On May 26, 2022, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) announced that, commencing Tuesday, May 31, 2022, holders of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Units”) may commence separate trading of the underlying component securities. The underlying securities are ordinary shares, rights and redeemable warrants.
The ordinary shares, rights and warrants that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “MSSA,” “MSSAR” and “MSSAW,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their securities brokers contact Vstock Transfer LLC at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into ordinary shares, rights and warrants. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “MSSAU.”
The Company consummated its initial public offering on April 5, 2022, consisting of 11,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise in full of their over-allotment option for an additional 1,500,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.001 per ordinary share (“Share”), one redeemable warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Share at a price of $11.50 per Share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were initially offered by the Company in an underwritten offering through Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., which acted as the sole book runner for the offering and as the representative of the underwriters in the offering.
