Business purpose and strategy

FACT II Acquisition Corp. states that it may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any industry or sector. However, it indicates an intention to focus its search on a target business with a management team that has demonstrated operating expertise over a multi‑year period, with a focus on growing revenues while maintaining control over operating costs and preserving cash.

The company’s approach emphasizes identifying an operating business where additional capital and public listing status can support further development. As a SPAC, FACT II Acquisition Corp. raised capital through an initial public offering of units, with the proceeds placed in a trust account to be used in connection with a future business combination, subject to redemptions by public shareholders.

Planned business combination with Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc.

FACT II Acquisition Corp. has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc. (PAD), an engineering and manufacturing company serving the aerospace, defense and space industries. Upon closing of the proposed business combination, the combined company is expected to operate under the name Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc., with its common stock and warrants anticipated to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbols “PAD” and “PADWW”, respectively.

According to the announced terms, PAD’s implied enterprise value in the transaction is up to a stated amount at a reference share price, after giving effect to certain pending acquisitions. The parties have also described an anticipated financing structure that may include a potential credit facility and equity financing, alongside funds in FACT II Acquisition Corp.’s trust account, to support PAD’s balance sheet, strategic acquisitions and ongoing growth. These financing arrangements are subject to conditions and there can be no assurance that they will be completed on the described terms, or at all.

The proposed business combination is expected to be completed subject to shareholder approvals, applicable regulatory approvals, Nasdaq listing approval for the combined company’s securities, and other customary closing conditions. Until the transaction closes, FACT II Acquisition Corp. continues to function as a SPAC with the stated objective of completing this business combination.

Role within the SPAC and shell company segment

As a blank check company, FACT II Acquisition Corp. does not have an operating business of its own. Instead, its value proposition for investors is tied to its ability to identify, negotiate and complete a business combination with a target company. In this case, the identified target is Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc. The SPAC structure allows the target business, if the transaction is completed, to become a publicly listed company through the combination with FACT II Acquisition Corp.
