Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2023, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. We consummated our Initial Public Offering on November 27, 2023 and are currently in the process of consummating the GrabAGun Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt. We expect to continue to incur significant costs for the consummation of the GrabAGun Business Combination and we cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On January 6, 2025, the Company entered into the GrabAGun Business Combination Agreement with GrabAGun, GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc., a Texas corporation fifty-percent owned by the Company and fifty-percent owned by GrabAGun (“Pubco”), Gauge II Merger Sub LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Target Merger Sub”) and, upon execution of a joinder, a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company to be named “Gauge II Merger Sub Corp.” (“Purchaser Merger Sub”).

Pursuant to the GrabAGun Business Combination Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Colombier Merger”) and, as a result of which, each issued and outstanding security of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of the Colombier Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for which the security holders of the Company shall receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, (ii) Target Merger Sub will merge with and into GrabAGun, with GrabAGun continuing as the surviving entity (the “GrabAGun Merger”, and together with the Colombier Merger, the “Mergers”), and as a result of which each issued and outstanding security of GrabAGun immediately prior to the effective time of the GrabAGun Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for which the security holders of GrabAGun shall receive shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Common Stock”). As a result of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the GrabAGun Business Combination Agreement, the Company and GrabAGun will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the GrabAGun Business Combination Agreement, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our 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 year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $5,758,466 which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,778,260, partially offset by operating expenses of $3,019,794.

For the period from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, we had a net income of $414,496, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $856,457, partially offset by operating expenses of $441,961.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 24, 2023, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,000,000 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $170,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, pursuant to the Warrant Subscription Agreement, we consummated the sale of 5,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $2,302,151. Net income of $5,758,466 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities of $8,778,260 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $717,643 of cash from operating activities.

On April 1, 2024 and December 4, 2024, we withdrew $1,000,000 from the Trust Account as a Permitted Withdrawal for working capital purposes and as of December 31, 2024, $2,000,000 had been removed from the Trust Account for the first annual and second annual permitted working capital withdrawal.

At December 31, 2024, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $177,634,717 (including approximately $9,634,717 of interest income). We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of Permitted Withdrawals and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account for any Permitted Withdrawals.

At December 31, 2024, we had cash of $905,040 held outside of the Trust Account. We 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 a Business Combination.

The Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently February 24, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024 and for the period from September 27, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023. 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.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than the (i) the Administrative Services Agreement and (ii) Services and Indemnification Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, we pay $10,000 per month to an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative support services. Under the Services and Indemnification Agreement, we pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $60,000 per month for the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Operating Officer.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting fee of $0.15 per Unit, or $2,550,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $5,950,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for a deferred underwriting fee. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely if we complete an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 have not identified any critical accounting estimates. The following are the critical accounting policies:

• Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
• Warrant Instruments
• Net Income per Ordinary Share

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have adopted several new accounting standards, including ASU 2016-13 on credit losses and ASU 2020-06 on simplifying certain financial instruments. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
