Talon 1 Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") announced today the completion of its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units as a result of the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $230 million.
The Company's units commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "TOACU" on November 4, 2021.

Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "TOAC" and "TOACW," respectively.
