East West Ave Acquisition Corp. Closes $100 Million IPO on Nasdaq

East West Ave Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), has closed its initial public offering, raising $100 million in gross proceeds, the company announced in a press release. The offering consisted of 10,000,000 units priced at $10.00 each.
Offering Details
The company's units began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 30, 2026, under the ticker symbol "EWAVU". The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had declared the company's Form S-1 registration statement effective on July 13, 2026.
D. Boral Capital LLC acted as the sole book-running manager for the IPO. The underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units to cover any potential over-allotments.
Unit Structure
Each unit sold in the IPO consists of one share of common stock and one right. The right entitles the holder to receive one-fourth of one share of common stock upon the completion of the company's initial business combination.
AdFollowing the IPO, the common stock and rights are expected to trade separately on the Nasdaq under the symbols "EWAV" and "EWAVR," respectively. This separation allows investors to trade the individual components of the unit independently.
Company's Mission
As a blank check company, East West Ave Acquisition Corp. was formed to pursue a merger, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination. The company has not specified any particular industry or geographic region for its acquisition target, giving it a broad mandate.
According to the announcement, the company's sponsors will provide loans to cover any tax obligations associated with its Nevada incorporation. This measure is intended to ensure that the funds raised in the IPO and held in the trust account are not used for such payments, preserving the capital for a future transaction.
