Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. II 8-K

What Happened
Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. II (the Company) announced it completed its initial public offering (IPO) and a related private placement on December 19, 2025. The IPO sold 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (including a full 3,000,000‑unit over‑allotment), and the sponsor purchased 5,500,000 private placement warrants at $1.00 per warrant. The net IPO proceeds, together with certain private placement proceeds, totaling $230,000,000, were placed in a trust account at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Key Details

• IPO: 23,000,000 units sold at $10.00 each (includes 3,000,000 units from underwriter’s over‑allotment).
• Private placement: 5,500,000 warrants sold to Vine Hill Capital Sponsor II LLC at $1.00 per warrant.
• Trust account: $230,000,000 placed in a trust for the benefit of public shareholders and the underwriter.
• Use/restrictions: Funds in the trust are held until completion of an initial business combination or, if no combination occurs within 24 months of the IPO, until the Company redeems 100% of Class A ordinary shares; only interest withdrawals for taxes (or redemptions under certain amendments) are permitted.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms Vine Hill II is a newly public blank‑check (SPAC) company with $230 million secured in trust to fund a future acquisition. For investors, the trust balance and the 24‑month timeline are key facts: cash in trust protects public shareholders’ capital until a proposed merger is approved or the Company liquidates and redeems shares if no deal is completed within the deadline. The sponsor’s private warrant purchase and the over‑allotment exercise indicate full subscription at IPO close. An audited balance sheet as of December 19, 2025 reflecting these proceeds was filed with the 8‑K.
