NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tailwind Acquisition Corp. (“TWND”) (NYSE: TWND.U, TWND, TWND WS), a special purpose acquisition company, announced today that it will transfer its listing to the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”), where it has been approved to list. In connection with the transfer, TWND will voluntarily delist from The New York Stock Exchange. TWND’s decision to transfer to the NYSE American was motivated by several factors, including more favorable thresholds for continued listing on the NYSE American.

TWND anticipates the transfer to the NYSE American to occur on or about October 12, 2022.
