Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “DFNS.U,” and the Class A Common Stock and Warrants that are separated will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “DFNS” and “DFNS WS,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.
