Westin Acquisition Corp 8-K

What Happened Westin Acquisition Corp (WSTN) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (Item 8.01) updating prior disclosure to announce that, with the underwriter’s consent, holders of the Company’s units may elect to separate and separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and rights contained in the units beginning on December 31, 2025. Units that are not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol WSTNU; separated Class A ordinary shares and rights are expected to trade under the symbols WSTN and WSTNR, respectively. The Company issued a press release on December 31, 2025 (attached as Exhibit 99.1).

Key Details

• Effective date for separate trading: December 31, 2025.
• Unit ticker remains: WSTNU (for units not separated).
• Expected tickers after separation: WSTN (Class A ordinary shares) and WSTNR (rights).
• To separate units, holders must have their brokers contact the transfer agent, Odyssey Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Why It Matters Separate trading gives investors the option to trade Class A shares and rights individually rather than as combined units, which can increase flexibility in managing positions. Investors who want separated shares or to trade rights will need to coordinate with their brokers and the transfer agent. Units left intact will continue trading as before, so no immediate action is required unless an investor wishes to separate the components.
