The units, which began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker MCAHU on April 30, 2026, consist of one ordinary share and one right.

The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on April 29, 2026.

Key Points

  • Mountain Crest Acquisition 6 closed its IPO on May 1, 2026, raising $60 million by selling 6 million units at $10 each.
  • Each unit contains one ordinary share and one right; each right entitles the holder to one-fourth of an ordinary share upon completion of the initial business combination.
  • D. Boral Capital LLC was the sole bookrunner and received a 45-day option to buy up to 900,000 additional units to cover over-allotments; separate trading of shares and rights will use tickers MCAH and MCAHR.

Overview

Mountain Crest Acquisition 6 Corp. closed its initial public offering on May 1, 2026, securing $60 million by selling 6 million units at $10 each, according to the company statement. The units commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol MCAHU on April 30, 2026, following the Securities and Exchange Commission declaration that the registration statement was effective on April 29, 2026.

Unit structure and conversion rights

Each unit issued in the offering includes one ordinary share and one right. Those rights carry an entitlement that, upon the closing of the company’s initial business combination, allows holders to receive one-fourth of an ordinary share per right. The structure is designed to reflect the unitized form of the securities until such time as separate trading of the components begins.

Underwriting and overallotment

D. Boral Capital LLC acted as the sole bookrunner for the transaction. To provide flexibility for demand above the initial allotment, the company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional units at the IPO price less the underwriting discount to cover any over-allotments.

Trading of separated securities

Once the combined units are split into their components and begin separate trading, the ordinary shares are expected to trade under the symbol MCAH and the rights under MCAHR on Nasdaq. Until that separation occurs, investors will hold the bundled unit represented by MCAHU.

Company purpose

Mountain Crest Acquisition 6 Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company formed to complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The company will pursue such a combination as its primary operating objective.

Context and closing note

The offering’s key milestones - SEC effectiveness on April 29, 2026, the start of unit trading on April 30, 2026, and the close of the IPO on May 1, 2026 - complete the initial capital raise. The underwriter’s option and the conversion mechanics of the rights are defined in the offering terms and will play a role once Mountain Crest proceeds toward identifying and executing an initial business combination.

Risks

  • Receipt of one-fourth of an ordinary share per right is contingent on the completion of the company’s initial business combination - the combination must occur for that entitlement to be realized.
  • The underwriter’s 45-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional units could increase the number of outstanding units if exercised, affecting supply in the market.
  • Until the units are separated, investors hold bundled securities (MCAHU) rather than the individual ordinary shares (MCAH) or rights (MCAHR), which may affect liquidity and trading dynamics.
