Monitor for filings indicating initiation of a definitive business combination agreement — the 18/24-month deadline sets a timeline. Track insider sales of founder shares post-lockup as a confidence signal. The $10.00/unit IPO price and $11.50 warrant strike provide a reference floor, while the trust account value per share sets a de facto redemption value. Watch for any subsequent S-1 or 424B filings that provide audited balance sheet post-IPO.

Executive Summary
Energy Transition Special Opportunities completed its SPAC initial public offering of 15,000,000 units at $10.00/unit, raising $150.75M in gross proceeds ($141M net after underwriting discounts and deferred fees, with $150.75M deposited into trust). Cohen & Company Capital Markets acted as sole bookrunner. Simultaneously, the sponsor acquired 3.5M placement warrants at $1.00 each ($3.5M) and the underwriter acquired 1.875M representative placement warrants at $1.00 each ($1.875M), with $4.5M of those proceeds also going into trust. The company has 18-24 months to consummate a business combination. Amended governing documents to reflect SPAC structure. This is a standard blank-check IPO filing with no business combination target identified.

Risk Factors
- No target identified — SPAC may fail to find suitable acquisition within 18-24 months, leading to liquidation and loss of sponsor economics
- Dilution from founder shares and placement warrants (5.75M founder shares at effectively $0.004/share, 5.375M placement warrants at $1.00/share)
- Public shareholders can redeem at trust value, creating execution risk if redemptions are high
- SPAC market headwinds — regulatory scrutiny and unfavorable market conditions may impair ability to consummate business combination
