$ATII now base:0x1a5f7931e5d450c666fd8706300b984fc4aeaba3 -- Forge Nano completed its de-SPAC merger and will list on NASDAQ on October 22, 2026. The merged company will receive $100M from the PIPE investor, who buys 2.97M shares, 7.03M pre-funded warrants (effectively shares), and 15M warrants at $10. An additional warrant reset could add more dilution if the stock is below $10 after six months, with a floor of $7.28 if a $200M debt deal is secured. Over 22 million SPAC shares were redeemed for $238.4M (approx. $10.73/share), leaving only $8.4M in the trust account for the combined company! Not the greatest as this significantly limits the cash available for operations and growth. On the other hand, the company has expanded its Taiwan semiconductor footprint, demonstrated a 1,000:1 coating demo, deeper Samsung SDI ties, a pharma JV with Nanexa, and broke ground on its North Carolina battery gigafactory. Wrote a deep dive here couple months ago btw: https://t.co/XchBCEYQ1q

The next 5 years could be an incredible stock picker's market. Long the companies that win from AI efficiencies but whos business is not threatened by AI. Companies who get to fire their lawyers and accountants etc but already have an impossible to beat scale advantage (because AI does not attack that scale advantage). Short the companies that lose from big AI threats. $RSP $SPY $IWM etc could go nowhere for 5 years while half the stocks trade down 70%, half trade up 70%.
