SpacBrain’s read
Trust settled
The deal closed — SPAC shares became the target's shares, so there is no trust left to redeem (nobody missed a window; holders who wanted cash elected it at the vote).
In plain terms
- What it is
- A SPAC from AQR Capital Management Holdings, LLC, listed on Nasdaq in March 2021.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy Royalty Management Holding Corp. That purchase completed, and it stopped being a SPAC — the shares became shares in the business it bought.
- What you should know
- This SPAC has finished. The purchase completed, and the shares became shares in the company it bought — anyone who wanted the cash instead asked for it at the vote, so there is no cash left here to claim and no deadline left to miss.

This vehicle has finished, so there is no window to file a cash-per-share figure for and none will follow. No estimate is shown in its place.
Nothing dated is on file. That is an absence in the record, not a statement that nothing is coming.
Yield to redemption
Nothing left to redeem — no yield to compute.
This SPAC has finished — its trust was paid back or used to close the deal, so there is nothing left to redeem and no yield to compute. A yield to redemption is a claim that you can hand these shares back for the trust cash. That account is closed, so this page will not print a number here.

The score
deterministic, from filed fieldsAMAO is not in the scored universe, so no score is shown. A withheld score is a fact about the record, not a verdict about the company.
The score is only published for names that carry both a price and a filed cash-per-share figure — 295 of the tracked fleet today. The rest keep an empty dial rather than a modelled one, and fill in by themselves as the fields land.
The company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker AMAO. The company priced its initial public offering on March 19, 2021, under SEC file number 333-252751, an S-1 registration of shares sold for cash. The pricing prospectus, filed as 424B4 (accession 0001213900-21-016699), self-described the registrant as a blank-check company and assigned it SEC SIC industry code 6794 (Patent Owners & Lessors). The company completed a business combination and no longer files as a blank-check vehicle, with the closing established by an 8-K filed November 6, 2023 (accession 0001477932-23-008092) reporting a change in shell company status under Item 5.06. EDGAR now files this CIK under the name Royalty Management Holding Corp.
Material findings
from the full read of every filingEvery document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.
The company itself names limited liquidity and trading in its own securities among its risks. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not in the portion of the document read here, so no royalty income, asset or cash figure is attributed to this filing.
The consideration is a fixed 11,100,000 shares, so the target's holders bear all the price risk and nothing adjusts for redemptions or for the SPAC's own share count. The $111,000,000 headline rests entirely on a $10.00 per share convention, and the document itself sets up the market-price comparison and then leaves it blank — so the $10.00-based figure is the only value stated and it is not a market valuation. Because the Royalty share count is measured fully diluted after conversion of convertible debt and warrants, those instruments divide the same fixed pool rather than enlarging it.
The mechanism is a fixed conversion of the target's fully diluted common stock into the SPAC's Class A shares, with convertible debt and warrants counted inside the target's share base rather than added on top — so those instruments dilute Royalty's own holders. The specific share number falls outside the extracted portion of this version and should not be attributed to it.
The structure is established — a merger of the SPAC's Indiana subsidiary into an Indiana target, with the target surviving as a subsidiary — but the consideration figures fall outside the extracted portion of this version and should not be attributed to it.
The structure is established but the consideration figures fall outside the extracted portion of this version, so none should be attributed to it. The document records that the underlying agreement has already been amended, without stating when or how.
The structure — an Indiana merger sub into an Indiana target, with the target surviving as a subsidiary of the Delaware SPAC — is established here. The consideration figures fall outside the extracted portion of this version and should not be attributed to it; the document records only that the underlying agreement has been amended, without giving dates.

The public float is nearly extinguished either way. Assuming no redemptions, the Class A public holders would own about 3.6% of the combined company against 17.9% for the sponsor and its affiliates, 75.5% for Royalty's shareholders and 3.1% for the IPO representative; if the maximum number of shares are redeemed, the public holders own 0%. The filing also discloses that certain Royalty holders are affiliated with the sponsor, including Royalty's chief executive Thomas Sauve, who sits on the SPAC's board, and that this group would control 63.6% under either scenario.
The public float ends up negligible on the filing's own figures: about 3.6% of the combined company assuming no redemptions, and 0% if the maximum number of shares are redeemed, against 75.5% or 78.3% for Royalty's shareholders. The sponsor and parties affiliated with it — including Royalty's chief executive Thomas Sauve, who serves on the SPAC's board — would control 63.6% under either scenario. Units separate into one Class A share and one-half of one warrant, so a holder needs at least two units to receive a whole warrant.
The consideration is stated two ways and only one of them is filled in: an aggregate value of $111,000,000 based on a value of $10.00 per share, and a market-based figure the document leaves blank alongside a blank last sale price, with an express warning that the market value of those shares may fluctuate significantly. The filing states that following the business combination American Acquisition Opportunity's Class A stockholders — the public holders — will own approximately 3.6% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company.
The filing gives two values for the same 11,100,000 shares: $111,000,000 based on a value of $10.00 per share, and $111.4 million based on a last sale price of $10.04. That second figure is dated November 30, 2022 and described as the last trading day prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, which does not sit with a document dated February 3, 2023 — a stale reference carried forward into the amendment. The filing itself warns the market value of the shares may fluctuate significantly.
The filing prices the consideration twice and states the ownership outcome plainly: an aggregate $111,000,000 at $10.00 per share, or $111.4 million using the $10.04 last sale price on November 30, 2022. Assuming no redemptions, public Class A holders end up with approximately 5.0% of the combined company against 17.6% for former Class B holders, 74.4% for Royalty's shareholders and 3.0% for the IPO representative and affiliated parties. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, the public Class A holders own 0%.
Filings
live EDGAR feedEverything this company has filed with the SEC recently, newest first, each with a plain summary of what changed and why it matters.
What changed: The 10-Q filed under Commission file number 001-40233 is that of Royalty Management Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: RMCO, warrants exercisable at $11.50) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with 15,172,708 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 12, 2026. The forward-looking-statements section addresses the company's future financial performance, its ability to invest in growth initiatives and pursue acquisition opportunities, and the limited liquidity and trading of its securities. Why it matters: The company itself names limited liquidity and trading in its own securities among its risks. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not in the portion of the document read here, so no royalty income, asset or cash figure is attributed to this filing.
What changed: Royalty Management Holding Corporation, the American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. successor, held its 2026 annual meeting on June 30, 2026 with 15,149,705 shares eligible to vote. Shareholders approved the selection of CM3 Advisory as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, with 12,308,780 votes for, 4,312 against and no abstentions. No other proposals or voting results are reported in the filing, which is signed by Chief Executive Officer Thomas M. Sauve. Why it matters: An annual meeting whose only reported item is auditor ratification is unusual, since directors normally stand for election — either the board is classified with no class up this year, or the results for other items were omitted. The vote itself was uncontested at over 99.9% in favour. Nothing here affects a trust, a redemption right or a deadline; it confirms the former AMAO vehicle's successor remains a reporting company with a functioning audit relationship.
What changed: Royalty Management Holding Corporation (successor to SPAC American Acquisition Opportunity Inc.) called its annual shareholder meeting for Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET, held in person at the company's headquarters, 12115 Visionary Way, Suite 174, Fishers, Indiana, record date May 4, 2026. The sole substantive item disclosed is approval of CM3 Advisory as independent registered public accounting firm for calendar 2026. Voting occurs by mail or during the meeting itself. Directors received 25,000 stock warrants each year for board service, valued using the Black-Scholes model. Why it matters: Ordinary annual governance with no trust, deadline or redemption consequence for legacy American Acquisition Opportunity holders. Two mechanical points matter. The meeting is in person in Indiana with voting only by mail or attendance, no virtual option, which materially suppresses retail participation. And directors are paid in 25,000 warrants per year rather than cash or restricted stock, a structure that adds share count each year and whose reported value is an amortized Black-Scholes figure rather than cash actually paid.

What changed: Royalty Management Holding Corporation, the successor to American Acquisition Opportunity Inc., held a combined annual shareholder meeting for the years 2024 and 2025 on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time in person at its headquarters at 12115 Visionary Way, Suite 174, Fishers, Indiana, record date June 2, 2025. The Board determined that Messrs. Kincaid and Smith and Ms. Griffith are independent. Director fees of $15,000 were converted to preferred stock on September 1, 2024, and Julie Griffith was appointed a director on October 31, 2023 as part of the Business Combination. Why it matters: Combining two years of annual meetings into one session means shareholders went a full cycle without the opportunity to elect directors or vote on auditors - a governance lapse the company is curing retrospectively. Converting director fees into preferred stock rather than paying cash conserves liquidity but places board members ahead of common holders in the capital structure. The American Acquisition trust was released at the de-SPAC.

In plain English
tap a term to open itEvery piece of jargon this page could have used, and what it actually means.
Open the plain-English guide
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected
A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.
Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash
Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.
Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date
Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.
Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share
Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.
Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you
Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.
Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you
Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.
Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes
The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.
ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside
SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.
De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company
The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.
Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal
A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.
Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing
Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.
Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since
A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

admitted from EDGAR's QUARTERLY FORM INDEX, walked without any SIC filter. The SIC 6770 census could not reach this registrant: EDGAR reassigns a shell's SIC the day it stops being one, and this CIK now files under 6794 (Patent Owners & Lessors). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2021-02-05 → 8-A12B 2021-03-17 → 424B4 2021-03-19 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts.

The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-252751, which belongs to S-1 0001213900-21-006896 (2021-02-05) — a registration of shares sold for CASH, which is what makes it an IPO rather than merger consideration. Blank-check status from the registrant's own first-person sentence in that prospectus (EDGAR full-text search, 424B4 2021-03-19). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001477932-23-008092 (2023-11-06) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,3.01,3.03,5.01,5.02,5.03,5.06,9.01). EDGAR now files this CIK as "Royalty Management Holding Corp" — the SPAC's own name is kept here and the successor is the target. ipoSizeM and deadline left NULL: gross-proceeds prose conflates the over-allotment with the offering, and a charter deadline belonging to a vehicle that has ended is a date nobody can act on. ipoDate is the 424B pricing date.
