Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIIIHCIC

Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Nevada and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002099093. It completed its initial public offering in Feb 2026, raising $236.7M in gross proceeds and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker HCIC, units under HCICU, rights under HCICR on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by Hennessy Capital through HC VIII Sponsor LLC. The mandate targets energy transition, industrials. IPO closed, trust funded, no definitive agreement announced.

Approximately $244,651,743, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.

By Feb 5, 2028. If no combination closes by then the sponsor must seek a further extension or wind the vehicle up and return the trust.

The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.

Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.

Class A shares trade as HCIC on Nasdaq, the units as HCICU, with rights as HCICR. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.

No. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure: what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at, which can sit above the trust when a deal is well received or below it when the market doubts one will close. We do not have a current quote for this vehicle, so no spread is shown.

That is not a question this site answers. Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.

Filings Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002099093: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.
