Analysis · ATII · Real Estate & Construction
Forge Nano, the target in Archimedes II's SPAC merger, raised an additional $23 million in PIPE financing at $10.00 per share, bringing total PIPE commitments to $123 million. The deal includes a $20 million strategic investment from Samsung SDI, split between the PIPE and Forge Nano's Series D round, which closed at $97 million. The combined company expects $367 million in pro forma cash at closing, assuming no redemptions. This strengthens the merger's financial foundation and adds a high-profile strategic partner, but the $10.00 price is a discount to ATII's current $10.80, signaling some dilution pressure. The filing is a material update to the merger timeline and capital structure.
