StoneBridge Acquisition II Corp Commitments Disclosure
NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Units issued in the Private Placement and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Units, and (iii) any private placement units (and underlying Class A ordinary shares) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company bears the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
In connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering completed in October 2025, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting commissions. The underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised in full.
The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.05 per Unit, or 0.50%, resulting in total underwriting discounts of $287,500, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter or its designees received an aggregate of 230,000 Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Shares”). The Representative Shares were measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 718 and SAB Topic 5A. The fair value of the Representative Shares was determined to be $2,300,000 (230,000 shares at the $10.00 Initial Public Offering price per share) and has been included in the total offering costs. The registration statement registering the Units in the Initial Public Offering also registered the Class A ordinary shares issuable to the underwriter. In addition to the underwriting discount, the Company paid the underwriter $25,000 upon the execution of the engagement letter relating to the Company’s Initial Public Offering, as an advance against out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by the underwriter, which was reimbursable to the extent not actually incurred, and the Company agreed to pay the underwriter for travel, lodging and other “road show” expenses, expenses of the underwriter’s legal counsel and certain diligence and other fees up to $50,000 (inclusive of the advance of $25,000). No discounts or commissions were paid on the sale of the Private Placement Units.
Rights — If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will be the surviving entity, each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all ordinary shares held by him, her or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional ordinary shares upon consummation of an initial Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which it will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into Class A ordinary share basis, and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the Business Combination. More specifically, the right holder will be required to indicate his, her or its election to convert the rights into underlying shares as well as to return the original rights certificates to the Company. In the event that the Company is not the surviving entity upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and there is no effective registration statement for the offering of the shares underlying the rights, the rights may expire worthless.
If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
As soon as practicable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company will direct registered holders of the rights to return their rights to the Company’s rights agent. Upon receipt of the rights, the rights agent will issue to the registered holder of such right(s) the number of full ordinary shares to which he, she or it is entitled. The Company will notify registered holders of the rights to deliver their rights to the rights agent promptly upon consummation of such Business Combination and have been informed by the rights agent that the process of exchanging their rights for ordinary shares should take no more than a matter of days. The foregoing exchange of rights is solely ministerial in nature and is not intended to provide the Company with any means of avoiding its obligation to issue the shares underlying the rights upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Other than confirming that the rights delivered by a registered holder are valid, the Company will have no ability to avoid delivery of the shares underlying the rights. Nevertheless, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
Although a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands may issue fractional shares, it is not the Company’s intention to issue any fractional shares upon conversions of the rights. In the event that any holder would otherwise be entitled to any fractional share upon exchange of his, her or its rights, the Company will reserve the option, to the fullest extent permitted by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and other applicable law, to deal with any such fractional entitlement at the relevant time as the Company sees fit, which would include the rounding down of any entitlement to receive ordinary shares to the nearest whole share (and in effect extinguishing any fractional entitlement), or the holder being entitled to hold any remaining fractional entitlement (without any share being issued) and to aggregate the same with any future fractional entitlement to receive shares in the Company until the holder is entitled to receive a whole number. Any rounding down and extinguishment may be done with or without any in lieu cash payment or other compensation being made to the holder of the relevant rights, such that value received on exchange of the rights may be considered less than the value that the holder would otherwise expect to receive. All holders of rights shall be treated in the same manner with respect to the issuance of shares upon conversions of the rights.
The Company shall reserve such amount of its profits or share premium in order to pay up the par value of each Class A ordinary share issuable in respect of the rights.
As of December 31, 2025, there are a total of 5,750,000 rights outstanding.
About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
