BEIJING, China, September 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited (“Glory Star” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GSMG), a leading digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, today announced that it has called a general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”), to be held on October 27, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (Beijing time), at the offices of the Company, located at 22F, Block B, Xinhua Technology Building, No. 8 Tuofangying South Road, Jiuxianqiao, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100016, People’s Republic of China.
The meeting is being held to consider and vote on, among other matters, the proposal to authorize and approve the previously announced agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of July 11, 2022, among the Company, Cheers Inc. (“Parent”) and GSMG Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”), and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger contemplated by the Plan of Merger (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and cease to exist, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. If completed, the Merger would result in the Company becoming a privately held company and the ordinary shares of the Company no longer being listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). In addition, ninety days after the filing of Form 15 or such longer period as may be determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company’s ordinary shares and certain warrants currently listed on NASDAQ under the symbols “GSMG” and “GSMGW” respectively will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company’s board of directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the Company’s board of directors composed entirely of independent directors who are unaffiliated with the buyer group and any of the management members of the Company, approved the Merger Agreement and recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote FOR, among other things, the proposal to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.
