Additional Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

In connection with the business combination by and among Pelican Acquisition Corporation (“Pelican”), Greenland Exploration Limited (“Greenland”), March GL, and Pelican Holdco, Inc.

Pelican will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination to Pelican’s shareholders as of the respective record dates to be established for voting on the Business Combination. The Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be voted upon at a meeting of the Pelican shareholders (the “Pelican Shareholder Meeting”). This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and other matters and is not intended to provide a basis for any investment decision or any other decision in respect of such matters. Pelican, Greenland, March GL, or PubCo may also file other documents with the SEC regarding the Business Combination. Pelican’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed in connection with the Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about Pelican, Greenland, March GL, PubCo, and the Business Combination.

Pelican’s shareholders and other interested persons will be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC, free of charge, by Pelican, Greenland, March GL, and PubCo through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Participants in the Solicitation

Pelican, Greenland, March GL, PubCo, and their respective directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Pelican shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. More detailed information regarding the directors and officers of Pelican, and a description of their interests in Pelican is contained in Pelican’s filings with the SEC, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on September 15, 2025, April 30, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on June 27, 2025, and the initial business combination offering filed on Form S-1, and effective as of May 22, 2025, which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about Pelican, Greenland, and March GL’s ability to effectuate the Business Combination discussed in this document; the benefits of the Business Combination; the future financial performance of PubCo (defined as the Greenland Energy Company, which will be the go-forward public company following the completion of the Business Combination) following the contemplated transactions; changes in the parties’ strategy; future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this document, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks, and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Pelican’s, Greenland’s, March GL’s, or PubCo’s views as of any subsequent date, and none of Pelican, Greenland, March GL, and PubCo undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Neither Pelican nor PubCo gives any assurance that either Pelican or PubCo will achieve its business expectations. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, PubCo’s actual result or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: (i) the timing to complete the Business Combination by Pelican’s business combination deadline, including after approval of applicable extensions and the potential failure to obtain such extension(s) of the business combination by the deadline if sought by Pelican; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreements relating to the Business Combination, (iii) the outcome of any legal, regulatory, or governmental proceedings that may be instituted against Pelican, Greenland, March GL, or PubCo or any investigation or inquiry following announcement of the Business Combination, including in connection with the Business Combination; (iv) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of Pelican’s shareholders or other interested persons; (v) Greenland, March GL, and PubCo’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in its officers, key employees or directors, following the Business Combination; (vi) the ability of the parties to obtain the listing of the PubCo’s common stock on a national securities exchange upon the date of closing of the Business Combination; (vii) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Greenland or March GL; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (ix) the unexpected costs related to the Business Combination; (x) the amount of redemptions by the Pelican public shareholders being greater than expected; (xi) the management and board composition of PubCo following the Business Combination; (xii) limited liquidity and trading of PubCo’s securities following completion of the Business Combination; (xiii) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions, including March GL’s expectations of receiving extensions on applicable licenses, (xiv) the possibility that Pelican, Greenland, or March GL may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (xv) operational risks; (xvi) litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on Pelican, Greenland, or March GL’s resources; (xvii) the risk that the consummation of the Business Combination is substantially delayed or does not occur; and (xviii) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings of Pelican with the SEC.
