Idea Acquisition Corp. Announces Commencement of Separate Trading for Class A Shares and Warrants

Los Angeles, Calif., April 1, 2026 – Idea Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: IACO), a newly listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), has announced a significant development for its investors following its recent initial public offering (IPO).

Key Points from the Announcement

• The company completed its IPO of 35,000,000 units on February 12, 2026.
• Each unit comprises Class A ordinary shares and warrants.
• Beginning on or about April 6, 2026, holders of these units may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares (IACO) and warrants (IACOW).
• Units that are not separated will continue trading under the symbol IACOU on the Nasdaq Global Market.
• No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation. Only whole warrants will trade.
• To effect the separation, holders must have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the company’s transfer agent.
• The registration statement for these securities was declared effective by the U.S. SEC on February 10, 2026.

Important Information for Shareholders

• This change may impact liquidity and trading strategies, as shareholders can choose to trade shares and warrants independently, which could affect the pricing of each security.
• The ability to separate and trade the components individually could attract new types of investors, such as those interested in warrants or those seeking to hedge positions.
• The announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or solicit an offer to buy, nor will there be any sale of these securities in jurisdictions where such actions would be unlawful.
• Shareholders should note that the company’s future performance and share price may be influenced by the success of its business combination search, as outlined in its forward-looking statements.
• There are risks involved, as detailed in the Risk Factors section of the registration statement filed with the SEC.

Potential Impact on Share Price

The commencement of separate trading for shares and warrants is a material event for investors. Historically, SPACs have seen changes in trading volumes and share price volatility when their units begin separate trading. Investors should be aware that market dynamics may shift as liquidity increases and as market participants adjust their positions based on the new flexibility. Additionally, the absence of fractional warrants means only whole warrants will trade, which may affect warrant pricing and demand.
