DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN | NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Global Star Acquisition, Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 24, 2019, whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the initial public offering and the completion of its initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, GLST Merger Sub, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on June 12, 2023 (“GLST Merger Sub”), and K Wave Media Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company formed on June 22, 2023 (See “ Merger Agreement” As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 24, 2019 (inception) through September 30, 2023, relates to organizational activities and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Global Star Acquisition 1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 19, 2022. On September 22, 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 8,000,000 Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $ 11.50 10.00 80,000,000 1,200,000 10 12.0 Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 456,225 10.00 4,562,250 On October 4, 2022, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 1,200,000 10 12.0 42,000 420,000 Transaction costs amounted to $ 4,788,510 920,000 3,220,000 648,510 115,000 79,338 3,220,000 21 125,000 Special Meeting Nasdaq rules provide that at least 90 94,300,000 10.25 3,220,000 The proceeds in the trust account may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 Special Meeting On August 22, 2023, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Charter Amendment, which extends the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination by an additional nine-months pursuant to nine one-month extensions, from September 22, 2023 to June 22, 2024 (the “New Termination Date”), subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), provided the sponsor or its designees deposit into the trust account a monthly amount equal to $ 125,000 4,052,066 10.53 42,680,726 5,147,934 125,000 The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 The Company will have until December 22, 2023 (or up to June 22, 2024 in the event the Company extends the term to the fullest), to consummate a Business Combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination by June 22, 2024, or (i) as extended by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares and placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination prior to the New Termination date, the public stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the New Termination Date unless our initial business combination shall have occurred earlier and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our public stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date (see Note 10). Our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the independent public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.25 10.25 Liquidity and Going Concern As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 2,417,380 54,604,237 950,019 1,712,914 1,198,615 1,189,115 The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors, the Sponsor or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to loan us funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or June 22, 2024. However, if the Company’s estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or if the Company’s shareholders approve an extension to the mandatory liquidation date beyond 21 months from the closing of the IPO, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of a Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by December 22, 2023 (or up to June 22, 2024 in the event the company extends the term to the fullest), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40,“Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company has determined that the liquidity condition due to insufficient working capital and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination). The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary, if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Merger Agreement On June 15, 2023, the Company and K Enter Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “K Enter”) jointly issued a press release announcing the execution of a definitive Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Company will merge with and into K Wave Media Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed on June 22, 2023, and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), with Purchaser continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”) and (ii) GLST Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation, formed on June 12, 2023, and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Merger Sub”) will merge with and into K Enter, with K Enter surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, together, are referred to herein as the “Proposed Business Combination”. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parent of the combined company will be named “K Wave Media Ltd.” and the Company expects that the securities of the parent of the combined company will be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Risks and Uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, the geopolitical conditions resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and subsequent sanctions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities and the status of debt and equity markets, as well as protectionist legislation in our target markets, and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these factors could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1 1 On August 22, 2023, in connection with the implementation of the Extension, the Company’s public stockholders elected to redeem 4,052,066 Public Shares for a total of $42,680,726. As such the Company has recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $426,807 on the Company’s condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2023. The liability does not impact the Company’s condensed statements of operations and is offset against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital is not available. This excise tax liability can be offset by future share issuances within the same fiscal year which will be evaluated and adjusted in the period in which the issuances occur. Should the Company liquidate prior to December 31, 2023, the excise tax liability will not be due. |
