Each Unit consists of one-quarter of one Class 1 Warrant, one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and three-quarters of one Class 2 redeemable warrant (the “Class 2 Warrants”). No fractional Class 1 Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Class 1 Warrants will trade.
The new units resulting from such separation (each such unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and three-quarters of one Class 2 Warrant, the “New Units”) and the Class 1 Warrants will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “KCA.U” and “KCAC.W,” respectively. Any Units not separated will continue to trade under the symbol “KCAC.U”. 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 holders’ Units into Class 1 Warrants and New Units.
