(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)

We are a newly formed blank check company. We intend to search for a target company in the industrial innovation and energy transition sectors. We will focus on companies with an enterprise value of $500 million or more.

As our name indicates, we are the eighth blank check company created by Hennessy Capital.

Since 2014, our management team has executed or otherwise served as an advisor to 13 different pending or completed business combinations with early- to late-stage industrial products and services companies, industrial technology and energy transition companies on six continents. Our management team is one of the most experienced SPAC sponsors and is a leader in the SPAC asset class.

Daniel Hennessy, our CEO and chairman of the board, runs Hennessy Capital. He founded the company in 2013.

Nicholas Geeza, our CFO, is the head of business development at Hennessy Capital Growth Strategies.

(Note: Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII filed its S-1 on Dec. 5, 2025, and disclosed the terms for its SPAC IPO: 17.5 million units at $10.00 each to raise $175 million. Each unit consists of a share of common stock and one right to receive one-fifteenth (1/15th) of a share upon the completion of an initial business combination.)
