Overview of SUMA Acquisition Corporation's IPO#
SUMA Acquisition Corporation (ticker: SUMAU) has successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO), raising a total of $172.5 million. This was achieved through the sale of 17.25 million units, each priced at $10.00. Notably, the offering included an additional 2.25 million units due to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which allows them to sell more shares than initially planned if demand is high.

Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and a right to receive one-fifth of a Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the company’s initial business combination, which is essentially a merger or acquisition. After the business combination, the Class A ordinary shares and rights are expected to trade separately under the symbols "SUMA" and "SUMAR."
