Leader’s Advantage Acquisition Corp. Announces Closing of Partial Exercise of Over-Allotment Option in Connection with its Initial Public Offering
Mt. Laurel Township, NJ, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leader’s Advantage Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) a blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, announced today that it closed the sale of an additional 650,000 units of the Company, pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option granted in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (together with the over-allotment closing, the “Offering”), at the price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $6,500,000.
After giving effect to this partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the total number of units sold in the Offering increased to 15,650,000 units, resulting in total gross proceeds of $156,500,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
The Company’s units began trading on September 18, 2026 on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “LEDRU.” Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Once the securities constituting the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “LEDR” and “LEDRW,” respectively.
The Company’s primary focus will be completing a healthcare-focused business combination with an established business of scale along with first-in-class drug candidates with large addressable markets poised for continued growth, led by a highly regarded management team, that the Company’s management believes would benefit from financial, operational, strategic or managerial enhancement to maximize value.
The Company’s management team is led by Dr. Paritosh M. Chakrabarti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Raj Chakrabarti, President, and Edward Krynski, Chief Financial Officer.
