PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

 

June 3, 2024

 

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF GLOBAL STAR ACQUISITION INC.:

 

This is a supplement (this “Supplement”) to the definitive proxy statement of Global Star Acquisition Inc. (the “Company” or “Global Star” or “we” or “us”), dated May 20, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”), which was mailed to stockholders in connection with the Company’s special meeting of stockholders scheduled for 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on June 11, 2024, to be held virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/globalstarspac/2024 (the “Special Meeting”). This Supplement supplements the Proxy Statement of the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 20, 2024, relating to the Special Meeting of the Company. The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.

 

We are contacting you on behalf of Global Star to request that you vote in favor on the upcoming proxy vote on June 11, 2024, specifically regarding the extension amendment proposal, the trust amendment proposal, and if necessary, the adjournment proposal to enable Global Star to extend the time period to consummate a business combination transaction (the “Extension Proposal”). Approval of these proposals will allow Global Star to extend the deadline for completing the business combination with K Enter Holdings, Inc. (“K Enter”). We believe there is a strong business case for Global Star to acquire K Enter. The proposed transaction represents not just a strategic alignment, but a shared commitment to excellence and innovation. The merger brings together the financial expertise of Global Star with the robust knowledge and experience of K Enter’s management team in the global entertainment industry. The six Korean entertainment companies that K Enter plans to acquire, prior to the closing of the proposed business combination, are renowned for their innovative content creation and business models centered around intellectual property (IP), and those companies collectively on a pro forma basis generated estimated revenue of around US$153 million in the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, and around US$76 million in the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023, as further described below.

 

We have responded to several rounds of SEC comments. We believe we are fast approaching the final rounds of the SEC comment process and that we are getting close to achieving effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4, which includes a proxy statement/prospectus (the “Registration Statement”). Although we cannot be certain of the precise timing of Global Star’s stockholder meeting to approve the business combination with K Enter, we expect it will occur within the earlier part of the six-month extension we are seeking. Therefore, we strongly urge you to approve the Extension Proposal contained in the Proxy Statement, so that we can consummate the proposed business combination, and achieve our goal of creating a leading diversified entertainment company.

 

Inherent business case of the target K Enter

nK Enter is positioned to acquire six Korean entertainment companies, each with a real business and capabilities in merchandising, content production and content investment that we believe addresses the demand for K content globally.
nThe six Korean entertainment companies that K Enter plans to acquire collectively on a pro forma basis have a successful tangible financial track record:
-

Revenues of $153 million and reported EBITDA of approximately $13 million in 2022, on a combined pro forma consolidated basis.

-

Revenues of $76 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) of approximately $1 million in 2023, on a combined pro forma consolidated basis.

n

Following the closing of the business combination the post-closing combined company aspires to grow even more to become a leading tech and IP-based diversified entertainment company. The post-closing combined company plans to build on its initial three capabilities through acquisitions, to transform its entertainment business by broadening its capabilities in areas such as K Pop music and Webtoons. See link to our current Registration Statement on Form F-4:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2000756/000182912624003272/kwavemedia_f4a.htm which is also available at www.sec.gov.

 

 

 

(1)The adjusted EBITDA for 2023 was calculated by adding back all business combination related expenses, including audit fees and legal advisory fees in 2023, which are one-time non-recurring expenses for an unusual event not related to the operations or normal course of business of K Enter.

SEC effectiveness is likely imminent

n

We have undergone three rounds of SEC comments regarding our Registration Statement and based on our responses we expect to clear all comments in the next month or two.

n

We believe we have addressed the majority of the SEC comments sufficiently during the previous three rounds of comments and expect that there will be a limited number of comments moving forward. Although we cannot be certain of the precise time for Global Star’s stockholder meeting to approve the business combination with K Enter, we are highly confident it will occur within the earlier part of the six-month extension we are seeking.

 

And thus, we sincerely ask that you vote to approve the extension proposal of Global Star

nFollowing an extension, you would still have an opportunity to vote on the business combination, and if you disapprove you will retain the right to redeem your public shares.
nProviding this additional extension, we believe, will give you an opportunity to weigh the merits of this business combination in fuller detail following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, which we aim to secure within the next month or two.

 

We urge you to read the Proxy Statement and this Supplement in their entirety. To the extent that information herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information contained herein supersedes the information contained in the Proxy Statement.

 

Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations. You can find additional information regarding our business combination in the Proxy Statement. We appreciate our ongoing dialogue with you and look forward to continued engagement.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Board of Directors

 

Global Star Acquisition Inc.
