Exhibit 99.1
Emmis Acquisition Corp. Announces Upcoming Automatic Unit Separation
New York, NY, October 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Emmis Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: EMISU) (the “Company”) announced today that, effective as of October 22, 2025, the Company’s units will no longer trade, and that the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and rights, which together comprise the units, will commence trading separately. The Class A ordinary shares and rights will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and trade with the ticker symbols “EMIS” and “EMISR”, respectively. This is a mandatory and automatic separation, and no action is required by the holders of units.
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right. Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. In the separation, unit owners will receive the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying their units and the number of rights underlying such units. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of any rights and instead, fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Accordingly, a holder must have 10 rights to receive one Class A ordinary share at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.
Purchases of units that are made after market close on October 15, 2025, may not settle prior to the unit separation date and, accordingly, the number of rights issued to such purchasers may not reflect the rights underlying such recently purchased units.
