Recent Company History

Over the past six months, Haymaker/Suncrete has moved from announcing the proposed business combination and NYSE listing plans in October 2025 through a regional Oklahoma acquisition expanding plants and trucks, to March 2026 non-redemption agreements that secured 4.4 million Class A shares and targeted cash per share of $10.75. Those acquisition-tagged events produced modest price moves (around flat to slightly negative), suggesting the current closing-and-listing announcement fits into a long-running, staged de-SPAC process rather than a sudden shift.

Key Terms

special purpose acquisition company, PIPE financing, public warrants

3 terms

special purpose acquisition company financial

"Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 (NYSE: HYAC) ("Haymaker"), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company"

A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a company formed with the sole purpose of raising money through a public offering to buy or merge with an existing private business. It acts like a vehicle that allows private companies to go public more quickly and with less complexity. For investors, it offers an opportunity to invest early in a potential acquisition, though it also carries risks if the intended deal doesn’t materialize.

PIPE financing financial

"gross proceeds from funds held in trust and proceeds from a concurrent PIPE financing"

Pipe financing is a way for companies to raise money quickly by selling new shares or bonds directly to investors, often before their stock is publicly traded or in the early stages of a project. It’s similar to a company securing a loan from investors, providing quick capital needed for growth or operations. For investors, it can offer opportunities for early involvement and potentially higher returns, but it may also carry increased risk due to the immediate nature of the deal.

public warrants financial

"All of Haymaker's issued and outstanding public warrants were redeemed"

Public warrants are tradable securities that give the holder the right to buy a company’s stock at a fixed price before a set expiration date. Like a coupon that lets you purchase shares later at a preset price, they matter to investors because using them can bring new cash into the company but also increase the total number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership and influence the stock’s price and potential gains.

CPH is the portfolio company of SunTx Capital Partners ("SunTx"), a leading Texas-based private equity firm that invests in construction materials, manufacturing, distribution and service companies. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the go-forward public company is named Suncrete, Inc.

The transaction was approved by Haymaker's shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders and by Haymaker's warrantholders at a special meeting of warrantholders, each held on April 2, 2026. All of Haymaker's issued and outstanding public warrants were redeemed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The Business Combination provides approximately $226 million in gross proceeds from funds held in trust and proceeds from a concurrent PIPE financing, after giving effect to redemption and forward purchase agreement payments but before transaction expenses. As a result of the Business Combination, CPH and Haymaker became wholly owned subsidiaries of Suncrete.
