OceanLight Acquisition Corp Announces Separate Trading of Unit Securities

What Happened
OceanLight Acquisition Corp (OCLT) filed an 8-K (filed Sept 11, 2026) reporting that, with the underwriter's consent, holders of its units may elect to separately trade the ordinary shares, rights and warrants included in the units beginning on or about September 11, 2026. The Company announced the change on September 10, 2026 and issued a press release (attached as Exhibit 99.1).

Key Details

• Separation effective on or about September 11, 2026 (announcement dated Sept 10, 2026).
• Unseparated units will continue trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "OCLTU."
• Separated components are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under: ordinary shares "OCLT", rights "OCLTR", and warrants "OCLTW."
• Holders must have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the transfer agent) to effect the separation.

Why It Matters
This gives unit holders flexibility to trade the underlying ordinary shares, rights and warrants individually rather than only as bundled units, which can affect how those securities are priced and traded. For investors, the change may increase liquidity and allow more targeted investment or trading strategies (e.g., buy shares but not warrants). The filing is informational—no new financing, corporate control change, or financial results were reported in this 8-K.
