On November 27, 2024, FACT II Acquisition Corp.

Financial Group, LLC, and (D) 44,625 Private Placement Units ($446,250 in the aggregate) with Seaport Global Securities LLC (collectively, the “Private Placement”).
A total of $175,875,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (which includes the underwriters’ deferred discount of up to $7,000,000) was placed in a trust account with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO. Except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the amounts in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations, or upon the redemption by public shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or the redemption by the Company of 100% of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares issued by the Company in the IPO if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination within 18 months after the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO) or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate a business combination beyond 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO) as a result of a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, subject to applicable law.
An audited balance sheet as of November 27, 2024 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
