Business

Share of revenue
SPAC vehicle100 %

Blank-check company structure used to pursue an initial business combination.

Customers

The company does not sell products or services to end customers in the ordinary course. Its economic counterparties are investors in the SPAC, potential merger targets, and financing partners involved in a future business combination. The business model is therefore centered on capital markets execution rather than recurring commercial demand.

Public investors

Buy SPAC shares and warrants for exposure to a future acquisition transaction.

Target businesses

Potential merger or acquisition targets that may combine with the SPAC.

Capital providers

Backstop, forward purchase, or debt/equity providers that may finance a deal.

Strategy

The company’s core strategy is to identify and complete an initial business combination using IPO proceeds, trust account funds, and additional financing if needed. Its success depends on sourcing an attractive target, negotiating terms, and closing a transaction within the SPAC lifecycle.

Source and close a business combinationShort term

The company has no operating business until it completes a transaction.

Preserve financing flexibilityShort term

Additional capital may be needed for transaction costs and working capital.

Geography

Odysseus (Cayman) Ltd is organized in the Cayman Islands and its business activities are tied to U.S. capital markets through its public listing and transaction process. The company’s future operating geography will depend on the target it acquires, but at present its footprint is primarily legal and financial rather than operational.

Risks

The main risks are deal-execution risk, capital-raising risk, and the possibility that the company fails to complete a business combination. As a SPAC, it also faces dilution, regulatory, and market-risk exposure tied to public-market sentiment and the terms of any future transaction.
