Business Summary

Bayview Acquisition Corp is a blank check company, or SPAC, incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 16, 2023, with the sole purpose of effecting a business combination with one or more target businesses . The company has not generated any operating revenues to date and does not expect to do so until the consummation of a business combination . Its activities have been limited to organizational efforts, the initial public offering (IPO), and identifying a target for a business combination . The company generates non-operating income from interest earned on proceeds held in its trust account .

The core business model of Bayview Acquisition Corp is to identify and acquire a private company, primarily focusing on businesses in Asia, that can benefit from access to U.S. capital markets and the management team's expertise . The company seeks targets with compelling economics, clear paths to positive operating cash flow, significant assets, and successful management teams . It explicitly states it will not consummate a business combination with an entity or business with China operations consolidated through a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) structure . The company aims to create shareholder value by leveraging its management's experience in management, operations, and financing to improve operational efficiency and scale revenue organically or through acquisitions .

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Bayview Acquisition Corp reported net income of $202,599 . This was primarily driven by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account and bank interest income totaling $1,189,102 , offset by formation and operating costs of $986,503 . In the prior year, ended December 31, 2024, the company had a net income of $1,752,975 , with interest income of $2,780,145 and formation and operating costs of $1,027,170 . The company's cash and cash equivalent balance as of December 31, 2025, was $44,129 , a decrease from $93,620 as of December 31, 2024. Total current liabilities as of December 31, 2025, were $3,467,119 , up from $1,280,893 in the prior year, while total non-current liabilities, primarily deferred underwriting commissions, remained at $2,100,000 . The company had a working capital deficit of $3,414,654 as of December 31, 2025.

The company has undergone several significant operational developments related to its business combination efforts. On June 7, 2024, Bayview Acquisition Corp entered into a Merger Agreement with Oabay Holding Company, Oabay Inc., and other entities, outlining a multi-step merger process . This agreement was amended on June 26, 2024, to revise earnout milestones based on consolidated revenue metrics, specifically requiring consolidated revenue in excess of RMB 436,000,000.00 for fiscal year 2024 or total consolidated revenue in excess of RMB 1,019,000,000.00 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 combined, to trigger the issuance of 6,000,000 earnout shares . A second amendment on May 14, 2025, realigned the merger sequence, with Merger Sub 3 merging into Oabay first, followed by Merger Sub 1 merging into SPAC . A third amendment on January 21, 2026, extended the Outside Closing Date to June 15, 2026 . Shareholders approved multiple extensions for the business combination deadline, with redemptions occurring at each extension. On September 16, 2024, holders of 2,290,989 ordinary shares redeemed their shares for approximately $10.39 per share, totaling $23,803,376 . On June 17, 2025, 1,975,249 ordinary shares were redeemed for approximately $11.05 per share, amounting to $21,826,501 . A further 727,970 ordinary shares were redeemed on December 12, 2025, at approximately $11.62 per share, for an aggregate of $8,456,654 . The company has also received multiple delisting notices from Nasdaq for non-compliance with minimum market value of listed securities (MVLS) of $50.0 million , minimum market value of publicly held shares (MVPHS) of $15.0 million , and the annual meeting rule . An appeal hearing with the Nasdaq hearings panel is scheduled for March 31, 2026 .

Business Outlook

Bayview Acquisition Corp's primary objective is to complete its initial business combination, with an extended deadline of June 19, 2026 . The company has entered into a Merger Agreement with Oabay Holding Company, Oabay Inc., and other entities, which has been amended multiple times, most recently on January 21, 2026, to extend the Outside Closing Date to June 15, 2026 . The business combination is contingent upon obtaining required shareholder approvals and Oabay securing Transaction Financing .

A key growth area for the post-combination entity, Oabay, is tied to specific revenue milestones. The Merger Agreement, as amended on June 26, 2024, includes earnout provisions where 6,000,000 Earnout Shares will be issued if PubCo's 2024 Audited Financials reflect consolidated revenue in excess of RMB 436,000,000.00 or if the total consolidated revenue for PubCo's 2024 and 2025 Audited Financials combined exceeds RMB 1,019,000,000.00 . This indicates a strategic focus on achieving substantial revenue growth in the near term post-merger. The company intends to primarily focus on businesses in Asia that have compelling economics and clear paths to positive operating cash flow, significant assets, and successful management teams seeking access to the U.S. public capital markets .

Operationally, the company expects to incur increased expenses as a public company for legal, financial reporting, accounting, and auditing compliance, as well as for business combination expenses . Its primary liquidity requirements before the completion of the initial business combination are estimated to include approximately $200,000 in legal, accounting, due diligence, and other fees related to the business combination; $100,000 for legal and accounting related to regulatory reporting obligations; $120,000 for office space, administrative, and support services; $55,000 in NASDAQ continued listing fees; and $100,000 for miscellaneous expenses, including director and officer's liability insurance, general corporate purposes, liquidation obligations, and reserves . The company's management believes that the interest income earned on the trust account will be sufficient to cover its tax obligations .

The company's planned capital allocation involves using substantially all funds held in the trust account, including interest earned (less taxes and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete its initial business combination . Any remaining proceeds will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business, make other acquisitions, and pursue growth strategies . The company's founders or their affiliates may loan funds to cover working capital deficiencies or transaction costs, with up to $300,000 of such loans convertible into working capital units at $10.00 per unit .

The company faces structural headwinds and execution risks, particularly concerning its ability to complete a business combination within the prescribed timeframe of 30 months from the IPO closing , which has been extended to June 19, 2026 . The ongoing delisting notices from Nasdaq, including non-compliance with the MVLS Rule ($50.0 million ), MVPHS Rules ($15.0 million ), and the Annual Meeting Rule , pose a significant threat to its public listing status . Furthermore, the company's focus on Asia, particularly China, exposes it to substantial regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks, including potential government intervention, rapid changes in laws and regulations, and restrictions on foreign investment and currency conversion . The potential for U.S. foreign investment regulations and CFIUS review could also limit its ability to acquire U.S. target companies .

Risk Factors

Bayview Acquisition Corp faces material risks primarily related to its nature as a blank check company and its intended focus on business combinations in Asia, particularly China. The company has a working capital deficit of $3,414,654 as of December 31, 2025, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern if a business combination is not completed . There is intense competition for attractive target businesses, which could increase acquisition costs or lead to an inability to find a suitable target . The company's public shareholders may not have an opportunity to vote on a proposed business combination, and a large number of redemptions could make the company's financial condition unattractive to potential targets, potentially preventing the completion of a desirable transaction or optimizing its capital structure . The requirement to complete a business combination within 30 months from the IPO closing (extended to June 19, 2026 ) gives potential targets leverage and may limit due diligence . If the company fails to complete a business combination within this timeframe, it will liquidate, and public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, and rights will expire worthless . The company is also subject to Nasdaq delisting risks due to non-compliance with minimum market value of listed securities ($50.0 million ), minimum market value of publicly held shares ($15.0 million ), and the annual meeting rule . Its focus on Asia, especially China, introduces risks from unpredictable legal systems, rapid regulatory changes, government intervention, restrictions on foreign ownership in certain industries, and potential cybersecurity and data protection regulations . Specifically, the Chinese government may exert substantial control over business activities, and new policies could materially change operations or the value of shares . Exchange controls in China may restrict the use of IPO proceeds for acquisitions or limit the ability to utilize cash flow effectively post-combination, including dividend distributions to U.S. investors . Furthermore, the company's officers and directors have other business affiliations, which could lead to conflicts of interest in allocating time and presenting business opportunities .

Management Priorities

Management's message to shareholders emphasizes the company's commitment to completing a business combination, leveraging the team's extensive experience in financial services, accounting, legal, and operating companies across multiple jurisdictions, particularly in mergers and acquisitions. They intend to primarily focus on identifying attractive acquisition opportunities in Asia, targeting private companies with compelling economics, clear paths to positive operating cash flow, significant assets, and successful management teams seeking access to U.S. public capital markets. Management explicitly states that they will not pursue an initial business combination with an entity or business with China operations consolidated through a VIE structure. The strategic priorities include identifying a suitable target, successfully negotiating and closing the merger, and then improving operational efficiency and scaling revenue organically or through acquisitions for the post-combination entity. Management acknowledges the significant costs associated with being a public company and pursuing a business combination, estimating approximately $200,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, and other business combination fees, $100,000 for regulatory reporting, $120,000 for administrative services, $55,000 for NASDAQ listing fees, and $100,000 for miscellaneous expenses. They anticipate that interest income from the trust account will be sufficient to cover tax obligations. The company has extended its deadline to complete a business combination to June 19, 2026 , and is actively appealing Nasdaq's delisting determination, with a hearing scheduled for March 31, 2026 .
