Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp II Submits Form S-1 to the U.S. SEC for a Proposed $265 Million NASDAQ Listing

(SeaPRwire) –   NEW YORK and SYDNEY, April 29, 2026 — Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp II (“HCAC II” or the “Company”), a blank check firm established as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands, submitted a Form S-1 Registration Statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2026. This filing relates to its planned initial public offering (“IPO”) on the Nasdaq Global Market, where it will trade under the ticker symbol “HCAXU.”

HCAC II was founded to carry out a merger, amalgamation, share swap, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or other comparable business combination with one or more entities. The Company intends to focus on businesses that use transformative technologies to drive progress in the evolving areas of global connectivity, sustainability, and ongoing infrastructure development.

The Company plans to offer 26,500,000 units at US$10.00 per unit. Each unit comprises one Class A ordinary share and half a warrant. A full warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. Warrants will become exercisable once the initial business combination is finalized, as detailed in the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC. No fractional shares will be issued when warrants are converted. The underwriters have a 45-day option from the prospectus date to buy up to an additional 3,500,000 units to cover any over-allotments. Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, serves as the lead book-running manager; Duane Morris LLP acts as legal counsel for HCAC II, and Pipara & Co LLP is the PCAOB-accredited auditor. Listing remains subject to SEC review and market conditions.

The public offering will be conducted solely via a prospectus. When available, copies of the offering’s prospectus can be obtained from Cohen & Company Capital Markets at 3 Columbus Circle, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10019 (Attention: Prospectus Department) or by email at capitalmarkets@cohencm.com.

A registration statement for these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, before the registration statement takes effect. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, and no sale of these securities will occur in any jurisdiction where such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
