Announce Appointees for the New Public Company, Captivision Inc., Board of Directors
MIAMI and SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jaguar Global Growth Corporation I (Nasdaq: JGGC, JGGCR, and JGGCW) (“Jaguar Global”) and GLAAM, Co., Ltd. (“GLAAM”), a leading designer and manufacturer of architectural media glass, today announced Jaguar Global shareholder approval of an extension to extend the date by which Jaguar Global has to consummate a business combination (the “Termination Date”) and appointees for the Board of Directors relating to the previously announced business combination.
As a result of the business combination, GLAAM and Jaguar Global shareholders will exchange their shares for shares in a new combined company that is named “Captivision Inc.” (“Captivision”). Captivision’s ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the proposed ticker symbols “CAPT” and “CAPTW.”
Results of Jaguar Global’s Extension Extraordinary General Meeting
On August 11, 2023, Jaguar Global shareholders approved an amendment to extend the Termination Date. The Termination Date was extended from the original date of August 15, 2023 to September 15, 2023. The amendment also allows Jaguar Global, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis until December 15, 2023, or a total of up to four months after the original Termination Date.
“We believe the results of the Extension Extraordinary General Meeting not only provide us with additional flexibility to complete our business combination, but also demonstrate our shareholders’ confidence in the strategy for the combined company,” said Gary Garrabrant, Chairman and CEO of Jaguar Global. “With 44% of the shares issued in our IPO still outstanding, we believe we are well-positioned to close our business combination. We would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support.”
At the Extension Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of 12,925,707 Jaguar Global Class A Ordinary Shares originally issued in Jaguar Global’s IPO properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.64 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $137.5 million. As such, approximately 56% of the Jaguar Global Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the IPO were redeemed and approximately 44% of such shares remain outstanding. After the satisfaction of such redemptions and the extension payment in connection with the extension amendment, the balance in the trust account was approximately $107.3 million.
More information on the results of the Extension Extraordinary General Meeting can be found in the Form 8-K filed on August 16, 2023.
Proposed Public Company Board of Directors
Under the terms of the business combination agreement, Captivision’s board will consist of seven directors. The appointees are highly qualified individuals who bring extensive expertise and complementary skills.
Mr. Garrabrant continued: “We believe the world-class executives we have selected for appointment to Captivision’s board bring diverse and seasoned perspectives to our growth strategy. With backgrounds in both private and public companies across entertainment and news media, real estate, investments, and innovation, these individuals offer invaluable expertise, experience, and relationships. We are privileged to have their support as we execute our strategic vision upon closing the business combination.”
Ho Joon Lee, Co-Founder of GLAAM, commented: “With such high-caliber appointees, we believe Captivision will be well-positioned to drive adoption of our G-Glass technology in new geographies and sectors globally.
