Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp.

What they do

The company was incorporated on May 22, 2025 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. It has neither engaged in operations nor generated revenues; activity to date covers formation, its initial public offering, and identifying a target. It intends to concentrate on technology, critical minerals and energy sectors, but is not required to complete a combination in those industries.

Revenue drivers

• No operating revenue — The company reports it has generated no operating revenues to date and does not expect operating revenues until it consummates an initial business combination.
• Trust account interest and dividend income — Income comes from interest and dividends on the $207,000,000 held in the trust account; for the three months ended June 30, 2026 this was $1,857,285.
• Non-trust investment income — Dividend and interest earned on investments held outside the trust account contributed $2,519 for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
• Prospective REEcycle operations — If the pending business combination closes, the company would own REEcycle, a rare earth elements recycling company recovering rare earths from end-of-life magnets.

Recent performance

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the company reported net income of $1,374,238, consisting of $1,857,285 of interest and dividend income on trust account cash and investments plus $2,519 earned outside the trust, offset by $485,567 of formation, general and administrative costs. For the period from May 22, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2026, net income was $3,679,439, comprising $4,478,766 of trust interest, $2,720 of non-trust income, offset by $802,047 of costs. The latest balance sheet at June 30, 2026 shows total assets of $211.6M, total liabilities of $8.4M, shareholder equity of negative $3.8M and cash and equivalents of $30,220. Annual net income for 2026 was $2.3M.

Strategy

The company's stated purpose is to complete an initial business combination, targeting technology, critical minerals and energy sectors and adjacent areas. On April 1, 2026 it announced a non-binding letter of intent with REEcycle Holdings, Inc., and on May 31, 2026 it entered a Business Combination Agreement with HCAC Star Merger Sub, Inc. and REEcycle. Under that agreement the company would transfer by way of continuation and domesticate as a Delaware corporation, then Merger Sub would merge into REEcycle, with REEcycle surviving. Management states it expects the Business Combination to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, though it cannot assure success.

Risks

• No operating history or revenue — The company has generated no operating revenues and does not expect any until after completing a business combination, so results depend entirely on trust account income and the pending transaction.
• Business combination may not close — The REEcycle letter of intent is non-binding, and management states it cannot assure that plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.
• Deadline and liquidation risk — Under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the company must cease operations and liquidate if it has not completed a business combination by November 24, 2027.
• Shareholders may not get a vote — The company may complete an initial business combination without a shareholder vote unless Cayman Islands law or Nasdaq rules require one, so a majority of public shareholders may not support the transaction.

Outlook

Management states it expects the Business Combination with REEcycle to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, and that it will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The company does not expect to generate operating revenues until after completing a business combination, at the earliest. It cannot assure that its plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful, and must liquidate if no combination is completed by November 24, 2027.
