As previously reported on January 14, 2022, Western Acquisition Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), which included 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Common Stock”) and one warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,500,000.

On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that separate trading of shares of the Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units has commenced. Holders of Units must have their brokers contact American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Common Stock and Warrants. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “WAVSU.” The Common Stock and Warrants will separately trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “WAVS” and “WAVSW,” respectively.
