able to conduct the process of searching for a potential target company. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory
requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer the securities, causing significant disruption
to our business operations, severely damage our reputation, materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
and cause the securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.
Business Strategy
Our business strategy is
to identify and complete a business combination that creates long-term value for our stockholders. We will seek to capitalize on the comprehensive
experience and contacts of our executive officers and directors in consummating an initial business combination. Our team is led by Eddie
Ni, our President.
Mr. Eddie Ni, our President
and Chief Executive Officer, brings us his more than 30 years of investment, business management and entrepreneurial experience. He has
been the chairman and chief executive officer of Windfall Group since December 2009. Windfall Group, a Ohio corporation, has a large business
portfolio involved in a variety of industries in U.S., including real estate, building supply, construction, and import/export of construction
materials and home building structures such as granite and cabinet. Under the management of Windfall Group, Mr. Ni has raised, invested,
and managed over hundred-million-dollar assets including commercial real estates across the Midwest United States, from Ohio and Illinois
to Georgia and South Carolina, and New York City and New Jersey. Mr. Ni was the chairman and chief executive officer of Direct Import
Home Décor from November 2003 to November 2009. Prior to Windfall Group and Direct Import Home Décor, from May 1990 to October
2003, Mr. Ni was the founder and chief executive officer of Ni’s Dynasty, which focused on investments in management of the food
and beverage industry.
With a management team with
experience in merger and acquisitions for blank check companies, connections to the global business community including Asia and North
America, and experience in business development, we believe we can source attractive deals and find compelling investment opportunities
from private and public sources to create value for stockholders. See Item 10, “Directors, Officers and Corporate Governance”
for complete information on the experience of our officers and directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs and will allocate their time to other businesses,
which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and
their other businesses. We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary
to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a In addition,
past performance by our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate
or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our initial business combination. Furthermore, the members of the management
team may not remain with us subsequent to the consummation of a business combination.
Competitive Advantages
Experienced Management Team with Proven Track
Record
We believe we have a broad
network of contacts and corporate relationships worldwide that makes us efficient at:
● Sourcing and evaluating businesses;
● Bridging cultural and language differences to negotiate and execute a transaction in a timely and professional manner; and
● Utilizing our worldwide networks and relationships with investment banks and family offices to identify attractive acquisition candidates in the Artificial Intelligent, Green Energy and Electronic Vehicle industries.
By leveraging our management
team’s industry expertise, performing disciplined due diligence, seeking downside protection, and providing post-acquisition value-add
capabilities, we believe that we will be able to acquire a target business that will achieve significant returns for investors.

Status as a Publicly Listed Company
We believe our structure
will make us an attractive business combination partner to prospective target businesses. As a publicly listed company, we will offer
a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering. We believe that target businesses will favor this alternative,
which we believe is less expensive, while offering greater certainty of execution than the traditional initial public offering. During
an initial public offering, there are typically expenses incurred in marketing, which would be costlier than a business combination with
us. Furthermore, once a proposed business combination is approved by our stockholders (if applicable) and the transaction is consummated,
the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’
ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we
believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better
aligned with stockholders’ interests than it would as a private company. It can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s
profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented management staffs.
Strong Financial Position and Flexibility
With the funds held in our
Trust Account, we can offer a target business a variety of options to facilitate a business combination and fund future expansion and
growth of its business. Because we are able to consummate a business combination using the cash proceeds from this offering, our share
capital, debt or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use an efficient structure allowing us to tailor the consideration
to be paid to the target business to address the needs of the parties. However, if a business combination requires us to use substantially
all of our cash to pay for the purchase price, we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business combination. Since
we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing.
Initial Business Combination Criteria
The focus of our management
team is to create stockholder value by leveraging its experience to improve the efficiency of the business while implementing strategies
to grow revenue and profits organically and/or through acquisitions.
Consistent with our strategy,
we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses.
While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these criteria and guidelines
should we see fit to do so:
● Advantage of the Niche Deal Size
We intend to acquire companies with
enterprise values of between $150 million and $500 million that are preferably already cash-generative. We believe we have greater access
to companies within this range and the negotiation process is generally less time consuming than companies that are larger.
● Predicable Revenue Visibility with Defensible Market Position
We intend to seek target companies that
are at an inflection point, such as those requiring additional management expertise, are able to innovate by developing new products or
services, or where we believe we can drive improved financial performance and where an acquisition may help facilitate growth.
● Benefits from Being a U.S. Public Company (Value Creation and Marketing Opportunities)
We intend to seek target companies that
offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for our stockholders. We intend to seek to acquire a target on terms and in a manner that
leverages our experience. We expect to evaluate financial returns based on (i) the potential for organic growth in cash flows, (ii) the
ability to achieve cost savings, (iii) the ability to accelerate growth, including through the opportunity for follow-on acquisitions
and (iv) the prospects for creating value through other value creation initiatives. Potential upside from growth in the target business’
earnings and an improved capital structure will be weighed against any identified downside risks.
● Exceptional management and governance.
We intend to seek companies that have
trustworthy, talented, experienced, and highly competent management teams. These companies may be led by entrepreneurs who are looking
for a partner with our expertise to execute on the next stage of their growth. For target companies that require new management, we will
leverage our team’s experience in identifying and recruiting top talent.

These criteria and guidelines
are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to
the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors, and criteria that our team may deem relevant.
In the event that we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria
and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to
our initial business combination, which, as discussed in this Form 10-K, would be in the form of tender offer documents or proxy solicitation
materials that we would file with the SEC.
Sourcing of Potential Business Combination
Targets
We believe that the operational
and transactional experience of our management team and their respective affiliates, and the relationships they have developed as a result
of such experience, will provide us with a substantial number of potential business combination targets. These individuals and entities
have developed a broad network of contacts and corporate relationships around the world. This network has grown through sourcing, acquiring
and financing businesses, relationships with sellers, financing sources and target management teams and experience in executing transactions
under varying economic and financial market conditions. We believe that these networks of contacts and relationships will provide us important
sources of investment opportunities. In addition, we anticipate that target business candidates may be brought to our attention from various
unaffiliated sources, including investment market participants, private equity funds and large business enterprises seeking to divest
noncore assets or divisions.
Our acquisition criteria,
due diligence processes and value creation methods are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular
initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors
and criteria that our management may deem relevant. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a
target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above
criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial business combination, which, as discussed in this Form 10-K, would be
in the form of tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials that we would file with the SEC.
Other Acquisition Considerations
We are not prohibited from
pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek
to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee
of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly
renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm that our initial business
combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
Unless we complete our initial
business combination with an affiliated entity, or our Board of Directors cannot independently determine the fair market value of the
target business or businesses, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, another independent
firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or from an independent accounting firm
that the price we are paying for a target is fair to our company from a financial point of view. If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders
will be relying on the business judgment of our Board of Directors, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used
to establish the fair market value of the target or targets, and different methods of valuation may vary greatly in outcome from one another.
Such standards used will be disclosed in our tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, related to our initial
business combination.
Members of our management
team may directly or indirectly own our common stock and/or private units following this offering, and, accordingly, may have a conflict
of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business
combination. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business
combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any
agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
Each of our directors and
officers presently has, and in the future any of our directors and our officers may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present acquisition opportunities to such entity.
Accordingly, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Delaware laws, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an acquisition
opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will need
to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity, and only present it to
us if such entity rejects the opportunity.
Our sponsor, officers and
directors may become an officer or director of other special purpose acquisition companies with a class of securities registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such officers and directors will
continue to have a pre-existing fiduciary obligation to us and we will, therefore, have priority over any special purpose acquisition
companies they subsequently join.

Initial Business Combination
At March 31, 2025, we had
until June 21, 2025 to consummate an initial business combination. However, we are seeking stockholder approval to extend further the
deadline for completion.
If stockholders do not approve
a further extension and we are unable to complete our initial business combination by June 21, 2025, we 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 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
(which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of
then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject
in each case to our obligations under Delaware 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 our public warrants, public rights, private warrants or private
rights. The warrants and rights will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period
and no further extension has been approved. You will not be able to vote on or redeem your shares in connection with any such extension.
We have structured our pending
initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own or acquire 100%
of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such
that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet
certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination
if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires
a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting
securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction
company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a
transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In
this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of
new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares
subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses
are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will
be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If our initial business combination involves more than one target business, the
80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses.
We have registered our securities
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We
have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent
to the consummation of our initial business combination.
Permission Required from the PRC Authorities
for a Business Combination and Relevant PRC Regulations
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware with no operations or subsidiaries in China. We are not a PRC operating entity and
currently do not own or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China. The China Securities Regulatory
Commission (the “CSRC”) has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether listing of our securities
are subject to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”),
and we believe that we are not required to obtain any licenses or approvals, under applicable PRC laws and regulations, for our seeking
a target for the initial business combination. Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which was promulgated on December
28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ individual
information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. As we are a blank check company and are not involved in the
collection of personal data of at least 1 million users or implicate cybersecurity, we do not believe that we are, or the post-combination
entity will be, a “network platform operator(s)”, or subject to the cybersecurity review of the Cyberspace Administration
of China (the “CAC”). As of the date hereof, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction or any regulatory
objection to our listing from any relevant PRC authorities.
Further, we do not consider
ourselves a PRC operating entity or a China-based issuer, in particular, as specified in the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas
Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines promulgated by the CSRC on
February 17, 2023, which became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Administration Measures, an issuer is a “domestic
[Chinese] company” if the issuer meets both of the following conditions and thus, subject to the requirements for
domestic [Chinese] companies seeking to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, thereunder: (i) any of the total
assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entities of the issuer in the most recent accounting year accounts for
more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (ii)
its major operational activities are carried out in China or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers
in charge of operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China.” We are a blank check
company incorporated in Delaware with no operation of our own except searching for a non-China-based target for our initial business combination.
Furthermore, we do not own or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China, and during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2026, we did not have 50% or more of our total assets, net assets, revenues or profits located or generated in China.

As of the date of this Annual
Report, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made by us. We have not adopted or maintained any other cash management policies
and procedures and need to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions, if
any. Given that we are not a China-based issuer or expect to be a China-based issuer upon the consummation of our initial business combination,
we are not subject to, or are not expected to become subject to, the foreign exchange control rules of the PRC.
However, applicable laws,
regulations, or interpretations of the PRC may change, and the relevant PRC government agencies could reach a different conclusion. There
is also possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval
was not required when in fact it was. If prior approval was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required
or if applicable laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain the approval in the future,
we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from relevant Chinese regulatory authorities. These authorities may take actions that
could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well
as the trading price of our securities. In addition, any changes in the PRC law, regulations, or interpretations may severely affect our
operations. Further, if we are required by the Trial Measures to file with the CSRC, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete
such filings in a timely manner, or at all. The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making
it advisable for us, be subject to other severe consequences, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. To that extent,
we may not be able to conduct the process of searching for a potential target company. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory
requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer the securities, causing significant disruption
to our business operations, severely damage our reputation, materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations
and cause the securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.
Enforceability of Civil Liability
Our officers and four of
five of our directors are US citizens and reside in the United States. The fifth director, Nan Sun, is a Chinese citizen and also resides
in the United States. Further, there is uncertainty if any officers and directors of the post-combination entity will be located inside
the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to effect service
of process within the United States upon us or any future director or officer that resides in China or Hong Kong, or to enforce judgments
in China, Macau or Hong Kong that are obtained in U.S. courts against us or them, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce
judgments in China, Macau, or Hong Kong that are obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities
laws against us or any future director or officer that resides in China or Hong Kong.
The recognition and enforcement
of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance
with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made
or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. At present, the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition
and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States and many other countries and regions, and you may have to incur substantial
costs and contribute significant time to enforce civil liabilities and criminal penalties in reliance on legal remedies under PRC laws.
As a result, there is no guarantee that a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S. Recognition and enforcement
in the PRC of judgement of United States courts in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult
or impossible.
Corporate Information
Our principal executive office
is located at 4360 E. New York Street, Aurora, IL 60504, and our telephone number is 330-352-7788.
We are 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, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but
not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any
golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less
active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107
of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging
growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging
growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this
offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated
filer, which means the market value of our common stock that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of
that year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities
during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning
Additionally, we are a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced
disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller
reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates equal
or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded
$100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700
million as of the end of that fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter.
