Samos Energy Acquisition Corporation has priced its initial public offering at $10.00 per unit for 20,000,000 units, with the units slated to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SAMO.U on July 10, 2026. The structure for each unit pairs one Class A ordinary share with one-half of a redeemable warrant.
Under the offering terms, two half-warrants make a whole warrant, and each whole warrant grants the holder the right to buy one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50. The company has indicated that, once the units split and begin trading separately, the Class A ordinary shares are expected to trade under the ticker SAMO and the warrants under SAMO.WS on the NYSE.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is serving as the sole book-running manager for the IPO. In connection with the offering, Samos Energy Acquisition Corporation has given Cantor Fitzgerald a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units at the IPO price.
The registration statement for the offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2026, clearing the way for trading to begin the next day.
