Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Ordinary Share”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PTACU”. Any underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants that are separated will trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “PTAC” and “PTACW,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the holders’ Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
