SPAC CO2 Energy Transition Signs LOI for Texas Energy Merger
NOEM is trading near its 52-week low of $9.82 (7.0% above the low).
Summary
CO2 Energy Transition Corp. has signed a non-binding letter of intent to combine with an unnamed Texas-based energy company, which is an oil and gas company planning to advance domestic lithium recovery and strontium ferrite production for defense applications by recovering lithium and strontium from subsurface brines produced from its own leased wells. This is the first concrete merger target disclosed since the SPAC's IPO, arriving just days after the sponsor extended the deadline with a second convertible note. The company has been burning cash with only $26,108 on hand as of mid-May and a going concern warning. The parties intend to negotiate and enter definitive agreements as soon as practicable, but in no event later than September 16, unless mutually extended. A definitive proxy seeking a deadline extension to June 2027 is already in circulation, and shareholder approval is the next key hurdle.
