Idea Acquisition Corp. Announces Separate Trading of Shares and Warrants

What Happened

• Idea Acquisition Corp. (filed April 1, 2026) announced that holders of its units may elect to separate the Units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants, with separate trading expected to begin on or about April 6, 2026.
• Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one‑third of one redeemable warrant. Units will continue trading as “IACOU” if not separated; separated Class A ordinary shares and warrants will trade under “IACO” and “IACOW” on The Nasdaq Global Market.
• The press release announcing this is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8‑K.

Key Details

• Separation effective/commencing on or about April 6, 2026.
• Unit composition: 1 Class A ordinary share + 1/3 of a redeemable warrant.
• No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation; only whole warrants will trade.
• Holders must have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the Company’s transfer agent) to effect the separation.

Why It Matters

• Separate trading lets investors buy or sell the Class A shares or warrants independently, which can improve price discovery and allow targeted strategies (e.g., buying warrants without shares).
• Investors holding Units who want separate shares or warrants will need broker assistance and should confirm timing and procedures with their broker or the transfer agent.
• Units left unseparated will continue trading under the existing ticker, so holders can choose to trade either Units or the separated components.
