Armada Acquisition Corp. II Announces Pricing of $200,000,000 Initial Public Offering

Armada Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company” or “AACI”) announced today that it priced its initial public offering of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. The units are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) and trade under the ticker symbol "AACIU" beginning on May 21, 2025. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole warrants are exercisable and will trade. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “AACI” and “AACIW,” respectively.

AACI is a special purpose acquisition company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an acquisition or business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search on businesses in the financial services (“FinTech”), Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), or generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) industries which the Company believes offer the most promising potential for acquisitions due to their strong growth and strategic alignment with our business goals.

AACI is led by Stephen P. Herbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Director, Douglas M. Lurio, President, Chief Financial Officer and Director, Mohammad A. Khan, Director, Thomas (Tad) A. Decker, Director, and Celso L. White, Director.
