PROXY STATEMENT FOR
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF
TIGA ACQUISITION CORP.
(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)
PROSPECTUS FOR
223,143,717 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
13,800,000 REDEEMABLE WARRANTS OF
TIGA ACQUISITION CORP.
(AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE),
THE CONTINUING ENTITY FOLLOWING THE DOMESTICATION, WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “GRINDR INC.”
IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN
The board of directors of Tiga Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Tiga” and, after the Domestication as described below, “New Grindr”), has unanimously approved (1) the domestication of Tiga as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”); (2) the merger of Tiga Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub I”), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Tiga, with and into Grindr Group LLC (“Grindr”), a Delaware limited liability company (the “First Merger”), with Grindr surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tiga (Grindr, in its capacity as the surviving company of the First Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”), and as promptly as practicable and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of such Surviving Company with and into Tiga Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub II”), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiga (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the Second Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2022, by and among Tiga, Merger Sub I and Grindr, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A (the “Merger Agreement”), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (3) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto. In connection with the Business Combination, Tiga will change its name to “Grindr Inc.”
As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tiga (the “Tiga Class A Ordinary Shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Grindr (the “New Grindr Common Stock”); (2) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tiga (the “Tiga Class B Ordinary Shares”) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Grindr Common Stock; (3) each then issued and outstanding warrant of Tiga (the “Tiga Warrants”) will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of New Grindr Common Stock (the “New Grindr Warrants”) pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated November 23, 2020, between Tiga and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent; and (4) each then issued and outstanding unit of Tiga (the “Tiga Units”) will be separated and converted automatically into one share of New Grindr Common Stock and one-half of one New Grindr Warrant.
Accordingly, this proxy statement/prospectus covers (1) 27,600,000 shares of New Grindr Common Stock to be issued in the Domestication in exchange for Tiga Class A Ordinary Shares, (2) 191,514,336 shares of New Grindr Common Stock to be issued in connection with the First Merger to certain holders of units of Grindr as of immediately prior to the consummation of the First Merger, 4,029,831 shares of New Grindr Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the First Merger to certain holders of Grindr’s equity awards (including options) to purchase Grindr Series X Ordinary Units in the event such equity awards are exercised prior to the consummation of the First Merger and (4) 13,800,000 redeemable New Grindr Warrants to be issued in the Domestication in exchange for redeemable Tiga Warrants.
The total number of shares of New Grindr Common Stock to be received by Grindr’s members or reserved for issuance to (i) holders of the options to purchase shares of New Grindr Common Stock (“New Grindr Options”) into which options to purchase Grindr Series X Ordinary Units (“Grindr Options”) are converted and (ii) holders of the warrants to purchase shares of New Grindr Common Stock (“New Grindr Warrants”) into which warrants to purchase Grindr Series X Ordinary Units (“Grindr Warrants”) are converted, will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (a) the Company Valuation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (b) the aggregate exercise price of all in-the-money Grindr Options and all in-the-money Grindr Warrants that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) $10.00 (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).
As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, each outstanding Grindr Series X Ordinary Unit will be cancelled upon the effective time of the First Merger in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of New Grindr Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Merger Consideration by (y) the aggregate number of Grindr Series X Ordinary Units that are outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the First Merger, determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Immediately following the Closing, assuming no redemptions, our public shareholders are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr; our Sponsor is expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr; our independent directors are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr on a combined basis; and our executive directors are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr on a combined basis. Immediately following the Closing, assuming maximum redemptions, our public shareholders are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr; our Sponsor is expected to own approximately % the voting power of New Grindr; our independent directors are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr on a combined basis; and our executive directors are expected to own approximately % of the voting power of New Grindr on a combined basis. Immediately after the Business Combination, San Vicente Investments LLC is expected to beneficially own more than 50% of the voting power of New Grindr. As a result, New Grindr will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE listing rules. However, New Grindr will not rely on any corporate governance exemptions available to controlled companies under the NYSE listing rules. For further details, see “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”
In addition, all Grindr Options and Grindr Warrants that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Merger, will be converted into options and warrants to purchase shares of New Grindr Common Stock, respectively.
The Tiga Units, Tiga Class A Ordinary Shares and Tiga Warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “TINV U,” “TINV” and “TINV WS,” respectively. Tiga will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of New Grindr Common Stock and New Grindr Warrants on NYSE under the proposed symbols “GRND” and “GDR”, respectively. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination described above that Tiga receives confirmation from NYSE that the securities have been conditionally approved for listing on NYSE, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that Tiga will obtain such confirmation from NYSE. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination described above will not be consummated unless the NYSE condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.
