Exhibit 99.1

 

SAGALIAM ACQUISITION CORP. ANNOUNCES A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ON ITS EXTENSION PROXY SHAREHOLDER MEETING

 

New York, NY November 20, 2023 – Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: “SAGAU”, “SAGA”, “SAGAR”) (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) announced today that it received a Temporary Restraining Order on its extension proxy shareholder meeting.

 

On November 20, 2023, the US District Court for the District of Delaware issued a Temporary Restraining Order pursuant to Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Sagaliam is restrained and enjoined from convening a shareholders meeting on Nov 21, 2023 or any date thereafter to conduct a shareholder vote on a proposal to extend the Deadline Date, until a preliminary injunction is adjudicated in favor of Sagaliam.

 

A hearing on the portion of the Motion seeking issuance of a Preliminary Injunction is set for Dec 11, 2023 at 10 am.

 

In GLD Partners LP and Sponsor Member LLC vs Sagaliam Acquisition Corp, Case No. 1:99-mc-09999 filed on 7 Nov 23 (US District Court for the District of Delaware) claims are asserted that the transaction with VIRO and BGEN disenfranchises GLD of its voting rights.

 

The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, and believes that it has no basis in fact or law. In a 13D submitted by GLD Sponsor Member, LLC on April 25, 2023 it is disclosed that GLD Sponsor Member entered into an Insider Letter on December 20, 2022 including the provision to: “vote any shares of Common Stock owned by it in favor of any proposed Business Combination”. The extension proxy is a necessary precondition to the Business Combination Agreement, and is thus included in the parameters of the voting agreement included in the Insider Letter.

 

In Supraeon Investments Inc. vs Sagaliam Acquisition Corp, Case No. N23C-09-131 SKR CCLD filed on 15 Sep 23 (Superior Court of the State of Delaware) claims are asserted that the Company owes a $1,000,000 termination fee in connection with the previously proposed AEC acquisition. GLD is the controlling entity of Supraeon.

 

The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, and believes that it has no basis in fact or law. In an 8-K submitted by the Company on March 1, 2023 it was noted that “Sagaliam contends that it has no obligation to pay a termination fee.” It is the belief of the Company that there is no termination fee owed, and as a result of conflicts amongst multiple entities controlled by GLD, if a termination fee were to be owed, it would be owed by GLD.
