Venus Acquisition Corporation Announces the Separate Trading of its Ordinary Shares, Rights and Warrants Commencing Tuesday, April 13, 2021

 

New York, New York, April 9, 2021: Venus Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: VENA) (the “Company”) announced that, commencing Wednesday, April 13, 2021, holders of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering of 4,600,000 units, completed on February 11, 2021, may elect to separately trade the ordinary shares, rights and warrants included in the units. Each unit consists of one ordinary share, one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination, and one redeemable warrant to purchase one-half of one ordinary share.

 

Those units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “VENAU.”

 

The ordinary shares, rights and warrants that are separated will trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “VENA,” “VENAR” and “VENAW,” respectively. Holders of units will need to have their securities brokers contact Vstock Transfer LLC at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the units into ordinary shares, rights and warrants.

 

The units were initially offered by the Company in an underwritten offering through Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., which acted as the book running manager for the offering and as the representative of the underwriters in the offering and Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC, acted as joint bookrunner for the offering. A registration statement relating to the units and the underlying securities was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 8, 2021. Copies of the registration statement can be accessed through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
