Organization and Business Operations [Abstract]
Organization and Business Operations	Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations Organization and General Global SPAC Partners Co. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 6, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination” or “Initial Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific business combination target with respect to the Initial Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”), which is described below, and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for target companies for the Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liability as other income (expense). The Company’s sponsor is Global SPAC Sponsors LLC (formerly known as Global SPAC Partners Sponsors LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). Financing The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on April 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On April 13, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 16,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $160,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 675,000 private units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in the private placement (See “Note 5”) to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”), generating total gross proceeds of $6,750,000. Each Public Unit consists of (i) one subunit (the “Public Subunit”), which consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”) and one-quarter of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”), and (ii) one-half of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”); each whole warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Each Private Unit also consists of (i) one subunit (the “Private Subunit”), which consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Private Shares”) and one-quarter of one warrant (the “Private Warrants”), and (ii) one-half of one warrant (the “Private Warrants”). Transaction costs amounted to $9,673,350 consisting of $3,200,000 of underwriting discount, $5,600,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $873,350 of other offering costs. The Company granted I-Bankers a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Public Units to cover over-allotments. On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,500,000. On April 14, 2021, simultaneous with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 22,500 additional Private Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $225,000. Transaction costs amounted to $412,500, consisting of $150,000 of underwriting discount and $262,500 of deferred underwriting discount. Trust Account Following the closing of the IPO on April 13, 2021 and I-Bankers’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, an aggregate of $169,175,000 ($10.10 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units and the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), which has been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses in the event that the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination and must be liquidated, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Subunits properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Subunits if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company has 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Subunits, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Subunits, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company, and I-Bankers have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits, Representative Shares (See Note 5, Note 7) and any Public Subunits they may hold in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits and Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Subunits they hold if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period). The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per Public Subunit or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Subunit held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations. On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”) with Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Gorilla”), and Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing, (i) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Global, with Global continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla; (ii) the ordinary shares of Global (including Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares) will be converted into Gorilla ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis; (iii) warrants to purchase the ordinary shares of Global will be converted into warrants to purchase the same number of Gorilla ordinary shares at the same exercise price and for the same exercise period; and (iv) Global will have a restated certificate of incorporation. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the approval of the proposed business combination with Gorilla (“Transactions”) by our shareholders in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the completion of a redemption offer whereby we will be providing our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of ordinary shares. Liquidity and Going Concern As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of approximately $0.3 million. Until the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans and advances from the Sponsor. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $169,175,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account, and the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company’s initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of December 31, 2021, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding. The Company anticipate that the $291,139 outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021 will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. The Company may need to obtain additional financing to consummate its Initial Business Combination but there is no assurance that new financing will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms. Furthermore, if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination by April 13, 2022 or July 13, 2022 (if the Company obtains shareholder approval to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an Initial Business Combination), it will trigger the Company’s automatic winding up, liquidation and dissolution. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on April 13, 2021 and I-Bankers’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, an aggregate of $169,175,000 ($10.10 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units and the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), which has been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses in the event that the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination and must be liquidated, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Subunits properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Subunits if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter into a Business Combination.

The Company has 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Subunits, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Subunits, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company, and I-Bankers have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits, Representative Shares (See Note 5, Note 7) and any Public Subunits they may hold in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits and Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Subunits they hold if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per Public Subunit or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Subunit held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”) with Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Gorilla”), and Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing, (i) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Global, with Global continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla; (ii) the ordinary shares of Global (including Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares) will be converted into Gorilla ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis; (iii) warrants to purchase the ordinary shares of Global will be converted into warrants to purchase the same number of Gorilla ordinary shares at the same exercise price and for the same exercise period; and (iv) Global will have a restated certificate of incorporation.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the approval of the proposed business combination with Gorilla (“Transactions”) by our shareholders in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the completion of a redemption offer whereby we will be providing our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of ordinary shares.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of approximately $0.3 million. Until the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans and advances from the Sponsor.

Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $169,175,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account, and the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account.

The Company’s initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of December 31, 2021, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

The Company anticipate that the $291,139 outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021 will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. The Company may need to obtain additional financing to consummate its Initial Business Combination but there is no assurance that new financing will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms.
