Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
HONG KONG - The Generation Essentials Group (TGE), a multifaceted media and entertainment company, and Black Spade Acquisition II Co (NASDAQ:BSII), a special purpose acquisition company, have announced the approval of their planned business combination following a shareholder vote held today. The deal is anticipated to be finalized on June 3, 2025.
Upon completion, TGE will emerge as the combined entity, with plans to list its Class A ordinary shares and warrants on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE American. The ticker symbols are expected to be "TGE" for the shares and "TGEWS" for the warrants, with the listing date to be announced post-closure.
This strategic move follows TGE’s growth in the global media, entertainment, and hospitality sectors. The company, with headquarters in France, is known for its diverse portfolio, including L’Officiel magazine, The Art Newspaper, and various entertainment projects. TGE’s expansion is supported by its joint establishment with AMTD Group and its affiliates AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB) and AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD).
Black Spade Acquisition II Co, the SPAC involved in this transaction, is part of Black Spade Capital’s portfolio, which includes a range of cross-border investments. This is the second SPAC from Black Spade Capital, with the first successfully merging with VinFast Auto Ltd., a Vietnamese electric vehicle company, in August 2023, marking a significant de-SPAC transaction at the time.
