Business Summary

Apex Treasury Corporation (the "Company") is a blank check company, also known as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 26, 2025 ¹. Its primary business objective is to effect a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more operating businesses (a "Business Combination") ². The Company has not engaged in any operations or generated any revenues to date, and its assets consist almost entirely of cash, classifying it as a "shell company" under the Exchange Act of 1934 ³. The Company expects to target opportunities in the blockchain & digital assets, crypto treasury strategies, AI, B2B software, data services, renewable energy, and build-to-rent real estate assets sectors ⁴.

The Company's core business model revolves around identifying and acquiring an attractive and undervalued private or public company within its target industries. Revenue generation is not expected until after the completion of a Business Combination ⁵. The Company generates non-operating income from interest earned on marketable securities held in its Trust Account ⁶. The primary customer segments are not applicable as the Company is a pre-Business Combination SPAC. The Company's strategy leverages its management team's deep M&A and capital markets experience, strong sourcing networks, and relevant industry expertise to identify high-potential investment opportunities and capitalize on secular trends such as the momentum of cryptocurrency and the reshaping of capital markets with digital assets ⁷.

The Company's financial structure as of December 31, 2025, shows total assets of $348,131,627 ⁸. This includes cash of $991,532 ⁹, prepaid insurance of $81,360 ¹⁰ (current) and $67,800 ¹¹ (long-term), and cash and securities held in the Trust Account of $346,990,935 ¹². Total liabilities amounted to $13,871,500 ¹³, comprising current liabilities of $83,500 ¹⁴ (accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8,500 ¹⁵ and accrued offering costs of $75,000 ¹⁶) and a deferred underwriting fee payable of $13,788,000 ¹⁷. The Company reported a net income of $2,019,588 for the period from June 26, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 ¹⁸. This net income was primarily driven by interest earned on cash and securities held in the Trust Account of $2,290,935 ¹⁹, partially offset by formation, general, and administrative costs of $271,347 ²⁰. Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share for both Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares was $0.09 ²¹. The Company had a working capital surplus of $989,392 ²² as of December 31, 2025.

The Company's IPO was consummated on October 29, 2025, with the sale of 34,470,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $344,700,000 ²³. Simultaneously, 8,894,000 Private Placement Warrants were sold at $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8,894,000 ²⁴. Of these, the Sponsor purchased 5,447,000 Private Placement Warrants and Cohen purchased 3,447,000 Private Placement Warrants ²⁵. Total IPO-related costs were $21,407,663 ²⁶, including $6,894,000 in cash underwriting fees, $13,788,000 in deferred underwriting fees, and $725,663 in other costs ²⁷. Following the IPO, $344,700,000 ²⁸ was placed in the Trust Account. The Sponsor initially purchased 9,583,333 Founder Shares for $25,000 ²⁹, or approximately $0.003 per share ³⁰. After transfers to directors and advisors and a share capitalization, the initial shareholders held an aggregate of 11,490,000 Founder Shares as of December 31, 2025 ³¹. The fair value of the Public Warrants at issuance was $9,996,300, or $0.58 per Public Warrant ³².

During the period from June 26, 2025, through December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $369,663 ³³. This was primarily due to the net income being offset by interest earned on Trust Account securities and changes in operating assets and liabilities ³⁴. Net cash used in investing activities was $344,700,000 ³⁵ due to the investment of cash into the Trust Account. Net cash provided by financing activities was $346,061,195 ³⁶, stemming from the proceeds of the Unit sale and Private Placement Warrants, partially offset by the repayment of a promissory note and payment of offering costs ³⁷. The Company also incurred and paid $40,000 ³⁸ in administrative service fees to its Sponsor and $20,000 ³⁹ to its Chief Financial Officer for services during the period.

Business Outlook & Financial Sufficiency

The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any earnings (less taxes payable), to complete its Business Combination ⁴⁰. If share capital or debt is used as consideration, remaining Trust Account proceeds will be used for working capital, other acquisitions, and growth strategies of the target business ⁴¹. The Company has a 24-month Completion Window from the closing of its IPO to complete an initial Business Combination ⁴². Management believes the $991,532 ⁴³ cash held outside the Trust Account, along with a working capital surplus of $989,392 ⁴⁴, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the duration of the Completion Window ⁴⁵. These funds are primarily allocated to identifying and evaluating target businesses, conducting due diligence, travel, and structuring/negotiating a Business Combination ⁴⁶.

The Company's business strategy is focused on identifying attractive and undervalued opportunities globally within its "Target Industries," which include blockchain & digital assets, crypto treasury strategies, AI, B2B software, data services, renewable energy, and build-to-rent real estate assets ⁴⁷. The management team, board of directors, and advisors are expected to leverage their deep M&A and capital markets experience, strong sourcing networks, and relevant industry expertise to identify and capitalize on high-potential investment opportunities ⁴⁸. This includes accessing maturing private equity fund assets and benefiting from macroeconomic trends such as the positive momentum of cryptocurrency and the reshaping of capital markets with digital assets ⁴⁹. The Company aims to identify established businesses with strong track records, entrenched competitive positions, committed management teams, low revenue risk, stable operations, visible growth, and strong cash flow generation ⁵⁰.

The Company may need to obtain additional financing to complete its initial Business Combination if the transaction requires more cash than available from the Trust Account or if a significant number of Public Shares are redeemed ⁵¹. Such financing could involve issuing additional securities or incurring debt ⁵². The Sponsor or affiliates may loan funds up to $1,500,000 ⁵³ to cover working capital deficiencies or transaction costs, which may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant ⁵⁴.

The Company is subject to certain operational and structural risks. Its ability to complete a Business Combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in capital and debt markets, inflation, interest rate fluctuations, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical instability, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East ⁵⁵. Compliance with new SEC rules relating to SPACs, including additional disclosures and potential Investment Company Act regulation, may increase costs and time needed for a Business Combination ⁵⁶. If deemed an investment company, the Company's activities could be restricted, making a Business Combination difficult ⁵⁷. The Company may instruct the trustee to liquidate Trust Account investments and hold funds in cash to mitigate Investment Company Act risk, which would reduce interest earned on funds ⁵⁸.

Management Sentiments & Priorities

Management's overall tone emphasizes the Company's strategic focus on identifying attractive and undervalued opportunities within its target industries, leveraging the team's extensive M&A and capital markets experience, strong sourcing networks, and relevant industry expertise. The Company expects to target opportunities in blockchain & digital assets, crypto treasury strategies, AI, B2B software, data services, renewable energy, and build-to-rent real estate assets sectors ⁶⁹. Management has highlighted its intention to use substantially all funds in the Trust Account to complete a Business Combination ⁷⁰ and believes that the $991,532 ⁷¹ cash outside the Trust Account, along with a working capital surplus of $989,392 ⁷², will be sufficient to operate for at least the duration of the Completion Window ⁷³. A key strategic priority is to identify established businesses with strong track records, entrenched competitive positions, committed management teams, low revenue risk, stable operations, visible growth, and strong cash flow generation ⁷⁴. Another priority is to capitalize on major macroeconomic trends, such as the positive momentum of cryptocurrency and the reshaping of capital markets with digital assets ⁷⁵.

Risk Factors

The Company faces material risks primarily related to its nature as a blank check company. A significant risk is the inability to complete an initial Business Combination within the 24-month Completion Window ⁵⁹, which would lead to liquidation and Public Shareholders receiving approximately $10.00 per share ⁶⁰, or less, with warrants expiring worthless ⁶¹. Geopolitical conditions, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and escalation in the Middle East and Southwest Asia, could materially adversely affect the search for a target business by impacting potential target companies' operations or financial condition ⁶². Competition from other SPACs, private equity groups, and public companies for attractive targets is high, and the Company's limited financial resources and redemption obligations may place it at a competitive disadvantage ⁶³. The ability of Public Shareholders to redeem shares for cash may make the Company's financial condition unattractive to potential targets, potentially preventing a desirable Business Combination ⁶⁴. Furthermore, the nominal purchase price paid by the Sponsor for Founder Shares ($25,000 ⁶⁵, or approximately $0.003 per share ⁶⁶) creates a potential conflict of interest, as the Sponsor could make a substantial profit even if the Business Combination causes the trading price of ordinary shares to materially decline, potentially incentivizing a riskier acquisition ⁶⁷. If the Company were to become a "covered corporation" in the future, the 1% U.S. federal excise tax on stock repurchases could be imposed on redemptions, reducing cash available to the target business ⁶⁸.
