## Customers

The company does not sell products or services to end customers; its counterparties are investors in the SPAC and, ultimately, a target business selected for a merger. Public shareholders provide the capital base, while the sponsor and private placement investors support the structure and economics of the transaction. The intended business combination target is expected to be a private or public company seeking access to U.S. capital markets or a redomiciling transaction.

- **Public shareholders** (primary) — Investors purchasing public units and shares for exposure to a future business combination.
- **Sponsor and private placement investors** (primary) — Sponsor-affiliated and representative investors providing private placement capital and alignment.
- **Business combination target** (primary) — Private or public operating company that would merge into the SPAC structure.
- **Target company shareholders** (secondary) — Owners of the acquired business who may receive listed equity in the combined company.

- Public investors buying units, shares, and warrants
- Sponsor and private placement investors funding the SPAC
- Potential merger targets in EMEA and LatAm
- Businesses seeking U.S. market access or redomiciling
- Target shareholders who may receive stock in the combined company

## Geography

Columbus Circle Capital Corp II is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, but its trust account is located in the United States and its securities are listed on Nasdaq. The company is actively looking at targets across EMEA and LatAm, including businesses that may benefit from redomiciling into the U.S. market. Its geographic exposure is therefore driven less by current operations and more by the location of future acquisition targets and the markets those targets serve.

- **United States** (100%) — Trust account and listing market are U.S.-based; no operating revenue disclosed.

- Incorporated in the Cayman Islands
- Trust account located in the United States
- Listed on Nasdaq in the U.S. market
- Target search focused on EMEA and LatAm
- Potential redomiciling into the U.S. market

## Strategy

The company’s strategy is to identify and complete a business combination with an attractive target, with emphasis on undervalued opportunities in EMEA and LatAm. It also seeks situations where a target may benefit from redomiciling into the U.S. market to improve capital access and broaden its investor base. Maintaining the ability to complete a transaction within the SPAC timeline is central to the strategy.

- **Identify a suitable acquisition target** (short-term) — The company has no operating business until a merger is completed.
- **Complete a business combination within the allowed period** (short-term) — SPAC structures depend on closing a transaction before deadline-driven consequences apply.
- **Target redomiciling opportunities** (medium-term) — U.S. market access can be a strategic rationale for certain cross-border transactions.

- Source undervalued targets in private and public markets
- Focus on EMEA and LatAm acquisition opportunities
- Pursue redomiciling situations into the U.S. market
- Complete a business combination within the SPAC deadline
- Preserve flexibility across industries and sectors

## Risks

The company faces the core SPAC risk that it may not identify, negotiate, and close a suitable business combination within the required timeframe. Its target search is also exposed to trade policy and tariff changes, which can reduce the attractiveness of cross-border targets or impair post-merger performance. As an early-stage blank check company, it has limited operating history and depends on market conditions, shareholder approvals, and transaction execution.

- **Failure to complete a business combination** [high] — The company has no operating business until a merger closes, so the SPAC must find and execute a transaction.
- **Shareholder redemptions** [high] — Redemptions reduce trust account capital and can weaken the post-vote capital base.
- **Tariffs and trade policy changes** [medium] — Cross-border targets in EMEA and LatAm may be affected by import/export restrictions and retaliatory tariffs.
- **Nasdaq listing and timing requirements** [high] — SPACs must satisfy exchange deadlines or face suspension and delisting risk.

- May fail to complete a business combination on time
- Shareholder redemptions can shrink trust capital
- Tariffs and trade policy can reduce target attractiveness
- Cross-border targets may face post-merger operating risk
- Early-stage structure has limited operating history

## Accounting

As a SPAC, the company’s accounting is dominated by trust-account investments, IPO-related equity instruments, and transaction costs rather than operating revenue. Key judgments include the classification and valuation of public warrants and private placement units, the accounting for interest income on trust assets, and the treatment of costs incurred while searching for a target. Because it has no operating revenue, investors should focus on how trust balances, redemptions, and deferred transaction costs affect the balance sheet and future merger economics.

- **Trust account accounting** — Affects asset composition, interest income, and redemption capacity
- **Warrant and unit classification** — Can affect balance sheet presentation and fair value measurements
- **Deferred offering and formation costs** — Influences reported expenses and equity balances
- **Going concern and transaction timing** — Affects disclosures, liquidity assessment, and merger planning

- Trust account investments and interest income
- Classification and valuation of warrants and units
- Deferred offering and transaction costs
- Redemption accounting and trust balance changes
- No operating revenue until a business combination closes
