Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On July 15, 2024, the audit committee of the board of directors of HCM II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Annual Period”), and (ii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 (“Current Interim Period”) should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the related party transaction disclosure in Footnote 5 incorrectly stating that the underwriter in the Company’s initial public offering was a related party of the Company.
The Company intends to restate the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Period (the “10-K Restatement”) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K/A”), as soon as reasonably practicable. Additionally, the Company intends to restate the consolidated financial statements of the Current Interim Period (the “10-Q Restatement”) in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-Q/A”), as soon as reasonably practicable.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent accounting registered public firm. At this time, the Company does not have an estimate of when all efforts will be completed and when the 2024 Form 10-K/A and 2025 Form 10-Q/A will be filed.
