Southern Cross Acquisition II is a Cayman Islands blank check company, or SPAC, established to merge with a private operating business. The company has no current operations and will generate no revenue until it completes a business combination. Led by CEO Ally Tong Zhang, Southern Cross Acquisition II seeks to acquire a high-growth company with a defensible market position and a strong management team. While the search is not restricted to a specific sector, the company focuses on targets that would benefit from access to U.S. public markets. Management and the sponsor have significant ties to China and Hong Kong, which may influence target selection and subject the entity to regulatory and CFIUS oversight. The company's business model involves raising capital through an IPO, with proceeds held in a trust account. Each IPO unit includes an ordinary share, a warrant, and a right to receive one-fourth of a share. If Southern Cross Acquisition II fails to complete a deal within 12 months, it must liquidate and return funds to public shareholders. The sponsor, Southern Cross Acquisition II Sponsor, holds founder shares acquired at a nominal cost that provide equity upside upon a successful merger. A conflict of interest exists because Zhang also leads Southern Cross I, a sister SPAC. The company prioritizes targets whose auditors are subject to PCAOB inspection to mitigate risks associated with international acquisitions.
