September 09 2019 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
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.
