Samos Energy Acquisition, a blank check company led by oil and gas investors targeting the energy sector, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $200 million in an initial public offering.
The company plans to raise $200 million by offering 20 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock, and one-half of a warrant to purchase a share, exercisable at $11.50.
Samos Energy Acquisition is led by Chairman and CEO Jacques Tohme, the co-founder and Managing Partner at Samos Energy Group, and former co-founder and director of Tailwind Energy. He is joined by CFO and director Trent Kososki, the founder and CEO of GoodPeak, and former Managing Director at Stonepeak.
The SPAC states that its strategy will be to identify, acquire and, eventually build a company in the energy industry, primarily targeting the upstream and midstream oil & gas sector, and the thermal power sector. It is not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with its sponsor, officers or directors.
The New York, NY-based company was founded in 2026. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol SAMOU. Samos Energy Acquisition filed confidentially on April 2, 2026. Cantor Fitzgerald is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
