On September 3, 2021, TradeUP Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that the holders of the Company’s units (the “Units”) may elect to separately trade the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants included in the Units commencing on September 7, 2021 (which date is the next succeeding business day following September 4, 2021, the 52nd day following July 14, 2021, the date of the Company’s prospectus in connection with its initial public offering). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “UPTDU”. Any underlying common stock and warrants that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “UPTD” and “UPTDW,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units, and only whole warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, in order to separate the holders’ Units into common stock and warrants.
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.
