Filing Summary: HCM II Acquisition Corp., incorporated as a blank check company in the Cayman Islands, is pursuing its initial Business Combination through a merger with Terrestrial Energy Inc., structured under a Business Combination Agreement entered on March 26, 2025. The merger will involve HCM II Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HCM II, merging into Terrestrial Energy, which will continue as the surviving entity. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not yet selected any specific Business Combination target and had not engaged in substantive discussions with potential targets. The document outlines the Company's financial details, including current assets of $682,955 and total liabilities of $12,791,714, leading to a shareholders’ deficit of $12,078,676. It notes a total of 23 million Class A and 5.75 million Class B shares outstanding. The Company received $230 million from its Initial Public Offering in 2024, intended to facilitate the merger as well as future business operations. The ongoing operations are to be funded through interest income from marketable securities in a Trust Account, where funds will remain until the completion of the Business Combination. Notably, there is a risk of automatic liquidation if the Business Combination is not completed by August 19, 2026, raising concerns about the Company’s liquidity. Management acknowledges that financing may be required to continue operations and complete the merger.
