IQM Finland merger and $134M PIPE reshape Real Asset Acquisition (RAAQ)
Real Asset Acquisition Corp. reported net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven mainly by $1.46 million of interest on the $178.6 million held in its trust account, partially offset by $248,185 of general and administrative costs.
The SPAC has $838,494 of cash outside the trust and 17,250,000 Class A and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. It signed a business combination agreement with IQM Finland Oy, targeting a third-quarter 2026 closing supported by a $134 million PIPE financing at $10.00 per ADS.
The company must complete a business combination by January 30, 2027 or liquidate, and management notes substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next year despite the pending IQM transaction.

Insights
RAAQ’s quarter is dominated by the IQM deal and timeline risk.
Real Asset Acquisition Corp. remains a pre-revenue SPAC, so the key development is the signed business combination agreement with IQM Finland Oy. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, funded by the trust cash and a $134 million PIPE at $10.00 per ADS.
Financially, RAAQ generated $1.46 million of interest on $178.6 million of trust assets and ended the quarter with $838,494 of operating cash, while general and administrative expenses reached $248,185. These figures show typical SPAC economics, where interest income more than offsets operating costs.
However, the company must close a business combination by January 30, 2027 or liquidate. Management explicitly cites substantial doubt about going concern within one year of issuance. Actual outcomes now hinge on securing shareholder and regulatory approvals for the IQM transaction and on redemptions that will determine final cash available at closing.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated on December 9, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and identifying a target for the Business Combination (defined 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 on marketable securities from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and sale of Private Placement Warrants (defined below), as well as cash equivalents held in the operating account. 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 April 28, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 30, 2025, an amount of $
Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $
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 Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) 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, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income earned thereon (initially anticipated to be $
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law 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 (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. 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 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the 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
The Sponsor has agreed to waive redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held and any Public Shares they may have acquired during or after the Initial Public Offering in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, except that Public Shares held by the initial shareholders will be subject to mandatory redemption upon any diminution of the Trust Account in connection with an extension, and such shares will be entitled to redemption at a price equal to the per-share redemption value then held in the Trust Account in connection therewith.
The Company will have until January 30, 2027, 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Completion Period”). However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within the Completion Period, the Company may, but is not obligated to, by resolution of the board if requested by the initial shareholders, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by seeking shareholder approval to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval for an extension, holders of Public Shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the Company’s initial Business Combination, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon (which interest shall be net of amounts not previously released to the Company pursuant to permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the time to complete a Business Combination shall not be extended beyond 21 months without a shareholder vote. The Underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, 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 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 (i) $
Business Combination with IQM Finland Oy
On February 22, 2026, the Company and IQM Finland Oy, a limited liability company (Fi. osakeyhtiö) incorporated under the laws of Finland (“IQM”), IQM US LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IQM, and Eclipse QC S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of IQM, entered into a business combination agreement which will result in IQM becoming a public company and listing American Depositary Shares on one of the two leading U.S. stock exchanges.
The transaction is expected to be funded by a combination of the Company’s Trust Account and expected proceeds from a public investment in private equity. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026 and is subject to approval by the shareholders of the parties and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed financial statements are issued. The Company will have until the end of the Completion Period to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Completion Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation of the Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 30, 2027. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by January 30, 2027. Therefore, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these condensed financial statements are issued.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 3, 2026.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, marketable securities held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government treasury bills maturing within three months amounting to $
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company’s Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that have redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently the Company will only redeem its Public Shares. However, the threshold in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus the Public Shares are required to be presented outside of permanent equity. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value ($

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the condensed balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands, and the Company believes it is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2026 the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per Class A Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, assessing whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares. The Company also evaluates whether there are any provisions that could require net cash settlement, settlement in a variable number of shares, or settlement outside the control of the Company, including upon the occurrence of contingent events such as a change in control or tender offer, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each condensed balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the condensed statements of operations.
The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not precluded from equity classification and are accounted for as equity on the date of issuance.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Share Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the condensed statements of operations.

Founder Shares

The transfer of the Founder Shares to the Company’s advisors and directors is in the scope of ASC 718. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Company determined the conversion of such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination represents a performance obligation. Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature. The condition of the consummation of an initial Business Combination is considered not to be probable and, as such, the Company has not recognized the expense related to the issuance of these shares.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Level | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 9, 2024 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to the forward purchase agreements (or backstop agreements we may enter into or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.
Business Combination with IQM Finland Oy
On February 22, 2026, the Company and IQM Finland Oy, a limited liability company (Fi. osakeyhtiö) incorporated under the laws of Finland (“IQM”), IQM US LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IQM, and Eclipse QC S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of IQM, entered into a business combination agreement which will result in IQM becoming a public company and listing American Depositary Shares on one of the two leading U.S. stock exchanges (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
The transaction is expected to be funded by a combination of the Company’s Trust Account and expected proceeds from a public investment in private equity. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026 and is subject to approval by the shareholders of the parties and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026, were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, as described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on assets held in our Trust Account (defined below) after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net income of $1,218,294, which resulted from investment earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,458,072 and investment earnings on marketable securities held in the Operating Account of $8,407, offset by general and administrative expenses of $248,185. General and administrative expenses increased significantly compared to the prior year, primarily due to incremental operational costs following the Initial Public Offering, such as the monthly Sponsor fee, accounting and audit fees. In addition, we incurred expenses during the current period related to due diligence activities for the initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $52,849, which resulted from general and administrative expenses of $52,849.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $239,343. Net income of $1,218,294 was adjusted for earnings on marketable securities in our Trust Account of $1,458,072. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $435 of cash for operating activities primarily due to increases in prepaid expenses, offset by a decrease in accrued expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $—, as the net loss of $54,616 was adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities.
The Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 28, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units, (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ (as defined below) over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,450,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $5,450,000. Of the 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”) purchased an aggregate of 1,725,000 Private Placement Warrants and RAAQ Sponsor LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), purchased 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 30, 2025, an amount of $172,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account located in the United States (the “Trust Account”).
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the Trust Account will be sufficient to pay our taxes. We expect the only taxes payable by us out of the funds in the Trust Account will be income and franchise taxes, if any. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
20
After taking into consideration the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our 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, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” we have determined that the mandatory liquidation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to seek to complete the Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after January 30, 2027.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) Class B ordinary shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Founder Shares”), (ii) Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement and assuming $1,500,000 of working capital loans are converted into warrants, the Company will be obligated to register up to 12,700,000 Class A ordinary shares and 6,500,000 warrants. The number of Class A ordinary shares includes (i) 5,750,000 Class A ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Founder Shares, (ii) 5,450,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans. The number of warrants includes up to 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants and 1,500,000 warrants that may be issued upon the conversion of working capital loans. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting commissions. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
The Underwriters were entitled to (1) an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate, of which (i) $0.10 per Unit was paid to the Underwriters in cash at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) $0.10 per Unit was used by the Underwriters to purchase Private Placement Warrants, and (2) a deferred fee of $0.40 per Unit, or $6,900,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, and will be based on the amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account after shareholder redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

Sponsor Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, IQM, Sponsor and the directors, officers and advisors of the Company (collectively with the Sponsor, the “RAAQ Insiders”) entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, each RAAQ Insider agreed, among other things, at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders called to seek the approval by the shareholders of the Company (the “RAAQ Shareholders’ Approval”), or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s shareholders or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by thereto is sought, such RAAQ Insider (i) agreed to, if a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause any shares held by such RAAQ Insider to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum, and (ii) vote or cause to be voted the shares held by such RAAQ Insider in favor of the RAAQ Shareholders’ Approval or, if there are insufficient votes, in favor of adjournment. Each of the RAAQ Insiders also agreed, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement, to subject to certain transfer restrictions (i) 70% of American depositary shares of IQM (each, an “IQM ADS”) held by such RAAQ Insider immediately after the effective time of the merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), for a period starting on the date on which the closing (the “Closing”) occurs (the “Closing Date”) and ending on the earliest to occur of (a) one year after the Closing Date and (b) subsequent to the Closing, (x) the date on which the last sale of IQM ADSs equals or exceeds $12.00 per IQM ADS (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, share consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date and (y) the date on which IQM completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in IQM’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares of IQM (each, an “IQM Ordinary Share”) for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) all warrants to purchase one IQM Ordinary Share represented by one IQM ADS (each, an “IQM Warrant”) and any IQM Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of such warrants held by such RAAQ Insider immediately after the Merger Effective Time for 30 days after the Closing Date.
In addition, the Sponsor agreed to, effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, forfeit for no consideration (i) 1,375,000 Class B ordinary shares, and (ii) up to 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants of the Company held by the Sponsor, with the number of warrants forfeited determined by the amount of remaining Trust Account proceeds at Closing, such that (x) if remaining Trust Account proceeds are less than or equal to $100,000,000, all such warrants are forfeited, and (y) if remaining Trust Account proceeds exceed $100,000,000, the Sponsor retains a number of such warrants equal to 3,725,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the remaining trust fund proceeds and the denominator of which is $175,000,000 (the “Sponsor Forfeiture”).
IQM Shareholder Lock-up Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, IQM, the Company and certain shareholders of IQM entered into shareholder lock-up agreements (each, a “IQM Shareholder Lock-up Agreement”), pursuant to which each such shareholder of IQM agreed, among other things, (a) not to transfer any shares of IQM currently held by it or received by it in connection with the internal capital restructuring steps to be effected by IQM immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (the “IQM Capital Restructuring”) until the Closing, subject to customary exceptions; and (b) subject to the exceptions set forth in the IQM Shareholder Lock-up Agreement, during the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) one year after the Closing and (y) subsequent to the Closing, (A) the date on which the last sale price of IQM ADSs equals or exceeds $12.00 per ADS for 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing, or (B) the date on which IQM completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar change-of-control transaction, to subject any IQM Ordinary Shares held by it immediately after Closing and any other securities of IQM issued to it in connection with the Business Combination (including, as applicable, IQM ADSs) to certain transfer restrictions, in each case subject to customary permitted transfers.
IQM Shareholder Voting Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, IQM, the Company and certain shareholders of IQM entered into shareholder voting and support agreements (each, a “IQM Shareholder Voting Support Agreement”), pursuant to which each such shareholder of IQM agreed, among other things: (i) not to transfer any shares of IQM currently held by it or received by it in connection with IQM Capital Restructuring until the Closing, subject to customary exceptions; and (ii) at any meeting of IQM shareholders called to seek the approval of the IQM shareholders for the Business Combination (the “IQM Shareholders’ Approval”), or in connection with any written consent of IQM shareholders or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereto is sought, (a) if a meeting is held, to appear at such meeting or otherwise cause any shares of IQM held by such shareholder to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum, and (b) vote or cause to be voted the shares of IQM held by it in favor of the IQM Shareholders’ Approval or, if there are insufficient votes, in favor of adjournment.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, IQM entered into subscription agreements (each, a “PIPE Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with institutional and other accredited investors, including certain RAAQ Insiders (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, substantially concurrently with the Closing, an aggregate of approximately 13.4 million IQM ADSs, each IQM ADS representing one IQM Ordinary Share (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per ADS in a private placement, for an aggregate amount of approximately $134 million (the “PIPE Investment Amount”).
The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, IQM agreed to file with the SEC (at IQM’s sole cost and expense), within 30 calendar days after the date of Closing, a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
Form of Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the RAAQ Insiders, IQM and certain shareholders of IQM will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), effective upon the Closing, pursuant to which IQM will grant the RAAQ Insiders and certain applicable shareholders of IQM, registration rights and commit to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale shelf registration statement on Form F-1 within 30 calendar days following the Closing.
Form of Warrant Assignment Agreement
Prior to the Closing, IQM, the Company, Lucky Lucko, Inc. d/b/a Efficiency (the “Existing Warrant Agent”) and a successor warrant agent to be appointed in connection with the Closing (the “New Warrant Agent”) will enter into a warrant assignment, assumption and amendment agreement (the “Warrant Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will assign to IQM, and IQM will assume, all of the Company’s rights, interests and obligations under the Warrant Agreement dated April 28, 2025, by and between the Company and the Existing Warrant Agent (the “RAAQ Warrant Agreement”), New Warrant Agent will be appointed as successor warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the RAAQ Warrant Agreement will be amended and restated to, among other things, reflect the assumption of the RAAQ Warrants by IQM and the appointment of the successor warrant agent as described therein.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed under “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
