Business Description

Note 1 — Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 19, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities for the period from January 19, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2024, relate to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for and efforts towards completing an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating interest income on investments held in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company’s Sponsor is Spring Valley Acquisition Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 12, 2022. On October 17, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s full exercise of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.4 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share (the “Right”), and one -half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 13,350,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $13.4 million (see Note 4). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $235.8 million ($10.25 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination.…
