## Overview

Lionheart Holdings is a blank check company formed in 2024 to complete a business combination with an operating business. It has no commercial operations or revenue of its own and instead holds IPO proceeds in trust while searching for a target acquisition.

## Products & services

• SPAC vehicle for a future business combination
• Public equity listing and capital-raising structure
• Trust account holding IPO and private placement proceeds
• Target screening, diligence, and merger execution

- **Blank check company / SPAC structure** (100%) — A public shell company created to acquire or merge with an operating business.

- SPAC vehicle for a future business combination
- Public equity listing and capital-raising structure
- Trust account holding IPO and private placement proceeds
- Target screening, diligence, and merger execution

## Customers

Lionheart Holdings does not sell products or services to end customers in the normal operating sense. Its economic counterparties are public shareholders, the sponsor, underwriters, and potential merger targets that may become the future operating business. The company’s value proposition is access to public-market capital and a faster route to listing for a target company.

- **Public shareholders** (primary) — Buy units/shares for redemption rights and optionality on a future deal.
- **Sponsor and affiliated parties** (primary) — Provide sponsor support, governance, and transaction execution resources.
- **Potential acquisition targets** (primary) — Engage with the SPAC as a route to become a public operating company.
- **Underwriters and service providers** (secondary) — Provide capital markets, legal, audit, and advisory services to the SPAC.

- Public shareholders who provide IPO capital and hold redeemable shares
- Sponsor and affiliates that support the SPAC structure
- Underwriters that distribute the units and earn deferred fees
- Potential acquisition targets seeking a public listing
- Post-combination investors who would own the operating business

## Geography

Lionheart Holdings is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, but its trust account and listing-related activities are centered in the United States. The company’s search for a business combination can extend across industries and geographies, but management notes that tariffs and trade policy can affect target selection. Because it has no operating business yet, geography mainly matters through listing venue, trust-account location, and the eventual target’s operating footprint.

- Incorporated in the Cayman Islands
- Trust account is located in the United States
- Listed and regulated through U.S. public markets
- Target search may span multiple countries and industries
- Tariff exposure can influence target selection

## Strategy

The company’s core strategy is to identify and complete an initial business combination before the deadline imposed by its charter and Nasdaq rules. Management may seek an extension of the combination period, but any extension requires shareholder approval and can trigger redemptions that reduce trust capital. The sponsor may also transfer its interest to another sponsor entity, which could change the management team and deal process.

- **Complete an initial business combination** (short-term) — The company has no operating revenue until a deal closes, so execution is existential.
- **Manage extension and redemption risk** (short-term) — Any extension vote can shrink the trust account and weaken capitalization.
- **Select a target resilient to trade-policy shocks** (medium-term) — Tariffs can reduce the attractiveness and post-close performance of targets.

- Find and close a business combination before the deadline
- Preserve trust capital while managing shareholder redemptions
- Maintain Nasdaq listing compliance and avoid delisting risk
- Use sponsor flexibility to support transaction execution
- Evaluate targets with tariff and trade-policy exposure in mind

## Risks

The company faces classic SPAC risks: failure to complete a business combination, shareholder redemptions that drain trust capital, and possible Nasdaq delisting if timing requirements are missed. It also has going-concern uncertainty because it may need additional financing to complete a deal and must manage legal, audit, and due diligence costs before any operating revenue exists.

- **Failure to complete an initial business combination** [critical] — The company exists solely to close a transaction; without one, it cannot become an operating business.
- **Going concern uncertainty** [high] — Management disclosed substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern without additional financing and a completed deal.
- **Shareholder redemptions and trust-account erosion** [high] — Extension votes or deal votes can trigger redemptions that reduce available cash.
- **Nasdaq compliance and delisting risk** [high] — Missing the Nasdaq 36-month requirement could lead to suspension or delisting.
- **Tariff and trade-policy exposure in target selection** [medium] — Trade policy changes can make certain targets unattractive or impair post-close performance.

- No operating revenue until a business combination closes
- Going-concern uncertainty if financing is insufficient
- Redemptions can reduce trust capital and deal flexibility
- Nasdaq timing rules can force suspension or delisting
- Tariffs and trade policy can narrow the target universe
- Deferred underwriting fees are payable only if a deal closes

## Accounting

As a pre-combination SPAC, the most important accounting issue is the classification and measurement of redeemable Class A ordinary shares and the trust account. The company also records deferred underwriting fees and deferred legal fees that become payable only if a business combination closes, which affects liabilities and transaction costs. Because it has no operating revenue, small changes in interest income, offering costs, and estimates can materially affect reported results.

- **Redeemable shares classification** — Temporary equity and redemption value
- **Trust account accounting** — Liquidity, asset presentation, and redemption proceeds
- **Deferred underwriting discount** — Future transaction cost and liability recognition
- **Deferred legal fees** — Accrued expenses and transaction costs

- Redeemable Class A shares affect equity vs. temporary equity presentation
- Trust account valuation drives balance sheet and redemption economics
- Deferred underwriting discount is payable only if a deal closes
- Deferred legal fees are recorded until business combination completion
- Interest income on trust investments is the main non-operating income
