On August 12, 2026, Mercator Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that, commencing on August 14, 2026, the holders of units issued in its initial public offering (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one warrant of the Company (the “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Shares for $11.50 per share, may elect to separately trade shares of 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 under the symbol “MRCOU.” Shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “MRCO” and “MRCOW,” 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 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants.
