Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced that its management has begun evaluating a potential dividend spin-out of its Acoustic Sciences division into a standalone public company proposed to be named API Media, with the reserved Nasdaq ticker symbol “ADIO.” The move is intended to separate the company’s acoustic technologies and live events operations from its AI-driven data monetization business.
The proposed transaction remains subject to board approval, definitive agreements, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, according to the company’s press release.
