On August 19, 2024, HCM II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter of its over-allotment option (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
On August 19, 2024, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 6,850,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to HCM Investor Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,850,000.
A total of $231,150,000, of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants (which amount includes $10,720,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount), was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of August 23, 2024 reflecting receipt of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
