General Information
Business:

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)

We intend to identify and acquire a business where we believe our management teams’ and our affiliates’ expertise will provide us with a competitive advantage, including technology, healthcare and logistics industries.

We will seek to acquire one or more businesses with an aggregate enterprise value of $700 million or greater, although, if we believe it is in the best interests of our shareholders, we may pursue a business combination with a target below that size.

Boral Capital, a global investment bank which he established in May 2020.

(Note: D. Boral ARC Acquisition Corp. I is set to price its SPAC IPO on Wednesday night, July 30, 2025, to trade Thursday, July 31, 2025, on the NASDAQ. The previous “withdrawal” notice has been updated – corrected from an opaque federal filing – in which the underwriter’s request to accelerate the deal was withdrawn – but the IPO was still in play to be priced Wednesday night, July 30, instead of being priced on an accelerated schedule.) 

(Note – Please note correction: D. Boral ARC Acquisition Corp. I withdrew its plans for accelerated timing of its SPAC IPO in a letter to the SEC  on July 29, 2025; this was not a request to withdraw the IPO. The language in the SEC filing was confusing.)

(Background: D. Boral ARC Acquisition Corp. I filed its S-1 for its SPAC IPO on April 28, 2025, and disclosed the SPAC IPO’s terms: 25 million units at $10.00 each to raise $250.0 million. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant.)
