We are a newly organized Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) company, also known as a blank check company or SPAC, formed by an affiliate of the serial SPAC issuer GigCapital Global, and incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 30, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to this offering. Our sponsor and its principals may from time to time become aware of potential business opportunities, one or more of which we may desire to pursue, for a business combination, but from the date of our incorporation through the date of this prospectus, there have been no substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, between any of our officers, directors, promoters and other affiliates on our behalf and any of their contacts or relationships regarding a potential initial business combination with our company. Additionally, we have not engaged or retained any agent or other representative to identify or locate any suitable acquisition candidate for us. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business, focusing on the aerospace and defense (“A&D”) services, cybersecurity and secured communications and quantum-based command and control systems, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine-learning (“ML”) industries. --- Our acquisition and value creation strategy is to identify, acquire and, after our initial business combination, further accelerate the growth of a company at the intersection of the A&D services, cybersecurity and secured communications and quantum-based command and control systems, and AI and ML, and to contribute to the global A&D economy. Our company’s unique expertise offers a comprehensive framework for a publicly traded company to foster both organic and strategic growth initiatives within its operational ecosystem. Our selection process is expected to leverage our management team’s broad and deep relationship network and unique expertise in the A&D services, cybersecurity and secured communications and quantum-based command and control systems industries, as well as in AI and ML. Market size, growth potential, competition, and barriers to entry are all essential factors to consider as we identify the acquisition target. Our team intends to utilize an in-depth evaluation process of potential acquisition targets based on financial performance, strategic fit, and potential synergies as well as the company’s products, and services to ensure our target is aligned. Although, the global A&D economy is highly regulated, and there are many legal and regulatory considerations that companies must consider, such as licensing requirements, export controls, and liability issues; our management team’s expertise and track record in the A&D ecosystem, and all related technologies, will help mitigate these factors by proactively advising potential target companies on navigating these issues. --- Our executive offices are located at 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303, and our telephone number is (650) 276-7040.
