Modern Media Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MMDM) (“MMAC” or the “Company”) today announced that the minimum cash condition to its pending business combination with Akazoo Limited (“Akazoo”) has been satisfied. Accordingly, MMAC is on track to complete the business combination as planned on or before the completion deadline of September 17, 2019.

On January 24, 2019, MMAC entered into a business transaction agreement to combine with Akazoo, a global digital music streaming platform, into one new, publicly traded entity named “Akazoo S.A.” In the business combination, each share of MMAC common stock will convert into the right to receive one Akazoo S.A. ordinary share and each warrant to purchase MMAC common stock will convert into a warrant to purchase one Akazoo S.A. ordinary share having substantially the same terms and conditions as the MMAC warrants.

The conditions to consummation of the business combination included a requirement that MMAC have at least $53 million in cash available from funds contained in MMAC’s trust account and any additional capital otherwise available to MMAC, at the time of consummation, including gross proceeds from MMAC’s previously announced private placement offering, and before the payment of any fees, costs or expenses of MMAC or Akazoo. MMAC has secured binding commitments from investors who have committed to purchase ordinary shares of Akazoo S.A. in connection with completion of the business combination such that the gross cash proceeds from those investments, together with cash in MMAC’s trust account, exceeds $53 million.

Upon completion of the business combination, MMAC expects that the Akazoo S.A. ordinary shares and warrants will begin trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbols “SONG” and “SONGW,” respectively.
