Forge Nano Sets September 22 Webcast Ahead of Planned Public Listing via SPAC Merger
Forge Nano, Inc., a Denver-based advanced materials and semiconductor equipment company, has scheduled a pre-listing investor and analyst webcast for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET, according to an announcement made on September 15.
The event comes as the company works toward going public through a merger agreement with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. (NASDAQ: ATII). Forge Nano specializes in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology, which it positions as relevant to two areas drawing significant capital attention: chip manufacturing equipment for the AI era and battery materials for defense applications.
ALD is a thin-film deposition process that applies ultra-thin, uniform coatings at the atomic scale. Forge Nano has applied the technique beyond semiconductors to batteries and other materials, a footprint that places it adjacent to the critical-minerals and battery-metals supply chains that mining investors track closely. The company frames its technology as serving both AI-driven semiconductor demand and defense-sector battery performance requirements.
Pre-listing webcasts of this kind typically give prospective public-market investors and sell-side analysts an early view of a company’s strategy, commercialization progress, and financial position before shares begin trading following the de-SPAC transaction. Details on management commentary from the September 22 session will be of interest given the pending merger structure with Archimedes II.
The announcement lands amid continued investor focus on defense and battery materials. In that space, Defense Metals Corp. (DEFN.V) traded at $0.155, up 3.33% on the day from a previous close of $0.15, with a market capitalization of roughly $60.9 million — a reminder of how closely the small-cap defense-materials cohort is being watched as supply-chain themes evolve.
What to watch
- The September 22 webcast itself — any disclosure on ALD commercialization, customer engagements, or financials ahead of the listing.
- Progress of the merger with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. (NASDAQ: ATII), including shareholder votes, redemption rates, and closing timelines.
- Broader battery and defense materials market conditions, where peers such as Defense Metals (DEFN.V) offer a live read on small-cap sentiment in the sector.
