The Company’s sponsor was Levere Holding GG Ltd. (“Levere GG”), a U.K private company limited by shares. On March 23, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Goggo Network GmbH, a German company limited by shares and Levere GG, pursuant to which Levere GG transferred 6,413,571 Class B ordinary shares it holds in the Company to Goggo Network Gmbh.
