Safeguard Acquisition Corp. 8-K

What Happened

• Safeguard Acquisition Corp. filed a Form 8-K on Jan. 22, 2026 (press release dated Jan. 21, 2026) announcing that holders of the Company’s units (the “Units”) may elect to separate the Units so the Class A ordinary shares and warrants can trade separately on the New York Stock Exchange starting on or about January 26, 2026.

Key Details

• Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant.
• Post-separation trading symbols: Units will remain SAC.U; Class A ordinary shares will trade as SAC; warrants will trade as SAC WS.
• No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation — only whole warrants will trade.
• Holders must have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the transfer agent) to effectuate separation.
• The announcement was provided as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.

Why It Matters

• Allowing the Class A shares and warrants to trade separately can affect liquidity and pricing by enabling investors to buy or sell the equity and the warrants independently.
• Investors holding Units who want separate shares or warrants must instruct their brokers and should be aware that fractional warrants will not be issued, which may affect the number of warrants received.
• This 8-K reports a procedural market-structure change (an “Other Event”); it does not disclose financial results or management changes.
