PFIC ANNUAL INFORMATION STATEMENT

Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g)

 

 

StoneBridge Acquisition II Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), may be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025 and/or one or more other taxable years. This Annual Information Statement is furnished pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) to enable United States shareholders of the Company who wish to do so to make a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election under Section 1295 of the Code with respect to their Class A ordinary shares of the Company. The QEF election is optional and can only be made by the shareholder. The Company is unable to make this election on behalf of a shareholder. Please note that a QEF election may not be recognized for state income tax purposes in some states. The furnishing of this statement is not, and shall not be construed as, an admission by the Company that it is, or has been, a PFIC for any taxable year. Each shareholder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Company and of making, or not making, a QEF election.
