Separate Trading of Units, Class A Common Stock and Warrants
On March 5, 2021, Class Acceleration Corp. (the “Company”) announced that, commencing on March 8, 2021, the holders of the Company’s units issued in its IPO (the “Units”), each consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, may elect to separately trade shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants included in the Units. The Units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CLAS.U.” Shares of Class A Common Stock and the Warrants are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “CLAS” and “CLAS WS,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into shares of Class A 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.
This report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s registration statements and prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering filed with the SEC.
