阿拉斯加州属机构2500万美元入股微型核反应堆公司：AIDEA任锚定投资人，注资计入NuCube合并最低现金条件
阿拉斯加州属公共公司阿拉斯加工业开发与出口局（Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority，AIDEA）将以锚定投资人身份向微型核反应堆公司 NuCube Energy 直接投资2,500万美元。NuCube 10月19日经 GlobeNewswire 发布公告，协议于当日签署，公告自 Idaho Falls 发出。AIDEA 是阿拉斯加州立法机构1967年设立的独立公共公司，职能是为州内经济发展、就业、基础设施与资源开发提供融资与投资工具。
按协议条款，AIDEA 以每股9.25美元购入 NuCube 的 A 类普通股，较用于确定其与 Launch Two Acquisition Corp（NASDAQ: LPBB）合并交易换股比例的10.82美元参考价折让约14.5%；每股另附半份认股权证，行权价11.50美元、期限5年。这笔2,500万美元投资构成该合并交易项下的交易融资，计入交易交割所需的7,500万美元最低现金条件。NuCube 表示，资金将用于其 NuSun 工厂预制微型反应堆平台的研发、制造准备与许可工作。
州长 Mike Dunleavy 在公告中表示：「阿拉斯加一直是需求催生创新之地。像 NuCube 的 NuSun 反应堆这样的先进核技术，有潜力为传统方案成本高昂或不切实际的社区与工业提供可靠、可负担的电力与供热。」AIDEA 副执行主任 Brandon Brefczynski 表示，该局的职责是在不依赖州拨款的情况下推进创造就业、扩大经济机会与改善能源可靠性的项目。NuCube 首席执行官 Cristian Rabiti 称，AIDEA 作为锚定投资人，为公司继续推进与 Launch Two 的合并提供了坚实的资本基础。
公告同时载明前瞻性限定：NuCube 与 Launch Two 的企业合并于2026年6月25日达成协议、10月19日修订，合并尚待交割，须满足股东批准、证券监管机构申报生效与上市要求等交割条件，存在不能按期完成或不能完成的风险；合并完成后，合并后公司预计在 Nasdaq 上市。公告称，阿拉斯加许多偏远社区与工业运营依赖成本高昂的进口化石燃料、且不在传统电力基础设施覆盖范围内，这是该州支持微型反应堆路线的背景。
Alaska State Authority Makes $25 Million Anchor Investment in Microreactor Company: AIDEA Backs NuCube Ahead of Pending Merger
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), an independently governed public corporation of the State of Alaska, will make a $25 million direct investment in microreactor company NuCube Energy as the anchor investor in the company's current financing. NuCube announced the investment on October 19 in a GlobeNewswire release issued from Idaho Falls; the agreement was signed the same day. AIDEA was established by the Alaska Legislature in 1967 to provide financing and investment tools supporting economic development, job creation, infrastructure and responsible resource development in the state.
Under the agreement, AIDEA will purchase $25 million of NuCube Class A ordinary shares at $9.25 per share, an approximately 14.5 percent discount to the $10.82 reference price used to determine the exchange ratio in NuCube's business combination with Launch Two Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: LPBB), plus one-half of one warrant per share, exercisable at $11.50 within five years. The $25 million will count as transaction financing under the business combination agreement and toward the $75 million minimum cash condition required for closing. NuCube said it intends to use the proceeds to advance development, manufacturing readiness and licensing for its NuSun factory-built microreactor platform.
Governor Mike Dunleavy said in the announcement: 'Alaska has always been a place where innovation is driven by necessity. Advanced nuclear technologies like NuCube's NuSun reactor have the potential to deliver reliable, affordable power and heat to communities and industries where traditional solutions are costly or impractical.' AIDEA Deputy Executive Director Brandon Brefczynski said the authority's role is to help advance projects that create jobs, expand economic opportunities and improve energy reliability without relying on state appropriations. NuCube CEO Cristian Rabiti said AIDEA, as anchor investor, gives the company a solid capital foundation as it continues toward closing its business combination with Launch Two.
The announcement carries forward-looking qualifications: the business combination between NuCube and Launch Two, agreed on June 25, 2026, and amended on October 19, has not yet closed and remains subject to conditions including shareholder approval, effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC, and listing requirements, and it may not be completed on time or at all. Upon closing, the combined company is expected to be listed on Nasdaq. According to the announcement, many Alaska communities and industrial operations rely on costly imported fossil fuel and sit beyond the reach of traditional power infrastructure, the backdrop for the state's support of the microreactor pathway.
