Lichty Paul Robert has filed a Schedule 13D, indicating his ownership of 16,532,751 shares, or 7.5%, of Forge Nano Holdings, Inc. This filing is significant as it follows the recent merger of Forge Nano, marking a new chapter for the company.

Forge Nano Holdings, Inc., which operates within the special industry machinery sector, was previously known as ATII Holdings Inc. The company is headquartered in Thornton, Colorado, and has undergone significant structural changes following its merger with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. This merger was approved by shareholders on October 16, 2026, and officially completed on October 22, 2026.

The filing reveals that Lichty, who is both the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Forge Nano, acquired his shares as part of the merger agreement. Specifically, he received 15,644,258 shares and options to acquire an additional 1,380,471 shares, with 888,493 of those options exercisable within 60 days. This substantial ownership stake underscores Lichty’s commitment to the company and may influence its strategic direction moving forward.

According to the Schedule 13D, Lichty’s acquisition of shares is primarily for investment purposes. He has not disclosed any immediate plans that would lead to significant changes in the company’s operations or management structure. However, he retains the right to engage in discussions regarding the company’s future, which could include proposals for extraordinary transactions or changes to the board composition.

The merger has resulted in Forge Nano issuing a total of 218,655,585 shares, which includes shares distributed to former stockholders of both Forge Nano and Archimedes Tech SPAC. The merger not only reshapes the company’s ownership structure but also positions it competitively in the special industry machinery sector.

In addition to his substantial shareholding, Lichty is bound by a lock-up agreement that restricts his ability to transfer shares for a period of six months following the merger, unless certain conditions are met. This agreement is designed to stabilize the company’s stock price post-merger and reflects a common practice in such transactions.

As Forge Nano continues to navigate the post-merger landscape, Lichty’s significant ownership stake could play a crucial role in shaping the company’s future strategies. The filing, accession number 0000950142-26-002899, highlights the importance of transparency in ownership stakes and potential influence within the company.

Looking ahead, it remains to be seen how Lichty’s plans may evolve and what impact they will have on Forge Nano and its stakeholders. The company is likely to continue its focus on innovation and growth within the special industry machinery sector, and Lichty’s leadership will be pivotal in guiding these efforts.
