Rising Dragon Acquisition RDAC

Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. The company was formed to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Its principal executive offices are located in the People's Republic of China and its sponsor is Aurora Beacon LLC. On October 15, 2024 the company completed an initial public offering of 5,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full adding 750,000 units and $7,500,000 of proceeds, and a private placement with the sponsor contributed an additional 254,375 units and $2,543,750.

Before a business combination the company does not sell products or services and generates revenue primarily from interest earned on the proceeds held in its trust account. The trust account initially held approximately $58,287,500 which includes an amount set aside for deferred underwriting discounts and accrues interest that may be released to pay taxes and up to a limited amount for dissolution expenses.

Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. competes in the special purpose acquisition company sector where numerous blank check vehicles seek to acquire private firms and take them public. It faces competition from other SPACs sponsored by financial institutions, venture capital groups and industry specific managers that also pursue target businesses across various sectors. The company’s competitive advantage lies in the China focused expertise of its management team and the strong connections of its sponsor Aurora Beacon LLC to the People's Republic of China. This expertise provides the firm with valuable insight into potential target businesses that have operations or significant ties to China including Hong Kong and Macau. In January 2025 the company entered into a merger agreement with HZJL Cayman Limited indicating its intent to complete a business combination with a target that has substantial operations linked to China. The management team’s background includes experience at international accounting firms, public companies and prior SPAC transactions which supports its ability to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities.

The company's investors are those who purchased its units in the IPO, over-allotment and private placement and who hold the securities awaiting a business combination. These investors include retail and institutional holders who seek exposure to the potential upside of a successful merger. On the other side the company seeks to serve target companies that desire a public listing, access to capital markets and the visibility that comes with being listed on a stock exchange such as Nasdaq. While no specific customer names are disclosed the target is generally a private business looking to go public via a SPAC merger.
