What Happened
Proem Acquisition Corp I (PAAC) filed an 8-K (Feb 20, 2026) reporting the consummation of its initial public offering of 13,000,000 units and a simultaneous private placement. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of a redeemable warrant; each whole warrant is exercisable for one ordinary share at $11.50. The Units sold for $10.00 each, generating gross IPO proceeds of $130,000,000. The company also sold 292,500 Private Units to Proem SPAC Partners I LLC at $10.00 each for $2,925,000. As of February 13, 2026, $130,000,000 of the net proceeds was deposited in a trust account for the benefit of public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of February 13, 2026 is included as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms Proem Acquisition Corp I is fully capitalized as a SPAC following its IPO and sponsor private placement, with significant cash held in trust for public shareholders. For retail investors, key considerations are the number and terms of Units and warrants (including the $11.50 exercise price) and that the IPO proceeds are held in trust pending the company’s business combination activity.
