The offering included the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, according to a company press release.
Offering Details
The company sold a total of 14,375,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. This figure includes 1,875,000 units that were issued as part of the over-allotment option exercised by the underwriter.

The units began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "THEOU" on August 4, 2026. The company anticipates that once the securities begin separate trading, the shares and rights will be listed under the symbols "THEO" and "THEOR", respectively.

While its primary areas of interest are the energy, telecommunications, and transportation sectors, the company's mandate allows it to pursue a business combination in any industry or geographical location.
