DALLAS--()--ESGEN Acquisition Corporation (“ESGEN” or the “Company”) announced today the pricing of its initial public offering of 24,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

The units will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and trade under the ticker symbol “ESACU” beginning October 20, 2021.

Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant.

Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “ESAC” and “ESACW,” respectively.
