Registration filing summary
12 Oct, 2026Company overview and business model
Cayman Islands blank-check vehicle formed to combine with one or more businesses; no target selected or substantive target discussions begun. Search may span any industry, with expected focus where management expertise can add an advantage.
Strategy centers on proprietary sourcing through KingsRock’s network, complex transaction structuring, capital-markets expertise and operational improvement; target criteria include profitable growth, low leverage, recurring revenue and free cash flow potential.
KingsRock network includes 150+ members and more than 120 Senior Advisors with presence in 50 countries; advisors may assist with sourcing and value creation but have no obligation to present opportunities.
Nasdaq-listed combinations must meet an 80% trust-asset fair-value test; the post-transaction entity must acquire at least 50% of target voting securities or otherwise avoid investment-company registration.
Financial performance and metrics
Inception period through July 25, 2025: net loss $17,117; cash $0, assets $66,165 and working-capital deficit $30,782. No operating revenue or operations to date.
Auditor reported substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern; viability depends on completing the proposed offering, and the financial statements include no adjustments for that uncertainty.
As of July 25, 2025, founder shares were issued for $25,000; sponsor had borrowed $7,197 under a non-interest-bearing note with a $100,000 limit.
No operations or revenues are expected before a business combination; post-offering costs are expected to rise for public-company compliance and target due diligence.
Use of proceeds and capital allocation
$200.0m, or $230.0m with full over-allotment, is planned for a U.S. trust account; approximately $1.3m remains outside trust for working capital and search costs.
Outside-trust budget: $300,000 for transaction due diligence, $100,000 regulatory reporting, $360,000 office and administration, $100,000 consulting and travel, $200,000 D&O insurance and $240,000 general working capital.
Trust funds are initially limited to short-term U.S. Treasuries or qualifying Treasury money-market funds; funds released after a combination may pay redemptions, deferred fees, target consideration, debt service, acquisitions or working capital.
Up to $1.5m in sponsor or affiliate working-capital loans may be converted into post-combination units at $10 per unit, at the lender’s option; such conversion may dilute public holders.
