The company’s focus on high-growth, disruptive technology sectors such as AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity aligns with significant secular growth trends in global technology markets. The sponsor’s domain expertise and investment experience may provide an advantage in sourcing and executing a value-accretive business combination. The company’s capital base from its IPO and private placement provides financial resources to pursue sizable acquisition targets. Successful completion of a business combination with a technology-driven company could position the combined entity to capitalize on accelerating demand and innovation in these sectors.

The company has not yet identified or engaged with any business combination target, and there is inherent uncertainty and risk in completing a suitable acquisition within the 24-month timeframe. Competition from other SPACs and investors may increase acquisition costs or limit available targets. The company’s financial resources, while significant, may be limited relative to competitors pursuing large or highly sought-after targets. Failure to complete a business combination would result in liquidation and return of funds to shareholders, less expenses. Additionally, the company’s lack of operating history and revenues limits visibility into future performance and value creation potential.

As a blank check company, Proem Acquisition Corp. I does not currently have operating assets or competitive advantages typical of operating companies. Its potential competitive advantage lies in the experience and network of its management and sponsor team, particularly their expertise in technology sector investments and ability to source and support a high-growth technology business combination. However, the company faces competition from numerous other SPACs and private investors targeting similar acquisition opportunities, which may limit its ability to secure attractive deals.

• No Operating History: The company has not commenced operations and has no revenues, relying entirely on completing a business combination to generate operating results.
• Business Combination Uncertainty: There is no selected target or ongoing substantive discussions, creating uncertainty about if or when a business combination will occur.
• Competitive Acquisition Environment: Numerous other SPACs and private investors compete for attractive acquisition targets, potentially increasing acquisition costs or limiting opportunities.
• Financial Resource Limitations: While the company raised significant capital, its financial resources may be limited compared to competitors pursuing large or complex acquisitions.
• Liquidity and Financial Position: As of December 31, 2025, the company had a low current ratio of 0.08 and reported a net loss, reflecting its pre-operating status and limited liquidity outside the trust account.
