HCACR Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp (HCAC) has filed this 425 communication in connection with its pending business combination with REEcycle Holdings, Inc., a U.S. rare earth recycling company. The transaction values REEcycle at $400M total equity value ($350M at closing plus a $50M earnout based on a 50 metric tonnes per annum milestone). HCAC holds approximately $207M in trust, and the combined company is expected to have at least $40M in unrestricted cash to fund REEcycle's first commercial plant. The deal, unanimously approved by both boards, creates the first publicly listed pure-play U.S. rare earth recycler and represents a strategic response to U.S. dependence on China for critical minerals.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
Monitor shareholder approval vote and redemption levels from HCAC's trust account — high redemptions could reduce the cash available to fund REEcycle's commercial plant below the $40M minimum condition. Track SEC review of the S-4 registration statement and any updates on the $50M PIPE. The deal is the first pure-play U.S. rare earth recycler coming public, giving it a unique positioning if it closes successfully.
Key Facts
- Transaction values REEcycle at $400M total equity value ($350M at closing + $50M earnout for achieving 50 tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide)
- HCAC has approximately $207M in trust, and combined company expected to have at least $40M in unrestricted cash at closing

Financial Impact
$400M total equity value for REEcycle; $207M in HCAC trust; minimum $40M unrestricted cash post-closing
Risk Factors
- Public shareholders may redeem a significant portion of the $207M trust, reducing cash available for operations below the $40M minimum closing condition
- The $50M earnout requires achieving 50 tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide — this is a commercial milestone with execution risk
- Audited financial statements for REEcycle must be delivered by September 30, 2026 — delay could trigger termination rights
- Regulatory approvals and SEC review of the S-4 could delay or prevent closing
