George Town, Cayman Islands, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMR Resources Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: AMACU) (the “Company”) today announced that it closed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 26,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, including the issuance of 1,000,000 units as result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option. The gross proceeds from the offering were $260 million before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The units began trading on the Global Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “AMACU” on July 17, 2026.
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “AMAC” and “AMACW”, respectively.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, and the simultaneous private placements of units, to consummate the Company’s initial business combination.
