NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nukkleus, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUKK) ("Nukkleus" or the "Company") announced that it is the majority owner of the sponsor of a newly formed special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") named SC II Acquisition Corp.

SCII intends to list its units to be issued on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "SCIIU".

Menachem Shalom, the Chief Executive Officer of Nukkleus, is expected to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of SC II.
