Overview

We are a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 15, 2021, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 15, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination and negotiating and attempting to complete the proposed BBOT Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. 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 June 30, 2025, we had net income of $918,310, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,074,999 and interest earned on bank deposits of $3,604, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $4,064,267 and share-based compensation expense of $36,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $ 430,918, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,064,267 and interest earned on bank deposits of $1,159, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,121,848 and share-based compensation expense of $93,919.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $2,212,536, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,442,279, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $152,343 and share-based compensation expense of $77,400.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $3,312,978, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,648,794, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $219,044 and share-based compensation expense of $116,772.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the IPO, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor.

On February 13, 2024, we consummated the IPO of 18,400,000 Class A ordinary shares, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 2,400,000 Class A ordinary shares, at $10.00 per Class A ordinary share, generating gross proceeds of $184,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 509,000 Private Placement Shares to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds of $5,090,000.

Following the IPO and the private placement, a total of $184,000,000 ($10.00 per Public Share) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $8,180,834 in IPO related costs, including $1,840,000 of upfront cash underwriting fee, $5,520,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $820,834 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $1,033,546. Net income of $430,918 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,064,267 and share-based compensation of $93,919. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $2,505,884 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $647,098. Net income of $3,312,978 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,648,794, non-cash accrued offering costs adjustment of $81,000, and share-based compensation of $116,772. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $347,054 of cash for operating activities.

As of June 30, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $196,513,558 (including $12,513,558 of interest income). The Trust Account is either held in cash, deposited into an interest bearing or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, or invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or interests in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock 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.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of $664,231 and $1,697,777, respectively. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination, to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums and to pay an aggregate of $6,458 per month to our Sponsor for office space, utilities, administrative services and remote support services.

In order to finance working capital deficits or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes an initial business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital 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 the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Shares of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per private placement share at the option of the lender. Such shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares.

We believe that amounts not held in trust will not be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses to which such proceeds are allocated that are payable prior to the closing of our initial business combination, which we have 24 months from the consummation of the IPO to complete. If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a 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 business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

We have determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination by February 14, 2026, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an aggregate of $6,458 per month to our Sponsor for office space, utilities, administrative services and remote support services. We began incurring these fees on February 8, 2024 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of 3.0%, or $5,520,000 in the aggregate, of the gross proceeds of the IPO held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting commission. At our sole and absolute discretion, up to $500,000 of this amount may be paid to third parties that assist us in consummating our initial business combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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. We did not identify any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the six months ended f, 2025.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Recent Developments

The Appointment of Albert A. Holman, III

On February 8, 2025, Albert A. Holman, III, was appointed to serve as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s third annual meeting of shareholders. Following the appointment, Mr. Holman serves on the audit committee of the board of directors. In connection with his appointment to the board of directors, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 founder shares held by it to Mr. Holman.

In connection with this appointment, on February 8, 2025, Mr. Holman entered into an Indemnity Agreement, a Joinder to the Registration and Rights Agreement and a Letter Agreement in substantially the same forms as the respective agreements that the Company and the other directors entered into at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

The BBOT Business Combination Agreement

On February 28, 2025, the Company entered into the BBOT Business Combination Agreement by and among the Company, BBOT, and Merger Sub. The BBOT Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) the Company will de-register in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation, and (ii) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will be merged with and into BBOT, as a result of which BBOT will be the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The consummation of the Merger is referred to as the “Closing” and the date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

On June 17, 2025, Helix, BBOT and Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which parties agreed to (i) increase the number of directors to be appointed to the board of PubCo from seven directors to eight directors and (ii) amend the list of officers of PubCo to include a Chief Financial Officer to be mutually agreed on by the parties thereto.

The Domestication

The Domestication will occur on the day that is one business day prior to the Closing Date. Upon the Domestication, it is anticipated that the Company will change its name to “BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “PubCo” as of the time following the Domestication.

Immediately prior to the Domestication, (1) the Company will effect the redemption of Public Shares validly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn, (2) the Sponsor will forfeit the Sponsor Forfeited Shares (as defined below), and (3) each holder of each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share (other than the Sponsor Forfeited Shares) will irrevocably and unconditionally elect to convert, on a one-for-one basis, each Class B ordinary share held by it into one Class A ordinary share (the “Class B Share Conversion”). At the effective time of the Domestication, each outstanding Class A ordinary share (not including Public Shares validly submitted for redemption nor the Sponsor Forfeited Shares, but including Class A ordinary shares issued upon the Class B Share Conversion) will be reclassified as one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (the “PubCo Common Stock”).

The Merger

On the day of the Closing, the Merger will occur. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of BBOT’s capital stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (not including treasury shares and dissenting shares) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the corresponding number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to the Consideration Ratio (as defined below).

Additionally, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding BBOT stock option will become an option of PubCo containing the same terms, conditions, vesting and other provisions as are currently applicable to such BBOT stock options, provided that each option will be exercisable for the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to the Consideration Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of BBOT common stock subject to the option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price equal to the per share exercise price of the BBOT option divided by the Consideration Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Consideration and Structure

The “Aggregate Merger Consideration” to be issued to BBOT stockholders in connection with the Merger will be determined by dividing (a) $461,051,546 (the “Equity Value”) by (b) the price (the “Redemption Price”) at which each Class A ordinary share may be redeemed in connection with the BBOT Business Combination. The “Consideration Ratio” is the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued in exchange for issued and outstanding BBOT capital stock upon the Merger, and is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Merger Consideration by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares, as defined in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement.

Conditions to Closing

Under the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the BBOT Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation: (i) the absence of specified adverse laws, rules, regulations, judgments, decrees, executive orders or awards making the BBOT Business Combination illegal or otherwise prohibiting its consummation; (ii) a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the BBOT Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”) having been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement being in effect, and no proceedings for purposes of suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement having been initiated or threatened in writing by the SEC; (iii) the approval and adoption of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby by requisite vote of shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholder Approval”) and BBOT stockholders (the “BBOT Stockholder Approval”); (iv) the PubCo Common Stock having been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC as set forth in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement; and (v) the size and composition of PubCo’s board of directors will be as set forth in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement.

The obligations of the Company and Merger Sub to consummate the BBOT Business Combination are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i) material compliance by BBOT with its agreements and covenants under the BBOT Business Combination Agreement; (ii) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of BBOT, subject to customary bring-down standards; (iii) no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement) having occurred since the date of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement that is continuing; and (iv) the termination of certain agreements among BBOT and its stockholders.

The obligations of BBOT to consummate the BBOT Business Combination are further subject to additional conditions, including, among others: (i) material compliance by the Company and Merger Sub with their respective agreements and covenants under the BBOT Business Combination Agreement; (ii) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Merger Sub, subject to customary bring-down standards; (iii) the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement and Lock-Up Agreements; and (iv) the aggregate cash proceeds (the “Company Closing Cash”) from the Company’s Trust Account, together with the aggregate cash proceeds actually received from the PIPE Investments (as defined below), equaling no less than $400,000,000 (after deducting any amounts paid to Company shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the BBOT Business Combination and prior to the payment of transaction expenses).

Other Agreements

The BBOT Business Combination Agreement contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments, on or before the Closing, including, among others, the following:

Helix Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, on February 28, 2025, certain Company shareholders and Insiders (the “Helix Supporting Shareholders”), including the Sponsor, three investment vehicles managed by Cormorant Asset Management, LP (“Cormorant” and, the investment vehicles managed by Cormorant, the “Cormorant Funds”) each holding Class A ordinary shares, and the independent directors and an advisor of the Company each holding Class B ordinary shares (the “Helix Existing Investors”), entered into a support agreement with the Company and BBOT (the “Helix Support Agreement”). Under the Helix Support Agreement, among other things, each Helix Supporting Shareholder agreed to vote, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, all of such Helix Supporting Shareholders’ Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (i) in favor of each of the Parent Proposals (as defined in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement), and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company for consummation of the Domestication, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the BBOT Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the Parent Proposals; (ii) against any Alternative Proposal or Alternative Transaction or any proposal relating to an Alternative Proposal or Alternative Transaction (as defined in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, respectively); and (iii) in favor of any proposal sought by the Company to extend the deadline by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination. In addition, the Helix Support Agreement prohibits each Helix Supporting Shareholder from, among other things, selling, assigning or transferring any Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares held by such Helix Supporting Shareholder except to certain permitted transferees, until the earliest of (a) the effective time of the Merger, (b) such date and time as the BBOT Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) the liquidation of the Company; (d) the written agreement of each of the terminating Helix Supporting Shareholder(s), the Company and BBOT with respect to terminating the rights and obligations under the Helix Support Agreement of a specific Helix Supporting Shareholder or a subset of Helix Supporting Shareholders; and (e) the written agreement of all Helix Supporting Shareholders, the Company and BBOT to terminate the Helix Support Agreement in its entirety. Pursuant to the Helix Support Agreement, each of Cormorant Funds and its permitted transferees irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees not to submit any Class A ordinary shares owned by it for redemption in connection with the BBOT Business Combination. Additionally, the Sponsor and Helix Existing Investors will comply with their non-redemption obligations as specified in the Letter Agreement.

Further, if and only if the Company Closing Cash is less than $400,000,000, the Sponsor will forfeit a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock (the “Contribution Shares”) equal to (a) 3,360,000 multiplied by (b) one minus the number resulting from dividing (i) the Company Closing Cash by (ii) $400,000,000, with any fractional share rounded to the nearest whole number resulting from such product.

Each of the Sponsor and each Helix Existing Investor agreed to elect to convert their Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to the Domestication and to waive their rights under the Articles to have their Class B ordinary shares converted into Class A ordinary shares at a ratio of greater than one-to-one.

In addition, pursuant to the Helix Support Agreement, the Sponsor will, effective as of immediately prior to the Domestication and conditioned upon the Closing, forfeit and surrender to the Company such number of Class B ordinary shares (the “Sponsor Forfeited Shares”) held by the Sponsor equal to the quotient of (i) the difference between (A) the Redemption Price multiplied by 4,600,000 less (B) $46,000,000 divided by (ii) the Redemption Price.

BBOT Written Consent and Support Agreements

Concurrently and immediately prior to the signing of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, BBOT obtained and delivered to Company the written consents of a sufficient number of shares of BBOT capital stock required to approve the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, each ancillary agreement to which BBOT is a party, and the BBOT Business Combination.

Additionally, concurrently and immediately prior to the signing of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, the Company BBOT, and certain stockholders of BBOT (the “BBOT Supporting Stockholders”) entered into a support agreement (the “BBOT Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the BBOT Support Agreement, each BBOT Supporting Stockholder (i) agreed that each existing investor rights agreement of BBOT will automatically terminate upon the Closing, (ii) agreed not to make any proposal or offer that constitutes an Alternative Transaction, among other things, and (iii) waived and agreed not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent it may have in connection with the Merger.

The BBOT Support Agreement also prohibits the BBOT Supporting Stockholders from, among other things, selling, assigning or transferring any capital stock of BBOT held by the BBOT Supporting Stockholders except to certain permitted transferees, until the earliest of (a) the effective time of the Merger, (b) such date and time as the BBOT Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the written agreement of all BBOT Supporting Stockholders, the Company and BBOT to terminate the agreement in its entirety.

Subscription Agreement

In connection with the BBOT Business Combination, on February 28, 2025, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain qualified institutional buyers, institutional accredited investors, and other accredited investors, including Cormorant and other existing shareholders of the Company (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE investors, and the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of approximately $260,000,000 of PubCo Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price (the “PIPE Investments”). Cormorant Funds subscribed for an aggregate of $75,000,000 of PIPE Investments.

The obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Investments are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the PubCo Common Stock having been approved for listing on Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; (ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the BBOT Business Combination set forth in Article IX of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement having been satisfied or waived; (iii) the absence of specified adverse laws, rules, regulations, judgments, decrees, executive orders or awards making the PIPE Investment illegal or otherwise prohibiting its consummation; (iv) no subscription agreement, side letter, or other agreement or understanding with any other PIPE Investor having been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that benefits such other PIPE Investor unless each PIPE Investor has been offered the same benefits; (v) the Company having received not less than $200 million in cash from the PIPE Investments; and (vi) no BBOT Material Adverse Effect or Helix Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the BBOT Business Combination Agreement) having occurred.

Non-Redemption Agreement

In connection with the BBOT Business Combination, on February 28, 2025, the Company entered into non-redemption agreements with certain shareholders (the “Non-Redemption Agreements” and, such shareholders, the “Non-Redeeming Holders”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Non-Redeeming Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agreed, for the benefit of the Company, that neither it or its controlled affiliates will exercise any redemption rights under the Articles with respect to Class A ordinary shares held by such holder as of the date of the Non-Redemption Agreement (the “Non-Redeeming Shares”) at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company. The Non-Redeeming Holder also agreed to (i) not to transfer directly or indirectly the Non-Redeeming Shares held by it until earlier of (x) the Closing Date, (y) the termination of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (z) the termination of the Non-Redemption Agreement in accordance with its terms; and (ii) vote its Non-Redeeming Shares (A) in favor of the BBOT Business Combination Agreement, the Domestication and Merger and each other proposal brought by the Company in connection with the BBOT Business Combination and (B) in favor of any proposal brought by the Company to adjourn or postpone the shareholder’s meeting of the Company in connection with the BBOT Business Combination.

An aggregate of 450,900 Class A ordinary shares are subject to the Non-Redemption Agreements.

Lock-Up Agreement and Lock-Up Provisions of PubCo Bylaws

In connection with the Closing, the Sponsor, Cormorant Funds and the Helix Existing Investors will enter into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with PubCo.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor, Cormorant Funds, and each Helix Existing Investor will agree not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of PubCo Common Stock held by such holder after the Domestication until one year after the later of (i) the filing of the Form 10 Information (as defined in Rule 144(i)(3) of the Securities Act) with the SEC and (ii) the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”).

PubCo’s bylaws, which are expected to be adopted at the Closing, will also provide that BBOT stockholders who receive shares of PubCo Common Stock from PubCo as consideration pursuant to the Merger, or upon the settlement or exercise of warrants, stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards assumed, continued, or substituted by PubCo pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (provided that the lock-up does not apply to shares acquired in the Domestication or PIPE Investment, or in the public market or pursuant to a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act that occurs on or after the Closing), will not be permitted to transfer such shares of PubCo Common Stock (except for certain permitted transfers) following the Closing as follows: (i) stockholders who are employed at BBOT and held a position below the level of Vice President immediately prior to Closing (the “Employee Lock-Up Holders”) will be subject to lock-up during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the day that is the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) BBOT stockholders who are not Employee Lock-Up Holders will be subject to lock-up during the Lock-Up Period. If any lock-up obligation under PubCo’s bylaws is waived or repealed by PubCo’s board of directors, then PubCo’s board of directors will be required to also waive or repeal (as applicable) any lock-up obligation of each party under the Lock-Up Agreement.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, PubCo, Sponsor, Cormorant Funds, the Helix Existing Investors, and certain former stockholders of BBOT will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, PubCo will agree that, within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date, PubCo will file with the SEC (at PubCo’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of PubCo Common Stock held by or issuable to the parties thereto (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Such holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights, including underwritten demands.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the Helix Existing Investors in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the five year anniversary of the date of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement or (b) with respect to any holder party thereto, on the date that such holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined therein).

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

We are currently in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by a new U.S. presidential administration and accompanying regulatory activities and economic policies and events related thereto, ongoing military conflicts and geopolitical instability and inflation and interest rates.

U.S. and global markets have recently been experiencing volatility and disruption caused by economic uncertainty, including as a result international trade disputes and ongoing military disputes and related geopolitical uncertainty. International trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs by the Trump administration and threatened or implemented tariffs by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact the business of BBOT or another target business with which we seek to complete an initial business combination (collectively, a “Target”). Trade disputes could also adversely impact supply chains which could now or in the future increase costs for a Target or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies. Trade disputes can also be highly disruptive to global financial markets. The length and impact of the ongoing trade disputes and military conflicts are highly unpredictable. We are continuing to monitor the trade disputes, inflation, interest rates and the military conflicts and the impacts to global capital markets, to the business of our Target, and to our ability to complete our initial business combination.
