Forge Nano Schedules Investor Webcast Ahead of Planned Public Listing via SPAC Merger
Forge Nano, the Denver-based atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology specialist, has set a pre-listing investor and analyst webcast for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET. The session comes as the company prepares for a public markets debut through a merger agreement with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. (NASDAQ: ATII).
Forge Nano positions itself as a U.S.-based semiconductor equipment and advanced materials company. Its ALD technology is aimed at two markets that have drawn significant investor attention: chip manufacturing equipment for the AI buildout, and defense-oriented battery applications. The company says its deposition processes coat materials at the atomic level, a capability relevant to battery performance and semiconductor fabrication.
The webcast format, held before listing rather than after, gives management a chance to lay out its strategy, technology roadmap and financial picture to analysts and prospective shareholders in advance of trading. Pre-listing briefings of this kind have become a common step for companies going public via SPAC mergers, which require investor engagement ahead of the de-SPAC vote and transition to a listed company.
Battery and advanced materials names in the public markets have seen active trading as interest in AI infrastructure and defense supply chains continues to shape capital flows. Among smaller listed players, DEFN.V closed at $0.155, up 3.33% from a prior close of $0.15, valuing the company at roughly $60.9 million — a reminder of how modest valuations remain across parts of the advanced materials and battery technology universe compared with the large-cap AI semiconductor complex.
Forge Nano’s pending combination with Archimedes II would move it from private ownership to Nasdaq listing, subject to the usual closing conditions and regulatory approvals that govern de-SPAC transactions. The company has not, in the announcement, detailed timing for completing the merger beyond the scheduled update.
What to watch
