1. No dated redemption election is on file for this name. That is an absence in the record, not proof that the right has gone — but it does mean this page cannot tell you a day to act by.
2. Cash held in trust is $10.00 per share as last filed. That is the figure a redemption pays out at, plus whatever interest the trust earns between the filing and the window.
3. The charter runs to a date no filing we hold states; from the IPO date and the charter term we estimate 13 July 2028. Whenever it falls, if no deal closes by then the trust is returned to holders — a floor of a different kind: it pays out, but you do not choose when, and this one you should read out of the prospectus yourself.

  The $230,000,000 trust deposit establishes the maximum liquidation reserve available to public shareholders if the 24-month deadline passes without a merger. Because the company notes that founders are not entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust upon a failed combination, the filing structurally ties sponsor equity recovery to successful deal execution. With only $1,487,163 retained outside the trust plus optional working capital loans to finance due diligence, management faces compressed runway, raising urgency around target identification. The offering documents define the target universe as enterprises with "significant international energy assets that are operational and cash generative," while explicitly flagging geopolitical instability, commodity volatility, and supply chain disruptions as operational risks. Warrant terms permit exercise at $11.50 per share, becoming exercisable 30 days post-business combination and expiring five years thereafter, subject to anti-dilution resets if future equity pricing falls below $9.20.

• 8-K15 July 20260001213900-26-078382

  This establishes the baseline trust value ($10.00 per unit in trust from the IPO), the 24-month deadline (July 13, 2028) for a business combination, and the sponsor's lock-up and redemption waiver terms. It confirms the sponsor paid $25,000 for 5,750,000 founder shares, representing a significant economic interest with a 1-year lock-up post-business combination.

• 424B314 July 20260001213900-26-077683

  A new $200 million energy-focused blank check with a hard 24-month clock and standard 20% promote; the 27.8% pass-through of founder-share economics to non-managing sponsor investors at $0.004 per share is the notable disclosure, since those investors get enhanced returns without any obligation to vote for a deal.

• S-1/A8 July 20260001213900-26-076151

  This filing is the formal prospectus for the IPO. For investors tracking trust value and redemption mechanics, it confirms: trust $10.00/share, 24-month deadline, standard redemption rights for public shareholders, and a 15% cap on redemptions per holder during a vote. For deal progress, it is a pre-IPO document so no target has been identified. For sponsor conduct, the filing details material compensation: the sponsor's shares at $0.004, the 6M private warrants, the $10k/month admin fee, and the $300k loan repayment. The anti-dilution protection for founder shares is highly favorable to the sponsor, which will retain 20% of the pro-forma equity at de-SPAC regardless of new share issuances. The inclusion of non-managing sponsor investors who receive founder share economics provides additional alignment with existing shareholders but could influence voting. The filing also contains extensive risk disclosures regarding PFIC status, CFIUS review, tax implications (including a 1% excise tax), and potential conflicts of interest.

• S-112 June 20260001213900-26-068402

  For redemption deadline trackers: the 24-month window starts after the IPO closing date (unknown exactly but soon). Trust value is $10.00 per share at closing. No automatic extension; any extension requires a shareholder vote triggering redemption rights. Sponsor conduct is locked in: sponsor cannot propose amendments affecting redemption timing without offering redemption. The 15% redemption cap may limit large shareholders' exit. The non-managing sponsor investors (institutional) have indirect interests but no control over sponsor decisions. The trust will be invested in US treasuries/money market funds. Interest net of taxes can be used to pay dissolution expenses up to $100,000. The sponsor indemnifies the trust against third-party claims but only up to $10.00 per share.

  These structural terms dictate investor risk and capital efficiency. The nominal $0.004 per share founder acquisition cost generates immediate dilution, which the filing’s NTBV table projects ranging from a $1.49 premium over public offering prices (at maximum redemption) to a $3.83 deficit (at 50% redemption). The 37.50% public voting threshold, coupled with irrevocable founder share voting agreements, materially reduces the hurdle for approving a transaction.

  What changed: Samos Energy Acquisition Corp announced on August 31, 2026, that holders of its initial public offering units may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and warrants commencing on that date. The separated securities will trade on the NYSE under symbols SAMO and SAMO.WS, while undivided units continue trading as SAMO.U. Why it matters: This filing does not report changes to the redemption deadline or trust value; it only establishes the tradability of components following the IPO, which is a standard procedural event for SPACs in the SEARCHING status.

• 10-Q24 August 20260001213900-26-093118

  What changed: The filing reports that Samos Energy Acquisition Corp. consummated its Initial Public Offering on July 13, 2026, issuing 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $230,000,000, and simultaneously sold 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald Co. for $6,000,000. Consequently, $230,000,000 was deposited into a Trust Account. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, releasing 750,000 Founder Shares from forfeiture. Total transaction costs were $18,075,702, including $4,000,000 in cash underwriting fees and $9,800,000 in deferred underwriting fees. The Company settled outstanding borrowings from the Sponsor, with the Sponsor remitting a net amount of $1,753,720 to the Company on July 17, 2026. An Administrative Support Agreement was entered into with the Sponsor for $10,000 per month starting July 10, 2026. Why it matters: This filing confirms the successful completion of the SPAC's IPO and the establishment of the Trust Account, which is critical for determining the redemption value ($10.00 per share) and the deadline for completing an Initial Business Combination (July 13, 2028). It details the capital structure post-IPO, including the significant deferred underwriting liability ($9,800,000) payable upon business combination completion, and clarifies the economic interests of the Sponsor and non-managing sponsor investors through the valuation of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants.

• 10-Q24 August 20260001213900-26-093116

  What changed: The filing reports that Samos Energy Acquisition Corp. consummated its Initial Public Offering on July 13, 2026, selling 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $230,000,000, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Simultaneously, the Company sold 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald Co. for $6,000,000. A total of $230,000,000 was deposited into a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer Trust Company. The filing discloses total transaction costs of $18,075,702, comprising $4,000,000 in cash underwriting fees, $9,800,000 in deferred underwriting fees, $1,283,702 in other offering costs, and a $2,992,000 fair value charge for 1,600,000 Founder Shares issued to non-managing sponsor investors. The Sponsor settled outstanding borrowings by offsetting amounts owed for Private Placement Warrants against promissory note balances, remitting a net amount of $1,753,720 to the Company on July 17, 2026. Additionally, the Company entered into an Administrative Support Agreement with the Sponsor for $10,000 per month starting July 10, 2026. Why it matters: This filing confirms the completion of the SPAC's capital raise, establishing the $230,000,000 trust balance available for redemption or business combination purposes. It details the significant cost structure ($18,075,702) and deferred liabilities ($9,800,000) that will impact post-combination equity and cash flow. The settlement of related-party debts clarifies the final capitalization structure, while the administrative support agreement introduces a recurring expense obligation for the sponsor. Investors can now track the deadline (July 13, 2028, derived from the 24-month period from IPO closing) against the search progress, as the company has moved from the 'searching' phase to the operational phase with funds in trust.

• 8-K21 July 20260001213900-26-079785

  What changed: Form 8-K Current Report and accompanying audited balance sheet detailing the completion of an initial public offering and private placement. According to Item 8.01 and the audited balance sheet, Samos Energy Acquisition Corporation consummated its IPO on July 13, 2026, issuing 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit and depositing $230,000,000 into a trust account managed by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The filing states that if the company does not complete a business combination within 24 months of closing, it will cease operations and distribute the trust balance less up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses to public shareholders. The registration simultaneously closed a private placement of 6,000,000 warrants for $6,000,000, with Samos Energy Acquisition Sponsor, LP purchasing 4,000,000 for $4,000,000 and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. purchasing 2,000,000 for $2,000,000. Total transaction costs reached $18,075,702, comprising $9,800,000 in deferred underwriting commissions, $4,000,000 in cash underwriting discounts, $1,283,702 in other offering costs, and $2,992,000 in fair value allocated to 1,600,000 founder shares issued to non-managing sponsor investors. As of July 13, 2026, working capital outside the trust stood at $1,487,163, backed by an administrative support agreement of $10,000 per month payable to the sponsor beginning July 10, 2026. Why it matters: The $230,000,000 trust deposit establishes the maximum liquidation reserve available to public shareholders if the 24-month deadline passes without a merger. Because the company notes that founders are not entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust upon a failed combination, the filing structurally ties sponsor equity recovery to successful deal execution. With only $1,487,163 retained outside the trust plus optional working capital loans to finance due diligence, management faces compressed runway, raising urgency around target identification.

Warrant terms permit exercise at $11.50 per share, becoming exercisable 30 days post-business combination and expiring five years thereafter, subject to anti-dilution resets if future equity pricing falls below $9.20.

• 8-K15 July 20260001213900-26-078382

  What changed: Form 8-K, a current report filed by Samos Energy Acquisition Corporation (SAMO) to disclose the completion of its initial public offering (IPO) and related agreements. This filing is the initial 8-K for a newly-formed SPAC. It reports the closing of the IPO on July 13, 2026, the simultaneous private placement of warrants, the appointment of directors, and the adoption of governing documents. The trust received $200,000,000 from the IPO and private placement proceeds. Why it matters: This establishes the baseline trust value ($10.00 per unit in trust from the IPO), the 24-month deadline (July 13, 2028) for a business combination, and the sponsor's lock-up and redemption waiver terms. It confirms the sponsor paid $25,000 for 5,750,000 founder shares, representing a significant economic interest with a 1-year lock-up post-business combination.

At-risk capital: $6M — 6,000,000 private placement warrants, bought at the IPO and worthless if the company liquidates. This is what the sponsor itself loses if no deal closes. per the prospectus (424B3 0001213900-26-077683)
