Monitor the filing of the proxy statement/registration statement on Form F-4 and the shareholder vote timeline. Key risk is shareholder redemptions reducing the trust account balance below the level needed to fund operations post-closing. The lock-up provisions on 50% of shares for six months (or until a $12.50 price target is met) may affect near-term trading liquidity.

Risk Factors
- Shareholder redemptions could reduce the trust account balance below the $5 million expense cap, potentially requiring additional financing.
- Failure to obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals (including HSR Act) could delay or prevent closing.
- The tax deferral treatment for Futuremain shareholders under Korean law is a condition that could trigger termination if not achievable.
- Nasdaq listing approval for the combined company's shares is a condition to closing.
- The lock-up agreement restricts trading for certain shareholders for up to six months, which may limit selling pressure but also liquidity.
