Angel Studios, Inc. to Trade Under NYSE Ticker Symbol "ANGX"

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Studios, Inc. ("Angel" or the "Company"), an unprecedented media and technology company driven by 1.5 million grassroots Angel Guild members championing values-based stories, today announced the completion of Angel's business combination with Southport Acquisition Corporation (OTC: PORT) ("Southport"), a special purpose acquisition company. The combined company will operate as Angel Studios, Inc., and its shares of Class A common stock are expected to begin trading the morning of September 11, 2025, on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol "ANGX."

"This marks a huge milestone for Angel and our 1.5 million-plus Guild members worldwide," said Neal Harmon, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Angel. "Our model and technology are leading a movement to reshape entertainment, empowering audiences as virtual co-producers. The Guild selects stories that amplify light and timeless values—curating a powerful library through greenlighting films and shows for theaters, TV, or Angel streaming—and we're just getting started."

Angel's public company debut underscores the strong momentum propelling the Company into its next chapter. Through strong growth in Angel Guild membership, growing revenue performance, and an expanding global audience, Angel has demonstrated market demand and operational scalability. With a successful capital raise completed on September 5, 2025, Angel is well-positioned to accelerate innovation, expand values-based storytelling, and deliver long-term shareholder value.

The Company also announced the close of a $100 million credit facility with Trinity Capital, a leading alternative asset manager, that Angel will use to further expand the Angel Guild.

Angel is scheduled to ring the NYSE closing bell on September 11, 2025, at 4:00pm ET.
