PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
| NeoCryo Inc | SINGAUTO Inc. |
PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
BLUEPORT ACQUISITION LTD
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 127,384,750 ORDINARY SHARES
AND 5,947,250 RIGHTS TO RECEIVE
991,208 ORDINARY SHARES OF
NEOCRYO INC
Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated [●], 2026
and first mailed to shareholders on or about [●], 2026.
The board of directors of Blueport Acquisition Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“BPAC” or “Parent”), has unanimously approved the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 1, 2026 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among BPAC, NeoCryo Inc, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of BPAC (the “Purchaser”), NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of BPAC (“Merger Sub”), and SINGAUTO Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SINGAUTO” or the “Company”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with applicable laws, the Merger Agreement provides for a business combination between BPAC and SINGAUTO, which will be effected in two steps as follows: (i) BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser (the “Reincorporation Merger”), with the Purchaser surviving the Reincorporation Merger as a public company (“PubCo”); and (ii) at least one business day after the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo as a consequence of the Reincorporation Merger, will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO continuing as the surviving company in the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger” and together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Business Combination”). The aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of SINGAUTO is $1,200,000,000, consisting of 120,000,000 newly issued PubCo ordinary shares, valued at $10.00 per share.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination, BPAC shareholders will receive the consideration specified below. At the Meeting (as defined below), BPAC shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:
| 1. | as a special resolution, approval of the Reincorporation Merger and the Reincorporation Plan of Merger, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-2 (the “Reincorporation Plan of Merger”), which we refer to as the “Reincorporation Merger Proposal” or “Proposal No. 1;” |
| 2. | as an ordinary resolution, approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1, which we refer to as the “Business Combination Proposal” or “Proposal No. 2;” |
| 3. | as an ordinary resolution, approval of the issuance of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in connection with the terms of the Merger Agreement, which will result in a change of control, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b) and (d), which we refer to as the “Nasdaq Proposal” or “Proposal No. 3;” |
| 4. | as an ordinary resolution, approval of certain governance provisions in the Amended PubCo Articles (as defined below), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, which we refer to as the “Advisory Governance Proposals” or “Proposal No. 4;” |
| 5. | as an ordinary resolution, approval of the NeoCryo Inc Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D, in connection with the Business Combination, which we refer to as the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” or “Proposal No. 5;” and |
| 6. | approval to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposals listed above, which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal” or “Proposal No. 6” and, together with the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, collectively, the “Proposals.” |
If the BPAC shareholders approve the Reincorporation Merger Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal, at the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, (A) all outstanding Units of BPAC (each consisting of (i) one BPAC Class A ordinary share and (ii) one BPAC Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination) will separate into their individual components of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights, and will cease separate existence and trading, and (B) BPAC Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into BPAC Class A ordinary shares, and the current equity holdings of the BPAC shareholders shall be exchanged as follows:
| ● | Each BPAC Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (other than any redeemed shares and any Dissenting Shares (as defined herein)) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and will be converted automatically into one validly issued PubCo ordinary share, which, unless explicitly stated herein, shall be fully paid; and |
| ● | Each BPAC Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be converted into a right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share (each a “PubCo Right”) and will cease separate existence and trading; and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each PubCo Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be cancelled and automatically converted into one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share; provided, however, that each holder entitled to receive a fraction of a PubCo ordinary share shall receive, in lieu of such fractional share, one PubCo ordinary share rounding down to the nearest whole PubCo ordinary share. |
Each BPAC Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger that is held by a shareholder who has validly exercised dissenters’ rights in respect of the Reincorporation Merger pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act and who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive PubCo ordinary shares in the Reincorporation Merger, but instead will entitle the holder thereof only to receive the payment determined in accordance with section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act with respect to such Dissenting Shares.
It is anticipated that, upon consummation of the Business Combination, BPAC’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 5.2% of the Combined Company, the Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares would retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.3% in the Combined Company and the SINGAUTO shareholders would own approximately 93.5% of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Combined Company. These relative percentages assume that none of BPAC’s existing public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, as discussed herein. If any of BPAC’s existing public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the anticipated percentage ownership of BPAC’s existing shareholders will be reduced. You should read “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Merger Agreement” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.
BPAC’s Units, Class A ordinary shares and public rights are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “BPACU,” “BPAC” and “BPACR,” respectively. PubCo intends to apply for listing of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol “NYO” in connection with the Business Combination. BPAC cannot assure you that the PubCo ordinary shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.
Proposals to approve the Reincorporation Merger and the Reincorporation Plan of Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the extraordinary general meeting of BPAC shareholders scheduled to be held on , 2026 at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, and virtually via live webcast at https:// (the “Meeting”).
Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by BPAC Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by PubCo to BPAC Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.
| Interest in Securities | Other Compensation | |||
| Sponsor | Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share for its BPAC Class B ordinary shares purchased in connection with BPAC’s formation. The Sponsor also paid $1,972,500, or approximately $10.00 per unit for its Private Placement Units purchased in connection with the IPO. The Sponsor currently holds 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 shares of BPAC Class B ordinary shares. At Closing, Sponsor will hold a total of 1,667,625 PubCo ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 1,437,500 shares converted from the BPAC Class B ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis, (ii) 197,250 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units, and (iii) 32,875 Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights underlying the Private Placement Units. | At Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SINGAUTO will use cash from the trust account to pay BPAC transaction expenses and to reimburse or pay Sponsor or its affiliates for any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor or its affiliates to the extent that such loans are not converted into the Private Placement Units of BPAC in connection with the Business Combination. BPAC currently estimates that the total amount payable for BPAC transaction expenses and any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor and its affiliates is approximately $[●] million. Any working capital loans to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination will either be repaid upon consummation of the Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, upon consummation of the initial business combination. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. BPAC has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor and its affiliates for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026, there were no out-of-pocket unpaid reimbursable expenses for which the Sponsor and its affiliates are awaiting reimbursement. On May 13, 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan BPAC up to an aggregate amount of $190,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the business combination (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from BPAC to the Sponsor. The Convertible Note is payable no later than the date on which BPAC terminates or consummates an initial business combination with a target business. The Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding unpaid obligations, in whole or in part, into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination. On November 11, 2025, BPAC entered into an administration service agreement with the Sponsor for a term of 15 months, pursuant to which BPAC agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. As of June 30, 2026, BPAC has incurred and accrued administrative service fees totaling $76,667. |
Investing in PubCo securities involves a high degree of risk. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should review the matters discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19.
As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, “BPAC,” “Parent,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Blueport Acquisition Ltd, and its subsidiaries, “PubCo” or “Purchaser” refers to NeoCryo Inc, the “Combined Company” refers to the combined company after the Business Combination, and “SINGAUTO” or “SingAuto” refers to SINGAUTO Inc. and its subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately $58.8 million in BPAC’s trust account (the “Trust Account”). On [●], 2026, the last sale price of BPAC Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq was $[●] per share.
Other than the Convertible Note, BPAC has not engaged in any material financing transactions since its initial public offering. No additional material financing transactions are expected to occur in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.
Pursuant to BPAC’s memorandum and articles of association, conditionally adopted by a special resolution passed on August 15, 2025 and effective immediately prior to the listing of the securities of BPAC on Nasdaq on November 12, 2025 (the “Existing Charter”), BPAC is providing its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their BPAC Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in BPAC’s Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest, less taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding BPAC Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the BPAC Units in BPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”), subject to the limitations described therein. BPAC estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $[●] at the time of the Meeting. BPAC’s public shareholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote against the Reincorporation Merger or do not vote at all. BPAC has no specified maximum redemption threshold under BPAC’s Existing Charter, except that BPAC will only consummate an initial business combination if its net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of such business combination. Holders of outstanding BPAC Rights do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.
BPAC is providing this proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to its shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the Meeting. Pursuant to the letter agreement dated November 11, 2025 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Initial Shareholders, who as of the Record Date owned 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares, or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares, have agreed to vote all their shares in favor of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal, which transactions comprise the Business Combination, and intends to vote for the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
Each shareholder’s vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Meeting, please submit your proxy card without delay. Shareholders may revoke proxies at any time before they are voted at the Meeting. Voting by proxy will not prevent a shareholder from voting at the Meeting if such shareholder subsequently chooses to participate in the Meeting.
In connection with the Business Combination, BPAC’s board obtained a fairness opinion from Revere Securities LLC dated May 1, 2026. For more information, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation - Fairness Opinion.”
After careful consideration, BPAC’s board of directors has approved the Business Combination and determined that the Proposals are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of BPAC and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that BPAC shareholders vote “FOR” approval of each of the Proposals. When you consider BPAC’s board of directors’ recommendation of these Proposals, you should keep in mind that BPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict or differ from your interests as a shareholder. See the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination,” “Compensation Received by Sponsor and its Affiliates,” and “BPAC’s Directors and Executive Officers — Conflicts of Interest” for additional information. The Sponsor will receive PubCo ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination. These securities issuances are expected to result in material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders who hold the securities until the consummation of the Business Combination. For more details on the interests of the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — BPAC’s shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of PubCo ordinary shares as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that BPAC’s current shareholders have on the management of PubCo.” and “Your ownership percentage in PubCo will be less than the ownership percentage you currently hold in BPAC.”
Although PubCo is not currently a public reporting company, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. PubCo intends to apply for listing of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol “NYO” to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that the PubCo ordinary shares are approved for listing on Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof). While trading on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that PubCo’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 for more information.
PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the U.S. Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”) and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.
PubCo will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, PubCo’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, although the executive officers and directors of PubCo will be required, pursuant to the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, to file Section 16(a) reports with the SEC to disclose their beneficial ownership of our securities. The principal shareholders of PubCo who are neither its officers nor directors, however, will remain exempt from Section 16(a) reporting requirements. Moreover, PubCo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides BPAC shareholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of BPAC shareholders. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.
NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not participate in the Meeting, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at, and the number of votes voted at, the Meeting.
You may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, by participating in the Meeting and casting your vote by hand or by ballot (as applicable) or by submitting a written revocation to [PROXY SOLICITOR], [ADDRESS], Attention: [_______], Telephone: [_______], that is received by the proxy solicitor before we take the vote at the Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank or brokerage firm, you should follow the instructions of your bank or brokerage firm regarding revocation of proxies.
BPAC’s board of directors unanimously recommends that BPAC shareholders vote “FOR” approval of each of the Proposals. When you consider BPAC’s board of directors’ recommendation of these Proposals, you should keep in mind that BPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict or differ from your interests as a shareholder. See the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination,” “Compensation Received by Sponsor and its Affiliates,” and “BPAC’s Directors and Executive Officers — Conflicts of Interest.”
On behalf of BPAC’s board of directors, we thank you for your support and we look forward to the successful consummation of the Business Combination.

There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated.

| ● | expectations regarding SINGAUTO’s strategies and future financial performance, including its future business plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and ability to invest in growth initiatives and pursue acquisition opportunities; |

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS
The following are answers to some questions that you, as a shareholder of BPAC, may have regarding the Proposals being considered at the Meeting. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the Proposals and the other matters being considered at the Meeting. Additional important information is also contained in the annexes to and the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.
| Q: | What is the purpose of this document? |

The board of directors of BPAC is soliciting your proxy to vote for the Business Combination and other Proposals at the Meeting because you owned BPAC ordinary shares at the close of business on [●], 2026, the “Record Date” for the Meeting, and are therefore entitled to vote at the Meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus summarizes the information that you need to know in order to cast your vote. |
| Q: | What is being voted on? |
| A: | Below are the Proposals that the BPAC shareholders are being asked to vote on: |

| A: | Proposal No. 1 — The Reincorporation Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for Proposal No. 1. |
Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for Proposal No. 2.
Proposal No. 3 — The Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for Proposal No. 3.

vi
| Q: | Are any of the Proposals conditioned on one another? |
| A: | The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 3. Proposals No. 1 and 3 are dependent upon approval of the Business Combination Proposal. It is important for you to note that in the event that any of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, Business Combination Proposal, or Nasdaq Proposal is not approved, BPAC will not consummate the Business Combination. The Adjournment Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Advisory Governance Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of any other Proposal. If BPAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination during the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate. |
| Q: | What will happen in the Business Combination? |
| A: | At the closing of the Reincorporation Merger, BPAC will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity. At least one business day after the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, at the closing of the Acquisition Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving such merger as the surviving entity. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, SINGAUTO will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. In connection with the Business Combination, the cash held in the Trust Account after giving effect to any redemption of public shares will be used to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Business Combination and repayment of working capital loans, if any, and any remainder will be for working capital and general corporate purposes of PubCo. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1. |
| Q: | What is the consideration being paid to SINGAUTO shareholders? |
| A: | The aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of SINGAUTO is $1,200,000,000, consisting of 120,000,000 newly issued PubCo ordinary shares, valued at $10.00 per share. A number equal to 10% of PubCo’s outstanding shares immediately after the Closing will be reserved and authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. At the closing of the Business Combination, each SINGAUTO ordinary share then issued and outstanding shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive PubCo ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. |
| Q: | Did the BPAC Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination? |
| A: | Yes. Although BPAC’s Existing Charter does not require BPAC to seek a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with a business combination unless the target is affiliated with the Sponsor or any of its directors or officers, BPAC retained Revere Securities LLC, a valuation services firm (“Revere”), to provide to the BPAC Board with an opinion, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions and limitations described in the opinion, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by BPAC is fair, from a financial point of view, to BPAC’s public shareholders and (ii) SINGAUTO has an aggregate fair market value equal to at least eighty percent (80.0%) of the assets held by BPAC in the Trust Account for the benefit of BPAC’s public shareholders (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). See “The Business Combination Proposal — Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion,” and the fairness opinion of Revere attached hereto as Annex C for more details. |
| Q: | What equity stake will current BPAC shareholders and SINGAUTO shareholders hold in the Combined Company after the closing? |
| A: | It is anticipated that upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders of 5,750,000 of BPAC’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares, the public shareholders would own approximately 0.8% of the Combined Company, our Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares and private placement shares will retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.4% of the Combined Company and the SINGAUTO shareholders will own approximately 97.8% of the Combined Company. |
These ownership percentages with respect to the Combined Company assume the maximum redemption by the BPAC public shareholders of 5,750,000 ordinary shares. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by each party in PubCo, and associated voting power, will be different.
The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of PubCo on a pro-forma basis immediately following the Business Combination:

| Q: | Do any of BPAC’s Sponsor, directors or officers have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination? |
| A: | In considering the recommendation of the BPAC Board to approve the Merger Agreement, BPAC shareholders should be aware that BPAC’s executive officers, directors and Sponsor have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of BPAC shareholders generally, including but not limited to the following: |
| ● | Since our Sponsor, officers and directors directly or indirectly own BPAC ordinary shares and BPAC Rights, our Sponsor, officers and directors have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor intends to transfer 25,000 of its founder shares to our Chief Financial Officer at the consummation of an initial business combination. Based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●], Mr. Kulwant Sandher, our Chief Financial Officer, will receive $[●] at Closing. If we do not complete our initial business combination, Mr. Sandher will not receive such compensation and all founder shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will become worthless. Accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. | |
| ● | Our Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) independent director to serve on PubCo’s five-person board of directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such service. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information. |
| ● | If an initial business combination is not completed within the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to liquidate. In such event: |
| ● | 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to BPAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.017 per share, or $25,000 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the founder shares, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the BPAC Class B ordinary shares if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
| ● | 197,250 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor for $1,972,500 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. At the consummation of the Business Combination, such Private Placement Units would have an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of $10.[●] per Unit on Nasdaq as of [●], 2026. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Private Placement Units if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
viii
| ● | Our Sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. Our sponsor and its affiliates, and our directors and officers will retain 1,667,625 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, representing ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the combined company, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders. Such ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●], based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. |
| ● | The Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other BPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the combined company following the Business Combination. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BPAC’s public shareholders who purchased shares in BPAC’s initial public offering, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BPAC’s Sponsor would have a gain of approximately $4.98 per share because it acquired the founder shares for a nominal amount. |
| ● | The Sponsor may make loans from time to time to BPAC to fund certain capital requirements. If our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. If we do not complete the Business Combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital 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. Since BPAC will not repay such loans if BPAC does not complete a business combination, a conflict of interest may arise. As of June 30, 2026, no such working capital loans were outstanding. |
| ● | If BPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor may be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for BPAC. If BPAC consummates an initial business combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims. |
| ● | The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on BPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. Unless we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors and insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account. If the proposed Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, BPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working capital if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed within the Combination Period. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, other than the Convertible Note, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates have not had any unpaid reimbursable expenses. |
| ● | The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of BPAC’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination covering BPAC’s current directors and officers. |
| ● | The exercise of BPAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interests. |
| ● | None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
| ● | BPAC’s officers and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
| ● | In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. |
| ● | The fact that the Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their BPAC ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. |
The foregoing interests present a risk that the Sponsor, BPAC’s officers and directors, and their affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with the holders of BPAC public shares. As such, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to holders of BPAC public shares rather than to liquidate.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

Q: Do any of SINGAUTO’s directors or officers have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination?
A: SINGAUTO’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the BPAC shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:
| ● | Certain of SINGAUTO’s existing directors and officers are expected to serve as directors and officers of PubCo following the Business Combination and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. Specifically, Mr. Yuqiang Liu, SINGAUTO’s founder, chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is expected to serve as chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PubCo following the Business Combination. Mr. Zi (Nigel) Nai, SINGAUTO’s Chief Financial Officer, is expected to serve as PubCo’s Chief Financial Officer following the consummation of the Business Combination. See “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company After the Business Combination” for more information. |
| ● | Immediately following the Business Combination, Mr. Yuqiang Liu is expected to beneficially own approximately 6,041,124 PubCo ordinary shares, representing approximately 4.7% of PubCo ordinary shares under the no redemption scenario and approximately 5.0% under the maximum redemption scenario. In addition, Mr. Zi (Nigel) Nai will be granted 500,000 stock options of PubCo upon consummation of the Business Combination. See “Beneficial Ownership of PubCo Securities Following the Business Combination” for more information. |
| ● | Mr. Yuqiang Liu also has relationships with certain entities that have entered into transactions or arrangements with SINGAUTO. SINGAUTO has historically had related-party balances, advances, expense settlements, purchases and other transactions involving Mr. Liu and entities controlled by or affiliated with him, including Beijing Xinshiya Technology Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Beijing, and SYMY Intraco Pte. Ltd. In addition, SINGAUTO and its subsidiaries have entered into certain intellectual property-related and restructuring arrangements involving related parties, including the intangible asset and demo car purchase agreement with Xinshiya Beijing, the intellectual property cooperation agreement and related deed of waiver involving Xinshiya Beijing, the Intellectual Property License Agreement with Xinshiya Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Shanghai, and the spin-off of Singauto Limited (HK) and Xinshiya Shanghai to an entity controlled by Mr. Liu. These arrangements may give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interest because Mr. Liu has interests in both SINGAUTO and certain counterparties to these arrangements. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” and “Information About SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” for more information. |
These interests may create potential conflicts of interest or may present considerations that are different from, or in addition to, those of BPAC shareholders generally in determining whether to support the Business Combination.
Q: What are the possible sources and extent of dilution that public shareholders who elect not to redeem their public shares will experience in connection with the Business Combination?
A: The following table presents the net tangible book value per share at various redemption levels assuming various sources of material probable dilution (but excluding the effects of the Business Combination transaction itself).

| (2) | Assumes that holders of 25% of public shares, or 1,437,500 public shares, will exercise their redemption rights for an aggregate payment of $14.7 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of $10.23 per share) from the Trust Account. |
| (3) | Assumes that holders of 50% of public shares, or 2,875,000 public shares, will exercise their redemption rights for an aggregate payment of $29.4 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of $10.23 per share) from the Trust Account. |
| (4) | Assumes that holders of 75% of public shares, or 4,312,500 public shares, will exercise their redemption rights for an aggregate payment of $44.1 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of $10.23 per share) from the Trust Account. |
| (5) | Assumes that all public shareholders, holding 5,750,000 public shares, will exercise their redemption rights for an aggregate payment of $58.8 million (based on the estimated per-share redemption price of $10.23 per share) from the Trust Account. |
| Q. | What is the anticipated liquidity position of the combined company following closing the Business Combination? |
| A: | SINGAUTO and BPAC believe that the combined liquidity at Closing of PubCo on a consolidated basis will be approximately $103.4 million assuming no redemptions and approximately $46.1 million assuming maximum redemptions, offset by: |
| (i) | approximately $1.2 million of anticipated transaction expenses of BPAC; and |
| (ii) | approximately $1.4 million of anticipated transaction expenses and $19.7 million debt of SINGAUTO. |
Following the closing of the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions, PubCo would receive approximately $103.4 million of net proceeds. At this level, PubCo’s management believes that PubCo would have resources sufficient to fund the commercialization and production of its S1 and V1 vehicle platforms. Assuming redemptions at a 50% level, net proceeds would be reduced to $74.7 million. At this level, PubCo’s management expects that PubCo would have resources sufficient to fund initial commercialization activities and production preparations for its S1 and V1 vehicle platforms; however, additional funds may be required to fully scale production and commercialization. Last, if redemptions are at maximum, net proceeds would be reduced to $46.1 million. At this level, PubCo’s management expects that PubCo would have resources sufficient to fund near-term commercialization activities for its S1 and V1 vehicle platforms; however, additional funds would be required to fully fund production and commercialization.

| Q: | When and where is the Meeting? |
| A: | The Meeting will take place on [●], 2026, at [●] [a.m./p.m.], Eastern time, at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, and virtually via live webcast at https://[●]. We encourage shareholders to attend the Meeting virtually. |
| Q. | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
| A: | Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you shall receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you shall receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your BPAC ordinary shares. |
| Q: | Who may vote at the Meeting? |
| A: | Only holders of record of BPAC ordinary shares as of the close of business on [●], 2026, Record Date for the Meeting, may vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 5,947,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Please see “The Meeting — Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote” for further information. |
| Q: | What is the quorum requirement for the Meeting? |
| A: | Shareholders representing not less than one-third of the votes of the BPAC ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Meeting must be present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy in order to hold the Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. BPAC ordinary shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum if the shareholder (i) is present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, or (ii) has properly submitted a proxy card or voting instructions through a broker, bank or custodian. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the board of directors of BPAC may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present. |
| Q: | May the Sponsor, BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in connection with the Business Combination? |
| A: | In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor, BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of public shares the Sponsor and BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq. However, any such purchases will be subject to limitations regarding possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares and they will not make any such purchases if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M or the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or on any terms prohibited by the tender offer rules, to the extent applicable. Any such purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are no higher than the price offered through our redemption process. However, the Sponsor and BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, and their respective affiliates have no current commitments, plans, or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of the Sponsor, or BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such public shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of redemptions to provide additional financing to the combined company following the closing of the Business Combination or to satisfy a closing condition in the Merger Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met; however, pursuant to SEC guidance, if the Sponsor, BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination, such public shares would not be voted in favor of the Business Combination. Any such purchases of BPAC’s public shares may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Further, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, including, among others, that BPAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the Sponsor or BPAC’s executive officers, directors and advisors, or their respective affiliates. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of BPAC’s Ordinary Shares may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of BPAC’s securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of BPAC’s securities on a national securities exchange. |
| Q: | How will the Initial Shareholders vote? |
| A: | Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Initial Shareholders, who as of Record Date owned 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares, or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares, have agreed to vote their respective BPAC ordinary shares acquired by them prior to or at the IPO and any ordinary shares purchased by them in the open market in or after the IPO in favor of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal, which transactions comprise the Business Combination, and intend to vote in favor of the other Proposals. As a result, only 826,833 BPAC ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will need to be present in person, by virtual attendance or by proxy to satisfy the quorum requirement for the Meeting. In addition, (i) as the vote to approve the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, 6,306 ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal for it to be approved and (ii) as the vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal is a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, no ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal for it to be approved. |
| Q: | How many votes do I and others have? |
| A: | You are entitled to one vote for each BPAC ordinary share that you held as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 5,947,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting. |
| Q: | Am I required to vote against any of the Proposals in order to have my public shares redeemed? |
| A: | No. You are not required to vote against any of the Proposals in order to have the right to demand that BPAC redeem your public shares for cash equal to your pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (including interest earned, net of taxes payable). These rights to demand redemption of public shares for cash are sometimes referred to herein as “redemption rights.” If the Business Combination is not completed, holders of public shares electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments and their BPAC ordinary shares will be returned to them. |
xi
| Q: | How do I exercise my redemption rights? |
| A: | If you are a public shareholder and you seek to have your public shares redeemed, you must (i) demand, no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026 (at least two business days before the Meeting), that BPAC redeem your shares into cash; and (ii) submit your request in writing to VStock Transfer, LLC, our transfer agent, at the address listed at the end of this section and deliver your shares to VStock Transfer, LLC physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System at least two business days before the Meeting. |
Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by VStock two business days before the Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock at least two business days before the Meeting.
BPAC shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against any of the Proposals, or whether they vote at all, and whether or not they are holders of BPAC ordinary shares as of the Record Date. Any public shareholder who holds ordinary shares on or before [●], 2026 (two business days before the Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed.
The actual per share redemption price will be equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (including interest earned, net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding BPAC Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the BPAC Units in the IPO, subject to the limitations described therein. Please see the section titled “The Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Class A ordinary shares for cash.
| Q: | What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights? |
| A: | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights depends on your particular facts and circumstances. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exercise of redemption rights. |
Additionally, because the Reincorporation Merger will occur prior to the redemption by U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to BPAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights may be subject to the potential tax consequences of the PFIC rules. The tax consequences of the exercise of redemption rights, including pursuant to the PFIC rules, are discussed more fully below under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares.” All holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares considering exercising their redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.
| Q: | Will holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the PubCo ordinary shares or PubCo Rights received in the Reincorporation Merger? |
| A: | Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” the Reincorporation Merger should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”). However, the provisions of the Code that govern Reorganizations are complex, and due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a) of the Code to a reincorporation of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as BPAC, the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is not entirely clear. Because the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is based on certain facts that will not be known until or following the Closing, and given the legal uncertainties described above, the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, BPAC does not intend to request a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Reincorporation Merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization. Further, the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Reincorporation Merger will qualify as a Reorganization. |
If the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, U.S. Holders (as defined below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights generally will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights, as the case may be. If the Reincorporation Merger does not qualify as a Reorganization, then a U.S. Holder that exchanges its BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares or PubCo Rights, as the case may be, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger, generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights exchanged, as the case may be.
Even if the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, U.S. Holders may be required to recognize gain (but not loss) on account of the application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) rules, as described in more detail below under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
For a more detailed discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Reincorporation Merger.
| Q: | What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to SINGAUTO and U.S. Holders of SINGAUTO? |
| A: | BPAC, PubCo, and SINGAUTO are Cayman Islands exempted companies. SINGAUTO is not expected to incur U.S. federal income tax liability as a direct result of either the Reincorporation Merger or the Acquisition Merger, provided such entities do not hold U.S. real property interests and have no income effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States. The Acquisition Merger is structured to qualify as a tax-deferred "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (such as a reverse triangular merger under Section 368(a)(2)(E) or a stock exchange under Section 368(a)(1)(B)). Because SINGAUTO shareholders will receive 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares representing approximately 93.5% of PubCo’s outstanding equity—well in excess of the 80% ownership standard required by Section 368(c)—the transaction satisfies the statutory control threshold immediately after the exchange. Consequently, U.S. Holders of SINGAUTO shares generally will not recognize gain or loss upon exchanging their SINGAUTO shares solely for PubCo ordinary shares. However, this nonrecognition treatment is subject to Section 367(a) of the Code, which may require U.S. Holders who become 5-percent or greater shareholders of PubCo to file a 5-year Gain Recognition Agreement with the IRS, as well as the PFIC rules if SINGAUTO is or was classified as a PFIC. SINGAUTO shareholders who are not U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on the exchange. |

| Q: | What do I need to do now? |
| A: | You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee. |
| Q: | How can I vote? |
| A: | If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in person (physically or virtually) at the Meeting, or by submitting a proxy using the enclosed proxy card, via the Internet or over the telephone. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you have already voted by proxy, you may still attend the Meeting (physically and virtually) and vote online, if you choose. |
To vote online at the Meeting via the Internet, follow the instructions below under “How may I participate in the Meeting virtually?”
To vote in person at the Meeting, you will be given a ballot when you arrive. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you will need to bring to the Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee authorizing you to vote these shares.
To vote using the proxy card, please complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you return your signed proxy card before the Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.
To vote via the telephone, you can vote by calling the telephone number on your proxy card. Please have your proxy card handy when you call. Easy-to-follow voice prompts will allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.
To vote via the Internet, please go to https://[●] and follow the instructions. Please have your proxy card handy when you go to the website. As with telephone voting, you can confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.
Telephone and Internet voting facilities for shareholders of record will be available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026. After that, telephone and Internet voting will be closed, and if you want to vote your shares, you will either need to ensure that your proxy card is received before the date of the Meeting or attend the Meeting physically to vote your shares.
If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares, and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. You may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.
If you plan to vote via the Internet, you will need to contact VStock at the phone number or email below to receive a control number and you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the number of Class A ordinary shares you held as of the Record Date, your name and email address. You must contact VStock for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 72 hours prior to the Meeting for processing your control number.
After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to VStock.
Requests for registration should be directed to [PHONE] or email [EMAIL].
You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. We encourage you to access the Meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in.

The Notice of extraordinary general Meeting, proxy statement/prospectus and form of proxy card are available at: https://[●].
| Q: | If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me? |
| A: | No. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any Proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a Proposal is determined to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the Proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a Proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to vote on the Proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary Proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. |
Each of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting is a non-discretionary Proposal. Accordingly, if you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any of the Proposals. A broker non-vote would have no effect on the vote for any Proposal.
| Q: | What if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my bank, brokerage firm or nominee? |
| A: | BPAC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular Proposal as present for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not participate in the Meeting, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at, and the number of votes voted at, the Meeting. For purposes of approval, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for any Proposal. |
| Q: | If I am not going to attend the Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead? |
| A: | Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Meeting virtually or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. |
| Q: | How can I submit a proxy? |
| A: | You may submit a proxy by (a) visiting https://[●] and following the on screen instructions (have your proxy card available when you access the webpage), or (b) calling toll-free [PHONE] in the U.S. and Canada or [PHONE] from foreign countries from any touch-tone phone, Conference ID: [●]# and follow the instructions (have your proxy card available when you call), or (c) submitting your proxy card by mail by using the previously provided self-addressed, stamped envelope. |
xiv
| Q: | Can I change my vote after I have mailed my proxy card? |
| A: | Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, or by attending the Meeting in person or via the Internet, and casting your vote or by voting again by the telephone or Internet voting options described below, or by submitting a written revocation stating that you would like to revoke your proxy that our proxy solicitor receives prior to the Meeting. If you hold your Class A ordinary shares through a bank, brokerage firm or nominee, you should follow the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding the revocation of proxies. If you are a record holder, you should send any notice of revocation or your completed new proxy card, as the case may be, to: |

Unless revoked, a proxy will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the shareholder’s indicated instructions. In the absence of instructions, proxies will be voted FOR each of the Proposals.
| Q: | What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote? |
| A: | If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular Proposal, the Class A ordinary shares represented by your proxy will be voted in favor of each Proposal. Proxy cards that are returned without a signature will not be counted as present at the Meeting and cannot be voted. |
| Q: | Should I send in my share certificates now to have my Class A ordinary shares redeemed? |
| A: | BPAC shareholders who intend to have their public shares redeemed must send their certificates to VStock or deliver their shares to VStock electronically using the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System at least two business days before the Meeting. Please see “The Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash. |
| Q: | Who will solicit the proxies and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting? |
| A: | BPAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting. BPAC has engaged [PROXY SOLICITOR] to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. BPAC has agreed to pay [PROXY SOLICITOR] a fee of $[●], plus disbursements, and will reimburse [PROXY SOLICITOR] for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify [PROXY SOLICITOR] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses. BPAC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of BPAC Class A ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. |
| Q: | What happens if I sell my shares before the Meeting? |
| A: | The Record Date for the Meeting is earlier than the date of the Meeting, as well as the date that the Business Combination is expected to be consummated. If you transfer your BPAC ordinary shares after the Record Date, but before the Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you would retain your right to vote at the Meeting but will transfer ownership of the shares, will not be able to redeem such shares and will not hold an interest in BPAC after the Business Combination is consummated. |
xv
| Q: | When is the Business Combination expected to occur? |
| A: | Assuming the requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals are received, BPAC expects that the Business Combination will occur as soon as possible following the Meeting. |
| Q: | Are SINGAUTO’s shareholders required to approve the Business Combination? |
| A: | Yes. The Business Combination requires the affirmative approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination, by a resolution of the shareholders of SINGAUTO passed by the affirmative vote of holders of SINGAUTO ordinary shares representing not less than two-thirds of the votes of the SINGAUTO ordinary shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the shareholders of SINGAUTO or approved in writing by all the holders of SINGAUTO ordinary shares entitled to vote at a general meeting of SINGAUTO. |
| Q: | Are there risks associated with the Business Combination that I should consider in deciding how to vote? |
| A: | Yes. There are a number of risks related to the Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that are discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. Please read with particular care the detailed description of the risks described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this proxy statement/prospectus. |
| Q: | May I seek statutory appraisal rights or dissenter rights with respect to my shares? |
| A: | BPAC shareholders have appraisal rights in connection with the Reincorporation Merger but do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination. There are no appraisal rights with respect to BPAC Rights. See the section entitled “The Meeting — Appraisal Rights” for more information. |
| Q: | What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated? |
| A: | If BPAC does not consummate the Business Combination within the Combination Period, then BPAC’s officers will seek a suitable alternative initial business combination. If they fails to find a suitable alternative initial business combination, then they will take all actions necessary in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands to dissolve and liquidate BPAC as promptly as reasonably possible. Following dissolution, BPAC will no longer exist as a company. In any liquidation, the funds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest earned thereon (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), will be distributed pro rata to holders of Class A ordinary shares who acquired such shares in the IPO or aftermarket. The estimated consideration that each Class A ordinary share would be paid at liquidation would be approximately $10.[●] per share based on amounts on deposit in the Trust Account as of [●], 2026. The closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq as of [●], 2026 was $10.[●]. The Initial Shareholders waived the right to any liquidation distribution with respect to any Class A ordinary shares held by them. |
| Q: | What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account following the Business Combination? |
| A: | Following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of public shares of BPAC exercising redemption rights will receive their per share redemption price out of the funds in the Trust Account. The balance of the funds will be released to SINGAUTO to pay deferred IPO underwriting commission of $1,150,000 and to fund working capital needs of the Combined Company. As of [●], 2026, there was approximately $[●] million in the Trust Account. BPAC estimates that approximately $10.[●] per outstanding public BPAC Class A ordinary share will be paid to the investors exercising their redemption rights. |
| Q: | Who will manage the Combined Company after the Business Combination? |
| A: | As a condition to the closing of the Business Combination, all of the officers and directors of BPAC will resign. For information on the anticipated management of the Combined Company, see the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus. |

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus but may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Accordingly, BPAC encourages you to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement attached as Annex A-1. Please read these documents carefully as they are the legal documents that govern the Business Combination and your rights in the Business Combination.
Unless otherwise specified, all share calculations assume the issuance of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares to the SINGAUTO shareholders and no exercise of the redemption rights by the BPAC shareholders.
The Parties to the Business Combination
Blueport Acquisition Ltd
BPAC is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 13, 2025. BPAC was 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. BPAC is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, BPAC is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
The registration statement for BPAC’s IPO became effective on November 10, 2025, pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act. On November 13, 2025, BPAC consummated the IPO, which consisted of 5,750,000 Units, including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one BPAC Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to BPAC of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, BPAC consummated the private placement of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500.
Upon the closing of the IPO, an amount of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury and held in cash or cash like items (including demand deposit accounts) at a bank. The amounts held in the Trust Account may only be used by BPAC upon the consummation of an initial business combination, except that there can be released to BPAC, from time to time, any interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account that it may need to pay its tax obligations. The remaining interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account will not be released until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or BPAC’s liquidation.
BPAC’s Units, Class A ordinary shares and public rights are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BPACU,” “BPAC” and “BPACR,” respectively. The Units commenced trading on or about November 12, 2025, and the Class A ordinary shares and public rights commenced separate trading on Nasdaq on or about January 6, 2026.
BPAC’s principal executive offices are located at 366 Madison Ave., 9th Floor, New York, NY 10017, and its telephone number is (203) 489-2110.
BPAC’s sponsor, Blueport Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation, is managed by William Rosenstadt and Roy Jiang, who each legally and beneficially owns 50% and shares control of the Sponsor. Mr. Rosenstadt, BPAC’s Chairman and CEO, directs BPAC’s business activities, including identifying, evaluating and negotiating with business combination targets. Mr. Rosenstadt also participated in the negotiation of the terms of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements with SingAuto. Mr. Jiang, as a Sponsor principal, assisted in evaluating SingAuto and participated in negotiations with SingAuto’s management. The Sponsor has also (i) funded BPAC through the founder shares ($25,000), the Private Placement Units ($1,972,500), a $300,000 pre-IPO note and the $190,000 Convertible Note; (ii) provided office and administrative services for $10,000 per month; (iii) agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and to waive its redemption and liquidation rights; and (iv) obtained the right to designate one PubCo independent director, which is expected to be Mr. Jiang.
The decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was made by the BPAC Board and remains subject to shareholder approval. Because the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment if no business combination is completed by February 13, 2027, they may have an incentive to complete the Business Combination on terms less favorable to public shareholders than liquidation.
NeoCryo Inc
PubCo was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 9, 2026 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BPAC, formed for the sole purpose of the Reincorporation Merger. Following the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, BPAC will have merged with and into PubCo, with PubCo as the surviving publicly traded entity.
NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd
Merger Sub was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 9, 2026 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BPAC that will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo as a consequence of the Reincorporation Merger, formed for the sole purpose of the Business Combination. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Merger Sub will have merged with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo.

Upon the Closing, the Purchaser, the Sponsor and each Company shareholder who will hold 5% or more of PubCo ordinary shares immediately after the Closing, will enter into lock-up agreements, pursuant to which the Sponsor and such shareholders will, subject to certain customary exceptions, agree not to sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the PubCo ordinary shares beneficially owned by such shareholders (the “Lock-up Shares”) until the earlier of (1) 180 days after the completion of the Business Combination; or (2) the date following the consummation of Business Combination on which the Purchaser completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up Shares will be released from the lock-up if (1) the reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the completion of the Business Combination.
Registration Rights Agreement
Upon the Closing, the Purchaser will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain shareholders of the Company and the Parent with respect to the shares of the Purchaser issued or issuable in connection with the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, either the holders of a majority-in-interest of the registrable securities or the Sponsor will have an aggregate of two demand registration rights for their registrable securities. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide the shareholders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. All expenses of registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, including the legal fees of counsel chosen by shareholders participating in a registration, will be paid by the Purchaser.
Intellectual Property Cooperation Agreement and Deed of Waiver
SINGAUTO has historically conducted its R&D activities in collaboration with Beijing Xinshiya Technology Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Beijing. Certain patents and patent applications developed in connection with our business were historically registered, listed or recorded in the names of multiple parties as co-holders, co-owners or co-applicants, including SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore, SingAuto HK and Xinshiya Beijing. Xinshiya Beijing is a related party of SINGAUTO and is controlled by Mr. Yuqiang Liu, SINGAUTO’s CEO and chairman of the board. See “Information About SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” for more information regarding related-party transactions involving Xinshiya Beijing. To clarify the ownership and commercialization rights in these patents and patent applications, the relevant parties entered into a deed of waiver and relinquishment of IP rights and an intellectual property cooperation agreement in May 2026.
Under the deed of waiver dated and effective as of May 4, 2026, SingAuto HK acknowledged that its prior registration as a co-holder of certain intellectual property had been made for administrative or structural purposes, irrevocably and unconditionally waived and released all rights, title and interest in the relevant intellectual property worldwide, and agreed to cooperate in its removal from applicable IP registration records. The deed does not provide for a fixed term, renewal right or early termination right, although certain obligations, including confidentiality obligations, survive termination or expiry in accordance with the terms of the deed.

On May 15, 2026, SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore and Xinshiya Beijing entered into an intellectual property cooperation agreement, or IP Cooperation Agreement, to establish a unified framework for the licensing and commercialization of the licensed patents worldwide. The entry into the IP Cooperation Agreement satisfied the closing condition under the Merger Agreement requiring SINGAUTO to enter into the IP Cooperation Agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within ten business days following the date of the Merger Agreement. Under the IP Cooperation Agreement, SingAuto Cayman and Xinshiya Beijing are identified as IP holders and SingAuto Singapore is identified as the licensee, and SingAuto Singapore receives an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license under the licensed patents to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import licensed products, with full and final control over commercialization and exploitation of the licensed patents. The agreement also provides for a one-time lump sum consideration, the specific amount of which remains subject to the parties’ further determination, in lieu of ongoing royalties. On June 15, 2026, the parties entered into a supplementary agreement to the IP Cooperation Agreement, setting the consideration at $2.0.
The IP Cooperation Agreement became effective on May 15, 2026 and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, continues on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of a licensed patent in the relevant country, or, if no patent contained in the licensed patents is issued or the relevant patents or patent applications are abandoned, until one year after the last patent or patent application is abandoned. SingAuto Singapore, as licensee, may terminate the agreement without cause on at least 45 business days’ prior written notice to the IP holders, and may also terminate the agreement if any IP holder materially breaches the agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 business days after written notice. Either party may terminate the agreement immediately upon certain insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar events affecting SingAuto Singapore. The agreement does not contain an automatic renewal provision. Upon expiration of the last patent to expire under the licensed patents in any country with respect to any licensed product, provided SingAuto Singapore is not then in breach of the agreement, SingAuto Singapore will have a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up license to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import in that country products that were previously licensed products.
Regulatory Approvals
The Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any material U.S. federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for compliance with applicable U.S. securities laws, including the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, and the filings and registration in the Cayman Islands of the Reincorporation Plan of Merger and the plan of merger relating to the Acquisition Merger, together with payment of the applicable fees required under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to effect the Business Combination.
Management
Effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, the post-Business Combination board of PubCo will have at least five (5) directors, a majority of whom shall be independent directors under Nasdaq listing rules. Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) director to serve as an independent director of PubCo, and SINGAUTO shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, the remaining directors. Effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, all of the executive officers of BPAC immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination shall resign and the individuals serving as executive officers of the Combined Company immediately after the closing of the Business Combination will be the same individuals (in the same offices) as those of SINGAUTO immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information.
Recent Developments
On November 13, 2025, BPAC consummated the IPO, which consisted of 5,750,000 Units, including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one BPAC Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to BPAC of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, BPAC consummated the private placement of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500.
Upon closing of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $57,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Wilmington Trust, National Association, acting as trustee.
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into the Merger Agreement with the Purchaser, Merger Sub and SINGAUTO. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the BPAC shareholders, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity as a result of the Reincorporation Merger; and (ii) at least one business day after the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO continuing as the surviving company in the Business Combination and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of SINGAUTO is $1,200,000,000, which will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of 120,000,000 newly issued PubCo ordinary shares.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. The consummation of the proposed Merger is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.
Voting Securities
As of the Record Date, there were 5,947,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding. Only BPAC shareholders who hold BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Class B ordinary shares of record as of the close of business on [●], 2026, the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will each require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Attending the Meeting either in person, by virtual attendance or by submitting your proxy and abstaining from voting will have no effect on the Proposals and, assuming a quorum is present, broker non-votes will have no effect on the Proposals. As of the Record Date, a total of 197,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary share, or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares, are subject to the Letter Agreement pursuant to which holders have agreed to vote their ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. As a result, only 826,833 Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will need to be present in person, by virtual attendance or by proxy to satisfy the quorum requirement for the Meeting. In addition, (i) as the vote to approve the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, 6,306 ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal for it to be approved and (ii) as the vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal is a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of Class A ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, no Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal for it to be approved.

Appraisal Rights
BPAC shareholders have appraisal rights in connection with the Reincorporation Merger. There are no appraisal rights with respect to BPAC Rights or the Business Combination. See the section entitled “The Meeting — Appraisal Rights” for more information.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to BPAC’s Existing Charter, holders of public BPAC Class A ordinary shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public BPAC Class A ordinary shares. As of [●], 2026, this would have amounted to approximately $10.[●] per share.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
| (i) | hold public shares; and |
| (ii) | prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026, (a) submit a written request to VStock that BPAC redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to VStock, physically or electronically through DTC’s DWAC. |
If a holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the Combined Company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to VStock in accordance with the procedures described therein. See “The Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.
Ownership of the Post-Business Combination Company After the Closing
It is anticipated that, upon the closing of the Business Combination, under the “no redemptions” scenario, BPAC’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 5.2% in the Combined Company. The following chart illustrates the ownership structure of PubCo immediately following the Business Combination. The equity interests shown in the diagram below were calculated based on the assumptions that (i) no BPAC public shareholder exercises its redemption right, (ii) none of the parties in the chart below purchase PubCo Ordinary
Shares in the open market, and (iii) there are no other issuances of equity by BPAC prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The ownership percentages set forth below assume that no public shareholders of BPAC exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares and do not take into account the issuance of any additional shares under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
When you consider the recommendation of the BPAC Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination and the related Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor (which is affiliated with certain of BPAC’s officers and directors) and BPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder generally, including but not limited to the following:
| ● | Since our Sponsor, officers and directors directly or indirectly own BPAC ordinary shares and BPAC Rights, our Sponsor, officers and directors have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor intends to transfer 25,000 of its founder shares to our Chief Financial Officer at the consummation of an initial business combination. Based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●], Mr. Kulwant Sandher, our Chief Financial Officer, will receive $[●] at Closing. If we do not complete our initial business combination, Mr. Sandher will not receive such compensation and all founder shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will become worthless. Accordingly, there may exist a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. | |
| ● | Our Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) independent director to serve on PubCo’s five-person board of directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information. |
7
| ● | If an initial business combination is not completed within the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to liquidate. In such event: |
| ● | 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to BPAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.017 per share, or $25,000 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the founder shares, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the BPAC Class B ordinary shares if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
| ● | 197,250 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor for $1,972,500 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. At the consummation of the Business Combination, such Private Placement Units would have an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of $10.[●] per Unit on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Private Placement Units if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. Our sponsor and its affiliates, and our directors and officers will retain 1,667,625 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, representing ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the combined company, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders. Such ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●], based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. |
| ● | The Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other BPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the combined company following the Business Combination. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BPAC’s public shareholders who purchased shares in BPAC’s initial public offering, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BPAC’s Sponsor would have a gain of approximately $4.98 per share because it acquired the founder shares for a nominal amount. |
| ● | With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares and the Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such units will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our Sponsor until the earlier of (a) 180 days after the completion of our initial business combination and (b) the date on which we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such shares will be released from lock-up if the last sale price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after our initial business combination. Since our Sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares and rights of PubCo, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | The Sponsor may make loans from time to time to BPAC to fund certain capital requirements. If our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. If we do not complete the Business Combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital 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. Since BPAC will not repay such loans if BPAC does not complete a business combination, a conflict of interest may arise. As of June 30, 2026, no such working capital loans were outstanding. |
| ● | If BPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor may be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for BPAC. If BPAC consummates an initial business combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims. |
| ● | The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on BPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. Unless we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors and insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account. If the proposed Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, BPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working capital if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed within Combination Period. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates have not had any unpaid reimbursable expenses. |
| ● | The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of BPAC’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination covering BPAC’s current directors and officers. |
| ● | The exercise of BPAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interests. |
| ● | None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. |
8
| ● | BPAC’s officers and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
| ● | In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. |
| ● | The fact that the Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their BPAC ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. |
The foregoing interests present a risk that the Sponsor, BPAC’s officers and directors, and their affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with the holders of BPAC public shares. As such, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to holders of BPAC public shares rather than to liquidate.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
Compensation Received by Sponsor and its Affiliates
Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by PubCo to BPAC Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.
| Interest in Securities | Other Compensation | |||
| Sponsor | Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share for its BPAC Class B ordinary shares purchased in connection with BPAC’s formation. The Sponsor also paid $1,972,500, or approximately $10.00 per unit for its Private Placement Units purchased in connection with the IPO. The Sponsor currently holds 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 shares of BPAC Class B ordinary shares. At Closing, Sponsor will hold a total of 1,667,625 PubCo ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 1,437,500 shares converted from the BPAC Class B ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis, (ii) 197,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units, and (iii) 32,875 BPAC Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights underlying the Private Placement Units. | At Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SINGAUTO will use cash from the trust account to pay BPAC transaction expenses and to reimburse or pay Sponsor or its affiliates for any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor or its affiliates to the extent that such loans are not converted into the Private Placement Units of BPAC in connection with the Business Combination. BPAC currently estimates that the total amount payable for BPAC transaction expenses and any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor and its affiliates is approximately $[●] million. Any working capital loans to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination will either be repaid upon consummation of the Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, upon consummation of the initial business combination. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. BPAC has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor and its affiliates for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026, there were no out-of-pocket unpaid reimbursable expenses for which the Sponsor and its affiliates are awaiting reimbursement. On May 13, 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan BPAC up to an aggregate amount of $190,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the business combination (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from BPAC to the Sponsor. The Convertible Note is payable no later than the date on which BPAC terminates or consummates an initial business combination with a target business. The Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding unpaid obligations, in whole or in part, into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination. On November 11, 2025, BPAC entered into an administration service agreement with the Sponsor for a term of 15 months, pursuant to which BPAC agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. As of June 30, 2026, BPAC has incurred and accrued administrative service fees totaling $76,667. |

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In February 2025 the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,983,750 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate of $25,000. In August 2025, the Sponsor, for no consideration, forfeited 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares.
Simultaneously with the closing of IPO, BPAC consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one Class A ordinary share of BPAC.
The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions, as described in the BPAC’s registration statement related to the IPO. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the registration statement) until after the completion of BPAC’s initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities.
The founder shares and the Private Placement Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering.
Use of Proceeds from IPO and Private Placement
As of November 13, 2025, a total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of BPAC’s public shareholders.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, PubCo will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of SINGAUTO expecting to have a majority of the voting power of PubCo, SINGAUTO’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of PubCo, the relative size of SINGAUTO compared to PubCo, and SINGAUTO operations comprising the ongoing operations of PubCo. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of SINGAUTO issuing stock for the net assets of PubCo, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PubCo will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
BPAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination
After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the BPAC Board has determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, BPAC and its shareholders. In reaching its decision with respect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, the BPAC Board reviewed the various industry information and financial data and the evaluation of materials provided by SINGAUTO. The BPAC Board also obtained from Revere Securities LLC, a valuation services firm (“Revere”), a fairness opinion on which to base its assessment (see Annex C).
The BPAC Board unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination, and all other related transactions.
The BPAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated shareholders for the purposes of negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement and Business Combination transaction and/or prepare a report concerning approval of the Business Combination. The Business Combination is not structured so that the approval of at least a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders of the BPAC is required for consummation of the Business Combination.
The BPAC Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of these factors, the BPAC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of the BPAC Board may have given different weight to different factors. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
In addition to the factors described above, the BPAC Board also considered the structure of the Business Combination, including the form of the transaction and the jurisdictions involved, and the reasons why such structure was appropriate under the circumstances. In evaluating the structure, the BPAC Board considered input from BPAC’s management, legal counsel and tax advisors.
10
The BPAC Board recognized that the Company’s principal operations, management team and research and development activities are located in Singapore and that the Company is subject to Singapore tax laws and regulatory considerations. Accordingly, the BPAC Board considered that the structure of the Business Combination needed to be designed in a manner that would be tax-efficient from a Singapore tax perspective, preserve the Company’s existing operational footprint and minimize disruption to its ongoing business. The BPAC Board believed that alternative transaction structures that did not appropriately account for Singapore tax considerations could result in adverse tax consequences, increased complexity, or operational inefficiencies following the closing of the Business Combination.
The BPAC Board also considered that the Business Combination structure would permit BPAC’s public shareholders to remain invested on substantially the same economic terms, subject to their redemption rights, while enabling the combined company to become publicly traded without requiring a reorganization of BPAC’s shareholder base. The BPAC Board believed that this structure appropriately balanced the interests of BPAC’s shareholders with the Company’s desire to access the U.S. public capital markets while maintaining its Singapore-based operations.
In addition, the BPAC Board considered that the selected structure would provide flexibility to support the Company’s anticipated future growth, including potential collaborations, financings and strategic transactions, while maintaining compliance with applicable tax, regulatory and corporate governance requirements in Singapore and other relevant jurisdictions. The BPAC Board believed that the structure of the Business Combination was therefore appropriate and in the best interests of BPAC and its shareholders in light of the Company’s business, geographic footprint and long-term strategic objectives.
Recommendations of the Board and Reasons for the Business Combination
The BPAC Board recommends that BPAC shareholders vote:
| ● | FOR the Reincorporation Merger Proposal; |
| ● | FOR the Business Combination Proposal; |
| ● | FOR the Nasdaq Proposal; |
| ● | FOR the Advisory Governance Proposals; |
| ● | FOR the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal; and |
| ● | FOR the Adjournment Proposal. |
Emerging Growth Company
Each of BPAC and PubCo is, and consequently, following the Business Combination, PubCo will be, 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”). As such, PubCo will be eligible to 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find PubCo’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for PubCo’s securities and the prices of PubCo’s securities may be more volatile.
PubCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the first public sale of common equity securities, (b) in which PubCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which PubCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the PubCo ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which PubCo has issued more than US$1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Summary Risk Factors
The Business Combination, BPAC and SINGAUTO are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. In evaluating the Business Combination and the Proposals to be considered and voted on at the Meeting, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Some of these risks are summarized below. References in the summary below to “SINGAUTO” generally refer to SINGAUTO in the present tense or to the Combined Company from and after the Business Combination.
The following summarizes certain principal factors that make an investment in the Combined Company speculative or risky, all of which are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section below. This summary should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Factors” section and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive summary of the material risks facing BPAC’s, SINGAUTO’s and/or the Combined Company’s business.
You should carefully consider these and the other risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. Such risks include, but are not limited to:
Risks Related to SINGAUTO’s Business and Industry
| ● | We have a limited operating history and face significant challenges in the refrigerated commercial electric vehicle (EV) industry for cold-chain logistics, which may render the evaluation of our business and prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. |
| ● | Our business model has yet to be fully tested. Any failure to implement our strategic plans could have a material adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and result in substantial liabilities that exceed our resources. |
| ● | Our ability to develop and manufacture refrigerated commercial electric vehicles of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and on a large scale is unproven. |
| ● | If we cannot successfully overcome the barriers to commercializing our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, our business will be negatively impacted. |
| ● | We depend and expect to continue to significantly depend on revenue generated from a limited number of vehicle models. |
| ● | We may experience significant delays in the development, production or delivery of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, which could harm our business and prospects. |
| ● | Manufacturing in collaboration with partners is subject to risks. |
| ● | Our business may be subject to risks associated with manufacturing, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of constructing or preparing our manufacturing facilities. |
| ● | We need to develop complex technology and operating systems, both internally and in coordination with third-party research and development partners, vendors and suppliers, to support the production, commercialization and operation of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and solutions, and we cannot assure you that such systems will be successfully developed. |
| ● | The refrigerated commercial electric vehicle industry and its technology are rapidly evolving and may be subject to unforeseen changes which could adversely affect the demand for our vehicles or increase our operating costs. |
| ● | Our future growth is dependent upon customers’ willingness to adopt refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related services and solutions. If the market for refrigerated commercial electric vehicles does not develop or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. |
12
| ● | We and Xinshiya Shanghai, our licensee, have a limited number of customers arrangements and non-binding MOUs for our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles or licensed vehicles, and we cannot guarantee that non-binding MOUs will be converted into actual orders. |
| ● | If there is inadequate access to charging infrastructure in the markets in which we operate or intend to operate, our business will be materially and adversely affected. |
| ● | We may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or our shareholders or at all when needed. |
| ● | We had negative net cash flows from operating activities in the past and have not been profitable, which may continue in the future. |
| ● | If we fail to scale our business operations or otherwise manage our future growth effectively as we seek to commercialize and grow our company, we may not be able to produce, market, service and sell (or lease) our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles or related products and services successfully. |
| ● | We may fail to compete effectively in the zero-emission cold-chain transportation industry. |
| ● | The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic subsidies could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. |
| ● | Performance issues with our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles could adversely affect our commercialization, reputation and future sales. |
| ● | We may incur material losses and costs as a result of warranty claims, product recalls, and product liabilities that may be brought against us. |
| ● | Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and key components, particularly battery cells or battery packs, could harm our business. |
| ● | Our business depends substantially on the continued efforts of our executive officers, key employees and qualified personnel, and our operations may be severely disrupted if we lose their services. |
| ● | Any unauthorized access or control of our vehicles and systems of our vehicles and related systems could result in loss of confidence in us and our vehicles and harm our business. |
| ● | We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights which may adversely affect our competitive position and disrupt our business. |
| ● | We face various challenges and risks in connection with our expansion into overseas markets. |
| ● | We operate in a highly regulated environment regarding vehicle safety, homologation, and environmental standards in Singapore. |
| ● | We are subject to stringent requirements pursuant to Singapore’s data protection and data security laws and regulations, and any contravention of these requirements could result in severe penalties and reputational damage. |
13
Risks Related to BPAC’s Business and the Business Combination
| ● | If BPAC is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, BPAC would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted and, as a result, BPAC would likely abandon its efforts to consummate an initial business combination and would seek to liquidate and dissolve instead. |
| ● | To mitigate the risk that BPAC might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, BPAC may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or its liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, BPAC would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount the public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of BPAC. |
| ● | BPAC’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about BPAC’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” |
| ● | BPAC will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account if it cannot consummate the Business Combination or an initial business combination by February 13, 2027, unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter. In the event of a liquidation, BPAC’s public shareholders are expected to receive approximately $10.[●] per ordinary share and the BPAC Rights will expire worthless. |
| ● | If third parties bring claims against BPAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by BPAC’s shareholders may be less than $10.[●]. |
| ● | Any distributions received by BPAC shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, the value of BPAC’s assets did not exceed its liability or BPAC was unable to pay its debts as and when they fell due. |
| ● | If BPAC’s due diligence investigation of SINGAUTO was inadequate, then BPAC shareholders following the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment. |
| ● | BPAC does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold in its Existing Charter. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to consummate the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree. |
| ● | BPAC and SINGAUTO have incurred and expect to incur significant costs associated with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by the combined company if the Business Combination is completed or by BPAC if the Business Combination is not completed. |
| ● | BPAC’s shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of PubCo ordinary shares as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that BPAC’s current shareholders have on the management of PubCo. |
| ● | SINGAUTO’s operating and financial results forecast and certain estimates of market opportunity included in this proxy statement/prospectus rely in large upon assumptions and analyses. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, SINGAUTO’s actual operating and financial results may be materially different from its forecasted results. |
| ● | BPAC shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with a proposed business combination must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights. |
Risks Related to PubCo’s Securities Following the Business Combination and PubCo Operating as a Public Company
| ● | Currently, there is no public market for the PubCo ordinary shares. BPAC shareholders cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for or of the PubCo ordinary shares they will receive or that PubCo will successfully obtain authorization for listing on the Nasdaq. |
| ● | Certain judgments obtained against PubCo by PubCo’s shareholders may not be enforceable. |
| ● | PubCo’s share price may be volatile and could decline substantially. |
| ● | Your ownership percentage in PubCo will be less than the ownership percentage you currently hold in BPAC. |
| ● | If PubCo ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer, it would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and it would incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer; |
| ● | You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law. |
| ● | There are, and continue to be, uncertainties involving PubCo’s status under U.S. tax law which may adversely affect PubCo’s financial operation or may result in adverse income tax consequences to U.S. Holders. |

RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, before making a decision on the Business Combination. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial conditioning and results of operations of the Combined Company, and could adversely affect the trading price of the Combined Company’s securities following the business combination.
Risks Related to SINGAUTO’s Business and Industry
References in this subsection to “we,” “our,” “us” or “our Company” refer to (1) SINGAUTO Inc, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and (2) PubCo, after the consummation of Business Combination, unless otherwise specified.
We have a limited operating history and face significant challenges in the refrigerated commercial electric vehicle (EV) industry for cold-chain logistics, which may render the evaluation of our business and prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment.
We commenced our operations in 2023. As we only have a limited operating history in the refrigerated commercial electric vehicle industry for cold-chain logistics, it is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we may have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and challenges that we face as an early-stage company and a new entrant into these fast-developing industries, including our ability to:
| ● | design, develop and manufacture our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles; |
| ● | accurately estimate the demand for our products and services: |
| ● | enhance our service capabilities to meet customer needs; |
| ● | expand and deploy our charging network; |
| ● | increase our sales and marketing activities; |
| ● | expand our design, development, maintenance and repair capabilities; |
| ● | attract, retain and motivate talented employees; |
| ● | improve and maintain our operating efficiency; |
| ● | navigate an evolving and complex regulatory environment in different countries; and |
| ● | manage our growth effectively. |
If we fail to address any or all of these risks and challenges, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. We have a limited operating history on which investors can base an evaluation of our business, results of operations and prospects. We have not commenced commercial sales of our vehicles and have not generated revenue from vehicle sales or related services. It is difficult to predict our future revenue and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. If actual results differ from our estimates, or if we adjust our estimates in future periods, our results of operations and financial position could be materially affected. The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared by management and reflects current estimates of future performance. The projected results depend on the successful implementation of management’s growth strategies and are based on assumptions and events over which we have only partial or no control. The assumptions underlying such projected information require the exercise of judgment, and may not even occur. As such, the projections are subject to uncertainties due to the effects of economic, business, competitive, regulatory, legislative, and political or other changes.
19
Our business model has yet to be fully tested. Any failure to implement our strategic plans could have a material adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and result in substantial liabilities that exceed our resources.
As a new enterprise, we may encounter difficulties that are beyond our control, including substantial risks and expenses when entering new markets, organizing operations and undertaking marketing activities. We may not be able to estimate the demand for our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles accurately, which could result in various inefficiencies in our business and hinder our ability to generate revenue. If we fail to accurately predict supply and demand for our products, or if we fail to invest in talents, technologies and capital equipment to meet market demand, we could incur additional costs or experience delays. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of these risks, expenses, complications, delays and the competitive environment in which we operate. We cannot assure you that our business plan will prove successful, and we may not be able to generate significant revenue, raise additional capital or operate profitably.
We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by companies in the early commercial stage, including scaling up our infrastructure and headcount, as well as unforeseen expenses, difficulties or delays in connection with our growth. In addition, as a result of the capital-intensive nature of our industry, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenue to cover expenditures in the near term. As such, any investment in us may result in the loss of your investment.
Our ability to develop and manufacture refrigerated commercial electric vehicles of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and on a large scale is unproven.
Our business depends in large part on our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles. We have completed the research, development, prototyping and validation testing of the S1 vehicle, with commercial production and deliveries targeted for the first quarter of 2027. We have also finalized the research, development and prototyping of the V1 vehicle and currently expect to commence its mass production and deliveries in the third quarter of 2027. The continued development of and the ability to manufacture our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles at scale are and will be subject to risks, including with respect to:
| ● | our ability to negotiate and execute definitive agreements, and maintain arrangements on reasonable terms, with our various suppliers for hardware, software, or services necessary to engineer or manufacture parts or components of our vehicles; | |
| ● | our ability to secure necessary funding, components, services, or licenses on acceptable terms and in a timely manner; | |
| ● | delays by us in delivering final component designs to our suppliers; | |
| ● | our or our partners’ ability to manufacture or assemble vehicles within specified design tolerances; | |
| ● | quality controls, including within our manufacturing operations, that prove to be ineffective or inefficient; | |
| ● | defects in design and/or manufacture that cause our vehicles not to perform as expected or that require repair, field actions, including product recalls, and design changes; | |
| ● | delays, disruptions or increased costs in our supply chain, including raw material supplies; | |
| ● | other delays, backlog in manufacturing and research and development of new models, and cost overruns; | |
| ● | obtaining required regulatory approvals and certifications; | |
| ● | compliance with environmental, safety, and similar regulations; and | |
| ● | our ability to attract, recruit, hire, retain and train skilled employees. |
To date, we have limited experience, as a company, designing, testing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling our vehicles and therefore cannot assure you that we will be able to meet customer expectations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we cannot successfully overcome the barriers to commercializing our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, our business will be negatively impacted.
The market for vehicles used in the cold-chain logistic industry has significant entry barriers, including substantial capital requirements, investment costs of designing and modifying vehicles, long lead times to bring vehicles to market from the concept and design stage, specialized design and development expertise, regulatory requirements, brand establishment, and setting up sales and distribution networks. In addition, our planned commercialization strategy depends in part on our ability to coordinate mass production with manufacturing partners, which may involve challenges relating to production readiness, supplier coordination, quality control, production scheduling, regulatory certification and the ability of such partners to manufacture vehicles at the required scale and specifications. If we fail to surmount these barriers, or if our manufacturing partners are unable to support production on the timelines, volumes, costs or quality standards we expect, our ability to grow our business will be harmed, and our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
We may also be required to make substantial additional investments to keep our vehicles and related technologies competitive as customer requirements, regulatory standards and industry technologies continue to evolve. Future upgrades to our vehicle platforms, battery systems, refrigeration and temperature-control functions, connected monitoring systems, software, driver-assistance capabilities, charging-related functions or other technologies may require significant expenditures for research and development, engineering, tooling, testing, validation, certification and supplier integration. If we are unable to make these investments on a timely or cost-effective basis, or if such upgrades do not perform as expected or achieve customer acceptance, our products may become less competitive and our commercialization efforts could be materially and adversely affected.
20
We depend and expect to continue to significantly depend on revenue generated from a limited number of vehicle models.
Our business heavily depends on the successful development and commercialization of a limited number of refrigerated commercial electric vehicle models. We have been developing our initial vehicle models, including the S1 refrigerated intelligent commercial electric van, or S1 vehicle, and the V1 refrigerated commercial electric van, or V1 vehicle. We have completed the development and prototyping of both models and expect to commence mass production and deliveries of the S1 vehicles and V1 vehicles in the first quarter of 2027 and the third quarter of 2027, respectively. If our product variety and release cycles do not meet customer expectations, or if our vehicles cannot be produced on our projected timelines and cost and volume targets in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, our future sales will be adversely affected. As we will primarily depend on a limited number of models for the foreseeable future, any particular model that is not well received by the market could materially and adversely affect our sales and, consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may experience significant delays in the development, production or delivery of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, which could harm our business and prospects.
Automotive companies often experience delays in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of new vehicle models. If we experience delays in the production or delivery of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, including our initial vehicle models or any future vehicle models or configurations we may develop, our growth prospects could be adversely affected as we may fail to achieve expected customer adoption or market share. Furthermore, our commercialization plan depends in part in third-party contract manufacturers, suppliers and other partners for manufacturing support and for the provision and development of key components and materials used in our vehicles. If our manufacturing partners and suppliers experience any delays in providing us with necessary services, components or products, we could experience delays in meeting our development, production or delivery timelines. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our brand, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Manufacturing in collaboration with partners is subject to risks.
Our planned manufacturing model may involve in-house manufacturing arrangements, third-party manufacturers, suppliers, assembly partners and other business partners, including the importation of semi knocked-down, or SKD, parts from original equipment manufacturers for knocked-down, or KD, assembly production in selected target markets. This model is subject to operational risks that may be beyond our control. We could experience production and delivery delays if our manufacturing partners, suppliers or assembly partners do not meet agreed-upon timelines, experience capacity constraints, encounter financial difficulties or face operational challenges. We may also have disputes with our manufacturing partners, suppliers or other business partners. In addition, we and our brand image could be affected by adverse publicity or public sentiment regarding our manufacturing partners or suppliers, whether or not such publicity or public sentiment is related to their collaboration with us. We expect to rely on our manufacturing partners and suppliers meet applicable quality standards, production specifications and regulatory requirements, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain consistent quality standards across our planned manufacturing and assembly arrangements. If our manufacturing partners or suppliers fail to maintain necessary approvals or certificates for vehicle manufacturing or for the manufacturing of specific products or fail to obtain new approvals or certificates for our future products, we could experience production delays, supply interruptions, disputes with partners or customers, which could have a material impact on our business.
If we are unable to enter into or maintain manufacturing, supply or assembly arrangements with third-party partners on acceptable terms and conditions, we may need to identify alternative partners or increase our own manufacturing or assembly capabilities. Any transition to new third-party manufacturers or assembly partners, or any increase in our own manufacturing or assembly capacity, may be more time-consuming and costly than expected. In particular, our planned manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi is currently in the planning stage and is expected to become ready for production in or around the second half of 2027, subject to developments in the Iran conflict, construction progress, equipment installation, regulatory approvals, supply chain readiness and other factors. If we are unable to implement our planned manufacturing model, including through our planned KD/SKD assembly strategy, our ability to commence commercial production and delivery of our vehicles may be materially and adversely affected.
Our business may be subject to risks associated with manufacturing, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of constructing or preparing our manufacturing facilities.
We plan to operate a manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to support our KD/SKD assembly production strategy. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the facility is in the planning stage, and we expect it to become ready for production in or around the second half of 2027, subject to developments in the Iran conflict, construction progress, equipment installation, regulatory approvals, supply chain readiness and other factors. The conflict involving Iran may affect planning and activities relating to our leasehold land in the UAE, as well as regional operating conditions, including labor and shipping costs, contractor availability, construction schedules, logistics and regulatory or administrative processes, any of which could delay the readiness of the Abu Dhabi facility.
In addition, we have entered into two non-binding MOUs with THi Holding Management Corporation, or THi, relating to the proposed acquisition by THi or its designated affiliate of our UAE subsidiary, SingAuto Manufacturing L.L.C-S.P.C., and the proposed leaseback to us of a portion of the customized factory buildings to be constructed on the project land within KEZAD, Abu Dhabi for our KD/SKD assembly operations. See “Information About SINGAUTO — Properties” for more information. The proposed transactions with THi are subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals, definitive documentation and other conditions, and there can be no assurance that they will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or at all. If the proposed transactions are not completed, or if THi or its designated affiliate fails to develop, construct, operate or make the leased premises available to us on the expected timeline and on commercially acceptable terms, our planned Abu Dhabi manufacturing operations could be disrupted or delayed, and our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
The construction and preparation of our planned KD assembly facilities may be subject to applicable local laws, regulations, permits and approvals relating to building, safety, environmental protection, land use, utilities, manufacturing and related matters. These requirements, together with contractor performance, equipment installation, supply chain readiness and other contingencies, may cause delays or cost overruns or prevent the construction. Material delays or cost overruns, or inability to construct our facilities could delay our production readiness, commercial production and deliveries, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We need to develop complex technology and operating systems, both internally and in coordination with third-party research and development partners, vendors and suppliers, to support the production, commercialization and operation of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and solutions, and we cannot assure you that such systems will be successfully developed.
Our vehicles and related services and solutions will require a substantial amount of third-party and internally developed software and complex hardware to operate. The development of such advanced technologies is inherently complex and costly, and we will need to coordinate with our third-party research and development partners, suppliers and other technical resources in order to produce, commercialize and support the operation of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related services and solutions. Defects and errors may be revealed over time and our control over the performance of third-party services and systems may be limited. We may be unable to develop the necessary software and technology systems or meet the technological requirements to support our business plan. In addition, the technology may not comply with the cost, performance useful life and warranty requirements we anticipate in our business plan. As a result, our business plan could be significantly impacted, and we may incur significant liabilities under warranty claims which could adversely affect our business, prospects, and results of operations.
21
Our research and development efforts may not yield the expected results.
Technological innovation is critical to our success, and our technology capabilities depend on research and development efforts conducted both through internal coordination and collaborations with third-party research and development partners. We have been investing heavily in our research and development efforts. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, we incurred research and development expenses of approximately US$4.9 million and US$5.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 67.5% and 54.0% of our total operating expenses in the same periods, respectively. Given the rapid technological changes in the industry, we need to invest significant resources in research and development to lead technological advances in order to remain competitive in the market. Therefore, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to be significant. Furthermore, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will continue to achieve technological breakthroughs and successfully commercialize such breakthroughs. As a result, our significant expenditures on research and development may not generate corresponding benefits. If our research and development efforts fail to keep up with the latest technological developments, we would suffer a decline in our competitive position.
In addition to our internal capabilities, we also rely on technologies, technical support and development efforts of third-party research and development partners, suppliers and other external technical resources s to enhance the performance of our vehicles. We plan to upgrade our current and planned models and introduce new models in collaboration with relevant vehicle manufacturers in order to equip our vehicles with the latest technologies, which could involve substantial costs and lower our return on investment for existing models. We cannot assure you that we will be able to equip our vehicles with the latest technologies. Even if we are able to keep pace with technological advancement and develop new models, prior models could become obsolete more quickly than expected, potentially reducing our return on investment.
The refrigerated commercial electric vehicle industry and its technology are rapidly evolving and may be subject to unforeseen changes which could adversely affect the demand for our vehicles or increase our operating costs.
We may be unable to keep up with changes in electric vehicles, the cold-chain logistics industry or alternatives to electricity as a fuel source and, as a result, our competitiveness may suffer. Developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, hydrogen, ethanol, fuel cells, or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine vehicles or the cost of gasoline, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. Existing and other battery cell technologies, fuels or sources of energy may emerge as customers’ preferred alternative to our vehicles. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our vehicles, reduced or delayed revenue generation and a loss of market share to competitors. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in alternative fuel, electric vehicle technology and refrigeration cold chain technology. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our vehicles and related services and solutions with the latest technology. However, our vehicles and related services and solutions may not compete effectively with alternative systems if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our vehicles. Additionally, the introduction and integration of new technologies into our vehicles may increase our costs and capital expenditures required for the production of our vehicles and, if we are unable to cost efficiently implement such technologies or adjust our manufacturing operations, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows would be materially and adversely affected.
Our future growth is dependent upon customers’ willingness to adopt refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related services and solutions. If the market for refrigerated commercial electric vehicles does not develop or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
The market for refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, is relatively new and untested and is expected to experience technology innovation, intense price competition among numerous competitors, evolving regulations and industry standards, and unpredictable customer preferences. Our growth is highly dependent upon customers’ shift towards alternative fuel and electric vehicles.
Factors that may influence the adoption of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles include but are not limited to the following, most of which are beyond our control:
| ● | public perception of the quality, safety, design, performance and cost of vehicles, especially if adverse events or accidents arise that are linked to the quality or safety of our vehicles; |
| ● | general concerns about vehicle safety, including the use of advanced technologies, such as vehicle electronics, autonomous driving and storage and regenerative braking systems; |
| ● | the premium in the anticipated initial purchase prices of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles over those of traditional trucks powered by internal combustion engines or other alternative energy sources, both including and excluding the effect of possible government and other subsidies and incentives designed to promote the purchase of vehicles powered by clean energy; |
| ● | the total cost of ownership of the vehicle over its expected life, which includes the initial purchase price and ongoing operating costs, including charging cost and maintenance costs; |
| ● | the decline of vehicle efficiency resulting from deterioration over time in the ability of the battery to hold a charge; |
| ● | concerns over the availability of charging stations, including those that we or our partners may develop or facilitate, which could impede our present efforts to promote refrigerated commercial electric vehicles as a desirable alternative to traditional diesel trucks for the cold-chain logistics industry. |
| ● | improvements in fuel efficiency of traditional internal combustion engines; |
22
| ● | access to maintenance and repair services, as well as adequate insurance policies, for our vehicles; |
| ● | the availability and terms of financing options for our customers to purchase or lease our vehicles; |
| ● | volatility in the cost of energy, oil, gasoline and hydrogen; |
| ● | the availability of tax benefits and other governmental incentives for purchasing and operating refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, or regulations requiring increased use of non-polluting trucks; |
| ● | the availability of tax benefits and other governmental incentives for the sale of electric commercial vehicles |
| ● | corporate sustainability initiatives; and |
| ● | macroeconomic factors. |
If, in weighing these factors, our potential customers determine that there is not a compelling business justification for purchasing refrigerated commercial electric vehicles in general or those designed and sold by us, then the market for such vehicles may not develop as we expect or may develop more slowly than we expect, which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We and our licensee have a limited number of customers arrangements and non-binding MOUs for our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles or licensed products, and we cannot guarantee that non-binding MOUs of understanding will be converted into actual orders.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have entered into MOUs with 10 potential customers from Asia, Australia and the Middle East and Xinshiya Shanghai has entered into MOUs with 8 potential customers from the PRC and Hong Kong under which we are entitled to a royalty fee for sales, covering approximately 14,000 S1 vehicles in the aggregate. These MOUs are generally non-binding and remain subject to further negotiation, customer requirements, financing arrangements, production schedules and the execution of definitive agreements. Those MOUs with potential customers do not represent assured sales and may not be converted into actual orders. In particular, we or Xinshiya Shanghai cannot ensure that these potential customers have or will have the financial capacity to place orders or that their interest in our products or licensed products will persist. In addition, we and Xinshiya Shanghai have only received limited deposits from some of these potential customers, and they have no obligation to make purchases under those non-binding MOUs. Furthermore, these potential customers may not perform as expected and, therefore, may not have the means or market demand to convert the non-binding MOUs into real orders. If we or Xinshiya Shanghai fails to convert these arrangements into binding orders or secure long-term contracts for volume sales, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. In August 2026, Xinshiya Shanghai entered into a definitive agreement with a customer.
Even if we or Xinshiya Shanghai secures more orders, customers may cancel their orders for various reasons or limit their initial purchases as they assess our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and contemplate a broader transition to other alternative solutions. Their decision-making will depend on the safety, reliability, efficiency and quality of our products or licensed products, as well as the support and service that we or Xinshiya Shanghai are able to provide or facilitate. It will also depend on factors beyond our control or control of Xinshiya Shanghai, such as general market conditions and broader trends in transportation, including fleet management, and the availability and cost of charging infrastructure, and the availability and attractiveness of other clean-energy vehicle solutions. As a result, there is significant uncertainty concerning the demand for our products or licensed products and our potential growth rate.
We have depended on a limited number of vendors, service providers and related parties for a significant portion of our purchases.
For the year ended March 31, 2026, two vendors accounted for 10% or more of our total purchases, representing 42.9% and 14.9%, respectively, of our total purchases for that year. For the year ended March 31, 2025, two other vendors accounted for 10% or more of our total purchases, representing 30.9% and 26.9%, respectively, of our total purchases for that year.
These arrangements did not consist primarily of raw material supply or contract manufacturing arrangements. Instead, our concentrated purchases during the periods presented consisted primarily of (i) intangible assets and demo vehicles purchased from Beijing Xinshiya Technology Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Beijing, and rent paid to Abu Dhabi Ports Company PJSC for a plot of land in the United Arab Emirates for the year ended March 31, 2026, and (ii) visual identity system design services and outsourced human resources services provided by third-party vendors for the year ended March 31, 2025. The design services have been completed, and the human resource outsourcing service contract expired on March 31, 2025. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of SINGAUTO - Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations - Related-party transactions and concentration” for more information.
23
Our historical reliance on a limited number of vendors and related parties may expose us to concentration risk, related-party dependency risk and liquidity risk. Although certain of the arrangements described above have been completed or have expired, we may continue to rely on a limited number of vendors, service providers or related parties in the future. If any such vendor or service provider terminates or materially changes its relationship with us, increases pricing, changes payment terms, is unable or unwilling to continue to provide services, technology support or funding, or if we are unable to obtain comparable services or financing from alternative third parties on acceptable terms or in a timely manner, our research and development activities, commercialization plans, liquidity, cost structure and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, because certain of these arrangements involve related parties, conflicts of interest may arise. There can be no assurance that historical or future related-party arrangements will be on terms as favorable to us as those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Any unfavorable change in these arrangements, any inability to replace them with third-party arrangements, or any failure to manage related-party conflicts appropriately could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yuqiang Liu, indirectly controls Xinshiya Shanghai, our licensed commercial partner in the PRC, which may give rise to conflicts of interest and could adversely affect our commercialization strategy.
We have granted Xinshiya Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Shanghai, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use certain of our intellectual property solely within the PRC, in exchange for a royalty equal to 22% of Xinshiya Shanghai’s net sales from our products within the PRC, pursuant to an intellectual property license agreement dated March 9, 2026, or the Intellectual Property License Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” and “Business of SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” for more information. Xinshiya Shanghai is indirectly controlled by Mr. Yuqiang Liu, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, through his approximately 78.5% ownership interest in Singauto Tech Inc., which holds Singauto Limited (HK), the parent company of Xinshiya Shanghai. As a result, Mr. Liu has interests in both SINGAUTO and Xinshiya Shanghai, which could give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interest in connection with the terms and administration of the Intellectual Property License Agreement and our PRC commercialization strategy.
These conflicts may include, among other things, conflicts relating to royalty pricing, royalty calculation and reporting, audit arrangements, collection and timing of payments, customer allocation, decisions whether to amend, renew or terminate the Intellectual Property License Agreement, and any future decision by SINGAUTO to directly enter the PRC market or appoint additional licensees. Although the royalty rate was determined on an arm’s-length basis and the Intellectual Property License Agreement provides us with audit rights to verify royalty calculations, we cannot assure you that the terms of this arrangement are or will remain as favorable to us as terms we could obtain from an unaffiliated third party.
Although we have no current plans to directly market or sell vehicles in the PRC ourselves or to appoint additional licensees in the PRC and, accordingly, do not currently expect to compete with Xinshiya Shanghai in the PRC market, the license granted to Xinshiya Shanghai is non-exclusive, and we retain the right to grant similar licenses to other parties in the PRC or to otherwise exploit our intellectual property in the PRC ourselves. Any future competition between SINGAUTO or its other licensees and Xinshiya Shanghai, any failure by Xinshiya Shanghai to accurately report or timely pay royalties, any dispute regarding the terms or performance of the Intellectual Property License Agreement, or any termination or material amendment of the agreement could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products and technologies in the PRC market and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If there is inadequate access to charging infrastructure in the markets in which we operate or intend to operate, our business will be materially and adversely affected.
Demand for our vehicles will depend in part upon the availability of a charging infrastructure. We may seek to support our customers’ charging needs through charging-related solutions, including, where practicable and directly or through partners, customer-location or depot-based charger installation and access to third-party publicly accessible charging infrastructure. We have very limited experience in the actual provision of our charging solutions to customers and providing these services is subject to challenges, which include:
| ● | successful integration with existing third-party charging networks; | |
| ● | inadequate capacity or over capacity in certain areas, security risks or risk of damage to vehicles, charging equipment or real or personal property; | |
| ● | access to sufficient charging infrastructure; | |
| ● | obtaining any required permits, land use rights and filings; | |
| ● | the potential for lack of customer acceptance of our charging solutions; and | |
| ● | the risk that government support for EV and alternative fuel solutions and infrastructure may not continue. |
24
While the prevalence of charging stations generally has been increasing, charging station locations are significantly less widespread than petrol stations. Some potential customers may choose not to purchase our vehicles because of the lack of a more widespread charging infrastructure. Further, to provide our customers with access to sufficient charging infrastructure, we will rely on the availability of, and successful integration of our vehicles with, third-party charging networks. Any failure of third-party charging networks to meet customer expectations or needs, including quality of experience, could impact the demand for electric vehicles, including ours. For example, where charging bays exist, the number of vehicles could oversaturate the available charging bays, leading to increased wait times and dissatisfaction for customers. In addition, given our limited experience in providing charging solutions, there could be unanticipated challenges, which may hinder our ability to provide our solutions or make the provision of our solutions costlier than anticipated. To the extent we are unable to meet user expectations or experience difficulties in providing our charging solutions, our reputation and business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
We may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or our shareholders or at all when needed.
The design, development and commercialization of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and the operation of cold-chain logistic ecosystem are capital-intensive businesses. Our business plan to develop and commercialize our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related support services will require continued capital investment to fund operations, continue research and development activities and establish or improve manufacturing and operational facilities. Although we have obtained financing to date, we cannot assure you that we will have access to additional capital required for our operations on favorable terms when required or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. We may raise funds by issuing debt securities or through loan arrangements, which could come with high-interest payments, covenants that restrict our business, or other unfavorable terms. We may also raise funds by issuing additional equity securities, which could dilute our existing shareholders.
We had negative net cash flows from operating activities in the past and have not been profitable, which may continue in the future.
We incurred net losses of approximately US$7.2 million and US$9.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, and we have not been profitable since our inception. In addition, we had net cash used in operating activities of approximately US$7.5 million and US$2.7 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. We have made significant up-front investments in research and development, commercialization infrastructure, support capabilities, and sales and marketing to establish and expand our business. We expect to continue to invest significantly in these areas to commercialize and grow our business.
We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues, and we may incur substantial losses for a number of reasons, including insufficient demand for our products and services, increasing competition, challenging macroeconomic environment, and other risks discussed herein. We may also incur unforeseen expenses, or encounter difficulties, complications, or delays in generating revenue or achieving profitability. If we fail to achieve profitability, we may have to reduce the scale of our operations, which will impede our business growth. In addition, our continuous operations depend on our capability to obtain sufficient external equity or debt financing. If we do not succeed in doing so, we may need to curtail our operations, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.
We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations.
We will require significant capital to develop and grow our business, including developing and commercializing our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, continued investment in research and development, and building our brand. We expect to incur significant expenses, including research and development expenses, leases, sales and distribution expenses as we build our brand and market our products and services, and general and administrative expenses as we scale our operations, which will impact our profitability. Our ability to become profitable in the future will not only depend on our ability to market our vehicles and other products and services successfully but also to control our costs. If we are unable to cost-efficiently design, develop, manufacture or arrange for the manufacture of, market, sell, distribute and service our vehicles and provide or facilitate related services, or cost-efficiently participate in the above activities, our margins, profitability and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.
25
If we fail to scale our business operations or otherwise manage our future growth effectively as we seek to commercialize and grow our company, we may not be able to produce, market, service and sell (or lease) our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles or related products and services successfully.
We intend to expand our operations significantly, which will require hiring, retaining and training new personnel, controlling expenses, establishing facilities or expanding manufacturing, sales, service and operational capabilities, and implementing administrative infrastructure, systems, and processes. For example, we currently plan to expand our manufacturing and supply chain operations into selected international markets, including through our planned KD/SKD manufacturing and commercialization strategy. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Risks that we face in undertaking this expansion include, among others:
| ● | attracting and hiring skilled and qualified personnel to support our expanded operations at existing facilities or operations at any facilities we may construct, lease or use in the future; |
| ● | managing a larger organization with a greater number of employees in different functions and geographies; |
| ● | training and integrating new employees into our operations to meet the growing demands of our business; |
| ● | controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations; |
| ● | establishing or expanding design, manufacturing, sales, charging and service facilities; |
| ● | managing regulatory requirements and permits, labor issues and controlling costs in connection with the construction of additional facilities or the expansion of existing facilities; |
| ● | implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes; and |
| ● | addressing any new markets and potentially unforeseen challenges as they arise. |
We may fail to compete effectively in the zero-emission cold-chain transportation industry.
We expect competition in the emerging zero-emission commercial transportation and cold-chain logistics solutions industry to intensify as new automakers and established automotive players enter the market. Many of our current and potential competitors have more financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than we do, and may be able to devote significant resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products.
Factors affecting competition include, among others, product quality and features, innovation and development time, pricing, reliability, safety, energy efficiency, sales and marketing capabilities, distribution network, customer service and financing terms. Increased competition may lead to lower expected vehicle sales, longer sales cycles, increased customer acquisition costs, increased inventory or downward pricing pressure. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully. Our competitors may introduce new vehicles or services that surpass the quality or performance of ours, which would adversely affect our competitive position in the market. They may also offer vehicles at more competitive prices, which would have an adverse impact on our commercialization prospects, margins and path to profitability. In addition, rapid technological shifts could render our products outdated, and our research and development might not keep pace or innovate effectively. As a result, we may lose any technological or competitive advantages we may have. Any of the foregoing would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic subsidies could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of electric vehicles or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel and electric vehicle industry generally or our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles in particular. Certain tax credits, subsidies and other incentives for alternative fuel, electric vehicles, clean transportation initiatives or related technologies may be available in certain jurisdictions, including to customers purchasing such vehicles or other eligible market participants, but there is no guarantee these programs will be available in the future or that our vehicles, customers or business partners will qualify for them. If applicable government subsidies, tax credits or other incentives are reduced, eliminated or not available in the future, customer adoption of our vehicles, our commercialization prospects and our financial condition could be harmed.
26
Performance issues with our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles could adversely affect our commercialization, reputation and future sales.
Potential design or manufacturing defects in our refrigerated commercial electric may prevent them from meeting performance standards or necessitate repairs. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to detect and fix all the defects in the vehicles’ hardware or software prior to commencing sales. In addition, the performance of our vehicles may not live up to customer expectations or be comparable with other competing vehicles in the market. Any product defects or perceived underperformance can lead to negative publicity, loss of future revenue or anticipated revenue, delays in deliveries, recalls, liability claims, and substantial warranty and related costs, which in turn would materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We have minimal experience servicing and repairing our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles. If we or our partners are unable to adequately service our vehicles, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
We have minimal experience servicing and repairing our vehicles. Servicing refrigerated commercial electric vehicles is different than servicing vehicles with internal combustion engines and requires specialized skills, including refrigeration knowledge, high voltage training and servicing techniques. We are developing related support and fleet-management capabilities in connection with our vehicle products, including telematics functions, maintenance support, software update capabilities and fleet-management solutions. We may provide certain services directly or through third-party service partners, dealers, service providers, charging infrastructure providers or other local partners. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into an acceptable arrangement with any such third-party providers. Although such servicing partners may have experience in servicing other vehicles, they will initially have limited experience in servicing our vehicles. There can be no assurance that our service arrangements will adequately address the service requirements of our customers to their satisfaction, or that we and our servicing partners will have sufficient resources, experience, or inventory to meet these service requirements in a timely manner as the volume of refrigerated commercial electric vehicles we deliver increases.
As a result, if we are unable to develop localized service infrastructure or establish an effective service partner network that complies with applicable laws, customer satisfaction could be adversely affected, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our reputation and thus our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
As we continue to grow, additional pressure may be placed on our customer support team or partners, and we may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for technical support. Customer behavior and usage may result in higher-than-expected maintenance and repair costs, which may negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We also may be unable to modify the future scope and delivery of our technical support to compete with changes in the technical support provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and negatively affect our results of operations. If we are unable to successfully address the service requirements of our customers or establish a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, we may be subject to claims from our customers, including loss of future revenue or anticipated revenue or damages, and our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
We may incur material losses and costs as a result of warranty claims, product recalls, and product liabilities that may be brought against us.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to warranty claims and product liability in the event that our vehicles or related products fail to perform as expected and, in the case of product liability, such failure results in bodily injury or property damage.
If flaws in the design or manufacture of our vehicles or related products were to occur, we could experience a rate of failure in our products that could result in significant delays in delivery and product re-work or replacement costs. Although we conduct research, development, testing and validation activities, these may not be sufficient to avoid product failures, which could cause us to:
| ● | lose future revenue or anticipated revenue; |
| ● | incur increased costs, such as warranty expenses and costs associated with customer support; |
| ● | experience delays, cancellations, or rescheduling of orders for our products; |
| ● | experience increased future product returns or discounts; or |
| ● | experience reputation damage. |
27
All of these could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
If any of our vehicles or related products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall involving such products. A recall claim brought against us or a product liability claim brought against us may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may be subject to risks associated with autonomous driving technology.
Our refrigerated commercial electric vehicle may be designed with connectivity and hardware or software interfaces to support the future integration of third-party autonomous-driving technologies. We currently expect to rely on third-party technology providers, rather than developing autonomous-driving technologies in-house, to implement autonomous-driving capabilities for our vehicles. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to identify a third party to provide the necessary hardware and software to enable driverless Level 4 or Level 4+ autonomy in an acceptable timeframe, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. Autonomous driving technologies are subject to risks and there have been accidents and fatalities associated with such technologies. The safety of such technologies depends in part on system performance, operating environment, user interaction and the behavior of other road users, who may not be accustomed to using or adapting to such technologies. To the extent accidents associated with third-party autonomous-driving technologies integrated into or used with our vehicles occur, we could be subject to liability, negative publicity, government scrutiny and further regulation. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.
Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and key components, particularly battery cells or battery packs, could harm our business.
We may experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of raw materials and key components. Any such increase or supply interruption could materially negatively impact our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. We, together with our OEMs, suppliers and manufacturing partners use various raw materials and components, including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, non-ferrous metals, such as copper, cobalt and other materials used in electric vehicles and battery cells or battery packs. The prices for these raw materials fluctuate depending on market conditions and global demand, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For instance, we are exposed to multiple risks relating to price fluctuations for lithium-ion cells. These risks include:
| ● | the inability or unwillingness of current battery manufacturers to build or operate battery cell manufacturing plants to supply the numbers of battery cells required to support the growth of the electric vehicle industry as demand for such cells increases; |
| ● | disruption in the supply of battery cells due to quality issues or recalls by the battery cell manufacturers; and |
| ● | an increase in the cost of raw materials, such as cobalt, used in battery cells. |
Any disruption in the supply of battery cells, battery packs or other key components could temporarily disrupt the production, assembly or deliveries of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles until a different supplier is fully qualified. Furthermore, fluctuations or shortages in petroleum and other economic conditions, as well as geopolitical conflicts or instability in the regions in which we operate or plan to operate, may cause us to experience significant increases in freight charges and raw material costs and could delay our construction, manufacturing and commercialization plans. For example, although we currently expect our planned manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi to become ready for production in or around the second half of 2027, developments in the conflict involving Iran may affect regional operating conditions, including labor and shipping costs, contractor availability, construction schedules, equipment installation, logistics coordination, regulatory or administrative processes and supply chain readiness, any of which could delay the readiness of the Abu Dhabi facility. Any continued or further delay in the construction of our UAE factory could increase our costs, require us to rely on alternative manufacturing or assembly arrangements, and adversely affect our ability to commence or scale production and deliveries on our expected timeline. Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials and key components would increase our expected production and operating costs and could reduce our margins if the increased costs cannot be recouped through increased refrigerated commercial electric vehicles prices. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recoup the increasing costs of raw materials or key components by increasing future vehicle prices.
Our vehicles rely on highly complex, high-voltage lithium-ion battery packs that are subject to risks of thermal runaway, catching fire, or venting smoke and flames, which could result in severe property damage, personal injury, and material adverse effects on our brand and financial condition.
The battery packs installed in our vehicles make use of lithium-ion cells. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as adjacent cells, a cascade phenomenon commonly referred to as “thermal runaway.” Thermal runaway can be triggered by a variety of factors, including internal physical or electrical shorts, manufacturing defects, software malfunctions within the battery management system, improper charging protocols, exposure to extreme operating temperatures, or severe mechanical damage sustained during a vehicle collision.
Any thermal runaway event, explosion, or fire involving our vehicles—or even highly publicized incidents involving the electric vehicles of our competitors—could result in significant property damage, personal injury, or fatalities. Such incidents could subject us to substantial product liability claims, extensive warranty expenses, and costly mandatory or voluntary product recalls. Furthermore, battery safety incidents could result in heightened regulatory scrutiny, investigations, and safety mandates from government agencies. Because the electric vehicle market is still developing, any negative public perception, consumer hesitation, or intense media coverage surrounding EV battery fires could severely damage our corporate reputation, diminish consumer confidence in our safety standards, and ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are highly dependent on the global supply of semiconductors and other critical electronic components. Any prolonged shortage, supply chain disruption, or geopolitical trade restriction could materially adversely affect our production schedules and financial results.
Our refrigerated commercial electric logistics vehicles require numerous high-technology components, including semiconductors and other electronic components. The global automotive industry has historically experienced, and continues to be vulnerable to, severe shortages of semiconductors and other electronic components. Our supply chain is global and highly complex. We source, and expect to continue to source, components from suppliers who, in turn, rely on semiconductor foundries concentrated in a limited number of geographic regions, and our ability to obtain these components may be affected by conditions in those regions and by the operations of our suppliers and their upstream suppliers.
Consequently, our production capabilities, production readiness and commercialization plans are subject to risks beyond our control, including global foundry capacity constraints, natural disasters in manufacturing hubs, and escalating geopolitical tensions or trade disputes that could disrupt the global flow of microelectronics. Even though certain U.S. or international export controls and trade sanctions regarding semiconductors may be targeted at specific countries, these macro-economic policies can disrupt the broader global supply chain, increase our component costs, or force our tier-one suppliers into production bottlenecks. If we are unable to secure a stable, cost-effective supply of semiconductors and other critical electronic components, we may be forced to delay the production and delivery of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles or the implementation of our KD/SKD manufacturing model, remove certain advanced features from our vehicles, or pay significant premiums to secure parts on the open market, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, brand reputation, commercialization plans, results of operations, and financial condition.
28
Any adverse change in our cooperation with our business partners could harm our business.
Strategic business relationships are and will continue to be an important factor in the growth and success of our business. We have formed and expect to continue to form partnerships with other companies across various industries to support our business initiatives. For example, we have established or may seek to established strategic collaborations with third-party research and development partners, OEMs, suppliers, manufacturing partners and distribution partners to support the commercialization and production of for mass production of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles. We have also collaborated with other industry participants to develop a variety of technologies suitable for the cold-chain logistics industry. Our ongoing success depends on maintaining these relationships and forging new ones, especially with partners offering key components and parts, manufacturing, distribution, research and development, technical support and related services. If we are unable to maintain the existing partnerships, or if we fail to identify and negotiate additional ones that are essential to our future expansion or success on favorable terms or at all, we may incur increased costs to develop and provide these capabilities on our own, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Collaboration with third parties is subject to challenges and risks, some of which are beyond our control. For example, certain collaboration agreements may grant our partners or us the right to terminate such agreements for cause or without cause. In addition, such agreements may contain certain exclusivity provisions which, if triggered, could preclude us from working with other businesses with superior technologies or other preferred business partners.
We could experience delays in the development, commercialization or delivery of products and services if our business partners do not meet agreed-upon timelines or experience capacity constraints. We could also have disagreements with our business partners in budget or funding for any joint development project. Disputes with business partners, including with respect to intellectual property rights, could arise in the future. Moreover, if our existing collaborations were to be terminated, we may be unable to find alternative ones on terms and conditions acceptable to us in time, or at all. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business depends substantially on the continued efforts of our executive officers, key employees and qualified personnel, and our operations may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
Our success depends substantially on the continued efforts of our executive officers and key employees with expertise in various areas, who are or may in the future assume roles and positions in our affiliated entities or other business entities and may, as a result, not be able to devote their full efforts to our affairs. If one or more of our executive officers or key employees were unable or unwilling to continue their services with us, we may not be able to replace them easily in a timely manner, or at all. As we build up our brand awareness and become more well-known, the risk that competitors or other companies may poach our talent increases.
Our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, and therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract or retain qualified staff or other highly skilled employees. In addition, because we are operating in a new and challenging industry that requires continuous innovations of technologies and solutions, we may not be able to hire qualified individuals with sufficient training in a timely manner, and we will need to spend significant time and resources training the employees we hire. Furthermore, as our Company is relatively young, our ability to train and integrate new employees into our operations may not meet the growing demands of our business, which may materially and adversely affect our ability to grow our business and our results of operations.
If any executive officer or key employee terminates his or her services with us, our business may be severely disrupted, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train, and retain qualified personnel. If any executive officer or key employee joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, know-how, and key professionals and staff members. While each of our executive officers and key employees has entered into an employment agreement with non-compete covenants with us, such non-compete covenants may not always be enforceable under Singapore law. Under Singapore law, post-employment non-competition restrictions are generally regarded as restraints of trade and are unenforceable unless they are shown to protect a legitimate proprietary interest, such as confidential information, trade secrets or customer relationships, and are reasonable in scope, duration and consistent with the public interest. Singapore courts scrutinise such restrictions closely, and there is no assurance that these covenants will be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction. If these restrictions are found unenforceable, we may be unable to prevent former executive officers or key employees from competing with us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to expand on our intellectual property portfolio or otherwise develop the technology needed to operate our business.
Our ability to refine and grow our portfolio of intellectual property and technology depends on many factors, including our ability to attract and retain a skilled technical workforce, engage and maintain relationships with qualified research and development partners and devote sufficient resources to research and development efforts. Our failure to continue the development of our intellectual property and technology portfolio could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Any unauthorized access or control of our vehicles and systems of our vehicles and related systems could result in loss of confidence in us and our vehicles and harm our business.
Our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related systems, or are expected to contain complex information technology systems and built-in data connectivity to accept and install periodic remote updates to improve or update functionality. We seek to implement, security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to our information technology networks, our vehicles and related systems. However, hackers may attempt to gain unauthorized access to modify, alter or use such networks and systems to gain control of or to change functionality of our vehicles and related systems, user interface or performance characteristics, or to gain access to data stored in or generated by our vehicles and related systems. Future vulnerabilities could be identified and our efforts to remediate such vulnerabilities may not be successful. Any unauthorized access to or control of our vehicles and related systems, or any loss of customer, vehicle or operational data, could result in legal claims or proceedings. Any actual, alleged or perceived unauthorized access to or loss of customer, vehicle, operational or other data could also subject us to regulatory inquiries, notification obligations, contractual claims, litigation, remediation costs and reputational harm. In addition, regardless of their veracity, reports of unauthorized access to our vehicles, related systems or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that vehicles, systems or data are capable of being “hacked,” could negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
29
Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impact our ability to support our vehicles and related services.
Our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles are equipped with intelligent functions and data connectivity capabilities that can collect and analyze vehicle information, which may be used to monitor vehicle performance and support related services. The availability and effectiveness of our planned support and fleet-management capabilities depend on the continued operation of information technology and communications systems, which we are developing. Our systems, and the systems of third-party service providers on which we may rely, may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, fire, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems. Some of our systems or third-party systems on which we rely may not be fully redundant, and our business continuity and disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. Any interruption or failure of these systems could result in disruptions to our vehicle support, telematics, software update, remote diagnostics, fleet-management or other related capabilities. In addition, our vehicles and related services are highly technical and complex and may contain errors or vulnerabilities, which could result in interruptions in our business or the failure of our systems.
Breaches in data security, failure of Technology Systems, cyber-attacks or other security or privacy-related incidents affecting us or our vendors and suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and brand, harm our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and subject us to legal or regulatory fines or damages.
We rely on computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure, online sites, connected-vehicle, automated and other emerging technologies and networks for both internal and external operations (collectively, “Technology Systems”). We own and manage some of these Technology Systems but also rely on third parties for a range of Technology Systems and related products and services, including but not limited to cloud computing services. We and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about potential customers, employees, business partners and others, including information that relates to individuals and/or constitutes “personal data,” “personal information,” “personally identifiable information,” or similar terms under applicable data privacy laws (collectively, “Personal Information”) as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (together, “Confidential Information”). We also engage in certain relationships where we share Confidential Information with our business partners. Threats to our, our partners’ and our vendors and suppliers’ Technology Systems are increasingly diverse and sophisticated and we face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our Technology Systems and Confidential Information.
Malicious actors, including sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors, engage in intrusions and attacks that create risks for our and our vendors and suppliers’ Technology Systems, vehicles, products and services and the information they store and process, including malicious code (such as viruses and worms), phishing attempts, employee theft or misuse, denial of service attacks, and ransomware attacks. Although we have implemented security measures designed to prevent such attacks, our networks and systems may be breached due to the actions of outside parties, employee error, malfeasance, insufficient security measures or controls, a combination of these, or otherwise, and as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our Technology Systems or data, resulting in data being publicly disclosed, altered, lost, or stolen, which could subject us to liability and adversely impact our financial condition. Further, any breach in our data security could allow malicious parties to access sensitive systems, such as our vehicle systems, connected-vehicle features and related technology platforms. Such access could adversely impact the safety of our employees and customers. While we seek to learn from all attacks directed at us and implement remedial measures where necessary under our cybersecurity and information security processes, and we expect our suppliers to maintain appropriate safeguards, we cannot guarantee that such remedial measures will prevent material cybersecurity incidents in the future. We also face increasing and evolving disclosure obligations related to cyber and other security events. Despite our cybersecurity risk management processes, we may fail to meet our existing or future disclosure obligations and/or may have our disclosures misinterpreted.
Remote and hybrid working arrangements at our Company and at many third-party vendors and suppliers also increase cybersecurity risks due to the challenges associated with managing remote computing assets and security vulnerabilities that are present in many non-corporate and home networks. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence, automated technologies, connected-vehicle technologies, telematics, remote diagnostics, fleet-management tools, OTA updates and other software-enabled functions in our or any suppliers’ operations, products or services may pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges. Any actual, alleged or perceived failure to prevent a security breach or to comply with our privacy policies or privacy-related legal obligations, failure in our systems or networks, or any other actual, alleged, or perceived data security incident we or our suppliers suffer, could result in damage to our reputation; negative publicity; loss of potential customers and sales or commercial opportunities; loss of competitive advantages; increased costs to remedy any problems and provide any required notifications, including to regulators and individuals, and otherwise respond to any incident; regulatory investigations and enforcement actions; costly litigation; and other liabilities. In addition, we may incur significant financial and operational costs to investigate, remediate and implement additional tools, devices, and systems designed to prevent actual or perceived security breaches, and other security or privacy-related incidents. Further, we could also be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and potential liability under laws, (including class actions) regulations, and contracts that protect the privacy and security of Personal Information. Any of these negative outcomes could adversely impact the market perception of our products and customer and investor confidence in our Company, and could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property rights infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and costly.
Entities or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other proprietary rights that could prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell, or market our products, services, or technologies, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. From time to time, we may receive communications from intellectual property rights holders regarding their proprietary rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise assert their rights and urge us to take licenses. Our development, commercialization or use of intellectual property relating to our vehicle design, technologies, software, brands or related services could be alleged or found to infringe upon existing intellectual property rights. If we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following:
| ● | cease selling or incorporating certain components into our products or services, or offering products or services that incorporate or use the challenged intellectual property; |
| ● | pay substantial damages; |
| ● | seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; |
| ● | redesign our products; or |
| ● | establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services. |
30
In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our subsequent failure or inability to obtain a license for the infringed technology or other intellectual property right, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, parties making the infringement claim may also obtain an injunction that can prevent us from selling our products or using technology, components or other intellectual property that contains the allegedly infringing content. Any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity, and diversion of resources and management attention.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights which may adversely affect our competitive position and disrupt our business.
We believe that our patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property are essential to our success. We have devoted considerable time and energy to the development and improvement of our proprietary products, platforms and technologies, including our vehicle products, software and related intellectual property. We rely primarily on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other contractual restrictions for the protection of the intellectual property used in our business. Nevertheless, these measures only provide limited protection and the actions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Third parties may infringe upon or misappropriate our intellectual property. Our trade secrets, proprietary know-how or other non-patentable technology may become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. Infringement upon or misappropriation of, our trade secrets, proprietary know-how or other non-patentable technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we have taken steps to protect our proprietary rights, such steps may not be adequate to prevent the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property.
Filing, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing and defending patents and other intellectual property rights owned by or licensed to us on our proprietary vehicle products and products under development could be prohibitively expensive for us. We cannot assure you that any of our patent applications will ultimately proceed to registration or will result in registration with adequate scope for our business. Some of our pending applications or registrations may be successfully challenged or invalidated by others. If our patent applications are not successful, we may have to develop different ones or seek to enter into arrangements with any third parties who may have prior registrations, applications or rights, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Proceedings to enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.
We rely on certain intellectual property arrangements in connection with our business, and any lapse, termination or unenforceability of these arrangements could adversely affect our operations, commercialization strategy and financial results.
We have entered into certain intellectual property-related arrangements, including an intangible asset and demo car purchase agreement with Xinshiya Beijing, an intellectual property cooperation agreement and related deed of waiver involving Xinshiya Beijing, and an intellectual property license agreement with Xinshiya Shanghai. These arrangements relate to, among other things, our acquisition and use of certain technology, intellectual property rights and demo vehicle assets for refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, the ownership, licensing, commercialization, prosecution and enforcement of certain licensed patents, and the licensing of certain of our intellectual property for use in the PRC in exchange for royalties or other consideration. See “Information About SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” for more information.
If any of these arrangements were to lapse, terminate or become unenforceable, including as a result of a breach of contract, termination in accordance with its terms, force majeure or other circumstances beyond our control, we may not be able to use the relevant intellectual property rights in our business, receive the applicable consideration or royalties, or pursue our commercialization plans as originally contemplated. In such circumstances, we would need to seek alternative arrangements, which may include negotiating a new license or cooperation arrangement with the relevant counterparty or with a third party, acquiring or independently developing substitute technology or brands, or modifying, rebranding or discontinuing the affected products or services. We cannot assure you that any such alternative arrangement would be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. We may further be unable to perform our obligations to our customers in respect of products or services that depend on the affected rights, which could expose us to claims for breach of contract, result in the loss of key customer relationships and damage our reputation in the markets in which we operate. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Where the affected agreements are those under which we receive royalties or other consideration, the loss of that income could also affect our financial results. As such income is earned with limited associated cost, a reduction may affect our operating profit and margins to a greater extent than the reduction in revenue alone would suggest, and may reduce the cash flows available to fund our operations. Amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of any lapse or termination may not be recoverable in full, and we may not be able to identify a substitute licensee on comparable terms.
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or if our employees, contractors, consultants or other personnel wrongfully use or disclose alleged trade secrets of their former employers, our business would be harmed.
In addition to our issued patents and pending patent applications, we rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technical information, engineering methods, software-related information and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position and to protect our products and products under development. We conduct research and development activities through a combination of internal coordination and collaborations with third-party research and development partners. As a result, our proprietary information may be accessed by our employees, external business partners, advisors, consultants and other third parties. We seek to protect these trade secrets and proprietary information, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements or including such undertakings in the agreement with parties that have access to them. However, any of these parties may breach such agreements and disclose our proprietary information, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. If any of our trade secrets were lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us and our competitive position would be harmed.
In addition, we may be subject to claims that we, our employees, contractors, consultants or other personnel have wrongfully used or disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of their former employers or other third parties. We may also be unsuccessful in executing confidentiality, invention assignment or similar agreements with each party who develops intellectual property that we regard as our own, which may result in claims by or against us relating to the ownership, use or protection of such intellectual property. Non-competition or similar restrictive covenants may not always be enforceable under applicable law, and we may be unable to prevent former employees or other personnel from competing with us or using knowledge obtained while working with us. If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or be restricted from using certain technology or information. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our management and technical personnel.
31
We face various challenges and risks in connection with our expansion into overseas markets.
As we expand our geographic reach and service offerings through localized partnerships or acting as upstream technology licensor, we will face risks associated with expanding into markets in which we have limited or no experience. We or our licensee may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers and business partners, fail to anticipate competitive conditions or face difficulties in operating effectively in these new markets. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have entered into MOUs with 10 potential customers from Asia, Australia and the Middle East and Xinshiya Shanghai has entered into MOUs with 8 potential customers from the PRC and Hong Kong under which we are entitled to a royalty fee for sales. Xinshiya Shanghai entered into a definitive agreement with a customer in August 2026. The expansion of our planned global and cross-border business activities will also expose us to risks inherent in operating businesses globally, including, but not limited to:
| ● | inability to recruit international and local talents and deal with challenges in replicating or adapting our company policies and procedures to operating environments different from those of Singapore; |
| ● | lack of acceptance of the product and service offerings; |
| ● | disruptions in the supply chain; |
| ● | investigations regarding anti-dumping, trade wars, geopolitical tensions, wars, armed conflicts, political instability and general economic or political conditions in particular countries or regions; |
| ● | challenges and increased expenses associated with staffing and managing global and cross-border operations and managing an organization spread over multiple jurisdictions; |
| ● | trade barriers, such as import and export restrictions, tariffs, customs duties and other taxes, competition law regimes and other trade restrictions, as well as other protectionist policies; |
| ● | differing and potentially adverse tax consequences; |
| ● | increased and conflicting regulatory compliance requirements; |
| ● | adaption to different industry practices; |
| ● | challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences; |
| ● | the impact of widespread health epidemics or other outbreaks, and natural disasters; |
| ● | increased costs to protect the security and stability of our information technology systems, intellectual property and personal data, including compliance costs related to data localization laws; and |
| ● | availability and reliability of cross-border payment systems and logistics infrastructure |
As we expand further into new regions and markets, these risks could intensify, and efforts we make to expand our overseas businesses and operations may not be successful. Failure to expand our overseas businesses and operations could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have limited insurance coverage, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.
We currently have limited liability insurance coverage for our business operations. Although we have not commenced commercial sales of our vehicles or generated revenue from vehicle sales or related services, we may become subject to product liability claims, personal injury claims or other claims in connection with our products, services or business operations as we move toward commercialization. A successful claim against us, regardless of whether due to injuries suffered by our product users, could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we do not have business disruption insurance. Any business disruption event could result in substantial costs to us and the diversion of our resources.
32
We may not succeed in continuing to establish, maintain, and strengthen our brand, and our brand and reputation could be harmed by negative publicity with respect to us, our directors, officers, employees, shareholders, peers, business partners, or our industry in general.
Our business and prospects are affected by our ability to develop, maintain, and strengthen our brand. If we fail to do so we may lose the opportunity to build business relationships with potential customers. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend significantly on our ability to provide innovative and high-quality products and services, in which we have limited experience. In addition, we expect that our ability to develop, maintain, and strengthen the brand will depend heavily on the success of our branding efforts. We expect to market our brand through media, word-of-mouth, trade shows and advertising. Such efforts may not achieve the desired results. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Our reputation and brand are vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to predict, control and costly or impossible to remediate. From time to time, our products and our business operations may be reviewed by media or other third parties. Any negative reviews or reviews that compare us unfavorably to competitors could adversely affect public perception about our products and services. Negative publicity about us, such as alleged misconduct, unethical business practices or other improper activities, or rumours relating to our business, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, affiliates or actual or potential business partners can harm our reputation, business, and results of operations, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. These allegations, even if unproven or meritless, may lead to inquiries, investigations, or other legal actions against us by regulatory or government authorities as well as private parties. Any regulatory inquiries or investigations and lawsuits against us, perceptions of inappropriate business conduct by us, or perceived wrongdoings by any member of our management team, among other things, could substantially damage our reputation, and cause us to incur significant costs to defend ourselves. Any negative market perception or publicity regarding our suppliers or other business partners that we closely cooperate with or may cooperate with, or any regulatory inquiries or investigations and lawsuits initiated against them, may also have an adverse effect on our brand and reputation, or subject us to regulatory inquiries or investigations or lawsuits. Moreover, any negative media publicity about electric vehicles, especially the product or service quality problems of other players in the industry in which we operate, including our competitors, may also adversely affect our reputation and brand. In particular, given the popularity of social media, any negative publicity, whether true or not, could quickly proliferate and harm customer and user perceptions and confidence in our brand. If we are unable to maintain a good reputation or further enhance our brand recognition, our ability to attract and retain customers and potential customers, third-party business partners, and key employees could be harmed and, as a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We may from time to time be subject to claims, disputes, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings.
We may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property, data privacy, product liability, employment, class action, whistle-blower and other litigation claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability, or require us to change our business practices. In addition, the expense of litigation and the timing of this expense from period to period are difficult to estimate, subject to change, and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We will be subject to risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes and credit risk.
We intend to operate in multiple target markets internationally and as such will be exposed to risks stemming from fluctuations in currency and interest rates. Our exposure to currency risk will be mainly linked to differences in the geographic distribution of our manufacturing and commercial activities, resulting in cash flows from sales being denominated in currencies different from those of purchases or production activities.
We may use various forms of financing to cover future funding requirements for our activities and changes in interest rates can affect our net revenues, finance costs and margins. We may also be exposed to credit risk if our customers, business partners, financing partners or other counterparties fail to make payments or perform their obligations when due.
In addition, although we may manage risks associated with fluctuations in currency and interest rates through financial hedging instruments, fluctuations in currency or interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
33
We are subject to various environmental, safety and other laws and regulations relevant to our business that could impose substantial costs upon us and cause delays in selling our products.
We are subject to multiple environmental, safety and other laws and regulations related to our business, especially the development, manufacture, assembly, sale of our refrigerated commercial electric vehicles. These laws and regulations may apply to, among other things, product safety, vehicle sales, manufacturing or assembly activities, occupational health and safety, environmental protection, waste disposal and, where applicable, the use, storage, handling, discharge, recycling and disposal of batteries, components, waste and other regulated materials. As we move forward commercialization, we, our manufacturing partners or other local partners may be required to obtain vehicle sale approvals, environmental protection permits, waste disposal permits, occupational health and safety approvals and other relevant permits, licenses or approvals in the jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain, maintain or renew such permits in a timely manner.
In addition, from time to time, governments and regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate may issue new regulations, which may require additional actions on our part, or on the part of our manufacturing partners or other local partners, to comply with applicable requirements. For example, if any of our existing or future vehicles, products, manufacturing or assembly arrangements, or related operations fails to comply with applicable regulations or maintain the relevant permits, licenses or approvals, we could be subject to substantial liability for remediation efforts, personal injury claims, fines, penalties, production or sales delays, or be required to suspend sales, production or operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
An occurrence of natural disasters, widespread health epidemics or other outbreaks, or other disruptive events could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business could be materially and adversely affected by natural disasters, such as snowstorms, earthquakes, fires or floods, the outbreak of a widespread health epidemic or other events, such as wars, acts of terrorism, environmental accidents, power shortages or communication interruptions. The occurrence of such a disaster or prolonged outbreak of an epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments in the areas where we operate, including but not limited to the severe acute respiratory syndrome, the H5N1 avian flu, the human swine flu, also known as Influenza A (H1N1), or COVID-19, could materially disrupt our business and operations, including our supply chain, manufacturing and assembly arrangements, product development and testing activities, customer deployment plans and the operations of our business partners, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, local strategic partners and service providers.
In addition, natural disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, unusual weather conditions, power outages, other pandemic outbreaks, terrorist acts or disruptive global political events, or similar disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. In particular, rising inflation and geopolitical tensions, including the recent war or armed conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine or other regions, could have, an adverse impact on the global supply chain, including the availability and costs of certain raw materials, components and logistics services. If any of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers, contract manufacturers or other business partners is damaged or disrupted by these events, our operations may be significantly interrupted, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. These events could also result in server interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software, hardware, storage and network. The continuance of any of these events could increase the costs associated with our operations, delay our commercialization, reduce our ability to operate our businesses at its intended capacity or otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting after the completion of the Business Combination, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence in us and the market price of PubCo ordinary shares may be adversely affected.
Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control and procedures over financial reporting. In the course of auditing our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. As defined in the standards established by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified relates to the lack of sufficient controls designed and implemented in IT environment and IT general control activities.
We intend to implement several measures to address the material weakness identified, including hiring experienced IT staff with qualifications to formalize and strengthen the key internal control over information technology general control. We may incur significant costs in the implementation of these measures. We cannot assure you that these measures will be sufficient to remediate our material weaknesses in time, or at all. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue implementing these measures in the future, or that we will not identify additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the future.
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with the second annual report on Form 20-F after becoming a public company. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our post-Business Combination management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation. While documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
34
In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Generally, if we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of PubCo ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from Nasdaq, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from prior periods.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which we conduct activities, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and anti-corruption laws and regulations in Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and other jurisdictions. For example, the FCPA and similar laws prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to a “foreign official” for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The FCPA also requires companies to make and keep books, records and accounts that accurately reflect transactions and dispositions of assets and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. A violation of these laws or regulations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
We have or may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies, regulatory authorities and state-owned or state-affiliated entities of different jurisdictions in the ordinary course of business. These interactions subject us to an increased level of compliance-related concerns. We intend to implement policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by us and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents and business partners with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws and regulations. However, our policies and procedures may not be sufficient, and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, and business partners could engage in improper conduct for which we may be held responsible.
Non-compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering or financial and economic sanctions laws could subject us to whistle-blower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, and severe administrative, civil and criminal sanctions, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. In addition, changes in economic sanctions laws in the future could adversely impact our business and investments in our shares.
35
We will incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, we expect to incur increased costs associated with corporate governance requirements that will become applicable to us as a public company, including rules and regulations of the SEC, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the Exchange Act, as well as the rules of Nasdaq. These rules and regulations are expected to significantly increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming, including due to increased training of our current employees, additional hiring of new employees, and increased assistance from consultants. We expect such expenses to further increase after we are no longer treated as an “emerging growth company”. We also expect these rules and regulations to make it more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs. In addition, our management team will need to devote substantial attention to interacting with public company analysts and investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies, which may divert attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, including operational, research and development and sales and marketing activities. Increases in costs incurred or diversion of management’s attention as a result of becoming a publicly traded company may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below the expectations of our investors and securities analysts, resulting in a decline in the trading price of PubCo’s ordinary shares.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as discussed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of PubCo’s ordinary shares.
Risks Related to SINGAUTO Doing Business in Singapore
References in this subsection to “we,” “our,” “us” or “our Company” refer to (1) SINGAUTO Inc, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and (2) PubCo, after the consummation of Business Combination, unless otherwise specified.
Our business may be affected by the economic, political, regulatory and global trade environment in Singapore.
A significant portion of our corporate and strategic operations are based in Singapore. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, and operations may be materially and adversely affected by economic, political, social, regulatory and global trade developments in Singapore. Although Singapore has historically enjoyed a stable political and economic environment, there is no certainty that this stability will continue. Any prolonged economic downturn, changes in the geopolitical landscape, or regional instability could reduce commercial activity and logistics demand, which could directly impact fleet modernization plans and the demand for our new energy commercial vehicles.
Because our business model may involve the importation of critical electric vehicle components, such as semiconductor chips, battery cells and specialized chassis parts, and the exportation of assembled vehicles or Semi Knocked-Down kits to regional markets, any escalation in trade barriers or macroeconomic instability could cause supply chain bottlenecks, increase our manufacturing costs, and dampen regional demand for our commercial logistics vehicles.
Changes in Singapore government policies, regulations, or subsidies related to commercial vehicles and new energy adoption could materially and adversely affect our business.
The commercial vehicle market in Singapore is highly regulated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and other government bodies. Further, the adoption of our electric commercial vehicles by fleet operators in Singapore is heavily influenced by government policies, such as the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) quota system, the Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme (CVES), and other schemes. If the Singapore government were to reduce, phase out, or eliminate financial incentives, grants, or tax rebates for the adoption of commercial electric vehicles, or if COE premiums for commercial vehicles remain prohibitively high, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) advantage of our vehicles could diminish. This could lead to a decrease in demand for our products, which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
36
We operate in a highly regulated environment regarding vehicle safety, homologation, and environmental standards in Singapore.
Before our commercial vehicles can be deployed on Singapore roads, they must undergo homologation and type-approval processes mandated by the LTA to ensure compliance with vehicle safety and environmental standards. Any delay in obtaining these regulatory approvals for our new vehicle models, or any future changes in technical standards—such as specific crash-test requirements, battery-safety parameters or charging-port standards—could delay our commercialization timelines or increase our costs. If our vehicles are found to be non-compliant with applicable or updated safety, technical or environmental requirements, we could be subject to vehicle recalls, penalties or other corrective actions, which could result in substantial costs and damage our brand and reputation.
We are subject to stringent requirements pursuant to Singapore’s data protection and data security laws and regulations, and any contravention of these requirements could result in severe penalties and reputational damage.
Through our smart fleet telematics, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, and temperature tracking systems, we collect, process, and store operational and location data, which may include or constitute personal data. Consequently, our operations in Singapore are subject to stringent requirements relating to the protection of personal data, including without limitation those requirements set out under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and security of personal data. For instance, if we fail to implement reasonable security arrangements to prevent, in relation to the personal data, unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal, or similar risks, or the loss of any storage medium or device on which personal data is stored, then we could be subject to enforcement actions by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). Such enforcement actions may result in, inter alia, financial penalties of up to 10% of our annual turnover in Singapore (if our annual turnover exceeds S$10 million) or S$1 million (in any other case). Other potential consequences include without limitation loss of customer trust, which would adversely impact our business operations.
We are subject to strict labor and employment laws and regulations in Singapore, and changes to such laws and regulations or increases in operating costs could restrict our operations and increase our costs.
Our operations in Singapore rely on a mix of local and foreign talent, particularly in software engineering, R&D, and fleet telematics. We are subject to labor regulations enforced by the Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM), including those relating to the employment of foreign workers. For instance, MOM regulates the ratio of foreign workers to local workers, including through the Dependency Ratio Ceiling, and sets minimum qualifying salaries for work passes granted to foreigners, including Employment Passes and S-Passes. Any tightening of such labor policies, increases in foreign worker levies, or increases in mandatory employer contribution rates to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) for local employees could significantly increase our operating expenses and limit our ability to hire the technical talent necessary to support our business operations.
In addition, Singapore’s highly developed economy is characterized by a high cost of living and a tightly constrained, highly competitive labor market. To attract, integrate, and retain qualified personnel—particularly specialized technical, engineering, and managerial talent—we must offer highly competitive compensation and benefits packages. Furthermore, Singapore’s premium real estate market exposes us to elevated and fluctuating lease rates for corporate offices and operational facilities. If we experience sustained inflationary pressures on wages and commercial rental rates, and are unable to offset these escalating expenses through increased revenues or operational efficiencies, our operating margins, business prospects, and overall financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
While our corporate operations are anchored in Singapore and a portion of our expenses are denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD), we expect to generate significant revenues and incur manufacturing and supply chain costs in other currencies, such as the U.S. Dollar (USD), Chinese Renminbi (RMB) and other currencies. Singapore does not have a formal regime of foreign exchange controls; however, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) manages the SGD against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. Any significant volatility in the SGD against our functional or reporting currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and reported results of operations.
37
We are subject to evolving environmental and waste management laws in Singapore which may increase our compliance costs.
As a provider of new energy commercial vehicles, our operations may involve the distribution, maintenance, and eventual decommissioning of high-voltage battery systems. Under Singapore’s Resource Sustainability Act 2019 and related environmental frameworks overseen by the National Environment Agency (NEA) such as the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) System, the government has been progressively tightening regulations around electronic waste (e-waste). As the adoption of our NEVs grows, we may be subject to stricter statutory obligations and higher levies regarding the collection, safe handling, and recycling of end-of-life EV batteries. If we fail to comply with these waste management and environmental regulations, we could be subject to substantial statutory fines, operational suspensions, and severe reputational harm. At the same time, the costs associated with compliant battery disposal could compress our profit margins.
Risks Related to BPAC’s Business
If BPAC is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, BPAC would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted and, as a result, BPAC would likely abandon its efforts to consummate an initial business combination and would seek to liquidate and dissolve instead.
There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the regulations thereunder, to a special purpose acquisition company and we may in the future be subject to a claim that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.
The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate.
If BPAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, BPAC’s activities would be severely restricted and BPAC would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements.
If BPAC is deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, BPAC would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which it has not allotted funds and for which it may not have sufficient time to comply with prior to the expiration of its time to complete a business combination. As a result, if BPAC were deemed to be an investment company, BPAC would likely abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and would seek to liquidate and dissolve instead. If BPAC is required to liquidate and dissolve, its investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in the post-business combination company, including the potential appreciation in the value of BPAC’s shares and rights following such a transaction. BPAC’s rights would also expire worthless in that case.
To mitigate the risk that BPAC might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, BPAC may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or its liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, BPAC would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount the public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of BPAC.
The funds in the Trust Account have, since the initial public offering of BPAC, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of BPAC being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, BPAC may, at any time, instruct Wilmington Trust, National Association, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination or liquidation of BPAC. Following such liquidation, BPAC would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to BPAC to pay its taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash could reduce the dollar amount the public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of BPAC.
38
BPAC’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about BPAC’s ability to continue as a “going concern.”
As of June 30, 2026, BPAC had $29,180 cash on hand and working capital deficit of $378,889. BPAC has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its initial business combination. BPAC cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about BPAC’s ability to continue as a going concern. BPAC’s financial statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should BPAC be unable to continue as a going concern.
Additional risk factors not presently known to BPAC or that it currently deems immaterial may also impair BPAC’s business or results of operations. BPAC may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in BPAC’s future filings with the SEC.
BPAC will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account if it cannot consummate the Business Combination or an initial business combination by February 13, 2027, unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under its Existing Charter. In the event of a liquidation, BPAC’s public shareholders are expected to receive approximately $10.[●] per ordinary share and the BPAC Rights will expire worthless.
If BPAC does not complete the Business Combination or a business combination by February 13, 2027, unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under its Existing Charter, it will be forced to liquidate and the per share liquidation distribution is expected to be approximately $10.[●]. BPAC Rights will expire worthless as a result of BPAC’s failure to consummate the Business Combination or an initial business combination during the Combination Period.
There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.
We can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the consummation of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination.
Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in the share price of the Combined Company and may result in a lower value realized upon redemption than a shareholder of BPAC might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its public shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its public shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its ordinary shares of the Combined in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price paid in connection with the redemption of the public shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.
If the conditions to the Merger Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.
Even if the Merger Agreement is approved by SINGAUTO and SINGAUTO’s shareholders, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Merger Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, see the section titled “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to the Closing.” BPAC and SINGAUTO may not satisfy all closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such delay may cause BPAC and SINGAUTO to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.
BPAC may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.
Our initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements by governmental entities or ultimately prohibited. For example, an initial business combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If BPAC’s potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, BPAC may determine that it is required to make a mandatory filing or that it will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay BPAC’s initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order BPAC to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of, or prevent BPAC from pursuing, certain initial business combination opportunities that BPAC believes would otherwise be beneficial to BPAC and its shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which BPAC could complete an initial business combination may be limited and BPAC may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. SINGAUTO is a Cayman Islands company, and Mr. Yuqiang Liu, its chairman and chief executive officer, is a non-U.S. person.
39
Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and BPAC has limited time to complete its initial business combination. If BPAC cannot complete its initial business combination by February 13, 2027, unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter, because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because its initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, BPAC may be required to liquidate. If BPAC liquidates, public shareholders may only receive $10.[●] per share, and its rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
If third parties bring claims against BPAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by BPAC’s shareholders may be less than $10.[●].
BPAC’s placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against BPAC. Although BPAC has received from many of the vendors, service providers (other than its independent accountants) and prospective target businesses with which it does business executed agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of BPAC’s public shareholders, they may still seek recourse against the Trust Account. Additionally, a court may not uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of BPAC’s public shareholders. If BPAC liquidates the Trust Account before the completion of a business combination and distributes the proceeds held therein to its public shareholders, the Sponsor has contractually agreed that it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, BPAC cannot assure you that they will be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account for BPAC’s shareholders may be less than $10.[●] due to such claims.
Additionally, if BPAC is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in BPAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, BPAC may not be able to return $10.[●] to its public shareholders.
Any distributions received by BPAC shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, the value of BPAC’s assets did not exceed its liability or BPAC was unable to pay its debts as and when they fell due.
BPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that it will continue in existence only until the date that is 15 months from the closing of the IPO. If BPAC is unable to consummate a transaction within the required time periods, upon notice from BPAC, the trustee of the Trust Account will distribute the amount in its Trust Account to its public shareholders. Concurrently, BPAC shall pay, or reserve for payment, from funds not held in trust, its liabilities and obligations, although BPAC cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.
40
We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $[●] million of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. BPAC will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account to pay any tax obligations it may owe or for working capital purposes. However, BPAC may not properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, BPAC’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and third parties may seek to recover from BPAC’s shareholders amounts owed to them by BPAC.
If, after BPAC has distributed the proceeds in the Trust Account to its public shareholders, BPAC files a bankruptcy petition or an insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against BPAC that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by BPAC’s shareholders. In addition, BPAC’s Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to its creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and BPAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
The announcement of the Business Combination could disrupt the Combined Company’s relationships with its customers, members, providers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.
Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on the Combined Company’s business include the following:
| ● | its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect the Combined Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees; |
| ● | customers, business partners and other parties with which the Combined Company maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships; |
| ● | third parties may seek to alter their business relationships with the Combined Company or fail to extend an existing relationship with the Combined Company; and |
| ● | the Combined Company has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination. |
If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact the Combined Company’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.
Shareholder litigation and regulatory inquiries and investigations are expensive and could harm BPAC’s business, financial condition and operating results and could divert management attention.
In the past, securities class action litigation and/or shareholder derivative litigation and inquiries or investigations by regulatory authorities have often followed certain significant business transactions, such as the sale of a company or announcement of any other strategic transaction, such as the Business Combination. Any shareholder litigation and/or regulatory investigations against BPAC, whether or not resolved in BPAC’s favor, could result in substantial costs and divert BPAC’s management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect BPAC’s business and cash resources and the ultimate value BPAC’s shareholders receive as a result of the Business Combination.
The Initial Shareholders who own shares of BPAC Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Units will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate.
As of the Record Date, the Initial Shareholders owned an aggregate of 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares and 197,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares underlying Private Placement Units. They have waived their right to redeem these shares, or to receive distributions with respect to these shares upon the liquidation of the Trust Account if BPAC is unable to consummate a business combination. Based on a market price of $10.[●] per share of Class A ordinary shares and $10.[●] per Unit on [●], 2026, the value of these shares was approximately $[●] million. The BPAC Class B ordinary shares acquired prior to the IPO will be worthless if BPAC does not consummate a business combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting SINGAUTO as a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of the Business Combination are appropriate and in BPAC’s public shareholders’ best interest.
41
BPAC’s shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with a proposed business combination must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.
BPAC’s shareholders who wish to redeem their Class A ordinary shares must either tender their certificates to VStock or deliver their shares to VStock electronically using the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System at least two business days before the Meeting. In order to obtain a physical certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and VStock will need to act to facilitate this request. It is BPAC’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from VStock. However, because BPAC does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. While BPAC has been advised that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, BPAC cannot assure you of this fact. Accordingly, if it takes longer than BPAC anticipates for shareholders to deliver their BPAC Class A ordinary shares, shareholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their BPAC Class A ordinary shares.
If BPAC’s shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination have tendered their shares for redemption to comply with specific requirements for redemption described above, such redeeming shareholders may be unable to sell their public shares when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not consummated.
If BPAC’s shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with the proposed Business Combination have tendered their shares for redemption to comply with specific requirements for redemption as described above and the Business Combination is not consummated, BPAC will promptly return such certificates to its public shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their public shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until BPAC has returned their securities to them. The market price for shares of our BPAC Class A ordinary shares may decline during this time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.
If BPAC’s due diligence investigation of SINGAUTO was inadequate, then BPAC shareholders following the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.
Even though BPAC conducted a due diligence investigation of SINGAUTO, it cannot be sure that this diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present in SINGAUTO or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of SINGAUTO and its business and outside of its control will not later arise. Even if BPAC’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with SINGAUTO’s preliminary risk analysis.
BPAC does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold in its Existing Charter. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to consummate the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree.
BPAC’s Existing Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that the Existing Charter provides that we will only consummate an initial business combination if our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of such business combination. As a result, we may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, have entered into privately-negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all public shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.
42
Nasdaq may not continue to list PubCo’s securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in its securities and subject it to additional trading restrictions.
BPAC’s ordinary shares, units, and rights are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and BPAC expects the PubCo ordinary shares to be listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of public shares that are redeemed. There can be no assurance that the Combined Company will be able to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq following the Business Combination. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the Combined Company’s ordinary shares for failure to meet the listing standards, the Combined Company’s shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
| ● | a limited availability of market quotations for the Combined Company’s securities; |
| ● | reduced liquidity for the Combined Company’s securities; |
| ● | a determination that the Combined Company’s ordinary shares is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in such securities to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Combined Company’s securities; |
| ● | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and |
| ● | a decreased ability of the Combined Company to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
BPAC’s Sponsor controls a substantial interest in BPAC and thus may influence certain actions requiring a shareholder vote.
As of the Record Date, BPAC’s Sponsor owns approximately 22.1% of its issued and outstanding shares of BPAC ordinary shares. However, if a significant number of BPAC shareholders vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination, BPAC’s Initial Shareholders or the affiliates, could make such purchases in the open market or in private transactions in order to influence the vote. BPAC’s Sponsor and Initial Shareholders or the affiliates have agreed to vote any shares they own in favor of the Business Combination.
Risks Related to the Business Combination
BPAC and SINGAUTO have incurred and expect to incur significant costs associated with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by the combined company if the Business Combination is completed or by BPAC if the Business Combination is not completed.
BPAC and SINGAUTO expect to incur significant costs associated with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, BPAC expects to incur approximately $[●] million in expenses. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by the combined company if the Business Combination is completed or by BPAC if the Business Combination is not completed. If the Business Combination is not consummated, BPAC may not have sufficient funds to seek an alternative business combination and may be forced to liquidate and dissolve.
In the event that a significant number of public shares are redeemed, PubCo ordinary shares may become less liquid following the Business Combination.
If a significant number of public shares are redeemed, PubCo may be left with a significantly smaller number of shareholders. As a result, trading in the shares of the Combined Company may be limited and your ability to sell your shares in the market could be adversely affected. PubCo has applied to list its shares on Nasdaq, and Nasdaq may not list its ordinary shares on the exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in PubCo’s securities and subject PubCo to additional trading restrictions.
BPAC may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination without resoliciting shareholder approval for the Business Combination.
BPAC may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. The BPAC Board will evaluate the materiality of any waiver to determine whether amendment of this proxy statement/prospectus and resolicitation of proxies is warranted. In some instances, if the BPAC Board determines that a waiver is not sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of shareholders, BPAC has the discretion to complete the Business Combination without seeking further shareholder approval. For example, it is a condition to BPAC’s obligations to close the Business Combination that there be no restraining order, injunction or other order restricting SINGAUTO’s conduct of its business, however, if the BPAC Board determines that any such order or injunction is not material to the business of SINGAUTO, then the BPAC Board may elect to waive that condition without shareholder approval and close the Business Combination.
43
BPAC’s shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of PubCo ordinary shares as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that BPAC’s current shareholders have on the management of PubCo.
It is anticipated that upon completion of the Business Combination, BPAC’s public shareholders would own approximately 5.2% of the Combined Company. BPAC’s Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares and private placement shares will retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.3% of the Combined Company and the SINGAUTO shareholders will own approximately 93.5% of the Combined Company. The ownership percentages above with respect to the Combined Company does not take into account (i) the redemption of any shares by the BPAC public shareholders, or (ii) the issuance of any additional shares upon the closing of the Business Combination under the Equity Incentive Plan. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the last shareholders will be different. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the BPAC Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit additional votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be completed.
The BPAC Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Meeting, BPAC is unable to consummate the Business Combination due to insufficient number of votes for the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, or the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the BPAC Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in order to solicit additional votes and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be completed.
BPAC’s officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary and/or contractual obligations and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
BPAC’s officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary and/or contractual obligations to other companies, including other companies that are engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Accordingly, they may participate in transactions and have obligations that may be in conflict or competition with BPAC’s consummation of its initial business combination. As a result, a potential target business may be presented by BPAC’s management team to another entity prior to its presentation to BPAC and BPAC may not be afforded the opportunity to engage in a transaction with such target business.
Since BPAC’s Sponsor and officers and directors have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of BPAC shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as BPAC’s initial business combination. Such interests, including the fact that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in BPAC if a business combination is not completed with the Combination Period. Accordingly, BPAC’s Sponsor, and officers and directors may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even on terms less favorable to the BPAC shareholders than liquidating BPAC.
When you consider the recommendation of the BPAC Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that insiders, including our Sponsor, and BPAC’s officers and directors have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of the BPAC shareholders generally. The BPAC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to BPAC shareholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. BPAC shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:
| ● | Since BPAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors directly or indirectly own BPAC ordinary shares and BPAC Rights, BPAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
44
| ● | BPAC’s Sponsor intends to transfer 25,000 of its founder shares to our Chief Financial Officer at the consummation of an initial business combination. Based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●], Mr. Kulwant Sandher, our Chief Financial Officer, will receive $[●] at Closing. If BPAC does not complete its initial business combination, Mr. Sandher will not receive such compensation and all founder shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will become worthless. Accordingly, there may exist a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate BPAC’s initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) independent director to serve on PubCo’s five-person board of directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such service. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information. |
| ● | If an initial business combination is not completed within the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to liquidate. In such event: |
| ● | 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to BPAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.017 per share, or $25,000 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the founder shares, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since BPAC’s Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and its officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the BPAC Class B ordinary shares if its initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for BPAC’s initial business combination. |
| ● | 197,250 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor for $1,972,500 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. At the consummation of the Business Combination, such Private Placement Units would have an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of $10.[●] per Unit on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since BPAC’s Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and its officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Private Placement Units if BPAC’s initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for BPAC’s initial business combination. |
| ● | BPAC’s Sponsor, its affiliates and its directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. BPAC’s sponsor and its affiliates, and its directors and officers will retain 1,667,625 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, representing ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the combined company, assuming maximum redemption by public shareholders. Such ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●], based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. |
| ● | The Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other BPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the combined company following the Business Combination. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BPAC’s public shareholders who purchased shares in BPAC’s initial public offering, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BPAC’s Sponsor would have a gain of approximately $4.98 per share because it acquired the founder shares for a nominal amount. |
| ● | The Sponsor may make loans from time to time to BPAC to fund certain capital requirements. If Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. If BPAC does not complete the Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital 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. Since BPAC will not repay such loans if BPAC does not complete a business combination, a conflict of interest may arise. As of June 30, 2026, no such working capital loans were outstanding. |
45
| ● | If BPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor may be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for BPAC. If BPAC consummates an initial business combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims. |
| ● | The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on BPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. Unless BPAC’s consummates its initial business combination, its officers, directors and insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited inthe trust account. If the proposed Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, BPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working capital if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed within Combination Period. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates do not have any unpaid reimbursable expenses. |
| ● | The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of BPAC’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination covering BPAC’s current directors and officers. |
| ● | The exercise of BPAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interests. |
| ● | None of BPAC’s officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of BPAC’s initial business combination. Each of BPAC’s officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. |
| ● | BPAC’s officers and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
| ● | In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to BPAC as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. BPAC’s management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. |
The fact that the Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their BPAC ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. See the section entitled, “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a discussion for a discussion of these considerations.
The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting SINGAUTO as a business combination target and completing the Business Combination with SINGAUTO. In considering the recommendations of the BPAC Board to vote for the Proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests. The existence of the interests described above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of BPAC’s officers and directors in entering into the Merger Agreement and making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize BPAC’s officers and directors to complete the Business Combination, even if on terms less favorable to BPAC’s shareholders compared to liquidating BPAC, because, among other things, if BPAC is liquidated without completing the Business Combination, the founder shares would be worthless.
46
Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on BPAC’s search for an initial business combination target or the performance or business prospects of a post-business combination company.
There have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect BPAC’s search for a target and/or its ability to complete its initial business combination.
Recently, the U.S. has implemented a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed, are considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs and BPAC cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future.
Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses’ reliance on imported goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses’ reliance on sales into the United States). In addition, retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the United States, and domestic businesses that rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes could negatively affect the attractiveness of certain initial business combination targets or lead to material adverse effects on a post-business combination company. Among other things, historical financial performance of companies affected by trade policies and/or tariffs may not provide useful guidance as to the future performance of such companies, because future financial performance of those companies may be materially affected by new U.S. tariffs or foreign retaliatory tariffs, or other changes to trade policies. The business prospects of a particular target for a business combination could change even after BPAC has entered into a business combination agreement as a result of tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that target’s business, and it may be costly or impractical for us to terminate that business combination agreement. These factors could affect BPAC’s selection of a business combination target.
BPAC may not be able to adequately address the risks presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes. As a result, BPAC may deem it costly, impractical or risky to complete an initial business combination with a particular target or with a target in a particular industry or from a particular country. Consequently, the pool of potential target companies may be reduced, which could impair BPAC’s ability to identify a suitable target and to complete an initial business combination. If BPAC completes an initial business combination with such a target, the post-business combination company’s operations and financial results could be adversely affected as a result of tariffs or changes to trade policies, which may cause the market value of the securities of the post-business combination company to decline.
When BPAC effects its Business Combination with a company located outside of the United States, it would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may adversely affect us.
Because SINGAUTO operates outside of the U.S., BPAC may face additional burdens in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing such Business Combination, and if BPAC consummates the Business Combination, it would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact its operations.
BPAC will be subject to risks associated with cross-border business combinations, including in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing its Business Combination, conducting due diligence in a foreign jurisdiction, having such transaction approved by any local governments, regulators or agencies and changes in the purchase price based on fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
If BPAC effects its Business Combination with SINGAUTO, BPAC would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in an international setting, including any of the following:
| ● | costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations; |
| ● | currency fluctuations and rules and regulations regarding exchange; |
| ● | laws governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected; |
47
| ● | exchange listing and/or delisting requirements; |
| ● | tariffs and trade barriers; |
| ● | local or regional economic policies and market conditions; |
| ● | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
| ● | rates of inflation; |
| ● | unpredictable legal or regulatory systems; |
| ● | protection of intellectual property; |
| ● | regime changes and political upheaval; |
| ● | terrorist attacks and wars; and |
| ● | deterioration of political relations with the U.S. |
BPAC may not be able to adequately address these additional risks. If BPAC were unable to do so, it may be unable to complete such Business Combination, or, if BPAC completes such Business Combination, its operations might suffer, either of which may adversely impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.
SINGAUTO’s operating and financial results forecast and certain estimates of market opportunity included in this proxy statement/prospectus rely in large upon assumptions and analyses. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, SINGAUTO’s actual operating and financial results may be materially different from its forecasted results.
The strategic goals, intentions, and market opportunity estimates appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect current expectations or estimates as of the date indicated. Whether actual business developments, market conditions, and operating results align with SINGAUTO’s expectations and assumptions depends on numerous factors, many of which involve significant uncertainties and contingencies that are inherently difficult to predict and beyond the control of SINGAUTO and BPAC, including, but not limited to:
| ● | the general addressable market for SINGAUTO’s products and services, as well as the modified antimicrobial fiber and textile product markets and other relevant market in general; |
| ● | success and timing of SINGAUTO’s business strategy; |
| ● | competition, including from established and future competitors; |
| ● | whether SINGAUTO can obtain sufficient capital to build its manufacturing facilities and sustain and grow its business; |
| ● | SINGAUTO’s ability to manage its growth; |
| ● | whether SINGAUTO can manage relationships with certain third-party service providers; |
| ● | SINGAUTO’s ability to retain existing key management, integrate recent hires and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and |
| ● | the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies. |
Any discussions regarding strategic goals, intentions or market opportunity estimates are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. Additionally, market opportunity estimates — whether derived from third-party sources or otherwise — are subject to considerable uncertainty and rely on assumptions and projections that may prove to be inaccurate. The estimated addressable market may take years to develop, if it materializes at all, and even if the market achieves the size and growth rates anticipated in this proxy statement/prospectus, SINGAUTO’s business may not grow at a comparable rate. Any adverse developments concerning the factors outlined above could materially and negatively impact the financial condition, business operations, and prospects of the Combined Company.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of SPAC’s securities may decline.
The market price of SPAC’s securities may decline as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination if:
| ● | SPAC does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or |
| ● | the effect of the Business Combination on the financial statements is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. |
Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of decreasing market price of SPAC securities.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of our results after the Business Combination.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have occurred had the transactions been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of SINGAUTO’s future operating results or financial position after the assumed consummation of the transactions. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements present the combination of SINGAUTO’s financial information and the financial information of BPAC after giving effect to the Business Combination and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not reflect future events that may occur, including any future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination, and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenue or expense. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based in part on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate over time.
BPAC shareholders who are not affiliates with the Sponsor may be exposed to greater risk as a result of becoming shareholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of PubCo directly in an underwritten public offering as a result of the differences between the two transaction structures, including that the Business Combination did not involve an independent due diligence review by an underwriter and that the Sponsor has conflicts of interest in connection with the Business Combination.
Because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of Combined Company’s ordinary shares in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of an outside independent review of the respective finances and operations of BPAC and SINGAUTO and their subsidiaries. Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering. As no such review will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, BPAC shareholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering.
In addition, if SINGAUTO became a public company through an underwritten public offering, the underwriters would be subject to liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act for material misstatements and omissions in the initial public offering registration statement. In general, an underwriter is able to avoid liability under Section 11 if it can prove that, it “had, after reasonable investigation, reasonable ground to believe and did believe, at the time the registration statement became effective, that the statements therein (other than the audited financial statements) were true and that there was no omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.” The completion of the Business Combination will not involve an underwriter subject to liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act.
In addition, the amount of due diligence conducted by BPAC and its advisors in connection with the Business Combination may not be as thorough as would have been undertaken by an underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of SINGAUTO. Accordingly, it is possible that defects in SINGAUTO’s business or problems with SINGAUTO’s management that would have been discovered if SINGAUTO conducted an underwritten public offering will not be discovered in connection with the Business Combination, which could adversely affect the market price of the PubCo ordinary shares.
49
Unlike an underwritten initial public offering, the initial trading of PubCo ordinary shares will not benefit from the book-building process undertaken by underwriters that helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed shares and underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of PubCo ordinary shares on Nasdaq could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for PubCo ordinary shares during the period immediately following the listing.
Furthermore, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of BPAC shareholders generally. Such interests may have influenced BPAC’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” In addition, the value of the founder shares may be significantly greater than the amount the Sponsor paid to purchase such shares in the event the Business Combination is completed, even if the Business Combination causes the trading price of PubCo ordinary shares to materially decline from its trading price immediately before Closing.
Neither BPAC nor the BPAC shareholders will have the protection of any indemnification, escrow, price adjustment or other provisions that allow for a post-closing adjustment to be made to the total merger consideration in the event that any of the representations and warranties made by SINGAUTO in the Merger Agreement ultimately proves to be inaccurate or incorrect.
Most of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement will not survive the completion of the Business Combination. As a result, BPAC and its shareholders may not have the protection of any indemnification, escrow, purchase price adjustment or other provisions that allow for a post-closing adjustment to be made to the merger consideration if a certain representation or warranty made by SINGAUTO in the Merger Agreement proves to be inaccurate or incorrect. Accordingly, to the extent such representations or warranties are incorrect, BPAC’s financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Activities that may be taken by BPAC’s affiliates to purchase, directly or indirectly, public shares will increase the likelihood of approval of the Proposals and may affect the market price of BPAC’s securities.
At any time at or prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding BPAC or its securities, the Sponsor, SINGAUTO and/or certain BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against one or more of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of BPAC ordinary shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.
If the Sponsor and/or BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, then such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The Sponsor and/or BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may also purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who indicate an intention to redeem BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or, if the price per share of BPAC Class A ordinary shares falls below $10.00 per share, then such parties may seek to enforce their redemption rights.
The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (i) increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented at the Meeting receive the requisite votes needed for approval and (ii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem. The Sponsor and/or BPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may also purchase shares from institutional and other investors for investment purposes.
Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the BPAC Class A ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a lower-than-market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she, or it owns, either at or before the Business Combination.
If such transactions are executed, then the Business Combination could be completed in circumstances where such consummation would not have otherwise occurred. Share purchases by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over approving the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or shareholder. If such arrangements or agreements are entered into, BPAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Meeting to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons. Any such report will include (i) the amount of ordinary shares purchased and the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination transaction will be approved; (iv) the identities or characteristics of security holders who sold shares if not purchased in the open market or the nature of the sellers; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which BPAC has received redemption requests. Further, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:
| ● | the proxy statement/prospectus filed for the Business Combination would disclose the possibility that the Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares or rights from BPAC public shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases; | |
| ● | if the Sponsor or the directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares or rights from BPAC public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process; | |
| ● | the proxy statement/prospectus filed for the Business Combination would include a representation that any of the securities purchased by the Sponsor or the directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and | |
| ● | the Sponsor or the directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to the securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights. |
In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of ordinary shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of BPAC securities on a national securities exchange.

Risks Related to PubCo’s Securities Following the Business Combination and PubCo Operating as a Public Company
Currently, there is no public market for the PubCo ordinary shares. BPAC shareholders cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for or of the PubCo ordinary shares they will receive or that PubCo will successfully obtain authorization for listing on the Nasdaq.
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each ordinary share of BPAC will be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share of PubCo. PubCo is a newly formed entity and prior to this transaction it has not issued any securities in the U.S. markets or elsewhere nor has there been extensive information about it, its businesses, or its operations publicly available. BPAC, SINGAUTO, and PubCo have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the PubCo ordinary shares to be issued in the Business Combination to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination. However, the listing of shares on the Nasdaq does not ensure that a market for the PubCo ordinary shares will develop or the price at which the shares will trade. No assurance can be provided as to the demand for or trading price of the PubCo ordinary shares following the closing of the Business Combination and the PubCo ordinary shares may trade at a price less than the current market price of BPAC Class A ordinary shares.
Even if PubCo is successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their ordinary shares. If a public market for the PubCo ordinary shares does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell their ordinary shares, rendering their shares illiquid and possibly resulting in a complete loss of their investment. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in PubCo will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. The trading price of and demand for the PubCo ordinary shares following completion of the Business Combination and the development and continued existence of a market and favorable price for the PubCo ordinary shares will depend on a number of conditions, including the development of a market following, including by analysts and other investment professionals, the businesses, operations, results, and prospects of PubCo, general market and economic conditions, governmental actions, regulatory considerations, legal proceedings, and developments or other factors. These and other factors may impair the development of a liquid market and the ability of investors to sell shares at an attractive price. These factors also could cause the market price and demand for the PubCo ordinary shares to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise affect negatively the price and liquidity of the PubCo ordinary shares. Many of these factors and conditions are beyond our control, the control of PubCo or PubCo shareholders.
Certain judgments obtained against PubCo by PubCo’s shareholders may not be enforceable.
PubCo is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. SINGAUTO is headquartered in Singapore and conducts its business primarily through its Singapore and UAE subsidiaries, and all of its operations are outside of the United States. A significant amount of SINGAUTO’s assets are located in Singapore, and substantially all of SINGAUTO’s assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, after the Business Combination, some of PubCo’s senior executive officers reside within Singapore for a significant portion of the time and a number of them are Singapore nationals. In addition, the majority of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against PubCo or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of Singapore may render you unable to enforce a judgment against PubCo’s assets or the assets of SINGAUTO’s directors and officers. Please see our disclosures below for further information on the enforcement of foreign judgments in Singapore.
PubCo’s share price may be volatile and could decline substantially.
The market price of PubCo’s ordinary shares may be volatile. The factors that could cause fluctuations and volatility in PubCo’s share price may include, among other factors discussed in this section, the following:
| ● | general volatility in the stock market; |
51
| ● | actual, perceived or anticipated variations or changes in the financial results and prospects of the company or other companies in the same industry; |
| ● | changes in financial estimates by research analysts; |
| ● | changes in the market valuations of other similar companies or companies in the same industry; |
| ● | announcements by PubCo or its competitors of new products and services, expansions, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures; |
| ● | mergers or other business combinations involving PubCo; |
| ● | additions and departures of key personnel and senior management; |
| ● | changes in accounting principles; |
| ● | the passage of legislation or other developments affecting PubCo or its industry; |
| ● | the trading volume of PubCo’s ordinary shares in the public market; |
| ● | the release of lockup, escrow, or other transfer restrictions on PubCo’s outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; |
| ● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations; |
| ● | changes in economic conditions, including fluctuations in global, Asian Pacific and/or Singaporean economies; |
| ● | financial market conditions; |
| ● | natural disasters, terrorist acts, acts of war, or periods of civil unrest; and |
| ● | the realization of some or all of the risks described in this section. |
In addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations from time to time, and the market prices of the equity securities have been volatile and are sometimes subject to sharp price and trading volume changes. These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of PubCo’s ordinary shares.
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of ordinary shares could adversely affect their market price.
Sales of substantial amounts of the ordinary shares in the public market after the completion of the Business Combination, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the ordinary shares and could materially impair PubCo’s ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The ordinary shares listed after the Business Combination will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
In connection with the IPO, BPAC’s initial shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the initial shares (except to certain permitted transferees), respectively, until the earlier of (1) 180 days after the completion of BPAC’s initial business combination; or (2) the date following the consummation of BPAC’s initial business combination on which BPAC completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-Up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial shares will be released from the Lock-Up if (1) the reported closing price of BPAC’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after BPAC’s initial business combination or (2) BPAC completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after its initial business combination that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. Additionally, BPAC’s insiders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of private placement units (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private units) until at least 30 days after the completion of BPAC’s initial business combination (except with respect to permitted transferees). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions. However, if after BPAC’s initial business combination, there is a transaction whereby all the outstanding shares are exchanged or redeemed for cash (as would be the case in a post-asset sale liquidation) or another issuer’s shares, then the initial shares or the private placement units (or any ordinary shares thereunder) shall be permitted to participate.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and certain significant shareholders (≥5% holders) have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to which shares held by the Sponsor and certain significant shareholders (≥5% holders) will be subject to transfer restrictions on their PubCo ordinary shares, generally lasting 180 days following the closing of the Business Combination, subject to early release upon certain specified stock price thresholds or certain change-of-control events.
52
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about PubCo or its business, its ordinary shares price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for Combined Company’s ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Combined Company or its business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Combined Company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the Combined Company, the trading price for its ordinary shares would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover the Combined Company downgrade its securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, its share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Combined Company or fail to publish reports on the Combined Company, demand for its ordinary shares could decrease, which might cause its ordinary share price and trading volume to decline.
PubCo’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination contains anti-takeover provisions that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of the PubCo ordinary shares.
In connection with the Business Combination, PubCo will adopt an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo’s post-closing memorandum and articles of association will contain provisions to limit the ability of others to acquire control of PubCo or cause PubCo to engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving PubCo shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third-parties from seeking to obtain control of PubCo in a tender offer or similar transaction. For example, PubCo’s board of directors will have the authority, subject to any resolution of the shareholders to the contrary, to issue new classes of shares such as preference shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with PubCo’s ordinary shares. New classes of shares carrying such special rights could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of PubCo or make removal of management more difficult. If PubCo’s board of directors decides to issue new classes of shares carrying such special rights, the price of the PubCo ordinary shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of the PubCo ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.
Your ownership percentage in PubCo will be less than the ownership percentage you currently hold in BPAC.
Your ownership percentage in PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination will be less than your existing ownership percentage in BPAC as a result of dilution attributable to the relative equity values of the companies involved in the Business Combination. Immediately after the Business Combination, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders of 5,750,000 of BPAC’s outstanding ordinary shares, it is anticipated that (i) the current BPAC shareholders will hold as a group approximately 2.2% of the PubCo ordinary shares and (ii) the current shareholders of SINGAUTO will hold as a group approximately 97.8% of the outstanding capital stock of PubCo. As a result, you may have less influence over matters submitted to a vote of PubCo shareholders.
53
If PubCo ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer, it would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and it would incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer.
As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, although the executive officers and directors of PubCo will be required, pursuant to the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, to file Section 16(a) reports with the SEC to disclose their beneficial ownership of our securities. The principal shareholders of PubCo who are neither its officers nor directors, however, will remain exempt from Section 16(a) reporting requirements. In addition, it will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and it will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. If it ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, it would incur significant additional expenses that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
If PubCo cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, PubCo’s securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of its securities and your ability to sell them.
PubCo will seek to have its securities approved for listing on Nasdaq in connection with the Business Combination. PubCo cannot assure you that it will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. Even if PubCo’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, it cannot assure you that its securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
In addition, following the Business Combination, in order to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, PubCo will be required to comply with certain rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if PubCo initially meets the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, PubCo may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If PubCo is unable to satisfy Nasdaq criteria for maintaining its listing, its securities could be subject to delisting.
If Nasdaq does not list PubCo’s securities, or subsequently delists its securities from trading, PubCo could face significant material adverse consequences, including but not limited to:
| ● | a limited availability for market quotations for its securities; |
| ● | reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; |
| ● | a determination that its ordinary shares is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and |
| ● | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
54
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
PubCo is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. PubCo’s corporate affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against PubCo’s directors, actions by PubCo’s minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors to PubCo under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of PubCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standings to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands business companies like PubCo have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. PubCo’s directors have discretion under its articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of the Business Combination to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, its corporate records may be inspected by its shareholders but are not obliged to make them available to its shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
As a result of all of the above, PubCo’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by PubCo’s management, users of the board of directors, or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Singapore against PubCo or its management named in the proxy statement/prospectus based on foreign laws after the Business Combination. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within Singapore.
SINGAUTO is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. SINGAUTO is headquartered in Singapore and conducts its business primarily through its Singapore and UAE subsidiaries, and a significant amount of SINGAUTO’s assets are located in Singapore. In addition, some of SINGAUTO’s senior executive officers reside within Singapore for a significant portion of the time and a number of them are Singapore nationals. As a result, after the Business Combination, it may be difficult for PubCo’s shareholders to effect service of process upon PubCo or those persons inside Singapore. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against SINGAUTO and SINGAUTO’s officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the United States (“U.S.”) or has substantial assets located in the U.S.
There is also uncertainty as to whether the courts Singapore would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of the U.S. courts obtained against us, our subsidiaries, or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S. or (ii) entertain original actions brought in Singapore against us, our subsidiaries or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S.
A judgment of a court in the U.S. predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Singapore at common law by bringing an action in a Singapore court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder, and then seeking summary judgment on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is final and conclusive on the merits, for a fixed and definite sum of money, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not obtained by fraud or in breach of natural justice, nor contrary to Singapore public policy.
Singapore has no arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments with the U.S. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Singapore, in original actions or in actions for enforcement, of judgments of the U.S. courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the U.S. or the securities laws of any State or territory within the U.S. You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Singapore against our subsidiaries, or our management named in the prospectus, as judgments entered in the U.S. can be enforced in Singapore only at common law. See also “— Risks Related to PubCo’s Securities Following the Business Combination and PubCo Operating as a Public Company — You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law.”
55
Future changes to U.S. and non-U.S. tax laws could adversely affect PubCo.
The U.S. Congress and other government agencies in jurisdictions where PubCo and its affiliates will do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting,” including situations where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the countries in which PubCo and its affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect PubCo and its affiliates.
The Reincorporation Merger may be a taxable event for U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights.
Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities,” the Reincorporation Merger should qualify as a Reorganization and, if so treated, a U.S. Holder (as defined herein) generally would not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or the BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares or PubCo Rights, as applicable, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger. However, the rules under Section 368 of the Code are complex and there is limited guidance as to their application. Alternatively, if the Reincorporation Merger does not qualify as a Reorganization, then a U.S. Holder that exchanges its BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares or PubCo Rights, as applicable, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights exchanged therefor, as applicable. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger, see the section titled “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Reincorporation Merger.
In addition, U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under the PFIC regime. Please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” for a more detailed discussion with respect to BPAC’s potential PFIC status and certain tax implications thereof.
Further, because the Reincorporation Merger will occur immediately prior to the redemption of BPAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their BPAC Class A ordinary shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Reincorporation Merger and exercise of redemption rights.
BPAC may be or may have been a PFIC during the holding period of a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights.
A non-U.S. corporation generally will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The determination of whether BPAC will be treated as a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including the timing of the Business Combination and the amount of cash held by BPAC and its subsidiaries at the time of the Business Combination, among others.
If BPAC is a PFIC or has been a PFIC during the holding period of a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights, such U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Reincorporation Merger. There is no assurance that BPAC is not currently or has not been a PFIC during the holding period of a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights. If BPAC has been a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights (and a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares has not made certain elections with respect to its BPAC Class A ordinary shares), such U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights may recognize gain (but not loss) if the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, upon the exchange of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights, as applicable, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger.
See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” for a more detailed discussion with respect to BPAC’s potential PFIC status and certain tax implications thereof. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights.
The Acquisition Merger may fail to qualify as a tax-deferred Reorganization (Section 368(a)(2)(E)), or may trigger tax to SINGAUTO shareholders under Section 367(a) or the PFIC rules.
Although the parties intend that the Acquisition Merger qualify as a tax-deferred transaction under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, there is no guarantee that the IRS will not assert a contrary position. If the Acquisition Merger fails to qualify for nonrecognition, a U.S. Holder of SINGAUTO shares would recognize taxable capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo ordinary shares received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the surrendered SINGAUTO shares.
Furthermore, under Section 367(a) and applicable Treasury Regulations, any U.S. Holder who owns (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 5% or more of either the total voting power or value of PubCo ordinary shares immediately following the Business Combination must execute a valid five-year Gain Recognition Agreement (GRA) pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.367(a)-8 to avoid current taxable gain. In addition, if SINGAUTO has been classified as a PFIC at any point during a U.S. Holder's holding period, proposed regulations under Section 1291(f) could require gain recognition unless a timely qualified electing fund (QEF) election was made.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote
As of the Record Date, there were 5,947,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding. Only BPAC shareholders who hold BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Class B ordinary shares of record as of the close of business on [●], 2026, the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each holder of BPAC ordinary shares is entitled to one vote per share on each Proposal. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that shares held beneficially by you are voted in accordance with your instructions.
In connection with the IPO, we entered into certain Letter Agreements pursuant to which the Initial Shareholders agreed to vote any shares owned by them in favor of our initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026, a total of 197,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary share, or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares, are subject to the Letter Agreement pursuant to which holders have agreed to vote their ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination.
Quorum and Required Vote for Shareholder Proposals
A quorum of BPAC shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Meeting if not less than one-third of the votes of the BPAC ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote is present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Abstentions by virtual attendance and by proxy will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but broker non-votes will not.
57
Approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will each require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
The approval of the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal. If either the Reincorporation Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect (even if approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders at the Meeting of any adjournment or postponement thereof) and the Business Combination will not occur. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination will not take place. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal is also a condition to Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 3.
Voting Your Shares
Each BPAC ordinary shares that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each Proposal for the Meeting. Your proxy card shows the number of BPAC ordinary shares that you own.
There are two ways to ensure that your BPAC ordinary shares are voted at the Meeting:
| ● | You can vote your shares by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the pre-paid postage envelope provided. If you submit your proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted, as recommended by our board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” each of the Proposals. If you hold your Class A ordinary shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that the votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly represented and voted at the Meeting. |
| ● | You can participate in the Meeting virtually and vote during the Meeting even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy as described above. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way BPAC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares. |
IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER PROPOSAL AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL (AS WELL AS THE OTHER PROPOSALS).
Revoking Your Proxy
If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:
| ● | you may send another proxy card with a later date; |
| ● | if you are a record holder, you may notify our proxy solicitor, [PROXY SOLICITOR], in writing before the Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or |
| ● | you may participate in the Meeting virtually, revoke your proxy, and vote during the Meeting, as indicated above. |

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Meeting
This Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
Approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
58
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to our Existing Charter, a holder of public shares may demand that BPAC redeem such shares for cash in connection with a business combination and an amendment to BPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. You may not elect to redeem your shares prior to the completion of a business combination.
If you are a public shareholder and you seek to have your shares redeemed, you must submit your request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026 (at least two business days before the Meeting). The request must be signed by the applicable shareholder in order to validly request redemption. A shareholder is not required to submit a proxy card or vote in order to validly exercise redemption rights. The request must identify the holder of the shares to be redeemed and must be sent to VStock at the following address:
VStock Transfer, LLC
18
Lafayette Place
Woodmere, NY 11598
E-mail: action@vstocktransfer.com
You must tender the public shares for which you are electing redemption at least two business days before the Meeting by either:
| ● | Delivering certificates representing BPAC Class A ordinary shares to VStock, or |
| ● | Delivering BPAC Class A ordinary shares electronically through the DWAC system. |
Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by VStock at least two business days before the Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock at least two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting.
Public shareholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination and whether or not they are holders of Class A ordinary shares as of the Record Date. Any public shareholder who holds BPAC Class A ordinary shares on or before [●], 2026 (at least two business days before the Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest, less any taxes payable, at the consummation of the Business Combination.
In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to VStock or deliver your shares to VStock electronically using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, in each case, at least two business days before the Meeting.
If you wish to tender through the DWAC system, please contact your broker and request delivery of your shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and VStock will need to act together to facilitate this request. It is BPAC’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from VStock. BPAC does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their Class A ordinary shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
In the event that a shareholder tenders its Class A ordinary shares and decides prior to the consummation of the Business Combination that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. In the event that a shareholder tenders Class A ordinary shares and the Business Combination is not completed, these shares will not be redeemed for cash and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Business Combination will not be consummated. BPAC anticipates that a shareholder who tenders Class A ordinary shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination would receive payment of the redemption price for such Class A ordinary shares soon after the completion of the Business Combination.
If properly demanded by BPAC’s public shareholders, BPAC will redeem each BPAC Class A ordinary share into a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.
Appraisal Rights
Under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, holders of BPAC ordinary shares will have the right to dissent from the Reincorporation Merger. In order to exercise such rights, a holder of BPAC ordinary shares must give written notice of objection to the Reincorporation Merger to BPAC before the vote on the Reincorporation Merger is taken at the Meeting. The written objection must include a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for its shares if the Reincorporation Merger is authorised by the shareholders.
59
If the Reincorporation Merger is authorised, BPAC must, within 20 days after the date on which the Reincorporation Merger is authorised, give written notice of such authorisation to each shareholder who made a written objection, except those shareholders who voted in favor of the Reincorporation Merger. Within 20 days after receipt of that notice, the dissenting shareholder must give written notice to BPAC (or PubCo, if the Reincorporation Merger has by then become effective) of such shareholder’s decision to dissent, which notice must state: (a) the shareholder’s name and address; (b) the number and class of shares in respect of which the shareholder dissents; and (c) a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares.
From the date on which the notice of dissent is given, the dissenting shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares in question, other than the right to be paid the fair value of such shares and such other rights as are provided under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act.
Within seven days after the expiration of the period within which shareholders may give notice of dissent, or within seven days after the date on which the Reincorporation Merger becomes effective, whichever is later, BPAC or PubCo must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase the shares at a specified price that BPAC or PubCo determines to be their fair value. If BPAC or PubCo and a dissenting shareholder agree upon the price within 30 days after the date on which such offer is made, BPAC or PubCo must pay that amount upon surrender of the certificates representing the relevant shares.
If BPAC or PubCo and the dissenting shareholder fail to agree the fair value within such 30-day period, BPAC or PubCo must file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to determine the fair value of the shares. The Grand Court will determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by BPAC or PubCo upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares.
Holders of BPAC ordinary shares have dissenters’ rights only in respect of the Reincorporation Merger, and not in respect of the Acquisition Merger or the Business Combination generally. There are no appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to BPAC Rights.
Proxies and Proxy Solicitation Costs
BPAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the BPAC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. BPAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Any solicitation made and information provided in such a solicitation will be consistent with the written proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card. BPAC will bear the cost of solicitation. [PROXY SOLICITOR], a proxy solicitation firm that BPAC has engaged to assist it in soliciting proxies, will be paid its customary fee of approximately $[●] and be reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses.
BPAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. BPAC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE REINCORPORATION MERGER PROPOSAL
The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus of the Business Combination and the principal terms of the Merger Agreement, is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement. The full text of the Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Plan of Merger is attached hereto as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively, and is incorporated by reference herein.
Purpose of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal
The purpose of the Reincorporation Merger is to establish a Cayman Islands exempted company as the parent entity of SINGAUTO that would be a “foreign private issuer” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, the BPAC shareholders will no longer be BPAC shareholders and (other than the BPAC shareholders who exercise their redemption rights) will become shareholders of PubCo, a foreign private issuer.
As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, although the executive officers and directors of PubCo will be required, pursuant to the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, to file Section 16(a) reports with the SEC to disclose their beneficial ownership of our securities. The principal shareholders of PubCo who are neither its officers nor directors, however, will remain exempt from Section 16(a) reporting requirements. In addition, PubCo will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC and will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose.
Summary of the Reincorporation Merger
The Merger Agreement was entered into by and among BPAC, the Purchaser, Merger Sub, and SINGAUTO on May 1, 2026. Upon the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Plan of Merger by the BPAC shareholders, the Purchaser and BPAC will execute the Reincorporation Plan of Merger, which shall be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands with certain other documents on or prior to the Closing Date. At the closing of the Reincorporation Merger, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser. The separate corporate existence of BPAC will cease and the Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (“PubCo”). In connection with the Reincorporation Merger, at the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, (A) all outstanding BPAC Units will separate into their individual components of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights and will cease separate existence and trading, and (B) BPAC Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into BPAC Class A ordinary shares, and the current equity holdings of the BPAC shareholders shall be exchanged as follows
| (i) | Each BPAC Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (other than any redeemed shares and any Dissenting Shares (as defined herein)) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and will be converted automatically into one validly issued PubCo ordinary share, which, unless explicitly stated herein, shall be fully paid; and |
| (ii) | Each BPAC Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be converted into a PubCo Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share and will cease separate existence and trading; and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each PubCo Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be cancelled and automatically converted into one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share; provided, however, that each holder entitled to receive a fraction of a PubCo ordinary share shall receive, in lieu of such fractional share, one PubCo ordinary share rounding down to the nearest whole PubCo ordinary share. |
Vote Required for Approval
Along with the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal, approval of the Reincorporation Merger is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination will not take place. If either the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal is not approved, the Reincorporation Merger Proposal will have no effect (even if approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof) and the Business Combination will not occur. Approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is also a condition to Proposal No. 2 and Proposal No. 3.
The Reincorporation Merger Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only if the affirmative vote of a two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted “FOR” the Reincorporation Merger Proposal at the Meeting.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Initial Shareholders holding an aggregate of 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares (or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares), have agreed to vote their ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. As a result, only 826,833 Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will need to be present in person, by virtual attendance or by proxy to satisfy the quorum requirement for the Meeting. In addition, as the vote to approve the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of Class A ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, 6,306 Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal for it to be approved.
Board Recommendation
OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE REINCORPORATION MERGER UNDER PROPOSAL NO. 1.
61
PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL
We are asking our shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby. Our shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the subsection below titled “The Merger Agreement,” for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. We also urge our shareholders to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this Proposal. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A-1 to this proxy statement/prospectus.
General
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into the Merger Agreement by and among BPAC, the Purchaser, Merger Sub and SINGAUTO. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the BPAC shareholders, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity as a result of the Reincorporation Merger (“PubCo”); (ii) at least one business day after the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO continuing as the surviving company in the Business Combination and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo.
The board of directors of BPAC has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the BPAC shareholders.
The Merger Agreement
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A-1 to this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that BPAC, PubCo and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and SINGAUTO, on the other hand, have made to one another as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules exchanged by the parties to the Merger Agreement. Some of these schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. You should not rely on the representations and warranties described below as current characterizations of factual information about BPAC or SINGAUTO because they were made as of specific dates and may be intended merely as a risk allocation mechanism among BPAC, PubCo and Merger Sub and SINGAUTO and are modified by the disclosure schedules.
The Equity Incentive Plan
As part of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the Business Combination, BPAC and SINGAUTO have agreed that PubCo shall adopt the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of a number of PubCo ordinary shares equal to 10% of PubCo’s outstanding shares immediately after the Closing . Shares may be made available from shares held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of PubCo not reserved for any other purpose.
General Description of the Reincorporation Merger
Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with applicable laws, BPAC will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity.
At the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, (A) all outstanding Units of BPAC (each consisting of (i) one BPAC Class A ordinary share and (ii) one BPAC Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination) will separate into their individual components of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Rights and will cease separate existence and trading, and (B) BPAC Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into BPAC Class A ordinary shares, and the current equity holdings of the BPAC shareholders shall be exchanged as follows:
| ● | Each BPAC Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (other than any redeemed shares and any Dissenting Shares) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and will be converted automatically into one validly issued PubCo ordinary share, which, unless explicitly stated herein, shall be fully paid; and |
| ● | Each BPAC Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be converted into a PubCo Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share and will cease separate existence and trading; and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each PubCo Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will be cancelled and automatically converted into one-sixth (1/6) of one PubCo ordinary share; provided, however, that each holder entitled to receive a fraction of a PubCo ordinary share shall receive, in lieu of such fractional share, one PubCo ordinary share rounding down to the nearest whole PubCo ordinary share. |
Each issued and outstanding PubCo ordinary share immediately prior to effective time of the Reincorporation Merger will cease to be issued and will be automatically cancelled and retired and will cease to exist.
62
General Description of the Business Combination
Business Combination Consideration
At least one business day after the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into SINGAUTO, resulting in SINGAUTO being a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.
The aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of SINGAUTO is $1,200,000,000, consisting of 120,000,000 newly issued PubCo ordinary shares, valued at $10.00 per share. A number equal to 10% of PubCo’s outstanding shares immediately after the Closing will be reserved and authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. At the closing of the Business Combination, each SINGAUTO ordinary share then issued and outstanding shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive PubCo ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo board of directors will consist of five (5) directors, a majority of whom shall be independent directors under Nasdaq listing rules. Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) director to serve as an independent director of PubCo, and SINGAUTO shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, the remaining directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information.
After the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer” under the U.S. securities laws and the rules of Nasdaq. For more information about the foreign private issuer, see “Director and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination.”
After the Business Combination, assuming there are no redemptions of our shares, BPAC’s current public shareholders will own approximately 5.2% of the issued share capital of PubCo, BPAC’s Sponsor, current directors, officers and affiliates will own approximately 1.3% of the issued share capital of PubCo, and SINGAUTO shareholders will own approximately 93.5% of the issued share capital of PubCo.
Assuming the maximum redemption by holders of 5,750,000 BPAC’s outstanding ordinary shares, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming shareholders, BPAC’s current public shareholders will own approximately 0.8% of the issued share capital of PubCo, BPAC’s Sponsor, current directors, officers and affiliates will own approximately 1.4% of the issued share capital of PubCo, and SINGAUTO shareholders will own approximately 97.8% of the issued share capital of PubCo.
Assuming the Reincorporation Merger Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are approved, BPAC expects to close the Business Combination as soon as possible following the Meeting.
Representations and Warranties
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, which will not survive the Closing, expect as provided in the Merger Agreement. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Merger Agreement means a material adverse change or a material adverse effect upon on the assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), net worth, management, earnings, cash flows, business, operations or properties of the Company and the Business, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, subject to certain customary exceptions. Certain of the representations are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.
Conduct Prior to Closing; Covenants
Each of the Company and the Parent Parties has agreed to, and cause its subsidiaries to, operate its respective business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practices, and to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the prior written consent of certain other parties, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications.
The Merger Agreement also contains, among other things, covenants providing for:
| ● | each party not soliciting, initiating, encouraging or continuing discussions with any third party with respect to any transaction other than the transactions contemplated or permitted by the Merger Agreement; |
| ● | each party providing access to their books and records and providing information relating to their respective businesses to the other party, its legal counsel and representatives; |
63

Intellectual Property Cooperation Agreement and Deed of Waiver
SingAuto has historically conducted its R&D activities in collaboration with Beijing Xinshiya Technology Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Beijing. Certain patents and patent applications developed in connection with our business were historically registered, listed or recorded in the names of multiple parties as co-holders, co-owners or co-applicants, including SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore, SingAuto HK and Xinshiya Beijing. Xinshiya Beijing is a related party of SINGAUTO and is controlled by Mr. Yuqiang Liu, SINGAUTO’s CEO and chairman of the board. See “Information About SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” for more information regarding related-party transactions involving Xinshiya Beijing. To clarify the ownership and commercialization rights in these patents and patent applications, the relevant parties entered into a deed of waiver and relinquishment of IP rights and an intellectual property cooperation agreement in May 2026.
Under the deed of waiver dated and effective as of May 4, 2026, SingAuto HK acknowledged that its prior registration as a co-holder of certain intellectual property had been made for administrative or structural purposes, irrevocably and unconditionally waived and released all rights, title and interest in the relevant intellectual property worldwide, and agreed to cooperate in its removal from applicable IP registration records. The deed does not provide for a fixed term, renewal right or early termination right, although certain obligations, including confidentiality obligations, survive termination or expiry in accordance with the terms of the deed.
On May 15, 2026, SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore and Xinshiya Beijing entered into an intellectual property cooperation agreement, or IP Cooperation Agreement, to establish a unified framework for the licensing and commercialization of the licensed patents worldwide. The entry into the IP Cooperation Agreement satisfied the closing condition under the Merger Agreement requiring SINGAUTO to enter into the IP Cooperation Agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within ten business days following the date of the Merger Agreement. Under the IP Cooperation Agreement, SingAuto Cayman and Xinshiya Beijing are identified as IP holders and SingAuto Singapore is identified as the licensee, and SingAuto Singapore receives an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license under the licensed patents to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import licensed products, with full and final control over commercialization and exploitation of the licensed patents. The agreement also provides for a one-time lump sum consideration, the specific amount of which remains subject to the parties’ further determination, in lieu of ongoing royalties. On June 15, 2026, the parties entered into a supplementary agreement to the IP Cooperation Agreement, setting the consideration at $2.0.
The IP Cooperation Agreement became effective on May 15, 2026 and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, continues on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of a licensed patent in the relevant country, or, if no patent contained in the licensed patents is issued or the relevant patents or patent applications are abandoned, until one year after the last patent or patent application is abandoned. SingAuto Singapore, as licensee, may terminate the agreement without cause on at least 45 business days’ prior written notice to the IP holders, and may also terminate the agreement if any IP holder materially breaches the agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 business days after written notice. Either party may terminate the agreement immediately upon certain insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar events affecting SingAuto Singapore. The agreement does not contain an automatic renewal provision. Upon expiration of the last patent to expire under the licensed patents in any country with respect to any licensed product, provided SingAuto Singapore is not then in breach of the agreement, SingAuto Singapore will have a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up license to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import in that country products that were previously licensed products.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, PubCo will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of SINGAUTO expecting to have a majority control of the voting power of PubCo, SINGAUTO’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of PubCo, the relative size of SINGAUTO compared to PubCo, and SINGAUTO operations comprising the ongoing operations of PubCo. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of SINGAUTO issuing stock for the net assets of PubCo, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PubCo will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Regulatory Approvals
The Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for the filings and registration with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of the articles of merger, including the Reincorporation Plan of Merger and the payment of the applicable fees under the Cayman Islands Companies Act necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.
66
Management
Effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, the Combined Company’s Board of Directors will have at least five (5) directors, a majority of whom shall be independent directors under Nasdaq listing rules. Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) director to serve as an independent director of PubCo, and SINGAUTO shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, the remaining directors. Effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, all of the executive officers of BPAC immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination shall resign and the individuals serving as executive officers of the Combined Company immediately after the closing of the Business Combination will be the same individuals (in the same offices) as those of SINGAUTO immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information.
Background of the Business Combination
The terms of the Merger Agreement and related ancillary documents are the result of extensive negotiations between BPAC, the Company and their respective representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the proposed Business Combination and related transactions. It is not, and does not purport to be, a complete catalogue of every interaction between the applicable parties.
BPAC Background and Initial Public Offering
BPAC is a blank check company incorporated on January 13, 2025, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The terms of the Business Combination were the result of thorough arm’s-length negotiations among the directors, management, and representative teams of BPAC, the Sponsor, and the Company, respectively. The following is a brief description of these discussions and negotiations, the Business Combination, and related transactions.
On November 13, 2025, BPAC consummated its IPO of 5,750,000 Units, including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of BPAC and one public right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one Class A ordinary share of BPAC. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreements, the Company completed the private sale of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,972,500. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO.
Upon the closing of BPAC’s IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, approximately $57,500,000 ($10.00 per unit) of net proceeds was placed in the Trust Account.
BPAC’s amended memorandum and articles of association, conditionally adopted by a special resolution passed on August 15, 2025 and effective immediately prior to the listing of the securities of BPAC on Nasdaq on November 12, 2025, provided that BPAC was required to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of BPAC’s IPO.
Prior to the closing of BPAC’s initial public offering, neither BPAC nor anyone acting on its behalf contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to any potential business combination transaction with BPAC.
After BPAC’s IPO, and consistent with BPAC’s business purpose, BPAC Board and management team commenced an active, targeted search for an initial set of potential business combination targets, leveraging BPAC’s and the Sponsor’s network of relationships and intimate knowledge of the private company marketplace, as well as the prior experience and network of the BPAC Board and management team.
In evaluating potential businesses and assets for an initial business combination, BPAC, together with its directors and management team, and the Sponsor, considered acquisition candidates worldwide and various industries, although not limited to a particular industry or geographic region in selecting a target. BPAC generally focused on companies that it believed were (i) within the advanced mobility and green logistics technology sector and sustainable supply-chain infrastructure that strongly aligned with the Company’s technology-driven approach to commercial transportation innovation and global logistics modernization, and complementing the background and network of its management team; (ii) companies with portfolio optionality that have platform opportunities and a credible roadmap to expand vertically and/or horizontally over time; (iii) companies with potential commercial and strategic synergies, including companies that can benefit from the investment and operational expertise, relationships, and contacts of BPAC’s management and the Sponsor; and (iv) sustainable stand-alone companies, including companies with sustainable business models having the capacity to grow quickly in large, addressable markets. When evaluating potential targets, BPAC generally assessed opportunities against these criteria, in addition to others.

Evaluation of the Potential Target Companies
The following is a brief description of the background of BPAC’s search for and discussion with various potential target companies. It is not, and does not purport to be, a complete catalogue of every interaction between the applicable parties.
After the IPO, the BPAC Board and management team commenced an active search for potential target businesses. In connection with evaluating potential business combinations, members of BPAC’s management team contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals, entities, investment banks, and private equity funds with respect to potential business combination opportunities focusing initially in Asia because BPAC’s management team, in its legal practice outside of its BPAC responsibilities, has significant operations in Asia with law offices in Singapore and Hong Kong and as a result, a deep network of business contacts in that region. During this process:
| ● | BPAC identified and evaluated over fourteen potential target companies in addition to its proposal to SingAuto with the objective of consummating a business combination. |
| ● | BPAC entered into non-disclosure agreements with five of these potential targets in addition to SingAuto. |
| ● | None of the five non-disclosure agreements that BPAC entered into included a standstill provision that would prevent BPAC from making an offer to the counterparty or would prevent any party from making an offer to BPAC, nor did these agreements prevent either party from pursuing another transaction. |
| ● | Among the potential targets that had entered into non-disclosure agreements with BPAC, BPAC gained access to the data room of four companies (including SingAuto) to obtain further information and based on its preliminary due diligence, discussed potential transaction proposals with three potential targets (including SingAuto). |
| ● | As part of its evaluation process, BPAC Board and management team then considered, among other things, each such potential target company’s growth characteristics, future suitability as a public company, competitive positioning within its industry, historical profitability, and financial forecasts. |
| ● | During its target identification process, BPAC did not issue a letter of intent to, or enter into substantive negotiations with, any potential target company other than SingAuto, as SingAuto was the first prospective target with which discussions advanced to a sufficiently mature stage to warrant detailed transaction negotiations. Following its evaluation of SingAuto’s business, management team, growth prospects and strategic positioning, BPAC determined that SingAuto represented an attractive business combination opportunity. In reaching this conclusion, BPAC’s management considered a number of factors, including the Company’s differentiated focus on the commercial logistics vehicle sector, its green cold-chain logistics technology solutions, and the Sponsor team’s belief in the long-term growth potential of renewable and electrified commercial transportation. BPAC also considered the increasing number of newly formed special purpose acquisition companies actively seeking merger opportunities in the market, which management believed could lead to increased competition for merger targets and potentially reduce the availability of suitable acquisition candidates over time. Accordingly, in light of BPAC’s ongoing operating expenses, the time required to identify, evaluate and negotiate a business combination transaction, and BPAC’s scheduled expiration in February 2027, absent an extension, management concluded that dedicating its resources to negotiating and completing a potential transaction with SingAuto represented a more efficient and value-maximizing course of action than continuing to pursue additional target candidates. As a result, BPAC elected to focus its efforts on negotiating and executing the Merger Agreement with SingAuto rather than conducting a broader search process. |
Target Company One:
| ● | On January 9, 2026, BPAC management team held an introductory call with the management team of a technology company focused on developing innovative solutions for cyber and network security (“TC1”). |
| ● | On January 12, 2026, TC1 provided a pitch deck to BPAC management for review. Also on January 12, 2026, BPAC and TC1 entered into a non-disclosure agreement, but BPAC was never granted access to any virtual data room. |
| ● | Between January 12, 2026 and mid-February 2026, BPAC and TC1 had multiple discussions regarding TC1’s business plan, cashflow needs and projections of future operations. On February 19, 2026, TC1 informed BPAC that it decided not to proceed with discussions with BPAC regarding a business combination, as it had chosen a different route to a public listing. |
Target Company Two:
| ● | On January 28, 2026, BPAC had a teleconference with management of a pre-clinical biotechnology company focused on cell therapies for diabetes (“TC2”). Also on that day, BPAC reviewed a presentation from TC2. |
| ● | On January 29, 2026, BPAC had a follow up call with TC2 management regarding TC2’s cash needs to continue development of its products. |
| ● | On February 2, 2026, BPAC entered into a non-disclosure agreement and was granted access to TC2’s virtual data room. |
| ● | Between February 2, 2026 and March 9, 2026, the parties had multiple teleconference and videoconference calls regarding various aspects of the business, but primarily focusing on the future scientific pathway and the capital required to achieve the projected results. |
| ● | In mid-March BPAC concluded that the public market conditions for biotechnology companies were not supportive enough for TC2’s business plan and decided to consider other potential targets. |
| ● | On March 17, 2026, BPAC decided to terminate any discussions with TC2 about a potential de-SPAC transaction. |
68
Target Company Three:
| ● | On February 13, 2026, BPAC was introduced to a European based software engineering company specializing in computer vision, geospatial intelligence, simulation, and AI-driven visual data solutions for defense, aerospace, and advanced industrial applications (“TC3”). |
| ● | On March 5, 2026, BPAC held an introductory teleconference call with TC3. |
| ● | On March 11, 2026, BPAC entered into a non-disclosure agreement with TC3 but was never granted access to a virtual data room. |
| ● | On April 14, 2026, TC3 informed BPAC that it was no longer interested in considering a merger with BPAC as it was going to raise capital in the private markets for the time-being. |
Target Company Four:
| ● | On March 5, 2026, BPAC held an introductory call with the management team of a film and entertainment fund. (“TC4”). |
| ● | On March 9, 2026, BPAC reviewed a presentation of TC4’s business plan. |
| ● | On March 13, 2026, BPAC entered into a non-disclosure agreement with TC4 and gained access to the virtual data room of TC4 on that date. |
From March 13, 2026 through April 1, 2026, the parties held multiple teleconference and videoconference calls relating to the business plan and near terms prospects for its projects as well as the cashflow needs related thereto. BPAC was concerned that such projects were highly speculative and required significant amounts of capital to produce with no guarantee of resulting revenue.
| ● | Ultimately, on or about April 1, 2026, BPAC determined that a business combination with TC4 was not in its best interest. |
Target Company Five:
| ● | On March 9, 2026, BPAC was introduced to an entertainment company that was building a spaced-based entertainment business (“TC5”) |
| ● | On March 12, 2026, BPAC reviewed TC5’s business plan. |
| ● | From March 12, 2026 through March 24, 2026 the parties had two teleconferences regarding TC5’s business plan and specifically the assumptions underlying the potential market. |
| ● | On March 24, 2026, BPAC entered into a non-disclosure agreement with TC5 and was granted access to its virtual data room. | |
| ● | From March 24, 2026 through April 13, 2026, the parties held multiple teleconference and videoconferences regarding aspects of TC5’s business plan related to the market, revenue and cost assumptions, current contracts in place and prospects for future commitments. BPAC was also concerned about the capital required to execute TC5’s business plan and sought to better understand the basis for those capital requirements. |
| ● | However, on April 13, 2026, BPAC determined that a business combination with TC5 was not in its best interest. |
In addition to those specified above, the reasons that BPAC did not continue discussions with potential targets other than the Company included the following: (i) decision on the part of the other potential targets to pursue alternative transaction structures or strategies; (ii) failure by the other potential targets and BPAC to align on valuation or capital investment expectations; (iii) various factors that led BPAC to conclude that the combined company resulting from the proposed business combination would not be perceived as an attractive investment by public and/or private investment in public equity investors, including, but not limited to, the valuation attributed to such potential targets, the maturity of such potential targets’ businesses, their respective business plans, market sentiments of the industries in which the potential targets operated, and market performance of their respective public company comparables; and (iv) transaction terms requested by such potential targets that were difficult for BPAC to accept, such as requesting BPAC to make up-front investments in such potential targets prior to the closing of the proposed business combination.
All discussions with representatives of potential targets other than the Company ceased on or before May 1, 2026, the date on which BPAC and the Company executed the Merger Agreement.
Background to Negotiations with SingAuto
Initial Contact and Evaluation
In November 2025, Mr. Yuqiang Liu, Chairman of SingAuto, learned of BPAC through the press release announcing the listing of BPAC's securities on Nasdaq on November 12, 2025. In December 2025, Mr. Liu contacted Mr. Jason Ye, a Partner of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP and Ortoli Rosenstadt Ye Pte. Ltd. (“ORY”) whom he has known since 2023, to discuss Blueport’s acquisition strategy. Mr. Ye, acting in his capacity as a partner of ORY, introduced Mr. Liu to BPAC’s management. He then arranged and facilitated the initial discussions and meetings between BPAC and SingAuto, which ultimately led to the proposed Business Combination. Prior to these discussions, neither BPAC, its sponsor, nor their respective officers and directors had any material business relationship with SingAuto or its management, except as described below.
Mr. Liu was introduced to Mr. Ye in 2023 through common acquaintance Jiale Chang, a retail banker who worked in Singapore at the time. Following the introduction, SingAuto management had a few discussions with Mr. Ye regarding potential financing and capital markets opportunities, including the possibility of a U.S. public listing to support the company’s growth and operational needs. SingAuto also attended several ORY-hosted events in Singapore, including the 2024 and 2025 ORY APAC-US Conferences, where it met professional advisors, investment bankers, and prospective investors, and gained additional insight into the U.S. capital markets and listing process. SingAuto never engaged ORY as legal counsel and neither ORY nor its personnel received any compensation from SingAuto in connection with these discussions or event participation.
69
William Rosenstadt is BPAC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He is also the managing principal and 50% owner of the Sponsor, and the founding member and managing partner of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP, of which Mr. Ye is a partner. Mr. Rosenstadt participated in the meetings and negotiations with SingAuto on behalf of BPAC. Roy Jiang, the other managing principal and 50% owner of the Sponsor, also participated as a representative of the Sponsor.
Following preliminary discussions in late December 2025 regarding SingAuto’s business, management team, growth strategy, and capital requirements, BPAC’s management concluded in January 2026 that SingAuto merited further evaluation as a potential business combination target. BPAC was particularly attracted to SingAuto’s proprietary green cold-chain logistics technology solutions. BPAC’s management and sponsor team also considered broader industry trends affecting the commercial transportation sector. In particular, the subsequent volatility of global oil and diesel prices highlighted the importance of fuel-cost predictability for logistics operators and fleet owners. BPAC believed that the transition toward renewable and electrically powered commercial vehicles could help customers reduce their reliance on traditional commercial trucks powered by diesel and exposure to fluctuations in fossil fuel prices while supporting increasingly stringent environmental and emissions requirements. As a result, BPAC viewed companies focused on electrification solutions for commercial logistics vehicles, including SingAuto, as potentially well positioned to benefit from long-term industry demand. This consideration, together with SingAuto’s focus on the commercial logistics vehicle segment and its green cold-chain logistics technology solutions, contributed to BPAC’s interest in further evaluating SingAuto as a potential business combination target.
Between December 2025 and January 2026, BPAC and SingAuto conducted multiple meetings, both in person and virtually. Participants included BPAC management and sponsor representatives, including Mr. Rosenstadt, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ye, as well as Mr. Liu and other members of SingAuto’s management team. The discussions were intended to, among other things, (i) confirm SingAuto’s interest in accessing the U.S. capital markets through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company and becoming a publicly traded company, (ii) provide SingAuto’s management with an understanding of BPAC’s structure, transaction terms and post-combination implications for the combined company and its shareholders, (iii) evaluate SingAuto’s business plan, growth strategy and financial projections, including management’s plans for achieving its operational and financial targets, (iv) assess SingAuto’s ability to meet Nasdaq/NYSE public-company standards, (v) understand customer concentration and commercial relationships, as well as regulatory approvals, licenses, and compliance requirements in each targeted market, and (vi) evaluate potential PIPE financing and other post-merger funding needs. The parties also discussed SingAuto’s manufacturing capability, intellectual property portfolio, technology platform, competitive positioning, market opportunities, supply-chain relationships, and long-term strategic objectives. In addition, BPAC sought to assess the strength and experience of SingAuto’s management team, the scalability of its business model, the sustainability of its competitive advantages, and its readiness to operate as a U.S.-listed public company, including its corporate governance, financial reporting and compliance capabilities.
Confidentiality Agreement and Preliminary Due Diligence
In January 2026, the parties entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement to facilitate the exchange of non-public information and a non-binding letter of intent, with a proposed merger valuation of $1.5 billion. Thereafter, BPAC and its advisors commenced preliminary business and commercial due diligence. The Company provided access to management presentations, financial information and other diligence materials.
Throughout January and February 2026, BPAC’s management reviewed presentations provided by SingAuto’s senior management team covering:
| ● | historical operating results; |
| ● | product development and commercialization plans; |
| ● | manufacturing and supply chain arrangements; |
| ● | intellectual property matters; |
| ● | customer and commercial relationships; and |
| ● | regulatory and compliance matters. |
Valuation Discussions
Beginning in late February 2026, representatives of BPAC and SingAuto engaged in negotiations regarding valuation, transaction structure and post-closing governance arrangements.
The Company initially proposed an equity valuation of approximately $1.5 to 1.6 billion based on its management’s assessment of future growth opportunities, projected revenues, projected unit sales and industry comparables. BPAC expressed concerns regarding execution risks, market conditions and projection feasibility and proposed a lower valuation range.
For FY2027 through FY2033, SINGAUTO’s management prepared projected unit sales on a market-by-market basis, based on estimated addressable markets for refrigerated light- and medium-duty commercial vehicles using a report prepared by Frost & Sullivan and expected growth in cold-chain logistics demand. The projections also assumed annual production capacity of 40,000 units at the Company’s UAE factory, with production ramping up in the second half of FY2028, sufficient chassis and component supply from manufacturing partners, and an overseas selling price starting at $44,500 per unit.
SINGAUTO’s management prepared the original projections in February 2026, before the regional hostilities affecting the UAE began that month, and revised them in late April after monitoring the effects on customer demand, procurement activity and regional operating conditions. The revised projections reduced assumed demand in the adjusted markets to reflect customers’ near-term fleet investment, delayed procurement decisions, and increased operating and logistics risks in the region. In the revised projections, adjusted-market unit sales decreased from 163,074 to 130,459, a decrease of 32,615 units, or 20.0%; total overseas unit sales, decreased from 207,701 to 175,086, a decrease of 32,615 units, or 15.7%. Projected overseas vehicle revenue decreased from $9,232.84 million to $7,787.29 million, a decrease of $1,445.55 million, or 15.7%; projected overseas vehicle gross profit decreased from $1,601.44 million to $1,317.56 million, a decrease of $283.88 million, or 17.7%, while gross margin remained 17%; and projected EBIT decreased from $953.48 million to $788.84 million, a decrease of $164.64 million, or 17.3%. The reduction in projected unit sales lowered the implied valuation under SingAuto’s model and was a significant factor in the parties’ agreement on the final transaction valuation.
Over the course of numerous meetings from February to April 2026, the parties had meetings and shared respective views on financial analyses and comparable company data. In addition, BPAC separately engaged Revere Securities, LLC to provide the BPAC Board with a fairness opinion relating to the valuation of SingAuto.
Ultimately, the parties agreed upon an implied equity value of approximately $1.2 billion, with the shareholders of SingAuto immediately prior to the closing receiving approximately 120,000,000 shares of the post-combination public company at an implied value of $10.00 per share.

Negotiation of Transaction Structure
From March through April 2026, the parties negotiated the principal terms of the proposed transaction, including:
| ● | the post-closing ownership structure; |
| ● | treatment of BPAC public shares, founder shares and rights; |
| ● | governance and board composition; |
| ● | representations and warranties; |
| ● | covenants and interim operating restrictions; |
| ● | closing conditions; |
| ● | indemnification arrangements; |
| ● | regulatory approvals; and |
| ● | Nasdaq listing requirements. |
During these negotiations, the parties, together with their legal counsel, evaluated several alternative transaction structures. The parties ultimately determined that a structure involving the reincorporation of BPAC into the Purchaser, followed by the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, would provide an efficient framework for completing the business combination and operating the combined company following closing. Parties also had numerous discussion both in person and through videoconference regarding the documents needed to complete the signing of BCA.
On April 22, 2026, the parties and their respective counsel held a videoconference regarding outstanding due diligence matters and open BCA items. SingAuto provided responses to questions from BPAC management and its board of directors regarding the presentation materials.
On April 27, 2026, counsel to both parties discussed the ancillary documents to the BCA. On the same day, BPAC management reviewed the first draft of the Form 8-K disclosing the anticipated execution of the BCA, BPAC management held a teleconference with counsel regarding outstanding BCA items, including the ownership of certain intellectual property of the Company.
Board Consideration and Approval
Throughout the negotiation process, BPAC’s management updated the BPAC Board regarding the status of discussions with the Company, ongoing due diligence findings and evolving transaction terms.
In late April 2026, the BPAC’s Board reviewed:
| ● | management’s diligence findings; |
| ● | financial analyses relating to the Company; |
| ● | strategic benefits of the transaction; |
| ● | potential risks and uncertainties; |
| ● | fairness opinion provided by Revere Securities, LLC; |
| ● | proposed governance arrangements; and |
| ● | the draft Merger Agreement. |
The BPAC Board also considered alternative strategic opportunities available to BPAC and the potential consequences of not completing a business combination within the required timeframe.
Following these discussions, the BPAC Board unanimously determined that the proposed transaction was advisable and in the best interests of BPAC and its shareholders.
Similarly, the Company’s board of directors reviewed the proposed transaction, strategic alternatives and related risks and benefits before unanimously approving the transaction.
Execution of the Business Combination Agreement
Following final negotiations among the parties and their advisors, on May 1, 2026, BPAC, the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company entered into the Merger Agreement. Under the Merger Agreement, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, and Merger Sub will subsequently merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. Following the closing, PubCo is expected to become the publicly traded parent company and its ordinary shares are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, subject to satisfaction of applicable closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Use of the Projections in Connection with the Business Combination
On February 19, 2026, SINGAUTO provided Revere with an initial financial projections prepared by SINGAUTO’s management covering its fiscal years 2026 through 2030 (the “Projections”).
Following the initial delivery of the Projections to Revere, SINGAUTO updated the Projections on two occasions to reflect more recent financial and operating information available to SINGAUTO, as well as discussions and developments occurring during the course of the negotiation process. The final version of the Projections, covering SINGAUTO’s fiscal years 2027 through 2033, was finalized on May 1, 2026. Revere used the successive updated versions of the Projections in connection with its financial analyses. BPAC and the BPAC Board did not independently review or rely on the Projections themselves. Rather, the BPAC Board considered and relied on Revere’s analyses and conclusions, among other factors, in (i) evaluating SINGAUTO’s business, financial condition and prospects, (ii) evaluating and negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, including the merger consideration, and (iii) determining that the Business Combination and the merger consideration were advisable and in the best interests of BPAC and its shareholders.
71
Relationship Between the Projections and the Merger Consideration
The merger consideration of $1.2 billion (or 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares at an implied value of $10.00 per share) was negotiated between representatives of BPAC and SINGAUTO during February through April 2026 and was reflected in the Merger Agreement executed on May 1, 2026. In assessing the proposed merger consideration, BPAC considered Revere’s valuation analyses, which were based in material part on the successive versions of the Projections provided by SINGAUTO to Revere. Those analyses took into account, among other things, the enterprise value ranges derived from the projected financial performance of SINGAUTO, SINGAUTO’s estimated net cash of approximately $58 million as of the anticipated closing date, and execution risks, including risks associated with global political instability. Following negotiation and consideration of these factors, the parties agreed upon the $1.2 billion merger consideration.
Use of the Projections by Revere
Revere used the Projections as a principal input in its discounted cash flow, comparable companies and precedent transactions analyses described under “Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion.” As the Projections were revised by SINGAUTO, Revere incorporated the updated information into its analyses. The final Projections, covering fiscal years 2027 through 2033 and finalized on May 1, 2026, were used by Revere in connection with its final valuation analyses.
Revere’s financial analyses formed the basis for its opinion, dated May 1, 2026, that the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to BPAC’s public shareholders. The BPAC Board relied on Revere’s analyses and fairness opinion, rather than directly on the Projections, in reaching its conclusions regarding the fairness of the merger consideration and the advisability of the Business Combination. See “Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion” beginning on page 73 for a description of the specific assumptions, discount rates and terminal value methodology applied by Revere in its analyses.
BPAC Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination
The BPAC Board unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination, and all other related transactions.
The BPAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated shareholders for the purposes of negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement and Business Combination transaction and/or prepare a report concerning approval of the Business Combination. The Business Combination is not structured so that the approval of at least a majority of the unaffiliated shareholders of the BPAC is required for consummation of the Business Combination.
The BPAC Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of these factors, the BPAC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of the BPAC Board may have given different weight to different factors. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
In addition to the factors described above, the BPAC Board also considered the structure of the Business Combination, including the form of the transaction and the jurisdictions involved, and the reasons why such structure was appropriate under the circumstances. In evaluating the structure, the BPAC Board considered input from BPAC’s management, legal counsel and tax advisors.
The BPAC Board recognized that the Company’s principal operations, management team and research and development activities are located in Singapore and that the Company is subject to Singapore tax laws and regulatory considerations. Accordingly, the BPAC Board considered that the structure of the Business Combination needed to be designed in a manner that would be tax-efficient from a Singapore tax perspective, preserve the Company’s existing operational footprint and minimize disruption to its ongoing business. The BPAC Board believed that alternative transaction structures that did not appropriately account for Singapore tax considerations could result in adverse tax consequences, increased complexity, or operational inefficiencies following the closing of the Business Combination.
The BPAC Board also considered that the Business Combination structure would permit BPAC’s public shareholders to remain invested on substantially the same economic terms, subject to their redemption rights, while enabling the combined company to become publicly traded without requiring a reorganization of BPAC’s shareholder base. The BPAC Board believed that this structure appropriately balanced the interests of BPAC’s shareholders with the Company’s desire to access the U.S. public capital markets while maintaining its Singapore-based operations.
In addition, the BPAC Board considered that the selected structure would provide flexibility to support the Company’s anticipated future growth, including potential collaborations, financings and strategic transactions, while maintaining compliance with applicable tax, regulatory and corporate governance requirements in Singapore and other relevant jurisdictions. The BPAC Board believed that the structure of the Business Combination was therefore appropriate and in the best interests of BPAC and its shareholders in light of the Company’s business, geographic footprint and long-term strategic objectives.
72
Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion
BPAC retained Revere Securities LLC (“Revere”) on February 10, 2026 to provide financial analyses in connection with BPAC’s evaluation of the proposed Business Combination and, ultimately, its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the BPAC’s public shareholders regarding the Business Combination. Revere, as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. The BPAC Board selected Revere to act as its fairness opinion provider in connection with the Business Combination on the basis of Revere’s experience in similar transactions and its reputation in the investment community.
On May 1, 2026, Revere delivered to the BPAC Board a written opinion, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions and limitations described in its written opinion (the “Revere Opinion”), (i) the merger consideration to be paid by BPAC is fair, from a financial point of view, to BPAC’s public shareholders and (ii) SINGAUTO has an aggregate fair market value equal to at least eighty percent (80.0%) of the assets held by BPAC in the Trust Account for the benefit of BPAC’s public shareholders (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). For purposes of its financial analyses, Revere assumed that the aggregate consideration per the Merger Agreement would have a value equal to $1,200,000,000 at Closing.
The full text of the Revere Opinion to the BPAC Board, which describes, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex C hereto and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The following summary of the Revere Opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revere Opinion. Revere delivered the Revere Opinion to the BPAC Board for the benefit and use of the BPAC Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Business Combination from a financial point of view. The Revere Opinion also does not address the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might exist for BPAC, or the underlying business decision of BPAC whether to proceed with those business strategies or transactions. In addition, the Revere Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of BPAC as to how such shareholder should vote or act with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.
In connection with rendering the Revere Opinion, Revere, among other things:
| ● | considered our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as our experience in connection with similar transactions, and business and securities valuations generally; |
| ● | reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement, dated April 14, 2026 and associated transaction documents relevant to the Opinion, and assumed that the final form of the Merger Agreement will not differ from such draft in any material respect; |
| ● | conducted discussions with the Company’s management regarding the Company’s recent business history and business plans; |
73
| ● | reviewed publicly available financial information of BPAC filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks and certain reports on material events filed on Form 8-Ks between the date of its IPO and as of the date hereof; |
| ● | reviewed certain publicly and non-publicly available business and financial information concerning the Company and the industries in which it operates; |
| ● | compared the financial and operating performance of the Company with publicly available information concerning certain other companies we deemed relevant, including certain publicly traded securities of such other companies; |
| ● | reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the management of the Company relating to its business; |
| ● | performed a public company comparable analysis of similar companies to the Company to derive certain forward multiples; and |
| ● | performed such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate. |
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, as contained in the Revere Opinion, Revere did not independently verify any of the foregoing information and Revere assumed and relied upon such information being accurate and complete in all material respects, and Revere further relied upon the assurances of management of SINGAUTO that they are not aware of any facts that would make any of the information reviewed by Revere inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect. In addition, Revere has not assumed any responsibility for any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities, including any ongoing litigation and administrative investigations, if any, of SINGAUTO, nor has Revere been furnished with any such valuation or appraisal. In addition, Revere has not assumed any obligation to conduct, nor has it conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of SINGAUTO.
With respect to the financial forecasts regarding SINGAUTO, Revere assumed that they were reasonably prepared on the basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgment of the management of SINGAUTO as to the future competitive, operating and regulatory environment and related financial performance of SINGAUTO and that the financial projections and the assumptions derived therefrom provided a reasonable basis upon which Revere could form its opinion. Such forecasts and projections were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure. All such projected financial information was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projected financial information. Revere relied on this projected information without independent verification or analysis and did not in any respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof .
The issuance of the Revere Opinion was approved by an authorized internal committee of Revere. The Revere Opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on, and the information made available to it on, the date thereof. Revere expressed no opinion as to the underlying valuation, future performance or long-term viability of BPAC and its successors. Further, Revere expressed no opinion as to what the value of the BPAC Ordinary Shares actually will be when the Business Combination is consummated or the prices at which BPAC Ordinary Shares will trade at any time. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments may affect the Revere Opinion, Revere does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm it and has expressly disclaimed any responsibility to do so.
The following represents a brief summary of the material financial analyses reviewed by the BPAC Board and performed by Revere in connection with the Revere Opinion. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by Revere, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Revere. Considering the data set forth in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by Revere. Except as otherwise noted, the following information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before the date of the Revere Opinion and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Financial Analyses
Revere employed various methods to analyze the range of implied equity values of SINGAUTO. For purposes of its financial analyses, Revere analyzed SINGAUTO using two business lines: its commercial electric vehicle business (the “CEV Segment”) and its technology licensing and royalty business (the “Licensing and Royalty Segment”). Such methods included a comparable public company analysis using different comparable companies for each of the CEV Segment and the Licensing and Royalty Segment, and a discounted cash flow analysis with respect to the CEV Segment only.
Comparable Public Company Analysis
To calculate the implied enterprise value of SINGAUTO’s CEV Segment, Revere first obtained the median enterprise value (EV)/ fiscal year 2030E earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples from a total of five (5) comparable public companies, identified by Revere and applied them to SINGAUTO’s projected fiscal year 2030E EBITDA. The public company comparables were selected using the following criteria: (i) companies listed on a major stock exchange in the United States or Europe (ii) has known and positive FY2030E EBITDA projections available from public sources, (iii) operates in the sale or servicing of commercial vehicles, including electric vehicles, or in trucking, fleet operations, cold-chain logistics or refrigerated transportation .
When applying such criteria, Revere was focused on similarity of business model and market sectors rather than the size of the comparable companies as compared to SINGAUTO. It should be noted that there are some differences between the selected companies and the Company, specifically that some have a larger equity values, different rates of sales growth, slightly different EBITDA margins, and different geographical areas of growth. While no individual company is identical to the Company, all the companies selected in the business vertical are those that Revere deemed relevant based on its experience and professional judgment.
FY2030E financial metrics were used because SINGAUTO’s projected FY2027 through FY2029 results reflected an early-stage commercialization and production ramp period, including the expected ramp-up of the UAE assembly facility, transition from procurement to semi-knocked-down assembly, production capacity expansion and sales volume growth across target markets. FY2030E represented the first forecast year in which the CEV Segment was projected to achieve meaningful commercial scale and positive EBITDA contribution. FY2030E was not intended to represent normalized or steady-state performance, and actual results may differ materially from the projections.
The median FY2030E EV/EBITDA multiple for the CEV Segment (of 7.87x) was multiplied by the FY2030E EBITDA contribution of SINGAUTO’s CEV Segment of $159.54 million, to derive an implied enterprise value of $1,255.99 million.
The table below summarizes certain observed historical and projected financial performance and trading multiples of the selected public companies, which were sourced from S&P Capital IQ data as of April 22, 2026.

To calculate the implied enterprise value of SINGAUTO’s Licensing and Royalty Segment, Revere obtained the median enterprise value (EV) / fiscal year 2030E revenue multiples from a total of five (5) comparable public companies, identified by Revere, and applied them to SINGAUTO’s projected fiscal year 2030E licensing and royalty revenue. The public company comparables were selected using the following criteria: (i) companies listed on a major stock exchange in the United States, China, or Europe; (ii) has meaningful and positive FY2030E revenue estimates available from public sources; and (iii) operations in the supply or licensing of automotive technologies, components, or electronics. Revere combined comparable companies trading on stock exchanges in China and U.S. because Revere was looking for a broad comparable set, and SINGAUTO’s Licensing and Royalty Segment focuses on markets including the PRC.
Revere used an EV/Revenue multiple, rather than an EV/EBITDA multiple, for the Licensing and Royalty Segment because the projected financial information for such segment primarily reflected royalty revenue, including royalty revenue calculated at 22% of Xinshiya Shanghai’s net sales of SINGAUTO products within the PRC under the existing license agreement with Xinshiya Shanghai, and, to the extent assumed in the projections, royalty or licensing revenue from future licensing arrangements. The related costs and expenses were not separately allocable to the Licensing and Royalty Segment. Accordingly, Revere determined that an EV/Revenue multiple was a more appropriate metric for purposes of its comparable public company analysis of the Licensing and Royalty Segment.
75
The median FY2030E EV/Revenue multiple for the Licensing and Royalty Segment (of 0.73x) was multiplied by the FY2030E revenue contribution of SINGAUTO’s Licensing and Royalty Segment of $254.89 million, to derive an implied enterprise value of $187.15 million.
Revere then added the implied enterprise value of the Commercial Electric Vehicle Segment of $1,255.99 million, as derived from the comparable public company analysis described above, resulting in a sum-of-the-parts implied enterprise value of $1,443.14 million. SINGAUTO’s net cash of $58.58 million, based on management-provided information, was added to the enterprise value to obtain an implied equity value using this analysis of $1,501.72 million.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Revere performed a discounted cash flow analysis of SINGAUTO’s CEV Segment by calculating the present value of the estimated unlevered free cash flows that the CEV Segment was forecast to generate during fiscal years 2027 through 2033, based on the financial projections provided by SINGAUTO management and described below. Revere performed the discounted cash flow analysis only with respect to the CEV Segment. The Licensing and Royalty Segment was valued separately using the comparable public company analysis described above.
Some of the key assumptions in its analysis include the following:
| ● | Revenue growth for the CEV Segment was based on SINGAUTO management’s projected sales volumes for the S1 vehicle, V1 vehicle, S1 chassis and value-added services. Product pricing was assumed to remain fixed throughout the fiscal years 2027 through 2033 forecast period, with incremental value expected to be driven by value-added configurations, including autonomous-driving and intelligent cold-chain systems, rather than price reductions. |
| ● | SINGAUTO’s projected revenue growth was driven by management’s assumptions regarding new customer expansion, overall growth in the global new energy commercial vehicle and cold-chain logistics markets, increased market penetration, premium configurations, third-party manufacturing and supply arrangements, and production capacity made available through the phased ramp-up of manufacturing and assembly arrangements. SINGAUTO’s CEV sales volume was projected to increase from 500 units in FY2027 to 44,723 units in FY2033. |
| ● | SINGAUTO’s fiscal year 2027 CEV sales were expected to be primarily driven by existing MOU-backed demand for S1 vehicles. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, SINGAUTO has entered into MOUs with 10 potential customers from Asia, Australia and the Middle East and Xinshiya Shanghai has entered into MOUs with 8 potential customers from the PRC and Hong Kong under which SINGAUTO is entitled to a royalty fee on sales. These MOUs are generally non-binding and remain subject to definitive agreements, production schedules, and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance that any MOUs will be converted into definitive agreements, binding purchase orders or actual sales, or that any such sales will occur on the timing or terms assumed in the projections. In August 2026, Xinshiya Shanghai entered into a definitive agreement with a customer. |
| ● | Terminal value was calculated using a 2.1% perpetuity growth rate applied to the CEV Segment’s terminal year unlevered free cash flow. The 2.1% perpetuity growth rate was selected by Revere based on its professional judgment and experience, including its view that the terminal free cash flow growth rate should be less than the expected long-term GDP growth rate. |
| ● | The projected unlevered free cash flows and terminal value were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 20.4%, reflecting Revere’s estimate of SINGAUTO’s weighted average cost of capital. The discount rate was calculated using the capital asset pricing model, which took into account a risk-free rate of 4.3%, a levered beta of approximately 0.82, based on the adjusted median levered beta of selected comparable companies; an equity risk premium of 4.67%; a country risk premium of 0.64%; a size premium of 2.66%; and a company-specific risk premium of 9.0% reflecting the Company’s early stage of development and the execution risk associated with its production ramp. |
76
Based on the present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows and the present value of the terminal value, Revere’s discounted cash flow analysis indicated an implied enterprise value for the CEV Segment of $772.73 million. Revere then added the implied enterprise value of the Licensing and Royalty Segment of $187.15 million, as derived from the comparable public company analysis described above, resulting in a sum-of-the-parts implied enterprise value of $959.88 million. SINGAUTO’s net cash of $58.58 million, based on management-provided information, was added to the enterprise value to obtain an implied equity value using this analysis of $1,018.46 million.
Miscellaneous
The discussion set forth above is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Revere to the BPAC Board in connection with the Revere Opinion and is not a comprehensive description of all analyses undertaken by Revere in connection with the Revere Opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Revere believes that its analyses summarized above must be considered as a whole. Revere further believes that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered, or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Revere’s analyses and opinion as provided in the Revere Opinion. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis referred to in the summary.
The estimates of the future performance of SINGAUTO in or underlying Revere’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those estimates or those suggested by Revere’s analyses. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which a company might actually be sold or the prices at which any securities have traded or may trade at any time in the future. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the ranges of valuations resulting from, any particular analysis described above are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty and should not be taken to be Revere’s view of the actual values of the BPAC Ordinary Shares.
Conclusion
The total implied equity values for SINGAUTO indicated by Revere’s analyses ranged from approximately $1,018.46 million to approximately $1,501.72 million. The low end of the range was based on Revere’s discounted cash flow analysis of the CEV Segment and comparable public company analysis of the Licensing and Royalty Segment, and the high end of the range was based on Revere’s comparable public company analysis of both the CEV Segment and the Licensing and Royalty Segment. The merger consideration to be paid by BPAC of $1.2 billion is below the midpoint of the valuation range of Revere’s analyses.
Based on its analysis, as provided in the Revere Opinion, it is Revere’s opinion that (i) the merger consideration to be paid by BPAC is fair, from a financial point of view, to BPAC’s public shareholders and (ii) SINGAUTO has an aggregate fair market value equal to at least eighty percent (80.0%) of the assets held by BPAC in the Trust Account for the benefit of BPAC’s public shareholders (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).
The type and amount of consideration payable in the Business Combination was determined through negotiations between BPAC and SINGAUTO and was approved by the BPAC Board. The decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was solely that of the BPAC Board. As described above, the Revere Opinion and the underlying analyses were only one of many factors considered by the BPAC Board in its evaluation of the Business Combination and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of BPAC’s or SINGAUTO’s management with respect to the Business Combination.
Fees and Expenses
As compensation for Revere’s services in connection with the rendering of the Revere Opinion to the BPAC Board, BPAC agreed to pay Revere a fee of $180,000. $90,000 of the fee was paid as a retainer, and the remaining $90,000 was paid upon delivery of the Revere Opinion. BPAC agreed to indemnify Revere against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the services rendered. Revere will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon the successful consummation of the Business Combination. No portion of Revere’s fee is refundable or contingent upon the conclusion reached in the Revere Opinion. There has not been any material relationship that existed during the past two years or is mutually understood to be contemplated and any compensation received or to be received as a result of the relationship between Revere, its affiliates, and/or unaffiliated representative; and BPAC and/or their respective affiliates. Neither BPAC nor BPAC’s sponsor provided any instructions to Revere or imposed any limitations on Revere in connection with the preparation of or conclusions made in the Revere Opinion.

Certain Unaudited SINGAUTO Prospective Financial Information
SINGAUTO provided BPAC with its internally prepared forecasts, as described below. These forecasts were prepared by SINGAUTO solely for internal use, including budgeting and other management purposes, are subjective in many respects and are therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or holders. You are cautioned not to rely on the forecasts in making a decision regarding the Business Combination, as the forecasts may be materially different than actual results.
The forecasts are based on information provided to the BPAC Board prior to the meeting at which it approved the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, and reflect numerous assumptions, including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond SINGAUTO’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. In developing the projected financial information, numerous significant assumptions were made, in addition to the assumptions described above, with respect to SINGAUTO’s business for the periods covered by the financial projections. SINGAUTO has affirmed to BPAC that the prospective financial information reflects the best currently available estimates and good-faith judgment of SINGAUTO’s management as to the future financial performance of SINGAUTO as of the most recent practicable date. The prospective financial information was based on the following quantitative assumptions that SINGAUTO’s management believed to be material, appropriate and reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, based on the information SINGAUTO had at that time:
Estimation of Revenue
SINGAUTO is a pre-revenue company and has not commenced commercial sales of its vehicles or generated revenue from vehicle sales or related services. The projected financial information assumes that SINGAUTO will generate revenue primarily from the sale of commercial electric vehicles, including its S1 vehicle, S1 chassis and V1 vehicle, to customers in Asia, Australia and the Middle East, , together with technology licensing and royalty revenue from Xinshiya Shanghai from customers in the PRC and Hong Kong, and, to the extent assumed in the projections, future licensing arrangements.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the Company expects to generate approximately $24 million of revenue from its commercial EV segment, derived principally from anticipated sales supported by signed MOUs and customer development activities. These MOUs are generally non-binding and remain subject to definitive agreements, production schedules, and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance that any MOUs will be converted into definitive agreements, binding purchase orders or actual sales, or that any such sales will occur on the timing or terms assumed in the projections.
Because the planned UAE factory is currently targeted for production readiness in the second half of calendar year 2027, subject to construction progress, equipment installation, regulatory approvals, supply-chain readiness and other customary factors, the Company may fulfill part or all of its anticipated FY2027 commercial EV demand through third-party manufacturing, supply or procurement arrangements, including arrangements with PRC-based manufacturers and suppliers. From FY2028 onward, production is expected to be supported by the phased ramp-up of manufacturing and assembly arrangements, including the planned UAE factory and other third-party manufacturing or assembly partners.
The Company’s commercial electric vehicle revenue projections are built from a unit-sales forecast. Unit sales are projected to grow from approximately 500 units in fiscal 2027 to approximately 3,737 units in fiscal 2028, 10,147 units in fiscal 2029, 21,304 units in fiscal 2030, 31,644 units in fiscal 2031, 43,846 units in fiscal 2032 and 44,723 units in fiscal 2033. The projections assume no material repeat-purchase volume within the forecast period, and projected growth is instead attributed primarily to new customer acquisition, expansion into new geographic markets, overall growth in the global new energy commercial vehicle and cold-chain logistics markets, increased market penetration, premium configurations, third-party manufacturing and supply arrangements, and production capacity made available through the phased ramp-up of manufacturing and assembly arrangements.
Product pricing is assumed to remain fixed throughout the forecast period, with no assumed price reductions or promotional discounts. The forecast assumes distribution unit prices of approximately $48,967 for S1 vehicles, $36,588 for S1 chassis and $42,437 for V1 vehicles in the Middle East markets. Incremental value is expected to be delivered through premium configurations and value-added features, including autonomous-driving and intelligent cold-chain systems, rather than through changes in base vehicle pricing. Autonomous-driving configurations are expected to be priced at approximately twice the standard configurations, while the S1 chassis forecast excludes autonomous-driving variants.

In addition to vehicle sales, the Company expects to generate value-added revenue over time from financing and leasing, after-sales parts, charging services, data-related services and intelligent-driving services. The Company also expects to generate technology licensing and royalty revenue under its existing license agreement with Xinshiya Shanghai and, to the extent assumed in the projections, future licensing arrangements. Under the Xinshiya Shanghai license agreement, SingAuto Singapore is entitled to receive a royalty equal to 22% of Xinshiya Shanghai’s net sales from SINGAUTO products within the PRC. The royalty revenue projections assume that royalty revenue will increase as sales of SINGAUTO products by Xinshiya Shanghai within the PRC and, to the extent applicable, sales under future licensing arrangements increase over the forecast period.
Estimation of Cost of Revenue
The Company’s cost of revenue primarily comprises the unit cost of SKD assembly, including battery and non-battery material costs, mold and intelligent-configuration costs, warranty accruals and logistics costs. Management assumes that the unit cost of SKD components will vary by model and configuration, with higher costs for autonomous-driving configurations, while decreasing year over year through cost-reduction initiatives. Warranty costs are assumed to represent approximately 3% to 5% of vehicle revenue, including non-battery warranty accruals and battery warranty costs embedded in the overseas purchase price. Inbound transportation costs are calculated based on the industry-standard loading of three semi-knocked-down vehicles per 40HQ container, with shipments departing from original equipment manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia and arriving in the UAE, and take into account ocean freight, insurance, terminal handling charges, customs clearance, documentation fees and local pickup fees. As a result of the foregoing assumptions, gross margin for the commercial EV segment is projected to improve from approximately 15% in fiscal 2027 to approximately 22% by fiscal 2033.
Estimation of Operating Expense
The Company’s operating expenses comprise selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. Marketing expense in FY2027 primarily includes one-time costs associated with the Company’s public listing, and thereafter is expected to focus on core advertising and promotional activities for market expansion. Headcount is expected to grow steadily to support production ramp-up, regional expansion and business development, in line with the Company’s sales and production plan. Research and development expenses are expected to relate primarily to S1/V1 model development, mid-cycle model upgrades and autonomous-driving technology. Management assumes that the marketing expense and R&D expenses, calculated on a per-vehicle basis, are expected to stabilize from FY2028 through FY2033.
Estimation of Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures in FY2027 and FY2028 relate primarily to construction and initial build-out of the UAE factory and related SKD assembly capacity. From FY2029 onward, capital expenditures are expected to relate primarily to capacity upgrades, tooling, molds and production-line modifications to support projected sales volume growth. Management assumes that the UAE factory’s production capacity will be developed in phases based on capitalized investments and aligned with projected sales volume growth. Because the UAE factory is expected to operate primarily as an SKD assembly facility rather than a full-process manufacturing facility, management expects the required capital expenditures per unit of capacity to be lower than those of a traditional original equipment manufacturer. The Company’s capital-expenditure and working-capital requirements for FY2027 and FY2028 are expected to be funded through a combination of its partnership with the local manufacturer, shareholder funding and new equity investment to be raised in connection with the Company’s planned public listing.

The projected financial information was also prepared using the following qualitative assumptions that SINGAUTO’s management believed to be material:
| ● | The planned UAE factory will become production-ready in the second half of calendar year 2027, subject to construction progress, equipment installation, regulatory approvals, supply-chain readiness and other customary factors; |
| ● | Manufacturing and assembly capacity will be expanded in phases based on capitalized investments and projected sales volume growth, including through the planned UAE facility and other third-party manufacturing or assembly partners; |
| ● | The Company will obtain the sales, manufacturing and other licenses and regulatory approvals necessary to support its projected commercial operations in its target markets; |
| ● | Demand for new energy commercial vehicles, including refrigerated trucks and light logistics vehicles, will continue to grow across the Company’s target markets in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and other regions; |
| ● | A substantial portion of the signed MOUs by us or Xinshiya Shanghai will be converted into definitive agreements, binding purchase orders or sales with an initial focus on Asia markets; |
| ● | The Company will continue to expand its customer base and geographic footprint; |
| ● | The existing license agreement with Xinshiya Shanghai will remain in effect and perform in accordance with its terms; and |
| ● | The Company will secure sufficient funding and working capital and will execute its planned capital expenditures, including UAE factory construction, expansion and related tooling, to support its production ramp. |
Although the assumptions and estimates on which the forecasts for revenue, gross profit and EBITDA are based are believed by SINGAUTO’s management to be reasonable and based on the best then-currently available information, the financial forecasts are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond SINGAUTO’s control. While all forecasts are necessarily speculative, SINGAUTO believes that the prospective financial information covering periods beyond twelve months from its date of preparation carries increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and forecasted results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the forecasts. In addition, the prospective financial information is not being included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any BPAC shareholder to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal presented at the shareholder meeting but is being included because such forecasts were made available to the BPAC board in connection with its evaluation of SINGAUTO.
80
Satisfaction of 80% Test
After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — BPAC Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination,” the BPAC Board concluded that the Business Combination met the requirements disclosed in the IPO prospectus with respect to BPAC’s initial business combination, including that the Business Combination had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of execution of the Merger Agreement.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
| ● | duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole; |
| ● | duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose; |
| ● | directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion; |
| ● | duty to exercise powers fairly as between different classes of shareholders; |
| ● | duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and |
| ● | duty to exercise independent judgment. |
In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings. BPAC’s Sponsor and its affiliate(s) as well as each of BPAC’s directors and officers presently have, and in the future any of our Sponsor and its affiliate(s), our directors and our officers may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such Sponsor, affiliate(s), officer or director is or will be required to present acquisition opportunities to such entity. Accordingly, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, if any of BPAC’s officers or directors becomes aware of an acquisition opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will need to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity, and only present it to BPAC if such entity rejects the opportunity.
BPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, BPAC renounces its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one BPAC is legally and contractually permitted to complete on a reasonable basis. Each of BPAC’s directors considered the potential conflicts of interest arising from their personal circumstances, existing fiduciary obligations, and other factors. No director of BPAC had any pre-existing material business relationship with SINGAUTO. As described under “Background of the Business Combination — Background to Negotiations with SingAuto,” Mr. Liu learned of BPAC through BPAC’s Nasdaq listing announcement and contacted Mr. Jason Ye, a partner of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP and Ortoli Rosenstadt Ye Pte. Ltd. (“ORY”), where Mr. Rosenstadt is also a partner. Mr. Ye then facilitated the discussions between BPAC and SINGAUTO. Mr. Liu was introduced to Mr. Ye through common acquaintance in 2023. SINGAUTO had thereafter engaged in certain discussions with Mr. Ye regarding potential financing and capital markets opportunities and attended certain ORY-hosted events. SINGAUTO did not engage ORY as legal counsel, and neither ORY nor its personnel received any compensation from SINGAUTO in connection with such discussions or event participation. BPAC believes that the potential conflict of interest relating to the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association did not impact its search for an acquisition target and that BPAC was not prevented from reviewing any opportunities as a result of such waiver. For a summary of the entities to which BPAC’s executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties, contractual obligations or other material management relationships, see “BPAC’s Directors and Executive Officers — Conflicts of Interest”.
81
BPAC is not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with its Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event that BPAC seeks to complete its initial business combination with such a company or BPAC’s Board of Directors cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, BPAC, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions or from an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to BPAC from a financial point of view. Although SINGAUTO is not an affiliate of BPAC’s Sponsor, officers, or directors, the BPAC Board chose to obtain a fairness opinion to assist with its review of the transaction. For further information related to the fairness opinion, see “Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion”.
When you consider the recommendation of the BPAC Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination and the related Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor (which is affiliated with certain of BPAC’s officers and directors) and BPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder generally, including but not limited to the following:
None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.
In considering the recommendation of the BPAC Board to approve the Merger Agreement, BPAC shareholders should be aware that BPAC executive officers, directors and Sponsor have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of BPAC shareholders generally, including but not limited to the following:
| ● | Since our Sponsor, officers and directors directly or indirectly own BPAC ordinary shares and BPAC Rights, our Sponsor, officers and directors have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor intends to transfer 25,000 of its founder shares to our Chief Financial Officer at the consummation of an initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, Mr. Sandher will not receive such compensation and all founder shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will become worthless. Accordingly, there may exist a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. | |
| ● | Our Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) independent director to serve on PubCo’s five-person board of directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information. |
| ● | If an initial business combination is not completed within the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to liquidate. In such event: |
| ● | 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to BPAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.017 per share, or $25,000 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Such Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of $10.[●] per share on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the founder shares, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the BPAC Class B ordinary shares if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
| ● | 197,250 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor for $1,972,500 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. At the consummation of the Business Combination, such Private Placement Units would have an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based on the closing price of $10.[●] per Unit on Nasdaq as of [●]. The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since the Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, and our officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Private Placement Units if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
82
| ● | Our Sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. Our sponsor and its affiliates, and our directors and officers will retain 1,667,625 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, representing ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the combined company, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders. Such ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●], based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. |
| ● | The Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other BPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the combined company following the Business Combination. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BPAC’s public shareholders who purchased shares in BPAC’s initial public offering, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BPAC’s Sponsor would have a gain of approximately $4.98 per share because it acquired the founder shares for a nominal amount. |
| ● | The Sponsor may make loans from time to time to BPAC to fund certain capital requirements. If our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. If we do not complete the Business Combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital 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. Since BPAC will not repay such loans if BPAC does not complete a business combination, a conflict of interest may arise. As of June 30, 2026, no such working capital loans were outstanding. |
| ● | If BPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor may be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for BPAC. If BPAC consummates an initial business combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims. |
| ● | The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on BPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. Unless we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors and insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account. If the proposed Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, BPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working capital if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed within Combination Period. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates have not had any unpaid reimbursable expenses. |
| ● | The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of BPAC’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination covering BPAC’s current directors and officers. |
| ● | The exercise of BPAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interests. |
| ● | None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. |
| ● | BPAC’s officers and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
| ● | In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. |
| ● | The fact that the Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their BPAC ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. |
The foregoing interests present a risk that the Sponsor, BPAC’s officers and directors, and their affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with the holders of BPAC public shares. As such, the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to holders of BPAC public shares rather than to liquidate.
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
In addition, our Sponsor or any of its affiliates may make additional investments in BPAC in connection with the initial business combination, although our Sponsor and its affiliates have no obligation or current intention to do so. If our Sponsor or any of its affiliates elects to make additional investments, such proposed investments could influence our Sponsor’s motivation to complete an initial business combination.
83
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities to multiple entities.
The foregoing personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as BPAC’s directors and executive officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting SINGAUTO as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with SINGAUTO and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. Moreover, the foregoing interests present a risk that the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination, including in a manner that may not be aligned with public shareholders. As such, the Sponsor may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. In considering the recommendations of the BPAC Board to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.
Compensation Received by Sponsor and its Affiliates
Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by PubCo to BPAC Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.
| Interest in Securities | Other Compensation | |||
| Sponsor | Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share for its BPAC Class B ordinary shares purchased in connection with BPAC’s formation. The Sponsor also paid $1,972,500, or approximately $10.00 per unit for its Private Placement Unit purchased in connection with the IPO. The Sponsor currently holds 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 shares of BPAC Class B ordinary shares. At Closing, Sponsor will hold a total of 1,667,625 PubCo ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 1,437,500 shares converted from the BPAC Class B ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis, (ii) 197,250 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units, and (iii) 32,875 Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights underlying the Private Placement Units. | At Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SINGAUTO will use cash from the trust account to pay BPAC transaction expenses and to reimburse or pay Sponsor or its affiliates for any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor or its affiliates to the extent that such loans are not converted into the Private Placement Units of BPAC in connection with the Business Combination. BPAC currently estimates that the total amount payable for BPAC transaction expenses and any outstanding loans or other obligations of BPAC to Sponsor and its affiliates is approximately $[●] million. Any working capital loans to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination will either be repaid upon consummation of the Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, upon consummation of the initial business combination. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. BPAC has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor and its affiliates for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026, there were no out-of-pocket unpaid reimbursable expenses for which the Sponsor and its affiliates are awaiting reimbursement. On May 13, 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan BPAC up to an aggregate amount of $190,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the business combination (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from BPAC to the Sponsor. The Convertible Note is payable no later than the date on which BPAC terminates or consummates an initial business combination with a target business. The Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding unpaid obligations, in whole or in part, into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination. On November 11, 2025, BPAC entered into an administration service agreement with the Sponsor for a term of 15 months, pursuant to which BPAC agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. As of June 30, 2026, BPAC has incurred and accrued administrative service fees totaling $76,667. |

Benefits and Detriments of the Business Combination
In reaching its determination to approve the Business Combination, the BPAC Board considered the potential benefits and detriments of the Business Combination to BPAC, the Sponsor and its affiliates, SingAuto and its affiliates, and BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders.
BPAC. The BPAC Board considered, among other potential benefits, that the Business Combination would allow BPAC to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period and provide BPAC’s shareholders who elect not to redeem their shares with the opportunity to participate in the potential future growth of SingAuto. If BPAC does not complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period, BPAC will be required to liquidate and its public shareholders will receive their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.
The BPAC Board also considered potential detriments to BPAC, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination may not be realized; the risks associated with SingAuto’s business and the Combined Company described under “Risk Factors”; the significant costs associated with the Business Combination, including approximately $2,500,000 in estimated transaction expenses, which will reduce the amount of cash available to the Combined Company following the Closing; and the possibility that BPAC could have identified an alternative business combination target with a more favorable risk/return profile that could have created greater value for BPAC and its shareholders.
Sponsor and its Affiliates. The Sponsor has interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders. The Sponsor acquired 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share, and purchased 197,250 Private Placement Units for an aggregate purchase price of $1,972,500, or $10.00 per unit. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor will hold a total of 1,667,625 PubCo ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 1,437,500 shares converted from the BPAC Class B ordinary shares, (ii) 197,250 ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units and (iii) 32,875 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the private placement rights underlying the Private Placement Units. See “Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”
If BPAC does not complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period and is required to liquidate, the Sponsor’s founder shares and Private Placement Units will be worthless because the Sponsor has waived its rights to participate in distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Accordingly, the Sponsor may realize a positive return on its investment following the Business Combination even in circumstances in which BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders realize a negative return, and the Sponsor may have an incentive to complete a business combination on terms less favorable to BPAC’s public shareholders rather than allow BPAC to liquidate. Conversely, following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor will remain subject to the risks associated with its investment in the Combined Company, including the risk that the value of its PubCo ordinary shares may decline.
SingAuto and its Affiliates. The potential benefits to SingAuto and its shareholders include the opportunity for SingAuto to become part of a Nasdaq-listed public company, enhanced access to the U.S. public capital markets and liquidity for SingAuto’s shareholders. SingAuto’s existing shareholders will retain a substantial equity interest in the Combined Company and therefore will have the opportunity to participate in the future growth of SingAuto following the Business Combination.
The potential detriments to SingAuto and its shareholders include the significant legal, accounting, compliance and other costs associated with operating as a public company following the Business Combination, the additional demands that public-company reporting and regulatory requirements may impose on SingAuto’s management and personnel, and the risk that such requirements may divert management attention and resources from SingAuto’s business operations. SingAuto and its shareholders will also be subject to the risks associated with the trading and market value of PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination.
BPAC’s Unaffiliated Shareholders. BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders may elect to redeem their BPAC Class A ordinary shares for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account or, if they do not redeem, retain an equity interest in the Combined Company and participate in any potential future appreciation in the value of PubCo ordinary shares. BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders who elect not to redeem their shares will, however, experience substantial dilution in connection with the Business Combination. Assuming no redemptions, BPAC’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 5.2% of the Combined Company following the Business Combination, while the Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares and private placement shares are expected to own approximately 1.3% and SingAuto’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 93.5%. Assuming maximum redemptions, BPAC’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 0.8% of the Combined Company, while such Sponsor and other holders are expected to own approximately 1.4% and SingAuto’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 97.8%. As a result, non-redeeming public shareholders will have a significantly smaller ownership and voting interest in the Combined Company than their current ownership interest in BPAC. See “Dilution” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
Non-redeeming public shareholders will also bear the risks associated with an investment in SingAuto and the Combined Company, including the possibility that the market price of PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination will be less than the amount they would have received upon redemption. Public shareholders who elect to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account but will not participate in any future appreciation in the value of the Combined Company following the Business Combination.
Related Financing. Other than the Convertible Note, BPAC has not engaged in any material financing transactions since its IPO, and no additional material financing transactions are currently expected in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Business Combination is not currently expected to result in additional dilution to BPAC’s unaffiliated shareholders from any PIPE or other related financing transaction. The Sponsor has agreed to loan BPAC up to $190,000 pursuant to the Convertible Note, and has the right, but not the obligation, to convert outstanding amounts thereunder into Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, as further described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
After considering the foregoing benefits and detriments, together with the other factors described above, the BPAC Board determined that, on balance, the potential benefits of the Business Combination outweighed the potential detriments and supported the BPAC Board’s determination that the Business Combination was advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, BPAC and its shareholders.

Appraisal Rights
BPAC shareholders have appraisal rights in connection with the Reincorporation Merger but do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination. There are no appraisal rights with respect to BPAC Rights. See “The Meeting — Appraisal Rights” for more information.
Total Class A ordinary shares Outstanding Upon Consummation of the Business Combination
It is anticipated that, upon the closing of the Business Combination, under the “no redemptions” scenario, BPAC’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 5.2% in the Combined Company, BPAC’s Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares and private placement shares would retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.3% in the Combined Company and the SINGAUTO shareholders would own approximately 93.5% of the Combined Company.
Under the “maximum redemptions” scenario, the BPAC’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 0.8% in the Combined Company, BPAC’s Sponsor, officers, directors and other holders of founder shares would retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the Combined Company and the SINGAUTO shareholders would own approximately 97.8% of the Combined Company.

86
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, PubCo will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of SINGAUTO expecting to have a majority of the voting power of PubCo, SINGAUTO’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of PubCo, the relative size of SINGAUTO compared to PubCo, and SINGAUTO operations comprising the ongoing operations of PubCo. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of SINGAUTO issuing stock for the net assets of PubCo, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PubCo will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to our Existing Charter, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public BPAC Class A ordinary shares. As of [●], this would amount to approximately $[●] per share.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
| (i) | hold public shares; and |
| (ii) | prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026, (a) submit a written request to VStock that BPAC redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to VStock, physically or electronically through DTC’s DWAC. |
If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his, her or its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the Combined Company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for his, her or its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to VStock in accordance with the procedures described herein. Please see “The Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.
Vote Required for Approval
Along with the approval of the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, and approval of the Business Combination Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination will not take place.
Approval of the Business Combination Proposal is also a condition to the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal.
If the Nasdaq Proposal or the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is not approved, the Acquisition Proposal will have no effect (even if approved by the requisite vote of our shareholders at the Meeting of any adjournment or postponement thereof) and the Business Combination will not occur.
The Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only if the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal at the Meeting.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Initial Shareholders holding an aggregate of 197,250 Private Placement Units and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares (or approximately 22.1% of the outstanding BPAC ordinary shares), have agreed to vote their ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. As a result, only 826,833 BPAC Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will need to be present in person, by virtual attendance or by proxy to satisfy the quorum requirement for the Meeting. In addition, as the vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal is a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, assuming only the minimum number of BPAC Class A ordinary shares to constitute a quorum is present, no Class A ordinary shares held by the public shareholders will be required to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal for it to be approved.
Board Recommendation
OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION UNDER PROPOSAL NO. 2.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL
Overview
We are proposing the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b), and (d). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares); or (B) the number of ordinary shares to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding before the issuance of the share or securities. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the ordinary shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, if the number of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) to be issued equals to 20% or more of the ordinary shares, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we will issue to the SINGAUTO shareholders as consideration in the Business Combination 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal — General Description of the Business Combination — Business Combination Consideration.” Because the number of ordinary shares we anticipate issuing as consideration in the Business Combination (1) will constitute more than 20% of our outstanding ordinary shares and more than 20% of outstanding voting power prior to such issuance, and (2) will result in a change of control of BPAC, we are required to obtain shareholder approval of such issuance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (b) and potentially Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).
Effect of Proposal on Current Shareholders
If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, BPAC would issue shares representing more than 20% of our outstanding ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination. The issuance of such shares would result in significant dilution to the BPAC shareholders and would afford such shareholders a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of BPAC. If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, assuming that 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares are issued to the shareholders of SINGAUTO as consideration in the Business Combination, we anticipate that the shareholders of SINGAUTO will hold 97.8% of our outstanding ordinary shares, and the current BPAC shareholders will hold 2.2% of our outstanding ordinary shares immediately following completion of the Business Combination. This percentage assumes that no Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, does not take into account any options to purchase our Class A ordinary shares that will be outstanding following the Business Combination or equity awards that may be issued under our proposed Equity Incentive Plan following the Business Combination.
If the Nasdaq Proposal is not approved and we consummate the Business Combination on its current terms, BPAC would be in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) and (b) and potentially Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), which could result in the delisting of our securities from Nasdaq. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
| ● | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; |
| ● | reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; |
| ● | a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; |
| ● | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the post-transaction company; and |
| ● | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
It is a condition to the obligations of BPAC and SINGAUTO to close the Business Combination that our Class A ordinary shares remain listed on Nasdaq. As a result, if the Nasdaq Proposal is not adopted, the Business Combination may not be completed unless this condition is waived.
Vote Required for Approval
This Proposal No. 3 will be approved and adopted only if the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal at the Meeting.
This Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Reincorporation Merger Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal or the Reincorporation Merger Proposal is not approved, Proposal No. 3 will have no effect even if approved by our shareholders. Because shareholder approval of this Proposal No. 3 is a condition to completion of the Business Combination under the Merger Agreement, if this Proposal No. 3 is not approved by our shareholders, the Business Combination will not occur unless we and SINGAUTO waive the applicable closing condition.
Board Recommendation
OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL UNDER PROPOSAL NO. 3.
88
PROPOSAL NO. 4 — THE ADVISORY GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS
Overview
As required by SEC guidance requiring that shareholders have the opportunity to present their views on important corporate governance provisions, BPAC is requesting that BPAC’s shareholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, proposals to approve certain governance provisions in the Amended PubCo Articles, which are separately being presented. These separate votes are not required by Cayman Islands law. Accordingly, the shareholder votes regarding the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and are not binding on BPAC or BPAC’s board of directors. The adoption of the Amended PubCo Articles will be made by resolution of BPAC as the existing sole member of PubCo prior to, but conditional upon, Closing. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditional on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals.
If the Business Combination is consummated, BPAC’s Existing Charter will effectively be replaced by the Amended PubCo Articles given holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares will, effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination (and assuming such holders do not redeem their BPAC Class A ordinary shares) hold PubCo ordinary shares subject to the Amended PubCo Articles.
The Amended PubCo Articles differ materially from BPAC’s Existing Charter. The following is a non-exhaustive summary of the material differences between BPAC’s Existing Charter and the Amended PubCo Articles. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Amended PubCo Articles, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. We urge all BPAC shareholders to read the Amended PubCo Articles in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. We encourage BPAC shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the “Comparison of Your Rights as a Holder of BPAC’s Class A ordinary shares and Your Rights as a Potential Holder of PubCo ordinary shares” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.
| BPAC’s Existing Charter | The Amended PubCo Articles | |
| Authorized
Shares (Advisory Governance Proposal A) | ||
| BPAC’s share capital is $50,000 divided into two classes of shares as follows: (a) 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each; and (b) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each. | PubCo’s share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value $0.0001 each. | |
| Other Provisions
including Status as a Blank Check Company (Advisory Governance Proposal B) | ||
| BPAC’s Existing Charter contains certain provisions related to BPAC’s status as a blank check company, including those related to the operation of the Trust Account, winding up of BPAC’s operations should BPAC not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in BPAC’s Existing Charter. | PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will not contain certain provisions related to the operation of the Trust Account, winding up of its operations should it not complete a business combination by a specified date as these will no longer be applicable to PubCo upon consummation of the Business Combination but the directors of PubCo will still have the authority and power by a resolution of directors to authorize and create additional classes of shares and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, appertaining to any and all such additional classes of shares, and to amend the memorandum and articles of association of PubCo to give effect to the creation of additional classes of shares. | |
| BPAC’s Existing Charter | The Amended PubCo Articles | |
| Number of
Directors (Advisory Governance Proposal C) | ||
| The minimum number of directors shall be one and there shall be no maximum number of directors. | The minimum number of directors shall be one and there shall be no maximum number of directors unless otherwise fixed by a resolution of directors or resolution of members. The directors shall be elected by a resolution of directors or a resolutions of members. | |
In addition, as SINGAUTO shareholders will receive PubCo ordinary shares in the Acquisition Merger, see “Comparison of Rights of SingAuto Shareholders and PubCo Shareholders Following the Business Combination” for a summary of certain material differences between the rights of SINGAUTO shareholders before the Business Combination and the rights of such shareholders as holders of PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination.
Reasons for the Approvals of the Advisory Governance Proposals
Advisory Governance Proposal A — Authorized Share Capital
The purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized shares structure of PubCo that will enable it to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of ordinary shares sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.
89
Advisory Governance Proposal B — Other Provisions including Status as a Blank Check Company
The SINGAUTO board of directors believes that elimination of certain provisions related to PubCo’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association do not include the requirement to dissolve PubCo upon failure to consummate a business combination in accordance with its terms and allow PubCo to continue as a corporate entity following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in BPAC’s current memorandum and articles require that proceeds from BPAC’s initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of BPAC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Advisory Governance Proposal C — Number of Directors
The proposal is to ensure that PubCo’s board of directors after the consummation of the Business Combination will be suitable for its operations and its status as a publicly traded company in the United States.
Required Vote
The approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of BPAC ordinary shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted “FOR” the Advisory Governance Proposals at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the Advisory Governance Proposals.
As discussed above, the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on BPAC or BPAC’s board of directors. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory votes on the Advisory Governance Proposals, BPAC intends that PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will take effect upon consummation of the Business Combination.
Board Recommendation
THE BPAC BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ADOPTION OF THE ADVISORY GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS NO. 4.

PROPOSAL NO. 5 — THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL
Summary of the Proposal
In connection with the Business Combination, BPAC and SINGAUTO have agreed that PubCo shall adopt the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate number of PubCo ordinary shares equal to 10.0% of the outstanding PubCo ordinary shares as of the Closing, which shares will be reserved and authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan as of the Closing.
The following is a summary of certain terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Incentive Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. You are encouraged to read the entirety of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Summary of the Equity Incentive Plan
In order to attract and retain the best available personnel whose present and potential performance is considered essential to the commercial success of PubCo and its group, PubCo will adopt the Equity Incentive Plan upon the Closing of the Business Combination, which is intended to provide incentives through the grant of awards covering PubCo ordinary shares. A form of the Equity Incentive Plan is filed as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus.
The maximum aggregate number of PubCo ordinary shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the Equity Incentive Plan initially will be equal to 10.0% of the outstanding PubCo ordinary shares as of the Closing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no award has been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.
The following paragraphs describe the principal terms of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Types of awards. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of awards, including dividend equivalents, options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights and other rights or benefits under the plan.
Plan administration. The Equity Incentive Plan shall be administered by the PubCo board or any committee created and appointed by the PubCo board, which determines, among other things, the participants eligible to receive awards, the type or types of awards to be granted to each eligible participant, the number of PubCo ordinary shares covered by each award to be granted to each eligible participant, and the terms and conditions of each award grant.
Award agreement. Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are evidenced by an award agreement that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each award, which may include provisions relating to the term of each award, the timing of the grant of each award, whether awards may be granted on a stand-alone basis or in addition to or in tandem with other awards, and the time period and conditions upon which an award, in whole or in part, will vest.
Eligibility. PubCo may grant awards to service providers, including employees, directors and consultants of PubCo, its subsidiaries and its related entities (collectively, the “Group Members”); provided that awards may not be granted to any consultant or director in any jurisdiction in which grants to non-employees are not permitted under applicable law.
Vesting schedule. In general, the PubCo board or the applicable committee administering the Equity Incentive Plan determines the vesting schedule, which is specified in the relevant award agreement. Vesting may be based on service with a Group Member or any other criteria selected by the administrator, and the administrator may, in its discretion and subject to the terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the vesting of an award.
Exercise of awards. The exercise price per share subject to an option is determined by the PubCo board or the applicable committee administering the Equity Incentive Plan and set forth in the award agreement; provided that, for a U.S. Person, no option may be granted with an exercise price per share that is less than the fair market value and par value of the PubCo ordinary shares on the date of grant, unless the grant complies with Section 409A of the Code or the grantee consents. The base price per share for a share appreciation right will be determined by the administrator by reference to the fair market value of the PubCo ordinary shares and set forth in the applicable award agreement; provided that, for a U.S. Person, the base price may not be less than the fair market value or par value per share on the date of grant.
Transfer restrictions. Except as otherwise permitted in the applicable award agreement and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan, any award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan and any interest therein may not be transferred or assigned by the grantee, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Termination and amendment. Unless terminated earlier, the Equity Incentive Plan has a term of ten years. The PubCo board may terminate, amend or modify the Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the limitations of applicable laws or stock exchange rules. However, any amendment or termination that has a material and adverse effect on the rights of grantees will require their consent.
91
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences under current tax law to PubCo (to the extent it is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its net income) and to participants in the Equity Incentive Plan who are individual citizens or residents of the United States for federal income tax purposes (“U.S. Participants”) of stock options which are incentive stock options (ISO), or stock options which are nonqualified stock options (NSO), unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights (SAR), and dividend equivalent rights. This summary does not purport to cover all of the special rules that may apply, including special rules relating to limitations on our ability to deduct certain compensation, special rules relating to deferred compensation, golden parachutes, U.S. Participants subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or the exercise of a stock option with previously-acquired ordinary shares. This summary assumes that U.S. Participants will hold their ordinary shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. In addition, this summary does not address the foreign, state or local or other tax consequences, or any U.S. federal non-income tax consequences, inherent in the acquisition, ownership, vesting, exercise, termination or disposition of an award under the plan, or ordinary shares issued pursuant thereto. Participants are urged to consult with their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences to them of an award under the plan or ordinary shares issued thereunder pursuant to the Plan.
A U.S. Participant generally does not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a NSO if structured to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A. Upon the exercise of a NSO, the U.S. Participant generally recognizes ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price thereof, and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction for such amount at that time. If the U.S. Participant later sells ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a NSO, the U.S. Participant recognizes a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the period for which the ordinary shares were held. A long-term capital gain is generally subject to more favorable tax treatment than ordinary income or a short-term capital gain. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
A U.S. Participant generally does not recognize taxable income upon the grant or, except for purposes of the U.S. alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) the exercise, of an ISO. For purposes of the AMT, which is payable to the extent it exceeds the U.S. Participant’s regular income tax, upon the exercise of an ISO, the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares subject to the ISO over the exercise price is a preference item for AMT purposes. If the U.S. Participant disposes of the ordinary shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO more than two years after the date of grant and more than one year after the transfer of the ordinary shares to the U.S. Participant, the U.S. Participant generally recognizes a long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction. However, if the U.S. Participant disposes of such ordinary shares prior to the end of either of the required holding periods, the U.S. Participant will have ordinary compensation income equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares) over the exercise price paid for such shares, and the Company generally will be entitled to deduct such amount.
A U.S. Participant generally does not recognize income upon the grant of a SAR. The U.S. Participant recognizes ordinary compensation income upon exercise of the SAR equal to the increase in the value of the underlying shares, and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction for such amount.
A U.S. Participant generally does not recognize income on the receipt of a performance stock award, performance unit award, restricted stock unit award, unrestricted stock award or dividend equivalent rights award until a cash payment or a distribution of ordinary shares is received thereunder. At such time, the U.S. Participant recognizes ordinary compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares or the amount of cash received over any amount paid therefor, and the Company generally will be entitled to deduct such amount at such time.
A U.S. Participant who receives a restricted stock award generally recognizes ordinary compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such ordinary shares at the time the restriction lapses over any amount paid for the ordinary shares. Alternatively, the U.S. Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed on the fair market value of such ordinary shares at the time of grant. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the income that is required to be included by the U.S. Participant.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to (i) the exercise of redemption rights by U.S. Holders (defined below) of BPAC Class A ordinary shares, (ii) the Reincorporation Merger to U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares (excluding any redeemed shares) and BPAC Rights (collectively, the “BPAC securities”), BPAC, PubCo, and SINGAUTO, (iii) the Acquisition Merger to U.S. Holders of SINGAUTO ordinary shares, SINGAUTO, PubCo, and BPAC, and (vi) the subsequent ownership and disposition of PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights (collectively, the “PubCo securities”) received in the Business Combination by U.S. Holders.
This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary, or proposed), administrative rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a holder as a result of the Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger or as a result of the ownership and disposition of PubCo securities. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder, and accordingly, is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws, or except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of BPAC securities or PubCo securities. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances.
No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger or any other matter discussed below; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.
This summary is limited to certain considerations relevant to U.S. Holders that hold BPAC securities or, after the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo securities, as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:
| ● | banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies; |
| ● | taxpayers who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting; |
| ● | real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies; |
| ● | tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; |
| ● | expatriates or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; |
| ● | subchapter S corporations, or investors in such entities; |
| ● | partnerships (including any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or investors in such partnerships; |
| ● | any holder that is not a U.S. Holder; |
| ● | dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies; |
94
| ● | grantor trusts; |
| ● | persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; |
| ● | U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; |
| ● | persons who received BPAC Class A ordinary shares through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation; |
| ● | except to the limited extent specifically discussed below, persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding BPAC Class A ordinary shares or, after the Business Combination, the issued PubCo ordinary shares; |
| ● | holders holding BPAC securities or, after the Business Combination, PubCo securities, as a position in a “straddle,” as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction; |
| ● | controlled foreign corporations, PFICs, or foreign corporations with respect to which there are one or more United States shareholders within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.367(b)-3(b)(1)(ii); or |
| ● | the Sponsor or any of its affiliates. |
As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means, as applicable, a beneficial owner of BPAC securities or, after the Business Combination, PubCo securities received in the Business Combination, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| ● | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| ● | a corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; |
| ● | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
| ● | a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds BPAC securities or, after the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo securities received in the Business Combination, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger, and the subsequent ownership and disposition of PubCo securities received in the Business Combination.
Because the BPAC Units will be separated into their component parts immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, we expect that a beneficial owner of a BPAC Unit generally should be treated as the owner of the underlying component BPAC securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly. the discussion below with respect to BPAC securities should also apply to holders of BPAC Units (as the deemed owner of the underlying component BPAC securities).
THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER OR THE ACQUISITION MERGER. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF BPAC SECURITIES OR, AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, PUBCO SECURITIES MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. HOLDERS OF BPAC SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM, IF ANY, OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO SECURITIES AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares
This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares (which will be exchanged for PubCo ordinary shares in the Reincorporation Merger) that elect to exercise redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination to receive cash in exchange for its BPAC Class A ordinary shares and, because the Reincorporation Merger will occur immediately prior to the redemption of BPAC Class A ordinary shares by U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, is subject in its entirety to the discussion of the Reincorporation Merger and the PFIC rules, as discussed below.
In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its BPAC Class A ordinary shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the U.S. Holder generally will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BPAC Class A ordinary shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the BPAC Class A ordinary shares redeemed exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the BPAC Class A ordinary shares may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holders is currently taxed at a preferential rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of BPAC Class A ordinary shares, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from BPAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BPAC Class A ordinary shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares. Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the BPAC Class A ordinary shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.
Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of BPAC Class A ordinary shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any BPAC Class A ordinary shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning BPAC Rights) relative to all of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of BPAC Class A ordinary shares generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in BPAC or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.
In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only BPAC Class A ordinary shares directly owned by the U.S. Holder, but also BPAC Class A ordinary shares that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include BPAC Class A ordinary shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the BPAC Rights. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, (i) the percentage of BPAC’s outstanding voting stock directly, indirectly, and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of BPAC Class A ordinary shares must be less than 80% of the percentage of BPAC’s outstanding voting stock directly, indirectly, and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption, (ii) the U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of BPAC’s outstanding stock (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption must be less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the U.S. Holder must own (including constructive ownership), immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of BPAC stock entitled to vote. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares directly, indirectly, and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares directly owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other BPAC Class A ordinary shares. The redemption of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in BPAC. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in BPAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.
If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution. After the application of those rules regarding corporate distributions, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed BPAC Class A ordinary shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in other BPAC Class A ordinary shares constructively owned by it. Shareholders who hold different blocks of BPAC Class A ordinary shares (generally, shares of BPAC purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Because the Reincorporation Merger will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to BPAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights, will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the PFIC rules as a result of the Reincorporation Merger (as discussed further below).
All U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of a redemption of all or a portion of their BPAC Class A ordinary shares pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.
96
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders will depend on whether the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code (a “Reorganization”). The parties intend for the Reincorporation Merger to qualify as a Reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a “mere change in identity, form or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” qualifies as a Reorganization. Pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger, BPAC, a Cayman Islands exempted company, will merge with and into Pubco, with Pubco surviving as a Cayman Islands exempted company. Based upon customary assumptions, as well as certain representations made by, and covenants and undertakings of, BPAC, it is the opinion of Loeb & Loeb LLP, legal counsel to BPAC, that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in the tax opinion of Loeb (which is attached as Exhibit 8.2 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part), the Reincorporation Merger should qualify as a Reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. However, the provisions of the Code that govern Reorganizations are complex, and due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a) to a reincorporation of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as BPAC, the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is not entirely clear. Because the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is based on certain facts that will not be known until or following the Closing, and given the legal uncertainties described above, the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization is subject to significant uncertainty. If any of the facts, assumptions, representations, covenants or undertakings by BPAC are incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or are violated, the accuracy of the opinion may be affected and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger could differ from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, BPAC does not intend to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Reincorporation Merger, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to views expressed herein or that a court will not agree with a contrary position of the IRS. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization. Further, the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Reincorporation Merger will qualify as a Reorganization. The remainder of this discussion assumes the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization.
If the Reincorporation Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization
If the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, the Reincorporation Merger will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if BPAC (1) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to PubCo in exchange for all of the outstanding ordinary shares and rights of PubCo and (2) then distributed the PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo Rights to the holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights, as the case may be, in liquidation of BPAC, and the taxable year of BPAC will end on the date of the Reincorporation Merger. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its BPAC securities pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger should not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of BPAC securities for PubCo securities. The aggregate adjusted tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the PubCo securities received as a result of the Reincorporation Merger should equal the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the BPAC securities surrendered in the exchange. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo securities received in the exchange should include the holding period for the BPAC securities surrendered in the exchange.
If the Reincorporation Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization
If the Reincorporation Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. Holder that exchanges its BPAC securities for PubCo securities in the Reincorporation Merger generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the PubCo securities received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BPAC securities exchanged therefor. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the PubCo securities received will be the fair market value of those securities on the date the U.S. Holder receives them. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo securities received pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger will begin on the day after the date the U.S. Holder receives such PubCo securities.
Such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the BPAC securities exceeds one year at the time of the Reincorporation Merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders currently are subject to preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the BPAC Class A ordinary shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirement. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reincorporation Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization and BPAC has been a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a U.S. Holder (and a U.S. Holder of BPAC securities has not made certain elections with respect to its BPAC securities), such U.S. Holder would be subject to tax under the PFIC rules on any gain on the exchange of its BPAC securities for the PubCo securities exchanged therefor, as discussed below, “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.”
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of the exchange of BPAC securities for PubCo securities pursuant to the Business Combination and the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a Reorganization.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to BPAC
If the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, BPAC is not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reincorporation Merger. If the Reincorporation Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization, BPAC generally would be expected to recognize gain or loss on the exchange of its assets in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo securities received pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger and (ii) BPAC’s adjusted tax basis in the exchanged assets, subject to BPAC’s potential utilization of net operating losses, if any, to offset any potential gain.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition Merger to BPAC and U.S. Holders of BPAC Securities
The Acquisition Merger is not expected to result in a material exchange or other disposition of BPAC assets by BPAC, nor is it expected to result in an exchange or other disposition of shares of BPAC by BPAC holders. Accordingly, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, neither BPAC nor any U.S. Holder of BPAC securities that received PubCo securities in connection with the Reincorporation Merger are expected to recognize material gain or loss as a consequence of the Acquisition Merger.
97
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Securities
The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of PubCo securities to U.S. Holders who receive such PubCo securities pursuant to the Business Combination.
Taxation of Distributions
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as a dividend the amount of any distribution paid on PubCo ordinary shares to the extent the distribution is paid out of PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such dividends paid by PubCo will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in PubCo ordinary shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such PubCo ordinary shares as discussed below under the heading “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo securities.”
With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, under tax laws currently in effect and subject to certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), dividends generally will be taxed at the preferential applicable long-term capital gains rate (as discussed below under the heading “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo securities”) provided that PubCo ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, and PubCo is not treated as a PFIC at the time the dividend was paid or in the preceding year and certain holding period and other requirements are met. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that shares listed on Nasdaq (on which PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo ordinary shares) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Even if the PubCo ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the PubCo ordinary shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of such preferential rate for any dividends paid with respect to PubCo ordinary shares.
For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, dividends will generally be treated as passive category income. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of certain foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on PubCo ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes withheld may instead claim a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign taxes. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should therefore consult their tax advisors concerning the application of the foreign tax credit rules under their particular circumstances.
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo securities
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of PubCo securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such PubCo securities. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such PubCo securities exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder is currently eligible to be taxed at preferential rates. The deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Any such gain or loss recognized generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. In the event any non-U.S. tax (including withholding tax) is imposed upon such sale or other disposition, a U.S. Holder’s ability to claim a foreign tax credit for such non-U.S. tax is subject to various limitations and restrictions. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the ability to claim a foreign tax credit.
PFIC Considerations
The treatment of U.S. Holders of the PubCo securities could be materially different from that described above if PubCo is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (for a general discussion of the PFIC rules, see the discussion below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status”).
No assurance can be given as to whether PubCo will be a PFIC in its current taxable year or for any future taxable year, and none of BPAC’s or PubCo’s respective U.S. counsel expresses any opinion with respect to PubCo’s PFIC status for any taxable year.
Under the PFIC rules, if PubCo is a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder owns PubCo ordinary shares, PubCo will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder’s PubCo ordinary shares, unless (i) it ceases to be a PFIC and (ii) the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules. If such election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its PubCo ordinary shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which PubCo is classified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described below. After the deemed sale election, the PubCo ordinary shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless PubCo subsequently becomes a PFIC.
For each taxable year that PubCo is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder’s PubCo securities, the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special and adverse tax rules, as described below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.” U.S. Holders may also be subject to such special and adverse tax rules if PubCo at any time were to own any subsidiaries that are lower-tier PFICs.
As discussed in more detail below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” if PubCo is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of PubCo ordinary shares may be able to mitigate the adverse consequences under the PFIC rules by making a QEF election or a mark-to-market election, if available. Neither a QEF election nor a mark-to-market election may be made with respect to BPAC Rights.
A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file certain forms and information with the IRS (including IRS Form 8621 and any other such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department) as described below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.” Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS and may result in significant penalties.
98
If it is determined that either BPAC or PubCo was a PFIC for any tax year of BPAC or PubCo beginning on or before the date of the Business Combination, and each subsequent tax year of PubCo, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to those U.S. Holders such information that is reasonably available to PubCo and is reasonably necessary for such U.S. Holders to comply with PFIC reporting requirements; provided, that, PubCo provides no assurance of, and makes no representation as to, the accuracy of any such determination or that it will timely provide such required information. PubCo does not otherwise intend to provide information that may be required for U.S. Holders to comply with PFIC reporting requirements.
The rules dealing with PFICs, QEF elections and mark-to-market elections are complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo securities under their particular circumstances.
Effect of PFIC Rules on the Reincorporation Merger
Even if the Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC (including rights to acquire stock of a PFIC, such as the BPAC Rights) must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code, or the “Proposed Regulations”, were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their current form, or if gain recognition under Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective even in the absence of final Treasury Regulations, the Proposed Regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its exchange of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights for PubCo ordinary shares or PubCo Rights, as the case may be, received in the Reincorporation Merger if BPAC were a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights. Therefore, U.S. Holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares that have not made a timely QEF election or mark-to-market election (as described below) and U.S. Holders of BPAC Rights may, pursuant to the Proposed Regulations, be subject to taxation on the Reincorporation Merger to the extent their shares have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis. Any such gain would generally be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Reincorporation Merger and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed below.
It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted, if at all, and further, whether the IRS would take the position that Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective in the absence of final Treasury Regulations. The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF election and “purging election” (or a mark-to-market election) are complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of BPAC Class A ordinary shares or BPAC Rights should consult its tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Status
PFIC Rules, In General
Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if BPAC, PubCo, or any of their subsidiaries, is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which the U.S. Holder holds securities of BPAC or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities. A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year (a) if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the interest by value, is passive income, or (b) if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the non-U.S. corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the interest by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
The determination of whether BPAC, PubCo or any of their subsidiaries is a PFIC is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty. However, subject to certain exceptions described below, once a non-U.S. corporation is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder for a taxable year, even if such non-U.S. corporation ceases to be a PFIC in a subsequent taxable year, such U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules. None of BPAC, PubCo or any of its subsidiaries has provided assurance that it was not a PFIC for any prior taxable year, is not a PFIC for any current taxable year, or will be a PFIC for any subsequent taxable year.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will hold 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of SINGAUTO, which is expected to conduct an active operating business. Under the look-through rules of Section 1297(c) of the Code, PubCo will be treated as directly holding its proportionate share of SINGAUTO’s assets and directly earning its proportionate share of SINGAUTO’s income for purposes of the PFIC income and asset tests. To the extent SINGAUTO’s assets are primarily active assets and its income is primarily active income, PubCo is not expected to be a PFIC under the PFIC income test or asset test for the taxable years following the consummation of the Business Combination.
Whether PubCo will be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the consummation of the Business Combination will generally depend on: (i) the specific closing date of the Business Combination; (ii) the relative values of SINGAUTO’s active assets and PubCo’s remaining cash balance at each applicable quarterly testing date during such taxable year; and (iii) the composition of PubCo’s gross income for such taxable year.
99
If BPAC or, after the Business Combination, PubCo is a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of BPAC securities or PubCo securities, as applicable, and the U.S. Holder did not make a timely and valid QEF election or “mark-to-market” election, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to the special and adverse PFIC tax rules with respect to:
| ● | any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of BPAC securities or PubCo securities (including a redemption treated as a sale or exchange); and |
| ● | any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder, which generally means any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of its BPAC securities or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such securities (potentially including a redemption treated as a corporate distribution). |
Under these rules:
| ● | the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for BPAC securities or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities; |
| ● | the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of BPAC’s, or PubCo’s first taxable year in which BPAC or PubCo, respectively, is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income; |
| ● | the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and |
| ● | the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder. |
QEF Elections
The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of shares in a non-U.S. corporation that is a PFIC will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat the non-U.S. corporation as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its shares during which the non-U.S. corporation qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a purging election. A purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to the purging election subject to the special PFIC tax and interest charge rules described above under the heading “— PFIC Rules, In General.” As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would increase the adjusted tax basis in its shares by the amount of the gain recognized and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, would have a new holding period in its shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.
The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election (and a purging election, if applicable) by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a timely and effective QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election) with respect to a non-U.S. corporation is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by the non-U.S. corporation of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. See below under the heading “— PFIC Reporting Requirements.”
A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective QEF election (or a QEF election with a purging election) generally will not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their shares. As a result, such U.S. Holder generally should not recognize taxable income, gain or loss under the PFIC rules discussed above under the heading “— PFIC Rules, In General,” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the non-U.S. corporation, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed. A QEF election may not be made with respect to BPAC Rights.
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.
Mark-To-Market Elections
The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder will also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code. If a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares and for which BPAC, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above under the heading “— PFIC Rules, In General” in respect to its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares as long as such shares continue to be treated as marketable stock. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year that BPAC, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is treated as a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares over the fair market value of its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously recognized income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares in a taxable year in which PubCo is treated as a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income. Special tax rules may also apply if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for a taxable year after the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) its BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares and for which BPAC or after the Business Combination, PubCo is treated as a PFIC. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to BPAC Rights.
100
The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including Nasdaq (on which BPAC Class A ordinary shares are listed and, after the Business Combination, on which PubCo intends to list the PubCo ordinary shares), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Such stock generally will be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which it is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter; however, no assurances can be given in this regard with respect to the BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect of BPAC Class A ordinary shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.
Lower-Tier PFICs
If BPAC or after the Business Combination, PubCo is a PFIC and, at any time, has a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above under the heading “— PFIC Rules, In General” if BPAC or after the Business Combination, PubCo were to receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of BPAC’s or after the Business Combination, PubCo’s interest in, the lower-tier PFIC (even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions) or the U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. A mark-to-market election generally would not be available with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. In addition, as a result of the lower-tier PFIC rules, if BPAC is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder, BPAC will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder following the Business Combination. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.
PFIC Reporting Requirements
A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made) with such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide any such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.
If it is determined that either BPAC or PubCo was a PFIC for any tax year of BPAC or PubCo beginning on or before the date of the Business Combination, and each subsequent tax year of PubCo, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to those U.S. Holders that held BPAC Class A ordinary shares prior to the Business Combination such information that is reasonably available to PubCo and is reasonably necessary for such U.S. Holders to comply with PFIC reporting requirements, but there is no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. There is also no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a U.S. Holder will have the information necessary to make a QEF election or to comply with PFIC reporting requirements.
The rules dealing with PFICs, QEF elections, and mark-to-market elections are complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. U.S. Holders of BPAC securities or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to BPAC securities or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities under their particular circumstances.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information reporting requirements may apply to cash received in distributions on BPAC securities or PubCo securities, and the proceeds received on sale or other taxable disposition of BPAC securities or PubCo securities effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition Merger to SINGAUTO
SINGAUTO will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax as a consequence of the Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger, or the overall Business Combination. In the Acquisition Merger, Merger Sub merges with and into SINGAUTO, leaving SINGAUTO intact as a surviving entity; consequently, SINGAUTO transfers no properties and recognizes no corporate-level gain or loss under Section 1001, Section 361, Section 368 or Section 351.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition Merger and Business Combination to U.S. Holders of SINGAUTO Ordinary Shares
Characterization of the Acquisition Merger.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Acquisition Merger depend on whether the Acquisition Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The parties intend that the Acquisition Merger qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by reason of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Section 368(a)(1)(A) includes a statutory merger or consolidation within the definition of a reorganization. Section 368(a)(2)(E) provides that a transaction otherwise qualifying as a statutory merger will not be disqualified because stock of the corporation controlling the acquiring corporation is used in the transaction if:
| ● | After the transaction, the surviving corporation holds substantially all of its properties and substantially all of the properties of the merged corporation, other than stock of the controlling corporation distributed in the transaction; and |
| ● | The former shareholders of the surviving corporation exchange, for voting stock of the controlling corporation, stock of the surviving corporation constituting control of that corporation. |
For this purpose, Section 368(c) defines “control” as ownership of at least 80% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and at least 80% of the total number of shares of all other classes of stock. The 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares to be issued in the Acquisition Merger are relevant only in determining whether these ownership and control requirements are satisfied; the number of shares, standing alone, does not establish qualification under Section 368(a)(2)(E).
101
Following the Reincorporation Merger, NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. In the Acquisition Merger, the former SINGAUTO shareholders will exchange their SINGAUTO ordinary shares for newly issued PubCo ordinary shares.
Based on customary assumptions and the facts, representations, covenants and undertakings described in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the tax opinion, it is the opinion of Giancarlo A. Messina of Messina Madrid Law PA, tax counsel to SINGAUTO, that the Acquisition Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by reason of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. This tax disclosure reflects the opinion of Messina Madrid Law PA. A short-form version of that opinion will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part.
That opinion is based, among other things, on the following assumptions and factual conclusions:
| ● | The Acquisition Merger will be effected pursuant to the applicable merger statutes; |
| ● | All of the assets and liabilities of Merger Sub will become assets and liabilities of SINGAUTO at the effective time, except for liabilities satisfied or discharged in the transaction or otherwise permitted under applicable law; |
| ● | Merger Sub will cease its separate legal existence; |
| ● | PubCo will control SINGAUTO immediately after the Acquisition Merger within the meaning of Section 368(c); |
| ● | The former SINGAUTO shareholders will exchange, for PubCo voting stock, an amount of SINGAUTO stock constituting control of SINGAUTO immediately before the Acquisition Merger; |
| ● | SINGAUTO will hold substantially all of its properties and substantially all of the properties of Merger Sub after the Acquisition Merger, other than PubCo stock distributed in the transaction; |
| ● | The continuity-of-interest and continuity-of-business-enterprise requirements will be satisfied; |
| ● | The Acquisition Merger will be undertaken pursuant to a genuine plan of reorganization for reasons germane to the continuation of the business of a party to the reorganization; and |
| ● | The parties will not take, or fail to take, any action that would prevent or impede qualification under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E). |
Statutory-merger regulations generally require the assets and liabilities of each transferor corporate unit to become the assets and liabilities of the transferee corporate unit and the combining entity to cease its separate legal existence. The general requirements applicable to reorganizations, including business purpose, continuity of interest and continuity of business enterprise, must also be satisfied unless a specific statutory or regulatory exception applies. A comparable ruling applied these requirements to a statutory merger and concluded that the transaction qualified under Section 368(a)(1)(A), subject to the stated factual representations.
If any fact, representation, covenant or undertaking described above or in the tax opinion is incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or violated, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Acquisition Merger could differ from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the opinion could be adversely affected or withdrawn. The provisions governing reorganizations are complex, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service or a court will agree with the opinion of Messina Madrid Law PA. The parties do not intend to request a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the qualification of the Acquisition Merger. The closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned on the receipt of an opinion regarding such qualification.
Consequences to U.S. Holders of SINGAUTO Shares
If the Acquisition Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by reason of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code and subject to the rules described below, a U.S. Holder who exchanges SINGAUTO ordinary shares solely for PubCo ordinary shares in a transaction qualifying as a reorganization generally will receive the following treatment:
| ● | No gain or loss recognized. Under Section 354(a), no gain or loss generally will be recognized on the exchange of SINGAUTO ordinary shares solely for PubCo ordinary shares. |
| ● | Basis. Under Section 358(a), the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the PubCo ordinary shares received generally will equal the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the SINGAUTO ordinary shares surrendered, subject to applicable allocation rules. |
| ● | Holding period. Under Section 1223(a), the holding period of the PubCo ordinary shares generally will include the holding period of the SINGAUTO ordinary shares surrendered, provided the SINGAUTO ordinary shares are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
These results assume that the U.S. Holder receives no cash or other property. Cash received instead of a fractional PubCo ordinary share generally will be treated as proceeds from a sale or exchange of the fractional share, with gain or loss recognized under Section
102
Impact of Section 367(a) on SINGAUTO U.S. Holders
Because PubCo is a foreign corporation, Section 367(a) must be considered even if the Acquisition Merger otherwise qualifies as a Section 368 reorganization. Treasury Regulation §1.367(a)-3(d)(1)(ii) treats a U.S. person’s exchange of stock of a corporation for stock of a foreign corporation in connection with a reverse triangular merger described in Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) as an indirect transfer of the acquired corporation’s stock to a foreign corporation.
Generally, a U.S. Holder that owns less than 5% of both the total voting power and total value of PubCo immediately after the Acquisition Merger, and that satisfies the other applicable regulatory requirements, should not be required to recognize gain under Section 367(a)(1) solely as a result of the indirect transfer rules. A U.S. Holder that is a “five-percent transferee shareholder”—generally, a holder owning at least 5% of the voting power or value of PubCo immediately after the transaction—generally must enter into and timely comply with a five-year gain recognition agreement meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.367(a)-8 to preserve nonrecognition treatment. The 5% test measures the holder’s ownership of PubCo immediately after the transaction, not the percentage of SINGAUTO shares exchanged.
If a required gain recognition agreement is not properly filed, or if a later triggering event occurs during the five-year term, the U.S. Holder generally must recognize the gain realized on the applicable indirect stock transfer, together with applicable interest. A gain recognition agreement can also require recognition upon certain direct or indirect dispositions of the transferred corporation’s stock or assets. Section 367(a)(1) is a gain-recognition provision; it does not convert an otherwise nonrecognition transaction into a transaction allowing recognition of a realized loss. Section 367(b) and its regulations may also apply concurrently with Section 367(a) when foreign corporations are involved. The consequences may depend on whether SINGAUTO, PubCo or another relevant corporation is a controlled foreign corporation and whether the U.S. Holder is a Section 1248 shareholder. In some circumstances, Section 367(b) may require a deemed-dividend inclusion or other income inclusion even where Section 367(a) nonrecognition is preserved through a gain recognition agreement.
PFIC Implications for SINGAUTO Shareholders
If SINGAUTO has been a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held SINGAUTO shares, Section 1291(f) and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder may require gain recognition on the exchange of SINGAUTO shares for PubCo ordinary shares, unless an exception applies (such as PubCo also qualifying as a PFIC immediately following the Business Combination, or the U.S. Holder having a valid, timely QEF election in effect). If gain recognition is triggered under the PFIC rules, the gain will be taxed as ordinary income allocated over the holder’s holding period and subject to an interest charge.
Taxable Treatment if Section 368 Does Not Apply to the Acquisition Merger
If the Acquisition Merger fails to qualify under either Section 368(a), the exchange will be treated as a fully taxable sale or exchange under Section 1001. Each U.S. Holder of SINGAUTO shares would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo ordinary shares received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SINGAUTO shares surrendered. Such capital gain or loss would be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period exceeded one year. The tax basis in the PubCo shares received would equal their fair market value on the acquisition date, and the holding period would begin on the following day.
It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted, if at all, and further, whether the IRS would take the position that Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective in the absence of final Treasury Regulations. The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF election and “purging election” (or a mark-to-market election) are complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of SINGAUTO shares or SINGAUTO shares Rights should consult its tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

BPAC’S BUSINESS
Overview
Blueport Acquisition Ltd is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 13, 2025. BPAC was 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 Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
Under BPAC’s Existing Charter, it has until February 13, 2027, which is 15 months from the closing of its IPO (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. If BPAC is unable to complete its initial business combination by February 13, 2027 (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter), it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Offering Proceeds Held in Trust
On November 10, 2025, the registration statement for BPAC’s IPO became effective pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act. On November 13, 2025, BPAC consummated the IPO, which consisted of 5,750,000 Units, including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one BPAC Right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to BPAC of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, BPAC consummated the private placement of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500.
Upon the closing of the IPO, a total of $57,500,000 of proceeds from the IPO and the private placement consummated simultaneously with the closing of the IPO was placed in the Trust Account.
Business Combination Activities
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into the Merger Agreement. As a result of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, SINGAUTO will become wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. In the event that the Business Combination is not consummated by February 13, 2027 (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter), its corporate existence will cease and BPAC will distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to its public shareholders.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to BPAC’s Existing Charter, its shareholders (except the Initial Shareholders) will be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (currently anticipated to be no less than approximately $[●] per share of Class A ordinary shares) net of taxes payable. The Initial Shareholders do not have redemption rights with respect to any Class A ordinary shares owned by them, directly or indirectly. You may not elect to redeem your shares prior to the completion of a business combination.
104
If you are a public shareholder and you seek to have your shares redeemed, you must submit your request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026 (at least two business days before the extraordinary general meeting). The request must be signed by the applicable shareholder in order to validly request redemption. A shareholder is not required to submit a proxy card or vote in order to validly exercise redemption rights. The request must identify the holder of the shares to be redeemed and must be sent to VStock at the following address:
VStock
Transfer, LLC
18 Lafayette Place
Woodmere, NY 11598
E-mail: action@vstocktransfer.com
You must tender the public shares for which you are electing redemption at least two business days before the extraordinary general meeting by either:
| ● | Delivering certificates representing BPAC Class A ordinary shares to VStock, or |
| ● | Delivering the BPAC Class A ordinary shares electronically through the DWAC system. |
Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by VStock at least two business days before the Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock at least two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting.
Public shareholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination and whether or not they are holders of Class A ordinary shares as of the Record Date. Any public shareholder who holds BPAC Class A ordinary shares on or before [●], 2026 (at least two business days before the Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest, less any taxes payable, at the consummation of the Business Combination.
In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to VStock or deliver your shares to VStock electronically using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, in each case, at least two business days before the Meeting.
If you wish to tender through the DWAC system, please contact your broker and request delivery of your shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and VStock will need to act together to facilitate this request. It is BPAC’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from VStock. BPAC does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their Class A ordinary shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
In the event that a shareholder tenders its Class A ordinary shares and decides prior to the consummation of the Business Combination that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. In the event that a shareholder tenders Class A ordinary shares and the Business Combination is not completed, these shares will not be redeemed for cash and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Business Combination will not be consummated. BPAC anticipates that a shareholder who tenders Class A ordinary shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination would receive payment of the redemption price for such Class A ordinary shares soon after the completion of the Business Combination.
If properly demanded by BPAC’s public shareholders, BPAC will redeem each BPAC Class A ordinary share into a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. As of [●], this would amount to approximately $[●] per share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)-(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of BPAC Class A ordinary shares. If too many public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we may not be able to meet certain closing conditions, and as a result, would not be able to proceed with the Business Combination.
105
BPAC’s Existing Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that the Existing Charter provides that BPAC will only consummate an initial business combination if its net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such business combination. As a result, BPAC may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of its public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, have entered into privately-negotiated agreements to sell their shares to BPAC’s sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration BPAC would be required to pay for all public shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to BPAC, BPAC will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and BPAC instead may search for an alternate business combination.
Dissolution and Subsequent Liquidation of Trust Account if No Business Combination
If BPAC does not complete a business combination before February 13, 2027 (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter), it will trigger the automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Accordingly, no vote would be required from BPAC’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. If BPAC is unable to consummate its initial business combination within such time period, it will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of BPAC’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) on the funds held in the Trust Account, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. In the event of its dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless.
The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of our creditors that are in preference to the claims of our public shareholders. Although BPAC will seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, BPAC will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
There is no guarantee that entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. However, our Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. Other than as described above, none of our other officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. We have not independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy his indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. We believe the likelihood of our Sponsor having to indemnify the Trust Account is limited because we will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.
106
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below $10.00 per share and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy any applicable obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. It is possible that BPAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, BPAC cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Class A ordinary share.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, BPAC files a bankruptcy petition or files an insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our public shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or file an insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our public shareholders. Furthermore, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and BPAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our public shareholders.
Each of the Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to participate in any liquidation of the Trust Account or other assets with respect to the founder shares and Private Placement Units they hold.
Facilities
We maintain our principal executive offices at 366 Madison Ave., 9th Floor, New York, NY 10017. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Employees
BPAC has two executive officers. Members of the management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to its matters but they intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs until it has completed its initial business combination. The amount of time that the officers or any other members of the management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for its initial business combination and the current stage of the business combination process. BPAC does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF BPAC
The following discussion and analysis of the BPAC’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
BPAC is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 13, 2025 as an exempted company with limited liability and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. BPAC intends to effectuate an initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of its securities in connection with an initial business combination (including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements it may enter into following the IPO or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing. BPAC is an emerging growth company and, as such, is subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
BPAC has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its initial business combination. BPAC cannot assure you that its plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
The Merger Agreement
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into the Merger Agreement with the Purchaser, Merger Sub and SINGAUTO, to effect a two-step business combination resulting in a new publicly traded holding company. The transaction is structured in two sequential mergers:
Reincorporation Merger: Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser surviving as PubCo. In connection with the Reincorporation Merger, (i) all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Class A ordinary shares, (ii) all issued and outstanding units will be separated automatically into their individual components of Class A ordinary shares and rights and will cease separate existence and trading, (iii) all issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will be converted automatically into PubCo ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, and (iv) each issued and outstanding right will be converted into a right to receive one-sixth of one PubCo ordinary share at closing.
Business Combination: At least one business day after the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the Business Combination, all outstanding equity interests of SINGAUTO will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive merger consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable to SINGAUTO’s shareholders is $1.2 billion, payable entirely in equity, consisting of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances, including failure to obtain required approvals, uncured breaches, legal prohibitions, or failure to execute a required IP cooperation agreement.
Key Related Agreements:
| ● | Company Support Agreement: Certain SINGAUTO shareholders agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and restrict transfers of their SINGAUTO shares until closing or termination. |
108
| ● | Sponsor Support Agreement: The Sponsor and certain of its affiliates agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, waive redemption rights, and not transfer their BPAC shares until closing or termination. |
| ● | Lock-Up Agreements: At closing, the Sponsor and certain significant shareholders (≥5% holders) will be subject to transfer restrictions on their PubCo ordinary shares, lasting 180 days following the closing of the Business Combination, subject to early release upon certain specified stock price thresholds or certain change-of-control events. |
| ● | Registration Rights Agreement: PubCo will enter into a registration rights agreement with certain shareholders of SINGAUTO and BPAC, pursuant to which such shareholders will be provided demand and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. All expenses of registration will be paid by PubCo. |
| ● | IP Cooperation Agreement: SINGAUTO is required to enter into the IP cooperation agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within a specified period. |
Results of Operations
BPAC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. BPAC’s only activities from January 13, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2026 have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the IPO, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. BPAC does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination.
BPAC expects to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. BPAC expects that it will 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, a business combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, BPAC had a net income of $87,581, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $398,044 and related party administrative fees of $30,000, offset by interest income from our investments in Trust Account of $515,625. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, BPAC had a net loss of $37,000, all of which consisted of formation and operating expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, BPAC had a net income of $237,755, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $726,995 and related party administrative fees of $60,000, offset by interest income from our investments in Trust Account of $1,024,750. For the period from January 13, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, BPAC had a net loss of $46,052, all of which consisted of formation and operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 13, 2025, BPAC consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 Units, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 750,000 Units granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to BPAC of $57,500,000. BPAC granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully excised the over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, BPAC consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 197,250 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination.
The Private Placement Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions, as described in the final prospectus for the IPO. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the final prospectus for the IPO) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities.
109
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement on November 13, 2025, a total of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury and held in cash or cash like items (including demand deposit accounts) at a bank.
BPAC intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete its initial business combination. To the extent that BPAC’s share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its initial 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 its growth strategies. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways and could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which BPAC had incurred prior to the completion of the initial business combination or to indemnify any of its officers or directors as required by law if the funds available to it outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of June 30, 2026, BPAC had $29,180 in cash and a working capital deficit of $378,889. BPAC’s liquidity needs prior to the closing of IPO were satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares and a non-interest bearing, unsecured loan of up to $300,000 from the Sponsor, to cover transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO. The loan was fully repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. In May 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $190,000 to pay for various expenses of the Company and for working capital purposes pursuant to a promissory note. The promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable no later than the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $190,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the promissory note.
BPAC intends 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, structure, negotiate and consummate a business combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of BPAC’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan BPAC funds as may be required. If it completes a business combination, BPAC would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, BPAC 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 $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. The terms of such loans by BPAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. BPAC does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as it does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account.
BPAC has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. BPAC currently has until February 13, 2027 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) to consummate the initial business combination. If it does not complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline, BPAC will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with its assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” BPAC has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that BPAC’s plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful within the combination period. BPAC lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statement. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about BPAC’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the business combination or the date it is required to liquidate. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of these uncertainties.
110
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
BPAC has no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. BPAC does 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. BPAC has 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.
Contractual Obligations
BPAC does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than described below.
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, as well as the holders of the Private Placement Units and any shares of BPAC’s insiders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans and extension loans made to BPAC (and any ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the underlying the private placement rights), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the founder shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from trust. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Units and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that BPAC consummates an initial business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. BPAC will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
BPAC granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully excised the over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.50% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $862,500. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 2% of the gross proceeds of the IPO or $1,150,000, upon the completion of BPAC’s initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting discounts held in the trust account in the event BPAC does not consummate a business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (as may be extended pursuant to BPAC’s charter documents (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to BPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association)), and in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the trust account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. BPAC has not identified any critical accounting estimates and critical accounting policies.
BPAC’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on BPAC’s financial statements.
111
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. BPAC adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 and the adoption has no material impact on its financial statements.
BPAC’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on BPAC’s financial statements.
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. BPAC qualifies as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. BPAC is electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, BPAC may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, BPAC is in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” BPAC chooses to rely on such exemptions it may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on its system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404,(ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the IPO or until BPAC is no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

INFORMATION ABOUT SINGAUTO
References in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” “SINGAUTO” or “SingAuto” generally refer to SINGAUTO Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
SingAuto is a green intelligent cold-chain technology company focused on developing refrigerated commercial electric vehicles and related solutions for customers in the cold-chain logistics industry, including transportation and logistics service providers serving food products, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods.
Our current product portfolio consists of two refrigerated commercial electric vehicle platforms: the S1 refrigerated commercial electric vehicle and the V1 refrigerated intelligent commercial electric van. The S1 vehicle is designed for high-volume urban and intercity cold-chain transportation and distribution of frozen, chilled and fresh food products, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods. The V1 vehicle is designed for high-efficiency urban cold-chain logistics applications, particularly smaller-volume, faster-turnover urban delivery scenarios.
We have completed the research, development, prototyping and validation testing of the S1 vehicle, with commercial production and deliveries targeted for the first quarter of 2027. We have also finalized the research, development and prototyping of the V1 vehicle and currently expect to commence its mass production and deliveries in the third quarter of 2027.
Our vehicle platforms integrate refrigeration, temperature-control, connected monitoring and fleet-management capabilities designed for cold-chain logistics applications. In connection with the commercialization of our vehicle platforms, we are developing related support capabilities, including telematics, maintenance support, charging support, leasing solutions and fleet-management services. We have not commenced commercial sales of our vehicles and have not generated revenue from vehicle sales or related services.
We operate through subsidiaries in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. Singapore serves as our global headquarters and regional coordination center, while the United Arab Emirates supports our manufacturing and commercialization initiatives. Our commercialization strategy is based on an asset-light KD/SKD assembly model under which SKD components are sourced from original equipment manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia, and assembled in selected target markets, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have entered into MOUs with 10 potential customers from Asia, Australia and the Middle East and Xinshiya Shanghai has entered into MOUs with 8 potential customers from the PRC and Hong Kong under which we are entitled to a royalty fee for sales, covering approximately 14,000 S1 vehicles in the aggregate. These arrangements are generally non-binding and remain subject to customer requirements, financing arrangements, production schedules, definitive agreements and other customary conditions. In August 2026, Xinshiya Shanghai entered into a definitive agreement with a customer.
In addition to vehicle commercialization, we may pursue opportunities to commercialize certain technologies, including technologies relating to electric powertrain integration, chassis domain controller systems, refrigeration and thermal management, and connected vehicle and fleet-management platforms, through licensing arrangements and strategic cooperation agreements with manufacturing, assembly and distribution partners in selected markets.
Our Strategies
Our objective is to commercialize refrigerated commercial electric vehicle platforms and related services for customers operating in the cold-chain logistics industry. Our growth strategy focuses on an asset-light KD/SKD commercialization model, development of charging, service and fleet support capabilities, flexible commercialization models for customers and partners, commercialization of our vehicle platforms and intellectual property, and expansion through strategic partnerships.
Asset-Light KD/SKD Commercialization Model
Our commercialization strategy is based on an asset-light knock-down, or KD, and semi knock-down, or SKD, assembly model. Under this approach, SKD components are sourced from original equipment manufacturers and assembled in selected target markets, including the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

We expect to continue entering into definitive agreements with customers, with an initial focus on Asia markets.
120
Arrangement with Xinshiya Shanghai
We currently do not intend to directly market or sell vehicles in the PRC market ourselves. Instead, Xinshiya Shanghai is expected to be responsible for commercializing SINGAUTO-branded vehicles in the PRC as our non-exclusive licensed commercial partner pursuant to the Intellectual Property License Agreement described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” and “— Material Intellectual Property Agreements.” Such activities include sales and marketing, manufacturing and supply arrangements, delivery to customers, warranty services and after-sales support. SINGAUTO does not currently directly undertake these activities in the PRC. Under the current arrangement, we are entitled to receive a royalty of 22% of Xinshiya Shanghai’s net sales from our products within the PRC. The Intellectual Property License Agreement is the sole commercial arrangement currently in place between SINGAUTO and Xinshiya Shanghai relating to the commercialization of SINGAUTO-branded vehicles in the PRC, and the 22% royalty is the only compensation SINGAUTO is entitled to receive under that arrangement. Although the license granted to Xinshiya Shanghai is non-exclusive and we retain the right to grant similar licenses to other parties in the PRC or to otherwise exploit our intellectual property in the PRC ourselves, we have no current plans to do so and, accordingly, do not currently expect to compete with Xinshiya Shanghai in the PRC market.
Collaboration with Established Automotive Manufacturers
In certain markets, we may collaborate with established automobile manufacturers and other strategic partners to commercialize our vehicles by leveraging their existing sales, distribution and service networks. Depending on the applicable market and the nature of the arrangement, such partners may assist us with customer acquisition, product introduction, vehicle distribution, after-sales service and other commercialization activities. In particular, established partners may provide access to commercial fleet customers and local sales and service infrastructure that would otherwise require significant time and resources for us to develop independently. We believe this approach may accelerate market entry, broaden our geographic and customer coverage and reduce the time and investment required to establish standalone commercial infrastructure.
Manufacturing
Our manufacturing strategy combines KD assembly operations with third-party manufacturing and supply arrangements. Under this model, SKD components are sourced from original equipment manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia and assembled in selected target markets, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
For initial commercialization, we expect to rely primarily on manufacturing and assembly arrangements with third parties to support cost-effective and timely market entry. In the PRC, we expect to rely primarily on commissioned manufacturing with third-party manufacturers through Xinshiya Shanghai, our licensed commercial partner. Outside the PRC, depending on the market and vehicle configuration, this may involve collaboration with established automotive manufacturers using their existing vehicle platforms, as well as commissioned manufacturing by third parties, as discussed under “— Collaboration with Established Automotive Manufacturers” and “— Third-Party Manufacturing and Supplier Agreements.” Specifically, we are discussing potential arrangements with third-party manufacturers and established automobile manufacturers in Singapore and Malaysia, but have not entered into definitive agreements with partners in those markets. Before our UAE facility becomes operational, third-party arrangements may support initial production and deliveries of certain S1 configurations, but initial V1 mass production is expected to take place at the UAE facility. Once operational, the UAE facility is expected to support mass production of both S1 and V1 vehicles.
Our principal raw materials and components include battery packs and battery cells, semiconductors and electronic components, electric drive systems, chassis and body components, steel, aluminum, copper and other materials used in electric vehicles. We expect SKD components to be sourced from original equipment manufacturers in the PRC and Southeast Asia. For our S1 vehicle, our current manufacturing and assembly arrangement is with a PRC-based automobile manufacturer located in Zhejiang Province, PRC, as further described below under “— Third-Party Manufacturing Agreements.” Under this arrangement, the manufacturer manages its own supply chain for the principal components required for S1 vehicle production, including battery packs, battery cells, semiconductors and other critical electronic components. Certain additional supplier agreements for S1 components remain subject to negotiation and finalization prior to commercial production, and we do not directly source or procure battery packs, battery cells or semiconductors. For a discussion of related risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to SingAuto’s Business and Industry — Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and key components, particularly battery cells or battery packs, could harm our business,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related to SingAuto’s Business and Industry — We are highly dependent on the global supply of semiconductors and other critical electronic components,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to SingAuto’s Business and Industry — Manufacturing in collaboration with partners is subject to risks.”
Our Proposed Manufacturing Facility in the UAE
We currently intend to establish manufacturing operations in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Our UAE project has secured a long-term land use right covering approximately 104,745 square meters within KEZAD, Abu Dhabi, designated for manufacturing and related industrial activities associated with new-energy commercial vehicles. In June 2026, SingAuto BVI, SingAuto UAE and THi Holding Management Corporation, or THi, entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding pursuant to which THi, or a special purpose vehicle to be established by THi, proposes to acquire 100% of SingAuto UAE and undertake the subsequent development, construction and operation of the project land, while SingAuto expects to lease back part of the customized factory buildings for its Abu Dhabi manufacturing operations. In July 2026, SingAuto BVI and THi entered into a separate non-binding memorandum of understanding for the proposed leaseback, and in August 2026, SingAuto Singapore established SINGAUTO Trucks Trading L.L.C in the UAE to lease back part of the customized factory buildings for the operation of SingAuto’s new factory in Abu Dhabi. See “- Properties” for more information.
Development of the planned manufacturing facility remains ongoing. Production readiness is currently targeted for the second half of 2027, subject to developments in the Iran conflict, construction progress, equipment installation, regulatory approvals, supply-chain readiness and other customary factors. Upon completion, the facility is expected to support annual production capacity of up to approximately 40,000 vehicles. The facility is expected to support regional assembly, vehicle deployment and customer delivery activities across target markets.
121
Third-Party Manufacturing and Supplier Agreements
In December 2025, our licensed commercial partner in the PRC, Xinshiya Shanghai, entered into a joint manufacturing cooperation agreement with a PRC-based automobile manufacturer for the commissioned production of our S1 vehicles. SINGAUTO is not a party to this agreement and does not have direct contractual rights or obligations under it. Xinshiya Shanghai is primarily responsible for product planning, technical input, order management and commercialization matters, while the manufacturer is primarily responsible for production preparation, manufacturing, quality control and factory delivery. Xinshiya Shanghai is also responsible for providing production forecasts, coordinating purchase orders and making certain advances or other payments in connection with production. The detailed operational and commercial terms, including specific production quantities, pricing, technical specifications, delivery arrangements, payment timing and project-specific costs, are determined through purchase orders or related order documents issued under the agreement. The agreement became effective upon execution and has a three-year term, unless extended by written agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party breaches the agreement and fails to cure within three months after written notice, and the parties may also terminate by mutual agreement upon certain material corporate changes affecting either party.
In addition, Xinshiya Shanghai has entered into development agreements with five PRC-based suppliers for certain components of our S1 vehicle in October 2025, including the electric drive axle assembly, steering-column dust cover, 12V battery, air-conditioning pipelines and electric vehicle charge controller. SINGAUTO is not a party to these agreements and does not have direct contractual rights or obligations under them. Under these agreements, the suppliers are responsible for developing and delivering the applicable components in accordance with Xinshiya Shanghai’s technical and quality requirements and providing samples for testing and acceptance. The agreements contain generally similar terms relating to development oversight, quality control, testing and acceptance, supplier qualification, milestone-based payments, tooling, intellectual property, confidentiality and remedies for supplier default. The specific quantities, delivery schedules and other commercial terms for batch supply are generally determined through purchase orders or other supplemental arrangements.
With respect to the S1 and V1 vehicles, we may enter into additional manufacturing and supplier agreements from time to time to support their production and commercialization.
Collaboration with Established Automotive Manufacturers
In addition, we may collaborate with established automobile manufacturers to develop and commercialize refrigerated commercial electric vehicles based on their existing vehicle platforms. Such partners may provide vehicle platforms, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, established production processes and related supply-chain resources, while we provide our cold-chain vehicle technologies and application expertise. Depending on the nature of the collaboration, the parties may jointly undertake vehicle adaptation, engineering integration, testing and other development activities to adapt an existing vehicle platform to cold-chain applications and meet the requirements of particular customers or target markets.
We believe this approach may shorten product development cycles, reduce incremental development and manufacturing investment and improve production readiness, although vehicles developed under such collaborations would remain subject to applicable testing, homologation and regulatory requirements. Such collaborations would complement, rather than replace, our existing vehicle development and manufacturing strategy.
Competition
We face intense competition from a variety of players in the commercial automotive sector, including established automakers transitioning to zero-emission platforms, and emerging pure-play electric vehicle, or EV, companies. We generally categorize our primary competitors into the following three groups:
| ● | Established global original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs: Traditional, well-capitalized commercial truck and logistics vehicle manufacturers that are actively pivoting their existing internal combustion engine fleets to battery-electric or hydrogen fuel-cell architectures. |
| ● | Pure-play commercial EV manufacturers: Emerging technology companies and EV startups focused on the design and production of new energy vehicles for the heavy-duty and commercial logistics applications. |
| ● | Regional retrofitted factories: Localized retrofitted factories in our target regional markets that provide low-cost, conventional commercial vehicles or retrofitted EV solutions. |
Health, Safety and Environmental Matters
We incorporate sustainability considerations into product development, supply-chain management and after-sales activities. We evaluate opportunities relating to battery reuse, recycling and lifecycle management, including potential collaborations with battery suppliers and recycling service providers.
We are subject to occupational health and safety laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate and are committed to maintaining a safe working environment and implementing appropriate workplace safety measures. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we are not aware of any material violations, investigations, claims or proceedings relating to health, safety and environmental matters that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Properties
We are currently headquartered in Singapore. We currently do not own any real property. As of the date of this prospectus, we have leased for office and manufacturing purposes the properties set forth in the table below. We lease our premises from unrelated third parties under operating lease agreements. We believe that our existing facilities are generally adequate to meet our current needs, but we may seek additional space as needed to accommodate future growth.

UAE Land Use Right and Leaseback Arrangements
SingAuto UAE holds a long-term land use right for industrial plot No. KHIA9-22_23 in KEZAD, Abu Dhabi, under a Musataha agreement with Abu Dhabi Ports Company PJSC, or ADPC, effective December 31, 2024. The plot covers approximately 104,745.71 sq.m. and is designated for industrial use, including smart automobile manufacturing and the production of electric motors, complete vehicles and parts. The Musataha agreement has a 50-year term, with annual rent of AED2,618,642.75, payable quarterly after an 18-month rent-free period and subject to a 15% increase every five years. SingAuto UAE may request renewal for up to 50 years, subject to no continuing default, applicable law and agreement on renewed rent. Assignment, transfer, charging of the land right or Musataha agreement, and any change of control require ADPC’s prior written consent, subject to limited financing exceptions. SingAuto UAE may terminate on at least six months’ prior written notice if no default is continuing, subject to paying a termination fee equal to two years’ rent and other amounts due. ADPC may terminate upon SingAuto UAE’s default and re-enter and repossess the plot and improvements.
SingAuto BVI, SingAuto UAE, and THi Holding Management Corporation, or THi, entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding on June 23, 2026, pursuant to which THi, or a special purpose vehicle to be established by THi, proposes to acquire 100% of the equity interest in SingAuto UAE from SingAuto BVI, thereby indirectly acquiring SingAuto UAE’s interest in the KEZAD plot, with a base consideration of AED14.5 million, subject to due diligence, agreed conditions precedent, required approvals, and definitive transaction documents. Closing is subject to, among other things, THi’s satisfactory due diligence, ADPC’s written consent to the share transfer, supplemental Musataha documentation, establishment of the new local operating company, required approvals, absence of any penalty or repossession notice for the project land, and definitive transaction documents. Subject to the definitive share transfer agreement, 80% of the consideration is expected to be paid after closing and effectiveness of the supplemental Musataha documentation, with the remaining 20% payable after specified post-closing conditions, including execution of the leaseback agreement. In connection with the transaction, SingAuto Singapore has established a new local operating company in the UAE, SINGAUTO Trucks Trading L.L.C, in August 2026 to lease back part of the customized factory buildings for the operation of our new factory in Abu Dhabi. The proposed arrangement is intended to support our UAE factory launch and regional operations while reducing our capital exposure to land development and industrial park construction. The parties expect to enter into a definitive agreement in the second half of 2026.
124
On July 23, 2026, SingAuto BVI and THi entered into a separate non-binding memorandum of understanding for the proposed leaseback. The leased premises are expected to comprise part of the customized factory buildings to be developed on the KEZAD plot, with a minimum leased area of 11,000 sq.m. and the final area to be set forth in the definitive lease agreement. The lease is expected to commence in or around the second half of 2027, for a term of at least five years, subject to and coterminous with the landlord’s land rights. Unless otherwise agreed in the definitive lease agreement, annual property rent is expected to be AED550 per sq.m. and the annual facility development and management service fee is expected to be AED180 per sq.m., each increasing by 4% annually. The tenant will be responsible for operational licenses, permits and approvals, utilities and end-of-term restoration.
Both MOUs are nonbinding. At the current stage, the parties are continuing to negotiate the terms of the proposed transactions, and those negotiations have taken longer than anticipated. THi has proposed changes to certain terms. Accordingly, the terms may change, and the MOUs reflect only the parties’ current intentions.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to any legal proceeding that, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Corporate History and Structure
SingAuto Cayman is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands in July 2023. SingAuto Cayman is the holding company of our group and does not conduct substantive operations. We conduct our business primarily through our subsidiaries, SingAuto Singapore and SingAuto UAE.
In August 2023, we incorporated our Singapore subsidiary, SingAuto Pte. Ltd., which serves as our global headquarters.
In August 2024, we incorporated our subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, SingAuto Manufacturing L.L.C-S.P.C.
In January 2025, we incorporated our BVI subsidiary, SingAuto KY Limited, which serves as an intermediary holding company.
In September 2025, SingAuto Cayman acquired 100% of equity interest in SingAuto Manufacturing L.L.C-S.P.C. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Mr. Yuqiang Liu beneficially owned approximately 77.7% of the equity interests in SingAuto Cayman and 100% of the equity interests in SingAuto UAE. Accordingly, the acquisition was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control.
Following the acquisition of SingAuto UAE, SingAuto Cayman completed a corporate restructuring and issued additional shares to third-party shareholders. In addition, Mr. Liu transferred a majority of his equity interests to third-party shareholders in March and April 2026. As a result, Mr. Liu ceased to hold a majority equity interest in SingAuto Cayman. Since April 9, 2026 and as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, SingAuto Cayman had 130,108,235 ordinary shares outstanding, of which Mr. Liu beneficially owned 6,550,000 ordinary shares through Green Wheel Group Ltd, representing approximately 5.03% of SingAuto Cayman’s outstanding ordinary shares.
On March 6, 2026, SingAuto Singapore transferred all of its shares in SingAuto Limited (HK) to SingAuto Tech Inc. for a consideration of HKD10,000. Our CEO and chairman, Mr. Yuqiang Liu holds 78.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of SingAuto Tech Inc. As a result, both SingAuto Limited (HK) and its wholly owned subsidiary Xinshiya (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. were spun off from our group, but remained our related parties. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions - Certain Related Party Transactions of SINGAUTO” for more information.
On August 14, 2026, we incorporated another subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, SINGAUTO Trucks Trading L.L.C, to lease back part of the customized factory buildings for the operation of our new factory in Abu Dhabi. See “Information about SINGAUTO - Properties” for more information.
The following diagram illustrates our simplified corporate structure as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Regulations Applicable to SingAuto’s Business
We have identified some of the main laws and regulations that materially affect our operations, including those which relate to certain licences, permits and approvals typically required for the conduct of our business. We set out hereinafter a broad overview of such main laws and regulations.
Regulations Applicable to Our Operations in Singapore
Regulations Relating to Business
Electric Vehicles Charging Act 2022
The Electric Vehicles Charging Act 2022 of Singapore (“EVCA”), which came into operation on 8 December 2023, regulate devices intended for charging electric vehicles and operators of charging stations and providers of charging services for electric vehicles, to expand the network of accessible electric vehicle charging points in Singapore.
Under Section 2 of the EVCA, an “electric vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is (a) propelled wholly or partly by electricity, whether or not designed or adapted to be capable, in at least some circumstances or situations, of safely driving itself; and (b) equipped with a battery. A battery, in relation to an electric vehicle, means a rechargeable energy storage system which can be recharged with electricity externally so as to derive power to propel an electric vehicle equipped with that rechargeable energy storage system.
Section 6(1) of the EVCA sets out that a person commits an offence if the person supplies in Singapore to another (whether in or outside Singapore) for any purpose an EV charger that: (a) is not of a homologated model; and (b) that the person knows or ought reasonably to know is not of a homologated model. Accordingly, it is prohibited to supply an EV charger that is not of a homologated model in Singapore except pursuant to an exemption under the EVCA. Pursuant to Section 6(3)(b), where a person, not being an individual, is guilty of an offence under Section 6(1) of the EVCA, they shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$40,000; but where the person is a repeat offender, to a fine not exceeding S$80,000.
The EVCA also imposes licensing requirements on charging station operators. Alongside the EVCA, the Electric Vehicles Charging (Licensing) Regulations 2023 provides additional details as to the requirements for the grant and renewal of licences to undertake regulated activities under the EVCA.
Road Traffic Act 1961
The Road Traffic Act 1961 of Singapore (“RTA”) governs, inter alia, the registration and licensing of motor vehicles (including electric vehicles) and prescribes construction and use standards in relation to motor vehicles. Section 5(1) of the RTA provides that it is not lawful to use a vehicle or trailer which does not comply with the rules as to construction, weight and equipment applicable to the class or description of vehicles to which the vehicle or trailer belongs. Further, Section 5(4) of the RTA provides that subject to Section 5 of the RTA, it is not lawful to sell, supply, or offer to sell or supply a vehicle for delivery in such a condition that the use thereof in that condition would be unlawful by virtue of Section 5 of the RTA. According to Section 5(6) of the RTA, if a vehicle or trailer is used or is sold, supplied, offered or altered in contravention of Section 5 of the RTA, any person who so uses the vehicle or trailer or causes or permits the vehicle or trailer to be so used or so sells, supplies, offers or alters it or causes or permits it to be so sold, supplied, offered or altered shall be guilty of an offence.
In practice, this means that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) requires car dealers to have every new make and model of vehicle be type approved prior to use on the roads. The first step in this regard is submitting an application for vehicle approval through the Vehicle Inspection and Type Approval System (VITAS). The application must be accompanied by supporting documentation including but not limited to documentation proving that the vehicle is compliance with technical requirements (such as required exhaust emission and noise emission standards). If the LTA grants in-principle approval, the second step is inspection at an LTA authorized inspection center. If successful, the process will end with the LTA granting a Vehicle Approval Code, and only then may registration of the vehicle be proceeded with.
In addition, Section 5(5) of the RTA provides that any person who alters a vehicle (whether in the course of repair or otherwise) such that the use of the vehicle in that condition would be unlawful by virtue of Section 5 of the RTA shall be guilty of an offence. Pursuant to Section 5(7)(b) of the RTA, the applicable punishment for being guilty of the offence under Section 5(5) of the RTA, in the case of a person not being an individual, is a fine not exceeding S$40,000. In the case of a repeat offender, the fine shall not exceed S$80,000.
126
Road Traffic (Autonomous Motor Vehicles) Rules 2017
The Road Traffic (Autonomous Motor Vehicles) Rules 2017 (“RT(AMV)R”) sets out the rules applicable to the trial or use of autonomous motor vehicles.
Rule 4(1) and Rule 4(2) of the RT(AMV)R together set out that a person must not undertake any trial of automated vehicle technology, or any autonomous motor vehicle, or use on a road an autonomous motor vehicle unless the person has an authorization under rule 7(1)(a) of the RT(AMV)R. In order to obtain such authorization, the relevant application must be made to the LTA. As the case may be, the following must be submitted: (a) the specified details under Rule 5 of the RT(AMV)R relating to the application to undertake a trial of automated vehicle technology or autonomous motor vehicle; (b) or Rule 6 of the RT(AMV)R relating to an application to carry out use of an autonomous motor vehicle.
Pursuant to Rule 4(4) of the RT(AMV)R, any person who contravenes Rule 4(1) or Rule 4(2) of the RT(AMV)R shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding $5,000.
Further, pursuant to Rule 14(1) of the RT(AMV)R, the specified person, being the person authorized under Rule 7(1)(a) of the RT(AMV)R to undertake the approve trial or approved special use (as the case may be), must before the approved trial or approved special use starts, have in place public liability insurance and ensure that the liability insurance is in force at all times for the duration stated in the authorization for the approved trial or approved special use, including for the duration that the authorization is extended under Rule 12 of the RT(AMV)R. Pursuant to Rule 14(3) of the RT(AMV)R, a specified person who contravenes Rule 14(1) of the RT(AMV)R shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $1,000 and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding $2,000.
Environmental Protection and Management Act 1999
The Environmental Protection and Management Act 1999 of Singapore (“EPMA”) consolidates the laws on environmental pollution control, to provide for the protection and management of the environment and resource conservation, and for purposes connected therewith. It regulates, among other things, air, water and land pollution, as well as noise control.
At the same time, the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations prescribe vehicular emissions standards for licensed motor vehicles (including goods vehicles and public service vehicles) used on Singapore roads.
Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003 of Singapore (“CPFTA”), inter alia, protects consumers against unfair practices and gives consumers additional rights in respect of goods that do not conform to contract.
By way of summary, Section 4 of the CPFTA defines “unfair practice” to include: (a) speech, conduct or omission that might reasonably deceive or mislead a consumer; (b) making false claims; (c) taking advantage of a consumer if the supplier knows or ought reasonably to know that the consumer—(i) is not in a position to protect his or her own interests, or (ii) is not reasonably able to understand the character, nature, language or effect of the transaction or any matter related to the transaction; or (d) without limitation to the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), to do anything specified in the Second Schedule of the CPFTA. A consumer who has entered a consumer transaction involving an unfair practice may commence an action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the supplier pursuant to Section 6(1) of the CPFTA.
For the avoidance of doubt, Singapore does not require dealership authorization to market vehicles.
127
Section 35 of the CPFTA renders void any contractual term inconsistent with the CPFTA to the extent of the inconsistency—any waiver or release given of any right, benefit or protection conferred under the CPFTA is void. Accordingly, retailers cannot exclude any right, benefit or protection conferred under the CPFTA by selling goods “as is” or “as seen”.
Common Law: Product liability
Singapore does not have a standalone product liability statute imposing strict liability on manufacturers. Product liability claims are pursued under the common law tort of negligence. The applicable duty of care test was established in Spandeck Engineering (S) Pte Ltd v Defence Science & Technology Agency [2007] 4 SLR(R) 100 comprising an examination as to the following issues: (a) whether the threshold requirement of factual foreseeability of damage is met; and (b) a two-stage inquiry as to — (i) whether there is sufficient legal proximity to give rise to a prima facie duty of care (considering various factors including without limitation the defendant’s assumption of responsibility and the plaintiff’s reliance); and (ii) whether public policy considerations apply to negate the prima facie legal duty of care (the “Spandeck Test”).
If a duty of care is found pursuant to the Spandeck Test, the defendant would be held to the standard of care that a reasonable man would have undertaken in the circumstances. In professional settings, the standard of care is that of the ordinary skilled man exercising and professing to have that special skill. Relevant variables that are taken into consideration in determining the standard of care include without limitation: the likelihood, seriousness, and costs of avoiding harm, and applicable industry standards. If the defendant’s actions were to be considered by the court to fall below the applicable standard of care, the defendant would be considered to have breached their duty of care.
Accordingly, where a defective product causes personal injury or property damage, the manufacturer or distributor may be liable for negligence.
Regulations Relating to Intellectual Property
Patents Act 1994
The Patents Act 1994 of Singapore (“Patents Act”) establishes the law of patents. Under Section 13(1) of the Patents Act, subject to Section 13(2) of the Patents Act, an invention is patentable if it: (a) is new; (b) involves an inventive step; and (c) is capable of industrial application.
Pursuant to Section 66(1) of the Patents Act, a person infringes a patent for an invention if, but only if, while the patent is in force, the person does any of the following things in Singapore in relation to the invention without the consent of the proprietor of the patent: (a) where the invention is a product, the person makes, disposes of, offers to dispose of, uses or imports the product or keeps it whether for disposal or otherwise; (b) where the invention is a process, the person uses the process or the person offers it for use in Singapore when the person knows, or it is obvious to a reasonable person in the circumstances, that its use without the consent of the proprietor would be an infringement of the patent; (c) where the invention is a process, the person disposes of, offers to dispose of, uses or imports any product obtained directly by means of that process or keeps any such product whether for disposal or otherwise.
Under Section 36(1) of the Patents Act, a patent is treated, for the purposes of the Patents Act, as having been granted, and takes effect, on the date of issue of the certificate of grant and, subject to Section 36(2) and Section 36A of the Patents Act, continues in force until the end of the period of 20 years beginning with the date of filing the application for the patent or with such other date as may be prescribed.
128
Trade Marks Act 1998
The Trade Marks Act 1998 of Singapore (“TMA”) establishes the law for trade marks. Pursuant to Section 2 of the TMA, “trade mark” means any sign capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing goods or services dealt with or provided in the course of trade by a person from goods or services so dealt with or provided by any other person. Under Section 26(1) of the TMA, registration of a trade mark confers on the proprietor the exclusive right to use the trade mark and to authorize other persons to use the trade mark, in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered.
Under Section 27(1) of the TMA, a person infringes a registered trade mark if, without the consent of the proprietor of the trade mark, the person uses in the course of trade a sign which is identical with the trade mark in relation to goods or services which are identical with those for which it is registered. Under Section 27(2), infringement also occurs where because:
(a) the sign is identical with the trade mark and is used in relation to goods or services similar to those for which the trade mark is registered; or
(b) the sign is similar to the trade mark and is used in relation to goods or services identical with or similar to those for which the trade mark is registered, there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public.
Trade mark registrations are initially valid for 10 years from the date of registration and may be renewed according to the specified process for further periods of 10 years (Section 18 of the TMA).
Copyright Act 2021
The Copyright Act 2021 of Singapore (“Copyright Act”) governs the law of copyright. Protected subject matter under the Copyright Act includes, inter alia, authorial works—comprising literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works—as well as published editions of authorial works, sound recordings, films and broadcasts (Section 8 read with Section 9 of the Copyright Act). Copyright protection over the subject matter arises upon the fulfilment of the conditions specified for each subject matter. Utilizing unpublished authorial works as an example, Section 109(1) of the Copyright Act sets out that copyright subsists in unpublished authorial works if the work is original, and one of the following applies: (i) the author is a qualified individual when the work is made; (ii) if the work is made over a period—the author is a qualified individual for a substantial part of that period; or (iii) the work is made — (A) by or under the direction or control of the Government; or (B) on or after 10 April 1987 by or under the direction or control of a prescribed international organization.
Copyright protection encompasses the exclusive right to prevent others from doing an act (or authorizing the doing of that act) without the authorization of the copyright owner, which is not a positive right of the copyright owner to do that act (Section 108 of the Copyright Act). The specified actions which a copyright owner may exclude others from carrying out differs based on the type of protected subject matter. For instance, in relation to literary, dramatic and musical works, copyright owners have the exclusive right to, inter alia, make a copy of the work, publish the work, perform the work in public and communicate the work to the public (Section 112 of the Copyright Act).
Likewise, the duration for which copyright subsists depends upon the subject matter. Where an authorial work is first published within 50 years after the end of the year in which the work is made, any copyright in the work expires: (a) if the author is identified within 70 years after the end of the year in which the work is first published — 70 years after the end of the year in which the author dies; and (b) if not — 70 years after the end of the year in which the work is first published (Section 114 of the Copyright Act).
Regulations Relating to Workplace Safety

Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990
The employment of foreign workers in Singapore is governed by the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990 of Singapore (“EFMA”).
130
Under Section 5(1) of the EFMA, no person shall employ a foreign employee unless the foreign employee has obtained a valid work pass from the Ministry of Manpower under Section 7 of the EFMA and in accordance with the Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations 2012 (“EFMR”). A work pass includes, inter alia, the following: (a) employment pass, for foreign professionals, managers, executives and technicians who earn at least S$5,600 a month and pass the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS), (b) S pass, for skilled workers who earn at least S$3,300 per month; and (c) work permit, for skilled and semi-skilled migrant workers in the construction, manufacturing, marine shipyard, process or services sector.
Any person who contravenes Section 5(1) of the EFMA shall be guilty of an offence pursuant to Section 5(6) of the EFMA, and shall: (a) be liable on conviction to a fine not less than S$5,000 and not more than S$30,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both; and (b) on a second or subsequent conviction (i) in the case of an individual, be punished with a fine of not less than S$10,000 and not more than S$30,000 and with imprisonment for a term of not less than 1 month and not more than 12 months; or (ii) in any other case, be punished with a fine of at least S$20,000 and not more than S$60,000.
Further, the number of work permits and S passes that can be issued is subject to each sector’s dependency ratio ceiling (“DRC”). For instance, under the services sector, the DRC is set at 35% where the total number of Work Permit and S Pass holders employed by a services company cannot exceed 35% of its total workforce. In addition, certain sub-quotas apply, including but not limited to the sub-quota as to the number of Work Permit holders from the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”). The number of PRC Work Permit holders an employer may employ is capped at 8% of a company’s total workforce in the services sector and 25% of a company’s total workforce in the manufacturing sector. An employer of foreign workers is also subject to, inter alia, the EA and the Immigration Act 1959 of Singapore.
Additionally, the EFMR requires employers of work permit holders who are not domestic workers, to, inter alia: (a) bear the costs of medical treatment (unless in excess of the minimum mandatory coverage in certain instances); (b) provide safe working conditions and take such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of the foreign employee; (c) provide acceptable accommodation consistent with any law or governmental regulations; and (d) purchase and maintain medical insurance for day surgery and in-patient care, and related out-patient treatment, services and items with coverage of at least S$60,000 (for policies with start date effective on or after 1 July 2023) per every 12-month period (or for such shorter period where the foreign employee’s period of employment is less than 12 months).
Work Injury Compensation Act 2019
The Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 (“WICA”) is administered by the Ministry of Manpower and ensures that employees and platform workers receive compensation for work injuries in a fair and expeditious manner by providing for the efficient operation of work injury compensation processes and related insurance arrangements and the timely and effective resolution of disputes concerning such compensation (Section 5 of the WICA). Under Section 3(1) of the WICA, employees are defined as individuals who have entered into or work under a contract of service with an employer, including every employee of the Government in a class or description declared by the President to be employees for the purposes of the WICA, but excludes any class of individuals specified in the Third Schedule to the WICA, being: (1) domestic workers, being individuals employed in or in connection with the domestic services of any private premises, (2) any member of the Singapore Armed Forces, and (3) any officer of the Singapore Police Force, the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the Central Narcotics Bureau or the Singapore Prisons Service.
Pursuant to Section 24(1) of the WICA, every employer must insure and maintain insurance under one or more approved employee insurance policies with one or more designated employer’s insurers against all liabilities that the employer may incur under the WICA in respect of every employee of the employer. Notably, pursuant to Section 24(2)(a) of the WICA, Section 24(1) of the WICA does not apply to specified classes of employees—the Second Schedule to the Work Injury Compensation (Insurance) Regulations 2020 sets out that such excluded classes of employees include, inter alia, any employee who is employed otherwise than by way of manual labour, and whose salary exceeds S$2,600 a month (excluding any overtime payment, bonus payment, annual wage supplement, productivity incentive payment and any allowance). Further, Section 24(2)(b) of the WICA states that Section 24(1) of the WICA applies subject to any minimum prescribed amount for which an employer must be insured in respect of any of the employer’s liabilities under the WICA.
According to Section 25(1)(a) of the WICA, an employer who contravenes Section 24(1) of the WICA shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$10,000 or imprisonment to a term not exceeding 12 months or to both. Section 25(1)(b) of the WICA sets out that an employer who contravenes Section 24(1) of the WICA and is a repeat offender (as defined under Section 25(2) of the WICA) shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$20,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.
Regulations Relating to Data Protection
Personal Data Protection Act 2012
The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (“PDPA”) governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal data by organizations in a manner that recognizes both the right of individuals to protect their personal data and the need of organizations to collect, use or disclose personal data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances (Section 3 of the PDPA). Under Section 2 of the PDPA, personal data is defined as data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified from that data, or from that data and other information to which the organization has or is likely to have access.
As a broad overview, the PDPA requires organizations to notify individuals of the purpose for and obtain individuals’ prior consent in relation to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal data, and to provide individuals with the right to access and correct their own personal data. Further, organizations have mandatory obligations to assess data breaches they suffer, and to notify the Personal Data Protection Commission (“PDPC”) of a data breach where the data is (or is likely to be) of a significant scale or results in (or is likely to result in) significant harm to individuals. Other obligations include accountability, protection, retention, and requirements around overseas transfers of or in relation to personal data.
Additionally, prior to sending marketing messages addressed to Singapore telephone numbers, organizations must check “Do-Not-Call” registries, unless clear and unambiguous consent to such marketing had been given by the individual, and the consent was given in writing or in such other form as to be accessible for subsequent reference.
131
An organization is required to comply with, inter alia, the following obligations under the PDPA:
| (a) | obtain the consent of the individual before collecting, using or disclosing his personal data, save in situations required and authorized under the PDPA; | |
| (b) | may collect, use or disclose personal data about an individual only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances and, if applicable, have been notified to the individual concerned; | |
| (c) | notify the individual of the purpose(s) for which it intends to collect, use or disclose the individual’s personal data on or before such collection, use or disclosure of the personal data; | |
| (d) | upon request, (i) provide an individual with his or her personal data in the possession or under the control of the organization and information about the ways in which the personal data may have been used or disclosed during the past year; and (ii) correct an error or omission in an individual’s personal data that is in the possession or under the control of the organization; | |
| (e) | make a reasonable effort to ensure that personal data collected by or on behalf of the organization is accurate and complete if the personal data is likely to be used by the organization to make a decision that affects the individual to whom the personal data relates or disclosed by the organization to another organization; | |
| (f) | protect personal data in its possession or under its control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks; | |
| (g) | cease to retain documents containing personal data, or remove the means by which the personal data can be associated with particular individuals as soon as it is reasonable to assume that (i) the purpose for which the personal data was collected is no longer being served by retention of the personal data; and (ii) retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes; | |
| (h) | not transfer personal data to a country or territory outside Singapore except in accordance with the requirements prescribed under the PDPA; and | |
| (i) | develop and implement the necessary policies and practices in order to meet its obligations under the PDPA and make information about its policies and practices available on request. |
The PDPC may impose financial penalties for certain failures to comply with the PDPA. For instance, organizations that have intentionally or negligently contravened any provision of Part 3, 4, 5, 6, 6A or 6B of the PDPA may be liable for a financial penalty of (i) up to S$1 million or (ii) in the case of a contravention on or after the 1 October 2022 by an organization whose annual turnover in Singapore exceeds S$10 million — 10% of the annual turnover in Singapore of the organization.
Regulations relating to Taxation
Dividend Distributions
Singapore adopted the one-tier corporate tax system beginning on January 1, 2003. Under the one-tier corporate tax system, the tax paid by a Singapore resident company on its corporate profits is a final tax. Dividends payable by the Singapore resident company to its shareholders are exempt from Singapore income tax in the hands of the shareholders.
There is no withholding tax on the dividend payments to both resident and non-resident shareholders.
Foreign shareholders receiving tax exempt (one-tier) dividends are advised to consult their tax advisors to take into account the tax laws of their respective countries of residence and the applicability of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have with Singapore.
Corporate Income Tax
Corporate taxpayers (both resident and non-resident) are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore (i.e. Singapore-sourced) and income received in Singapore from outside Singapore (i.e. foreign-sourced income received or deemed received in Singapore) unless specifically exempt from income tax.
Foreign-sourced income is deemed to be received in Singapore when it is income derived from outside Singapore and:
| (a) | remitted to, transmitted or brought into Singapore; |
| (b) | used to pay off any debt incurred in respect of a trade or business carried on in Singapore; or |
| (c) | used to purchase any movable property brought into Singapore. |
The prevailing corporate income tax rate in Singapore is 17.0%, which applies to both local and foreign companies. With effect from the year of assessment 2020, all companies, including companies limited by guarantee, are eligible for partial tax exemption, unless they are claiming the tax exemption for new start-up companies. The tax exemptions for qualifying companies are as follows: 75% exemption on the first S$10,000 of normal chargeable income; and a further 50% exemption on the next S$190,000 of normal chargeable income, making the maximum exemption for each year of assessment as S$102,500 (S$7,500 + S$95,000). The remaining chargeable income that exceeds S$200,000 will be fully taxable at the prevailing corporate tax rate.
A company is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of its business is exercised in Singapore. Control and management are defined as the making of decisions on strategic matters, such as those concerning the company’s policy and strategy. Generally, the location of the company’s board of directors meetings where strategic decisions are made determines where the control and management are exercised. However, under certain scenarios, holding board meetings in Singapore may not be sufficient and other factors will be considered to determine if the control and management of the business is indeed exercised in Singapore. The place of incorporation of a company is not necessarily indicative of the tax residency of a company.

We are a pre-revenue company and have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future as we advance our products toward commercialization, build out our manufacturing footprint and incur the additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Our ability to fund our operations and execute our business plan beyond the near term will depend on our ability to obtain additional financing, which may include proceeds from the proposed business combination, equity or debt financings, related-party funding, strategic cooperation and licensing arrangements, and other sources. Additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, scale back or discontinue certain of our development and commercialization activities.
145
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with continued financial support from our Chairman, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the next 12 months from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. We will, however, require substantial additional capital to complete the build-out of our manufacturing capacity, commence commercial production and deliveries and otherwise execute our long-term business plan.

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,743,449 for the year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7,549,438 for the year ended March 31, 2025. For the year ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss of $9,250,589, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation of property and equipment of $304,336, amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets of $791,874, foreign exchange gain of $253,325 and was partially offset by favourable changes in operating assets and liabilities, including a $1,327,175 increase in amounts due to related parties, a $643,079 increase in operating lease liabilities, a $630,880 decrease in prepayments, a $2,770,407 decrease in amounts due from related parties and a $293,068 increase in accrued liabilities and other payables.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss of $7,177,076, adjusted for amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets of $448,743, a $680,502 increase in prepayments and a $770,614 increase in deposits and was partially offset by a favourable $712,226 increase in accrued liabilities and other payables.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $2,671 for the year ended March 31, 2026, mainly consisting of advances to a related-party of $2,931. Besides, for the year ended March 31, 2026, we acquired demonstration motor vehicles for $1,279,705 through a net-settlement of receivables from a related party which was a non-cash investing and financing activity and is therefore excluded from investing cash flows. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,639,733 for the year ended March 31, 2025, consisting of purchases of property and equipment of $206,489 and a net collection of advancement to related parties of $1,846,222.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,831,537 for the year ended March 31, 2026, consisting of proceeds from related parties advances of $4,547,524, partially offset by repayments of advances from related parties of $1,450,538 and deferred merger costs paid of $265,449. Net cash provided by financing activities was $50,528,864 for the year ended March 31, 2025, consisting principally of proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares of $45,200,746 and proceeds from related parties advances of $5,414,248.
146
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures have historically been modest, reflecting our asset-light operating model and pre-revenue stage. We expect our capital expenditures to increase in future periods in connection with the build-out of our planned KD assembly facility in KEZAD, Abu Dhabi, the establishment of demonstration and after-sales capabilities and the preparation for commercial production. We intend to fund these expenditures through a combination of existing cash, proceeds from the proposed business combination, related-party support, strategic cooperation arrangements (including the proposed arrangement with THi in respect of the UAE project) and additional external financing. The timing and amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the pace of our commercialization, the structure of our UAE project and prevailing market conditions.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal contractual obligations relate to our operating leases, the most significant of which is the 50-year land use right over our KEZAD plot in Abu Dhabi. As of March 31, 2026, our total operating lease liabilities were $14,554,687 (current portion of $573,259 and non-current portion of $13,981,428). The following table summarizes the undiscounted future minimum lease payments under our operating leases as of March 31, 2026:
| Year ending March 31, (US$) | Operating Lease Payments | |||
| 2027 | 609,594 | |||
| 2028 | 713,041 | |||
| 2029 | 713,041 | |||
| 2030 | 739,780 | |||
| 2031 | 819,997 | |||
| Thereafter | 67,796,707 | |||
| Total lease payments | 71,391,160 | |||
| Less: imputed interest | (56,836,473 | ) | ||
| Present value of lease liabilities | 14,554,687 | |||
In addition to our lease obligations, we had amounts due to related parties of $17,134,902 as of March 31, 2026, which are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. We had no other material contractual obligations or purchase commitments as of March 31, 2026.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates and Judgments
Our significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances; actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Management has determined that there are no critical accounting estimates with respect to the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may be applicable to us, including ASU 2023-09, ASU 2024-03 (as clarified by ASU 2025-01), ASU 2025-05, ASU 2025-06 and ASU 2025-10, and our assessment of their expected impact, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which permits us to delay adoption of certain accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
147
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign currency risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, while our operating subsidiaries transact principally in SGD and AED. We are therefore exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risk arising from movements in these currencies against the U.S. dollar. For the year ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $700,681 in other comprehensive loss, compared to a gain of $11,497 for the year ended March 31, 2025. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exposure.
Interest rate risk
We are not subject to material interest rate risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in bank accounts, and our related-party advances are non-interest bearing. We did not have any interest-bearing debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Credit risk and concentration
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, which are held with large financial institutions in the Cayman Islands, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates that we believe are of high credit quality. We are also exposed to supplier concentration; For the year ended March 31, 2026, there were 2 vendors accounted for 10% or more of our total purchase. Total purchase from vendor A and vendor B accounted for 42.9% and 14.9% of our total purchase for the year ended March 31, 2026, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2025, there were 2 vendors accounted for 10% or more of our total purchase. Total purchase from vendor C and vendor D accounted for 30.9% and 26.9% of our total purchase for the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date. We continue to monitor the potential impact of inflation on our cost structure as we move toward commercialization.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
Upon completion of the proposed business combination, we expect to qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We may also qualify as a “smaller reporting company.” We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of the applicable dates specified in the JOBS Act.
Internal Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. Such conclusion was due to the existence of a material weakness in IT general controls regarding change management, IT operations for our financial systems and cybersecurity.
To remediate our identified material weakness, we intend to implement measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including hiring experienced IT staff to formalize and strengthen key internal controls over information technology general controls.
The process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 present the combined financial information of BPAC and SINGAUTO after giving effect to the Business Combination and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. BPAC and SINGAUTO are collectively referred to herein as the “Companies,” and the Companies, subsequent to the Business Combination, are referred to herein as “New SINGAUTO”.
The historical statement of operations of BPAC used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2026 was derived by adding the results from the unaudited combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 to the results from the audited combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and removing the results from the unaudited combined statement of operations for the period from January 13, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it was completed on March 31, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to reflect transaction accounting and autonomous entity adjustments to present the results of operations as if New SINGAUTO were an independent and separate standalone entity.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with:
| ● | the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information; |
| ● | the audited historical financial statements of BPAC as of December 31, 2025, and for the period from January 13, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, and the related notes thereto, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; |
| ● | the unaudited historical financial statements of BPAC as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes thereto, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; |
| ● | the unaudited historical financial statements of BPAC as of June 30, 2025, and for the period from January 13, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, and the related notes thereto, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; |
| ● | the audited historical consolidated financial statements of SINGAUTO as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, and the related notes thereto, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and |
| ● | other information related to BPAC and SINGAUTO contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the disclosures contained in the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of BPAC” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of SINGAUTO.” |
Description of the Business Combination
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with (i) NeoCryo Inc, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (the “Purchaser”), (ii) NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (“Merger Sub”), and (iii) SINGAUTO, to effect a two-step business combination resulting in a new publicly traded holding company (“PubCo”). The transaction is structured in two sequential mergers:
| ● | Reincorporation Merger: Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser surviving as PubCo (the “Reincorporation Merger”). In connection with the Reincorporation Merger, (i) all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Class A ordinary shares, (ii) all issued and outstanding units will be separated automatically into their individual components of Class A ordinary shares and rights and will cease separate existence and trading, (iii) all issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will be converted automatically into PubCo ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, and (iv) each issued and outstanding right will be converted into a right to receive one-sixth of one PubCo ordinary share at closing. |
149
| ● | Business Combination: At least one business day after the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the Business Combination, all outstanding equity interests of SINGAUTO will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive merger consideration. |
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable to SINGAUTO’s shareholders is $1.2 billion, payable entirely in equity, consisting of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances, including failure to obtain required approvals, uncured breaches, legal prohibitions, or failure to execute a required IP cooperation agreement.
Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on SINGAUTO’s shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, SINGAUTO comprising the ongoing operations after the merger, SINGAUTO’s senior management comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and SINGAUTO nominating a majority of the members of the board of directors pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of SINGAUTO issuing share for the net assets of BPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations after to the Business Combination will be those of SINGAUTO.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
As noted above, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein assumes that BPAC’s shareholders approve the proposed Business Combination. BPAC cannot predict how many of the public shareholders will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash. As a result, BPAC and SINGAUTO have elected to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under five different redemption scenarios, which produce different allocations of the New SINGAUTO equity among the Public Holders, the Sponsors and the SINGAUTO shareholders, and result in different amounts of shareholders’ equity and per share amounts of net income (loss). The actual results will likely be within the parameters described by the five scenarios, however, there can be no assurance as to which scenario will be closest to the actual result.
The five different redemption scenarios are as follows:
| (i) | Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public shareholder exercises redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the trust account. |
| (ii) | Assuming 25% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that public shareholders holding 1,437,500 public shares will exercise their redemption rights for approximately $14.7 million of funds in the trust account. This redemption scenario assumes for illustrative purposes that there will be approximately $44.1 million left in the trust account. |
| (iii) | Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that public shareholders holding 2,875,000 public shares will exercise their redemption rights for approximately $29.4 million of funds in the trust account. This redemption scenario assumes for illustrative purposes that there will be approximately $29.4 million left in the trust account. |
| (iv) | Assuming 75% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that public shareholders holding 4,312,500 public shares will exercise their redemption rights for approximately $44.1 million of funds in the trust account. This redemption scenario assumes for illustrative purposes that there will be approximately $14.7 million left in the trust account. |
| (v) | Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that all public shareholders holding 5,750,000 public shares will exercise their redemption rights for approximately $58.8 million of funds in the trust account. The maximum scenario assumes for illustrative purposes that there will be no funds left in the trust account. |
The pro forma shares issued and outstanding of New SINGAUTO immediately after the Business Combination under the five redemption scenarios are as set forth in the table below.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 requires pro forma adjustments that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows optional pro forma adjustments that present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Under each of the scenarios of no redemption, the 25% redemption, the 50% redemption, the 75% redemption and the maximum redemption, the Business Combination transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, BPAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination transaction will be treated as the equivalent of SINGAUTO issuing stock for the net assets of BPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with these accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with the following:
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2026.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on April 1, 2025, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that BPAC believes are reasonably under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. BPAC believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations and financial position of the combined company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of BPAC and SINGAUTO.

DESCRIPTION OF BPAC’S SECURITIES
General
Pursuant to BPAC’s Existing Charter, conditionally adopted by special resolution passed on August 15, 2025 and effective immediately prior to the listing of our securities on Nasdaq on November 12, 2025, BPAC’s authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into two classes of shares as follows: (i) 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each and (ii) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each. As of the Record Date, 5,947,250 BPAC Class A ordinary shares and 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. BPAC’s Existing Charter contains certain provisions related to BPAC’s status as a blank check company, including provisions relating to the operation of the trust account, the winding up of BPAC if it does not complete a business combination by the applicable deadline, and other provisions specific to BPAC’s status as a blank check company. The minimum number of directors is one and there is no maximum number of directors.
Units
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination.
Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon completion of our initial business combination. We will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Any fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share. As a result, a holder must hold rights in multiples of six upon closing of a business combination.
Ordinary Shares
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as otherwise required by law or the Existing Charter. Prior to the closing of an initial business combination, holders of Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right to appoint and remove directors by ordinary resolution, and holders of Class A ordinary shares are not entitled to vote on the appointment or removal of directors during that time. Subject to the terms of the Existing Charter, the rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied only with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of that class. Unless otherwise specified in the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the Existing Charter or applicable stock exchange rules, matters submitted to shareholders are approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present and entitled to vote thereon. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. Shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds lawfully available therefor.
Because our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize the issuance of up to 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, if we were to enter into a business combination, we may (depending on the terms of such a business combination) be required to increase the number of ordinary shares which we are authorized to issue at the same time as our shareholders vote on the business combination to the extent we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination.
If we seek shareholder approval, we will consummate our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. BPAC Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into BPAC Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution right, share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustments as provided herein and in BPAC’s Existing Charter. In connection with any vote held to approve our initial business combination, BPAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares.
156
We will provide our Class A public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described in the initial public offering prospectus. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares.
Pursuant to our Existing Charter, if we do not consummate our initial business combination by February 13, 2027 (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our insiders have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering. However, if our Sponsor acquires public shares after the IPO through open market purchases, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time period.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BPAC after a business combination, our shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. Our shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that we will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to certain limitations as described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Each holder of a right will receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of our initial business combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all Class A ordinary shares held by it in connection with the initial business combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Merger Agreement provides for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Class A ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into Class A ordinary share basis, and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive the one-sixth (1/6) share underlying each right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the business combination.
If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and we liquidate the funds held in the trust account, holders of rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from our assets held outside of the trust account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
As soon as practicable upon the consummation of our initial business combination, we will direct registered holders of the rights to return their rights to our rights agent. Upon receipt of the rights, the rights agent will issue to the registered holder of such rights the number of full Class A ordinary shares to which it is entitled. We will notify registered holders of the rights to deliver their rights to the rights agent promptly upon consummation of such business combination and have been informed by the rights agent that the process of exchanging their rights for Class A ordinary shares should take no more than a matter of days. The foregoing exchange of rights is solely ministerial in nature and is not intended to provide us with any means of avoiding our obligation to issue the shares underlying the rights upon consummation of our initial business combination. Other than confirming that the rights delivered by a registered holder are valid, we will have no ability to avoid delivery of the shares underlying the rights. Nevertheless, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial business combination.
The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of ours). We will not issue fractional shares upon conversion of the rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law. As a result, you must hold rights in multiples of six in order to receive shares for all of your rights upon closing of a business combination. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and we liquidate the funds held in the trust account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from our assets held outside of the trust account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO’S SHARE CAPITAL
In this section, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company” and “us” refer to PubCo following the Business Combination.
A summary of the description of PubCo’s share capital and material provisions of the Amended PubCo Articles immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination is described below. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the Amended PubCo Articles, a copy of which is appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. PubCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and immediately following consummation of the Business Combination, its affairs will be governed by the Amended PubCo Articles, as amended from time to time, the Cayman Companies Act, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.
Ordinary Shares
Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Unless the board of directors determine otherwise, each holder of our ordinary shares will not receive a certificate in respect of such ordinary shares. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares. We may not issue shares or warrants to bearer.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of par value US$0.0001 each. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is one (1) share issued and outstanding.
Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and our Amended PubCo Articles regarding redemption and purchase of the shares, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot, with or without confirming rights of renunciation, grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.
Dividends
Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and any rights attaching to any class or classes of shares under and in accordance with the Amended PubCo Articles:
| ● | the directors may pay interim dividends or recommend final dividends in accordance with the respective rights of our shareholders if it appears to them that they are justified by the financial position of us and that such dividends may lawfully be paid; and |
| ● | our shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, declare dividends but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. |
Subject to the requirements of the Cayman Companies Act regarding the application of a company’s share premium account and with the sanction of an ordinary resolution, dividends may also be declared and paid out of any share premium account. The directors when paying dividends to shareholders may make such payment either in cash or in specie. Unless provided by the rights attached to a share, no dividend shall bear interest.
Voting Rights
A resolution put to the vote of our general meeting shall be decided on a poll. Subject to any rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any shares, unless any share carries special voting rights, on a poll, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. In addition, all shareholders holding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of shares. Votes may be given either personally or by proxy.
158
Variation of Rights of Shares
Whenever our capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attaching to any class of share, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, may be varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the holders of shares of the class present in person or by proxy at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of that class. For purposes of a separate class meeting, the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding, or representing by proxy, not less than one-third of the issued shares of the class.
Unless the terms on which a class of shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the shareholder holding shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with the existing shares of that class. The rights conferred on the shareholder holding shares of any class shall also not be deemed to be varied by our consolidation and division of only one class of shares, without consolidating or dividing any other class of shares.
Alteration of Share Capital
Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, our shareholders may, by ordinary resolution:
| ● | increase our share capital by new shares of the amount fixed by that ordinary resolution and with the attached rights, priorities and privileges set out in that ordinary resolution; |
| ● | consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing shares; |
| ● | convert all or any of our paid-up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination; |
| ● | sub-divide our shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed, so, however, that in the sub-division, the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and |
| ● | cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of that ordinary resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled or, in the case of shares without nominal par value, diminish the number of shares into which our capital is divided. |
Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and to any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, our shareholders may, by special resolution, reduce its share capital in any way.
Calls on Shares and Forfeiture
Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls on the shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares including any premium and each shareholder shall, subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made, pay to us the amount called on his shares. Shareholders registered as the joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the share. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or if no rate is fixed, at the rate of ten percent per annum. The directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.
We have a first and paramount lien on all shares, whether fully paid up or not, registered in the name of a shareholder, whether solely or jointly with others. The lien is for all monies payable to us by the shareholder or the shareholder’s estate:
| ● | either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a shareholder; and |
| ● | whether or not those monies are presently payable. |
At any time the directors may declare any share to be wholly or partly exempt from the lien on shares provisions of the Amended PubCo Articles. We may sell, in such manner as the directors may determine, any share on which the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, if due notice that such sum is payable has been given as prescribed by the Amended PubCo Articles and, within 14 clear days of the date on which the notice is deemed to be given under the Amended PubCo Articles, such notice has not been complied with.
159
Unclaimed Dividend
A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by us.
Forfeiture or Surrender of Shares
If a shareholder fails to pay any capital call, the directors may give to such shareholder not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment and specifying the amount unpaid including any interest which may have accrued, any expenses which have been incurred by us due to that person’s default and the place where payment is to be made. The notice shall also contain a warning that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited. If such notice is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share the subject of that notice be forfeited, which forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before such forfeiture. The board may determine that any share the subject of that notice be accepted by us as surrendered by the shareholder holding that share in lieu of forfeiture.
A forfeited or surrendered share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit. A person whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture or surrender, remain liable to pay to us all monies which at the date of forfeiture or surrender were payable by him to us in respect of the shares, together with all expenses and interest from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment, but his liability shall cease if and when we receive payment in full of the unpaid amount. A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a director or the secretary shall be conclusive evidence that the person making the declaration is our director or secretary and that the particular shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.
Share Premium Account
The directors shall establish a share premium account and shall carry the credit of such account from time to time to a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share or capital contributed or such other amounts required by the Cayman Companies Act.
Redemption and Purchase of Own Shares
Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, we may by action of our directors:
| ● | issue shares that are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed, at our option or the shareholder holding those redeemable shares, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares; |
| ● | with the consent by special resolution of the shareholders holding shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at our option on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation; and |
| ● | purchase all or any of our own shares of any class including any redeemable shares on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such purchase. |
We may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by the Cayman Companies Act, including out of any combination of capital, our profits and the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares. When making a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of shares, the directors may make the payment in cash or in specie, or partly in one and partly in the other, if so authorized by the terms of the allotment of those shares or by the terms applying to those shares, or otherwise by agreement with the shareholder holding those shares.
Transfer of Shares
Subject to any applicable requirements set forth in the Amended PubCo Articles and provided that a transfer of ordinary shares complies with applicable rules of the designated stock exchange, a shareholder may transfer ordinary shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a common form or in a form prescribed by the designated stock exchange or in any other form approved by the directors, executed:
| ● | where the ordinary shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and |
160
| ● | where the ordinary shares are partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee. |
The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of an ordinary share until the name of the transferee is entered into our register of members.
Where the ordinary shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of the designated stock exchange, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share that has not been fully paid up or is subject to a company lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of such ordinary share unless:
| ● | the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate, if any, for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; |
| ● | the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares; |
| ● | the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required; |
| ● | the ordinary share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us; |
| ● | any fee related to the transfer has been paid to us; and |
| ● | the transfer is not to more than four joint holders. |
If our directors refuse to register a transfer, they are required, within one month after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.
The registration of transfers may, on 14 clear days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and our register of members closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine. The registration of transfers, however, may not be suspended, and the register may not be closed, for more than 30 clear days in any year.
Inspection of Books and Records
Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under the Cayman Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records, except for the memorandum and articles of association of our company, any special resolutions passed by our company and the register of mortgages and charges of our company. Under the Amended PubCo Articles, no shareholder, other than a director, shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of our company except as conferred by the Cayman Companies Act or as authorized by the directors or by ordinary resolution.
General Meetings
As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Cayman Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; accordingly, we may, but shall not unless required by the applicable rules of the designated stock exchange be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our board of directors. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.
161
The directors may convene general meetings whenever they think fit. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who together hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the Amended PubCo Articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 clear days from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting or any of them may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days, in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us. In addition, if there are insufficient directors to constitute a quorum and the remaining directors are unable to agree on the appointment of additional directors, any one or more shareholders who together hold at least five percent of the rights to vote at a general meeting may call a general meeting for the purpose of considering the business specified in the notice of meeting, which shall include as an item of business the appointment of additional directors.
At least five clear days’ notice of a general meeting shall be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of that business. In addition, if a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, the text of that resolution shall be given to all shareholders. Notice of every general meeting shall also be given to the directors and our auditors.
Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least 90 percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at a general meeting, a general meeting may be convened on shorter notice.
A quorum shall consist of the presence, whether in person or represented by proxy, of one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the votes attached to the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting. If, within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days or to such other time or place as is determined by the directors. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, then the shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for more than seven clear days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the Amended PubCo Articles.
At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll. A poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.
Directors
A director may be appointed by ordinary resolution or by the directors. Any appointment may be to fill a vacancy or as an additional director. Unless the remuneration of the directors is determined by the shareholders by ordinary resolution, the directors shall be entitled to such remuneration as the directors may determine. The shareholding qualification for directors may be fixed by our shareholders by ordinary resolution and unless and until so fixed no share qualification shall be required.
A director may be removed by ordinary resolution. A director may at any time resign from office by giving us notice in writing or, if permitted pursuant to the notice provisions, in an electronic record. Unless the notice specifies a different date, the director shall be deemed to have resigned on the date that the notice is delivered to us.
Subject to the provisions of the Amended PubCo Articles, the office of a director may be terminated forthwith if:
| ● | he is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director; |
| ● | he is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; |
| ● | he resigns his office by notice to us; |
| ● | he only held office as a director for a fixed term and such term expires; |
| ● | in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director; |
| ● | he is given notice by the majority of the other directors, not being less than two in number, to vacate office, without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such director; |
| ● | he is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise; or |
| ● | without the prior consent from the chairman of the board, or, if no chairman is appointed, the chairman of such meetings of directors, he is absent from three consecutive meetings of directors without any reasonable explanation. |
162
Powers and Duties of Directors
Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and the Amended PubCo Articles, our business shall be managed by the directors, who may exercise all our powers. No prior act of the directors shall be invalidated by any subsequent alteration of our memorandum or articles. To the extent allowed by the Cayman Companies Act, however, shareholders may by special resolution validate any prior or future act of the directors which would otherwise be in breach of their duties.
The directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more persons who need not be shareholders and may include non-directors so long as the majority of those persons are directors. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the directors.
For so long as any class of our shares are listed on a designated stock exchange, the board of directors shall, if required by the rules of the designated stock exchange, establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The board of directors may establish any local or divisional board of directors or agency and delegate to it its powers and authorities, with power to sub-delegate, for managing any of our affairs whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere and may appoint any persons to be members of a local or divisional board of directors, or to be managers or agents, and may fix their remuneration.
The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, either generally or in respect of any specific matter, to be our agent with or without authority for that person to delegate all or any of that person’s powers.
The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the directors, to be our attorney or our authorized signatory and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit. The powers, authorities and discretions, however, must not exceed those vested in, or exercisable, by the directors under the Amended PubCo Articles. The board of directors may remove any person so appointed and may revoke or vary the delegation.
The directors may exercise all of our powers to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets both present and future and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of ours or our parent undertaking, if any, or any subsidiary undertaking of us or of any third party.
A general notice by any director to the effect that he is a member, shareholder, director, partner, officer or employee of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction with that company or firm, shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect to a contract or transaction in which he has an interest. After such notice, subject to the applicable listing rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein. If he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered.
Capitalization of Profits
The directors may resolve to capitalize:
| ● | any part of our profits not required for paying any preferential dividend, whether or not those profits are available for distribution; or |
| ● | any sum standing to the credit of our share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any. |
The amount resolved to be capitalized must be appropriated to the shareholders who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions.
163
Liquidation Rights
If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the Amended PubCo Articles and any other sanction required by the Cayman Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following:
| ● | to divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of our assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and |
| ● | to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up. |
No shareholder shall be compelled to accept any assets if an obligation attaches to them. The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.
Register of Members
Under the Cayman Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:
| ● | the names and addresses of our shareholders, and, a statement of the shares held by each shareholder, which: |
| ● | distinguishes each share by its number, so long as the share has a number; |
| ● | confirms the amount paid, or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each shareholder; |
| ● | confirms the number and category of shares held by each shareholder; and |
| ● | confirms whether each relevant category of shares held by a shareholder carries voting rights under the Amended PubCo Articles, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional; |
| ● | the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a shareholder; and |
| ● | the date on which any person ceased to be a shareholder. |
Under the Cayman Companies Act, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein, meaning that the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted, and a shareholder registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of the Cayman Companies Act to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Following consummation of the Business Combination, our register of members will be updated to record and give effect to the issuance of shares by us pursuant to the Business Combination. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.
If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a shareholder of our company, the person or shareholder aggrieved, or any shareholder of our company or our company itself, may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.
Amendment of Memorandum and Articles
Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, we may by special resolution change our name or amend the provisions of our memorandum of association with respect to our objects, powers or any other matter specified in the memorandum of association. Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and as provided in the Amended PubCo Articles, we may by special resolution amend the Amended PubCo Articles in whole or in part.

COMPARISON
OF YOUR RIGHTS AS A HOLDER OF BPAC’S CLass A ordinary SHARES AND
YOUR RIGHTS AS A POTENTIAL HOLDER OF PubCo ordinary shareS
The rights of the shareholders of BPAC and the relative powers of the BPAC board of directors are governed by Cayman Islands laws and BPAC’s Existing Charter. As a result of the Merger Agreement, each BPAC Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding (other than dissenting shares) shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, one PubCo ordinary share. Each PubCo ordinary share will be issued in accordance with, and subject to the rights and obligations of, the Amended PubCo Articles, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B. Because PubCo will be, at the Effective Time, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the rights of the shareholders of PubCo will then be governed by Cayman Islands law and the Amended PubCo Articles.
Many of the principal attributes of the PubCo ordinary shares and BPAC Class A ordinary shares will be similar. However, there are differences between BPAC’s Existing Charter and the Amended PubCo Articles.
The following is a summary of comparison of the material differences between the rights of BPAC shareholders under BPAC’s Existing Charter, and the rights of PubCo shareholders under the Amended PubCo Articles. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the United States federal securities laws or Nasdaq listing requirements or of PubCo or BPAC’s governance or other policies.
The statements in this section are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Amended PubCo Articles, BPAC’s Existing Charter and applicable Cayman Islands law.
| PubCo | BPAC | |||
| Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock | PubCo’s share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value $0.0001 each. | BPAC’s share capital is $50,000 divided into two classes of shares as follows: (a) 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each and (b) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each. | ||
| Meeting of Shareholders | The board of directors of PubCo (the “PubCo Board”), by resolution of directors, may convene meetings of the members of PubCo at such times and in such manner as the PubCo Board considers necessary or desirable. The PubCo Board may, whenever it thinks fit, call general meetings, and they shall on a shareholders’ requisition by members entitled to exercise at least ten percent of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is being requested, forthwith proceed to convene a general meeting of PubCo. | The directors may call a general meeting at any time. The directors must also call a general meeting if requisitioned in writing by one or more shareholders who together hold at least 10% of the rights to vote at such general meeting, in accordance with BPAC’s Existing Charter. To the extent required by Nasdaq, an annual general meeting of BPAC shall be held no later than one year after the first financial year end occurring after the IPO, and in each year thereafter at such time as determined by the directors. | ||
| Quorum | A meeting of members is properly constituted if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by proxy not less than one-third of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting. If, within fifteen minutes from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days hence, or to such other time and place as the PubCo Board may determine, and if a quorum is not present at the meeting within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, then the shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be represented by only one person, then such person may resolve any matter and a certificate signed by such person accompanied, where such person be a proxy, by a copy of the proxy form, shall constitute a valid resolution of members. |
No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. A quorum consists of one or more shareholders who together hold not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to attend and vote at the meeting and who are present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by its duly authorized representative). |
165
| Notice of Meetings | A director shall be given reasonable notice of a PubCo Board meeting, but a PubCo Board meeting held without reasonable notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose, the presence of a director at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part (except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business on the grounds that the meeting is not properly called). The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting. | At least five days’ notice of a general meeting must be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote thereat, subject to the provisions of BPAC’s Existing Charter regarding shorter notice and waiver. | ||
| The PubCo Board convening a meeting of members shall give not less than five clear days’ written notice of such meeting to: (a) those members whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in the share register of members of PubCo and are entitled to vote at the meeting.

The inadvertent failure of the PubCo Board to give notice of a meeting to a member, or the fact that a member has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting. | ||||
| Charter Amendments | Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act, PubCo may, by special resolution, amend its memorandum and articles of association in whole or in part. | Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act and BPAC’s Existing Charter, BPAC may amend its memorandum and articles of association by special resolution of shareholders.

Prior to the closing of a business combination, holders of BPAC Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right, by ordinary resolution, to appoint and remove directors, and holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares have no right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors during that period. |
166
| Removal of Directors | A director may be removed by ordinary resolution of PubCo or a majority of the other directors (not being less than two in number). | Following the closing of a Business Combination, directors may be appointed by ordinary resolution of shareholders, and the directors may also appoint a person to fill a vacancy or as an additional director in accordance with BPAC’s Existing Charter.

| Board Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships | The PubCo Board may appoint one or more directors to fill a vacancy on the PubCo Board. | A vacancy in relation to directors occurs if a director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office. | ||
| After the closing of a business combination, the directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. Where the directors appoint a person as director to fill a vacancy, the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a director ceased to hold office. | ||||
| Directors’ Interests | A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by PubCo, disclose the interest to the PubCo Board, unless the transaction or proposed transaction (a) is between the director and PubCo and (b) is to be entered into in the ordinary course of PubCo’s business and on usual terms and conditions. A disclosure is not made to the PubCo Board unless it is made or brought to the attention of every director on the PubCo Board. A director who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by PubCo may vote on a matter relating to the transaction, attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum and sign a document on behalf of PubCo, or do any other thing in his capacity as director that relates to the transaction. |
Pursuant to BPAC’s Existing Charter, a director who has disclosed the nature and extent of any material interest in a transaction or arrangement may vote on the matter, be counted in the quorum, attend meetings at which the matter is considered, and otherwise act in his or her capacity as a director in relation to that transaction or arrangement, and, subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act and BPAC’s Existing Charter, such transaction or arrangement will not be liable to be avoided solely by reason of such interest. | ||

Accordingly, the PubCo Board is empowered to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations on behalf of PubCo. | The directors of BPAC may by resolution of directors exercise all the powers of BPAC to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of BPAC or of any third party, provided always that if the same occurs prior to the consummation of a business combination, BPAC must first obtain from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in its trust account. |
167
| Right to Dividends | Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Amended PubCo Articles, the PubCo Board may, by resolution of directors, authorize dividends to members at such time and of such an amount as it thinks fit if it is satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the dividends, PubCo will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act, PubCo may also by ordinary resolution authorize dividends but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. |
Subject to BPAC’s Existing Charter, the directors may, by resolution of directors, authorize a distribution at a time and of an amount they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the distribution, the value of BPAC’s assets will exceed its liabilities and BPAC will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. Dividends may be paid in money, shares, or other property. BPAC may, by resolution of directors, from time to time pay to the shareholders such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of BPAC, provided always that they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the distribution, the value of BPAC’s assets will exceed its liabilities and BPAC will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. Notice in writing of any dividend that may have been declared shall be given to each shareholder. Any dividend that remains unclaimed for six years after it became due for payment may be forfeited to BPAC. No dividend shall bear interest as against BPAC. | ||
| Rights of ordinary shares | Save and except expressly provided in the Memorandum, Holders of ordinary shares shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, and shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the Members. Each ordinary share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at a meeting of the members or on any resolution of members of PubCo. | Subject to BPAC’s Existing Charter, holders of BPAC Class A ordinary shares and BPAC Class B ordinary shares vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote on matters submitted to shareholders, except that prior to the closing of a Business Combination, holders of BPAC Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right to appoint and remove directors. | ||

Comparison of Rights of SINGAUTO Shareholders and PubCo Shareholders Following the Business Combination
The following table summarizes certain material differences between the rights of SINGAUTO shareholders before the Business Combination and the rights of such shareholders as holders of PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination. Before the Business Combination, the rights of SINGAUTO shareholders are governed by SINGAUTO’s memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law. Following the Acquisition Merger, SINGAUTO shareholders who receive PubCo ordinary shares will no longer hold direct equity interests in SingAuto and will instead hold PubCo ordinary shares, with their rights governed by the Amended PubCo Articles and Cayman Islands law.
| PubCo | SINGAUTO | |||
| Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock | PubCo’s share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value $0.0001 each. | SINGAUTO’s share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of $0.0001 each. | ||
| Meeting of Shareholders | The board of directors of PubCo (the “PubCo Board”), by resolution of directors, may convene meetings of the members of PubCo at such times and in such manner as the PubCo Board considers necessary or desirable. The PubCo Board may, whenever it thinks fit, call general meetings, and they shall on a shareholders' requisition by members entitled to exercise at least ten percent of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is being requested, forthwith proceed to convene a general meeting of PubCo. | The directors of SINGAUTO, whenever they consider necessary or desirable, may convene meetings of the members of SINGAUTO. The directors shall convene a meeting of members upon the written requisition of any members entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting of SINGAUTO who hold not less than 10% of the paid up voting share capital of SINGAUTO in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested. | ||
| Quorum | A meeting of members is properly constituted if at the commencement of the meeting there are present one or more shareholder in person or by proxy holding not less than one-third of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting. If, within fifteen minutes from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days hence, or to such other time and place as the PubCo Board may determine, and if a quorum is not present at the meeting within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, then the shareholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. | No business shall be transacted at any general meeting of SINGAUTO unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum consists of one or more members present in person or by proxy holding at least a majority of the paid up voting share capital of SINGAUTO. If SINGAUTO has only one member, that only member present in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for all purposes. | ||
| Notice of Meetings | The PubCo Board convening a meeting of members shall give not less than five clear days' written notice of such meeting to members entitled to vote at the meeting. A meeting of members held in contravention of the notice requirement is valid if members holding at least ninety percent majority of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting, and the inadvertent failure of the PubCo Board to give notice of a meeting to a member, or the fact that a member has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting. | At least seven days' notice specifying the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in case of special business, the general nature of that business, shall be given to persons entitled to receive notices from SINGAUTO. A meeting of members held in contravention of the notice requirement shall be deemed to have been validly held if all members entitled to receive notice of such meeting and attend and vote thereat consent to shorter notice or no notice. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by, any member shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting. | ||
| Size of Board, Election of Directors | The maximum number of directors may be fixed by an ordinary resolution of members. Unless fixed by an ordinary resolution, the maximum number of directors shall be unlimited. PubCo may by a resolution of directors or resolution of members appoint any person to be a director. |
Unless and until otherwise determined by an ordinary resolution of SINGAUTO, the directors shall not be less than one in number, and there shall be no maximum number of directors. SINGAUTO may by ordinary resolution appoint any person to be a director. The directors of SINGAUTO also have power at any time and from time to time to appoint any other person as a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional director, subject to the maximum number, if any, imposed by SINGAUTO by ordinary resolution. |
169
| Removal of Directors | A director may be removed by ordinary resolution of PubCo or by a majority of the other directors (not being less than two in number). | A director of SINGAUTO holds office until such time as he is removed from office by SINGAUTO by ordinary resolution. | ||
| Directors' Interests | A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by PubCo, disclose the interest to the PubCo Board, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Amended PubCo Articles. A director who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by PubCo may vote on a matter relating to the transaction, attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum. | A director of SINGAUTO who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with SINGAUTO shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and, if he does so, his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered. | ||
| Right to Dividends | Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Amended PubCo Articles, the PubCo Board may, by resolution of directors, authorize dividends to members at such time and of such an amount as it thinks fit if it is satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the dividends, PubCo will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Subject to the Cayman Islands Companies Act, PubCo may also by ordinary resolution authorize dividends but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. Dividends may be paid in money, shares, or other property. |
Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, the directors of SINGAUTO may from time to time declare dividends, including interim dividends, and other distributions on shares of SINGAUTO in issue and authorize payment of the same out of the funds of SINGAUTO lawfully available therefor. SINGAUTO may by ordinary resolution declare final dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. The directors may make such payment either in cash or in specie. | ||
| Rights of Ordinary Shares | Save and except as expressly provided in the Amended PubCo Articles, holders of ordinary shares shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, and shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the members. Each ordinary share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters subject to vote at a meeting of the members or on any resolution of members of PubCo. | Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands every member of SINGAUTO present in person and every person representing a member by proxy shall have one vote, and on a poll every member and every person representing a member by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. A resolution put to the vote of a SINGAUTO general meeting shall be decided on a show of hands by a simple majority unless a poll is duly demanded. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. | ||
| Transfer of Shares | Subject to the Amended PubCo Articles and provided that such transfer complies with applicable rules of the designated stock exchange, a member may freely transfer shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a common form or in a form prescribed by the designated stock exchange, if such shares are listed on the designated stock exchange, or in any other form approved by the directors. Where the shares of any class in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of any designated stock exchange, the directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of such shares which are not fully paid up or on which PubCo has a lien and may also decline to register any such transfer in the circumstances specified in the Amended PubCo Articles. | Subject to such restrictions of the SINGAUTO’s memorandum and articles of association, as may be applicable, any member of SINGAUTO may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument in writing in any usual or common form or any other form which the directors may approve. The directors of SINGAUTO may, in their absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any share, whether or not it is a fully paid share, without assigning any reason for so doing. |

This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent director having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a director carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, pursuant to BPAC’s Existing Charter, so long as a director has disclosed any interests in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by BPAC to the board of directors he/she may: vote on a matter relating to the transaction; attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and sign a document on behalf of our company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction. Furthermore, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

Our Sponsor and its affiliates(s) as well as each of BPAC’s directors and officers presently have, and in the future any of our Sponsor and its affiliate(s), BPAC’s directors and BPAC’s officers may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such Sponsor, affiliates(s), officer or director is or will be required to present acquisition opportunities to such entity. Accordingly, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an acquisition opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will need to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, we renounce our interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue. As a result, the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors could materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
Our Sponsor, officers and directors may in the future sponsor or participate in the formation of, or become a sponsor, an officer or director of, other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments, may present additional conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented, in pursuing an initial business target and in allocating their time to devote to our affairs. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target, which could materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
When you consider the recommendation of the BPAC Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination and the related Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor (which is affiliated with certain of BPAC’s directors and officers) and BPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder generally, including but not limited to the following
| ● | None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. |
| ● | In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. |
| ● | The fact that the Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their BPAC ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to our founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 15 months after the closing of our initial public offering. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares and rights will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares and the Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such units will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our Sponsor until the earlier of (a) 180 days after the completion of our initial business combination and (b) the date on which we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such shares will be released from lock-up if the last sale price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after our initial business combination. Since our Sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares and rights of PubCo, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
176
| ● | Our Sponsor and its affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate. Our Sponsor and its affiliates will retain 1,667,625 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, representing ownership interest of approximately 1.4% in the combined company, assuming maximum redemption by our public shareholders and assuming the issuance of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares to the SINGAUTO shareholders. Such ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●], based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. |
| ● | If an initial business combination is not completed, the Company will be required to liquidate. In such event, (i) 1,437,500 BPAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.017, or $25,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) all 197,250 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the partial over-allotment option, for an aggregate purchase price of $10.00 per units, or $1,972,500 in the aggregate, will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. The BPAC Class B ordinary shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million, based on the closing price of the BPAC Class A ordinary shares of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. The Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million, based on the closing price of the BPAC units of $[●] per BPAC unit on Nasdaq on [●], 2026. The Sponsor, its affiliates, or promoters, and members of our management team waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the founder shares and the Private Placement Units, and no other consideration was paid for such agreement. Since our Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination. |
| ● | The exercise of BPAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’ best interests. |
| ● | If BPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor may be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by BPAC for services rendered or contracted for BPAC. If BPAC consummates an initial business combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims. |
| ● | Our Sponsor intends to transfer 25,000 of its founder shares to our Chief Financial Officer at the consummation of an initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, Mr. Sandher will not receive such compensation and all founder shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will become worthless. Accordingly, there may exist a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
| ● | Our Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate, or cause to be designated, one (1) independent director to serve on PubCo’s five-person board of directors. Roy Jiang, the 50% legal and beneficial owner of our Sponsor, is expected to serve as PubCo’s independent director upon the closing of the Business Combination, and to receive compensation and benefits from PubCo for such services. See the section titled “Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company after the Business Combination” for additional information. |
| ● | The Sponsor may make loans from time to time to BPAC to fund certain capital requirements. If our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. If we do not complete the Business Combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital 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. Since BPAC will not repay such loans if BPAC does not complete a business combination, a conflict of interest may arise. As of June 30, 2026, no such working capital loans were outstanding. |
| ● | The Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on BPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. Unless we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors and insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account. If the proposed Business Combination is not completed by February 13, 2027 (unless a further extension has been approved by shareholders as allowed under BPAC’s Existing Charter), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, BPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and BPAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working capital if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed within the allotted time period. |
| ● | BPAC’s officers and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business activities. |
177
| ● | The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of BPAC’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination covering BPAC’s current directors and officers. |
| ● | Our Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other BPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the combined company following the Business Combination. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BPAC’s public shareholders who purchased shares in the IPO, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BPAC’s Sponsor would have a gain of approximately $4.98 per share because it acquired the founder shares for a nominal amount. |
The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities to multiple entities.
Furthermore, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. None of the officers and directors of the Sponsor or BPAC have any fiduciary or contractual obligations to, or any interest in, or affiliation with, SINGAUTO. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:
| Individual | Entity(1) | Entity’s Business | Affiliation | |||
| William Rosenstadt | Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP | Law firm | Founder and Managing partner | |||
| Kulwant Sandher | Norsemont Mining Inc. | Mining | CFO | |||
| Smart Cool
Technologies Inc. Hurricane Corporate Services Ltd |
Energy Consulting |
CFO President | ||||
| Yarona Yieh | Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP | Law firm | Partner | |||
| Scott Silverman | Thornhill Advisory Group, Inc | Financial management and advisory | Founder, President and CEO | |||
| Thornhill Holdings Ltd | Private equity firm | Founder, President and CEO | ||||
| Vitae, Group, Inc. | Global insurance brokerage | CFO | ||||
| AP Capital | Private equity | CFO | ||||
| CompEquip Solutions | Medical equipment | CFO | ||||
| Steven Sanders | Globocare Corp. | Healthcare provider | Director | |||
| Helijet International Inc. | Healthcare service | Director |
Accordingly, if any of the above officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. We believe that the potential conflict of interest relating to the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association did not impact our search for an acquisition target and that BPAC was not prevented from reviewing any opportunities as a result of such waiver.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, or our Board cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm or any other firm that commonly renders valuation opinions or from an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Since SINGAUTO is not affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, or directors, we are not required to obtain a fairness opinion. However, the BPAC Board has decided to obtain a fairness opinion to assist in the decision-making process. For additional information regarding the fairness opinion, see “Basis for the BPAC Board’s Recommendation — Fairness Opinion.”
In the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a Letter Agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares, private placement shares and public shares held by them (and their permitted transferees will agree) in favor of our initial business combination.
178

Composition of the Board of Directors
PubCo’s Board of Directors will consist of five (5) directors, including [three (3)] independent directors, namely [_______], [_______] and [_______], upon the closing of the Business Combination. A director is not required to hold any shares in PubCo to qualify as a director. Nasdaq Listing Rules require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors.
A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with PubCo is required to declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of PubCo’s directors. A notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he or she is a member, shareholder, director, partner, officer or employee of any specified company or firm or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect to a contract or transaction in which he/she has an interest. A director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he/she may be interested therein and if he/she does so, his/her vote shall be counted, and he/she may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered. PubCo’s Board of Directors may by resolution of directors exercise all of the powers to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of PubCo or of any third party. None of PubCo’s directors has a service contract with PubCo that provides for benefits upon termination of service as a director.
179
When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable PubCo’s Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, PubCo’s Board of Directors expects to focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.
Director Independence
In connection with the Business Combination, the PubCo ordinary shares are expected to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. Subject to specified exceptions, the rules of Nasdaq require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors, and that each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. It is currently anticipated that [_______], [_______] and [_______] will be considered “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq.
Committees of the Board of the Directors
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo intends to establish an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under its Board of Directors. PubCo also intends to adopt a charter for each of the three committees upon the closing of the Business Combination. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit Committee
PubCo’s Audit Committee will consist of [_______], [_______] and [_______], with [_______] serving as chair. PubCo has determined that each of and satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended. PubCo has determined that [_______] qualifies as an “Audit Committee financial expert.” In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
The Company’s audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:
| ● | appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors; |
| ● | reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response; |
| ● | discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors; |
| ● | reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of PubCo’s accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures; |
| ● | reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions; |
| ● | meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and |
| ● | monitoring compliance with its code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of PubCo’s procedures to ensure proper compliance. |
180
Compensation Committee
Upon the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo’s compensation committee will consist [_______], [_______] and [_______], with [_______] serving as chair . PubCo has determined that each of and satisfies the “independence” requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. PubCo’s compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:
| ● | reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives, evaluating the performance of and reviewing and approving the compensation of PubCo’s chief executive officer, and the chief executive officer may not be present during voting or deliberations on his or her compensation; |
| ● | overseeing an evaluation of the performance of and reviewing and setting or making recommendations to the PubCo Board regarding the compensation of PubCo’s other executive officers; |
| ● | reviewing and approving or making recommendations to the PubCo Board regarding PubCo’s incentive compensation and equity-based plans, policies and programs; |
| ● | reviewing and approving all employment agreement and severance arrangements for PubCo’s executive officers; |
| ● | making recommendations to the PubCo Board regarding the compensation of PubCo’s directors; and |
retaining and overseeing any compensation consultants.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Upon completion of the Business Combination, PubCo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will consist [_______], [_______] and [_______], with [_______] serving as chair serving as chair. PubCo has determined that each of and satisfies the “independence” requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. PubCo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:
| ● | identifying and recommending nominees for election or re-election to PubCo’s Board of Directors, or for appointment to fill any vacancy; |
| ● | reviewing annually with PubCo’s Board of Directors its composition in light of the characteristics of independence, age, skills, experience and availability of service to PubCo; |
| ● | identifying and recommending to PubCo’s board the directors to serve as members of committees; |
| ● | advising the board periodically with respect to developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as PubCo’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| ● | making recommendations to PubCo’s Board of Directors on corporate governance matters and on any corrective action to be taken; and |
| ● | monitoring compliance with PubCo’s code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of PubCo’s procedures to ensure compliance. |
Duties of Directors
Under Cayman Islands law, directors owe fiduciary duties to the company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in the company’s best interests. Directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Directors also owe to the company a duty to exercise the skill they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities will be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, directors must ensure compliance with the company’s memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, and the class rights vested thereunder in the holders of the shares.
181
The board of directors has all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, PubCo’s business affairs. The functions and powers of the board of directors include, among others:
| ● | convening shareholders’ annual and extraordinary general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings; |
| ● | declaring dividends and distributions; |
| ● | appointing officers and determining the term of office of the officers; |
| ● | exercising the borrowing powers of the company and mortgaging the property of the company; and |
| ● | approving the transfer of shares in the company, including the registration of such shares in the register of members. |
Terms of Directors and Officers
PubCo’s directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until their resignation, death or incapacity or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified in accordance with PubCo’s articles of association.
A director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (1) dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors, (2) is found to be a lunatic or becomes of unsound mind, (3) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to PubCo, or (4) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of PubCo’s articles of association.
PubCo’s officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors and may be removed by PubCo’s board of directors.
Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements
PubCo will enter into employment agreements with each of its executive officers immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo may terminate an executive officer’s employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the officer, including but not limited to incapacity to fulfill job responsibilities, breach of internal procedures or regulations which cause material damage to PubCo or breach of obligation of confidentiality.
Each executive officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the employment agreement expires or is earlier terminated, in strict confidence and not to use, except for PubCo’s benefit, any confidential information of PubCo. In addition, all of PubCo’s executive officers have agreed to be bound by the non-competition agreements entered into between such executive officers and PubCo.
In addition, PubCo will enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. PubCo is expected to indemnify its directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of them being PubCo’s directors or executive officers.
Code of Ethics and Corporate Governance
PubCo will have a new code of ethics that applies to all of its executive officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics will be available on PubCo’s corporate website at upon the completion of the Business Combination. The information on any of PubCo’s websites is deemed not to be incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus or to be part of this proxy statement/prospectus.
PubCo intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 6-K.
In addition, PubCo’s Board of Directors will adopt a set of corporate governance guidelines covering a variety of matters, including approval of related party transactions following the completion of the Business Combination.
182
Clawback Policy
PubCo will adopt a clawback policy that applies to all of its executive officers in order to comply with Nasdaq rules. The policy will give the Compensation Committee the discretion to require executive officers to reimburse PubCo for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as defined in the policy) that was based on financial results that were subsequently restated as a result of that person’s misconduct.
Insider Trading Policy
PubCo will adopt an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of PubCo’s securities by its directors, officers and employees and by PubCo itself.
Risk Oversight
The PubCo Board will be responsible for overseeing PubCo’s risk management process. The PubCo Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the PubCo Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the PubCo Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. The PubCo Board as a whole will work with the management team to promote and cultivate a corporate environment that incorporates enterprise-wide risk management into strategy and operations. Management periodically will report to the PubCo Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. Each committee of the PubCo Board will be responsible for the evaluation of elements of risk management based on the committee’s expertise and applicable regulatory requirements. In evaluating risk, the PubCo Board and its committees will consider whether PubCo’s programs adequately identify material risks in a timely manner and implement appropriately responsive risk management strategies throughout the organization. The audit committee will focus on assessing and mitigating financial risk, including risk related to internal controls, as well as general legal compliance risk, and will receive at least quarterly reports from management on identified risk areas. The compensation committee will focus on risks relating to PubCo’s compensation programs, as well as legal compliance risk related to compensation. In setting compensation, the compensation committee will strive to create incentives that encourage behavior consistent with PubCo’s business strategy, without encouraging undue risk-taking. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider areas of potential risk within corporate governance and compliance, such as management succession and environmental, social responsibility and sustainability initiatives. Each of the committees will report to the PubCo Board as a whole as to their findings with respect to the risks they are charged with assessing.
Compensation of Directors and Officers
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we expect PubCo’s executive compensation program to reflect SINGAUTO’s compensation policies and philosophies, as they may be modified and updated from time to time. We expect that decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of the PubCo Board. Based on current expectations, following the Closing of the Business Combination, Mr. Liu Yuqiang will receive annualized compensation of SGD360,000 and Mr. Zi (Nigel) Nai will receive annualized compensation of SGD240,000.
In addition, following the consummation of the Business Combination, we intend to adopt an appropriate non-employee director compensation program pursuant to which our non-employee directors will be eligible to receive a combination of an annual cash retainer, meeting fees, and equity-based awards. The specific terms of such non-employee director compensation program have not yet been determined and will be approved by the PubCo Board or its compensation committee following the Closing of the Business Combination.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF PUBCO SECURITIES FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION
The following table sets forth information regarding the expected beneficial ownership of PubCo ordinary shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination by:
| ● | each person who is expected to beneficially own 5.0% or more of the outstanding PubCo ordinary shares; |
| ● | each person who will become an executive officer or director of PubCo; and |
| ● | all of those executive officers and directors of PubCo as a group. |
Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of PubCo ordinary shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to, or the power to receive the economic benefit of ownership of, the securities and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, in computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days are included, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. However, these shares are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person.
The total number of PubCo ordinary shares expected to be outstanding after the consummation of the Business Combination will be (i) assuming a No Redemption Scenario and assuming the issuance of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares to the SINGAUTO shareholders, 128,375,958 PubCo ordinary shares, and (ii) assuming a Maximum Redemption Scenario and assuming the issuance of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares to the SINGAUTO shareholders, 122,625,958 PubCo ordinary shares.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
BPAC Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In February 2025, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,983,750 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate of $25,000. In August 2025, the Sponsor, for no consideration, forfeited 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares (up to 187,500 of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). As a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on November 13, 2025, the 187,500 Class B ordinary shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a Letter Agreement with BPAC, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if BPAC fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if BPAC fails to complete the initial business combination within such time period and (C) the founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, as described in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If BPAC submits the initial business combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote any shares held by them in favor of the initial business combination.
With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to BPAC’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (a) 180 days after the completion of the initial business combination or (b) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equal or exceed $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which BPAC completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. In addition, BPAC could agree to permit the holders of the founder shares to transfer shares or agree to cancel such securities. Although no such transfers or cancellations are contemplated, BPAC could agree to permit such transfer or cancellation to facilitate the closing of a business combination.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On February 28, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to loan BPAC up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from BPAC to the Sponsor. The Promissory Note was due on the earlier of: (i) the date on which BPAC consummates an initial public offering of its securities, or (ii) the date on which BPAC determines to not proceed with such initial public offering. Upon the closing of the IPO on November 13, 2025 BPAC fully repaid the outstanding amount of approximately $206,823 under the Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2026, BPAC had no borrowings under the Promissory Note.
On May 13, 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan BPAC up to an aggregate amount of $190,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the business combination (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note is unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from BPAC to the Sponsor. The Convertible Note is payable no later than the date on which BPAC terminates or consummates an initial business combination with a target business. The Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding unpaid obligations, in whole or in part, into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one BPAC Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one BPAC Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial business combination.
186
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of BPAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan BPAC funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If BPAC completes the initial business combination, BPAC may repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, BPAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. The terms of Working Capital Loans by BPAC’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2026, BPAC had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administration Service Agreement
On November 11, 2025, BPAC entered into an administration service agreement with the Sponsor for a term of 15 months, pursuant to which BPAC agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, BPAC incurred administrative service fees totaling $30,000. Additionally, amounts of $76,667 and $16,667 were accrued and included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Consulting Services Agreement
On November 11, 2025, BPAC entered into a consulting agreement with Hurricane Corporate Services Ltd. (the “Consultant”), a consulting company controlled by Kulwant Sandher, BPAC’s Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, BPAC has engaged the Consultant to provide Chief Financial Officer services to BPAC, at the monthly fee of $3,000 plus reimbursable expenses actually incurred by the Consultant. The consulting agreement has a duration of three months commencing on the execution date and is automatically renewed for additional three month terms unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. The consulting agreement provides that each party will indemnify the other for any breach of the agreement or any negligent or wrongful act or omission by the indemnifying party.
Related Party Policy
BPAC’s Code of Conduct and Ethics requires BPAC to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) BPAC or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict-of-interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.
BPAC’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent BPAC enters into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between BPAC and any of its officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by BPAC to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by BPAC’s audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of its board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to BPAC’s attorneys or independent legal counsel. BPAC will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of its disinterested independent directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to BPAC than those that would be available to BPAC with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, BPAC requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize potential conflicts of interest, BPAC has agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any of its initial shareholders unless BPAC obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to its unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. In addition, BPAC may pay its existing officers, directors, special advisors or initial shareholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination (regardless of the type of transaction).

Related Party Transactions Involving Intellectual Property
Intangible Asset and Demo Car Purchase Agreement
Under an intangible asset and demo car purchase agreement dated April 1, 2025, SingAuto Pte. Ltd., or SingAuto Singapore, purchased from Beijing Xinshiya Technology Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Beijing, certain intangible assets and demo vehicle assets developed or owned by Xinshiya Beijing for an aggregate purchase price of RMB39.01 million (US$5.6 million). The purchase price was set off against an intercompany loan receivable assigned by SingAuto Cayman to SingAuto Singapore. The purchased assets include intellectual property rights, technical data, source files, design files, CAD data, reports and related documentation for refrigerated commercial electric vehicles, and SingAuto Singapore obtained the right to use, commercialize, sublicense, modify, develop and exploit such assets, while Xinshiya Beijing retained only a non-exclusive, non-transferable and royalty-free right to use the assets for internal R&D and technical support purposes and agreed not to commercialize such assets for products or services in the relevant territory.
The sale and transfer of assets contemplated under this agreement was completed in April 2025, and the relevant rights in the purchased assets were transferred to SingAuto Singapore with effect from the completion date. The agreement is structured as a completed asset transfer rather than an ongoing license arrangement and does not provide for a fixed operating term, renewal right or separate early termination right, although certain obligations, including confidentiality obligations, survive termination or expiry in accordance with its terms.
189
Intellectual Property License Agreement
Under a certain intellectual property license agreement dated March 9, 2026, SingAuto Singapore, as licensor, granted Xinshiya Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or Xinshiya Shanghai, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use certain intellectual property, including the “SingAuto” brand, trademarks and logos, vehicle design specifications, technical standards, product documentation, software systems, algorithms, technical architecture, know-how, technical processes and engineering methods, solely within the PRC for Xinshiya Shanghai’s own business operations, in exchange for a royalty equal to 22% of Xinshiya Shanghai’s net sales from our products within the PRC. We currently do not intend to directly market or sell vehicles in the PRC market ourselves. Instead, we expect Xinshiya Shanghai to conduct marketing and sales activities in the PRC as our non-exclusive licensed commercial partner. As of the date hereof, no royalties or other payments have been incurred, paid or exchanged under this agreement. The Intellectual Property License Agreement does not have a fixed expiration date and remains in effect until terminated by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice, without affecting accrued rights and obligations. The agreement does not contain an automatic renewal provision.
Intellectual Property Cooperation Agreement and Deed of Waiver
SingAuto has historically conducted its R&D activities in collaboration with Xinshiya Beijing. Certain patents and patent applications developed in connection with our business were historically registered, listed or recorded in the names of multiple parties as co-holders, co-owners or co-applicants, including SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore, SingAuto HK and Xinshiya Beijing. See “Information About SINGAUTO — Material Intellectual Property Agreements” for more information regarding related-party transactions involving Xinshiya Beijing. To clarify the ownership and commercialization rights in these patents and patent applications, the relevant parties entered into a deed of waiver and relinquishment of IP rights and an intellectual property cooperation agreement in May 2026.
Under the deed of waiver dated and effective as of May 4, 2026, SingAuto HK acknowledged that its prior registration as a co-holder of certain intellectual property had been made for administrative or structural purposes, irrevocably and unconditionally waived and released all rights, title and interest in the relevant intellectual property worldwide, and agreed to cooperate in its removal from applicable IP registration records. The deed does not provide for a fixed term, renewal right or early termination right, although certain obligations, including confidentiality obligations, survive termination or expiry in accordance with the terms of the deed.
On May 15, 2026, SingAuto Cayman, SingAuto Singapore and Xinshiya Beijing entered into an intellectual property cooperation agreement, or IP Cooperation Agreement, to establish a unified framework for the licensing and commercialization of the licensed patents worldwide. The entry into the IP Cooperation Agreement satisfied the closing condition under the Merger Agreement requiring SINGAUTO to enter into the IP Cooperation Agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within ten business days following the date of the Merger Agreement. Under the IP Cooperation agreement, SingAuto Cayman and Xinshiya Beijing are identified as IP holders and SingAuto Singapore is identified as the licensee, and SingAuto Singapore receives an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license under the licensed patents to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import licensed products, with full and final control over commercialization and exploitation of the licensed patents. The agreement also provides for a one-time lump sum consideration, the specific amount of which remains subject to the parties’ further determination, in lieu of ongoing royalties. On June 15, 2026, the parties entered into a supplementary agreement to the IP Cooperation Agreement, setting the consideration at $2.0.
The IP Cooperation Agreement became effective on May 15, 2026 and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, continues on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of a licensed patent in the relevant country, or, if no patent contained in the licensed patents is issued or the relevant patents or patent applications are abandoned, until one year after the last patent or patent application is abandoned. SingAuto Singapore, as licensee, may terminate the agreement without cause on at least 45 business days’ prior written notice to the IP holders, and may also terminate the agreement if any IP holder materially breaches the agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 business days after written notice. Either party may terminate the agreement immediately upon certain insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar events affecting SingAuto Singapore. The agreement does not contain an automatic renewal provision. Upon expiration of the last patent to expire under the licensed patents in any country with respect to any licensed product, provided SingAuto Singapore is not then in breach of the agreement, SingAuto Singapore will have a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up license to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import in that country products that were previously licensed products.
Spin-off of Hong Kong and Shanghai Entities
On March 6, 2026, Singauto Singapore transferred all of its shares in Singauto Limited (HK) to Singauto Tech Inc. for a consideration of HKD10,000. Our CEO and chairman, Mr. Yuqiang Liu holds 78.52% of the issued and outstanding shares of Singauto Tech Inc.
As a result, both Singauto Limited (HK) and its wholly owned subsidiary Xinshiya (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. were spun off from SingAuto.

It is expected that, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, SINGAUTO’s board will adopt related party transaction policy, which stipulates that each related party transaction with an aggregate amount that exceeds or may be expected to exceed US$1 million in any fiscal year needs to be approved or ratified by SINGAUTO’s board or a designated director. SINGAUTO’s board of directors or the designated director shall consider, among other factors, whether such related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Blueport Acquisition Ltd
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Blueport Acquisition Ltd (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period January 13, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has $480,852 of cash, working capital of $408,107, and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of an acquisition, that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a Public Accounting Firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

BLUEPORT ACQUISITION LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Blueport Acquisition Ltd (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 13, 2025. The Company was 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 (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from January 13, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Blueport Acquisition Corporation (the “Sponsor”), a Nevada corporation.
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on November 10, 2025. On November 13, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO, which consisted of 5,750,000 units (the “Units”), including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Share”), and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one Class A Ordinary Share (the “Right”) of the Company. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 197,250 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $2,435,201 consisting of $862,500 underwriting commissions which were paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $1,150,000 deferred underwriting fee, and $422,701 other offering costs. On the IPO date, $658,177 (including $653,177 funded by the Sponsor on November 14, 2023) was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of the promissory note (see Note 5), payment of accrued expenses and for working capital purposes.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private 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 a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. 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 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”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
Upon the closing of the IPO, an amount of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury. Except with respect to dividend and/or interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units that are deposited and held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the Company’s initial Business Combination within 15 months from the effective date of this registration statement (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if the company are unable to complete their initial business combination within 15 months from the effective date of this registration statement (unless such completion window is extended by shareholders via an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account.
F-7
The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal 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 (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal 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. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Shareholders”) and the underwriters have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares (as defined in Note 4), Shares issued as underwriting commissions (see Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
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 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company has determined not to consummate any Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation in order to avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. However, if the Company seeks to consummate an initial Business Combination with a target business that imposes any type of working capital closing condition or requires us to have a minimum amount of funds available from the Trust Account upon consummation of such initial Business Combination, its net tangible asset threshold may limit the Company’s ability to consummate such initial Business Combination (as the Company may be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed) and may force the Company to seek third party financing which may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result, the Company may not be able to consummate such initial Business Combination and the Company may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all.
The Company will have 15 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Completion Window”) to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within such period, unless the Company extends such period pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), 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 to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their initial shares, private shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their initial shares, private shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (a) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their initial shares and private shares if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any initial shares and private shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of the initial business combination.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination 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 share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, 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 the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure the Sponsor will be able to satisfy those obligations.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $480,852 in cash and a working capital of $408,107. The Sponsor agreed to provide the Company with a non-interest bearing, unsecured loan of up to $300,000 to cover part of the IPO expenses. The loan was fully repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding under the promissory note as discussed in Note 5.
The Company currently has until February 13, 2027 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the business combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including tariffs, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine, Hamas/Israel conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. 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. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
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 financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 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 $480,852 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Investments Held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2025, substantially all of 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 classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 input utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.
F-10
Offering Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering costs consist of legal and other professional expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs were allocated to the Public Rights and Private Placement Units issued in the IPO on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the IPO. As of December 31, 2025, there were no offering costs outstanding.
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 Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such an account.
The Company’s funds held in the Trust Account are invested in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that invest exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations. These investments are not subject to FDIC insurance; however, U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk in connection with the Trust Account investments.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is a Cayman Islands exempt 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 period presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
F-11
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
| Level 1 — | Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2 — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. | |
| Level 3 — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company will account for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder, or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will classify Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. Given that the 5,750,000 ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the IPO will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital) over an expected 15-month period, which is the initial period that the Company has to complete a Business Combination. Accordingly, as of November 13, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $ | 57,500,000 | ||
| Less: | ||||
| Proceeds allocated to Public Share Rights | (2,415,000 | ) | ||
| Class A ordinary shares issuance costs | (2,332,922 | ) | ||
| Plus: Subsequent measurement of ordinary shares subject to redemption (interest earned on trust account) | 284,455 | |||
| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | 303,957 | |||
| Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 | $ | 53,340,490 |
Rights Accounting
The Company accounts for rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the right’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the rights are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the right holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of right issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the rights are outstanding.
For issued or modified rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statement of operations.
As the rights issued upon the closing of the IPO and sale of Private Placement Units have met the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, therefore, the rights are classified as equity; see Note 7 for detail description.

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of the inception of the Company. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statement.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On November 13, 2025, the Company sold 5,750,000 Units (including full allotment of 750,000 units), at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share with $0.0001 par value and one right (the “Public Right”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon the conversion of the rights. As a result, the holder must hold rights in multiples of six in order to receive shares for all of their rights upon closing of a Business Combination.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 197,250 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $1,972,500 in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Each Private Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Private Share”) and one right (“Private Right”). Each Private Right will receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO which were deposited in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.
The Private Placement Units, private placement shares, private placement rights and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such rights will not be transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, except to permitted transferees.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On February 28, 2025, the Company issued to the Sponsor 1,983,750 class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregated consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.0126 per ordinary share.
In August 2025, the Sponsor forfeited, for no consideration, 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares (up to 187,500 of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters).
As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,437,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding; no shares are subject to forfeiture as a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of its over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being sold in the IPO, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and (ii) the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within such time period and (iii) the Founder Shares and private placement shares are subject to registration rights. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement to be entered into with the Company, to vote any Founder Shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
F-14
With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to certain permitted transferees)) until the earlier of 180 days after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On February 28, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from the Company to the Sponsor. The Promissory Note is due on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities, or (ii) the date on which the Company determines to not proceed with such initial public offering. Upon the closing of the IPO on November 13, 2025, the Company fully repaid the outstanding amount of approximately $206,823 under the Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Promissory Note.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended 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 (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. The terms of Working Capital Loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor on the effective date of the registration statement of the initial public offering through the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. As of December 31, 2025, the Company incurred and accrued $16,667 in administrative service fees which were included in the accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet.
Consulting Services Agreement
On November 11, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Hurricane Corporate Services Ltd., a consulting firm controlled by Kulwant Sandher, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO’). The agreement is for a term of three months commencing on the execution date and will automatically renew for an additional three-month period. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Sandher a monthly fee of $3,000. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had incurred and accrued approximately $4,500 in CFO service fees.
Director Compensation
The Company pays a quarterly fee of $7,500 to its directors. As of December 31, 2025, no director fees were incurred and outstanding.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025, as well as the holders of the Private Units and any shares of the Company’s insiders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans and extension loans made to the Company (and any ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the underlying the private rights), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the registration statement. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from trust. The holders of a majority of the private units and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummate an initial business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
F-15
Underwriting Agreement
The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter fully excised its over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.50% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $862,500. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 2% of the gross proceeds of the IPO or $1,150,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The underwriters have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination, and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association).
Note 7 — Shareholder’s Deficit
Class A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to 450,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. As of December 31, 2025, there were 197,250 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding excluding 5,750,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. In August 2025, the Sponsor forfeited, for no consideration, 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares (up to 187,500 of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters).
As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding; no shares are subject to forfeiture as a result of the underwriter’s full excise of its over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 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 this offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such 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 (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of this offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the private units issued to the sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement-equivalent units issued to our sponsor or any of its affiliates or to our officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination; provided that such conversion of initial shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the shareholders. Approval of certain actions require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, and pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company.
F-16
Rights — Each holder of a right will receive one-sixth (1/6) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per ordinary share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive one share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the ordinary shares underlying the rights.
Note 8 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement 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, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive 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 operating and reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| For the Period from January 13, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account | $ | 284,455 | ||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | 304,193 | ||
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account are reviewed to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based on the review, the Company identified the following subsequent event that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
On February 17, 2026, the Company paid approximately $8,000 and $7,500 to the CFO and Scott Silverman (Independent Director), respectively.

BLUEPORT ACQUISITION LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Blueport Acquisition Ltd (the “Company” or “BPAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 13, 2025. The Company was 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 (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from January 13, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2026 were related to the Company’s formation and the initial public offer (“IPO”), as described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Blueport Acquisition Corporation (the “Sponsor”), a Nevada corporation.
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on November 10, 2025. On November 13, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO, which consisted of 5,750,000 units (the “Units”), including 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Share”), and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) of one Class A Ordinary Share of the Company. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $57,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 197,250 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $1,972,500, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $2,435,201 consisting of $862,500 underwriting commissions which were paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $1,150,000 deferred underwriting fee, and $422,701 other offering costs. On the IPO date, $658,177 (including $653,177 funded by the Sponsor on November 14, 2025) was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of the promissory note (see Note 5), payment of accrued expenses and for working capital purposes.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the 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 a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. 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 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”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
Upon the closing of the IPO, an amount of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may only be invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury and held in cash or cash like items (including demand deposit accounts) at a bank. Except with respect to dividend and/or interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units that are deposited and held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the Company’s initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if the company are unable to complete their initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (unless such completion window is extended by shareholders via an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account.
F-22
The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal 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 (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal 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. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Shareholders”) and the underwriters have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, and private placement shares (see Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
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 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company has determined not to consummate any Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation in order to avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. However, if the Company seeks to consummate an initial Business Combination with a target business that imposes any type of working capital closing condition or requires the Company to have a minimum amount of funds available from the Trust Account upon consummation of such initial Business Combination, its net tangible asset threshold may limit the Company’s ability to consummate such initial Business Combination (as the Company may be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed) and may force the Company to seek third party financing which may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result, the Company may not be able to consummate such initial Business Combination and the Company may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all.
The Company will have 15 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Completion Window”) to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within such period, unless the Company extends such period pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), 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 to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their initial shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their initial shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (a) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their initial shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any initial shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of the initial business combination.
F-23
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination 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 share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, 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 the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure the Sponsor will be able to satisfy those obligations.
The Merger Agreement
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with (i) NeoCryo Inc, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (the “Purchaser”), (ii) NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (“Merger Sub”), and (iii) SINGAUTO Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SINGAUTO”), to effect a two-step business combination resulting in a new publicly traded holding company (“PubCo”). The transaction is structured in two sequential mergers:
Reincorporation Merger: Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser surviving as PubCo (the “Reincorporation Merger”). In connection with the Reincorporation Merger, (i) all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Class A ordinary shares, (ii) all issued and outstanding units will be separated automatically into their individual components of Class A ordinary shares and rights, and will cease separate existence and trading, (iii) all issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Purchaser ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, and (iv) each issued and outstanding right will be converted into a right to receive one-sixth of one Purchaser ordinary share at closing.
Acquisition Merger: At least one business day after the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”). As a result of the Acquisition Merger, all outstanding equity interests of SINGAUTO will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive merger consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable to SINGAUTO’s shareholders is $1.2 billion, payable entirely in equity, consisting of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances, including failure to obtain required approvals, uncured breaches, legal prohibitions, or failure to execute a required IP cooperation agreement.
Key Related Agreements:
| ● | Company Support Agreement: Certain SINGAUTO shareholders agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and restrict transfers of their SINGAUTO shares until closing or termination. |
| ● | Sponsor Support Agreement: The Sponsor and certain of its affiliates agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, waive redemption rights, and not transfer their BPAC shares until closing or termination. |
| ● | Lock-Up Agreements: At closing, the Sponsor and certain significant shareholders (≥5% holders) will be subject to transfer restrictions on their PubCo ordinary shares, lasting 180 days following the closing of the Business Combination, subject to early release upon certain specified stock price thresholds or certain change-of-control events. |
| ● | Registration Rights Agreement: PubCo will enter into a registration rights agreement with certain shareholders of SINGAUTO and BPAC, pursuant to which such shareholders will be provided demand and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. All expenses of registration will be paid by PubCo. |
| ● | IP Cooperation Agreement: SINGAUTO is required to enter into the IP cooperation agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within a specified period. |
Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $29,180 in cash and working capital deficit of $378,889. The Sponsor agreed to provide the Company with a non-interest bearing, unsecured loan of up to $300,000 to cover part of the IPO expenses. The loan was fully repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $190,000 and $0 outstanding, respectively, under the promissory note as discussed in Note 5.

The Company currently has until February 13, 2027 (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the combination period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statement. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the business combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including tariffs, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing geopolitical conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. 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. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Form 10K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future interim 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 financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 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.
F-25
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 $29,180 and $480,852 in cash and none in cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Concentrations 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 Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such an account.
The Company’s funds held in the Trust Account are invested in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that invest exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations. These investments are not subject to FDIC insurance; however, U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk in connection with the Trust Account investments.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is a Cayman Islands exempt 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 period presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
| Level 1 — | Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2 — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. | |
| Level 3 — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |
F-26
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company will account for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be 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 the Company’s control) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will classify Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. Given that the 5,750,000 ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the IPO will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital) over an expected 15-month period, which is the initial period that the Company has to complete a Business Combination. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $ | 57,500,000 | ||
| Less: | ||||
| Proceeds allocated to Public Share Rights | (2,415,000 | ) | ||
| Class A ordinary shares issuance costs | (2,332,922 | ) | ||

Rights Accounting
The Company accounts for rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the right’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the rights are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the right holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of right issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the rights are outstanding.
F-27
For issued or modified rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
As the rights issued upon the closing of the IPO and sale of Private Placement Units have met the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, therefore, the rights are classified as equity; see Note 7 for detail description.

Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 and the adoption has no material impact on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
F-29
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On November 13, 2025, the Company sold 5,750,000 Units (including full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option of 750,000 units), at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right (the “Public Right”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon the conversion of the rights. As a result, the holder must hold rights in multiples of six in order to receive shares for all of their rights upon closing of a Business Combination.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 197,250 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $1,972,500 in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO which were deposited in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, 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.
The Private Placement Units, private placement shares, private placement rights and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such rights will not be transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, except to permitted transferees.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On February 28, 2025, the Company issued to the Sponsor 1,983,750 class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregated consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.0126 per ordinary share.
In August 2025, the Sponsor forfeited, for no consideration, 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares (up to 187,500 of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters).
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 1,437,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding; no shares are subject to forfeiture as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of its over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being sold in the IPO, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within such time period, and (iii) the Founder Shares and private placement shares are subject to registration rights. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, to vote any Founder Shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to certain permitted transferees)) until the earlier of 180 days after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On February 28, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was unsecured, interest-free; the principal may be drawn down from time to time upon a written request from the Company to the Sponsor. The Promissory Note was due on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities, or (ii) the date on which the Company determines to not proceed with such initial public offering. Upon the closing of the IPO on November 13, 2025, the Company fully repaid the outstanding amount of approximately $206,823 under the Promissory Note.
F-30
In May 2026, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $190,000 to pay for various expenses of the Company and for working capital purposes pursuant to a promissory note. The promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable no later than the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $190,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the promissory note.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended 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 (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. The terms of Working Capital Loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor on the effective date of the registration statement of the initial public offering through the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred administrative service fees totaling $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. Additionally, amounts of $60,000 and $16,667 were accrued and included in accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, as well as the holders of the Private Placement Units and any shares of the Company’s insiders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans and extension loans made to the Company (and any ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the underlying the private placement rights), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from lock-up. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Units and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummate an initial business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Consulting Services Agreement
On November 11, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Hurricane Corporate Services Ltd., a consulting firm controlled by Kulwant Sandher, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). The agreement is for a term of three months commencing on the execution date and will automatically renew for an additional three-month period. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Sandher a monthly fee of $3,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $9,000 and $18,000, respectively, in CFO service fees. The Company did not incur any CFO service fees for the period from January 13, 2025 (Inception) through June 30 2025. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $6,000 and $0 of which were accrued and included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Director Compensation
The Company pays a quarterly fee of $7,500 to its directors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $22,500 and $45,000, respectively, in director compensation, of which $15,000 and $0 were accrued and included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not incur any director compensation for the period from January 13, 2025 (Inception) through June 30 2025.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully excised their over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
F-31
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.50% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $862,500. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 2% of the gross proceeds of the IPO or $1,150,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting discounts held in the trust account in the event the Company does not consummate a business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (as may be extended pursuant to the Company’s charter documents (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the completion window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association)), and in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the trust account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares.
Note 7 — Shareholders’ Equity
Class A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to 450,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. As of June 30, 2026, there were 197,250 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 5,750,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. On February 28, 2025, the Company issued to the Sponsor 1,983,750 class B ordinary shares for an aggregated consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.0126 per ordinary share. In August 2025, the Sponsor forfeited, for no consideration, 546,250 shares in a share recapitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares (up to 187,500 of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters).
As of June 30, 2026 and December, 2025, there were 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding; no shares are subject to forfeiture as a result of the underwriters’ full excise of its over-allotment option on November 13, 2025.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 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 IPO and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such 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 (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Company’s Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination; provided that such conversion of initial shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
Shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as required by Cayman Islands law or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the shareholders. Approval of certain actions require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, and pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company.
Rights — Each holder of a right will receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per ordinary share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive one share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the ordinary shares underlying the rights.

Note 9 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement 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, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive 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 operating and reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| For the Three Months Ended June 30, | For the Six Months Ended June 30 | For the Period From January 13, 2025 (Inception) Through June 30 | ||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||||||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | 398,044 | $ | 37,000 | $ | 726,995 | $ | 46,052 | ||||||||
| Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account | $ | 515,625 | $ | - | $ | 1,024,750 | $ | - | ||||||||
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account are reviewed to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on the review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Director and
Shareholder of NeoCryo Inc
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of NeoCryo Inc as of May 31, 2026, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s deficit, and cash flows for the period April 9, 2026 (inception) through May 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period April 9, 2026 (inception) through May 31, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no cash, a net loss, and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2026.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
NeoCryo Inc. (the “Company” or “PubCo”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 9, 2026 as a limited liability company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Blueport Acquisition Ltd. (“BPAC” or the “Parent”), a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Company was formed solely for the purpose of effectuating the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 1, 2026, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), among BPAC, the Company, NeoCryo Merger Sub Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), and SINGAUTO Inc. a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SINGAUTO”). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
Since inception, the Company has had no operating activities; it was formed solely for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and as of May 31, 2026, the Company had no cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital deficit of $4,200. Pubco’s operating expenses are borne by its parent company, BPAC. As of March 31, 2026, BPAC has net assets of $2,420,701 and cash of $97,816. These assets are sufficient to cover Pubco’s future operating expenses.
Business Combination
On May 1, 2026, BPAC entered into the Merger Agreement with (i) the Company, (ii) Merger Sub, and (iii) SINGAUTO, to effect a two-step business combination resulting in a new publicly traded holding company (“PubCo”). The transaction is structured in two sequential mergers:
Reincorporation Merger: Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, BPAC will merge with and into the Purchaser, with the Purchaser surviving as PubCo (the “Reincorporation Merger”). In connection with the Reincorporation Merger, (i) all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Class A ordinary shares, (ii) all issued and outstanding units will be separated automatically into their individual components of Class A ordinary shares and rights, and will cease separate existence and trading, (iii) all issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares will be converted automatically into Purchaser ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, and (iv) each issued and outstanding right will be converted into a right to receive one-sixth of one Purchaser ordinary share at closing.
Acquisition Merger: At least one business day after the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into SINGAUTO, with SINGAUTO surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”). As a result of the Acquisition Merger, all outstanding equity interests of SINGAUTO will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive merger consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable to SINGAUTO’s shareholders is $1.2 billion, payable entirely in equity, consisting of 120,000,000 PubCo ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under customary circumstances, including failure to obtain required approvals, uncured breaches, legal prohibitions, or failure to execute a required IP cooperation agreement.
Key Related Agreements:
| ● | Company Support Agreement: Certain SINGAUTO shareholders agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and restrict transfers of their SINGAUTO shares until closing or termination. |
| ● | Sponsor Support Agreement: The Sponsor and certain of its affiliates agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, waive redemption rights, and not transfer their BPAC shares until closing or termination. |
| ● | Lock-Up Agreements: At closing, the Sponsor and certain significant shareholders (≥5% holders) will be subject to transfer restrictions on their PubCo ordinary shares, generally lasting 30 days for sponsor related shares and 180 days for other shareholders, subject to early release upon certain specified stock price thresholds or certain change-of-control events. |
| ● | Registration Rights Agreement: PubCo will enter into a registration rights agreement with certain shareholders of SINGAUTO and BPAC, pursuant to which such shareholders will be provided demand and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. All expenses of registration will be paid by PubCo. |
| ● | IP Cooperation Agreement: SINGAUTO is required to enter into the IP cooperation agreement, in a form acceptable to BPAC, within a specified period. |
NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. For the period from April 9, 2026 (Inception) to May 31, 2026, the Company’s reported net loss of $4,200. As of May 31, 2026, the Company had no cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital deficit of $4,200.
The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to reduce or eliminate its net loss for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
F-39
NEOCRYO INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION (cont.)
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The interim results for the period from April 9, 2026 (Inception) to May 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. As of May 31, 2026, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the period presented.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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 May 31, 2026, 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
F-40
NEOCRYO INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 4 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company evaluates the existence of commitments and contingencies as part of its financial reporting process. As of May 31, 2026, the Company is not aware of any material commitments or contingencies requiring disclosure or recognition in the financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor its operations and external relationships for any commitments or contingencies that may arise in future periods.
NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Parent has paid certain organizational and operating expenses on behalf of the Company, including legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the Company’s formation and the proposed Business Combination. Such amounts are recorded as due to related party in the accompanying balance sheet.
The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand. As of May 31, 2026, amounts due to the Parent totaled $4,200.
NOTE 6 — SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT
Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. As of May 31, 2026, the Company had issued one ordinary share without consideration.
NOTE 7 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 1 — Nature of Business and Organization
(a) Incorporation and principal activities
SINGAUTO Inc. (“SINGAUTO”, or the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated on July 7, 2023, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company commenced operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore and the UAE (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

The Company’s key activities include: a) Forward development of full new-energy intelligent refrigerated vehicles (e.g., the SINGAUTO S1), b) Integrated hardware-and-software solutions: on-board IoT systems, remote temperature control, connected-vehicle platforms, OTA updates, and driver-assistance technologies, c) Value-added services: data subscriptions, financing solutions, and cold-chain logistics optimization, and, d) Business-model transformation: shifting from traditional vehicle sales to a comprehensive service model that combines hardware, software subscriptions and data services.
As of March 31, 2026, the details of the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:
| Name of Entity | Date of Incorporation |
Place of Incorporation |
% Ownership | Principal Activities | ||||
| Parent company: | ||||||||
| SINGAUTO KY Limited | January 15, 2025 | British Virgin Islands | 100% | Investment holding | ||||

(b) Acquisition of a subsidiary under common control
In September 2025, SINGAUTO Inc acquired 100% of equity interest in SINGAUTO MANUFACTURING L.L.C-S.P.C.(SAM). For all periods presented, the Company and SAM were both under the control of Mr Liu Yuqiang who was the Company’ controlling shareholder, this transaction was accounted for as a combination of commonly controlled entities and accounted for as if the acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with no gain or loss being recognized. In accordance with ASC 805-50, the assets and liabilities and operations of the Company and SAM were combined at their historical carrying amounts, and all periods presented were adjusted as if the entities had always been combined since August 30, 2024.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
Singauto Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, China in August 2023 (“Singauto HK”), and its wholly owned subsidiary Xinshiya (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a company established in the People’s Republic of China in June 2025 (“Xinshiya Shanghai”), were subsidiaries of the Group prior to March 2026.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidations were prepared on a historical cost basis, without fair value.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Group and on various other assumptions that the Group believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates of expected credit losses, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and other provisions and contingencies. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and as such, differences could be material to these consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency is U.S. dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currencies of the subsidiaries in Singapore and the UAE are the Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) and United Arab Emirates Dirham (“AED”), respectively. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end closing exchange rates; equity at historical rates; and income and expense items at average rates for the year. Translation differences arising from intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation with any residual foreign exchange variance recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Translation adjustments on standalone subsidiary statements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses resulting from those foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following exchange rates were used in preparing the consolidated financial statements which are based on the exchange rates set forth in the statistical release of XE.com.
| March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Year-end spot rate | ||||||||
| SGD | 1.2901 | 1.3445 | ||||||
| AED | 3.6725 | 3.6697 | ||||||
| For the Year Ended March 31, 2026 | For the Year Ended March 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Average rate | ||||||||
| SGD | 1.2876 | 1.3380 | ||||||
| AED | 3.6725 | 3.6717 | ||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and deposits with original maturities of less than three months. The Company maintains bank accounts primarily in the Cayman Islands, the UAE, and Singapore.

SINGAUTO Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Prepayments
Prepayments are mainly advanced to suppliers for future events. These amounts are refundable if the events are not commenced and bear no interest. For any prepayments determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of services or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management regularly reviews the aging of such balances and changes in payment and realization trends and records allowances when management believes collection or realization of amounts due are at risk. Delinquent account balances are written off against allowance after management has determined that the likelihood of completion or collection is not probable. The Group did not record any allowance related to prepayments for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Deposits
Deposits consist primarily of security deposits paid to lessors in connection with the rental of office premises, land lease facilities, and other operational properties.
Allowance for credit losses
The Group’s amounts due from related parties and deposits are within the scope of ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). To estimate expected credit losses, the Group considers the counterparties’ creditworthiness, historical collection experience, and the absence of indicators of default or impairment. There was no credit loss allowance recognized for deposits as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and impairment loss, if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method after consideration of the estimated useful lives with 5% residual value. The Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Useful Lives | ||
| Furniture and fitting | 3 Years | |
| Office Equipment | 3 Years | |
| Computer equipment | 3 Years | |
| Motor Vehicles | 5 Years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, operating right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. There were no impairments of these assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Income Taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Current income taxes are provided on the basis of income/(loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period the change in tax rates or tax laws is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, its experience with tax attributes expiring unused, and its tax planning strategies.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carry-forward periods provided for in the tax law and during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. When assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Group considers possible sources of taxable income including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry-forwards, (iii) future taxable income arising from implementing tax planning strategies, and (iv) specific known trend of profits expected to be reflected within the industry.

SINGAUTO Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be computed in accordance with the related Singapore tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as income tax expense.
Leases (ASC 842)
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Group assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The Group elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less.
The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Group recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating right-of-use of assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Asset Retirement Obligations
ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” requires that the discounted fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) be recognized in the period in which it is incurred with the associated ARO capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the asset. The recognition of an ARO requires that management make numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as estimated probabilities, timing of settlements, material and service costs, current technology, laws and regulations, and credit adjusted risk-free rate to be used. The Company periodically assesses its operations and legal requirements to determine if recognition of an asset retirement obligation is necessary. The Company has identified a known asset retirement obligation associated with one lease of land-use-of rights. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 given the related costs are currently indeterminable. The related cost is unknown as the retirement plan involves the abandon of all the properties and equipment left in the land, while the Company has not commenced any construction yet in the land.
Mezzanine Equity
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are 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 the Company’s control) are classified as Mezzanine equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. According to ASC 480-10-S99-15, the Company used method a (the interest method) under ASC480-10-S99-15, for subsequent measurement, accreting the carrying value of the equities to their current redemption value as of each period end. The accretions to the redemption price should be charged to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against additional paid-in capital or in the absence of additional paid-in-capital, by charges to accumulated deficit. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, mezzanine equity was $2,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively.
Deferred Merger Costs
Deferred merger costs consist primarily of expenses paid to attorneys and others direct merger costs. Deferred merger costs will be charged against shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the merger. In the event the merger is not completed, deferred merger costs will be expensed as incurred.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of shareholders’ equity (deficit), except those due to investments by shareholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustment.
Loss per Share
Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Loss Per Share”, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares or resulted in the issuance of ordinary shares that would then share in the loss of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. In periods where the Company reports a net loss, the effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and is therefore excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation.

SINGAUTO Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Fair Value Measurement
The Group follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows
| ● | Level 1 – | inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 – | inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 - | inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |
The Group utilizes fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within the consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a non-recurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from (to) related parties, deposits and accrued liabilities and other payables approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s operating lease liabilities approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because the discount rates used for the lease liabilities approximate market interest rates.
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, a shareholder, or a related corporation.
Commitments and contingencies
The Group adheres to ASC 450, “Contingencies” for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of commitments and contingencies. Contingencies, representing uncertainties related to potential liabilities or gains stemming from past events, are evaluated based on available information, legal counsel advice, and historical experience. The Group records accruals for losses when it is probable and reasonably estimate.
Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of equipment depreciation expenses, advertisement expenses and other entertainment expenses.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee related expenses for administrative functions, equipment depreciation expenses, professional service expenses, rental and other general corporate related expenses.
Research and development (R&D) expenses
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including equipment depreciation expense, professional consulting service fees, and technical service fees. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.
Segment reporting
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Group’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Group’s business segments.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2023-07 – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for reportable segments in annual and interim consolidated financial statements, including additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has early adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended March 31, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
F-52
SINGAUTO Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The chief executive officer is identified as the CODM. The CODM reviews the financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole, hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company’s CODM uses net loss as the measures of segment profit or loss. There are no reconciling items or adjustments between segment loss and net loss as presented in our statements of operations. Significant segment expenses are research and development expenses, which is consistent with those reported on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As the main business are all performed in Singapore, no geographical segments are presented. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the segment results and therefore such information is not presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. For public business entities (PBEs), the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities (i.e. non-PBEs), the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on financial statements requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and introduces a practical expedient available for all entities and an accounting policy election available for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient. These changes apply to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. This simplifies the estimation process for short-term financial assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued this ASU to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs, primarily by simplifying the requirements to capitalize software development costs. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2028 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. In December 2025, the FASB issued this ASU to establish authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2029 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Concentration Risk
1) Concentration of credit risk
Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents of $ 45,022,608 were deposited in financial institutions in Cayman, Singapore, and the UAE. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash and cash equivalent deposits with large financial institutions in Cayman, Singapore, and the UAE, which management believes are of high credit quality and the Company also continually monitors their credit worthiness. Bank balances placed in current accounts in Singapore are considered safe due to strong regulatory oversight by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”), which ensures banks maintain sound financial and risk management practices. Additionally, deposits are protected by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (“SDIC”) for up to SGD 100,000 (equivalent to approximately USD 75,000) per depositor per Deposit Insurance Scheme member. Bank balances placed in current accounts in the UAE and Caymen Islands are subject to regulatory oversight by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (“CBUAE”) and Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”) respectively, which requires banks to maintain adequate capital adequacy and liquidity standards. Deposits held with banks licensed in the UAE are protected under the UAE’s deposit protection framework administered by the UAE Banks Federation in coordination with the CBUAE.
The Company’s operations are carried out in Singapore and the UAE. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in Singapore and the UAE as well as by the general state of the Singapore and the UAE’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation among other factors.
2) Foreign currency risk
Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities that were conducted through subsidiaries in Singapore and the UAE, and related assets and liabilities are denominated in SGD and AED, which are not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the MAS and CBUAE or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by MAS and CBUAE. Approval of foreign currency payments by the MAS and CBUAE or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of SGD and AED are subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in Singapore and the UAE Foreign Exchange Trading System market.
3) Concentration of supplier risk
For the year ended March 31, 2026, there were 2 vendors accounted for 10% or more of the Group’s total purchase. Total purchase from vendor A and vendor B accounted for 42.9% and 14.9% of the Group’s total purchase for the year ended March 31, 2026, respectively.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, there were 2 vendors accounted for 10% or more of the Group’s total purchase. Total purchase from vendor C and vendor D accounted for 30.9% and 26.9% of the Group’s total purchase for the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

NOTE 9 — MEZZANINE EQUITY
On December 26, 2023 and January 15, 2024, the Company entered into two share purchase agreements with two third-party investors, upon which the investors shall have an option to require the Company to repurchase all of the ordinary shares if after 3 years since the closing it fails to become publicly listed.
The Company received total investment proceeds of $2 million. These redeemable ordinary shareholders possess the same rights as non-redeemable ordinary shareholders of the Company, including voting rights, dividend rights, and the right to access financial statements.
As these ordinary shares are contingently redeemable, they are classified as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
On March 9, 2026, the 2,500,000 ordinary shares were finally issued to the investors. For accounting purposes, the ordinary shares have been treated as outstanding upon receipt of the investment proceeds.
For each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the ordinary shares are currently redeemable and if the ordinary shares are not currently redeemable, the Company further assesses whether it is probable that the equity will become redeemable. The Company concluded that the ordinary shares is not currently redeemable, but with the potential become redeemable. As such, the Company accretes the mezzanine equity to its redemption value, which is the issuance price of $2,000,000 as no interest or dividend were stipulated in the share purchase agreements.
There was no remeasurement of the carrying value to redemption value for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as the aggregate carrying value of $2,000,000 (2,500,000 shares multiplied by $0.80 per share redemption price) remained unchanged throughout both periods.

The Group measures deferred tax assets based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets at the applicable tax rates. Components of the Group’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Depreciation and amortisation | $ | 56,661 | $ | 4,615 | ||||

Movement of the Group’s valuation allowance of deferred tax assets during the years is as follows:
| As of March 31, 2026 | As of March 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Balance at beginning of the year | $ | 4,615 | $ | 282 | ||||
| Additions | 52,046 | 4,333 | ||||||
| Balance at end of the year | $ | 56,661 | $ | 4,615 | ||||
The Group considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Group’s experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a more-likely-than-not threshold.
Under the applicable accounting standards, the Group has considered the Group’s history of losses and the uncertainty regarding the future profitability and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Group will not generate future taxable income to utilize the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, a full valuation allowance of $56,661 and $4,615 has been established respectively.
The Group evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Group did not have any unrecognized uncertain tax positions and the Group does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses.
The Group’s major tax jurisdiction is Singapore. The statute of limitations in Singapore is four years from the year of assessment but does not apply where there has been fraud or wilful default by the taxpayer.

Purchaser as the surviving corporation after the Reincorporation Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation”.
2.2Reincorporation Merger Effective Time. On a date no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Article X that are required to be satisfied prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Reincorporation Merger to be consummated by approving, executing and filing the plan of merger (and any other documents required by the Cayman Companies Act) (collectively, the “CRPM”) with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Registrar”), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. The effective time of Reincorporation Merger shall be the date that the CRPM has been accepted by the Cayman Registrar, or such later time as specified in the CRPM (provided that any such later time shall be a time permitted under the Cayman Companies Act) being the “Reincorporation Merger Effective Time.”
2.3Effect of Reincorporation Merger. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, the effect of Reincorporation Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the CRPM and the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Parent, including the issued and outstanding shares of the Merger Sub held by Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Parent set forth in this Agreement or any other outstanding agreement to which Parent is a party to be performed after the Closing, and all securities of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Section 2.6 hereof shall be listed on Nasdaq (on which the Parent Ordinary Shares were trading prior to Reincorporation Merger).
2.4Charter Documents. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of Parent or Purchaser, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Purchaser shall be amended and restated so that they read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit E annexed hereto, and as so amended and restated, shall become the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation.

(a) Conversion of Parent Ordinary Shares.
(i) At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share (including the Parent Ordinary Shares from the Units Separation but other than the Parent Excluded Shares, Redeeming Parent Shares and the Parent Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into one Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Ordinary Share. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, all Parent Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, as evidenced by the register of members of Parent (the “Parent ROM”), shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Ordinary Shares (other than the Parent Excluded Shares, Redeeming Parent Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of Purchaser Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.7.
(ii)Each holder of Parent Ordinary Shares (other than the Parent Excluded Shares, Redeeming Parent Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) listed on the Parent ROM shall thereafter have the right to receive the same number of Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares only.
(b) Conversion of Parent Rights; Treatment of Parent Units. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, (i) all Parent Units will separate into their individual components of Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent Rights, and will cease separate existence and trading (the “Units Separation”), (ii) each issued and outstanding Parent Right shall be converted into one Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Right, and will cease separate existence and trading. Each of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable agreements governing the Parent Rights, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time. At or prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Purchaser Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the conversion of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights at the Closing.
(c) Cancellation of Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Parent. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, if there are any Parent Ordinary Shares that are owned by Parent as treasury shares immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time (the “Parent Excluded Shares”), such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor. In addition, as of the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, the one (1) share of Purchaser owned by Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion or consideration delivered in exchange therefor.
(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, none of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, Parent or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Annex A-1-9
2.7Surrender of Parent Ordinary Shares. All securities issued upon the surrender of the Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, and upon the relevant entries being made in the register of members of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of the Parent Ordinary Shares shall also apply to the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares so issued in conversion.
2.8Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities as the case may be, upon the affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.7; provided, however, that the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to execute and deliver a deed of indemnity in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates in the form required by the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
2.9Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Parent and Purchaser intend that the Reincorporation Merger will constitute a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to which each of Parent and the Purchaser is a party under Section 368(b) of the Code (the “Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment”). Parent and Purchaser hereby (i) adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Reincorporation Merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g), (ii) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3, and (iii) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority in connection with an audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of Reincorporation Merger for the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the Parent and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Reincorporation Merger is determined not to qualify for the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment.
2.10Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent and Purchaser, the officers and directors of Parent and Purchaser are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
2.11Dissenter’s Rights. No Person who has validly exercised their dissenters’ rights in respect of the Reincorporation Merger pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (each a “Parent Dissenting Shareholder”) shall be entitled to receive the securities of Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and (b), as applicable with respect to the shares of Parent owned by such Person (“Parent Dissenting Shares”) unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Companies Act. Notwithstanding anything herein, all dissent rights procedures under this Section shall be conducted strictly in accordance with section 238 of the Companies Act, and nothing in this Agreement shall require any party to take any action inconsistent with the Companies Act. Each Parent Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act with respect to the Parent Dissenting Shares owned by such Parent Dissenting Shareholder. If any Parent shareholder gives to Parent, before the Required Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained at the Parent Special Meeting, written objection to the Reincorporation Merger (each, an “RC Written Objection”) in accordance with Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Act:
(i) Parent shall retain full control of all strategy, negotiation and settlement of any Parent dissent proceedings;
(ii)Parent shall, in accordance with Section 238(4) of the Cayman Companies Act, promptly give written notice of the authorization of the Reincorporation Merger (the “RC Authorization Notice”) to each such Parent shareholder who has made a RC Written Objection.

(iii) unless the Parent and the Company elect by agreement in writing to waive this Section 2.11, no party shall be obligated to commence the Reincorporation Merger, and the CRPM shall not be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, until at least twenty (20) days shall have elapsed since the date on which the RC Authorization Notice is given (being the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under Section 238(5) of the Cayman Companies Act, as referred to in Section 239(1) of the Cayman Companies Act), but in any event subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1, Section 10.2 and Section 10.3.
2.12Redeeming Parent Shares. Each Redeeming Parent Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and shall thereafter represent only the right to be paid a pro rata share of the Parent Shareholder Redemption Amount in accordance with Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Parent.

Each of the parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Acquisition Merger is determined not to qualify for the Acquisition Intended Tax Treatment.

For avoidance of any doubt, after the Effective Time, each Company Shareholder will cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Ordinary Shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration Shares.
(b) Share Capital of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, the one (1) share of Merger Sub owned by the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without further action on the part of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, be converted into and become one ordinary share of the Surviving Corporation (and such share of the Surviving Corporation into which the one Merger Sub Ordinary Share is so converted shall be the only share of the Surviving Corporation that is issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). The certificate evidencing ownership of Merger Sub Ordinary Shares will, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such share(s) of ordinary shares of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Treatment of Certain Company Shares. At the Effective Time, all Company Ordinary Shares that are owned by the Company (as treasury shares or otherwise) or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Excluded Shares”) shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion or consideration delivered in exchange thereof.
(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, none of Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(e) Surrender of Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of such Company Ordinary Shares shall also apply to the Merger Consideration Shares so issued in conversion.
(f)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates for any Company Ordinary Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, PubCo shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities as the case may be, upon the affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.1(e); provided, however, that PubCo may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to execute and deliver a deed of indemnity in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates in the form required by PubCo as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.2Issuance of Merger Consideration Shares.
(a) No Issuance of Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Acquisition Merger, and instead any such fractional share that would otherwise be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

4.4Withholding. The parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, Treasury Regulations, or under any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including providing recipients of consideration a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholdings.
4.5Company Dissenter’s Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Cayman Companies Act, all Company Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Acquisition Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (the “Company Dissenting Shares” and holders of Company Dissenting Shares being referred to as “Company Dissenting Shareholders”), shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time, shall not be entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration under Section 4.1(a) and shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Company Dissenting Shares held by them determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.

| 2.1 | Subject to the provisions of the Act and these Articles about the redemption and purchase of the Shares, the Directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued Shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. No Share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Act. |

| 2.3 | Without limitation to the two preceding Articles, |

| (b) | the variation is made with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued Shares of that class. |

Effect of new Share issue on existing class rights
| 2.12 | Unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the Member holding Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with the existing Shares of that class. |

| 2.16 | The Company shall be entered in the register of Members as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However: |

If the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued, upon being entered in the register of Members as the holder of a Share, the Directors may issue to any Member: |
| (a) | without payment, one certificate for all the Shares of each class held by that Member (and, upon transferring a part of the Member’s holding of Shares of any class, to a certificate for the balance of that holding); and |
Annex B-7
| (b) | upon payment of such reasonable sum as the Directors may determine for every certificate after the first, several certificates each for one or more of that Member’s Shares. |
| 3.2 | Every certificate shall specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and whether they are Fully Paid Up or Partly Paid Up. A certificate may be executed under seal or executed in such other manner as the Directors determine. |
| 3.3 | Every certificate shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the U.S. Securities Act (to the extent applicable). |
| 3.4 | The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them. |
Renewal of lost or damaged share certificates
| 3.5 | If a share certificate is defaced, worn-out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to: |
| (a) | evidence; |
| (b) | indemnity; |
| (c) | payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and |
| (d) | payment of a reasonable fee, if any for issuing a replacement share certificate, |
as the Directors may determine, and (in the case of defacement or wearing-out) on delivery to the Company of the old certificate.
| 4 | Lien on Shares |
Nature and scope of lien
| 4.1 | The Company has a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether Fully Paid Up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to the Company by the Member or the Member’s estate: |
| (a) | either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and |
| (b) | whether or not those monies are presently payable. |
| 4.2 | At any time the Board may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article. |
Annex B-8
Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien
| 4.3 | The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met: |
| (a) | the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable; |
| (b) | the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and |
| (c) | that sum is not paid within fourteen (14) Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles, |
and Shares to which this Article 4.3 applies shall be referred to as Lien Default Shares.
| 4.4 | The Lien Default Shares may be sold in such manner as the Board determines. |
| 4.5 | To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale. |
Authority to execute instrument of transfer
| 4.6 | To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Lien Default Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. |
| 4.7 | The title of the transferee of the Lien Default Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale. |
Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien
| 4.8 | On a sale pursuant to the preceding Articles: |
| (a) | the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Lien Default Shares; and |
| (b) | that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for those Lien Default Shares. |
| 4.9 | Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4.8, such person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Lien Default Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The Board may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Lien Default Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal. |
Application of proceeds of sale
| 4.10 | The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Lien Default Shares have been sold: |
| (a) | if no certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or |
Annex B-9
| (b) | if a certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation |
but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Lien Default Shares before the sale.
| 5 | Calls on Shares and forfeiture |
Power to make calls and effect of calls
| 5.1 | Subject to the terms of allotment, the Board may make calls on the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to be by instalments. Subject to receiving at least 14 Clear Days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made, each Member shall pay to the Company the amount called on his Shares as required by the notice. |
| 5.2 | Before receipt by the Company of any sum due under a call, that call may be revoked in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. Where a call is to be paid in instalments, the Company may revoke the call in respect of all or any remaining instalments in whole or in part and may postpone payment of all or any of the remaining instalments in whole or in part. |
| 5.3 | A Member on whom a call is made shall remain liable for that call notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. He shall not be liable for calls made after he is no longer registered as Member in respect of those Shares. |
Time when call made
| 5.4 | A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed. |
Liability of joint holders
| 5.5 | Members registered as the joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the Share. |
Interest on unpaid calls
| 5.6 | If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid: |
| (a) | at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call; or |
| (b) | if no rate is fixed, at the Default Rate. |
The Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.
Annex B-10
Deemed calls
| 5.7 | Any amount payable in respect of a Share, whether on allotment or on a fixed date or otherwise, shall be deemed to be payable as a call. If the amount is not paid when due the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if the amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call. |
Power to accept early payment
| 5.8 | The Company may accept from a Member the whole or a part of the amount remaining unpaid on Shares held by him although no part of that amount has been called up. |
Power to make different arrangements at time of issue of Shares
| 5.9 | Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares to distinguish between Members in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares. |
Notice of default
| 5.10 | If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 Clear Days’ notice requiring payment of: |
| (a) | the amount unpaid; |
| (b) | any interest which may have accrued; and |
| (c) | any expenses which have been incurred by the Company due to that person’s default. |
| 5.11 | The notice shall state the following: |
| (a) | the place where payment is to be made; and |
| (b) | a warning that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited. |
Forfeiture or surrender of Shares
| 5.12 | If the notice given pursuant to Article 5.10 is not complied with, the Directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any Share the subject of that notice be forfeited. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. Despite the foregoing, the Board may determine that any Share the subject of that notice be accepted by the Company as surrendered by the Member holding that Share in lieu of forfeiture. |
Disposal of forfeited or surrendered Share and power to cancel forfeiture or surrender
| 5.13 | A forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Board determine either to the former Member who held that Share or to any other person. The forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition. Where, for the purposes of its disposal, a forfeited or surrendered Share is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share to the transferee. The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any Share in accordance with the Act. |
Annex B-11
Effect of forfeiture or surrender on former Member
| 5.14 | On forfeiture or surrender: |
| (a) | the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Shares and that person shall cease to be a Member in respect of those Shares; and |
| (b) | that person shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for the forfeited or surrendered Shares. |

| 12.25 | The instrument appointing a proxy to vote at a meeting shall not confer any further right to speak at the meeting, except with the permission of the chairman of the meeting. |

Board of Directors of

New York, NY 10017
Board of Directors of Blueport Acquisition Ltd:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of ordinary shares of Blueport Acquisition Ltd, a publicly-traded Cayman Islands exempted company (“BPAC”), of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such holders in the proposed business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”, or “Transaction”) by and among (i) BPAC, (ii) BPAC Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (“Purchaser”), (iii) BPAC Merger Sub 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of BPAC (“Merger Sub”), and (iv) SINGAUTO INC., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Company”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among BPAC, Purchaser, Merger Sub, and Company (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”), we understand that the Parties intend to effect the Business Combination whereby the following transactions will occur:
| ■ | BPAC will merge with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which each issued and outstanding BPAC ordinary share (other than excluded, redeemed or dissenting shares) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into one (1) ordinary share of Purchaser; |
| ■ | Merger Sub will merge with and into Company, with Company continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, as a result of which each issued and outstanding Company ordinary share shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, 120,000,000 Purchaser ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share, with an aggregate value equal to One Point Two Billion USD ($1,200,000,000) (the “Merger Consideration”); |
BPAC has retained Revere Securities LLC (“Revere”) to render an Opinion (the “Opinion”) to the Board of Directors as to whether, on the date of such Opinion, (i) the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to BPAC and BPAC’s unaffiliated public shareholders and (ii) SingAuto, together with its affiliated entities, has an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held by BPAC in its trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of BPAC’s public stockholders (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account), as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement.
We have not been requested to opine to, and our Opinion does not in any manner address, the underlying business decision of BPAC to proceed with the Transaction. In addition, we have not been requested to explore any alternatives to the Transaction. Furthermore, our Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategy that might exist for BPAC or the effect of any other transaction in which BPAC might engage. Revere has not participated in, or provided advice with respect to, the pricing determination, structuring or negotiation of the Transaction.
Revere, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, going private transactions, related-party transactions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, debt restructurings, private placements, related-party transactions, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

Annex C-1
Revere will receive a fee for its services as well as reimbursement of our expenses for such services. In addition, BPAC has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement, including the rendering of this Opinion.
In connection with the review and analyses performed to render our Opinion, we have, among other things, undertaken the following:
| (i) | considered our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as our experience in connection with similar transactions, and business and securities valuations generally; |
| (ii) | reviewed a draft of the Business Combination Agreement, dated April 14, 2026 and associated Transaction documents relevant to the Opinion, and assumed that the final form of the Business Combination Agreement will not differ from such draft in any material respect; |
| (iii) | conducted discussions with the Company’s management to better understand Company’s recent business history and business plans; |
| (iv) | reviewed publicly available financial information of BPAC filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks and certain reports on material events filed on Form 8-Ks between the date of its IPO and as of the date hereof; |
| (v) | reviewed certain publicly and non-publicly available business and financial information concerning the Company and the industries in which they operate; |
| (vi) | compared the financial and operating performance of the Company with publicly available information concerning certain other companies we deemed relevant, including certain publicly traded securities of such other companies; |
| (vii) | reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the management of the Company relating to its business (the “Forecasts”); |
| (viii) | performed a public company comparable analysis of similar companies to the Company to derive certain forward multiple; and |
| (ix) | performed such other analyses and examinations and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate. |
In forming our Opinion, we have had full access to, and full cooperation from, the management teams of both BPAC and Company to ask questions and receive answers and have taken into account such accepted financial and investment banking procedures and considerations as we have deemed relevant. Our Opinion is solely and necessarily based on economic, financial and market conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof. We have not made any determinations as to legal matters related to the Transaction, and have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms described in the Business Combination Agreement, without any waiver of any material terms or conditions.
In connection with our review and analyses, and in arriving at our Opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and have not attempted to verify independently any such information (in accordance with reasonable industry practice). We have not made or obtained an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets, liabilities or solvency of Company.
With respect to certain financial information, including financial analyses and projections, relating to the business and prospects of Company that BPAC and Company provided to us, we have assumed that the financial information has been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting reasonable and good faith estimates and good faith judgments of the management teams of both BPAC and Company as to the future financial performance of the combined parties without and subsequent to a potential business combination. We have tried to apply objective measures of value in rendering our Opinion. You understand, however, that such a valuation necessarily is based on some subjective interpretations of value.

The base price per Share so established may be amended or adjusted in the absolute discretion of the Administrator, provided, that such adjustment does not result in a materially adverse impact to the Grantee. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, a downward adjustment in the base price mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be effective without the approval of the affected Grantee. |
| (c) | Exercise Procedure. Any SAR Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable within such time or upon such conditions as determined by the Administrator.

| (b) | Withholding Taxes. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Grantee to remit to the Company or the relevant Group Member an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements prior to the issuance of any such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash by the Company, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. |
| 13. | Corporate Transactions |
| (a) | In the event that the Company is subject to a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Administrator may in its sole discretion take one or more of the following actions (which need not treat all outstanding Awards in an identical manner) without prior consent of the Grantees: |

Such payment may be made in installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when the Award would have become exercisable or vested; or, |
| (v) | any other actions as the Administrator deems necessary. |
| (b) | Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another entity, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other entity or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other entity’s award or (b) assuming and/or converting such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other entity had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. |
| 14. | Restrictions |
| (a) | Non-Transferability. Excepted as permitted otherwise in the Award Agreement and in addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 15 thereof, any Award granted under this Plan and any interest therein shall not be transferable or assignable by the Grantee, other than by will or by laws of descent and distribution. |
| (b) | Exchange and Buyout of Awards. The Administrator may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Grantee, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Administrator may reprice Options or SARs (and where such repricing is a reduction in the Exercise Price of outstanding Options or the base price of outstanding SARs, the consent of the affected Grantee is not required). The Administrator may at any time buy from a Grantee an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including Restricted Shares) or other consideration. |
Annex D-12
| (c) | Privileges of Share Ownership. No Grantee will have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until such Shares are issued to the Grantee by entry in the Company’s register of members. After Shares are issued and the Grantee is registered in the Company’s register of members, the Grantee will become a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares; provided, that if such Shares are Restricted Shares, then any new, additional or different securities the Grantee may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a share dividend, share split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares. |
| (d) | Rights of First Refusal and Repurchase. At
the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement (a) a right of first refusal to purchase all Shares that a Grantee (or a subsequent transferee) may propose to transfer to a third party, provided that such right of first refusal terminates upon the Company’s initial public offering of its Shares, and (b) a right to repurchase unvested Shares held by a Grantee for cash and/or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness owed to the Company by the Grantee following such Grantee’s termination as a Service Provider. |
| (e) | Non-transaction. All Share issued to the Grantees pursuant to the Plan may be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that a Grantee make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require a Grantee to comply with the timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation. |
| (f) | Escrow. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is necessary in order to be in compliance with the Applicable Law; provided, however, to enforce any restrictions on a Grantee’s Shares, the Administrator may require the Grantee to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with other instruments of transfer approved by the Administrator, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated. The Administrator may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the Share certificates. |
Annex D-13
| 15. | Securities Law Registration and Restrictions. |
| (a) | Rule 701. The Company intends that as long as it is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and is not an investment company registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, all grants of Awards and Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of Awards shall be exempt from registration under the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and this Plan shall be administered in such a manner so as to preserve such exemption. The Company intends for this Plan to constitute a written compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701(b) promulgated under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise designated by the Administrator at the time an Option is granted, all Awards granted under this Plan by the Company, and the issuance of any Shares pursuant thereto, are intended to be granted to (i) persons who meet the requirement of a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”), in reliance on Rule 701, or (ii) persons other than persons who meet the requirement of a “U.S. Person”, in compliance with Regulation S or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act. |
| (b) | Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted to a U.S. Person under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and United States Department of Treasury regulations (“Department of Treasury”) and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section. |
| 16. | Effectiveness, Amendment and Termination of the Plan |
| (a) | Effectiveness. This Plan shall become effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (“Effective Date”). |
| (b) | Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan will automatically terminate ten (10) years after the Effective Date. |
| (c) | Amendment and Termination. Except as provided otherwise in this Plan, the Board may at any time (A) terminate or amend this Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or other instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan, provided that any amendment or termination that has a material and adverse effect on the rights of Grantees shall require their consents; and, (B) terminate any and all outstanding Options or SARs upon a winding up or liquidation of the Company, followed by the payment of creditors and the distribution of any remaining funds to the Company’s shareholders. |
Annex D-14
| 17. | Miscellaneous General Rules |
| (a) | No obligation to Employ. Neither the Plan nor any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to continuing the Grantee’s relationship as a Service Provider with any Group Member, nor shall it interfere in any way any Group Member’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without Cause. |
| (b) | Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Administrator, the submission of this Plan to the Board for approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Administrator to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of share options and other equity awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. |
| (c) | Joining a Competitor. Except as may be otherwise provided either in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Award, (A) All Awards (whether vested or unvested) shall be cancelled as of the date of termination of the Grantee as a Service Provider; (B) all Shares issued pursuant to any Award (or a portion thereof) shall be subject to repurchase by the Company at (x) the original purchase price of such Shares, or (y) the par value of such Shares, if such Shares are issued in exchange for services which shall be considered the original purchase price, or (z) the par value of such Shares, if such Shares are issued under Restricted Share Units; and (C) all proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Grantee upon any receipt or exercise of any Award (or a portion thereof), or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying any Award (or a portion thereof), must be restituted to the Company, if within twenty-four (24) months of termination as a Service Provider, the Grantee (1) directly or indirectly, establishes, incorporates, forms, enters into, or participates in the Business as an owner, partner, principal or shareholder or other proprietor of any Competitor, (2) has become, is or becomes an officer, director, employee, consultant, adviser of, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, enter the employ of, continue any employment with or render any services to or for, any Competitor, or (3) knowingly performs or has performed any act that may confer a competitive benefit or advantage upon any Competitor (in each case as determined by the Administrator). Any unissued Shares covered by such cancelled Awards and any issued Shares repurchased at the original purchase price or par value pursuant to this Section shall revert to the Plan and again be available for grant or award under the Plan. |
| (d) | Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. |
| (e) | Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. |
| (f) | Language. The official language of the Plan shall be English. To the extent that the Plan are translated from English into another language, the English version of the Plan will always govern, in the event that there are inconsistencies or ambiguities which may arise due to such translation. |

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as where it purports to provide indemnification against the consequences of actual fraud, wilful default, wilful neglect or criminal conduct. BPAC’s Existing Charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BPAC shall indemnify its existing and former directors, officers, secretary and certain other covered persons and their personal representatives against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons in or about the conduct of BPAC’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions. However, no such person shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of that person’s own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect. BPAC’s Existing Charter also permits BPAC, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to advance or pay legal costs incurred by an existing or former director, officer, secretary or other covered person in defending proceedings concerning BPAC or its affairs, on terms that such amount shall be repaid to the extent it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. We expect to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, and with certain other officers and employees (including officers and employees of our subsidiaries), which are expected to provide contractual indemnification and advancement rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 21. Exhibits.
| (a) | The following exhibits are filed as part of this registration statement, including those incorporated herein by reference: |

| # | Filed herewith |
| * | To be filed by amendment. |
| † | Schedules and exhibits to this Exhibit omitted pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 601(b)(10)(iv). The Registrant agrees to furnish supplementally a copy of any omitted schedule or exhibit to the SEC upon request. |
II-2
Item 22. Undertakings.
| (a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form. |
| (5) | That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (4) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (6) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of such undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
| (7) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (8) | (i) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form F-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. |
| (ii) | To arrange or provide for a facility in the United States for purposes of responding to such requests. |
| (9) | To file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 will not be furnished; provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. |
| (10) | To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. |
| (b) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
