By: ACCESSWIRE

MIAMI, FL, LONDON, UK and ATHENS, GREECE / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / MGO Global Inc.

As previously announced on June 20, 2024, MGO entered into a Business Combination Agreement ("BCA") on June 18, 2024 with Heidmar; Holdings; HMR Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings ("Merger Sub") and Rhea Marine Ltd. and Maistros Shipinvest Corp.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA is subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of MGO's stockholders and Nasdaq's approval of the listing of the ordinary shares of Pubco on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction. No offering of securities in connection with the proposed transaction shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
