Far Peak Acquisition Corporation Announces the Separate Trading of its Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants Commencing January 19, 2021

NEW YORK, January 12, 2021 (PRNewswire) – Far Peak Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) announced today that, commencing January 19, 2021, holders of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering of 60,000,000 units (including the 5,000,000 units sold when the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option on December 21, 2020), completed on December 7, 2020, may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and warrants included in the units. Any units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “FPAC.U,” and the Class A ordinary shares and warrants that are separated will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “FPAC” and “FPAC.WS,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Unitholders will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants.

The units were initially offered by the Company in an underwritten offering. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters for the offering. A registration statement relating to the units and the underlying securities was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2020.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
