On July 9, 2026, the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-296771) (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Samos Energy Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). On July 13, 2026, the Company completed its IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Units were issued pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated July 10, 2026, between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”). Each Unit had an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one warrant of the Company (each such whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

Each of the foregoing agreements is attached as Exhibits 1.1, 4.5, 4.6, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively, and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

On July 13, 2026, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO of the Company and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrant Purchase Agreements, the Company completed the private sale of 4,000,000 warrants to the Sponsor and 2,000,000 warrants to Cantor, for an aggregate of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus (as defined below). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

On July 10, 2026, Trent Kososki, Joseph McMonigle and Khodor Mattar were appointed as members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
