Question 1

What is Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II?

Accepted Answer

Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001841304. It completed its initial public offering in Feb 2021, raising $230M in gross proceeds. The vehicle is sponsored by Kensington through Kensington Capital Sponsor II LLC. The mandate targets generalist. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.

Question 2

How much does Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II hold in trust?

Accepted Answer

Approximately $230,022,109, or about $10.00 per public share, 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.

Question 3

When must Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II complete a merger?

Accepted Answer

No combination deadline appears in the filings we have indexed. The date is stated in the charter and repeated in each quarterly report; where our parser could not establish it with confidence we leave it blank rather than infer one.

Question 4

What happens if Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II does not find a target in time?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Can I redeem shares in Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II, and at what price?

Accepted Answer

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, most recently disclosed at about $10.00 per share. 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.

Question 6

Is the trust value the same as the share price for Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How much dilution do Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II's founder shares and warrants create?

Accepted Answer

The founder block is 750,000 shares against 23,000,000 public shares, so roughly 3.2% of the combined count sits with the sponsor at nominal cost. Each unit also carried one-fourth warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.

Question 8

Who sponsors Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II, and what is their track record?

Accepted Answer

Kensington Capital Sponsor II LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Kensington franchise. That franchise has launched 9 vehicles in total, of which 8 closed a combination and 0 liquidated, a 100% completion rate on resolved vehicles. Named principals: Justin Mirro.

Question 9

Which banks underwrote the Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II IPO?

Accepted Answer

UBS, Stifel, Robert W. Baird &. UBS and Stifel were credited as book-running managers on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.

Question 11
