LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. Announces Stockholder Approval for and Closing of Business Combination with IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc.
August 26 2021 - 2:26PM
LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: DFNS) (“LGL” or the
“Company”) today announced the results for the six proposals
considered and voted upon by its stockholders at its special
meeting held on August 26, 2021. LGL reported that each of the
six proposals, including the proposals giving effect to the
previously announced business combination between LGL and IronNet
Cybersecurity, Inc. (“IronNet”), was approved. LGL also announced
that it has completed its business combination with IronNet,
resulting in the combined company being renamed as “IronNet, Inc.”,
with its common stock and warrants to commence trading on the New
York Stock Exchange on August 27, 2021 under the ticker symbols
“IRNT” and “IRNT.WS”, respectively. The combined
company expects to file a Form 8-K today disclosing the full
voting results of the special meeting.
Additionally, the deadline for electing redemptions has passed
with approximately 93% of the shares of Class A common stock being
redeemed in connection with the business combination. As a result
of the business combination, the combined company received gross
proceeds of approximately $136.7 million, which amount includes
$125.0 million received in a previously announced private
placement that closed concurrently with the business combination
and approximately $11.7 million from the trust account after
deducting funds used to satisfy redemptions.
“Amid the backdrop of a series of U.S. presidential-level
cybersecurity initiatives — including three recent Executive Orders
and a high-profile summit focused on improving cyber resilience
across public and private sectors— IronNet is entering the public
market at a time of rapidly escalating demand for effective cyber
defense,” said Marc Gabelli Chairman of LGL Systems Acquisition
Corp.
