Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LaFayette Acquisition Corp. announced that investors who hold its units will soon be able to trade the underlying securities separately. Each unit currently includes one ordinary share and one right. Starting on November 26, 2025, holders may elect to separate their units so that the ordinary shares trade on Nasdaq under the symbol LAFA and the rights trade under LAFAR, while unsplit units will continue to trade under LAFAU.

To separate the securities, a holder’s broker must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the company’s transfer agent. This change mainly affects how existing securities trade and does not describe any new financing or business combination.
