Iron Dome Acquisition I Corp., a special purpose acquisition company formed to pursue a business combination, has priced its initial public offering at $10.00 per unit. The company sold 15 million units in the offering, raising gross proceeds of $150 million, according to a company statement.

Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Under the terms disclosed, each whole warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. The units are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "IDACU" on May 15, 2026.

Iron Dome Acquisition I Corp. indicated that once the securities that make up the units start trading separately, the Class A ordinary shares and the warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "IDAC" and "IDACW," respectively. The company said the offering is expected to close on May 18, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The SPAC was organized to pursue a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Management specified that its search for targets will focus on companies operating in the cybersecurity, defense technology, artificial intelligence and data infrastructure sectors.

Santander served as the sole book-running manager for the offering. As is common in public offerings, the company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to buy up to 2.25 million additional units at the initial public offering price to cover potential over-allotments.

Regulatory filings show a registration statement relating to the securities was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2026. The company did not provide further operational details or disclose a specific timeline for identifying or closing a target business beyond the standard formation objectives for a SPAC.

This report presents the offering terms and the stated strategic focus areas as provided by the company. No additional claims about prospective transactions, target companies, or timing beyond the company disclosure are made here.

Risks

  • The offering's close is subject to customary closing conditions, meaning the transaction may not complete on the expected closing date - this affects the capital markets and SPAC activity.
  • The company has not identified a specific target; uncertainty about the timing and outcome of any future business combination could affect investor exposure to cybersecurity, defense technology, AI and data infrastructure sectors.
  • Underwriters have a 45-day overallotment option up to 2.25 million additional units, which could alter the number of units sold and the dilution profile for original investors.
