Flame Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:FLME) has once again increased the PIPE for its combination with Sable Offshore, totaling around $520.4 million, or 52 million shares at $10 per share, upon completion of the deal.

Flame previously noted that it intends to pursue additional commitments to expand the PIPE to up to $525 million.
Flame and Sable Offshore initially secured $71.5 million in PIPE commitments from unnamed investors at $10 per share and recently secured an additional $183.45 million, both at $10 per share.
The SPAC announced this evening that both of these PIPE commitments have since been increased by investors to the maximum number of Class B shares, from 40 million to 52.5 million.
The company then entered into additional PIPE agreements where investors agreed to purchase around 16.5 million shares at $10 million for a commitment of approximately $165.05 million. As a result, it has obtained total commitments of $348.5 million from the additional PIPE investors.
Additionally, Flame secured a $100 million PIPE from unnamed investors at $10 per share, which is expected to occur concurrently with the completion of its combination.
