Michael B. Hoffman, J.D., serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Translational Development Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: TDAC), a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or similar business combination. He has held both roles since May 2022, leading the SPAC from its formation through its initial public offering and into its announced business combination. Hoffman is also the founder of Stone Capital Partners, a private financing firm. Under his leadership, Translational Development Acquisition Corp. completed its IPO in December 2024, closing at $172.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale of 17,250,000 units (including full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option), with units priced at $10.00 each and listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "TDACU." BTIG, LLC served as sole book-running manager for the offering. The SPAC's board of directors, in addition to Hoffman, includes E. Premkumar Reddy, Curtis T. Keith, Matthew A. Kestenbaum, and Christopher Jarratt, with Avanindra C. Das serving as Chief Financial Officer. The company is headquartered at 151 W. 42nd Street, 49th Floor, New York.
Hoffman, age 75, has guided TDAC toward a significant business combination, having announced a deal on May 27, 2026 with a reported deal size of approximately $4.25 billion. The target company is ProLogium, and TDAC has publicly announced ProLogium's filing of its initial F-4 registration statement with the SEC as a key milestone in the merger process. TDAC also reported favorable share redemption results in connection with an extension vote, indicating continued shareholder support under Hoffman's leadership. While the available sources provide limited detail on Hoffman's full career history prior to founding Stone Capital Partners and TDAC, his J.D. designation and role as founder of a private financing firm suggest a legal and investment background suited to leading a SPAC through the complex regulatory and transactional process of identifying, acquiring, and merging with a target business. His track record with TDAC includes successfully bringing the SPAC public in a challenging market environment and advancing a multi-billion-dollar de-SPAC transaction with ProLogium, a solid-state battery technology company.
He has served as CEO since August 2022 and Chairman of the Board since May 2022, and is the founder of Stone Capital Partners with over 30 years of experience in global infrastructure investment, previously serving as a partner at Riverstone Holdings and Senior Managing Director at The Blackstone Group.
[Origin not recorded. Carried over from /people/michael-b-hoffman, a second record for the same person.]
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001290208 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 35 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 19 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
