Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one Warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “USCTU.” Any underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants that are separated are expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “USCT” and “USCTW,” respectively. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade.
