Separate Trading of Common Stock and Warrants
 
On August 11, 2011, Empeiria Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that Cohen & Company Capital Markets, LLC (“Cohen”), the representative of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, has informed the Company that commencing on August 12, 2011, the holders of the Company’s units (the “Units”) may elect to separately trade the common stock and warrants included in the Units. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock.  Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “EPAQU” and each of the underlying common stock and warrants will trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbols “EPAQ” and “EPAQW”, respectively.  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 Units into common stock and warrants.

As a result of Cohen electing to not exercise the over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company’s sponsor, officers and directors forfeited an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company and as a result, there are 8,520,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
 
A copy of the Press Release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
