Separate Trading of Ordinary Shares and Warrants
On February 3, 2011, FlatWorld Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that commencing on February 4, 2011, the holders of the Company’s units (the “Units”) may elect to separately trade the ordinary shares and warrants underlying the Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, of no par value, and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “FTWAF” and each of the underlying ordinary shares and the warrants will trade under the symbols “FWLAF” and “FWLWF”, respectively. The Company had previously announced that the Units, ordinary shares and warrants would trade under the symbols “FTWAU”, “FTWA” and “FTWAW”, respectively, but has since been informed by FINRA that it has been assigned the new symbols above. Holders of Units will need to have their broke rs contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into ordinary shares 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.
