Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to EQV Ventures Sponsor LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 15, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). While we will not be limited to a particular industry or sector in our identification and acquisition of a target company, we intend to focus our search for a target business in the broadly defined energy industry, primarily targeting the upstream exploration and production sector.

On August 8, 2024, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 35,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $350,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of (i) 400,000 units, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Sponsor Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, and (ii) 262,500 units, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Underwriter Private Placement Units,” and together with the Sponsor Private Placement Units, the “Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Underwriter Private Placement Unit in a private placement to BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), generating gross proceeds of $2,625,000.

We have not yet selected any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Private Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from April 15, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”). We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $2,961,354, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,695,023 and change on over-allotment liability $598,539 offset by general and administrative costs of $332,208.

For the period from April 15, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $2,914,438, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,695,023 and change on over-allotment liability $598,539 offset by general and administrative costs of $379,124.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $875,919 in cash and a working capital of $195,431.

On August 8, 2024, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 35,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $350,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 Sponsor Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, and 262,500 Underwriter Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Underwriter Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,625,000.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (net, with respect to interest income, of permitted withdrawals (as defined herein)), to complete our Business Combination. We are permitted to withdraw 10% of the interest earned on the trust account to fund our working capital requirements and/or to pay our taxes, and such withdrawals can only be made from interest and not from the principal held in the trust account (“permitted withdrawals”). To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. As of September 30, 2024, $150,288 of the Trust Account balance can be withdrawn for working capital expenses.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (the “Working Capital Loans”) may be convertible into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units and the underlying securities would be identical to the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities of such Private Placement Units.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $30,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative support. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a Business Combination or the distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders.

The underwriter was entitled to $0.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $5,250,000 in the aggregate (the “Base Fee”). Of such $0.15 per unit payable as the Base Fee, $0.132 per Unit, or $4,625,000 in the aggregate, was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering (with $2,000,000 paid in cash and $2,625,000 used to purchase the Underwriter Private Placement Units), and $0.018 per unit, or $625,000 in the aggregate, is payable to the underwriter in cash in twelve equal monthly installments of approximately $52,000 each beginning on the first month anniversary of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An over-allotment fee, if any, is payable in cash upon each closing of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The over-allotment has expired and is no longer payable.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection (i) with our liquidation, (ii) if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and (iii) with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that we currently will only redeem our Public Shares. However, the threshold in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus Public Shares are required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. We recognize change in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We have two classes of shares: the (i) redeemable and non-redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024 in connection with the Initial Public Offering.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales

On May 22, 2024, the Company issued 40,000 Class A ordinary shares to each of its non-executive director nominees (160,000 Class A ordinary shares in total) in connection with their nomination as a director of the Company. These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. At September 30, 2024, there are 3,822,500 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

On August 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 35,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $350,000,000. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280048). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on August 6, 2024.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of (i) 400,000 Sponsor Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, and (ii) 262,500 Underwriter Private Placement Units in a private placement to BTIG, generating gross proceeds of $2,625,000. The foregoing issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we paid a total of $19,093,523, consisting of $5,250,000 of cash underwriting fee, $12,250,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $1,593,523 of other offering costs. Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the proceeds of the sale of the Sponsor Private Placement Units, an aggregate of $350,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the private placements as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
