NCO Trading Separation
Southern Cross Acquisition I Corp. Announces Separate Trading for Its Securities Starting July 31, 2026
Anonymous
Southern Cross Acquisition I Corp. (NASDAQ: NCO), a blank check company, will begin separate trading of its ordinary shares, warrants, and rights on July 31, 2026, according to AP News. The split affects 11,500,000 units sold in the company's initial public offering (IPO) — meaning investors can now trade each piece on its own instead of only as a bundle.
Units that holders choose not to split apart will keep trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker "NCOOU," Access Newswire reported. The company is based in New York City and raised the funds through an underwritten offering managed by D. Boral Capital LLC.
What a SPAC Unit Split Actually Means
Southern Cross is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. A SPAC is a "blank check" company — it raises money through an IPO with no existing business, then uses the cash to buy a company later. When a SPAC does its IPO, it sells units. Each unit bundles together shares, warrants, and rights into one package.
A warrant lets a holder buy more shares at a set price later. A right gives the holder a fraction of a share when a deal closes. Once separate trading begins, investors can buy or sell each piece on its own. This gives them more flexibility and can reveal how the market values each component individually.
D. Boral Capital Ran the Book on the IPO
D. Boral Capital LLC acted as the sole book-running manager for the Southern Cross IPO, according to BDT Online. That means D. Boral ran the process of finding buyers for the 11,500,000 units when the company first went public. The book-runner plays a central role in setting the price and allocating shares.
SEC Cleared the Offering on July 20, 2026
The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the company's registration statement effective on July 20, 2026, Voice of Alexandria reported. The filing is listed under Form S-1, File No. 333-296723. SEC approval is required before a company can legally sell securities to the public in the United States.
The company noted that this announcement does not count as an offer to sell securities in any state that requires separate registration. That is standard legal language SPACs include to stay in line with securities laws across different states and jurisdictions.
What Comes Next for Southern Cross Investors
Starting July 31, holders of NCO units can choose to separate them into their three parts: ordinary shares, warrants, and rights. Those who keep their units intact can still trade them under "NCOOU" on NASDAQ, according to Market Screener. The next major milestone for the company will be identifying and closing a merger or acquisition target — the core goal of any SPAC.
