The 3.3âŻmillion âoverallotmentâ units that the underwriters received in the IPO are treated exactly like the other 22âŻmillion IPO units in the separation. When the Company initiates the split on or aboutâŻ15âŻAugustâŻ2025, holders of those overallotment units may elect to break each unit into a standâalone ClassâŻA ordinary share (trading as PACH) and a standâalone warrant (trading as PACHW). If a holder does not submit a separation election, the unitâincluding the overallotment portionâwill continue to trade on Nasdaq under the combined ticker PACHU. No fractional warrants will be created; only wholeâwarrant positions will be issued, so the overallotment warrants will be rounded down to the nearest whole warrant when the split is executed.
From a trading perspective, this means the underwritersâ overallotment shares will become immediately liquid on two separate symbols, offering distinct price discovery for the equity and the warrant. Anticipate a shortâterm spread between PACH and PACHU as market participants reâprice the equity component, and a similar reâallocation of demand into PACHW. Technicals on PACHU may show a breakout or volatility spike around the split date, while PACH could inherit the bulk of the preâsplit price action. For fundamentals, the overallotment units do not alter the capital structureâthey simply represent the same economic exposure now displayed on two tickersâso valuation ratios (e.g., EV/EBITDA) remain unchanged.
Actionable insight:
- If you hold or can acquire the overallotment units: Submit a separation election before the cutâoff to capture the warrantâs upside (especially if you are bullish on the SPACâs postâbusinessâbusiness prospects) and to trade the equity on a dedicated ticker with tighter spreads.
- If you prefer a singleâticket exposure: Keep the units unâseparated and trade PACHU; be prepared for higher bidâask spreads and potential liquidity constraints as the market transitions.
- Shortâterm trade setâup: Consider a PACHU â PACH + PACHW conversion trade on the split dayâsell the combined unit short and go long the separated componentsâto profit from any temporary mispricing between the two new securities.
