Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Global and Gorilla and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Global’s and Gorilla’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Global’s and Gorilla’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Transactions and the proposed private placement of Global securities by institutional accredited investors contemplated by certain subscription agreements dated as of February 10, 2022, as amended and restated on May 18, 2022 (the “PIPE”), the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transactions and the timing of the completion of the Transactions. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Global or Gorilla and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: (i) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Transactions and the PIPE, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the post-Transactions company (the “Company”) or the expected benefits of the Transactions and the PIPE, if not obtained; (ii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions and the PIPE; (iii) matters discovered by the parties as they complete their respective due diligence investigation of the other parties; (iv) the ability of Global prior to the Transactions, and the Company following the Transactions, to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq; (v) costs related to the Transactions; (vi) the lack of a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed Transactions; (vii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of Global and the satisfaction of the minimum cash requirements of the Business Combination Agreement following any redemptions by Global’s public shareholders; (viii) the risk that the Transactions may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the stated deadline; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Global or Gorilla related to the Transactions; (x) the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel of Global and Gorilla prior to the Transactions, and the Company following the Transactions; (xi) the ability of the Company to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; (xii) the ability to protect and enhance Gorilla’s corporate reputation and brand; (xiii) the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in Gorilla’s or the Company’s industry; (xiv) the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical developments; (xv) competition from larger technology companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise; (xvi) future financial performance of the Company following the Transactions, including the ability of future revenues to meet projected annual bookings; (xvii) the ability of the Company to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; (xviii) the ability of the Company to generate sufficient revenue from each of its revenue streams; (xix) the ability of the Company’s patents and patent applications to protect the Company’s core technologies from competitors; (xx) the Company’s ability to manage a complex set of marketing relationships and realize projected revenues from subscriptions, advertisements; (xxi) product sales and/or services; (xxii) the Company’s ability to execute its business plans and strategy, including potential expansion into new geographic regions; and (xxiii) other risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in other reports and other public filings with the SEC by Global or Gorilla. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Global and Gorilla undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.

Exhibit 99.1
GLOBAL SPAC PARTNERS ANNOUNCES FILING OF A PRELIMINARY EXTENSION PROXY STATEMENT FOR A SHAREHOLDER MEETING ON JULY 13, 2022
New York NY, June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global SPAC Partners Co. (“Global”) (Nasdaq: “GLSPU” for units, “GLSPT” for subunits and “GLSPW” for warrants) announces the filing of a preliminary proxy statement, on June 29, 2022 (the “Extension Proxy Statement”), to hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on July 13, 2022 at 9:00 am Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”), to extend the date by which Global must consummate an initial business combination to on or before August 13, 2022 or later, as applicable (the “Extension”).
Global has previously announced the proposed business combination and related transactions (the “Transactions”) with Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”). As further detailed in the Extension Proxy Statement, if the proposed Extension is approved, the date by which Global must consummate an initial business combination would be extended from July 13, 2022 to August 13, 2022; which date may be further extended to no later than September 13, 2022 if, by August 13, 2022, the Company has called an extraordinary general meeting to approve the Transactions with Gorilla (the “Business Combination Meeting”) and mailed the relevant proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Transactions, but has not yet held the Business Combination Meeting.
Gorilla has agreed to loan to Global the lesser of $388,447 and $0.045 for each of Global’s public shares that is not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting. If more than 8,632,155 public shares remain outstanding after conversions in connection with the Extension, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if no public shares seek conversion, an aggregate of $388,447 would be contributed and the per-share amount contributed for the Extension would be approximately $0.03 per share. Accordingly, if the Extension is approved and implemented, the redemption amount per share at the Business Combination Meeting or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be between $10.23 and $10.245 per share (depending on the level of redemptions in connection with the Special Meeting), in comparison to the current redemption amount of approximately $10.20 per share.
For any holder of Global subunits who elects to redeem the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Global subunit for cash in the trust account, the ¼ warrant underlying the subunit will be forfeited automatically.
Global’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Extension Proxy Statement. Shareholders are also able to obtain copies of the Extension Proxy Statement and other relevant materials filed with the Securities and Exchange (the “SEC”), without charge, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Global’s proxy solicitation agent at the following address and telephone number: Advantage Proxy, Inc., P.O. Box 13581, Des Moines, WA 98198, Attn: Karen Smith, Toll Free Telephone: (877) 870-8565, Main Telephone: (206) 870-8565, E-mail: ksmith@advantageproxy.com.
Global has previously announced concurrent PIPE investment (the “Amended Subscription Agreement,” together with the Amended BCA, the “Amended Agreements”), each dated as of May 18, 2022. The investor webcast will be made available on Gorilla’s website at https://www.gorilla-technology.com/investors. On the webcast, the presenters will be reviewing an investor presentation and referencing the Amended Agreements, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Global on Current Reports on Form 8-K on June 17, 2022 and May 18, 2022, respectively, and which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
About the Amended PIPE
Global announced on February 10, 2022 that it had entered into subscription agreements (the “Original Subscription Agreements”) with experienced AI institutional investors (the “PIPE Investors”) to purchase $50.5 million of private placement securities in Global (the “PIPE”), in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Amended BCA (the “Transactions”). The PIPE, as contemplated by the Original Subscription Agreements, consisted of the sale of 5 million subunits of Global at a price of $10.10 per subunit (the “PIPE subunits”), with each PIPE subunit identical to the subunits included as part of the public units sold in Global’s initial public offering. On May 18, 2022, Global and the PIPE Investors amended the terms of the Original Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have the unilateral right for any reason to reduce the number of PIPE subunits they will purchase from an aggregate of 5 million PIPE subunits to an aggregate of 3 million PIPE subunits, at the same price of $10.10 per PIPE subunit.
The number of PIPE subunits the PIPE Investors are required to purchase is also subject to reduction to the extent they purchase Global subunits in the open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties and hold and do not redeem such subunits in connection with any redemption conducted by Global. For further information, please refer to Global’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed February 11, 2022 and May 18, 2022 respectively, with the SEC.
About the Amended BCA
The Amended BCA, dated May 18, 2022, amends the original business combination agreement, dated as of December 20, 2022 (the “Original BCA”), provides that existing Gorilla shareholders will receive no cash consideration in the Business Combination, and will retain all of their current equity interests, effectively rolling over their current ownership into an equivalent of approximately 65 million shares of Gorilla. The Transactions value Gorilla at a pro-forma enterprise value of approximately $720 million. The consummation of the Transactions are conditioned upon Global having at least $50 million in gross cash proceeds at closing in Global’s trust account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions), which currently has approximately $132 million in funds, and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment or other private placement.
The following summarizes the key changes in the Amended BCA compared to the Original BCA:
| ● | Escrow Shares – 14 million of the 65 million shares issued to Gorilla shareholders will be placed into escrow (the “Escrow Shares”), subject to possible forfeiture and transfer to holders of contingent value rights (“CVRs”) to be issued to (i) the PIPE Investors and (ii) public shareholders who do not redeem their public shares in connection with the shareholder meeting to vote upon the Transactions (collectively, the “Post-Merger Holders”). |
| ● | CVRs
to Post-Merger Holders – One (1) Class A CVR will be issued for each one (1)
share owned by Post-Merger Holders. In addition, one-half (1/2) Class B CVR will be
issued for each one (1) PIPE subunit. |
2
| ● | Escrow Shares Released in 4 Stages – 1st stage is price protection for Post-Merger Holders until March 31, 2023. 2nd stage is earn-out to Gorilla shareholders or Post-Merger Holders of 8.4 million Escrow Shares less any shares issued at 1st stage. 3rd stage is price protection for Post-Merger Holders until March 31, 2024, with respect to the remaining Escrow Shares (up to 5.6 million). 4th stage is earn-out to Gorilla shareholders or Post-Merger Holders. |
| ● | Price Protection for Post-Merger Holders – 1st & 3rd Stages – Until March 31, 2024, the Escrow Shares will be available for distribution to Class A CVR holders if a calculation of the share price at certain dates is below the redemption price at the closing of the Transactions (currently projected to be $10.19 per share). Until March 31, 2023, all 14 million Escrow Shares are available for distribution; thereafter, all remaining Escrow Shares are available for distribution. |
| ● | Earn-Out to Gorilla Shareholders or Post-Merger Holders – 2nd & 4th Stages |
| ο | Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue – After distribution of Escrow Shares for the price protection until March 31, 2023, up to 8.4 million Escrow Shares (less any distributed for price protection) will be distributed based on reported revenue for fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. If revenue is at least $65 million, all such Escrow Shares would be released to Gorilla shareholders; if revenue is less than $51 million, all such Escrow Shares would be distributed to Class A and Class B CVR holders. If the revenue is at least $51 million, but less than $65 million, the release or distribution will be pro rata between Gorilla shareholders and CVR holders. Regardless of what the revenue is, if gross margins decline compared to the prior year, all Escrow Shares will be distributed to CVR holders. |
| ο | Fiscal Year 2023 Revenue – After distribution of Escrow shares for the Price Protection until March 31, 2024, up to 5.6 million Escrow Shares may be remaining (unless used for price protection at any time earlier) and will be distributed based on reported revenue for fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. If revenue is at least $90 million, all such Escrow Shares would be released to Gorilla shareholders; if revenue is less than $90 million, all such Escrow Shares would be distributed to Class A and Class B CVR holders. Regardless of what the revenue is, if gross margins decline compared to prior year, then all Escrow Shares will be distributed to CVR holders. |
