Hall

Chadwick Acquisition Corp.

Announces Letter of Intent with REEcycle Holdings for De-SPAC Business Combination

New

York, April 1, 2026 — Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: HCACU) (“HCAC”) and REEcycle Holdings,

Inc. (“REEcycle”) today announced the execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for a proposed

de-SPAC business combination.

The

proposed transaction values REEcycle at approximately US$600 million, assuming no redemptions by HCAC public shareholders, with

REEcycle existing shareholders expected to roll 100% of their equity into the combined publicly listed entity. The transaction

is expected to include a minimum US$50 million PIPE financing at US$10.00 per share, providing committed capital at closing and

supporting the execution of REEcycle’s near-term growth strategy.

The

transaction comes at a pivotal time for U.S. critical minerals policy. China currently controls an estimated 90% of rare earth

separation and processing and ~93% of permanent magnet manufacturing globally.1 In response, the U.S. Government, through

Department of Defense and Department of Energy initiatives, has committed billions of dollars to strengthening domestic critical

mineral supply chains, including rare earth processing.2 REEcycle has been awarded and is drawing upon US$5.1 million

of Defense Production Act funding, supporting the advancement of its domestic rare earth processing capabilities.

REEcycle

is advancing a technology-led solution to rare earth supply constraints. Its proprietary recycling process extracts and separates

rare earth elements from end-of-life electronics and industrial products, offering a faster, lower-capex and scalable alternative

to traditional mining. This approach enables near-term domestic supply while reducing exposure to geopolitical disruption.

The

global rare earth market was valued at approximately US$19 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034,

with recycling expected to grow at an accelerated rate as demand for domestically sourced materials increases.3

REEcycle’s

Executive Chairman and largest shareholder is Mick McMullen, a highly respected mining executive with over 30 years of leadership

experience across global mining and capital markets. He is best known for his tenure as President and CEO of Detour Gold Corporation,

where he grew the company’s market capitalisation from C$2.1 billion to C$4.9 billion in nine months, culminating in its

acquisition by Kirkland Lake Gold.4 His investment in REEcycle reflects strong conviction in recycling-led onshoring.

“We

are addressing a critical U.S. supply gap with a faster and more capital-efficient solution than traditional mining, scalable across

the U.S. and globally. This is both a technology opportunity and a national security priority.”
