No redemption window has closed — but no dated redemption election is on file for this name either, so we cannot show you a date to act by.
What we do have: no window has closed, and the deadline we compute for it runs to 24 November 2027 — our arithmetic off the IPO date and the charter term, not a date any filing we hold states. That deadline is not itself a window you can redeem into. The full chain of evidence is under Evidence.
Change on the last daily close-0.1% day
That is $0.10 above the $10.00 of cash held per share as last filed. Everything above the cash is what the market thinks the deal is worth, and redemption does not protect it. Against our ESTIMATE of what the trust holds today — ~$10.17, the filed figure carried forward at the T-bill — the same price is 0.7% below the cash. That estimate is our arithmetic, not a filing.
In plain terms
- What it is
- A $207M SPAC from Hall Chadwick Capital LLC, listed on Nasdaq in November 2025.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed in May 2026 to merge with REEcycle, a rare earth elements recycling from end-of-life magnets company based in the United States. The deal values that business at about $400M. No date has been filed for the shareholder vote.
- What you should know
- We have no filed date on which you could claim the cash back, so we cannot tell you a day to act by. That is a gap in the public record, not a statement that the right has gone.

The two rows disagree about which side of the cash this price sits on. Both are arithmetically right — they divide by different cash figures. The filed one is what a document says the trust held on its date; the estimated one carries that same figure forward at the T-bill for the days since, which is our arithmetic and not a filing.
A deal has been announced. Before anyone can redeem, a merger proxy has to be filed — an S-4 or F-4 registration statement, or a preliminary proxy — the SEC has to clear it, and a meeting date has to be set. That meeting is where you redeem. No such date is on file with us, so there is none to show. The outside date we hold is 24 November 2027 — a contractual long-stop, not a date you can claim cash on. What an outside date is →
Yield to redemption
No dated redemption window on file — no yield to compute.
We hold no redemption election for this SPAC. The only dated event on file is the outside date on Nov 24, 2027, which pays a holder nothing — so no yield can be measured to it. An unsourced date would make the yield look filed when it is not.
What is protecting this price
The reasoning behind the verdict above, in the order the filings establish it.
- No dated redemption election is on file for this name. That is an absence in the record, not proof that the right has gone — but it does mean this page cannot tell you a day to act by.
- Cash held in trust is $10.00 per share as last filed. That is the figure a redemption pays out at, plus whatever interest the trust earns between the filing and the window.
- The charter runs to a date no filing we hold states; from the IPO date and the charter term we estimate 24 November 2027. Whenever it falls, if no deal closes by then the trust is returned to holders — a floor of a different kind: it pays out, but you do not choose when, and this one you should read out of the prospectus yourself.

What REEcycle does — read from reecycleinc.com on 25 August 2026
REEcycle is a private American rare earth elements recycling company focused on recovering rare earths from end-of-life magnets to bolster U.S. supply chain resilience. The company utilizes a patented, low-temperature extraction process to recover rare earth oxides from NdFeB magnets sourced from e-waste streams such as EV motors, wind turbines, and hard disk drives.
United StatesRare Earth Elements RecyclingE-Waste ManagementCritical Minerals Supply ChainREEcycle Holdings, Inc. is a Houston-based rare earth element (REE) recycling company founded in 2012 by Cassandra Leeman, Casey McNeil, and Susan Bohuslav, with its core intellectual property rooted in research conducted at the University of Houston. The company specializes in recovering rare earth elements — neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium — from end-of-life NdFeB permanent magnets found in discarded hard disk drives, decommissioned defense equipment, EV motors, wind turbine generators, and industrial machinery. Its patented hydrometallurgical process selectively dissolves, separates, and recovers REEs from complex magnet alloys at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure, achieving up to 99.8% separation and recovery efficiency while producing minimal waste. The resulting mixed rare earth oxide is sold to OEMs for separation and metallization, re-entering domestic production for new NdFeB magnets used in clean energy and defense applications. REEcycle also developed a proprietary Drive Disassembly Machine capable of processing over 25,000 hard disk drives per month without shredding, enabling it to source feedstock from established U.S. e-waste streams and provide feedstock partners with new revenue from materials previously sold as scrap.
The company operates in the critical minerals and environmental services sector, addressing what it describes as a national security vulnerability: China controls approximately 85 to 95 percent of global rare earth magnet processing, and the United States has no meaningful domestic rare earth separation and refining capacity at commercial scale outside of Chinese-controlled entities. REEcycle positions itself as the only U.S. recycler profitably extracting REEs from NdFeB magnets, with zero domestic competitors in its specific niche. Its customer base includes U.S. defense primes, EV manufacturers, and technology companies seeking to de-risk Chinese mineral exposure and qualify as domestic source suppliers under the Defense Production Act and Buy American provisions. The global REE market is projected to grow from roughly $19 billion in 2025 to $36.7 billion by 2034, with demand for rare earth magnets growing over 30 percent annually, driven by EV adoption, wind energy buildout, and defense modernization.
REEcycle has been backed by a combination of government grants and private investment, including funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation, accelerator programs, and Foxglove Capital. It was acquired by Australian private company REEgenerate Pty Ltd in April 2022, which exercised an option to take 100 percent ownership. The company has received $5.1 million in non-dilutive funding from the U.S. Department of War (formerly Department of Defense), with $4.3 million remaining and disbursed monthly against spend, and is positioned to access further federal support through the Inflation Reduction Act and Defense Production Act. REEcycle is commissioning a demonstration plant in Oklahoma designed for 6 to 8 tonnes of rare earth oxides annually, with an engineering study underway for a 100-tonne-per-year commercial facility targeted for 2027. The company has approximately 7 employees and has been generating revenue. The combined public company is expected to be led by Mick McMullen as executive chairman, who previously led mining companies including MAC Copper and Detour Gold, with Casey McNeil and Fermin Olivan serving as CEOs.
REEcycle is going public via a $400 million all-stock SPAC merger with Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: HCAC), a blank-check company formed by Australian advisory firm Hall Chadwick that raised approximately $207 million in its November 2025 IPO and targeted the technology, critical materials, and energy sectors. The transaction, announced on June 1, 2026, values REEcycle at $400 million in total equity consideration, including up to $50 million contingent on achieving an annualized run rate of 50 metric tonnes per annum of mixed rare

The company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. is a Cayman Islands-exempted blank check company formed to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The company, which may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry, is headquartered in Grand Cayman with its principal executive office in Singapore. Its initial public offering closed on November 21, 2025, raising $180,000,000 through the sale of 18,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "HCACU," with Class A ordinary shares and Share Rights trading separately under the symbols "HCAC" and "HCACR," respectively. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a Class A ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination. The underwriters held a 45-day over-allotment option for up to 2,700,000 additional units. Of the offering proceeds, $180,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) was placed into a U.S.-based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer Trust Company acting as trustee.
The company's sponsor, a Cayman Islands exempted company, purchased 7,883,293 Class B founder shares for an aggregate $25,000 and committed to purchase 380,000 private placement units at $10.00 per unit ($3,800,000) in a concurrent private placement. The sponsor intended to transfer portions of its founder shares to members of management, including 25,000 shares to CEO Alex Bono, as well as shares to Peter Beckhouse, Aaron Dominish, Greg Woszczalski, Chris Dirckze, and Craig Ransley. The company has 24 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate an initial business combination, after which it must redeem all public shares at the per-share trust amount if no combination is completed. Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. has announced a merger agreement with REEcycle, a deal valued at approximately $400 million.
Material findings
from the full read of every filingEvery document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.
Trust value per share ($10.22) exceeds the $10.00 redemption price, providing a small potential return for redeeming shareholders. The signed deal with REEcycle gives investors a specific target and timeline; execution risk remains high given the going concern warning and low working capital. The lack of any extension mechanism or additional sponsor support disclosed pressures the November 2027 deadline.
This filing establishes the full contractual framework for a de-SPAC transaction. Investors can now track key redemption mechanics (the $40M minimum cash condition creates downside risk if redemptions are high; the $207M stated trust balance provides a cash cushion; a PIPE of up to ~$50M is contemplated but not yet secured, making this a sign of execution risk if not raised). The sponsor has agreed to vote all its shares in favor and not to redeem. The $10.00 issue price and $400M valuation are now fixed. The investor presentation (Ex-99.1) provides management's first detailed projections, including revenue of $144M and ~54% EBITDA margin by 2029, though these are forecasts, not facts. The filing also confirms the nature of the target (a rare earth recycling company), its defense/government backing, and its technology path.
This filing establishes the definitive terms for the SPAC merger, triggering the redemption clock for public shareholders who must decide whether to redeem at the trust value of ~$10.00 per share or hold through the business combination. The $40 million minimum cash condition provides a floor for trust proceeds available post-redemption. The target is a U.S.-focused rare earth recycler with patented technology and Department of Defense backing, positioning it in a critical national security supply chain. Investors should monitor the proxy statement for redemption mechanics and deadlines. The December 31, 2026 outside date creates a clear timeline.
According to the press release, REEcycle is positioned as the first publicly traded pure-play U.S. rare earth recycling platform, recovering materials from end-of-life permanent magnets using technology sourced from the University of Houston. Company representatives state the demonstration plant in Oklahoma targets 6-8 tonnes annually, with a first commercial facility aiming for 100 tonnes per annum by 2027 at an estimated construction cost of approximately US$40 million per plant. The press release cites McKinsey & Company forecasting demand to nearly triple by 2035 and Grand Research Store projecting the global market grew to approximately US$19 billion in 2025 and will reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034. Executive Chairman Mick McMullen states REEcycle secured US$5.1 million in Department of War funding with US$4.3 million remaining, and notes his concurrent role at Metals Acquisition II, which recently raised $230m of cash in trust. These operational milestones, federal funding claims, and management backgrounds provide critical context for shareholder voting decisions ahead of the proxy material, alongside the explicit warning in the press release that the amount of redemption requests remains a key risk factor.
This 8-K advances HCAC from target search into formal merger execution, establishing an all-equity deal framework that fixes post-close capitalization, defines contingent share issuance triggers, and sets insider lock-up parameters ahead of the mandatory Form S-4 filing and definitive proxy solicitation. By anchoring transaction liquidity to the existing US$207 million trust balance and confirming the US$40 million net cash deployment goal, the filing provides the baseline metrics public shareholders will weigh when evaluating redemption versus retention during the upcoming shareholder vote. Concurrently, the disclosed pilot validation, federal funding drawdown schedule, and capacity expansion roadmap create the measurable operating benchmarks against which the commercial production milestone—and its associated 1,250,000 deferred share payout—will be evaluated.
This is the first public disclosure of a specific target (REEcycle) for the SPAC's initial business combination, signaling progress toward a deal. The $600 million valuation and the trust account balance ($209.6M) are key inputs for investors assessing potential dilution, deal structure, and the likelihood of completion. The filing also confirms the company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next year, reducing near-term going-concern risk.

Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish dated the submission May 11, 2026, and the registrant states via the filing that the departure 'was not related to a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.' This company-made representation aims to prevent market interpretation of the exit as operational friction ahead of the November 24, 2027 liquidation window. The document contains zero references to target-entity customer bases, revenue streams, market sizing, proprietary technology, joint ventures, active litigation, or compensatory packages tied to the outgoing fiduciary. Consequently, redemption pricing expectations, trust value preservation assumptions, and conversion ratio mathematics remain structurally intact, though sponsor governance density has decreased by one board seat pending any interim Cayman Islands corporate appointments.
This is a critical baseline filing. The trust is $207 million. The LOI with REEcycle ($600 million enterprise value) is a target identification item, but is non-binding. The limited working capital ($631k outside trust) combined with a $20k/month admin fee, the going concern qualification, and the lack of a minimum redemption threshold all signal potential vulnerability to high redemptions in a de-SPAC. The CEO's track record (a prior failed SPAC) gives extra scrutiny to deal execution risk. The non-managing sponsor investors (17 institutions) hold indirect founder share interests and have no lock-up on their public shares, creating potential for divergent incentives in a redemption vote.
Investors tracking redemption floors should note the valuation disclosure is mathematically tethered to no-shareholder-redemption scenarios; any actual tender activity will mechanically reduce post-combination public float equity and dilute the implied PIPE-to-pro-forma conversion. The non-binding status and explicit reference to a forthcoming Form S-4 registration statement indicate the transaction remains unsecured and subject to customary conditions, listing requirements, and potential termination triggers. The 60-day exclusivity clause sets the immediate event horizon for material updates: either movement toward a definitive merger agreement or a termination notification. Until those documents are filed, the deal's structural economics, anchor investor terms, and redemption voting thresholds remain provisional.
Investors tracking redemption calendars must recognize that undelivered audited financials suspend the final vote timeline and defer concurrent redemption mechanics until the full 10-K clears regulatory review. The Company attributes the holdup exclusively to financial statement preparation rather than accounting disagreements, auditor withdrawal, or internal control deficiencies, and asserts no significant change in results of operations from the prior year. The single-point executive contact listed is +65 9088264, with Alex Bono retaining signing authority, indicating centralized management oversight during the gap. The document contains no claims regarding customer concentration, revenue run-rate, addressable market size, technology pipelines, partnership agreements, pending litigation, or executive compensation. Consequently, sponsor conduct appears compliant with routine reporting obligations, though administrative pacing is slower than standard SPAC execution tracks. Until the 10-K posts, the trust balance remains untouched, warrant exercise terms stay dormant, and shareholders should monitor for a parallel extension notice to confirm the updated deadline.
Director turnover alters the oversight committee reviewing the pending business combination. Per the registrant’s disclosure, the Board appointed Mr. Hudson based on his extensive management experience in mineral exploration and mineral production companies. The filing specifies that Mr. Hudson has been involved in the resources sector for over 20 years, held board positions in Australian and Canadian listed entities, served as a founding director of Sendero Resources (TSX-V:SEND), acted as a founding shareholder of Sierra Madre Gold & Silver (TSX-V:SM), and currently sits on the board of Portia Resources Pty Ltd, which owns and operates the Portia gold and copper mine in South Australia as well as the Paratoo copper and rare earths project. The registrant further notes Mr. Hudson previously worked in corporate finance with both Credit Suisse and Arthur Andersen. For investors, this confirms the target acquisition pipeline centers on natural resource extraction, which will dictate environmental permitting timelines, commodity price exposure, and engineering diligence ahead of the November 2027 liquidation window. Mr. Hudson is expected to sign a standard indemnification agreement, a routine contractual update that preserves existing class action and derivative defense parameters without altering economic terms.
For the redemption calendar and trust mechanics, this filing establishes the baseline trust value at $207,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit), with a firm 24-month completion window closing on November 24, 2027. The underwriters contractually waived their rights to the deferred $8,280,000 commission if the company fails to complete a business combination within the completion window, ensuring those funds revert to the trust for pro rata distribution to redeeming shareholders alongside up to $100,000 of accrued interest for dissolution expenses. The sponsor and executive officers have contractually waived liquidation rights on founder and private placement shares, while agreeing to indemnify the trust against third-party claims that would otherwise reduce the trust below the lesser of $10.00 per public share or the actual per-share trust balance. Management states a redemption restriction prevents any single public shareholder or group from redeeming more than 15% of the Class A ordinary shares without prior consent unless the redemption occurs via a tender offer rather than a shareholder vote. Geopolitical risk disclosures cite ongoing volatility from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Israel-Hamas conflict as potential disruptors to target search and capital markets liquidity. Auditing firm Pipara & Co LLP issued a clean opinion on the November 24, 2025 balance sheet, independently valuing the public rights at $3,740,000 ($0.17 per right) based on a modeled 17.0% probability of de-SPAC, a 2.00-year expected term, and a 3.64% risk-free rate.
Unbundling units into distinct equity and derivative tracks introduces separate liquidity pools and pricing signals for investors monitoring the SPAC lifecycle. According to the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), the company 'expects to focus its efforts on the technology, critical materials and energy sectors.' The share rights are explicitly structured to entitle holders to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a Class A ordinary share 'upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination,' confirming they hold no independent exercise or cash redemption value prior to a merger closing. Class A ordinary shares carry a par value of $0.0001 per share. Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish executed the filing on January 26, 2026. Trust distributions and shareholder redemption windows continue to operate under the original charter terms unchanged by this submission.
This is the foundational filing that establishes the trust value ($10.00/share), the 24-month deadline (November 2027), the sponsor's ownership stake and lock-up terms, and all the key governing agreements. It resolves the pre-IPO structure and sets the baseline for all future redemption, extension, and deal-related filings. The document also identifies the target focus areas: technology, critical materials, and energy. The company's CFO is Aaron Dominish, who is also the managing member of the sponsor. Alex Bono is CEO.
Defines the SPAC's core terms: trust value, deadline, redemption mechanics, sponsor incentives, and risk factors. Investors need this to assess the likelihood of a business combination and potential dilution. The prospectus also discloses that CEO Alex Bono previously served on a SPAC that liquidated, and that no target has been identified.
The filing provides the complete terms of the SPAC IPO: 18,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive 1/10 of a share upon a business combination, with $180 million to be placed in trust. It details sponsor economics, redemption rights, 24-month deadline, and risk factors. The automatic effectiveness provision is a procedural departure that may affect timing and investor perception.
This is the third amendment to the IPO registration statement for a SPAC that has not yet gone public. The prospectus establishes the baseline redemption price of ~$10.00 per share, sets the 24-month deadline (starting from IPO closing, not from filing), and locks in sponsor incentives and lock-up periods. Investors tracking redemptions, extensions, or trust value need this document to know the starting terms. The filing also discloses that CEO Alex Bono's prior SPAC (FAT Projects) was liquidated in February 2024 after failing to close a business combination, which is relevant to sponsor conduct.
Corrects shareholder dilution and redemption math that previously masked true per-share economics post-offering; isolates redeemable public equity from sponsor/private placements for accurate liquidation analysis; clarifies control lineage and non-U.S. person exposure affecting regulatory oversight and potential SPAC combination scrutiny; establishes current board composition and nominee consents ahead of effectiveness, which gates merger timing and proxy solicitation; ensures EPS and tangible book value metrics comply with ASC 480 and ASC 260 accounting standards, preventing misleading investor valuations
These corrections determine how investors will model post-offering capitalization, pro forma net tangible book value, and redemption thresholds. If uncorrected, miscalculated denominators and misplaced share categories would distort ownership dilution and effective redemption pricing at the business combination vote. Reconciling sponsor control and director nominee status clarifies governance structures and voting power distribution ahead of deal execution. While the SEC’s feedback stalls prospectus effectiveness until compliant amendments are filed, it does not alter the announced November 24, 2027 deadline or existing trust arrangements, and introduces only administrative timing risk rather than strategic or market-facing developments.
For tracking redemption mechanics and deal proximity, the explicit underwriter and insider redemption waivers materially alter the redemption landscape: public holders face a lower voting hurdle to prevent deal closure, yet the sponsor, directors, officers, and underwriters permanently lock 7,424,639 shares out of the redemption pool. The Company’s revision highlighting that it targets businesses with enterprise values exceeding the combined net proceeds and private placement capital signals planned future equity raises, introducing dilution pathways outside the current trust distribution framework. Attribution matters for sponsor conduct: the Company acknowledges its sponsor is controlled by non-U.S. persons and discloses that underwriters hold 180,000 shares, receive deferred commissions, and may supply post-offering services, creating documented conflicts of interest in deal sourcing. These acknowledgments directly inform investor assessments of sponsor alignment and underwriter independence ahead of the business combination vote. The filing contains no statements altering the stated 2027-11-24 deadline or trust accounting methodology, but it resolves prior mathematical ambiguities in dilution and share counts that previously obscured true per-share economics under various redemption outcomes.
The filing provides investors with the definitive terms of the SPAC IPO, including the trust amount, redemption mechanics, sponsor economics, and risk factors. It is essential for evaluating the investment.
Discrepancies in redemption waivers and voting math directly control how much trust capital survives versus returns to public holders, which determines whether the company has enough liquidity to pursue its stated strategy of acquiring targets with enterprise values exceeding net offering proceeds and private placement sale proceeds. Staff requests to expand disclosures on sponsor-promoter conflict roles, advisory team compensation, underwriter voting agreements, and sponsor ties to non-U.S. persons reveal governance complexities that could alter deal structure, trigger related-party transaction scrutiny, or shift economic leverage toward insiders. Personnel disclosures require updated five-year business experience narratives for officers and director nominees per Item 401(e). Because staff flagged mathematical inaccuracies in per-share valuations and share counts, alongside incomplete Cayman Islands legal opinion assumptions and forfeiture notations, the registration statement’s effective date is suspended, extending SEC review timelines and potentially constraining execution windows before external combination deadlines lapse.
This filing allows the SPAC to proceed with its IPO, establishing a $180 million trust ($10.00 per unit), a 24-month deadline from IPO closing to consummate a business combination, and a sponsor holding approximately 27% of post-IPO shares. It details redemption rights, anti-dilution adjustments for founder shares, lock-up provisions, and management's focus on technology, critical materials, and energy sectors. The trust will be invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds. No target has been identified, and the company has no operating history or revenues.
This is a new SPAC IPO filing. Key metrics: trust value of $10.00 per share, 24-month deal deadline from IPO closing. The sponsor paid an effective $0.003 per founder share, creating substantial potential dilution for public shareholders. The CEO has a prior SPAC that failed to consummate a business combination and was liquidated. The structure includes non-managing sponsor investors who will purchase a significant portion of the private placement units but have no voting rights.
Filings
live EDGAR feedEverything this company has filed with the SEC recently, newest first, each with a plain summary of what changed and why it matters.
What changed: Quarterly report (Form 10-Q) for a blank check company (SPAC) that has not yet completed a business combination. Trust account value increased to $211.5M (up from $207.8M at year-end 2025), driven by interest and dividend income. On May 31, 2026, the company signed a definitive business combination agreement with REEcycle Holdings, Inc., a rare earth elements recycler, expected to close in Q4 2026. The company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern if the deal fails or is not completed by the November 2027 deadline. Cash outside the trust remains very low ($36k). No insider trading arrangements were adopted or terminated during the period. Why it matters: Trust value per share ($10.22) exceeds the $10.00 redemption price, providing a small potential return for redeeming shareholders. The signed deal with REEcycle gives investors a specific target and timeline; execution risk remains high given the going concern warning and low working capital. The lack of any extension mechanism or additional sponsor support disclosed pressures the November 2027 deadline.

What changed: Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing for a Form 10-Q. Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. reported via Form 12b-25 that its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 will miss its original regulatory deadline. Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish stated the company anticipates submitting the filing within the five calendar day extension period permitted by Rule 12b-25. The registrant attributes the delay exclusively to the ongoing finalization of the second-quarter financial statements. The company further attested in Part IV that no other periodic reports were missed during the preceding twelve months and that no significant operational changes are expected in the subject report. Why it matters: The notification creates a brief administrative lag before Q2 financials reach shareholders but leaves the announced business combination timeline, trust account structure, and shareholder redemption rights entirely intact. By documenting a single-class Rule 12b-25 request, confirming a historically compliant reporting record, and identifying Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish as the overseeing officer, the filing suggests routine accounting closure delays rather than liquidity constraints, governance friction, or deal execution breakdowns. Tracking whether the subsequent 10-Q lands precisely within the five calendar day window remains the key compliance checkpoint for investors monitoring sponsor discipline ahead of the expiration date.
What changed: A Schedule 13G/A amendment reporting beneficial ownership of HCAC securities, submitted by Meteora Capital, LLC. The excerpt discloses no updated share counts, ownership percentages, transaction dates, or revised purpose statements; it functions purely as a regulatory identifier for an amended holding report. Why it matters: Schedule 13G/A filings typically signal adjustments in institutional stake sizes or shifts in investment intent, which can indirectly shape shareholder calculus ahead of redemption windows, extension votes, or business combination approvals. Because the provided text lacks data schedules, purpose clauses, or corporate disclosures, no actionable assertions regarding customer relationships, revenue trajectories, addressable markets, technology pipelines, strategic alliances, pending litigation, or leadership movements are presented for attribution. Accordingly, the fragment alone does not alter expectations around redemption mechanics, trust distribution parameters, merger timeline execution, or sponsor governance conduct beyond confirming continued SEC tracking of this holder.
What changed: Schedule 13G — beneficial ownership report. The excerpt names Glazer Capital, LLC and Paul J. Glazer as reporting persons disclosing beneficial ownership in HCAC. It contains no statements, schedules, or footnotes addressing redemption windows, trust account valuations, extension proposals, target business combination milestones, or sponsor conduct. Why it matters: A Schedule 13G ordinarily tracks aggregate passive equity positions exceeding five percent, but the provided text lacks the mandatory pages that would disclose share quantities, acquisition dates, purchase prices, transaction purpose, or any related-party contracts. Consequently, this filing does not advance HCAC’s merger timeline, modify trust distribution mechanics, or signal sponsor behavior that would influence holder redemption decisions. No assertions concerning customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel appear, so no operational, financial, or governance updates can be attributed to any party based on this extract.
What changed: A Form 8-K current report (routine compliance exhibit) filed under Item 5.02 announcing the appointment of a new board member. The board of directors appointed Ms. Stephanie Wei-Ni Wen, age 48, as a director effective June 24, 2026. The filing reports no adjustments to redemption deadlines, trust per-share value, extension votes, merger timeline, or sponsor conduct. Why it matters: The board states it selected Ms. Wen because her 'extensive transactional and legal experience advising mineral exploration and mineral production companies qualifies her to serve on the Board.' According to the filing, she brings 'over 15 years’ experience advising listed companies and multinational organizations on corporate governance, cross-border transactions and regulatory matters across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.' Her recorded tenure includes General Counsel and Company Secretary of Kingsgate Consolidated Limited (August 2023 to March 2026), senior legal roles at Cover-More Group (August 2018 to June 2019) and Swiss Re Group (July 2019 to June 2023), and a non-executive directorship at Quantum Health Group Limited (September 2021 to April 2022). She holds a Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting), and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Wen is expected to enter the Company's 'standard form of indemnification agreement.' The filing contains no disclosures regarding customers, revenue, market size, target strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or financial targets.

What changed: An 8-K Current Report and accompanying exhibits filed under Rule 425, announcing the definitive merger agreement between SPAC Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp and target REEcycle Holdings, Inc., along with supporting agreements (Sponsor Support, Transaction Support) and an investor presentation. This is the initial public filing of the definitive merger agreement for this deal. All material terms of the business combination are now public: the $400M total Purchase Price (paid in stock at $10.00 per Domesticated HCAC share); a $40M minimum cash condition at closing; an earnout of 5M shares for achieving 50 tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide; up to ~8.75M additional advisor shares; a 6-month lock-up for sponsors, target shareholders, and advisors; sponsor commitment to vote in favor and a no-redemption agreement; and a target closing date of no later than December 31, 2026. The trust is stated to hold at least $207M as of the agreement date. Why it matters: This filing establishes the full contractual framework for a de-SPAC transaction. Investors can now track key redemption mechanics (the $40M minimum cash condition creates downside risk if redemptions are high; the $207M stated trust balance provides a cash cushion; a PIPE of up to ~$50M is contemplated but not yet secured, making this a sign of execution risk if not raised). The sponsor has agreed to vote all its shares in favor and not to redeem. The $10.00 issue price and $400M valuation are now fixed. The investor presentation (Ex-99.1) provides management's first detailed projections, including revenue of $144M and ~54% EBITDA margin by 2029, though these are forecasts, not facts. The filing also confirms the nature of the target (a rare earth recycling company), its defense/government backing, and its technology path.

What changed: 8-K Current Report filed by Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp (HCAC) announcing the entry into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with REEcycle Holdings, Inc., a rare earth elements recycling company, along with related exhibits including the full agreement, sponsor support agreement, transaction support agreement, and investor presentation. HCAC entered into a Business Combination Agreement to merge with REEcycle. The transaction values REEcycle at $400 million total consideration ($350 million payable at closing plus $50 million earnout upon achieving a commercial facility run rate of 50 metric tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide). HCAC will domesticate as a Delaware corporation prior to closing. A minimum of $40 million in cash must remain in the trust after redemptions. The sponsor agreed to vote in favor and not redeem. A PIPE investment of up to ~$50 million is contemplated. Public shareholders will have redemption rights at $10.00 per share. Closing conditions include HCAC shareholder approval, SEC effectiveness of the registration statement, Nasdaq listing, and no material adverse effect. Outside date for closing is December 31, 2026. The post-closing board will consist of 5 REEcycle nominees and 2 HCAC nominees. Lock-up period of 6 months for sponsor and REEcycle shareholders. Why it matters: This filing establishes the definitive terms for the SPAC merger, triggering the redemption clock for public shareholders who must decide whether to redeem at the trust value of ~$10.00 per share or hold through the business combination. The $40 million minimum cash condition provides a floor for trust proceeds available post-redemption. The target is a U.S.-focused rare earth recycler with patented technology and Department of Defense backing, positioning it in a critical national security supply chain. Investors should monitor the proxy statement for redemption mechanics and deadlines. The December 31, 2026 outside date creates a clear timeline.

What changed: Form 8-K current report containing Item 8.01 disclosures regarding a definitive business combination agreement, accompanied by Exhibit 99.1, a press release announcing the merger of Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. with REEcycle Holdings, Inc. Mechanics & Redemptions: The filing confirms execution of the definitive business combination agreement, noting HCAC will domesticate from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation prior to closing. The document does not alter the redemption calendar or extend the 2027-11-24 deadline. It states HCAC currently holds approximately US$207 million in trust, and the combined company is expected to close with a minimum of US$40 million in unrestricted cash. Equity consideration values REEcycle at approximately US$400 million, including up to US$50 million in contingent consideration payable upon achieving an annualised run rate of 50 metric tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide. All consideration pays in shares, with reserves for up to 6,125,000 Additional Company Shares, 2,625,000 Additional REEcycle Shares, and 1,250,000 Deferred Shares triggered by a commercial production milestone (70% allocated to persons identified pre-closing, 30% to post-closing board designees). Sponsor and legacy shareholder shares carry a six-month post-listing lock-up. Substantive Operations & Strategy: According to the attached press release, REEcycle utilizes a proprietary hydrometallurgical recycling process rooted in University of Houston academic research to recover neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium from NdFeB scrap. The company has commissioned a demonstration plant in Oklahoma designed for 6–8 tonnes per year, with DRA Global conducting a final engineering study for a 100-tonne-per-annum facility slated for completion in Q2 2026 and full commercial rollout by 2027. A proprietary Drive Disassembly Machine pilot concluded with a large data centre partner in Q4 2025. Per the company's disclosure, the Department of War awarded REEcycle US$5.1 million in non-dilutive funding, with US$4.3 million remaining disbursed monthly against spend. Market and geopolitical context provided in the release cites a global rare earth market valued at approximately US$19 billion in 2025, projected to reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034, while China controls approximately 85–90% of global processing. Management: Mick McMullen continues as Executive Chairman, with prior turnaround experience noted at MAC Copper Ltd., Detour Gold Corporation, and Stillwater Mining Company; the press release additionally notes his role as Executive Chair at Metals Acquisition II, which recently raised $230 million in trust. Why it matters: This 8-K advances HCAC from target search into formal merger execution, establishing an all-equity deal framework that fixes post-close capitalization, defines contingent share issuance triggers, and sets insider lock-up parameters ahead of the mandatory Form S-4 filing and definitive proxy solicitation. By anchoring transaction liquidity to the existing US$207 million trust balance and confirming the US$40 million net cash deployment goal, the filing provides the baseline metrics public shareholders will weigh when evaluating redemption versus retention during the upcoming shareholder vote. Concurrently, the disclosed pilot validation, federal funding drawdown schedule, and capacity expansion roadmap create the measurable operating benchmarks against which the commercial production milestone—and its associated 1,250,000 deferred share payout—will be evaluated.
What changed: Form 8-K filed pursuant to Rule 425 containing a press release that announces a definitive business combination agreement between Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. and REEcycle Holdings, Inc., outlining the proposed merger, valuation, and capital structure. The filing establishes the transaction at a total equity consideration of approximately US$400 million, including up to US$50 million in contingent consideration. It confirms HCAC currently holds approximately US$207 million in trust, while the combined company is expected to maintain a minimum of US$40 million in unrestricted cash at closing. Closing remains conditional on shareholder approval, SEC effectiveness of a forthcoming Form S-4, and customary requirements. REEcycle equityholders are entitled to an earnout of up to 5,000,000 additional shares upon achieving a commercial production milestone. Shares held by HCAC’s sponsor and REEcycle legacy shareholders carry a six-month post-listing lock-up. The filing does not alter the existing 2027-11-24 redemption deadline. Why it matters: According to the press release, REEcycle is positioned as the first publicly traded pure-play U.S. rare earth recycling platform, recovering materials from end-of-life permanent magnets using technology sourced from the University of Houston. Company representatives state the demonstration plant in Oklahoma targets 6-8 tonnes annually, with a first commercial facility aiming for 100 tonnes per annum by 2027 at an estimated construction cost of approximately US$40 million per plant. The press release cites McKinsey & Company forecasting demand to nearly triple by 2035 and Grand Research Store projecting the global market grew to approximately US$19 billion in 2025 and will reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034. Executive Chairman Mick McMullen states REEcycle secured US$5.1 million in Department of War funding with US$4.3 million remaining, and notes his concurrent role at Metals Acquisition II, which recently raised $230m of cash in trust. These operational milestones, federal funding claims, and management backgrounds provide critical context for shareholder voting decisions ahead of the proxy material, alongside the explicit warning in the press release that the amount of redemption requests remains a key risk factor.
What changed: Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, filed by Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. The filing reports Q1 2026 financial results: net income of $1,652,279, trust account value of $209,621,481, cash of $463,036, and working capital of $490,223. Critically, Note 10 (Subsequent Events) discloses that on April 1, 2026, the company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with REEcycle Holdings, Inc. for a proposed de-SPAC business combination, valuing REEcycle at approximately US$600 million, assuming no redemptions by HCAC public shareholders. Why it matters: This is the first public disclosure of a specific target (REEcycle) for the SPAC's initial business combination, signaling progress toward a deal. The $600 million valuation and the trust account balance ($209.6M) are key inputs for investors assessing potential dilution, deal structure, and the likelihood of completion. The filing also confirms the company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next year, reducing near-term going-concern risk.
What changed: A Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing submitted by Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish states the company will miss the original due date for its Form 10-Q covering the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, because it requires additional time to finalize the financial statements. The filing asserts it will submit the report within five calendar days following the prescribed due date under Rule 12b-25. Regarding SPAC mechanics, the document contains no amendments to existing redemption terms, trust account structures, or business combination deadlines, and confirms all other periodic reports for the preceding twelve months were filed on time. The registrant explicitly states there is no anticipated significant change in results of operations. Why it matters: While the notification contains no forward-looking claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or sponsor conduct beyond the administrative delay, it establishes a compliance baseline for the March 31, 2026 quarter. Investors tracking the SPAC's path to closure should note that the company attributes the scheduling delay strictly to financial statement preparation rather than transaction restructuring or partner integration hurdles. The filing designates Aaron Dominish at the Singapore executive office as the sole point of contact, providing a clear accountability line as the extended deadline approaches.
What changed: Schedule 13G, which the filing explicitly defines as a beneficial ownership report. The provided text names Meteora Capital, LLC as a holder but records no transaction date, share count, or percentage change. It reflects the disclosed parameters of a DEAL_ANNOUNCED status, a trust/share amount of $10, and a deadline of 2027-11-24, but attributes no modifications to redemption rights, trust valuations, extension votes, or sponsor actions to the filer. Why it matters: The excerpt contains no substantive assertions regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel. As a standard regulatory submission, it logs a filing event but supplies no material information for investors tracking redemption deadlines, trust distributions, or deal execution timelines.
What changed: Schedule 13G beneficial ownership report. As executed by Meteora Capital, LLC, the document registers a Schedule 13G for HCAC. The provided excerpt contains no disclosed share quantities, beneficial ownership percentages, acquisition dates, or any statements addressing redemption mechanics, trust account valuation, extension voting schedules, merger execution progress, or sponsor conduct. Why it matters: Because Meteora Capital, LLC attributed no position sizes, transaction details, or operational commentary to the filing, it provides no analytical basis to revise redemption probability models, trust sufficiency projections, extension viability assessments, or sponsor alignment metrics relative to the business combination timeline. The text also contains no asserted information regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel.
What changed: Form 8-K Current Report filed under Item 5.02 disclosing a director resignation. Chris Dirckze resigned from the board of directors, the compensation committee, and the audit committee of Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp., effective May 6, 2026. The filing introduces no adjustments to the redemption calendar, trust account disbursement schedule, extension mechanisms, or the status of the announced business combination. Board committee membership and quorum availability shifted immediately as of the effective date. Why it matters: Chief Financial Officer Aaron Dominish dated the submission May 11, 2026, and the registrant states via the filing that the departure 'was not related to a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.' This company-made representation aims to prevent market interpretation of the exit as operational friction ahead of the November 24, 2027 liquidation window. The document contains zero references to target-entity customer bases, revenue streams, market sizing, proprietary technology, joint ventures, active litigation, or compensatory packages tied to the outgoing fiduciary. Consequently, redemption pricing expectations, trust value preservation assumptions, and conversion ratio mathematics remain structurally intact, though sponsor governance density has decreased by one board seat pending any interim Cayman Islands corporate appointments.
What changed: Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed by Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp., a newly-public SPAC. The filing is the first 10-K since the SPAC's November 2025 IPO. Key developments: (1) On April 1, 2026, the Company announced a non-binding letter of intent with REEcycle Holdings, Inc. for a proposed de-SPAC business combination. (2) The filing states the trust was funded with $207 million ($10.00 per unit) at IPO close on November 24, 2025. (3) The Company had working capital of $652,229 as of December 31, 2025, and its auditor's report includes a going concern explanatory paragraph. (4) The auditor valued the public rights using a probability-weighted binomial model (base case 17% probability of De-SPAC). (5) The filing provides a liquidation deadline of November 24, 2027, and states the Company 'does not expect to extend' beyond 36 months. (6) The filing discloses that CEO Alex Bono's prior SPAC, FAT Projects Acquisition Corp., liquidated in February 2024 after failing to complete a business combination. Why it matters: This is a critical baseline filing. The trust is $207 million. The LOI with REEcycle ($600 million enterprise value) is a target identification item, but is non-binding. The limited working capital ($631k outside trust) combined with a $20k/month admin fee, the going concern qualification, and the lack of a minimum redemption threshold all signal potential vulnerability to high redemptions in a de-SPAC. The CEO's track record (a prior failed SPAC) gives extra scrutiny to deal execution risk. The non-managing sponsor investors (17 institutions) hold indirect founder share interests and have no lock-up on their public shares, creating potential for divergent incentives in a redemption vote.

No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected
A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.
Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash
Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.
Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date
Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.
Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share
Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.
Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you
Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.
Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you
Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.
Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes
The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.
ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside
SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.
De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company
The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.
Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal
A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.
Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing
Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.
Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since
A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

Written by SpacBrain’s data agents whenever a figure is captured, corrected or flagged, and kept verbatim so every number on this page can be traced back to the filing that states it. This is a running log, not the current record: an early entry may be superseded by a later correction — the panels above always hold the current values.
