COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah, Dec. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercato Partners Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") announced that, commencing December 27, 2021, holders of the units sold in the Company's initial public offering (the "Units") may elect to separately trade the shares of Class A common stock and warrants included in the Units. The shares of Class A common stock and warrants that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbols "MPRA" and "MPRAW," respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade.

The Units were initially offered by the Company in an underwritten offering. BofA Securities acted as the sole book-running manager and underwriter for the initial public offering.  The offering was made only by means of a prospectus, copies of which may be obtained for free from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov.

A registration statement relating to these securities was filed with the SEC and became effective on November 3, 2021. 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
