Customers
Pelican does not sell products or services to end customers in the normal operating sense; its counterparties are investors, sponsors, advisors, and the target business involved in the proposed combination. The economic purpose of the structure is to provide a public-market listing path and transaction capital for an operating company that wants to merge into the SPAC vehicle.

Strategy
Pelican’s strategy is to complete an initial business combination and transition from a blank check vehicle into a public operating company. The disclosed merger structure, support agreements, and investor materials show that the company is focused on securing approvals, satisfying closing conditions, and aligning stakeholders around the transaction.
The SPAC only creates long-term value if it successfully merges with an operating business.
The transaction depends on votes from Pelican shareholders and support from counterparties.
The structure requires conversion from a Cayman SPAC into a Texas corporation before closing.
Geography
Pelican is incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and is in the process of domestication to Texas as part of the proposed transaction. Its business activity is centered in the United States because the SPAC is listed in U.S. markets and the merger structure uses Texas entities and Nasdaq as the intended public listing venue.
Risks
Pelican’s main risk is that it may fail to complete a business combination, which would leave the SPAC without an operating business and could trigger liquidation or redemption outcomes. The transaction also depends on shareholder votes, regulatory filings, and the actions of merger counterparties, while SPAC structures carry typical risks around redemptions, timing, and dilution from founder shares and transaction expenses.
The company has no operating business and depends on closing a merger to create value.
