Golden Star Announces Cancellation of Business Combination Extraordinary General Meeting

 

NEW YORK, May 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Golden Star Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: GODN) (the “Company” or “Golden Star”) today announced that it has cancelled the extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders that was previously scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2024 (the “Business Combination EGM”), and has withdrawn from consideration by the shareholders the proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Business Combination EGM filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 17, 2024.

 

As previously announced, on September 16, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Gamehaus Inc. (“Gamehaus”), a mobile game publishing company. On May 17, 2024, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement, announcing the Business Combination EGM to consider and vote upon, among other things, the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement.

 

On May 22, 2024, Gamehaus notified the Company that it received a written notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), requiring it to complete the filing with the CSRC pursuant to the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, as promulgated by the CSRC on February 17, 2023. Pursuant to Section 8.1(l) of the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to Gamehaus having received the necessary approval from the CSRC, among others. Therefore, the board of directors of the Company has decided to cancel the Business Combination EGM to allow more time for the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement to be met.
