Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Common and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GLEEU.” Any underlying share of Class A Common and warrants that are separated will trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “GLEE” and “GLEEW,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, to separate the holders’ Units into shares of Class A Common and warrants.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
