New York, Tuesday, 11 August 2026.
BOA Acquisition Corp. II completed its $143.75 million stock market debut, raising funds to acquire real estate, energy, and infrastructure assets amid steady institutional demand for new public ventures.
IPO Closing and Capital Raised
BOA Acquisition Corp. II successfully closed its initial public offering on August 5, 2026, securing $143.75 million in funding [1]. The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol THEOU, with trading commencing the prior day on August 4, 2026 [1]. D. Boral Capital served as the sole bookrunner for the transaction, leveraging its experience from approximately $35 billion in capital aggregated across roughly 400 transactions since 2020 [1]. This capital injection provides the firm with significant liquidity to pursue potential business combinations in the public markets [1].
Offering Structure and Unit Composition
The offering consisted of 14,375,000 units priced at $10.00 per unit, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option for 1,875,000 units [1]. Each unit comprises one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination [1]. While the units are currently trading under THEOU, the Class A ordinary shares and rights will trade under the symbols “THEO” and “THEOR” respectively once securities begin separate trading [1]. No specific deadline has been provided for the start of separate trading [alert! ‘No specific deadline provided for the start of separate trading’] [1].
Market Performance and Trading Data
As of August 11, 2026, the company’s units traded at $10.10, reflecting a price increase from the initial offering price [2]. The daily trading range on August 11, 2026, was between $10.10 and $10.11, with a reported trading volume of 1.6 million units [2]. This price movement represents a percentage change of 1 from the IPO price [1][2]. Market data recorded on August 4, 2026, indicated a market capitalization of approximately $200 million, with 52-week high and low metrics initially reflecting the IPO price range [3].
Strategic Focus and Risk Disclosures
BOA Acquisition Corp. II intends to target mergers, acquisitions, or similar business combinations, specifically focusing on real estate and infrastructure assets within the energy, telecommunications, and transportation sectors [1]. The company, incorporated in 2025 and based in Washington, DC, plans to utilize net proceeds from the offering to complete an initial business combination [2]. However, forward-looking statements disclose that no assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately complete a business combination transaction in the sector it is targeting, or at all [1]. Investors are reminded that trading in financial instruments involves high risks, including the risk of losing some or all of the investment amount [4].
