SPAC Hall Chadwick Acquisition II files for a $265 million US IPO, targeting critical materials and infrastructure

April 21, 2026

Hall Chadwick Acquisition II, a blank check company targeting critical materials, infrastructure, and defense, filed on Tuesday with the SEC to raise up to $265 million in an initial public offering.

The company plans to raise $265 million by offering 26.5 million units at $10. Each unit contains one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant exercisable at $11.50.

The company is led by CEO and Director Alex Bono, the co-founder and CEO of GPU cloud rental provider ClustAI. He is joined by CFO and Director Aaron Dominish, a partner at Hall Chadwick. The SPAC intends to target high-growth companies implementing transformative technologies in global connectivity, sustainability, and infrastructure development, with a particular focus on businesses in critical materials, infrastructure, and defense-aligned technology.

Management’s previous SPAC, Hall Chadwick Acquisition (HCACU; +4% from $10 offer price), raised $180 million in an IPO last November, and is seeking a target in tech, minerals, and energy.

The Singapore-based company was founded in 2026. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol HCAXU. Cohen & Company Securities is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
