    NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

     

    Art Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 22, 2025 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

     

    As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 22, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and placed in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

     

    The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 5, 2026. On January 7, 2026, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”).

     

    Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 825,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Art Technology Sponsor, LLC (together with Art Technology Advisors, LLC, collectively, the “Sponsor”), and Clear Street LLC (“Clear Street”), the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Placement Share” or, collectively, “Placement Shares”) and one-fourth of one warrant (the “Placement Warrant” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Placement Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of those 825,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 530,000 Private Placement Units and Clear Street purchased 295,000 Private Placement Units.

     

    The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,300,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000.

     

    Transaction costs amounted to $15,735,399, consisting of $4,400,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,780,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $555,399 of other offering costs.

     

    The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

    ART TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    MARCH 31, 2026

    (Unaudited)

     

    Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on January 7, 2026 and the over-allotment on January 26, 2026 an amount of $253,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in (i) U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or 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, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account at a U.S. chartered commercial bank, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account as described below.

     

    The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of permitted withdrawals). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

     

    The Public Shares subject to possible redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

     

    If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will proceed with a Business Combination only if it obtains the approval by way of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the issued ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, who, being present and entitled to vote at a general meeting of the Company, vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination or if they vote at all.

     

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the prior consent of the Company. The Company may waive this restriction in its sole discretion.

    ART TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    MARCH 31, 2026

    (Unaudited)

     

    The Sponsor and Clear Street have agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Placement Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Company’s Business Combination and (ii) their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering but has not completed its initial Business Combination within such 24-month period) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to Public Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering but has not completed its initial Business Combination within such 24-month period). Clear Street will have the same redemption rights as the Public Shareholders with respect to any Public Shares it acquires.

     

    The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering but has not completed its initial Business Combination within such 24-month period) to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

     

    The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.00 per share.

     

    In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

     

    The Company’s liquidity needs up to January 7, 2026 had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from Art Technology Sponsor, LLC of up to $300,000. On January 7, 2026, the Company repaid the total outstanding balance of the Promissory Note amounting to $194,453 (see Note 5). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $2,609,277 and working capital surplus of $2,646,296.

     

    On January 7, 2026, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 825,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and Clear Street, generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000. As a result of the Initial Public Offering, as of January 7, 2026, the Company had cash of $3,112,042 and working capital of $2,893,382 after depositing $220,000,000 into the Trust Account. On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000.

     

    In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $2,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement units at the option of the lender upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

     

    To fund working capital, the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $400,000. These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit in the Trust Account at the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company withdrew $0 in interest from the Trust Account for working capital purposes.

     

    In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements—Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the 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, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements.

     

    NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     

    Basis of Presentation

     

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

    ART TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    MARCH 31, 2026

    (Unaudited)

     

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2026, as well as the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on January 13, 2026 and January 29, 2026. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.

     

    Emerging Growth Company

     

    The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

     

    Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

     

    Use of Estimates

     

    The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements.

     

    Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

     

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

     

    The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $2,609,277 and $0 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

     

    Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

     

    As of March 31, 2026, substantially all the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S.Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are presented on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. There were no assets in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2025.

    ART TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    MARCH 31, 2026

    (Unaudited)

     

    To fund working capital, the Company has permitted withdrawals available up to an annual limit of $400,000. These permitted withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit in the Trust Account at the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company withdrew $0 in interest from the Trust Account for working capital purposes.

     

    Offering Costs

     

    The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, allocating the Initial Public Offering proceeds to the assigned value of the warrants and to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public Warrants and Placement Warrants, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.

     

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     

    The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

     

    Derivative Financial Instruments

     

    The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the unaudited condensed balance sheet date.

     

    Warrant Instruments

     

    The Company accounted for the Public Warrants and Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above will not be precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815.

     

    Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

     

    The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.

    As of March 31, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

     

    Gross proceeds   $ 253,000,000

    Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, March 31, 2026   $ 254,990,838  

     

    Income Taxes

     

    The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

     

    FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

     

    The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. 

     

    Net Income per Ordinary Share

     

    The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata among the outstanding shares. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from net income per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

     

    The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,531,250 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share, because in the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share, their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2026. All accretions associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

    Concentration of Credit Risk

     

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

     

    Recent Accounting Standards

     

    Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

     

    NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     

    In the Initial Public Offering on January 7, 2026, the Company sold 22,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000. As a result of the over-allotment option exercise by the underwriters, the 1,100,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

    NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

     

    Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Art Technology Sponsor, LLC and Clear Street purchased an aggregate of 825,000 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or $8,250,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement, of which 530,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by Art Technology Sponsor, LLC and 295,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by Clear Street. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Placement Share and one-fourth of one Placement Warrant. Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Placement Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless. In connection with the consummation of the private placement, Art Technology Sponsor, LLC forfeited 100,000 Class B ordinary shares and Clear Street purchased 100,000 Class B ordinary shares from the Company.

     

    NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     

    Founder Shares

     

    On August 27, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (the “Founder Shares”), in exchange for a $25,000 payment (approximately $0.003 per share) from Art Technology Sponsor, LLC to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On September 9, 2025, the Company issued an additional 50,000 Founder Shares to Art Technology Sponsor, LLC, and on October 28, 2025, the Company issued an additional 8,333 Founder Shares to Art Technology Sponsor, LLC, resulting in Art Technology Sponsor, LLC holding a total of 8,708,333 Founder Shares. All share and per share data has been retroactively presented. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,100,000 shares, which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised within the 45-day period following the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The amount of the forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will equal 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering and the private placement. In connection with the consummation of the private placement, Art Technology Sponsor, LLC forfeited 100,000 Founder Shares and Clear Street purchased 100,000 Founder Shares from the Company. On January 26, 2026, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, as such, the 1,100,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

     

    The Sponsor and Clear Street have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

     

    Administrative Support Agreement

     

    The Company entered into an agreement with Art Technology Sponsor, LLC, commencing on January 6, 2026 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay Art Technology Sponsor, LLC or its affiliate or designee a total of $30,000 per month for office space, utilities, administrative and shared personnel support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred and paid $90,000 in fees for these services.

    The Company has agreed, commencing on October 1, 2025 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay its Chief Operating Officer up to $8,333 per month. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred and paid $25,000 in fees for these services, of which such amount is recorded within general and administrative fees on the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations.

     

    In addition, the Company has agreed, commencing on January 5, 2026 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay its Chief Financial Officer up to $12,500 per month. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $37,500 in fees for these services, of which such amount is recorded within general and administrative fees on the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations.

    Promissory Note — Related Party

     

    On August 27, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Art Technology Sponsor, LLC (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000.

     

    The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) September 30, 2026 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed a total of $194,453 under the Promissory Note, which was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 7, 2026. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.

     

    Related Party Loans

     

    In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, loan the Company additional funds to fund additional working capital requirements and transaction costs (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible at the option of the lender into units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

     

    NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     

    Risks and Uncertainties

     

    The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Middle East conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Middle East conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

    Furthermore, changes to policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between not only the U.S. and China, but also between the U.S. and other countries in the international community. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.

     

    Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Middle East conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

     

    Registration Rights

     

    The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any Class A ordinary shares and warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares) that may be issued upon conversion of the units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on January 5, 2026, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Class A ordinary shares). These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have piggyback registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by the Company and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Clear Street may not exercise its demand and piggyback registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

     

    Underwriting Agreement

     

    The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,300,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 7, 2026. On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000.

     

    The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit or $4,400,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters were also entitled to deferred commissions of $0.40 per Unit from the gross proceeds of the 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,800,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to $0.60 per Unit from the gross proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,980,000. The deferred commissions will be released to Clear Street for its own account concurrently with completion of an initial Business Combination, but such deferred commissions shall be due and payable, with respect to up to 75% of such deferred commissions, in the Company’s sole discretion.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 825,000 and no shares of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding 25,300,000 and no shares subject to possible redemption), respectively.

     

    Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 8,708,333 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 1,100,000 shares were subject to forfeiture as of December 31, 2025 depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised within the 45-day period following the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The amount of the forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will represent 25% of the aggregate Founder Shares, Placement Shares and issued and outstanding Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering and private placement. On January 26, 2026, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, as such, the 1,100,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture as of March 31, 2026.

     

    Holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote on the appointment of directors prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law.

     

    The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, or at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 25% of the sum of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, and any private placement-equivalent shares and warrants underlying units issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

     

    Warrants — As of March 31, 2026, there were 6,531,250 Warrants outstanding, including 6,325,000 Public Warrants and 206,250 Placement Warrants. At December 31, 2025, there were no Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

     

    The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a warrant unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

    The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

     

    Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.    Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Warrants:

     

      ● in whole and not in part;

     

      ● at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

     

      ● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

     

      ● if, and only if, the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given to the warrant holders.

     

    If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

     

    In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the completion of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

     

    The Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable.

    NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

     

    Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

     

      ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

     

      ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

     

      ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

     

    The fair value of the Public Warrants is $1,707,750 or $0.27 per Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using a binomial or lattice model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:

     

        January 7, 2026  
    Volatility     20.0 %
    Risk free rate     3.7 %
    Dividend yield     0.0 %

    ART TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    MARCH 31, 2026

    (Unaudited)

     

    NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

     

    FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their unaudited condensed financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

     

    The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one reporting segment.

     

    The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income or loss and total assets, which include the following:

     

        March 31, 2026     December 31,
    2025
     
    Marketable securities held in Trust Account   $ 254,990,838     $    —  
    Cash   $ 2,609,277     $ —  

     

        For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026  
    General and administrative costs   $ 500,636  
    Interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account   $ 1,990,838  

     

    The CODM reviews general and administrative costs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative fees, as reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

     

    The CODM reviews the position of total assets to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities. The CODM is provided with details of cash and liquid resources available to the Company. Additionally, the CODM regularly reviews the status of deferred costs incurred to assess if these are in line with the planned use of proceeds raised from the Initial Public Offering.

     

    NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     

    The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the unaudited condensed balance sheet date through the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

    Overview

     

    We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 22, 2025 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account, 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 a 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 August 22, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, 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, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, 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 March 31, 2026, we had net income of $1,490,202, which consists of general and administrative costs of $500,636, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,990,838.

     

    21

     

     

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

     

    On January 7, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 825,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000.

     

    On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the over-allotment option) and the private placement, a total of $253,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. 

     

    Transaction costs amounted to $15,735,399, consisting of $4,400,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,780,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $555,399 of other offering costs.

     

    For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $673,970. Net income of $1,490,202 was affected by interest income on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,990,838. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $173,334 of cash for operating activities.  

     

    As of March 31, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $254,990,838 (including approximately $1,990,838 of interest ) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account for permitted withdrawals. 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 permitted withdrawals), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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 March 31, 2026, we had cash of $2,609,277. 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

     

    In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible at the option of the lender into units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

     

    We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, 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 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 consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

     

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     

    We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. 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.

     

    22

     

     

    Contractual obligations

     

    We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:

     

    Administrative Support Agreement

     

    The Company entered into an agreement with Art Technology Sponsor, LLC, commencing on January 6, 2026 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay Art Technology Sponsor, LLC or its affiliate or designee a total of $30,000 per month for office space, utilities, administrative and shared personnel support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred and paid $90,000 under this agreement.

     

    Service Agreements

     

    The Company has agreed, commencing on October 1, 2025 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay its Chief Operating Officer up to $8,333 per month. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred and paid $25,000 under this agreement.

     

    In addition, the Company has agreed, commencing on January 5, 2026 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay its Chief Financial Officer up to $12,500 per month. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $37,500 in fees under this agreement of which $29,667 was paid and $7,833 is included within accrued expenses within the accompany condensed balance sheets.

     

    Underwriting Agreement

     

    The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit or $4,400,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters were also entitled to deferred commissions of $0.40 per Unit from the gross proceeds of the 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,800,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to $0.60 per Unit from the gross proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,980,000. The deferred commissions will be released to Clear Street for its own account concurrently with completion of an initial Business Combination, but such deferred commissions shall be due and payable, with respect to up to 75% of such deferred commissions, in the Company’s sole discretion.

     

    Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

     

    Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

     

    The preparation of unaudited 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2026, we used a third part valuation expert to estimate the fair value of the Public Warrants, and did not identify any other accounting estimates.

     

    Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

     

    We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

     

    23

     

     

    Warrant Instruments

     

    The Company accounted for the Public Warrants and Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above will not be precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815.

     

    Net Income Per Ordinary Share

     

    The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses are shared pro rata among the outstanding shares. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from net income per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

     

    Recent Accounting Standards

     

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

      

    Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     

    Not required for smaller reporting companies.

      

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     

    Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     

    We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

     

    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 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

     

    Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     

    None

     

    Item 1A. Risk Factors

     

    Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

     

    Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

     

    On January 7, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one fourth of one warrant, where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.  We granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,300,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 24, 2026, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the sale on January 26, 2026 of an additional 3,300,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $33,000,000, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to $253,000,000.

     

    Clear Street LLC acted as sole book-running manager of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-291966). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on January 5, 2026.

     

    Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 825,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Placement Share” or, collectively, “Placement Shares”) and one-fourth of one warrant (the “Placement Warrants”). Each whole Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Placement Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of those 825,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 530,000 Private Placement Units and Clear Street purchased 295,000 Private Placement Units. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

     

    The Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

     

    Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Units, an aggregate of $253,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

     

    Transaction costs amounted to $15,735,399, consisting of $4,400,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,780,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $555,399 of other offering costs.
