Daedalus Special Acquisition Corp. Announces Unit Separation and Independent Trading Options

London, United Kingdom — Daedalus Special Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: DSACU) has announced a significant milestone for its public shareholders. Starting January 29, 2026, investors who hold the company’s units can choose to separate them into individual components and trade each part independently. This move provides greater flexibility for shareholders managing their investments in this special purpose acquisition company.

Understanding the New Trading Structure

For those unfamiliar with how these financial instruments work, the original units bundled together the Class A ordinary shares and warrants into a single security. Now, holders have the freedom to keep their units together under the symbol DSACU on The Nasdaq Global Market, or they can elect to separate them. Once divided, the Class A ordinary shares will trade under the ticker “DSAC,” while the warrants will trade separately under “DSACW,” both on Nasdaq’s Global Market.

An important detail: the separation process results only in whole warrants—no fractional warrants will be issued. This ensures a clean, straightforward trading mechanism for all parties involved.

How to Execute the Separation

Investors interested in separating their units will need to take action through their brokers. The process involves having brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which serves as the transfer agent for Daedalus. The company has provided detailed documentation through a prospectus available from BTIG, LLC (contact: ProspectusDelivery@btig.com), which handled the initial public offering.

The SPAC’s Strategic Mission

Daedalus Special Acquisition Corp. operates as a blank check company, more formally known as a SPAC, structured specifically to pursue a business combination with one or more operating companies. While the company maintains flexibility to explore opportunities across various industries and stages of corporate development, its primary strategic focus centers on building a diversified portfolio of profitable artificial intelligence-powered consumer applications.

This acquisition-focused strategy positions the company to identify and merge with promising AI companies that demonstrate strong consumer adoption potential.

Regulatory Approval and Timeline

The company’s registration statements on Form S-1 (filing numbers 333-290165 and 333-292014) received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission, with the SEC declaring them effective on December 8, 2025. This regulatory clearance paves the way for the January 29 launch of separate trading.

What Investors Should Know

This announcement represents a standard procedural step in SPAC public operations, offering shareholders enhanced optionality. Those choosing to maintain their current holdings in bundled units will continue trading under the original DSACU symbol without requiring any action. Conversely, investors preferring to manage their Class A shares and warrants as separate securities now have that capability.

The flexibility introduced by Daedalus demonstrates how modern capital markets accommodate diverse investor preferences and portfolio management strategies within the SPAC framework.
