Separate Trading of Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants

 

On February 22, 2022, Cartica Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) announced that, commencing on February 25, 2022, the holders of units issued in its IPO (the “Units”), each consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Share”), and one half of one warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, may elect to separately trade Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants included in the Units. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CITEU.” Shares of Class A Ordinary Share and the Warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “CITE” and “CITEW,” respectively. Holders of Units 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.
