  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Your unexpired Public Warrants may be redeemed prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Public Warrants worthless.

    Outstanding Public Warrants may be redeemed at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a thirty (30) Trading-Day period ending on the third (3rd) Trading Day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption rights if there is an effective registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day redemption period or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a "cashless basis"; provided, however, that if and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise such redemption right if the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you (a) to exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (b) to sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants or (c) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Warrants.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    If the Company does not maintain a current and effective Prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, public holders will only be able to exercise such warrants on a "cashless basis" which would result in a fewer number of shares of common stock being issued to the holder had such holder exercised the warrants for cash.

    If the Company does not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such Warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a "cashless basis" provided that an exemption from registration is available. As a result, the number of warrant shares that a holder will receive upon exercise of its public warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised its warrant for cash. Further, if an exemption from registration is not available, holders would not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and would only be able to exercise their warrants for cash if a current and effective prospectus relating to the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is available. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the warrant shares and thereafter use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to do so, the potential "upside" of the holder's investment in our company may be reduced or the warrants may expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that the Company is unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. If the issuance of the shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrants shall not be entitled to exercise such warrants and such warrants may have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their public warrants as part of a purchase of public units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of common stock included in the public units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the private placement warrants may be exercisable for unregistered warrant shares for cash even if the prospectus relating to the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not current and effective.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3
    We have incurred losses from operations and have not generated any revenue since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses, and expect that we will not generate revenue, for the foreseeable future, at least until our reactors become commercially viable, which may never occur.

    We have incurred operating losses since our inception, including an operating loss of $6,182 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and net loss of $6,982 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026 , the Company had cash of $22,217 thousand and accumulated deficit of $41,442 thousand; and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, negative cash flows from operations of $4,382 thousand. Although we recorded net income of $30,926 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, this was primarily attributable to non-cash gains of $31,846 thousand, $9,601 thousand and $5,262 thousand recognized upon the remeasurement of our SAFE liability, legal settlement liability and warrant liability respectively. Since inception, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur net losses and negative operating cash flow. We are still in our early stages of development and expect to continue to incur significant expenses, operating losses, and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future due to increase in expenses from historical levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the development of technology and factory and the development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses. To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any revenue unless and until we are able to commercialize our reactors and/or other lines of business. As we have incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception, and accordingly we have undertaken equity financing from investors to satisfy our funding needs; however, we may not raise adequate funding to offset our expenses and losses. Moreover, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. The magnitude of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate and grow revenue. We cannot predict the outcome of the actions to generate liquidity to fund our operations, whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity to fund our operations as currently planned or whether the costs of such actions will be available on reasonable terms or at all. Our continued solvency is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional working capital to complete our reactor development, to successfully market our reactors and to achieve commerciality for our reactors. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had and may continue to have adverse effects on our stockholders' equity (deficit) and working capital and may lead to the failure of our business.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 4
    There is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless.

    The exercise price for the Warrants is either $11.50 or $12.00 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 5
    The requirements of being a public company in the U.S. may strain the Company's resources and divert management's attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that result from being a public company in the U.S. may be greater than we anticipate.

    Requirements associated with being a public company in the United States require significant resources and management attention. We are subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the other rules and regulations of the SEC, and Nasdaq. We are also subject to various other regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board. 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, complying with rules and regulations and the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies requires substantial attention from our senior management, which could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. These cost increases and the diversion of management's attention could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may also need to hire additional personnel to support our financial reporting function and may face challenges in doing so.

    Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our common stock by us or our existing stockholders in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

    Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, including the resale of the shares of common stock held by our stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144, could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. All shares issued as merger consideration in the Business Combination are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act and without restriction by persons other than our "affiliates" (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), including our directors, executive officers and other affiliates. We have registered in this resale registration statement on Form S-1 securities held by certain of our stockholders who have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Business Combination. Registration Rights Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the registrable securities are entitled to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their registrable securities, up to a total of three such demands, and also have "piggy-back" registration rights. The sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock to decline. Significant sales of shares of common stock may have negative pressure on the public trading price of our common stock. The shares being registered for resale by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Prospectus represent a substantial portion of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding, based on the number of shares outstanding as of June 12, 2026. Certain of our stockholders, including the Sponsor, acquired their shares at prices substantially below the current market price of our common stock. For example, the Sponsor acquired Founder Shares at an effective purchase price of $0.00979696 per share. Certain of our stockholders may have an incentive to sell their shares because they will still profit on sales due to the significantly lower prices at which they purchased their shares. In addition, certain of our stockholders are subject to the Lock-Up Agreement, which restricts transfers of shares until the earlier of (a) six months following the Closing, (b) subsequent to the Closing, the date on which the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty consecutive trading day period commencing at least ninety days after the Closing, or (c) subsequent to the Closing, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction. Upon the expiration of the applicable lock-up periods, such stockholders will not be restricted from selling shares of our common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws, and a significant number of additional shares will become eligible for sale in the public market, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our directors and officers, our Sponsor and each of their affiliates have interests in the Business Combination and the proposals to be voted on by our shareholders in connection with the approval of the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to and/or in conflict with, those of our shareholders generally.

    Our Sponsor and our directors and officers have interests in the proposals to be voted on by our shareholders in connection with the approval of the Business Combination that are different from, in addition to and/or in conflict with, those of our shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things: - Our Sponsor purchased one Class B ordinary share for a purchase price of $0.0001 on May 8, 2024, and subsequently on May 31, 2024 purchased 16,999,999 Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, or $0.00588235 per share, in a private placement prior to the consummation of our IPO.?Following certain surrenders, forfeitures and dispositions, including a transfer of 175,000 Founder Shares on January 21, 2026 to a non-affiliated third party for $148,750, our Sponsor currently holds 9,932,246 Founder Shares. Our Sponsor also purchased 3,719,000 Private Placement Warrants for $58,060, or $0.01561 per private placement warrant, in private placements that closed simultaneously with our IPO. Our Sponsor is controlled by Dr. Avi S. Katz, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Raluca Dinu, a member of our board of directors (the "Board"), who share voting and investment discretion with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor. Drs. Katz and Dinu have an economic interest in 9,932,246, or 100% of the Founder Shares held by our Sponsor. - Given the differential in the purchase price that our Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of our Class A ordinary shares included in our units sold in our IPO, our Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on its respective investments even if the shares of the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock trade below $10.00 per share Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of our Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Shareholders because our Sponsor will realize a gain on its respective investments from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share. - Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by May 30, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our shareholders, such later date). If we do not consummate a business combination by such date, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, we are required to redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the warrants may be worthless. In such event, the 9,932,246 Founder Shares purchased by our Sponsor would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because our Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 3,719,000 Private Placement Warrants that our Sponsor paid $58,060 to purchase will expire worthless. - Our Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares or ordinary shares held by it in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination. - Dr. Avi Katz, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Raluca Dinu, Raanan Horowitz and Ambassador Adrian Zuckerman will continue as directors of Domesticated GigCapital7 following the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of Domesticated GigCapital7 (the "Domesticated GigCapital7 Board") determines to pay to its directors. - Our existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy for a period of six (6) years after the Business Combination. - In connection with the Closing, our Sponsor, officers and directors would be entitled to the repayment of any outstanding Working Capital Loan and advances that have been made to us. As of the date of this Annual Report, there is $148,000 in principal amount of Working Capital Loans outstanding to the Sponsor. - All members of the Domesticated GigCapital7 Board and all executive officers of Domesticated GigCapital7 will be eligible for awards under the equity incentive plan that will be submitted to our shareholders for adoption in connection with the Business Combination (the "New Equity Incentive Plan") and, thus, have a personal interest in the approval of the New Equity Incentive Plan. Nevertheless, our Board believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers and experienced directors, among others, by adopting the New Equity Incentive Plan. - Because we have certain provisions in our organizational documents that waive the corporate opportunities doctrine on an ongoing basis, our officers and directors have not been obligated and continue to not be obligated to bring all corporate opportunities to us. The potential conflict of interest relating to the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in our organizational documents did not, to our knowledge, impact our search for an acquisition target or prevent us from reviewing any opportunities as a result of such waiver. - Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, our officers and directors, our Sponsor and its members and certain other security holders named therein (including institutional non-managing investors) will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result of the foregoing interests, our Sponsor 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 that would be less favorable to Public Shareholders. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of our directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of us and our shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals that we will be making to our shareholders in our joint prospectus/proxy statement (the "Shareholder Proposals"). The financial and personal interests of our Sponsor, as well as our directors and officers, may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Hadron Energy as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Hadron Energy and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the Board to vote for the Shareholder Proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your public shares.

    We do not know how many Public Shareholders may exercise their redemption rights. If a larger number of public shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to arrange for additional debt or equity financing to provide working capital to Domesticated GigCapital7 following the Closing. There can be no assurance that such debt or equity financing will be available to us if we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels and may increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until we complete an alternate initial business combination or if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the time period provided by our governing documents under Cayman law (the "Cayman Constitutional Documents"). If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your public shares in the open market; however, at such time our public shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with your exercise of redemption rights until we liquidate, or you are able to sell your public shares in the open market.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase public shares or public warrants, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public "float" of the public shares or public warrants.

    At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding us or our securities, our officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into a written plan to purchase our securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. In addition, at any time at or prior to the extraordinary general meeting, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of certain proposals that will be addressed in the joint prospectus/proxy statement (the "Condition Precedent Proposals") or not redeem their public shares. They 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 or warrants in such transactions. The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (2) reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or (3) increase the amount of cash available to Domesticated GigCapital7 following the Business Combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of the Business Combination which may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our and Domesticated GigCapital7 securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our and Domesticated GigCapital7 securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. Our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the securityholders with whom they may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the securityholders contacting us or Hadron Energy directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by shareholders (in the case of public shares) following the mailing of the proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination. Our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will select which securityholders to purchase securities from based on the negotiated price and number of securities and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will be restricted from purchasing securities if such purchases do not comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws. To the extent that our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates purchase public shares in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5under the Exchange Act, such shares would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination. Our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will be restricted from making purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase public shares or warrants, 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 possibility that our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may purchase public shares or warrants outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;- if our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase public shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the redemption price for such public shares (the "Redemption Price");- any of our securities purchased by our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;- our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will not possess any redemption rights with respect to our securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and - we will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, before the extraordinary general meeting, the following material items: - the amount of securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates, along with the purchase price;- the purpose of the purchases by our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates;- the impact, if any, of the purchases by our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;- the identities of the security holders who sold to our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our Sponsor, our or Hadron Energy's directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates; and - the number of public shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting. In addition, the public "float" of our public 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 our securities on a national securities exchange.

    Our shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and securities convertible into the shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock to the Hadron Energy stockholders as consideration in the Business Combination.

    Our shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock to the Hadron Energy stockholders as consideration in the Business Combination. Currently, our Public Shareholders and our Sponsor own 60% and 29.8% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, respectively. Based on Hadron Energy's and our current capitalization, (i) under the Maximum Redemption Scenario as described in our joint prospectus/proxy statement filed with the SEC in a registration statement on Form S-4 on November 12, 2025, it is expected that immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, our Public Shareholders will hold 1,884,263 shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock, and our Sponsor will hold 9,932,246 shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock. The former Hadron Energy stockholders (including Hadron option holders) will hold an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock (assuming (i) there is no aggregate indebtedness of Hadron Energy as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions). The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of Domesticated GigCapital7 immediately following the Business Combination on a fully diluted basis: Ownership of Domesticated GigCapital7(1)     No Redemption(2)     25% Redemption(3)     50% Redemption(4)     75% Redemption(5)     Maximum Contractual Redemption(6)     Shares     %     Shares     %     Shares     %     Shares     %     Shares     %   GigCapital7 Public Shareholders   20,000,000       12.73 %     15,000,000       9.86 %     10,000,000       6.80 %     5,000,000       3.52 %     1,879,133       1.35 % GigCapital7 Warrant holders   23,733,800       15.11 %     23,733,800       15.61 %     23,733,800       16.14 %     23,733,800       16.70 %     23,733,800       17.08 % Shareholders of Class B Ordinary Shares   13,348,133       8.50 %     13,348,133       8.78 %     13,348,133       9.07 %     13,348,133       9.40 %     13,348,133       9.61 % Hadron Shareholders(7)   100,000,000       63.66 %     100,000,000       65.75 %     100,000,000       67.99 %     100,000,000       70.38 %     100,000,000       71.96 % Total   157,081,933       100.00 %     152,081,933       100.00 %     147,081,933       100.00 %     142,081,933       100.00 %     138,961,066       100.00 %(1) This table makes the same assumptions as in the preceding ownership table, except that this table also reflects the 20,000,000 shares underlying the Public Warrants and the 3,719,000 shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and the 10,000,000 shares underlying the Hadron Options. In addition, Domesticated GigCapital7 has borrowed $148,000 in a Working Capital Loan that is convertible into 14,800 units that will consist of 14,800 shares of Domesticated GigCapital7 Common Stock and warrants for the purchase of 14,800 shares of Domesticated GigCapital7 Common Stock. In addition, although there is no intent to have any further Working Capital Loans, to the extent that there are any, up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate of Working Capital Loans can be converted into units on these terms. (2) Assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their GigCapital7 Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. (3) Assumes that 25% of maximum contractual redeemable shares, or 5,000,000 Public Shares, will be redeemed by Public Shareholders for an aggregate payment of approximately $53,216,050 based on a redemption price of approximately $10.64321 per share based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. (4) Assumes that 50% of maximum contractual redeemable shares, or 10,000,000 Public Shares, will be redeemed by Public Shareholders for an aggregate payment of approximately $106,432,100 based on a redemption price of approximately $10.64321 per share based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. (5) Assumes that 75% of maximum contractual redeemable shares, or 15,000,000 Public Shares, will be redeemed by Public Shareholders for an aggregate payment of approximately $159,648,150 based on a redemption price of approximately $10.64321 per share based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. (6) The maximum contractual redemptions scenario assumes that 18,120,867 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $192,864,193, assuming a $10.64321 per share redemption price based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. The Business Combination Agreement contains two conditions to the Closing which are that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including any as a result of any private placement equity financing of GigCapital7, although none is presently contemplated) (i) GigCapital7 shall have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, and (ii) the Available Closing SPAC Cash shall not be less than $20,000,000. The "maximum contractual redemptions scenario" represents the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed while satisfying the conditions mentioned above. The maximum contractual redemptions scenario assumes that 1,879,133 shares were not redeemed; therefore, leaving $20,000,007 in Available Closing SPAC Cash assuming a redemption price of approximately $10.64321 per share based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. (7) The figures presented assume that 10,000,000 Domesticated GigCapital7 Shares have been allocated for exercise of the Hadron Options and have been included in the chart above. (8) Figures presented on a fully-diluted basis to include the dilutive effect of Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, and Hadron Options. Based upon historical interest earnings on the funds held in the Trust Account, and after assessing likely future interest rates and the interest earnings that will be generated on the funds held in the Trust Account,the GigCapital7 Board at the time of entry into the Business Combination Agreement established a formula in the Business Combination Agreement for purposes of determining the number of shares to be issued to Hadron securityholders as consideration for the Business Combination that was based upon a hypothetical but approximately likely redemption price at Closing of $10.59, which amount has been exceeded due to the accrual of interest on the Trust Account such that, the redemption price is approximately $10.64321 per share based upon the amount of cash held in the Trust Account as of March 1, 2026. The actual redemption price for any lawfully submitted redemption requests will be determined at the time of Closing, and the forgoing is merely an estimate at this time. Based upon historical interest earnings on the funds held in the Trust Account, and after assessing likely future interest rates and the interest earnings that will be generated on the funds held in the Trust Account, the Board at the time of entry into the Business Combination Agreement established a formula in the Business Combination Agreement for purposes of determining the number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to Hadron Energy securityholders as consideration for the Business Combination that was based upon a hypothetical but approximately likely redemption price at Closing of $10.59. The actual redemption price for any lawfully submitted redemption requests will be determined at the time of Closing, and the forgoing is merely an estimate at this time. In addition to the changes in percentage ownership depicted above, variation in the levels of redemptions will impact the dilutive effect of certain equity issuances related to the Business Combination, which would not otherwise be present in an underwritten public offering. Increasing levels of redemptions will increase the dilutive effect of these issuances on non-redeeming holders of the public shares.

    There can be no assurance that the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing.

    We intend to apply to list the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols "HDRN" and "HDRNW", respectively, upon the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition (subject to certain exceptions), we are required to cause the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and Domesticated Purchaser warrants or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in our joint prospectus/proxy statement without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived or is subject to an exception and therefore the Domesticated GigCapital7 securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

    Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders.

    In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced 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 is less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its 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. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce our Sponsor's indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

    Our Letter Agreement with our Sponsor and our officers and directors may be amended without shareholder approval.

    Our Letter Agreement with our Sponsor and our officers and directors contains provisions relating to transfer restrictions of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants, indemnification of the Trust Account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the Trust Account. The Letter Agreement may be amended without shareholder approval. While we do not expect the Board to approve any amendments to the Letter Agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that the Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the Letter Agreement. Any such amendments to the Letter Agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, we entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with our Sponsor and Hadron Energy, pursuant to which our Sponsor agreed to vote its shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. Amendment of the Sponsor Support Agreement would require approval from us, Hadron Energy and our Sponsor, but would not require approval from our shareholders.

    If you or a "group" of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the public shares, you may lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our public shares.

    The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other Person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares, which we refer to as the "Excess Shares", without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the Business Combination. And as a result, you will continue to hold that number of public shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

    A Public Shareholder's decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account may not put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

    The price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock in the future following the completion of the Business Combination (or shares received or retained in connection with any alternative business combination) is not determinable as of the date of this Annual Report. Certain events following the consummation of the Business Combination may cause an increase in Hadron Energy's share price and may result in a lower value realized now than a Public Shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder redeemed their public shares. Similarly, if a Public Shareholder does not redeem its public shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, and a stockholder may not be able to sell its Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this Annual Report. A Public Shareholder should consult, and rely solely upon, the shareholder's own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

    If a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem the public shares in connection with the Business Combination or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering its public shares, such public shares may not be redeemed.

    Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a Public Shareholder may request to redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. As a Public Shareholder, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you: (a)(i) hold public shares or (ii) hold public shares through units and elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;(b)submit a written request to Continental, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the public shares for which redemption is requested, that we redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and (c)deliver your share certificates for public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC. Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 18, 2026, two (2) Business Days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting, in order for their public shares to be redeemed. Any Public Shareholders who fail to properly elect to redeem their public shares and deliver their public shares in the manner described above will not be entitled to have her or his shares redeemed.

    If we are unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by the date required in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such date before redemption from our Trust Account.

    If we are unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by the date required in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the proceeds then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable), will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, as further described herein. Any redemption of Public Shareholders from the Trust Account will be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the end of the completion window before the redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their Public Shareholders. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination.

    Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us upon redemption of their shares to the extent of distributions received by them.

    If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it were proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and us to claims, 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 it for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offense and may be liable to a fine and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

    The terms of our warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants.

    Our warrants were issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2024, between Continental, as warrant agent, and us (the "Warrant Agreement"). The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of our warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the public warrants. Accordingly, the terms of the public warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. We or Domesticated GigCapital7 may amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to effect any change thereto, including to increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares in us or Domesticated GigCapital7 purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

    The Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

    The Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law: (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. There is uncertainty as to whether courts will enforce the exclusive forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. In that regard, Section 22 of the Securities Act provides that federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over lawsuits brought under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. To the extent the exclusive federal forum provision for causes of action arising under the Securities Act restricts the courts in which claims arising under the Securities Act may be brought, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision. Shareholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Warrant Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a "foreign action") in the name of any holder of our warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an "enforcement action"), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder's counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder. This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

    We are an emerging growth company ("EGC") within the meaning of the Securities Act and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to "emerging growth companies" or "smaller reporting companies," this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

    We are an EGC within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, registration statements and proxy statements, and exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We will remain an EGC until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the IPO, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of the Company common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs 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-EGCs but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Even after we no longer qualify as an EGC, we may still qualify as a "smaller reporting company," which would allow us to continue to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, registration statements and proxy statements. Moreover, smaller reporting companies may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K. For so long as we are a smaller reporting company and not classified as an "accelerated filer" or "large accelerated filer" pursuant to SEC rules, we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities, and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

    The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of our Class A ordinary shares and our warrants.

    The Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, i.e., an F Reorganization. If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder of our Class A ordinary shares or our warrants generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to our Class A ordinary shares or our warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock or Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our Class A ordinary shares or our warrants surrendered. Additionally, Non-U.S. Holders may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock after the Domestication. Assuming that the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. Holders generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Domestication, and, as a result: - a U.S. Holder who is a 10% U.S. Shareholder on the date of the Domestication generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by us the "all earnings and profits amount" (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the Class A ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. Holder;- a U.S. Holder whose Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder generally will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its GigCapital7 Class A ordinary shares as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its Class A ordinary shares for Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by us the "all earnings and profits" amount (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to such U.S. Holder's Class A ordinary shares; and - a U.S. Holder whose Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder, generally will not recognize any gain or loss or include any part of our earnings and profits in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication. Additionally, even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates) generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose, under a proposed Treasury Regulation that generally treats an "option" to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, exchanging our warrants for Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. We believe that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of our Class A ordinary shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of our Class A ordinary shares for Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder's Class A ordinary shares. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. These proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges our warrants for Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants; under current law, however, the elections mentioned above do not apply to our warrants. Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of us. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form,and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

    The warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock.

    We issued 20,000,000 public warrants to purchase 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of the public units offered in the IPO, and in connection with the closing of the IPO, we issued in private placements an aggregate of 3,719,000 Private Placement Warrants. In addition, our Sponsor may convert up to $1,500,000 of any Working Capital Loans made to GigCapital7 at the option of the lender. As of the date of this Annual Report, our Sponsor has loaned $148,000 in principal amount of Working Capital Loans to us. The Working Capital Loan may be converted into 14,800 units consisting of 14,800 shares of Domesticated GigCapital7 Common Stock and warrants to purchase 14,800 shares of Domesticated GigCapital7 Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In addition, although there is no intent to have any further Working Capital Loans, to the extent that there are any, up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate of Working Capital Loans can be converted into units on these terms. Upon the Domestication, the Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants will entitle the holders to purchase shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock. Such Domesticated GigCapital7 warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares and may reduce the market price of the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock.

    The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Certificate of Incorporation will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

    The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders. The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in our name or right or on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or our Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or our Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in each case subject to such court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Furthermore, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, with respect to claims that are not internal corporate claims, stockholders, when acting in their capacity as stockholders or in the right of the Corporation, must bring any such claims only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, if such claims relate to the business of the Corporation, the conduct of its affairs, or the rights or powers of the Corporation or its stockholders, directors or officers, in each case subject to the applicable court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Domesticated GigCapital7 will be headquartered in California. Under a 2023 decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which is binding on lawsuits brought in U.S. federal courts located in California, forum selection provisions that require stockholders of Delaware corporations to file derivative actions or proceedings in the Court of Chancery are enforceable as applied to claims asserted derivatively under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and therefore will be respected, which may mean that no derivative claims under Section 14(a) can be brought in any court as the forum for such claims is restricted by the Exchange Act to U.S. federal courts. Another U.S. Court of Appeals takes a contrary position to that of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, and if the U.S. Supreme Court were to resolve this disagreement between the two U.S. Courts of Appeals against the decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, then any such derivative action under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act involving Domesticated GigCapital7 would be maintainable in a U.S. federal court notwithstanding the provision in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the exclusive forum provisions in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter, and, if an action within the scope of the forum provision is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware, such stockholder will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought to enforce the forum provisions and to service of process through such stockholder's counsel in the foreign action. In addition, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the U.S. federal district courts will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This federal forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or to any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

    Following the Business Combination, Domesticated GigCapital7 expects to qualify as a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and may rely on available exemptions to corporate governance standards available to a "controlled company" that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Domesticated GigCapital7 complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

    Domesticated GigCapital7 expects to qualify as a "controlled company" as defined under the Nasdaq rules because Mr. Gibson, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Director, will own more than 50% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding Domesticated GigCapital Common Stock following the Business Combination. For so long as Domesticated GigCapital7 remains a controlled company under that definition, it is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from Nasdaq corporate governance rules. As a "controlled company", Domesticated GigCapital7 is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including (i) an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors; (ii) an exemption from the rule that director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and (iii) an exemption from the rule that the compensation committee must be comprised solely of independent directors.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
