***Overview of Domestication***

As previously announced, Terrestrial Energy Inc. ("New Terrestrial Energy" or the "Registrant") (formerly known as HCM II Acquisition Corp., or "HCM II"), a Delaware corporation (prior to the Domestication, a Cayman Islands exempted company), entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2025 (as amended from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among HCM II, Terrestrial Energy Development Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Terrestrial Energy Inc., or "Legacy Terrestrial Energy"), and HCM II Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HCM II ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which: (1) at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Closing") and following the Domestication (as defined below), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Terrestrial Energy (the "Merger"), with Legacy Terrestrial Energy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Terrestrial Energy, resulting in a combined company whereby New Terrestrial Energy became the sole stockholder of Legacy Terrestrial Energy, as more fully described in the definitive proxy statement and final prospectus of HCM II, dated September 26, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"), which was filed with the SEC; (2) HCM II domesticated (the "Domestication") as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of HCM II (as amended from time to time, the "Cayman Constitutional Documents"); and (3) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and documents related thereto were consummated (such transactions, together with the Merger and the Domestication, the "Transactions").

An extraordinary general meeting of HCM II shareholders was held on October 20, 2025 (the "Extraordinary General Meeting"), where the HCM II shareholders considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions. In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 7,390 HCM II Class A Ordinary Share (as defined below) exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.54 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $77,890.

On October 23, 2025, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and described in the section titled "*The Domestication Proposal*" of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, HCM II filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which HCM II was domesticated and continued as a Delaware corporation.

Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below), each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares of HCM II, par value $0.0001 per share, converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one (1) Class A ordinary share of HCM II, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a "HCM II Class A Ordinary Share"). As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things: (i) each then issued and outstanding HCM II Class A Ordinary Share (that was not redeemed pursuant to the Redemption) converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant (each a "New Terrestrial Common Share"); (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding warrants representing the right to purchase one HCM II Class A Ordinary Share converted automatically into a warrant to acquire one (1) New Terrestrial Common Share (each a "New Terrestrial Warrant"); and (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding HCM II Units (as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) was cancelled and each holder thereof became entitled to one (1) New Terrestrial Common Share and one-half (1/2) of one New Terrestrial Warrant. No fractional warrants were issued upon such cancellation.

**Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.**

The disclosure set forth in the Introductory Note above is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.

On October 23, 2025, in connection with the Domestication, HCM II filed the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and adopted its new bylaws (the "Bylaws"). The material terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, the general effect upon the rights of holders of HCM II's securities and the terms of the New Terrestrial Common Share and warrants are discussed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the sections titled "The Domestication Proposal," "The Organizational Documents Proposals" and "Description of New Terrestrial Energy's Securities," which are incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.**

The disclosure set forth in the Introductory Note and Item 3.03 of this Current Report is incorporated in this Item 5.03 by reference.

Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are attached as Exhibits 3.2 and 3.3 to this Current Report, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01. Other Events**

The Merger was consummated on October 28, 2025. New Terrestrial Common Shares and New Terrestrial Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the symbols "IMSR" and "IMSRW," respectively, on October 29, 2025. In connection with the Domestication, the name of the Registrant was changed from "HCM II Acquisition Corp." to "Terrestrial Energy Inc."

The Registrant will file a Form 8-K with additional information regarding the Closing of the Merger within the period prescribed for such form.

## Exhibit 2.1

**Exhibit 2.1** 

**PLAN OF DOMESTICATION**

This PLAN OF DOMESTICATION (the "<u>Plan of Domestication</u>") is made on October 23, 2025 and sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which HCM II Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>HCM II</u>"), shall effect a domestication into a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Domestication</u>") to be known as HCM II Acquisition Corp., pursuant to Sections 265 and 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "<u>DGCL</u>").

**RECITALS**

**WHEREAS**, HCM II is a Cayman Islands exempted company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands;

**WHEREAS**, the Board of Directors of HCM II (the "<u>Board</u>") has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of HCM II that HCM II be converted into and thereafter become, and continue to exist as, a corporation in accordance with Sections 265 and 388 of the DGCL; and

**WHEREAS**, pursuant to Section 265(h) of the DGCL, the Board has duly approved, authorized, adopted, ratified and confirmed the Domestication pursuant to Sections 265 and 388 of the DGCL.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, HCM II agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Domestication</u>. Upon the Certificate of Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation becoming effective under Section 103 of the DGCL (the "<u>Effective Time</u>"), HCM II will be converted into a Delaware corporation, pursuant to Sections 265 and 388 of the DGCL, under the name "HCM II Acquisition Corp." (the "<u>Corporation</u>") and will, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, be deemed to be the same entity as HCM II. HCM II will not be required to wind up its affairs or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets, and the Domestication will not be deemed to constitute a dissolution of HCM II and will constitute a continuation of the existence of HCM II in the form of a Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Effective Time</u>. HCM II shall file the Certificate of Domestication, in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>, and the Certificate of Incorporation, in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u> (the "<u>Certificate of Incorporation</u>"), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to Sections 103 and 265 of the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Conversion of Securities</u>. By virtue of the Domestication:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of HCM II will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock of the Corporation having the rights, powers and privileges, and the obligations, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) each of the then issued and outstanding public warrants of HCM II will convert automatically into a public warrant to acquire one share of the Corporation's common stock, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated August 19, 2024, between HCM II and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agreement");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) each of the then issued and outstanding private placement warrants of HCM II will convert automatically into a private placement warrant to acquire one share of the Corporation's common stock, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) each of the then issued and outstanding units of HCM II that have not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary shares and underlying public warrants of HCM II upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of common stock of the Corporation and one-half of one public warrant to acquire one share of common stock of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Tax Matters</u>. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Domestication is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and this Plan of Domestication is intended to constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Governing Documents</u>. (i) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of HCM II (initially filed in accordance with the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands) shall be canceled and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of HCM II, adopted by special resolution dated as of August 15, 2024 and effective as of August 15, 2024, as may be amended, modified or supplemented, shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect and (ii) from and after the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation, in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>, and the By-Laws of the Corporation, in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit C</u> (the "<u>Bylaws</u>"), will govern the affairs of the Corporation and the conduct of its business, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and their respective terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Board of Directors</u>. Each member of the Board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be a director of the Corporation from and after the Effective Time, each of whom shall serve as directors of the Corporation until such time as their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier removal, resignation, death or disability, in each case, in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Officers</u>. Each officer of HCM II as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an officer of the Corporation from and after the Effective Time, and shall retain the same title with the Corporation from and after the Effective Time as he or she had with HCM II immediately prior to the Effective Time, each of whom shall serve until such time as their respective successors have been designated by the board of directors, or until such officer's earlier removal, resignation, death or disability, in each case, in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Effects of Domestication</u>. Immediately upon the Effective Time, the Domestication shall have the effects set forth in Section 265(f) of the DGCL, including, without limitation, all of the rights, privileges and powers of HCM II, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to HCM II, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to HCM II, will remain vested in the Corporation and will be the property of the Corporation and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in HCM II will not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the DGCL. Following the Domestication, all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of HCM II will be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of HCM II will remain attached to the Corporation, and may be enforced against the Corporation to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by the Corporation. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of HCM II as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of HCM II, will not be deemed, as a consequence of the Domestication, to have been transferred to the Corporation for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Further Assurances</u>. If at any time the Corporation, or its successors or assigns, shall consider or be advised that any further assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Plan of Domestication, HCM II and its directors and authorized officers shall be deemed to have granted to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments and assurances in law and to do all acts necessary or proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Corporation and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Plan of Domestication, and the directors and authorized officers of the Corporation are fully authorized in the name of HCM II or otherwise to take any and all such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Amendment or Termination</u>. This Plan of Domestication may be amended or terminated at any time before the Effective Time by action of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Miscellaneous</u>. The provisions of this Plan of Domestication shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Plan of Domestication shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions or rule (except to the extent that the laws of the Cayman Islands govern the Domestication) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. This Plan of Domestication may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

\*\*\*

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, this Plan of Domestication has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of HCM II as of the date first written above.

**ARTICLE III<br> PURPOSE**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now

**ARTICLE IV<br> CAPITAL STOCK**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue
is 501,000,000, which shall be divided into two classes as follows:

500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("**Common Stock**"); and

1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("**Preferred Stock**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "**Board of Directors**") is hereby expressly
authorized, by resolution or resolutions, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred
Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the designation of such series, the powers (including voting powers), preferences
and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series
of Preferred Stock and the number of shares of such series, which number the Board of Directors may, except where otherwise provided in
the designation of such series, increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock) or decrease (but not
below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each series of Preferred
Stock, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock (a "**Preferred Stock Designation** ")), no vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Each holder of record of Common Stock, as such, shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock that
is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally.
Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation
(including any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms, number of shares, powers, designations, preferences or relative,
participating, optional or other special rights (including, without limitation, voting rights), or to qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or
together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any
Preferred Stock Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to only
such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock
Designation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred
Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Common Stock with respect to the payment
of dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock of the Corporation, dividends and other distributions may be
declared and paid ratably on the Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are legally available for this purpose at such
times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment
of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred
Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Common Stock with respect to the distribution
of assets of the Corporation upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the
number of shares held by them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but
not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock
of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision
thereto) on a one vote per share basis, and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock voting separately
as a class shall be required therefor, unless a vote of any such holder is required pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including
any Preferred Stock Designation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. In addition to any vote required by applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation (including any

as a single class: this <u>Article V</u>, <u>Article VI</u>, <u>Article VII</u>, <u>Article VIII</u>, and Section
B of <u>Article X</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind, in whole or
in part, the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect from time to time, the "**Bylaws**") without the assent or vote of
the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation. In addition
to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by this Certificate of Incorporation (including
any Preferred Stock Designation), by the Bylaws or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66⅔% in voting
power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall

the Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

**ARTICLE VI<br> BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs
of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any series
of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time solely by resolution
of the majority of the Board of Directors. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors
shall be and is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be
possible, of one third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is authorized
to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III at the time such classification becomes
effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding,
each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders
at which such director was elected; <u>provided</u>, that each director initially assigned to Class I shall serve for a term expiring
at the Corporation's first annual meeting of stockholders held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; each
director initially assigned to Class II shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation's second annual meeting of stockholders
held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; and each director initially assigned to Class III shall serve for a
term expiring at the Corporation's third annual meeting of stockholders held after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; <u>provided further</u>, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor and
be subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding,
any newly created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring
on the Board of Directors (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled only by
a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders).
Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which
such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death,
resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause
and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote on the election of such director, voting together as a single class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Board of Directors may establish one or more committees to which may be delegated
any or all of the powers and duties of the Board of Directors to the full extent permitted by law.

**ARTICLE VII<br> LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director or
officer of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated
or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such
amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification
of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which applicable law permits
the Corporation to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses) through provisions of the Bylaws, agreements with such persons,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of this provision shall not adversely affect
any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this <u>Article VII</u>, nor the adoption of any provision of
this Certificate of Incorporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall eliminate, reduce or
otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time
of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.

**ARTICLE VIII<br> CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING, ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at
a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders by
such holders; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice
and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate(s) of designation relating to such series of Preferred
Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by the Chief
Executive Officer, the President, the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or any other person designated by
the Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. An annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and
for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, on such date,
and at such time as shall be fixed exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof.

**ARTICLE IX<br> MISCELLANEOUS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions
in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion
of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that
is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without
limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents
from personal liability in respect of their good faith service or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware (or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction another state or federal court (as appropriate) located
within the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action
or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current
or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders,
creditors or other constituents, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director or officer
of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as either may be
amended and/or restated from time to time), (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, or (v) any action
as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, except for any action asserted to enforce

thereunder, for which there is exclusive federal jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive
forum for any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of Section B of this <u>Article X</u>.

<u>STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Time and Place of Meetings</u>. All meetings of stockholders will be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors (the "**Board**") of HCM II Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "**Corporation**"), from time to time in such manner as set forth in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation (the "**Certificate of Incorporation**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place, but may instead be held by means of remote communications in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "**DGCL**"), subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt from time to time. The Board may cancel or reschedule to an earlier or later date any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Annual Meetings</u>. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders will elect the directors from the nominees for director, to succeed those directors whose terms expire at such meeting and will transact such other business, in such case as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with <u>Sections 9</u>, <u>10</u>, <u>11</u> and <u>12</u>. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Special Meetings</u>.(a) A special meeting of stockholders may be called only by such persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, in each case to transact only such business as is specified in the notice of such meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Notice of Meetings</u>. Notice of every meeting of stockholders, stating the place, if any, date and time thereof, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, will be given, in a form permitted by <u>Section 28</u> or by the DGCL, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided by law. When a meeting is recessed or adjourned to another place, date, or time, notice need not be given of the recessed or adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such recessed or adjourned meeting, are (a) announced at the meeting at which the recess or adjournment is taken (b) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (c) set forth in the notice of meeting; *provided*, *however*, that if the recess or adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the recess or adjournment a new record date is fixed for the recessed or adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such recessed or adjourned meeting, must be given in conformity herewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Inspectors</u>. The Board will, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer of the meeting will appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or duly appointed inspectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Quorum</u>. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws ("**Bylaws**"), or in a certificate of designation of a series of preferred stock filed by the Board pursuant to the DGCL ("**Preferred Stock Designation**"), the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business thereat; *provided*, *however*, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or in a Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established, will not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding officer of the meeting shall have the power to recess or adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in <u>Section 14</u>, until a quorum is present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Voting List</u>. The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by applicable law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a location where stockholders may attend in person, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 7 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Voting; Proxies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>General</u>. Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, in these Bylaws, or in a Preferred Stock Designation, each stockholder will be entitled at every meeting of the stockholders to one (1) vote for each share of stock having voting power standing in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation on the record date for the meeting and such votes may be cast either in person or by proxy. Every proxy must be authorized in a manner permitted by Section 212 of the DGCL (or any successor provision) and may be documented, signed and delivered in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL (or any successor provision) provided that such authorization shall set forth, or be delivered with, information enabling the Corporation to reasonably determine the identity of the stockholder granting such authorization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Vote Required for Stockholder Action</u>. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast on the matter (excluding any abstentions or broker non-votes) will be the act of the stockholders with respect to all matters other than the election of directors (who will be elected by a plurality of all votes properly cast), except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation, a Preferred Stock Designation, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Order of Business</u>. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson, if any, or in his or her absence, by the Vice Chairperson, if any, or in his or her absence, by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence, by the President, or in his or her absence, by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Board prior to the meeting, the presiding person of any meeting of stockholders will also determine the order of business and have the authority in his or her sole discretion to determine the rules of procedure and regulate the conduct of the meeting, including without limitation by: (a) imposing restrictions on the persons (other than stockholders of the Corporation or their duly appointed proxy holders) that may attend the meeting; (b) ascertaining whether any stockholder or his or her proxy holder may be excluded from the meeting based upon any determination by the presiding officer, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has disrupted or is likely to disrupt the proceedings thereat; (c) determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at the meeting; (d) ruling on all procedural questions that may arise during or in connection with the meeting; (e) determining whether any nomination or business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been properly brought before the meeting; and (f) determining the time or times at which the polls for voting at the meeting will be opened and closed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Notice of Stockholder Proposals</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Business to Be Conducted at Annual Meeting</u>. At an annual meeting of stockholders, only such business may be conducted as has been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business (other than the nomination of a person for election as a director, which is governed by <u>Section 11</u>, and, to the extent applicable, <u>Section 12</u>), must be (i) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (A) has complied with all applicable requirements of this <u>Section 10</u> and <u>Section 12</u> in relation to such business, (B) was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time of giving the notice required by <u>Section 12(a)</u> and is a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time of the annual meeting, and (C) is entitled to vote at the annual meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (ii) will be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business before an annual meeting of stockholders (other than proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**Exchange Act**") and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Required Form for Stockholder Proposals</u>. To be in proper form, regardless of whether the subject matter is already the subject of any notice to stockholders from the Board, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must set forth in writing, on the form provided to the stockholder upon written request to the Secretary and verification that the requesting party is a stockholder or is acting on behalf of a stockholder, including the following information, which must be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided will be true and correct on the record date of the annual meeting and as of such date that is ten (10) business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; which update shall be delivered to the Secretary no later than five (5) business days after the record date for the annual meeting and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date of the annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Information Regarding the Proposing Person</u>. As to each Proposing Person (as such term is defined in <u>Section 12(d)(ii)</u>):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the name and address of such Proposing Person, as they appear on the Corporation's stock transfer book;
