____________

(1) The number of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Gorilla ordinary shares”), of Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) and warrants (“Gorilla warrants”) to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares being registered is based upon an estimate of the sum of (a) the maximum number of shares of Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A ordinary share”), of Global SPAC Partners Co. (“Global”) that will be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (as defined herein) and exchanged for one Gorilla ordinary share for each such Class A ordinary share; (b) the maximum number of shares of Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of Global (“Class B ordinary share” and, together with the Class A ordinary share, the “Global Ordinary Share”) that will be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, and exchanged for one Gorilla ordinary share for each such Class B ordinary share; and (c) the maximum number of warrants of Global (“Global warrants”) that will be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and exchanged for one Gorilla warrant for each such Global warrant.

(2) In accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) and Rule 457(c), as applicable, based on (i) in respect of Gorilla ordinary shares to be issued to Global shareholders, the average of the high ($10.01) and low ($10.01) prices of Class A ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 4, 2022, and (ii) in respect of Gorilla warrants to be issued to Global warrant holders, the sum of (a) the average of the high ($0.49) and low ($0.46) prices for the Global warrants on Nasdaq on January 4, 2022 and (b) $11.50, the exercise price of the Global warrants, resulting in a combined maximum offering price per warrant of $11.975. The maximum number of Gorilla warrants and Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Gorilla warrants are being simultaneously registered hereunder. Consistent with the response to Question 240.06 of the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, the registration fee with respect to the Gorilla warrants has been allocated to the underlying Gorilla ordinary shares and those Gorilla ordinary shares are included in the registration fee.

(3) Calculated by multiplying the proposed maximum aggregate offering price by 0.0000927.

(4) Represents Gorilla ordinary shares issuable in exchange for outstanding Global Ordinary Share upon the merger of Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) with and into Global pursuant to the Business Combination.

(5) Represents warrants of Gorilla, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Gorilla ordinary share, to be issued in exchange for Global warrants upon the merger of Merger Sub with and into Global pursuant to the Business Combination.

(6) Represents Gorilla ordinary shares underlying Gorilla warrants.

(7) Pursuant to Rule 416(a), there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from share sub-divisions, share dividends or similar transactions.

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment that specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 7, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

| PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF GLOBAL SPAC PARTNERS CO. PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 21,735,000 ORDINARY SHARES, 13,085,625 WARRANTS, AND 13,085,625 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS OF GORILLA TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC. |

The board of directors of Global SPAC Partners Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Global”), has approved the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of December 21, 2021, by and among Global, Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “Gorilla”) and Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Global, with Global surviving the merger (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, and upon consummation of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), Global will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with the securityholders of Global becoming securityholders of the Company.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and contingent upon the Closing, Gorilla will effect a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to which (a) the preference shares of Gorilla will be converted into Gorilla ordinary shares in accordance with Gorilla’s organizational documents; (b) Gorilla will effect a recapitalization of Gorilla ordinary shares so that the holders of Gorilla’s ordinary shares (and options to acquire Gorilla ordinary shares that are not converted to Gorilla ordinary shares in the Recapitalization) will have shares (or the right to acquire shares, as applicable) valued at $10.00 per share having a total value of $650,000,000, on a fully diluted basis (the ratio at which Gorilla ordinary shares are recapitalized being referred to as the Conversion Ratio); and (c) with respect to outstanding options to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares, the number of Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such security shall, as a result of the Recapitalization, become and be converted into such number of Gorilla ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $650,000,000, by (B) $10.00, and subsequently dividing such quotient by (C) the sum of (i) the number of Gorilla ordinary shares then outstanding and (ii) without duplication, the number of Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares, and taking such quotient to five decimal places, which ratio is referred to as the “Conversion Ratio”.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, Global’s existing public shareholders will own approximately __________%, Global SPAC Sponsors LLC (the “Sponsor”) will own approximately _______%, Gorilla’s existing securityholders will own approximately _________% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. These relative percentages assume that none of Global’s existing shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. If any of Global’s shareholders exercise their redemption rights, or any of the other assumptions underlying these percentages become inaccurate, these percentages may vary from the amounts shown above. Please see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants issuable to the securityholders of Global as described above. Accordingly, we are registering up to an aggregate of 21,735,000 Gorilla ordinary shares, 13,085,625 Gorilla warrants, and 13,085,625 Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Gorilla warrants. We are not registering the Gorilla ordinary shares issuable to the Gorilla securityholders.

Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the extraordinary general meeting of Global shareholders scheduled to be held on ____________, 2022 in virtual format. For the purposes of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Global, the physical place of the meeting shall be at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Fl., New York, NY 10105, United States of America.

Although Gorilla is not currently a public reporting company, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the closing of the Business Combination, Gorilla will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Gorilla intends to apply for listing of the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “GRRR” and “GRRRW”, respectively, to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the

Table of Contents

consummation of the Transactions that the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and round lot holder requirements). While trading on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that Gorilla’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 28 for more information.

Gorilla will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

Gorilla will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Gorilla’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Gorilla will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides Global shareholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of Global shareholders, including Global shareholders’ right to redeem the shares included in their subunits for a pro rata portion of the cash held in Global’s trust account in connection with the Business Combination. Throughout this proxy statement/prospectus, references to the redemption of public shares are to the redemption of public subunits and redemption price per share shall mean redemption price per public subunit. See “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting” for additional detail regarding the redemption process. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 28 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated ______________, 2022, and is first being mailed to Global shareholders on or about _____________, 2022.

The following questions and answers do not include all the information that may be important to Global shareholders. Global shareholders are urged to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the voting procedures for the extraordinary general meeting.

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A: Global and Gorilla have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and Global encourages its shareholders to read it in its entirety. Global’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement, which, among other filings, provides for Merger Sub to be merged with and into Global with Global being the surviving corporation in the Business Combination and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla, and the other Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. See the section entitled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q: Are there any other matters being presented to shareholders at the meeting?

A: In addition to voting on the Business Combination Proposal, the shareholders of Global will vote on the following proposals:

• To approve the following material differences between the Global Articles and the Gorilla Articles to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Gorilla Technology Group Inc.” as opposed to “Global SPAC Partners Co.”; (ii) the Gorilla Articles will provide for one class of ordinary shares as opposed to the two classes of Global Ordinary Share provided for in the Global Articles; (iii) Gorilla’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Global’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and (iv) the Gorilla Articles will not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that the Global Articles contain. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Two — The Charter Proposals.”

• To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of ___________ ordinary shares and ___________ warrants in the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Three — The Nasdaq Proposal.”

• To consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, if the parties are not able to consummate the Business Combination for any reason. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Four — The Adjournment Proposal.”

Global will hold the extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Global shareholders should read it carefully.

The vote of shareholders is important. Regardless of how many shares you own, you are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Why is Global providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A: Pursuant to the Global Articles, Global is required to provide shareholders with an opportunity to have their public subunits redeemed for cash, either through a shareholder meeting or tender offer. Due to the structure of the Transactions, Global is providing this opportunity through a shareholder vote.

Q: What will happen to Global’s securities upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A: Global’s units, subunits and the Global warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols GLSPU, GLSPT and GLSPW, respectively. Global’s securities will cease trading upon consummation of the Business Combination. If you own Global units, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, your Global units will split into the underlying subunits and warrants. If you have tendered your public shares underlying your public subunits, you will also forfeit the public subunit warrants underlying such public subunits. Any public shares underlying public subunits that are not tendered for redemption will split into the underlying Class A ordinary shares and warrants, and you will receive Gorilla ordinary shares in exchange for your Class A ordinary share and Gorilla warrants in exchange for your Global warrants as described herein. Gorilla intends to apply for listing of the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “GRRR” and “GRRRW,” respectively, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Transactions that the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and round lot holder requirements). While trading on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the consummation of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that Gorilla’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and the Combined Company” for more information.

Q: What will happen to Global’s warrants in the Business Combination?

A: Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) every four one-quarter public subunit warrants of Global that are not forfeited in connection with redemptions will automatically be combined to form a whole warrant and fractional warrants will no longer exist, (ii) every two public unit warrants held by a holder of unseparated units will automatically be combined to form a whole warrant and fractional warrants will no longer exist, and (iii) every whole Global warrant will be exchanged for a Gorilla warrant. Since no fractional warrants will then exist and only whole warrants will trade, (A) with respect to public subunit warrants, you will need to have a number of unredeemed public subunits divisible by four at that time, or you could lose up to three-quarters of a Global warrant, and (B) with respect to public unit warrants, you will need to have a number of unseparated public units divisible by two, or you could lose up to half of a Global warrant. Accordingly, in order to avoid such a situation, shareholders that do not intend to transfer the component pieces of the public units prior to the consummation of the Business Combination should continue to hold their securities as a combined unit so as to ensure that no portion of the warrant is lost.

Q: Why is Global proposing the Business Combination?

A: Global was organized to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On April 13, 2021, Global consummated the Global IPO of units, with each unit consisting of one subunit and one-half of one Global warrant, raising total gross proceeds of $167,500,000, including $7,500,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Simultaneously with the closing of the Global IPO, Global consummated the sale of 697,500 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement to Sponsor and I-Bankers, generating gross proceeds of $6,975,000. The aggregate proceeds held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) resulting from the Global IPO and the private placement units was $169,175,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of its initial public offering, Global issued 100,000 Class B ordinary shares to I-Bankers as representative shares. Since the Global IPO, Global’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

Global believes Gorilla is a company with an appealing market opportunity and growth profile, a strong position in its industry and a compelling valuation. As a result, Global believes that the Business Combination will provide Global shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential. See the section entitled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Global’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and the Recommendation of the Board of Directors.”

Q: Did Global’s board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A: No. Global’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. We note that the prospectus for the Global IPO provides that if Global seeks to complete a business combination with an entity affiliated with the Sponsor or Global’s officers or directors, Global would be required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such an initial business combination is fair from a financial point of view. Gorilla is not an entity affiliated with the Sponsor or Global’s officers or directors. In light of the foregoing and the fact that a majority of Global’s board of directors did not have an interest in the proposed transaction, except as disclosed in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Global, Gorilla and the Combined Company” of this proxy statement/prospectus, Global’s board of directors determined that hiring an independent valuation firm or appointing a committee of independent directors was not necessary to evaluate the proposed transaction.

Additionally, in analyzing the Business Combination, Global’s board of directors reviewed the significant business, financial and legal due diligence completed and/or commission by Global’s management on Gorilla and again concluded that its members’ collective experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of Global’s management, enabled it to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination, including that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its shareholders and that Gorilla’s fair market value was at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination.

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that Global redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in Global’s Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. We sometimes refer to these rights to demand redemption of the public shares as “redemption rights.” The redemption of public shares, as used herein, refers to the redemption of public subunits, consisting of one ordinary share and one-quarter public subunit warrant, and upon a redemption of the public subunit (public shares), both the ordinary share and the public subunit warrant contained therein will be forfeited.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be converted.

Under the Global Articles, the Business Combination may not be consummated if Global has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination after taking into account the redemption for cash of all public shares properly demanded to be redeemed by holders of public shares.

If you are a holder of public shares (through your ownership of Global subunits) and you exercise your redemption rights, it will result in the loss of your Global subunit warrants contained in the public subunits that are redeemed, but will not result in the loss of any public unit warrants that you may hold directly (including those contained in any unseparated public units you hold). Your whole warrants will be exchanged for

Q. Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A. No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you are a holder of public shares on the Record Date (so long as you are a holder at the time of exercise), or whether you are a holder and vote your Class A ordinary shares of Global on the Business Combination Proposal (for or against) or any other proposal described by this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q. If I am a unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

A. No. Holders of outstanding units must separate the units into their individual component parts prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public subunits. If the units are registered in a holder’s own name, the holder must deliver the certificate for its units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company Global’s transfer agent (“Continental”), with written instructions to separate the units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder of the public subunits may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the public subunits from the units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below. The address of Continental is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your public units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your public units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental, Global’s transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of public units to be split and the nominee holding such public units. As detailed above, this must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public subunits from the public units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation of units. If you fail to cause your public units to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: A holder of public shares may exercise redemption rights regardless of whether it votes for or against the Business Combination Proposal or does not vote on such proposal at all, or if it is a holder of public shares on the record date. If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that Global convert your public shares into cash and deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Global’s transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System no later than two (2) business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting. Any holder of public shares seeking redemption will be entitled to their pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $_________, or $_______ per share, as of the record date), less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. Such amount will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Global unless the Board of Directors of Global determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). If you deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms for redemption to Global’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the time the vote is counted at the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Global’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Global’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

Any written demand of redemption rights must be received by Global’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent.

If you are a holder of public shares (through your ownership of Global subunits) and you exercise your redemption rights, it will result in the loss of your Global warrants contained in the Global subunits, but will not result in the loss of any Global unit warrants that you may hold directly (including those contained in any unseparated units you hold). Your whole warrants will be exchanged for Gorilla warrants and become exercisable to purchase one Gorilla ordinary share following consummation of the Business Combination a further described herein.

____________

(1) Includes warrants included in subunits that are not redeemed.

Assuming maximum redemptions and based on the market value per warrant as of the closing price on December 31, 2021 for Global’s public warrants, redeeming shareholders may retain public warrants with an aggregate value of approximately $4.6 million (after redeeming their shares). Additionally, as a result of redemptions, the trading market for the Gorilla ordinary shares may be less liquid than the market for the Global securities prior to consummation of the Business Combination, and Gorilla may not be able to meet the listing standards for the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

Q. If I am a warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A. No. The holders of warrants (whether unit warrants or subunit warrants) have no redemption rights with respect to such securities.

If holders redeem all of their public shares at closing but continue to hold any public unit warrants, the aggregate value of all Global warrants that may be retained by public shareholders, based on the closing trading price per Global public unit warrant as of December 31, 2021, would be $4.6 million, regardless of the amount of redemptions by the public shareholders.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A: None of the subunit holders or warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection the Business Combination under the Companies Act. Global shareholders may be entitled to give notice to Global prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Global shares if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act, noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Companies Act which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. It is Global’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Global shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

Q: What equity stake will the current Gorilla shareholders and Global shareholders hold in the public company immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A: It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership interests in Gorilla as the public company will be as set forth in the table below:

|  | No Redemption Scenario |  | 50% Redemption Scenario(1) |  | Max Redemption Scenario(2)
|  | Shares |  | % |  | Shares |  | % |  | Shares |  | %

The share numbers set forth above do not take into account (a) Global’s public warrants and warrants underlying the private placement units that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing of the Business Combination), or (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under Gorilla Technology Group Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan. If the actual facts are different than the assumptions set forth above, the share numbers set forth above will be different.

Based on Global’s public trading price at market close on December 23, 2021 ($10.00), the estimated implied dollar value of the Sponsor post-Business Combination ordinary shares is approximately $217.4 million if none of the Redemption Equity is forfeited, or approximately $98.6 million if the max Redemption Equity is forfeited.

The table below reflects the ownership percentages immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination if all Global warrants are exercised assuming no redemptions, 50% redemptions and maximum redemptions.

For more information, please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

It should be noted that when the Global warrants become exercisable, we may require the public warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis and the warrants underlying the private placement units may be exercised on a cashless basis at the option of each holder thereof.

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: The net proceeds of the Global IPO, together with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter and a portion of the amount raised from the simultaneous private placement of Global units for a total of $169,175,000, was placed in the Trust Account immediately following the Global IPO. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay, on a pro rata basis, holders of the public shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination (including aggregate fees of approximately $5.86 million to the underwriter of the Global IPO, subject to a maximum reduction of 20% for redemption and after any reductions due to redemptions, up to 30% to a firm or firms who assists Global with the Business Combination) and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Q: What happens if a substantial number of public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A: Global’s public shareholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their redemption rights, although they are not required to vote in any way to exercise such redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders. Nonetheless, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, Global having an aggregate cash amount of at least $50 million available at Closing from the Trust Account and the PIPE Investors, if applicable, but without taking into account any expenses which may be payable from the Trust Account (the “Minimum Cash Condition”). If the Business Combination is consummated, but we experience a significant level of redemptions, this may result in fewer public shares and public shareholders, which may result in the trading market for Gorilla ordinary shares being less liquid than the market for Global’s securities was prior to consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, Gorilla may not be able to meet the listing standards for the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. Furthermore, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Gorilla’s business will be reduced. As such, Gorilla’s ability to perform against its business plan may be negatively impaired if redemptions by Global’s public shareholders are significant. See a discussion of risks related to redemption rights in “Risk Factors Related to Redemption”.

Public shareholders who purchased units as part of Global’s IPO for $10.00 may experience dilution if they elect not to redeem in connection with the Business Combination. The expense of the deferred underwriting commission would be borne by those shareholders who elect not to redeem.

Global’s IPO investors will also face dilution from the Founder Shares, which will automatically convert into Gorilla ordinary shares at the closing on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the issuance of 4,187,500 ordinary shares. The table below illustrates how the conversion of the Founder Shares and other sources of possible dilution affect the public shareholder ownership percentage in the combined entity.

|  | No Redemption Scenario |  | 50% Redemption Scenario(1) |  | Max Redemption Scenario(2)
|  | Shares |  | % |  | Shares |  | % |  | Shares |  | %
Global Public Shareholders |  | 21,286,459 |  | 23.3 |  |  | 12,155,382 |  | 14.8 |  |  | 8,338,384 |  | 10.6 |
Gorilla Shareholders |  | 65,000,000 |  | 71.1 |  |  | 65,000,000 |  | 79.0 |  |  | 65,000,000 |  | 82.8 |

The tables above in Q&A discussing the ownership of Gorilla shareholders and Global shareholders post-Business Combination show possible sources of dilution and the extent of such dilution that non-redeeming Global public shareholders could experience in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. In an effort to illustrate the extent of such dilution, the table above shows the effect of the exercise of all public warrants and warrants underlying the private placement units, which are exercisable for one whole share at a price of $11.50 per share at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The table is presented assuming (i) no redemptions, (ii) 50% of the maximum redemptions and (iii) maximum redemptions that may occur but which would still provide for the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition.

The deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO will be released to the underwriters only on completion of the Business Combination, in an amount equal to approximately 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, subject to a maximum reduction of 20% for redemption and after any reductions due to redemptions, up to 30% to a firm or firms who assists Global with the Business Combination. Below is a summary of the total deferred underwriting commission to be paid upon closing of the Business Combination, assuming (i) no redemptions, (ii) 50% of the maximum redemptions and (iii) maximum redemptions that may occur but which would still provide for the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition of a trust account balance greater than $50 million, before payment of deferred underwriting fees.

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A: If Global does not complete the Business Combination with Gorilla for whatever reason, Global would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If Global does not complete the Business Combination with Gorilla or another business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of outstanding public shares. Both the private placement units and the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors have waived their redemption rights with respect to their units and Founder Shares, respectively, in the event a business combination is

12

Table of Contents

not effected in the required time period, and, accordingly, their Founder Shares will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to Global’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

Q: How do the Sponsor and the officers and directors of Global intend to vote on the proposals?

A: The Sponsor, as well as Global’s officers and directors, beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 21.7% of the outstanding Global Ordinary Share. These holders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These holders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. In addition to the Global Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors, Global would need 6,075,001 shares, or approximately 36.3%, of the 16,750,000 public shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals in order for them to be approved.

Q: What interests do the Sponsor and the current officers and directors of Global have in the Business Combination?

A: In considering the recommendation of Global’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, aside from any interests as holders of public shares, the Sponsor and certain of Global’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other holders of public shares generally. Global’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the fact that:

• If the Business Combination with Gorilla or another business combination is not consummated by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Global IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $___________ million based upon the closing price of $___________ per share on Nasdaq on ___________, 2022. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Global Ordinary Share will be converted into one Gorilla ordinary share. In the aggregate, the 4,187,500 Founder Shares will be converted into Global Class A ordinary share and exchanged for 4,187,500 Gorilla ordinary shares.

• The Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased 697,500 private placement units from Global for $10.00 per unit. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Global IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Nearly all of the proceeds Global received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such private placement units had an aggregate market value of approximately _________ million based upon the closing price of $_________ per unit on Nasdaq on _________, 2022. The warrants underlying the private placement units will become worthless if Global does not consummate a business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant underlying the private placement unit will be exchanged for one warrant of Gorilla.

• If Global is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Global. If Global consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Global and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

• The Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of activities on Global’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Global fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Global may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). As of the record date, the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $___________ of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

• The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate;

• Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.00435 that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

• In the event that a business combination is not effected, the Sponsor will not be entitled to any reimbursement of funds invested in Global. In total, the Sponsor has invested $5,325,000 for securities that would be worthless absent the completion of a business combination. The Sponsor, its affiliates and Global’s officers and directors have no loans outstanding to Global.

• The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Global’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Global’s current directors and officers.

• Global’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Global to fund certain capital requirements. On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan Global an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Global IPO pursuant to a promissory note that was repaid in full upon the completion of the Global IPO. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Global outside of the Trust Account.

• Jay Chandan, Global’s Chairman, will be Executive Chairman of Gorilla following the closing of the Business Combination. Such position may provide Mr. Chandan with compensation, including equity incentives. The terms of such position have not been negotiated or approved, and will not be considered by Gorilla until after the Business Combination.

• In addition to these interests of the Sponsor and Global’s current officers and directors, the Global Articles waive the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. The “corporate opportunity” doctrine generally provides that a director or officer may not take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (1) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (2) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (3) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (4) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the self-interest of the director or officer will be brought into conflict with the director’s or officer’s duties to the corporation. However, Global does not believe that the waiver of the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine in the Global Articles had any impact on its search for a potential business combination target.

Q: When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A: It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Global extraordinary general meeting, which is set for ______________, 2022; however, such meeting could be adjourned or postponed to a later date, as described above.

A: Your broker, bank or nominee can vote your shares without receiving your instructions on “routine” proposals only. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

The Charter Proposal to approve the name of the public company being “Gorilla Technology Group Inc.” is considered a routine proposal. Accordingly, your broker, bank or nominee may vote your shares with respect to such proposal without receiving voting instructions.

The Business Combination Proposal, each other Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are non-routine proposals. Accordingly, your broker, bank or nominee may not vote your shares with respect to these proposals unless you provide voting instructions.

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A: Yes. Shareholders of record may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Global’s transfer agent at the address set forth below so that it is received prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting or virtually attend the extraordinary general meeting and submit a ballot through the web portal during the extraordinary general meeting webcast. Shareholders of record also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Global’s transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to change your instructions on how to vote. If you hold your shares in “street name” and wish to virtually attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote through the web portal, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: What constitutes a quorum for the extraordinary general meeting?

A: A quorum is the minimum number of Global Ordinary Shares that must be present to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Global extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Global Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at the extraordinary general meeting or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the general meeting. The Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share are entitled vote together as a single class on all matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q: What shareholder vote thresholds are required for the approval of each proposal brought before the extraordinary general meeting?

• Business Combination Proposal — The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the general meeting. The Transactions will not be consummated if Global has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Transactions.

Q: What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

A: If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the Business Combination is approved by the Global shareholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder and/or warrant holder of Gorilla.

If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a shareholder and/or warrant holder of Global, as applicable, and Global will continue to search for another target business with which to complete an initial business combination. If Global does not complete an initial business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Global’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate.

Q: What should I do with my subunit and/or warrant certificates?

A: Warrant holders and those shareholders who do not elect to have their Global Ordinary Shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the Trust Account should wait for instructions from Global’s transfer agent regarding what to do with their certificates.

Upon consummation of the Transactions, the Global warrants, by their terms, will be exchanged for Gorilla warrants and entitle holders to purchase shares of Gorilla. Therefore, warrant holders need not deliver their warrants to Global or Gorilla at that time.

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Global Ordinary Shares.

The Parties to the Business Combination

Gorilla is a leading market provider of video intelligence, Internet of Things (“IoT”) security, edge AI data analytics and operational technology (“OT”) security solutions and services in Asia Pacific with operations and established distribution and sales channels in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Since its founding in 2001, Gorilla has produced revolutionary and transformational technology using AI and edge AI computing. Its established technologies form the foundation of its line of product and service offerings for a wide range of commercial, industrial, municipal and government customers, enabling such customers to securely move, store and analyze data for use in biometric authentication, account management, device management, business intelligence, and other applications.

Global SPAC Partners Co.

Global was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 6, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On April 13, 2021, Global closed its initial public offering of 16,750,000 units, including 750,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one subunit and one-half of one redeemable Global warrant, and each subunit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of redeemable Global warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 commencing 30 days after the consummation of an initial business combination.

Global’s units, subunits and the Global warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols GLSPU, GLSPT, GLSPW, respectively.

The mailing address of Global’s principal executive office is 2093 Philadelphia Pike #1968, Claymont, DE 19703, and its telephone number is (650) 560-4753. After the consummation of the Business Combination, Global’s principal executive office will be that of Gorilla.

Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc.

Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and has not carried on any activities other than those in connection with the Business Combination. The address and telephone number for Merger Sub’s principal executive offices are the same as those for Gorilla.

The Business Combination Agreement

The terms and conditions of the merger of Merger Sub with and into Global, with Global surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla (the “Business Combination”) are contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the Business Combination Agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal.”

19

Table of Contents

The Charter Proposals

The Global shareholders will vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the Global Articles and the Gorilla Articles to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Gorilla Technology Group Inc.” as opposed to “Global SPAC Partners Co.”; (ii) the Gorilla Articles provide for one class of ordinary shares as opposed to the two classes of Global Ordinary Share provided for in the Global Articles; (iii) Gorilla’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Global’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and (iv) the Gorilla Articles do not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that the Global Articles contain. The Gorilla Articles to be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Two — The Charter Proposals.”

The Nasdaq Proposal

The Global shareholders will vote to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of _________ ordinary shares and ___________ warrants in the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Three — The Nasdaq Proposal.”

The Adjournment Proposal

If Global is unable to consummate the Business Combination at the time of the extraordinary general meeting for any reason, the chairman presiding over the extraordinary general meeting may submit a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal Four — The Adjournment Proposal.”

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting of Global’s Shareholders

The extraordinary general meeting will be held at _______ a.m. Eastern Time, on ___________, 2022, via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/globalspacpartners/2022, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

Voting Power; Record Date

Global shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned Global Ordinary Share at the close of business on ____________, 2022, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. Global shareholders will have one vote for each share of Global Ordinary Share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Global warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 21,735,000 Global Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which were 16,750,000 public shares with the rest being held by the initial shareholders and their respective affiliates (including the Sponsor and I-Bankers).

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Global Articles, a holder of public shares may demand that Global redeem such shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated; provided that Global may not consummate the Business Combination if it has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination. Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Global unless the Board of Directors of Global determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). If you deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms for redemption to Global’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the time the vote is counted at the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Global’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Global’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

20

Table of Contents

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public subunits to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold public subunits, or

(b) hold public subunits through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public subunits prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public subunits; and

(ii) prior to _________, Eastern Time, on _________, 2022, (a) submit a written request to Continental that Global redeem your public subunits for cash and (b) deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DWAC.

Holders of outstanding units must separate the units into their individual component parts prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public subunits. The holder must deliver the certificate for its units to Continental (if the units are registered in the holder’s own name) or to its broker dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee (if the units are held in “street name”), as applicable, with written instructions to separate the units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder of the public subunits may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the public subunits from the units.

Holders of public subunits do not need to affirmatively vote on the Business Combination Proposal or be a holder of such public subunits as of the record date to exercise redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not consummated, these public subunits will not be redeemed for cash. If a holder of public subunits properly demands redemption, delivers his, her or its subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Global’s transfer agent as described above, and the Business Combination is consummated, Global will redeem each public subunit for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the date of the extraordinary general meeting. It is anticipated that this would amount to approximately $_____________ per share. If a holder of public subunits exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his, her or its public subunits for cash and will no longer own securities of the combined company. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares into cash.

If you are a holder of public shares (through your ownership of Global subunits) and you exercise your redemption rights, it will result in the loss of your Global warrants contained in the Global subunits, but will not result in the loss of any separated Global warrants that you may hold directly (including those contained in any units you hold and do not tender for redemption which are split into Global Ordinary Shares and Global warrants at merger closing). Your whole warrants will be exchanged for Gorilla warrants and become exercisable to purchase one Gorilla ordinary share following consummation of the Business Combination.

Appraisal Rights

None of the unit holders or warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection the Business Combination under the Companies Act. Global shareholders may be entitled to give notice to Global prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Global shares if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act, noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Companies Act which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. It is Global’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Global shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Shareholders — Appraisal Rights.”

Global’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination

Global’s Board of Directors listened to and reviewed a presentation provided by the Global management team and certain board members who have had multiple interactions with Gorilla, in order to determine that the consideration to be paid to Gorilla was reasonable and that the Business Combination was in the best interests of Global’s shareholders.

21

Table of Contents

The presentation provided to the Board was primarily derived from due diligence that Global management team and certain board members conducted of Gorilla that included:

• Review of Gorilla’s historical financials and projected financials

• Gorilla’s customer contracts

• Gorilla’s existing debt and equity financing agreements

• Market research conducted by Global

• Discussions with Gorilla management and investors

• Discussions with investment professionals in the AI & Tech industry

• Management presentation materials from Gorilla

• Financial data of public companies that are comparable to Gorilla

See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Global’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and the Recommendation of the Board of Directors.”

Interests of Global’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of Global’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals and the Nasdaq Proposal, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Global’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those holders of public shares generally. In particular:

• If the Business Combination with Gorilla or another business combination is not consummated by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Global IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $______ million based upon the closing price of $___________ per share on Nasdaq on __________, 2022. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Global Ordinary Share will be converted into one Gorilla ordinary share. In the aggregate, the 4,187,500 Founder Shares will be converted into Global Class A ordinary share and exchanged for 4,187,500 Gorilla ordinary shares.

• The Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased 697,500 private placement units from Global for $10.00 per unit. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Global IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Nearly all of the proceeds Global received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such private placement units had an aggregate market value of approximately $_________ million based upon the closing price of $_________ per unit on Nasdaq on ___________, 2022. The warrants underlying the private placement units will become worthless if Global does not consummate a business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant underlying the private placement unit will be exchanged for one warrant of Gorilla.

• If Global is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Global. If Global consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Global and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

22

Table of Contents

• The Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of activities on Global’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Global fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Global may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). As of the record date, the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $_________ of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

• The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate;

• Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.00435 that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

• In the event that a business combination is not effected, the Sponsor will not be entitled to any reimbursement of funds invested in Global. In total, the Sponsor has invested $5,325,000 for securities that would be worthless absent the completion of a business combination. The Sponsor, its affiliates and Global’s officers and directors have no loans outstanding to Global.

• The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Global’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Global’s current directors and officers.

• Global’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Global to fund certain capital requirements. On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan Global an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Global IPO pursuant to a promissory note that was repaid in full upon the completion of the Global IPO. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Global outside of the Trust Account.

• Jay Chandan, Global’s Chairman, will be Executive Chairman of Gorilla following the closing of the Business Combination. Such position may provide Mr. Chandan with compensation, including equity incentives. The terms of such position have not been negotiated or approved, and will not be considered by Gorilla until after the Business Combination.

• In addition to these interests of the Sponsor and Global’s current officers and directors, the Global Articles waive the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. The “corporate opportunity” doctrine generally provides that a director or officer may not take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (1) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (2) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (3) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (4) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the self-interest of the director or officer will be brought into conflict with the director’s or officer’s duties to the corporation. However, Global does not believe that the waiver of the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine in the Global Articles had any impact on its search for a potential business combination target.

Recommendation to Global Shareholders

Global’s board of directors has determined that each of the proposals outlined above is in the best interests of Global and recommended that Global shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” each of the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a description of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, the exercise of redemption rights in respect of Global Ordinary Shares and the ownership and disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, please see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Certain Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

For a description of certain material Cayman Islands tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, please see “Certain Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Global will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Gorilla issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Global as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Global will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Gorilla has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

• The former owners of Gorilla will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the Combined Company;

• The operations of Gorilla will represent the ongoing operations of the Combined Company; and

• Gorilla is the larger of the combining entities based on fair value, assets, revenues and profits.

The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combinations, since Global does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Gorilla ordinary shares issued over the fair value of Global’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as upon consummation.

Comparison of Rights of Shareholders of Global and Shareholders of Gorilla

If the Business Combination is successfully completed, holders of Global Ordinary Share will become holders of Gorilla ordinary shares and their rights as shareholders will be governed by Gorilla’s organizational documents. Please see “Comparison of Rights of Gorilla Shareholders and Global Shareholders” for more information.

Emerging Growth Company

Each of Global and Gorilla is, and, following the Business Combination, the combined company will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, the combined company will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the combined company’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the combined company’s securities and the prices of the combined company’s securities may be more volatile.

24

Table of Contents

The combined company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which Gorilla ordinary shares were offered in exchange for Global Ordinary Share in connection with the Transactions, (b) in which the combined company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which the combined company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the combined company’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the combined company has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the Cayman Islands necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.

Summary Risk Factors

You should consider all the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

• Gorilla expects to invest substantially in research and development for the purpose of developing and commercializing new services, and these investments could significantly reduce its profitability or increase its losses and may not generate revenue for Gorilla;

• If Gorilla does not develop enhancements to its services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance, its growth, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;

• If Gorilla is unsuccessful at investing in growth opportunities, its business could be materially and adversely affected;

• Gorilla may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to execute its business plan, and these funds may not be available to Gorilla when it needs them or on favorable terms.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been presented for illustrative purposes and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been consummated as of the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two scenarios with respect to the potential redemption by public shareholders of Global Class A ordinary shares for cash:

• Assuming no redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public shareholders exercise their rights to redeem any of their Global Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. Thus, the full amount of funds held in the Trust Account as of closing is available for the Business Combination.

• Assuming maximum redemptions: This presentation assumes that holders of Global Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption exercise their rights to redeem their Global Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. This scenario gives effect to redemptions of 11,875,941 Global Class A ordinary shares for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $119.9 million, using a per-share redemption price of $10.10, which is the maximum redemption amount after which the closing conditions of the Business Combination Agreement are still achieved. Such closing conditions require that Global will have cash, prior to the payment of transaction costs, of $50.0 million comprising (i) the funds held in the Trust Account or Global’s operating account after giving effect to the Global shareholder redemption, prior to payment of transaction expenses, and (ii) aggregate net proceeds from any PIPE Investment.

RISK FACTORS

If the Business Combination is completed, the combined company will operate in a market environment that is difficult to predict and that involves significant risks, many of which will be beyond its control. You should carefully consider the risks described below before voting your shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Gorilla and Global or that they do not currently believe are important to an investor, if they materialize, also may adversely affect the Business Combination. If any of the events, contingencies, circumstances or conditions described in the following risks actually occur, the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. If that happens, the trading price of Gorilla’s ordinary shares or, if the Business Combination is not consummated, Global Ordinary Share could decline, and you may lose part or all of the value of any Gorilla ordinary shares or, if the Business Combination is not consummated, Global Ordinary Shares that you hold.

Risks Related to Gorilla

In this sub-section the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Gorilla.

Risks Related to Gorilla’s Business and Industry

Gorilla expects to invest substantially in research and development for the purpose of developing and commercializing new services, and these investments could significantly reduce its profitability or increase its losses and may not generate revenue for Gorilla.

Gorilla’s future growth depends on its ability to enhance its existing services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance and penetrate new markets. Therefore, Gorilla plans to incur substantial research and development costs as part of its efforts to develop and commercialize new services and enhance existing services. Gorilla’s research and development expenses were approximately US$14.34 million and US$11.34 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively and are likely to grow in the future. Future research and development expenses will adversely affect Gorilla’s future results of operations. In addition, Gorilla’s research and development program may not produce successful results, and even if it does successfully produce new services, those services may not achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable.

If Gorilla does not develop enhancements to its services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance, its growth, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Gorilla’s ability to attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients depends, in part, on its ability to enhance and improve its existing services, increase adoption and usage of its services, and introduce new services. The success of any enhancements or new services depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance.

Enhancements, such as additional technology features, and new services, such as software licenses and data services, that Gorilla develops may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, may have interoperability difficulties with its platform or other services or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. Furthermore, Gorilla’s ability to increase the usage of its services depends, in part, on the development of new uses for its services, which may be outside of its control. Its ability to generate usage of additional services by its data consumers may also require increasingly sophisticated and more costly sales efforts and result in a longer sales cycle. If Gorilla is unable to successfully enhance its existing services to meet evolving data consumer requirements, increase adoption and usage of its services, develop new services, or if its efforts to increase the usage of its services are more expensive than Gorilla expects, then its business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

28

Table of Contents

If Gorilla is unsuccessful at investing in growth opportunities, its business could be materially and adversely affected.

Gorilla continues to invest significantly in growth opportunities, including the development of new technologies and services to meet its clients’ needs. For example, Gorilla and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation, are collaborating on project which aims to deliver edge AI computer vision solutions like IVAR® video analytics to clients and customers in Japan. Gorilla also continues to invest significantly in growth opportunities outside the Asia-Pacific and in particular the European Union and United States. Gorilla considers its presence in these markets to be an important component of its growth strategy.

There is no assurance that Gorilla’s growth strategy will be successful or will produce a sufficient or any return on its investments. Further, if Gorilla is unable to develop new technologies and services or its new technologies and services do not work as intended or there are delays in the availability or adoption of its new technologies and services, then Gorilla may not be able to grow its business or growth may occur slower than anticipated. Additionally, although Gorilla anticipates continued growth in the video intelligence, IoT technologies, and cybersecurity markets, such growth may occur more slowly or not at all, and Gorilla may not benefit from its investments.

Gorilla plans to fund growth opportunities with cash from operations or from future financings. There can be no assurance that those sources will be available in sufficient amounts to fund future growth opportunities when needed.

Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Gorilla may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to execute its business plan, and these funds may not be available to Gorilla when it needs them or on favorable terms. If Gorilla cannot raise additional funds when it needs them, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Gorilla may require additional capital in the future in order to fund its growth strategy or to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, data consumer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances. It may also determine there is a need to raise equity or debt financing for other reasons. For example, in order to further enhance business relationships with current or potential customers or partners, Gorilla may issue equity or equity-linked securities to such current or potential customers or partners.

Gorilla may not be able to timely secure debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If Gorilla raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity-linked securities, its existing shareholders could experience significant dilution. In addition, any debt financing obtained by Gorilla in the future, whether in the form of a credit facility or otherwise, could involve restrictive covenants relating to its capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for Gorilla to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If Gorilla is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to Gorilla when Gorilla requires it, Gorilla’s ability to continue to grow or support its business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In addition, because Gorilla’s decision to issue debt or equity in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond its control, it cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of its future capital raising efforts.

Gorilla has experienced moderate growth in the past five years, and if Gorilla fails to effectively manage its growth, then its business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Gorilla has experienced moderate growth in its business since 2016 when Gorilla developed its edge AI capabilities in video analytics and cyber analytics. For example, Gorilla has also experienced significant growth in the number of data consumers, usage and amount of data that its platform and associated infrastructure support. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on its corporate culture, operational infrastructure and management. Any failure to manage Gorilla’s anticipated growth and organizational changes in a manner that preserves the key aspects of its culture and services could adversely affect Gorilla’s overall chance for future success, including its ability to recruit and retain personnel, and effectively focus on and pursue its corporate objectives. This, in turn, could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

29

Table of Contents

In addition, Gorilla’s ability to manage its operations and future growth will require Gorilla to continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls, compliance programs with multiple and changing foreign laws and regulations and reporting systems. Gorilla is currently in the process of strengthening its compliance programs, including its compliance programs related to data protection, privacy and cybersecurity and anti-corruption. Gorilla may not be able to implement improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing controls, programs, systems and procedures, which could have an adverse effect on its business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Gorilla relies, in part, on partnerships to grow its business. The partnerships may not produce the financial or operating results that Gorilla anticipates. In addition, if Gorilla is unable to enter into partnerships, or successfully maintain them, its growth may be adversely impacted.

Historically, Gorilla has relied, in part, on a variety of partnerships to grow its business, including partnering with leading technology companies and government agencies. The majority of the partnerships allow Gorilla to provide data services as part of services provided by the partners, thereby increasing Gorilla’s customer base without the need to address the customers directly.

Any partnerships Gorilla enters into may not be on favorable terms, and the expected benefits and growth from these partnerships may not materialize as planned. Gorilla may have difficulty assimilating new partnerships and their services, technologies, IT systems and personnel into its operations. IT and data security profiles of partners may not meet its technological standards and may take longer to integrate and remediate than planned. This may result in significantly greater transaction and integration costs for future partnerships than Gorilla has experienced historically, or it could mean that Gorilla will not pursue certain partnerships where the costs of integration and remediation are too significant. These difficulties could disrupt its ongoing business, increase its expenses and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Despite its past experience, opportunities to grow its business through partnerships may not be available to Gorilla in the future.

Historically, a single customer has accounted for a material portion of Gorilla’s revenues and, therefore, the loss of that customer could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

One of Gorilla’s customers accounted for approximately 25% of its revenue in 2020. The loss of this customer could result in a significant reduction of Gorilla’s anticipated revenues, which could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Gorilla’s business depends on expanding our base of clients and our clients increasing their use of our services, and our inability to expand our base of, or lose any of, our clients or decline in their use of our services could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Gorilla’s ability to grow as a business and generate revenue growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand our base of clients, maintain and grow our relationships with existing clients and that our clients increase their use of our services. If Gorilla is not successful in attracting new clients or its existing clients do not increase their use of our services, then our revenue growth may decline, and our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Clients are charged based on the use of our services. Many of Gorilla’s clients do not have long-term contractual financial commitments to Gorilla and, therefore, most of our clients may reduce or cease their use of its services at any time without penalty or termination charges. Clients may terminate or reduce their use of its services for any number of reasons, including if they are not satisfied with its services, the value proposition of its services or its ability to meet their needs and expectations.

Gorilla cannot accurately predict our clients’ usage levels and our inability to attract new clients or the loss of clients or reductions in their use levels of our services may each have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may slow our growth in the future if clients are not satisfied with our services, the value proposition of our products and services, or our ability to meet the needs of our clients and their expectations. If a significant number of clients cease using, or reduce their use of our services, then Gorilla may be required to spend significantly more on sales and marketing than we currently spend in order to maintain or increase revenue from our clients, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

If Gorilla fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing client needs, requirements or preferences, our products and services may become less competitive.

The markets for video intelligence, IoT technologies, and cybersecurity are subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, as well as changing customer needs, requirements and preferences. The success of Gorilla’s business will depend, in part, on its ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes on a timely basis. If Gorilla is unable to develop new services that satisfy our clients’ needs and provide enhancements and new features to our existing services that keep pace with rapid technological and industry changes, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If new technologies emerge and we are not able to deliver services at competitive prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete effectively.

Our platform must integrate with a variety of networks, hardware, mobile and software platforms and technologies, and Gorilla needs to continuously modify and enhance our services and products to adapt to changes and innovation in our markets. If data providers, partners or clients adopt new software platforms or infrastructures, Gorilla may be required to develop new or enhanced versions of our services or products to work with those new platforms or infrastructures. This development effort may require significant resources, which would adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Any failure of its services and products to operate effectively with evolving or new platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our services. If Gorilla is unable to respond to these changes in a cost-effective manner, our services may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The market for Gorilla’s edge AI services and products is relatively new, and may decline or experience limited growth, and our business is dependent on our clients’ continuing adoption and use our services and products..

The edge AI market is relatively new and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Gorilla has developed an edge AI and video management system, IVAR® (Intelligent Video Analytics Recorder), which is an edge AI based platform. Through IVAR®, we deliver our edge AI services to our clients, which include managed service providers, distributors, system integrators and hardware manufacturers in the healthcare, transportation, manufacturing or retail sectors, among others. Gorilla believes that our future success will significantly depend on the growth, if any, of this market and the use of our services and products, including our IVAR® real-time analytics technology.

The use of edge AI is still relatively new, and consumers may not recognize the need for or benefits of our services and products. If consumers do not recognize the need for and benefits of our services and products, then they may decide to adopt alternative services to satisfy some portion of their business needs. In order to grow our business and extend our market position, Gorilla intends to focus on educating potential customers about the benefits of our services and products, expanding the range of Gorilla’s services and bringing new technologies to market to increase market acceptance and use of our platform. Gorilla’s ability to expand the market that our services and products address depends upon a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our services and products. The market for our services and products could fail to grow significantly or there could be a reduction in demand for our services and/or products as a result of a lack of acceptance, technological challenges, competing services, a decrease in spending by current and prospective customers, weakening economic conditions and other causes. If the edge AI market does not experience significant growth, or demand for its services and/or products decreases, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The competitive position of our platforms depends, in part, on its ability to operate with third-party products and services, and if we are not successful in maintaining and expanding the compatibility of our platforms with such third-party products and services, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

The competitive position of our platforms depends, in part, on their ability to operate with products and services of third parties, software services, and infrastructure, including but not limited to, in connection with our sales relationships, platform partnerships, strategic alliances, and other similar arrangements, where applicable. As such, we must continuously modify and enhance our platforms to adapt to changes in, or to be integrated or otherwise compatible with, hardware, software, networking, browser, and database technologies. In the future, one or more technology companies may choose not to support the operation of their hardware, software, or infrastructure, or

31

Table of Contents

our platforms may not support the capabilities needed to operate with such hardware, software, or infrastructure. In addition, to the extent that a third-party was to develop software or services that compete with ours, that provider may choose not to support one or more of our platforms. We intend to facilitate the compatibility of our platforms with various third-party hardware, software, and infrastructure by maintaining and expanding our business and technical relationships. If we are not successful in achieving this goal, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Gorilla partners with industry leading technology companies to provide end-to-end solutions for different verticals. If Gorilla is unable to develop and expand its relationships with such companies, then Gorilla’s business financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Gorilla believes that our continued growth depends, in part, upon developing and expanding strategic relationships with technology companies from cloud infrastructure providers, telecoms, chipset vendors, and storage manufacturers. An important aspect of our business is that our edge AI harmonizes with a potential client’s existing IT infrastructure, which often utilizes hardware manufactured or software created by other technology companies.

If Gorilla fails to develop or expand relationships with other technology companies, Gorilla will be unable to grow its business and meet its customers’ needs, which would adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our platforms are complex and may have a lengthy implementation process, and any failure of our platforms to satisfy our customers or perform as desired could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our platforms and services are complex and are deployed in a wide variety of network environments. Implementing our platforms can be a complex and lengthy process since we often configure our existing platforms for a customer’s unique environment. Inability to meet the unique needs of our customers may result in customer dissatisfaction and/or damage to our reputation, which could materially harm our business. Further, the proper use of our platforms may require training of the customer and the initial or ongoing services of our technical personnel as well as operations and maintenance services over the contract term. If training and/or ongoing services require more of our expenditures than we originally estimated, our margins will be lower than projected.

In addition, if our customers do not use our platforms correctly or as intended, inadequate performance or outcomes may result. It is possible that our platforms may also be intentionally misused or abused by customers or their employees or third parties who obtain access and use of our platforms. Similarly, our platforms sometimes used by customers with smaller or less sophisticated IT departments, potentially resulting in sub-optimal performance at a level lower than anticipated by the customer. Because our customers rely on our platforms and services to address important business goals and challenges, the incorrect or improper use or configuration of our platforms and operations and maintenance services, failure to properly train customers on how to efficiently and effectively use our platforms, or failure to properly provide implementation or analytical or maintenance services to our customers may result in contract terminations or non-renewals, reduced customer payments, negative publicity, or legal claims against us. For example, as we continue to expand our customer base, any failure by us to properly provide these services may result in lost opportunities for follow-on expansion sales of our platforms and services.

Furthermore, if customer personnel are not well trained in the use of our platforms, customers may defer the deployment of our platforms and services, may deploy them in a more limited manner than originally anticipated, or may not deploy them at all. If there is substantial turnover of Gorilla or customer personnel responsible for procurement and use of our platforms, our platforms may go unused or be adopted less broadly, and our ability to make additional sales may be substantially limited, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Any failure to offer high quality customer support to our clients may adversely affect Gorilla’s relationships with its clients and prospective clients, and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of Gorilla’s clients depend on our customer support team to assist them with implementing our services effectively, resolving post-implementation issues quickly, and providing ongoing technology support. If Gorilla does not devote sufficient resources to customer support services, or is otherwise unsuccessful in assisting its clients effectively, it could adversely affect our ability to retain existing clients and our reputation, which could prevent prospective clients from adopting our services and products.

Gorilla may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in demand for customer support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of its customer support to compete with changes in the support services provided by our competitors. Increased demand for customer support could increase costs, and without corresponding revenue, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Gorilla’s revenues are highly dependent on its business reputation. Any failure to maintain high quality customer support, or a market perception that it does not maintain high quality customer support, could erode customer trust and adversely affect its reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face intense competition in our markets, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.

The markets for our platforms are very competitive, and we expect such competition to continue or increase in the future. A significant number of companies are developing products that currently, or in the future may, compete with some or all aspects of our proprietary platforms. We may not be successful in convincing the management teams of our potential customers to deploy our platforms in lieu of existing software solutions or in-house software development projects often favored by internal IT departments or other competitive products and services. In addition, our competitors include large enterprise software companies, government contractors, and system integrators, and we may face competition from emerging companies as well as established companies who have not previously entered this market. Additionally, we may be required to make substantial additional investments in our research, development, services, marketing, and sales functions in order to respond to competition, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future.

Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages such as:

• Greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and larger customer bases;

• Larger sales and marketing budgets and resources and the capacity to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products;

• Broader, deeper, or otherwise more established relationships with technology, channel and distribution partners, and customers;

• Wider geographic presence or greater access to larger potential customer bases;

• Greater focus in specific geographies;

• Lower labor and research and development costs;

• Larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios; and

• Substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources to provide services, to make acquisitions, and to develop and introduce new products and capabilities.

In addition, some of our larger competitors have substantially broader and more diverse product and service offerings and may be able to leverage their relationships with distribution partners and customers based on other products or incorporate functionality into existing products to gain business in a manner that discourages customers from purchasing our platforms, including by selling at zero or negative margins, product bundling, or offering closed technology platforms. Potential customers may also prefer to purchase from their existing provider rather than a new provider regardless of platform performance or features. As a result, even if the features of our platforms offer advantages that others do not, customers may not purchase our platforms. These larger competitors often have broader product lines and market focus or greater resources and may therefore not be as susceptible to economic downturns or other significant reductions in capital spending by customers. If we are unable to sufficiently differentiate our platforms from the integrated or bundled products of our competitors, such as by offering enhanced functionality, performance, or value, we may see a decrease in demand for those platforms, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, new, innovative start-up companies and larger companies that are making significant investments in research and development may introduce products that have greater performance or functionality, are easier to implement or use, incorporate technological advances that we have not yet developed, or implemented or may

Table of Contents

invent similar or superior platforms and technologies that compete with our platforms. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources.

Some of our competitors have made or could make acquisitions of businesses that allow them to offer more competitive and comprehensive solutions. As a result of such acquisitions, our current or potential competitors may be able to accelerate the adoption of new technologies that better address customer needs, devote greater resources to bring these products and services to market, initiate or withstand substantial price competition, or develop and expand their product and service offerings more quickly than we do. These competitive pressures in our market, or our failure to compete effectively, may result in fewer orders, reduced revenue and margins, and loss of market share. In addition, it is possible that industry consolidation may impact customers’ perceptions of the viability of smaller or even mid-size software firms and consequently customers’ willingness to purchase from such firms.

We may not compete successfully against our current or potential competitors. If we are unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires us to take costly actions in response to the actions of our competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, companies competing with us may have an entirely different pricing or distribution model. Increased competition could result in fewer customer orders, price reductions, reduced margins, and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

Our reputation and business may be harmed by news or social media coverage of Gorilla, including, but not limited to, coverage that presents, or relies on, inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise damaging information.

Publicly available information regarding Gorilla has historically been limited, in part due to the sensitivity of our work with customers or contractual requirements limiting or preventing public disclosure of certain aspects of our work or relationships with certain customers. As our business has grown and as interest in Gorilla and the technology industry overall has increased, we may attract significant attention from news and social media outlets, including unfavorable coverage and coverage, that is not directly attributable to statements authorized by our leadership, that incorrectly reports on statements made by our leadership or employees and the nature of our work, perpetuates unfounded speculation about company involvements, or that is otherwise misleading. If such news or social media coverage presents, or relies on, inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise damaging information regarding Gorilla, such coverage could damage our reputation in the industry and with current and potential customers, employees, and investors, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects could be adversely affected. Due to the sensitive nature of our work and our confidentiality obligations and despite our ongoing efforts to provide increased transparency into our business, operations, and product capabilities, we may be unable to or limited in our ability to respond to such harmful coverage, which could have a negative impact on our business.

Our relationships with government customers and customers that are engaged in certain sensitive industries, including organizations whose products or activities are or are perceived to be harmful, could result in public criticism, including from political and social activists, and unfavorable coverage in the media. Activist criticism of our relationships with customers could potentially engender dissatisfaction among potential and existing customers, investors, and employees with how we address political and social concerns in our business activities. Conversely, being perceived as yielding to activism targeted at certain customers could damage our relationships with certain customers, including governments and government agencies with which we do business, whose views may or may not be aligned with those of political and social activists. Actions we take in response to the activities of our customers, up to and including terminating our contracts or refusing a particular product use case could harm our brand and reputation. In either case, the resulting harm to our reputation could:

• cause certain customers to cease doing business with us;

• impair our ability to attract new customers, or to expand our relationships with existing customers;

• diminish our ability to hire or retain employees;

• undermine our standing in professional communities to which we contribute and from which we receive expert knowledge; or

• prompt us to cease doing business with certain customers.

Any of these factors could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not enter into relationships with potential customers if we consider their activities to be inconsistent with our organizational mission or values.

We generally do not enter into business with customers or governments whose positions or actions we consider inconsistent with our mission to support Western liberal democracy and its strategic allies. Our decisions to not enter into these relationships may not produce the long-term financial benefits and results that we expect, in which case our growth prospects, business, and results of operations could be harmed. Although we endeavor to do business with customers and governments that are aligned with our mission and values, we cannot predict how the activities and values of our government and private sector customers will evolve over time, and they may evolve in a manner inconsistent with our mission.

We do not work with the Chinese communist party and have chosen not to host our platforms in China, which may limit our growth prospects.

Our leadership believes that working with the Chinese communist party is inconsistent with our culture and mission. We do not consider any sales opportunities with the Chinese communist party, do not host our platforms in China, and impose limitations on access to our platforms in China in order to protect our intellectual property, to promote respect for and defend privacy and civil liberties protections, and to promote data security. Our decision to avoid this large potential market may limit our growth prospects and could adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and we may not compete successfully against our current or potential competitors who choose to work in China.

Gorilla expects its results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which could cause the share price of the combined company to fluctuate or decline.

Gorilla’s quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may vary significantly in the future. As such, historical comparisons of its operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Gorilla’s quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of Gorilla’s business. These fluctuations could adversely affect Gorilla’s ability to meet its expectations or those of securities analysts or investors. If Gorilla does not meet these expectations for any period, the value of its business and its securities, or those of the combined company, could decline significantly. Factors that may cause these quarterly fluctuations include, without limitation, those listed below:

• The timing of revenues generated in any quarter;

• Pricing changes Gorilla may adopt to drive market adoption or in response to competitive pressure; Gorilla’s ability to retain its existing customers and attract new customers;

• Gorilla’s ability to develop, introduce and sell services and products in a timely manner that meet customer requirements;

• Disruptions in Gorilla’s sales channels or termination of its relationship with partners;

• Delays in customers’ purchasing cycles or deferments of customers’ purchases in anticipation of new services or updates from Gorilla or its competitors;

• Fluctuations in demand pressures for Gorilla’s products;

• The mix of services sold in any quarter;

• The duration of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the time it takes for economic recovery;

• The timing and rate of broader market adoption of Gorilla’s data service platform;

• Market acceptance of Gorilla’s services and further technological advancements by Gorilla’s competitors and other market participants;

35

Table of Contents

• Any change in the competitive dynamics of Gorilla’s markets, including consolidation of competitors, regulatory developments and new market entrants;

• Changes in the source, cost, availability of and regulations pertaining to materials Gorilla uses;

• Adverse litigation, judgments, settlements or other litigation-related costs, or claims that may give rise to such costs; and

• General economic, industry and market conditions, including trade disputes.

The ongoing global COVID-19 outbreak has significantly affected the growth of our business and operations.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease that it causes has evolved into a global pandemic. In light of the uncertain and rapidly evolving situation relating to the spread of COVID-19, we have taken precautionary measures intended to minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, our customers, and the communities in which we operate, including temporarily closing our offices worldwide and virtualizing, postponing, or cancelling customer, employee, or industry events, which may negatively impact our business. While the COVID-19 pandemic has provided certain new opportunities for our business to expand, it has also created many negative headwinds that present risks to our business and results of operations. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has generally disrupted the operations of our customers and prospective customers, and may continue to disrupt their operations, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns, uncertainty in the financial markets or other harm to their business and financial results, which could result in a reduction to information technology budgets, delayed purchasing decisions, longer sales cycles, extended payment terms, the timing of payments, and postponed or cancelled projects, all of which would negatively impact our business and operating results, including sales and cash flows. We do not yet know the net impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and cannot guarantee that it will not be materially negative. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies as more information and public health guidance become available, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and/or the precautionary measures that we have adopted may create operational and other challenges, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

Historically, a significant portion of our field sales, operations and maintenance, and professional services have been conducted in person. Currently, as a result of the work and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the precautionary measures that we have adopted, substantially all of our field sales and professional services activities are being conducted remotely, which has resulted in a decrease in our travel and office expenditures. However, we expect our travel expenditures to increase in the future, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. We do not yet know the extent of the negative impact of such restrictions and precautionary measures on our ability to attract new customers or retain and expand our relationships with existing customers.

In addition, COVID-19 may disrupt the operations of our customers and partners for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not requiring employees who are able to work remotely to come into the office through at least from May 17, 2021 to July 27, 2021. It is possible that widespread remote work arrangements may have a negative impact on our operations; the execution of our business plans; our ability to recruit, train, manage, and retain employees; the productivity and availability of key personnel and other employees necessary to conduct our business; and on third-party service providers who perform critical services for us, or otherwise cause operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the outbreak and related governmental actions. If a natural disaster, power outage, connectivity issue, or other event occurred that impacted our employees’ ability to work remotely, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible, for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time. The increase in remote working may also result in increased consumer privacy, data security, and fraud risks, and our understanding of applicable legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the latest guidance from regulatory authorities in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, may be subject to legal or regulatory challenge, particularly as regulatory guidance evolves in response to future developments.

More generally, the COVID-19 pandemic has and is expected to continue to adversely affect economies and financial markets globally, leading to a continued economic downturn, which is expected to decrease technology spending generally and could adversely affect demand for our platforms and services. It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, as the impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Moreover, to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, including but not limited to, those related to our ability to increase sales to existing and new customers, continue to perform on existing contracts, develop and deploy new technologies, expand our marketing capabilities and sales organization, generate sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness, and comply with the covenants in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.

Risks Related to Gorilla’s Intellectual Property, Information Technology, Data Privacy and Security

Gorilla may not be able to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights or prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering its solutions. Gorilla’s efforts to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights and prevent third parties from violating its rights may be costly.

The success of Gorilla’s services and its business depends, in part, on Gorilla’s ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property rights and maintain adequate legal protection for its products in the United States and other international jurisdictions. Gorilla relies on a combination of patent, copyright, service mark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual obligations, to establish and protect its proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. Gorilla cannot assure you that any patents will be issued with respect to its currently pending patent applications, including in a manner that gives Gorilla adequate defensive protection or competitive advantages, if at all, or that any of Gorilla’s patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Gorilla has filed for patents in the United States and in certain international jurisdictions, but such protections may not be available or applied for in all countries in which it operates or in which Gorilla seeks to enforce its intellectual property rights or may be difficult to enforce in practice. Gorilla cannot be certain that the steps it has taken will prevent unauthorized use of its technology or the reverse engineering of its technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to Gorilla or infringe Gorilla’s intellectual property.

Protecting against the unauthorized use of Gorilla’s intellectual property, products and other proprietary rights is expensive and can be difficult, particularly with respect to international jurisdictions. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or reverse engineer Gorilla’s solutions or certain aspects of Gorilla’s solutions that are considered proprietary. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend Gorilla’s intellectual property rights, to prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering its solutions, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to block the importation of infringing products into the U.S. Any such litigation, regardless of merit, could be costly, divert the attention of management and may not ultimately be resolved in Gorilla’s favor.

Effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or applied for in every country in which Gorilla’s products are available and competitors based in other countries may sell infringing products in one or more markets. An inability to adequately protect and enforce Gorilla’s intellectual property and other proprietary rights or an inability to prevent authorized parties from copying or reverse engineering its smart vision solutions or certain aspects of its solutions that Gorilla considers proprietary could adversely affect its business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

In addition to patented technology, Gorilla relies on its unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, processes and know-how.

Gorilla relies on proprietary information (such as trade secrets, know-how and confidential information) to protect intellectual property that may not be patentable or subject to copyright, trademark, trade dress or service mark protection, or that Gorilla believes is best protected by means that do not require public disclosure.

37

Table of Contents

Gorilla generally seeks to protect this proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements, or consulting, services or employment agreements that contain non-disclosure and non-use provisions with its employees, consultants, contractors and third parties. However, Gorilla may fail to enter into the necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party infringement or misappropriation of its proprietary information, may be limited as to their term and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. Gorilla has limited control over the protection of trade secrets used by its current or future manufacturing partners and suppliers and could lose future trade secret protection if any unauthorized disclosure of such information occurs. In addition, Gorilla’s proprietary information may otherwise become known or be independently developed by its competitors or other third parties. To the extent that its employees, consultants, contractors, advisors and other third parties use intellectual property owned by others in their work for Gorilla, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of Gorilla’s proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection for its proprietary information could adversely affect its competitive business position. Furthermore, laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets where Gorilla operates may afford limited or no protection for its trade secrets.

Gorilla also relies on physical and electronic security measures to protect its proprietary information, but it cannot provide assurance that these security measures will not be breached or that these measures will provide adequate protection. There is a risk that third parties may obtain and improperly utilize Gorilla’s proprietary information to its competitive disadvantage. Gorilla may not be able to detect or prevent the unauthorized use of such information or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce its intellectual property rights.

Third-party claims that Gorilla is infringing intellectual property, whether successful or not, could subject it to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses, and its business could be adversely affected.

Although Gorilla has pending patents related to its products, a number of companies, both within and outside of the Gorilla’s industry, hold other patents covering systems and methods. In addition to these patents, participants in this industry typically also protect their technology, especially embedded software, through copyrights and trade secrets. As a result, there is frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights. Gorilla may receive, in the future, inquiries from other intellectual property holders and may become subject to claims that it infringes their intellectual property rights, particularly as Gorilla expands its presence in the market. In addition, third parties may claim that the names and branding of Gorilla’s products infringe their trademark rights in certain countries or territories. If such a claim were to prevail, Gorilla may be liable for damages, be forced to change the branding of its products in the affected territories, or may be required to pay royalties for a license (if a license is available at all).

Gorilla currently has a number of agreements in effect pursuant to which it has agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless its customers, suppliers, and partners from damages and costs which may arise from the infringement by Gorilla’s products of third-party patents or other intellectual property rights. The scope of these indemnity obligations varies, but may, in some instances, include indemnification for damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. Gorilla’s insurance may not cover all intellectual property infringement claims. A claim that its products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, even if without merit, could adversely affect Gorilla’s relationships with its customers, may deter future customers from purchasing its products and could expose Gorilla to costly litigation and settlement expenses. Even if Gorilla is not a party to any litigation between a customer and a third party relating to infringement by its products, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for Gorilla to defend its products against intellectual property infringement claims in any subsequent litigation in which it is a named party. Any of these results could adversely affect Gorilla’s brand and operating results.

Gorilla’s defense of intellectual property rights claims brought against it or its customers, suppliers and channel partners, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle, divert management resources and attention and force Gorilla to acquire intellectual property rights or licenses, which may involve substantial royalty or other payments and may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Further, a party making such a claim, if successful, could secure a judgment that requires Gorilla to pay substantial damages or obtain an injunction. An adverse determination also could invalidate Gorilla’s intellectual property rights and adversely affect its ability to offer its products to its customers and may require that Gorilla procure or develop substitute products that do not infringe, which could require significant effort and expense. Any of these events could adversely affect Gorilla’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

If any of the systems of any third parties upon which we rely, our customers’ cloud or on-premises environments, or our internal systems, are breached or if unauthorized access to customer or third-party data is otherwise obtained, public perception of our platforms and operations and maintenance services may be harmed, and we may lose business and incur losses or liabilities.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to provide effective data security protection in connection with our platforms and services, and we rely on information technology networks and systems to securely store, transmit, index, and otherwise process electronic information. Because our platforms and services are used by our customers to store, transmit, index, or otherwise process and analyze large data sets that often contain proprietary, confidential, and/or sensitive information (including in some instances personal or identifying information), our software is perceived as an attractive target for attacks by computer hackers or others seeking unauthorized access, and our software faces threats of unintended exposure, exfiltration, alteration, deletion, or loss of data. Additionally, because many of our customers use our platforms to store, transmit, and otherwise process proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information, and complete mission critical tasks, they have a lower risk tolerance for security vulnerabilities in our platforms and services than for vulnerabilities in other, less critical, software products and services.

We, and the third-party vendors upon which we rely, have experienced, and may in the future experience, cybersecurity threats, including threats or attempts to disrupt our information technology infrastructure and unauthorized attempts to gain access to sensitive or confidential information. Our and our third-party vendors’ technology systems may be damaged or compromised by malicious events, such as cyberattacks (including computer viruses, malicious and destructive code, phishing attacks, and denial of service attacks), physical or electronic security breaches, natural disasters, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures, personnel misconduct, and human error. Such attacks or security breaches may be perpetrated by internal bad actors, such as employees or contractors, or by third parties (including traditional computer hackers, persons involved with organized crime, or foreign state or foreign state-supported actors). Cybersecurity threats can employ a wide variety of methods and techniques, which may include the use of social engineering techniques, are constantly evolving, and have become increasingly complex and sophisticated; all of which increase the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until after they are launched against a target, we and our third-party vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. Although prior cyberattacks directed at us have not had a material impact on our financial results, and we are continuing to bolster our threat detection and mitigation processes and procedures, we cannot guarantee that future cyberattacks, if successful, will not have a material impact on our business or financial results. While we have security measures in place to protect our information and our customers’ information and to prevent data loss and other security breaches, we have not always been able to do so and there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to anticipate or prevent security breaches or unauthorized access of our information technology systems or the information technology systems of the third-party vendors upon which we rely. Despite our implementation of network security measures and internal information security policies, data stored on personnel computer systems is also vulnerable to similar security breaches, unauthorized tampering or human error.

Many governments have enacted laws requiring companies to provide notice of data security incidents involving certain types of data, including personal data. In addition, most of our customers, including U.S. government customers, contractually require us to notify them of data security breaches. If an actual or perceived breach of security measures, unauthorized access to our system or the systems of the third-party vendors that we rely upon, or any other cybersecurity threat occurs, we may face direct or indirect liability, costs, or damages, contract termination, our reputation in the industry and with current and potential customers may be compromised, our ability to attract new customers could be negatively affected, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Further, unauthorized access to our or our third-party vendors’ information technology systems or data or other security breaches could result in the loss of information; significant remediation costs; litigation, disputes, regulatory action, or investigations that could result in damages, material fines, and penalties; indemnity obligations; interruptions in the operation of our business, including our ability to provide new product features, new platforms, or services to our customers; damage to our operation technology networks and information technology systems; and other liabilities. Moreover, our remediation efforts may not be successful. Any or all of these issues, or the perception that any of them have occurred, could negatively affect our ability to attract new customers, cause existing

39

Table of Contents

customers to terminate or not renew their agreements, hinder our ability to obtain and maintain required or desirable cybersecurity certifications, and result in reputational damage, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects. There can be no assurance that any limitations of liability provisions in our license arrangements with customers or in our agreements with vendors, partners, or others would be enforceable, applicable, or adequate or would otherwise protect us from any such liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim.

We maintain cybersecurity insurance and other types of insurance, subject to applicable deductibles and policy limits, but our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all costs associated with a potential data security incident. We also cannot be sure that our existing general liability insurance coverage and coverage for cyber liability or errors or omissions will continue to be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could harm our financial condition.

Issues in the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) (including machine learning) in our platforms may result in reputational harm or liability.

AI is enabled by or integrated into many of our platforms and is a significant and potentially growing element of our business. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient, of poor quality, or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. If the recommendations, forecasts, or analyses that AI applications assist in producing are deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. For example, Article 22 of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (further described later in this document) states that data subjects “shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.” The use of AI can be categorized as automated individual decision making. Further, some AI scenarios present ethical issues. Though our technologies and business practices are designed to mitigate many of these risks, if we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their purported or real impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm.

We depend on computing infrastructure operated by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), and other third parties to support some of our customers and any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in their or our operational infrastructure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We rely on the technology, infrastructure, and software applications, including software-as-a-service offerings, of certain third parties, such as AWS, in order to host or operate some or all of certain key platform features or functions of our business, including our cloud-based services (including IVAR®), customer relationship management activities, billing and order management, and financial accounting services. Additionally, we rely on computer hardware purchased in order to deliver our platforms and services. We do not have control over the operations of the facilities of the third parties that we use. If any of these third-party services experience errors, disruptions, security issues, or other performance deficiencies, if they are updated such that our platforms become incompatible, if these services, software, or hardware fail or become unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, defects, or otherwise, or if they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices (or at all), these issues could result in errors or defects in our platforms, cause our platforms to fail, our revenue and margins could decline, or our reputation and brand to be damaged, we could be exposed to legal or contractual liability, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage our operations could be interrupted, and our processes for managing our sales and servicing our customers could be impaired until equivalent services or technology, if available, are identified, procured, and implemented, all of which may take significant time and resources, increase our costs, and could adversely affect our business. Many of these third-party providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, disruptions, defects, performance deficiencies, or failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our customers or third-party providers.

40

Table of Contents

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, failures, data loss, outages, and other performance problems with our infrastructure and cloud-based offerings due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, employee misconduct, capacity constraints, denial of service attacks, phishing attacks, computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, or other security-related incidents, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all situations. If we experience disruptions, failures, data loss, outages, or other performance problems, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our systems and the third-party systems upon which we and our customers rely are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, cybersecurity threats, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical and similar events, or acts of misconduct. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster or other unanticipated problems at our or our third-party vendors’ hosting facilities, or within our systems or the systems of third parties upon which we rely, could result in interruptions, performance problems, or failure of our infrastructure, technology, or platforms, which may adversely impact our business. In addition, our ability to conduct normal business operations could be severely affected. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these facilities, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our services, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. In addition, any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand and adversely affect our business.

Furthermore, our platforms are in many cases important or essential to our customers’ operations, including in some cases, their cybersecurity or oversight and compliance programs, and subject to service level agreements (“SLAs”). Any interruption in our service, whether as a result of an internal or third-party issue, could damage our brand and reputation, cause our customers to terminate or not renew their contracts with us or decrease use of our platforms and services, require us to indemnify our customers against certain losses, result in our issuing credit or paying penalties or fines, subject us to other losses or liabilities, cause our platforms to be perceived as unreliable or unsecure, and prevent us from gaining new or additional business from current or future customers, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Moreover, to the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. The provisioning of additional cloud hosting capacity requires lead time. AWS and other third parties have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If AWS or other third parties increase pricing terms, terminate or seek to terminate our contractual relationship, establish more favorable relationships with our competitors, or change or interpret their terms of service or policies in a manner that is unfavorable with respect to us, we may be required to transfer to other cloud providers or invest in a private cloud. If we are required to transfer to other cloud providers or invest in a private cloud, we could incur significant costs and experience possible service interruption in connection with doing so, or risk loss of customer contracts if they are unwilling to accept such a change.

A failure to maintain our relationships with our third-party providers (or obtain adequate replacements), and to receive services from such providers that do not contain any material errors or defects, could adversely affect our ability to deliver effective products and solutions to our customers and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our policies regarding customer confidential information and support for individual privacy and civil liberties could cause us to experience adverse business and reputational consequences.

We strive to protect our customers’ confidential information and individuals’ privacy consistent with applicable laws, directives, and regulations. Consequently, we do not provide information about our customers to third parties without legal process. From time to time, government entities may seek our assistance with obtaining information about our customers or could request that we modify our platforms in a manner to permit access or monitoring. In light of our confidentiality and privacy commitments, we may legally challenge law enforcement or other government requests to provide information, to obtain encryption keys, or to modify or weaken encryption. To the extent that we do not provide assistance to or comply with requests from government entities, or if we challenge those requests publicly or

41

Table of Contents

in court, we may experience adverse political, regulatory, legal, business, and reputational consequences, including among certain customers or portions of the public. Conversely, to the extent that we do provide such assistance, or do not challenge those requests publicly in court, we may experience adverse political, business, and reputational consequences from other customers or portions of the public arising from concerns over privacy or the government’s activities.

Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could adversely affect our business.

Our success and ability to compete depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under a combination of patent and other intellectual property and proprietary rights in Taiwan, the United States and other jurisdictions so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information and technology. Despite our efforts, third parties may attempt to disclose, obtain, copy, or use our intellectual property or other proprietary information or technology without our authorization, and our efforts to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may not prevent such unauthorized disclosure or use, misappropriation, infringement, reverse engineering or other violation of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Effective protection of our rights may not be available to us or applied for in every country in which our platforms or services are available. The laws of some countries may not be as protective of intellectual property and other proprietary rights as those in Taiwan and the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property and other proprietary rights may be inadequate. Also, our involvement in standard setting activity or the need to obtain licenses from others may require us to license our intellectual property. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property or other proprietary information or technology.

In addition, we may be the subject of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, which could be very time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate and could divert our management’s attention and other resources. These claims could also subject us to significant liability for damages if we are found to have infringed patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, or breached trademark co-existence agreements or other intellectual property licenses and could require us to cease using or to rebrand all or portions of our platforms. Any of our patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation.

While we have issued patents and patent applications pending, we may be unable to obtain patent protection for the technology covered in our patent applications or such patent protection may not be obtained quickly enough to meet our business needs. Furthermore, the patent prosecution process is expensive, time-consuming, and complex, and we may not be able to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain, and enforce all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. The scope of patent protection also can be reinterpreted after issuance and issued patents may be invalidated. Even if our patent applications do issue as patents, they may not issue in a form that is sufficiently broad to protect our technology, prevent competitors or other third parties form competing with us or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage.

In addition, any of our patents, copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, held unenforceable, or circumvented in litigation or other proceedings, including, where applicable, opposition, re-examination, inter partes review, post-grant review, interference, nullification and derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, and such intellectual property or other proprietary rights may be lost or no longer provide us meaningful competitive advantages. Such proceedings may result in substantial cost and require significant time from our management, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us. Third parties also may legitimately and independently develop products, services, and technology similar to or duplicative of our platforms. In addition to protection under intellectual property laws, we rely on confidentiality or license agreements that we generally enter into with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, advisors, vendors, and customers, and generally limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, we cannot be certain that we have entered into such agreements with all parties who may have or have had access to our confidential information or that the agreements we have entered into will not be breached or challenged, or that such breaches will be detected. Furthermore, non-disclosure provisions can be difficult to enforce, and even if successfully enforced, may not be entirely effective. We cannot guarantee that any of the

42

Table of Contents

measures we have taken will prevent infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of our technology or other intellectual property or proprietary rights. Because we may be an attractive target for cyberattacks, we also may have a heightened risk of unauthorized access to, and misappropriation of, our proprietary and competitively sensitive information. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, and we may conclude that in at least some instances the benefits of protecting our intellectual property or other proprietary rights may be outweighed by the expense or distraction to our management. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Any such litigation, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, could be time-consuming, result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. Furthermore, attempts to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties could also provoke these third parties to assert their own intellectual property or other rights against us, or result in a holding that invalidates or narrows the scope of our rights, in whole or in part.

We have been, and may in the future be, subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.

Our success and ability to compete also depends, in part, on our ability to operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Companies in the software and technology industries, including some of our current and potential competitors, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently pursue litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, many of these companies have the capability to dedicate substantial resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. Such litigation also may involve non-practicing patent assertion entities or companies who use their patents as a means to extract license fees by threatening costly litigation or that have minimal operations or relevant product revenue and against whom our patents may provide little or no deterrence or protection. We have received notices, and may continue to receive notices in the future, that claim we have infringed, misappropriated, misused or otherwise violated other parties’ intellectual property rights, and, to the extent we become exposed to greater visibility, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claims, which is not uncommon with respect to software technologies in particular. There may be third-party intellectual property rights, including issued patents or pending patent applications that cover significant aspects of our technologies, or business methods. There may also be third-party intellectual property rights, including trademark registrations and pending applications that cover the goods and services that we offer in certain regions. We may also be exposed to increased risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation claims as a result of acquisitions and our incorporation of open source and other third-party software into, or new branding for, our platforms, as, among other things, we have a lower level of visibility into the development process with respect to such technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement, misappropriation, or other violation risks. In addition, former employers of our current, former, or future employees may assert claims that such employees have improperly disclosed to us confidential or proprietary information of these former employers. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, are difficult to predict, could be very time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate, could divert our management’s attention and other resources, and may not be covered by the insurance that we carry. These claims could subject us to significant liability for damages, potentially including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. These claims could also result in our having to stop using technology, branding or marks found to be in violation of a third party’s rights and any necessary rebranding could result in the loss of goodwill. We could be required to seek a license for the intellectual property, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if a license were available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our expenses. As a result, we could be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, branding or marks, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license rights or develop technology for any infringing aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of one or more of our platforms or features, we could lose existing customers, and we may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Further, our agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification provisions under which we agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights, damages caused by us to property

43

Table of Contents

or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our platforms, services, or other contractual obligations. Large indemnity payments could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other existing customers and new customers and harm our business and results of operations.

Real or perceived errors, failures, defects or bugs in our platforms could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

Because we offer very complex platforms, undetected errors, defects, failures or bugs may occur, especially when platforms or capabilities are first introduced or when new versions or other product or infrastructure updates are released. Our platforms are often installed and used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, software products and equipment, and data source and network configurations, which may cause errors or failures in our platforms or may expose undetected errors, failures, or bugs in our platforms. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, or bugs may not be found in new software or releases until after commencement of commercial shipments. In the past, errors have affected the performance of our platforms and can also delay the development or release of new platforms or capabilities or new versions of platforms, adversely affect our reputation and our customers’ willingness to buy platforms from us, and adversely affect market acceptance or perception of our platforms. Many of our customers use our platforms in applications that are critical to their businesses or missions and may have a lower risk tolerance to defects in our platforms than to defects in other, less critical, software products. Any errors or delays in releasing new software or new versions of platforms or allegations of unsatisfactory performance or errors, defects or failures in released software could cause us to lose revenue or market share, increase our service costs, cause us to incur substantial costs in redesigning the software, cause us to lose significant customers, subject us to liability for damages and divert our resources from other tasks, any one of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our platforms could be perceived to be ineffective for a variety of reasons outside of our control. Hackers or other malicious parties could circumvent our or our customers’ security measures, and customers may misuse our platforms resulting in a security breach or perceived product failure.

Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our platforms and services, or dissatisfaction with our services and outcomes, could result in customer terminations and/or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or we may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct any such errors, failures, or bugs. Although we have limitation of liability provisions in our standard software licensing and service agreement terms and conditions, these provisions may not be enforceable in some circumstances, may vary in levels of protection across our agreements, or may not fully or effectively protect us from such claims and related liabilities and costs. We generally provide a warranty for our software products and services and a service level agreement for our performance of software operations via our operations and maintenance services to customers. In the event that there is a failure of warranties in such agreements, we are generally obligated to correct the product or service to conform to the warranty provision as set forth in the applicable service level agreement, or, if we are unable to do so, the customer is entitled to seek a refund of the purchase price of the product and service (generally prorated over the contract term). The sale and support of our products also entail the risk of product liability claims. We maintain insurance to protect against certain claims associated with the use of our products, but our insurance coverage may not adequately cover any claim asserted against us. In addition, even claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in our expenditure of funds in litigation and divert management’s time and other resources.

In addition, our platforms integrate a wide variety of other elements, and our platforms must successfully interoperate with products from other vendors and our customers’ internally developed software. As a result, when problems occur for a customer using our platforms, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems, and we may receive blame for a security, access control, or other compliance breach that was the result of the failure of one of other elements in a customer’s or another vendor’s IT, security, or compliance infrastructure. The occurrence of software or errors in data, whether or not caused by our platforms, could delay or reduce market acceptance of our platforms and have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance, and any necessary revisions may cause us to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any such problems could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If an actual or perceived breach of information correctness, auditability, integrity, or availability occurs in one of our customers’ systems, regardless of whether the breach is attributable

44

Table of Contents

to our platforms, the market perception of the effectiveness of our platforms could be harmed. Alleviating any of these problems could require additional significant expenditures of our capital and other resources and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product licensing, which could cause us to lose existing or potential customers and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

The mishandling or even the perception of mishandling of sensitive information could harm Gorilla’s business.

Gorilla’s products are in some cases used by customers to compile and analyze highly sensitive or confidential information and data, including, in some cases, information or data used in intelligence gathering or law enforcement activities. Gorilla or its partners may receive or come into contact with customer’s sensitive or confidential information or data, including personally identifiable information, when Gorilla is asked to perform services or support functions for its customers. Gorilla or its partners may also receive or come into contact with such information in connection with Gorilla’s SaaS or other hosted or managed services offerings. Gorilla has implemented policies and procedures and use information technology systems to help ensure the proper handling of such information and data, including background screening of certain services personnel, non-disclosure agreements with employees and partners, access rules and controls on Gorilla’s information technology systems. Customers are also increasingly focused on the security of Gorilla’s products and Gorilla works to ensure their security, including through the use of encryption, access rights and other customary security features. However, these measures are designed to mitigate the risks associated with handling or processing sensitive data and cannot safeguard against all risks at all times. The improper handling of sensitive data, or even the perception of such mishandling (whether or not valid), or other security lapses by Gorilla or its partners or within Gorilla’s products, could reduce demand for Gorilla’s products or otherwise expose it to financial or reputational harm or legal liability.

Legal and Regulatory Risks Related to Gorilla’s Business

Gorilla’s operations and platform are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection and information security, and its data consumers may be subject to regulations related to the handling and transfer of certain types of sensitive and confidential information. Any failure of Gorilla’s platform and operations to comply with or enable data consumers to comply with applicable laws and regulations would harm its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Privacy is at the core of Gorilla’s technology. As a result, the platform and marketplace were designed to take into consideration the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Gorilla has and continues to invest time and resources, including the review of its technology and systems to ensure its taking into consideration the requirements of applicable data privacy laws.

Gorilla and its data providers and data consumers may be subject to privacy and data protection-related laws and regulations that impose obligations in connection with the collection, processing and use of personal data. The U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, or requirements regarding, the collection, distribution, use, security and storage of personal data of individuals. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and numerous state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards on the online collection, use and dissemination of data, and to the security measures applied to such data.

Similarly, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the EU member states, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personal data obtained from EU residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction. For example, from 1 January 2021, we are subject to the GDPR and also the UK GDPR, which, together with the amended UK Data Protection Act 2018, retains the GDPR in UK national law. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of personal data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual, such as names, telephone numbers, email addresses, vehicle identification number, GPS location and, in some jurisdictions, IP addresses and other online identifiers.

For example, the GDPR, and national implementing legislation in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) member states and the United Kingdom, impose a strict data protection compliance regime including: providing detailed disclosures about how personal data is collected and processed (in a concise, intelligible and easily accessible form);

45

Table of Contents

demonstrating that an appropriate legal basis is in place or otherwise exists to justify data processing activities; granting new rights for data subjects in regard to their personal data (including the right to be “forgotten” and the right to data portability), as well as enhancing current rights (e.g., data subject access requests); introducing the obligation to notify data protection regulators or supervisory authorities (and in certain cases, affected individuals) of significant data breaches; defining for the first time pseudonymized (i.e., key-coded) data; imposing limitations on retention of personal data; maintaining a record of data processing; and complying with the principal of accountability and the obligation to demonstrate compliance through policies, procedures, training and audit.

Noncompliance with GDPR and the UK GDPR can respectively trigger fines equal to or greater of €20 million or 4% of global annual revenues. In addition to the foregoing, a breach of the GDPR or UK GDPR could result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease/ change our processing of our data, enforcement notices, and/ or assessment notices (for a compulsory audit). We may also face civil claims including representative actions and other class action type litigation (where individuals have suffered harm), potentially amounting to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm. Although Gorilla believes that its Gorilla Vehicle Data Platform currently meets the material requirements of GDPR, to the extent the requirements of GDPR change or are expanded, Gorilla may need to invest significant time and resources, including a review of its technology and systems currently in use against such changed or expanded requirements of GDPR. There are also additional EU laws and regulations (and member states implementations thereof) which govern the protection of consumers and of electronic communications. If Gorilla’s efforts to comply with GDPR or other applicable EU laws and regulations are not successful, Gorilla may be subject to penalties and fines, as well as the other action as noted above, that would adversely impact Gorilla’s business and results of operations, and its ability to conduct business in the EU could be significantly impaired.

We are also subject to European Union rules with respect to cross-border transfers of personal data out of the EEA and the United Kingdom. Recent legal developments in Europe have created complexity and compliance uncertainty regarding certain transfers of information from the EU to the United States. On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (the “CJEU”) invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. The CJEU also imposed substantial requirements upon the continued use of standard contractual clauses for data transfers from the EU to the United States. Further, the EU Commission published revised standard contractual clauses in 2021, which went into effect on June 27, 2021. Companies are required to use the revised standard contractual clauses after September 27, 2021, and must cease use of the legacy clauses by December 27, 2022. The terms of these revised standard contractual clauses may make the use of the clauses difficult or impossible to use under some circumstances. These recent developments may require us to review and amend the legal mechanisms by which we make and/ or receive personal data transfers to/ in the United States. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the standard contractual clauses cannot be used, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results. We and our customers are at risk of enforcement actions taken by European regulators until such point in time that we are able to ensure that all data transfers to the United States (and other countries deemed to be “third countries”) from the EU are legitimized.

We are also subject to evolving EU and U.K. privacy laws on cookies and e-marketing. In the EU and the U.K., regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with requirements in the online behavioral advertising ecosystem, and current national laws that implement the European Directive 2002/58/EC, (the “ePrivacy Directive”) are highly likely to be replaced by an EU regulation known as the ePrivacy Regulation which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance. In the EU and the UK, informed consent is required for the placement of a cookie or similar technologies on a user’s device and for direct electronic marketing. The GDPR also imposes conditions on obtaining valid consent, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents and a requirement to ensure separate consents are sought for each type of cookie or similar technology. While the text of the ePrivacy Regulation is still under development, a recent European court decision and regulators’ recent guidance are driving increased attention to cookies and tracking technologies. If regulators start to enforce the strict approach in recent guidance, this could lead to substantial costs, require significant systems changes, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, divert the attention of our technology personnel, adversely affect our margins, increase costs and subject us to additional liabilities. Regulation of cookies and similar technologies, and any decline of cookies or similar online tracking technologies as a means to identify and potentially target users, may lead to broader restrictions and impairments on our marketing and personalization activities and may negatively impact our efforts to understand users.

Furthermore, outside of the EU, Gorilla continues to see increased regulation of data privacy and security, including the adoption of more stringent subject matter specific state laws in the United States. For example, on July 8, 2019, Brazil enacted the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) (Law No. 13,709/2018) (“LGPD”) regulating the processing of personal data, which was enacted in August 2020. Also, on June 28, 2018, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which took effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Although Gorilla believes that its Gorilla Vehicle Data Platform currently meets the requirements of the CCPA, to the extent the requirements of CCPA change or are expanded may increase Gorilla’s compliance costs and potential liability. Some observers have noted that the CCPA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent state privacy legislation in the U.S., which could increase Gorilla’s potential liability and adversely affect its business. For example, the states of Virginia and Colorado also have passed data protection laws, similar to the CCPA, which go into effect in 2023. Furthermore, California voters approved the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) on November 3, 2020, which will amend and expand the CCPA, including by providing consumers with additional rights with respect to their personal data. The CPRA will come into effect on January 1, 2023, applying to information collected by businesses on or after January 1, 2022. Gorilla continues to invest time and resources in reviewing our technology and systems to meet the evolving data privacy regulations, be they GDPR, CCPA or others. Restrictions on the collection, use, sharing or disclosure of personal data or additional requirements and liability for security and data integrity may require us to modify our business practices, limit our ability to develop new products and features and subject us to increased compliance obligations and regulatory scrutiny.

In addition, additional jurisdictions may impose data localization laws, which require personal information, or certain subcategories of personal information to be stored in the jurisdiction of origin. These regulations may inhibit Gorilla’s ability to expand into those markets or prohibit Gorilla from continuing to offer its marketplace in those markets without significant additional costs.

The uncertainty and changes in the requirements of multiple jurisdictions may increase the cost of compliance, delay or reduce demand for Gorilla’s platform, restrict its ability to offer its marketplace in certain locations, limit its ability to transfer data between jurisdictions or subject Gorilla to sanctions, by national data protection regulators, all of which could harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such regulations may also restrict OEMs or other data providers from collecting, processing and sharing vehicle data which may adversely impact Gorilla’s business. Additionally, although Gorilla endeavors to have its platform and operations comply with applicable laws and regulations, Gorilla expects that there will continue to be new proposed laws, rules of self-regulatory bodies, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions, and Gorilla cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, rules, regulations and standards may have on its business or that of its data providers and data consumers, which may indirectly impact Gorilla. Furthermore, these and other obligations may be modified, they may be interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and they may conflict with one another, other regulatory requirements, contractual commitments or its internal practices. As a result, it is possible that Gorilla or its platform or operations or the businesses of its data providers and data consumers, may not be, or may not have been, compliant with each such applicable law, regulation and industry standard and compliance with such new laws or to changes to existing laws may impact Gorilla’s business and practices, require Gorilla to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes and modify its platform and business, or to stop offering its platform in certain countries. These developments could adversely affect Gorilla’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Gorilla also may be bound by contractual obligations relating to its collection, use and disclosure of personal and other data or may find it necessary or desirable to join industry or other self-regulatory bodies or other privacy or data protection-related organizations that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy and data protection.

Any failure or perceived failure by Gorilla, its platform or operations, or Gorilla’s data providers and data consumers, to comply with new or existing U.S., EU or other applicable privacy or data security laws, regulations, policies, industry standards or legal obligations, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, share or transfer of, personal data or other customer data may result in governmental investigations, inquiries, enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties, adverse publicity or potential loss of business.

Gorilla is subject to complex, evolving regulatory requirements that may be difficult and expensive to comply with and that could negatively impact its business.

Gorilla’s business and operations are subject to a variety of regulatory requirements in the United States and abroad, including, among other things, with respect to labor, tax, import and export, anti-corruption, data privacy and protection and communications monitoring and interception. Compliance with these regulatory requirements may be onerous and expensive, especially where these requirements are inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction or where the jurisdictional reach of certain requirements is not clearly defined or seeks to reach across national borders. Regulatory requirements in one jurisdiction may make it difficult or impossible to do business in another jurisdiction. Gorilla may also be unsuccessful in obtaining permits, licenses or other authorizations required to operate its business, such as for the import or export of its products. While Gorilla has implemented policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance with these laws and regulations, Gorilla also cannot assure you that it or its personnel will not violate applicable laws and regulations or its policies regarding the same.

Regulatory requirements may also influence market demand for many of Gorilla’s products and/or customer requirements for specific functionality and performance or technical standards. The domestic and international regulatory environment is subject to constant change, often based on factors beyond Gorilla’s control or anticipation, including political climate, budgets and current events, which could reduce demand for Gorilla’s products or require Gorilla to change or redesign products to maintain compliance or competitiveness.

Failure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business, and we have been, and expect to be, the subject of legal and regulatory inquiries, which may result in monetary payments or may otherwise negatively impact our reputation, business, and results of operations.

As noted previously, our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local, and foreign governments in which we operate. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, administrative proceedings, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, litigation, civil and criminal penalties, termination of contracts, exclusion from sales channels or sales opportunities, injunctions, or other consequences. Such matters may include, but are not limited to, claims, disputes, allegations, or investigations related to alleged violations of laws or regulations relating to anticorruption requirements, lobbying or conflict-of-interest requirements, export or other trade controls, data privacy or data protection requirements, or laws or regulations relating to employment, procurement, cybersecurity, securities, or antitrust/competition requirements. We may be subject to government inquiries that drain our time and resources, tarnish our brand among customers and potential customers, prevent us from doing business with certain customers or markets, including government customers, affect our ability to hire, attract and maintain qualified employees, or require us to take remedial action or pay penalties. From time to time, we receive formal and informal inquiries from governmental agencies and regulators regarding our compliance with laws and regulations or otherwise relating to our business or transactions. Any negative outcome from such inquiries or investigations or failure to prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

As the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology evolves, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology is evolving and remains uncertain. It is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and globally, or existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in new ways, that would affect the operation of our platform and the way in which we use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, including with respect to fair lending laws. Further, the cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Gorilla’s Incorporation in the Cayman Islands

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the Board of Directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

Recently introduced economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may adversely impact us or our operations.

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act, (2020 Revision) (the “Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, will apply in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. As we are a Cayman Islands company, compliance obligations include filing annual notifications for us, which need to state whether we are carrying out any relevant activities and if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under the Substance Act. As it is a new regime, it is anticipated that the Substance Act will evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to

keep updated with these developments, and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all requirements under the Substance Act. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the Substance Act.

Failure to maintain our status as tax resident solely in the Cayman Islands could adversely affect our financial and operating results.

Our intention is that prior to our initial business combination we should be resident solely in the Cayman Islands. Continued attention must be paid to ensure that major decisions by Gorilla are not made from another jurisdiction, since this could cause us to lose our status as tax resident solely in the Cayman Islands. The composition of the Board, the place of residence of the individual members of the Board and the location(s) in which the Board makes decisions will all be important factors in determining and maintaining our tax residence in the Cayman Islands. If we were to be considered as tax resident within another jurisdiction, we may be subject to additional tax in that jurisdiction, which could negatively affect our financial and operating results, and/or our shareholders’ or warrant holders’ investment returns could be subject to additional or increased taxes (including withholding taxes).

We may re-domicile or continue out of the Cayman Islands into another jurisdiction, and the laws of such jurisdiction will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.

In connection with the business combination, we may relocate the home jurisdiction of our business or re-domicile or continue out of the Cayman Islands to another jurisdiction. If we determine to do this, the laws of such jurisdiction would likely govern all of our material agreements. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Any such reincorporation and the international nature of our business will likely subject us to foreign regulation.

Risks Related to Gorilla Being Located in Taiwan

Conditions in Taiwan could materially and adversely affect Gorilla’s business.

Many of Gorilla’s employees, including certain management members operate from its offices that are located in Neihu District of Taipei City, Taiwan. In addition, a number of Gorilla’s officers and directors are residents of Taiwan. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Taiwan and the surrounding region may directly affect Gorilla’s business and operations.

Because our Company is located outside of the U.S., Gorilla is subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including periodic foreign economic downturns and political instability, which may adversely affect Gorilla’s revenue and cost of doing business in Taiwan.

Gorilla’s offices and employees are located in Taiwan. Foreign economic downturns may affect our results of operations in the future. Additionally, other facts relating to the operation of Gorilla’s business outside of the U.S. may have a material adverse effect on Gorilla’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including:

• international economic and political changes;

• the imposition of governmental controls or changes in government regulations, including tax laws, regulations and treaties;

• changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements regarding the pharmaceutical industry;

• compliance with U.S. and international laws involving international operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and export control laws;

50

Table of Contents

• difficulties in achieving headcount reductions due to unionized labor and works councils;

• restrictions on transfers of funds and assets between jurisdictions; and

• China — Taiwan geo-political instability.

As Gorilla continues to operate its business, its success will depend in part, on its ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. The impact of any one or more of these factors could materially adversely affect Gorilla’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Gorilla may be exposed to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and Chinese anti-corruption law.

Gorilla is subject to the FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments, foreign government officials and political parties by U.S. persons as defined by the statute for purposes of obtaining or retaining businesses. Gorilla may have agreements with third parties who may make sales in mainland China and the U.S., during the process of which Gorilla may be exposed to corruption. Activities in Taiwan create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by an employee, consultant or agent of Gorilla, because these parties are not always subject to Gorilla’s control.

Although Gorilla believes to date it has complied in all material aspects with the provisions of the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption law, the existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective and any of Gorilla’s employees, consultants or agents may engage in corruptive conduct for which Gorilla might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption law may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions against Gorilla and individuals and therefore could negatively affect Gorilla’s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the Taiwanese government may seek to hold Gorilla liable as a successor for FCPA violations committed by companies in which Gorilla invests or acquires.

International operations expose Gorilla to currency exchange and repatriation risks, and Gorilla cannot predict the effect of future exchange rate fluctuations on its business and operating results.

Gorilla has business operations in Taiwan and collaborative activities in the U.S. Substantial amounts of revenues are received and expenses are incurred in New Taiwan Dollars and U.S. Dollars. Thus, Gorilla has exposure to currency fluctuations. Gorilla cannot assure you that the effect of currency exchange fluctuations will not materially affect its revenues and net income in the future.

It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against Gorilla, its officers and directors and the Taiwanese experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus in Taiwan or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Taiwan or serve process on Gorilla’s officers and directors and these experts.

Most of Gorilla’s directors or officers are not residents of the United States and most of their and Gorilla’s assets are located outside the United States. Service of process upon Gorilla or its non-U.S. resident directors and officers and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States against Gorilla or its non-U.S. directors and executive officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Gorilla have been informed by its legal counsel in Taiwan that it may be difficult to assert claims under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Taiwan or obtain a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Taiwanese courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws against Gorilla or its non-U.S. officers and directors because Taiwan may not be the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if a Taiwanese court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Taiwanese law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Taiwanese law. Taiwanese courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Taiwan, which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against Gorilla or its non-U.S. officers and directors.

Moreover, among other reasons, including but not limited to, fraud or absence of due process, or the existence of a judgment which is at variance with another judgment that was given in the same matter if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Taiwan, a Taiwanese court will not enforce a non-Taiwanese judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Taiwanese courts (subject to exceptional cases) or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice its sovereignty or security.

Risks Related to the Gorilla Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that has been identified, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud or fail to meet our reporting obligations, and investor confidence and the market price of our shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Prior to the proposed transaction, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the PCAOB. The material weaknesses identified arose from: (i) lack of sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting and regulatory knowledge, training, and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately with respect to Gorilla’s financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting framework; and (ii) lack of policies and procedures over evaluation of significant complex transactions and evaluation of certain general ledger accounts. Following the identification of the material weaknesses, we have taken and plan to continue to take remedial measures to remedy the weakness. For details of these remedies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remedied. Our failure to correct the material weaknesses or our failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud. Furthermore, it is possible that, had our independent registered public accounting firm conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, such firm might have identified additional material weaknesses and deficiencies.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, which for us, is IFRS. Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our second annual report on Form 20-F. This assessment will need to include disclosures of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. The SEC defines a “material weakness” as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation. During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other material weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from prior periods.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares

The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. In September 2021, the PCAOB adopted a new rule to provide a framework for its determinations under the HFCAA that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. In addition, in June 2021, the Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act which, if signed into law, would reduce the time period for the delisting of foreign companies under the HFCAA to two consecutive years, instead of three.

The audit work on our PRC subsidiary may not be inspected fully by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, our investors are deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Auditors of companies that are registered with the SEC and traded publicly in the United States, including our independent registered public accounting firm, must be registered with the PCAOB, and are subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess their compliance with the relevant professional standards. Our auditor, which is based in Taiwan, is currently subject to inspection by the PCAOB every three years, without restriction. The audit work on our China subsidiaries is performed directly by our auditor under a temporary license issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. However, our auditor is unable to provide audit working papers of Gorilla’s subsidiaries in China for PCAOB’s inspection without the approval of the PRC authorities. The PCAOB’s inspections of other firms outside China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The lack of PCAOB’s inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating audits and quality control procedures of any auditors operating in China. Also, the potential inability of the PCAOB to fully inspect our auditor’s working paper of our China subsidiaries prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of our independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to fully inspect our auditor’s working paper makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to other auditors that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

In December 2020, the United States enacted the HFCAA. The HFCAA requires that the SEC identify issuers that retain an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction. Amongst other things, the HFCAA also requires the SEC to prohibit the securities of any issuer from being traded on any of the U.S. national securities exchanges, such as Nasdaq, or on the U.S. “over-the-counter” markets, if the auditor of the issuer’s financial statements is not subject to PCAOB inspections for three consecutive “non-inspection” years after the law became effective. On April 5, 2021, the SEC’s interim final rule to implement the disclosure and submission requirements of the HFCAA was published in the U.S. Federal Register, along with the SEC’s request for public comment on the interim final rule. Regarding how the term “retain” should be interpreted for purposes of determining whether an issuer has retained an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction, the SEC noted in the interim final rule that the HFCAA does not define the term “retain,” and requested comment on how the term “retain” should be understood for purposes of the HFCAA. Enactment of any of such legislations or other efforts to increase

U.S. regulatory access to audit information could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if we are unable to cure the situation to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time. Furthermore, there have been recent media reports on deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. If any such deliberations were to materialize, the resulting legislation may have material and adverse impact on the stock performance of China-based issuers listed in the United States. Our auditor, which is based in Taiwan, conducts audit work directly on our China subsidiaries under a temporary license issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. However, given the restriction imposed by the PRC government, our auditor is unable to provide audit working papers of our subsidiaries in China for PCAOB’s inspection without the approval of the PRC authorities. Given the current question as to how “retain” should be understood for purposes of the HFCAA, we cannot assure you that we will not be identified by the SEC as an issuer that has retained an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction as a result of the fact that the auditor of our China subsidiaries is located in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. In addition, there can be no assurance that, if we have a “noninspection” year, we will be able to take remedial measures in response thereto. If any such event were to occur, trading in our securities could in the future be prohibited under the HFCAA, so we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the listing of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq or that you will be allowed to trade our ordinary shares in the United States on the “over-the-counter” markets or otherwise. Should the ordinary shares not be listed or tradeable in the United States, the value of the ordinary shares could be materially affected.

We are dependent on our senior management team and other highly skilled personnel, and if we are not successful in attracting or retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy.

Our success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of our senior management team and on our ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of other highly skilled personnel, including engineering, finance, marketing, sales, and technology and support personnel. The loss of any one or more members of our senior management team, for any reason, including resignation or retirement, could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain skilled employees to support our operations and growth.

Our forecasted operating and financial results rely in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions and analyses prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial results may be significantly below our forecasts.

The projected financial and operating information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement reflects current estimates of future performance. Whether actual operating and financial results and business developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not limited to:

• whether we can obtain sufficient capital to begin production and grow our business;

• our ability to manage our growth;

• whether we can manage relationships with our partners and suppliers;

• whether we can rapidly deploy our facilities and successfully execute our production methodologies in such facilities;

• the ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and certifications;

• demand for our products and services;

• the timing and costs of new and existing marketing and promotional efforts;

• inflationary pressures in labor markets and for other resources

• competition, including from established and future competitors;

• our ability to retain existing key management, to integrate recent hires and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;

• the overall strength and stability of the economies in the markets in which we operate or intend to operate in the future; and

• regulatory, legislative and political changes.

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

Gorilla will be a foreign private issuer and, as a result, it will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Gorilla will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because Gorilla qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, it is exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year and U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

Gorilla may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As discussed above, Gorilla is a foreign private issuer and, therefore, is not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Gorilla on June 30, 2021. In the future, Gorilla would lose its foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or it fails to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If Gorilla loses its foreign private issuer status, it will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. Gorilla would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, it would lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, Gorilla would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it will not incur as a foreign private issuer.

As Gorilla is a “foreign private issuer” and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

As a foreign private issuer, Gorilla has the option to follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those of Nasdaq, provided that it discloses the requirements it is not following and describes the home country practices it is following. Gorilla may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to certain matters. As a result, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and the Combined Company

Global may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2021, Global had approximately $458,401 available to it outside the Trust Account to fund its working capital requirements. If Global is required to seek additional capital, it would need to borrow funds from the Sponsor, its management team or other third parties to operate or it may be forced to liquidate. None of such persons is under any obligation to advance funds to Global in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to Global from the Trust Account upon completion of the Business Combination. If Global is unable to consummate the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, and if Global is not able to consummate another business combination within the timeline set forth in its Charter, Global may be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, Global’s public shareholders may receive less than $10 per share and their warrants will expire worthless.

If Global’s shareholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to convert their Global Class A ordinary share into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Global shareholders holding public shares may demand that Global convert their public shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting. To demand redemption rights, Global shareholders must deliver their subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to Global’s transfer agent no later than two (2) business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting. Any shareholder who fails to properly demand redemption rights by delivering his, her or its shares will not be entitled to convert his, her or its shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that Global cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including the condition that Global have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-5(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after consummation of the Business Combination, that the Minimum Cash Condition is satisfied, that there is no legal prohibition against consummation of the Business Combination, that the Gorilla ordinary shares be approved for listing on Nasdaq subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, that Gorilla does not receive evidence that it will not qualify as a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, the consummation of the Recapitalization, receipt of securityholder approvals, continued effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the truth and accuracy of Global’s and Gorilla’s representations and warranties made in the Business Combination Agreement, the non-termination of the Business Combination Agreement and agreements by both Global and Gorilla. There are no assurances that all conditions to the Business Combination will be satisfied or that the conditions will be satisfied in the time frame expected.

If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met (and are not waived, to the extent waivable), either Global or Gorilla may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, terminate the Business Combination Agreement. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements — Termination.”

56

Table of Contents

The exercise of Global’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Global’s best interests.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Global to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Gorilla or to waive rights that Global is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Waivers may arise because of changes in the course of Gorilla’s business, a request by Gorilla to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Gorilla’s business and would entitle Global to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Global’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors and officers described in these risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what he or they may believe is best for Global and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Global does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Global’s directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Global will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Global’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on its shareholders or represent a fundamental change in the proposals being voted upon.

Gorilla may issue additional Gorilla ordinary shares or other equity securities without seeking approval of the Gorilla shareholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of the Gorilla ordinary shares.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla will have warrants outstanding to purchase up to an aggregate of _______ Gorilla ordinary shares. Further, Gorilla may choose to seek third party financing to provide additional working capital for the Gorilla business, in which event Gorilla may issue additional equity securities. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla may also issue additional Gorilla ordinary shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding warrants or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances.

The issuance of additional Gorilla ordinary shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

• Gorilla’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Gorilla will decrease;

• the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

• the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding Gorilla ordinary share may be diminished; and

• the market price of the Gorilla ordinary shares may decline.

Future resales of the Gorilla ordinary shares issued in connection with the Business Combination may cause the market price of the Gorilla ordinary shares to drop significantly, even if Gorilla’s business is doing well.

Certain equityholders of Gorilla entered into Lock-Up Agreements with Gorilla. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, certain Gorilla equityholders have agreed that, until the earlier of (x) six months following the Closing Date and (y) following the date that the last sale price of the Gorilla ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (subject to certain adjustments) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, they will not transfer any Gorilla securities. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements — Lock-Up Agreements.”

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Gorilla, Global and the Sponsor entered into the Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, pursuant to which Gorilla will assume the obligations of Global under the Founder Registration Rights Agreement, and, among other things, Gorilla will be added as a party to the Founder Registration Rights Agreement, which will reflect the issuance of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants be issued to the Sponsor pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Upon expiration of the applicable lockup periods set forth in the Lock-Up Agreements and upon the effectiveness of any registration statement Gorilla files pursuant to the Founders Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Gorilla shareholders may sell large amounts of Gorilla ordinary shares and warrants in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of the Gorilla ordinary shares or the Gorilla warrants or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants. Additionally, downward pressure on the market price of the Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants likely will result from sales of Gorilla ordinary shares issued in connection with the exercise of warrants. Further, sales of Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants upon expiration of the applicable lockup period could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. Short sales of Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants could have a tendency to depress the price of the Gorilla ordinary shares or the Gorilla warrants, respectively, which could increase the potential for short sales.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants will have on the market price of the Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants. Sales of substantial amounts of Gorilla ordinary shares (including those shares issued in connection with the Business Combination), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of Gorilla ordinary shares or warrants.

Global’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

Global’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, Global’s board of directors reviewed the significant significant business, financial and legal due diligence completed and/or commission by Global’s management on Gorilla and researched the industry in which Gorilla operates and concluded that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Global. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of Global’s board of directors and management in valuing Gorilla’s business, and Global’s board of directors and management may not have properly valued such business. The lack of a third-party fairness opinion may lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the proposed Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares for cash, which could potentially impact Global’s ability to consummate the Business Combination or adversely affect Gorilla’s liquidity following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Global and Gorilla will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Transactions.

Global and Gorilla have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Transactions and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Transactions. Gorilla may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs or paid by Gorilla following the Closing.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the combined company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the combined company’s ordinary share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Global has conducted extensive due diligence on Gorilla, Global cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present in Gorilla’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Gorilla’s business and outside of its control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, the combined company may be forced to later write-down

58

Table of Contents

or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in its reporting losses. Even if Global’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Global’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on the combined company’s liquidity, the fact that the combined company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions of the combined company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the combined company to violate net worth or other covenants to which the combined company may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by Gorilla’s business or by virtue of the combined company obtaining post-combination debt financing. Accordingly, any shareholders of Gorilla following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

The Gorilla securities to be received by Global’s securityholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from Global securities.

Following completion of the Business Combination, Global’s securityholders will no longer be securityholders of Global but will instead be securityholders of Gorilla. There will be important differences between your current rights as a Global securityholder and your rights as a Gorilla securityholder. See “Comparison of Rights of Gorilla Shareholders and Global Shareholders” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the Gorilla securities.

Global’s shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Business Combination, Global’s current shareholders will own a smaller percentage of the combined company than they currently own of Global. At the Closing, existing Gorilla shareholders would hold approximately ________% of the issued and outstanding Gorilla ordinary shares and current shareholders of Global (including the Sponsor) will own the remaining Gorilla ordinary shares (assuming no holder of Class A ordinary share exercises redemption rights as described in this proxy statement/prospectus). Consequently, Global’s current shareholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in the combined company compared to their ownership and voting power in Global.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, there is no guarantee that the Global warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the Global warrants, once exchanged for Gorilla warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be $11.50 per ordinary share. There is no guarantee that such Gorilla warrants, following the Business Combination, will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Global’s current directors’ and executive officers’ affiliates own Global Ordinary Shares and warrants underlying the private placement units that will be worthless if the Business Combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 4,187,500 shares of Class B ordinary share held by the directors and the Sponsor, which is affiliated with certain of Global’s directors and officers and other certain officers, that were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Global IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Further, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 697,500 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit, simultaneously with the consummation of the Global IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,975,000. The Class B ordinary share and the private placement units (including the securities underlying the private placement units) will become worthless if Global does not consummate a business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding Class B ordinary share will convert into one Gorilla ordinary share, subject to adjustment described herein, at the closing and each outstanding Global

59

Table of Contents

warrant will become a Gorilla warrant. Such shares and warrants had an aggregate market value of approximately
$ million and approximately $ million, respectively, based upon the closing price of $ per share and $ per warrant on Nasdaq on , 2022.

As such, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate. In addition, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.00435 that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the Combined Company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination. In the event that a business combination is not effected, the Sponsor will not be entitled to any reimbursement of funds invested in Global. In total, the Sponsor and I-Bankers have invested $6,825,000 for securities that would be worthless absent the completion of a business combination. The Sponsor, its affiliates and Global’s officers and directors have no loans outstanding to Global.

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Global’s directors and officers to approve the Business Combination and to continue to pursue the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of Global’s board of directors to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Transactions.”

The Sponsor, an affiliate of current officers and directors of Global, is liable to ensure that proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the Business Combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced Global’s board of directors’ decision to pursue the Business Combination and Global’s board of directors’ decision to approve it.

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by Global on or before April 13, 2022, the Sponsor, an affiliate of current officers and directors of Global, will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or for products sold to Global, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver agreement. If Global consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Global will be liable for all such claims. Global has no reason to believe that the Sponsor will not be able to fulfill its indemnity obligations to Global.

These obligations of the Sponsor may have influenced Global’s board of directors’ decision to pursue the Business Combination with Gorilla or Global’s board of directors’ decision to approve the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of Global’s board of directors to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, shareholders should consider these interests. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

Global’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Global’s public shareholders in the event a business combination is not consummated.

If proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below $10.10 per public share and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Global’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Global currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on Global’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce the Sponsor’s indemnification obligations, it is possible that Global’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Global’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Global’s public shareholders may be reduced below $10.10 per share.

Activities taken by existing Global shareholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on the Global Class A ordinary share.

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Global or its securities, Global, the Sponsor, Global’s officers and directors, Gorilla, the Gorilla officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase Global Class A ordinary share from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Global Class A ordinary share or vote their shares of Global Class A ordinary share in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Global Class A ordinary share and ensure that Global has in excess of $5,000,001 of net assets to consummate the Business Combination where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares owned by the Sponsor for nominal value. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Global Class A ordinary share. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares of Global Class A ordinary share at a price lower than market and may, therefore, be more likely to sell the Global Class A ordinary share he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Gorilla ordinary shares following the Business Combination and the number of beneficial holders of Gorilla securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of Gorilla securities on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for the Gorilla ordinary shares.

The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, either Global or Gorilla may refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to consummate the Business Combination, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Gorilla or Global, including the following events (except, in certain cases where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

• changes generally affecting the economy and the financial or securities markets, including the COVID-19 pandemic;

• the outbreak or escalation of war or any act of terrorism, civil unrest or natural disasters;

• changes (including changes in law) or general conditions in the industry in which the party operates;

• changes in GAAP, or the authoritative interpretation of GAAP; or

• changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the Transactions or the execution or performance of the Business Combination Agreement.

Furthermore, Global or Gorilla may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still consummate the Business Combination, the market trading price of the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants may suffer.

Delays in completing the Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination.

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Business Combination may take longer than, and could cost more than, Global expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Business Combination may materially adversely affect the benefits that Global expects to achieve from the Business Combination.

Global and Gorilla have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be an indication of Gorilla’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate Gorilla and your investment decision.

Gorilla and Global have no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not been previously managed on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of Global and Gorilla, and is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations including, without limitation, future revenue, or financial condition of Global following the Business Combination. Certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding Global after giving effect to the Business Combination. Gorilla and Global believe these assumptions are reasonable, however, the information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments are difficult to make with accuracy. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect Global’s results of operations or financial condition following the consummation of the Business Combination. For these and other reasons, the historical and pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus does not necessarily reflect Gorilla’s results of operations and financial condition and the actual financial condition and results of operations of Gorilla following the Business Combination may not be consistent with, or evident from, this pro forma financial information.

The projections and forecasts presented in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the actual results of the transaction or Gorilla’s future results.

This proxy statement/prospectus contains projections and forecasts prepared by Gorilla. None of the projections and forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared with a view toward public disclosure other than to certain parties involved in the Business Combination or toward complying with SEC guidelines or GAAP. The projections and forecasts were prepared based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Gorilla and Global and exclude, among other things, transaction-related expenses. Important factors that may affect actual results and results of Gorilla’s operations following the Business Combination, or could lead to such projections and forecasts not being achieved include, but are not limited to: client demand for Gorilla’s products, an evolving competitive landscape, regulation changes in a highly regulated environment, successful management and retention of key personnel, unexpected expenses and general economic conditions. While Gorilla assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the projections and forecasts to the extent included in this proxy statement/prospectus, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projections, as the projections may be materially different than actual results.

The projections and forecasts presented in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared by Gorilla’s management. Investors should note that the projections and forecasts have not been independently verified or confirmed by Global or any third party. In particular, none of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan nor any independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the projections and forecasts, and none of them have expressed an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections and forecasts.

If Global is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such other date as approved by Global shareholders through approval of an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, Global public shareholders may only receive $10.10 per share (or less than such amount in certain circumstances) and Global warrants will expire worthless.

If Global is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination within the required time period, Global will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Global to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Global public shares, which

62

Table of Contents

redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Global’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in each case above) to Global’s obligations under Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, Global public shareholders may only receive $10.10 per share, and Global warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, Global public shareholders may receive less than $10.10 per share on the redemption of their shares.

If the Business Combination is not completed, potential target businesses may have leverage over Global in negotiating a business combination, Global’s ability to conduct due diligence on a business combination as it approaches its dissolution deadline may decrease, and it may have insufficient working capital to continue to pursue potential target businesses, each of which could undermine the ability to complete a business combination on terms that would produce value for Global shareholders.

Any potential target business with which Global enters into negotiations concerning an initial business combination will be aware that, unless Global amends its existing charter to extend its life and amend certain other agreements it has entered into, then Global must complete its initial business combination by April 13, 2022. Consequently, if Global is unable to complete this Business Combination, a potential target business may obtain leverage over it in negotiating an initial business combination, knowing that if Global does not complete its initial business combination with that particular target business, it may be unable to complete its initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as Global gets closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, Global may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into its initial business combination on terms that it would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation. Additionally, Global may have insufficient working capital to continue efforts to pursue a business combination.

In the event of liquidation by Global, third parties may bring claims against Global and, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by shareholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

Under the terms of the Global Articles, Global must complete the Business Combination or another business combination by April 13, 2022 (unless such date is extended by Global’s shareholders) or Global must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Global. Although Global has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the Trust Account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Global’s public shareholders. If Global is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Global if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to it, or a prospective target business with which it has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.10 per public share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Global’s indemnity of the underwriter of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Furthermore, the Sponsor will not be liable to public shareholders and instead will only have liability to Global. Global has not independently verified whether

63

Table of Contents

the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. Global has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such eventuality. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than the approximately $______ estimated to be in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting date, due to such claims.

Additionally, if Global is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if Global otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in its bankruptcy.

Global’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Global to the extent of distributions received by them.

If Global is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination within the required time period, Global will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Global to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Global public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Global’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in each case above) to Global’s obligations under the Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Global cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Global. As a result, Global’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its shareholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Global cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its shareholders amounts owed to them by Global.

Additionally, if Global is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Global’s shareholders. Because Global intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to its public shareholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public shareholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, Global’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Global to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Global cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

Global may be a target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into business combination agreements or similar agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Global’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Transactions, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Transactions from being completed. Currently, Global is not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Transactions.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Global’s public shareholders vote.

The Sponsor, as well as Global’s officers and directors, beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 21.7% of the outstanding Global Ordinary Share. These holders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These holders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares

64

Table of Contents

in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. In addition to the Global Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors, Global would need 6,075,001 shares, or approximately 36.3%, of the 16,750,000 public shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals in order for them to be approved. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval for the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals will be received than would be the case if the Sponsor agreed to vote its Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by Global’s public shareholders.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect Global’s and Gorilla’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governmental authorities worldwide implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business limitations and shutdowns. More generally, the pandemic raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn and has caused volatility in financial markets. The pandemic may also amplify many of the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Global and Gorilla may be unable to complete the Transactions if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel and limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the Gorilla personnel. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts Global’s and Gorilla’s ability to consummate the Transactions will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, Global’s and Gorilla’s ability to consummate the Transactions may be materially adversely affected.

The Business Combination may not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) potentially causing U.S. Holders of Global Ordinary Share and/or Global warrants to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

It is intended that the Business Combination qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties intend to report the Business Combination in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. However, there are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Business Combination will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. For example, under Section 368(a) of the Code, the acquiring corporation must continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business. However, there is an absence of guidance directly on point as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as Global. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of certain of these requirements. Moreover, the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Business Combination will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and neither Global nor Gorilla intends to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court will not sustain a challenge by the IRS.

If, as of the Closing Date, any requirement for Section 368(a) of the Code is not met, then a U.S. Holder of Global Ordinary Share and/or Global warrants may recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value (as of the Closing Date) of Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants received in the Business Combination, over such U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the corresponding Global Ordinary Share and/or Global warrants surrendered by such U.S. Holder in the Business Combination.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, Global’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date.

If, at the extraordinary general meeting, the chairman presiding over the extraordinary general meeting determines that it would be in the best interests of Global to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to give Global more time to consummate the Business Combination for whatever reason (such as if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, or if Global would have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon the

65

Table of Contents

consummation of the Transactions, or if additional time is needed to fulfil other closing conditions), the chairman presiding over the extraordinary general meeting will seek approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the chairman will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Global, and following the Business Combination, the combined company, may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of the material weakness in Global’s internal controls over financial reporting described above, the change in accounting for complex financial instruments, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, Global faces potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Global has no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, Global can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Redemption

The ability of Global public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Global Shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem Global Class A ordinary share.

The obligations of Gorilla and Merger Sub to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, Global having an amount of available cash from its Trust Account, following payment by Global to its shareholders who have validly elected to redeem their Class A ordinary shares, and deferred underwriting fee, plus proceeds from the PIPE Investment, if any, of no less than $50 million. If the Business Combination is not consummated, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until the Trust Account is liquidated. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your Global Class A ordinary share in the open market; however, at such time Global Class A ordinary share may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with Global’s redemption until Global liquidates or you are able to sell your Global Class A ordinary share in the open market.

Public shareholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares.

A public shareholder of Global, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 5% of the Global public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 15% of the Global public shares and the Business Combination Proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your public shares and may be forced to hold the shares in excess of 15% or sell them in the open market. Global cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following a business combination or that the market price of Global Class A ordinary share will exceed the per-share redemption price.

There is no guarantee that a Global shareholder’s decision to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

There is no assurance as to the price at which a Global shareholder may be able to sell its Gorilla ordinary shares in the future following the completion of the Transactions or shares with respect to any alternative business

combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Transactions, may cause an increase in the share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of Global might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed his, her or its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Global shareholders do not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate their investment, therefore, Global shareholders may be forced to redeem or sell their public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

Global shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) Global’s completion of the Business Combination or, if the Business Combination is not completed, an alternative business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Global Class A ordinary share that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, and (ii) the redemption of Global’s public shares if Global is unable to complete an initial business combination by April 13, 2022, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if Global plans to redeem its public shares because Global is unable to complete an initial business combination by April 13, 2022, for any reason, compliance with Cayman Islands or other law may require that Global submit a plan of dissolution to Global’s then-existing shareholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in Global’s Trust Account. In that case, public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond April 13, 2022, before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will public shareholders have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate their investment, public shareholders may be forced to sell their public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

Global currently is and the combined company will be an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if the combined company takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

Global is currently and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. The combined company may continue to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, the combined company stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find securities issued by the combined company less attractive because the combined company will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find those securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of the combined company’s securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for the combined company’s securities and the trading prices of the combined company’s securities may be more volatile.

The combined company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Global IPO, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which the combined company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which the combined company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of the combined company ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which the combined company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including statements regarding Gorilla’s, Global’s or the combined company’s future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Gorilla’s or Global’s expectations concerning the outlook for their or the combined company’s business, productivity, plans and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the combined company as set forth in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Global’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and the Recommendation of the Board of Directors.” Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination between Gorilla and Global.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projected or implied in those statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

• Gorilla expects to invest substantially in research and development for the purpose of developing and commercializing new services, and these investments could significantly reduce its profitability or increase its losses and may not generate revenue for Gorilla;

• If Gorilla does not develop enhancements to its services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance, its growth, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;

• If Gorilla is unsuccessful at investing in growth opportunities, its business could be materially and adversely affected;

• Gorilla may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to execute its business plan, and these funds may not be available to Gorilla when it needs them or on favorable terms. If Gorilla cannot raise additional funds when it needs them, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

• Gorilla has experienced moderate growth in the past five years, and if Gorilla fails to effectively manage its growth, then its business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;

• Gorilla relies, in part, on partnerships to grow its business. The partnerships may not produce the financial or operating results that Gorilla anticipates. In addition, if Gorilla is unable to enter into partnerships, or successfully maintain them, its growth may be adversely impacted;

• Historically, a single customer has accounted for a material portion of Gorilla’s revenues and, therefore, the loss of that customer could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition;

• Gorilla’s business depends on expanding its base of clients and its clients increasing their use of its services, and its inability to expand its base of, or lose any of, its clients or decline in their use of its services could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition;

• If Gorilla fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing client needs, requirements or preferences, its products and services may become less competitive;

• The market for Gorilla’s edge AI services and products is relatively new, and may decline or experience limited growth, and its business is dependent on its clients’ continuing adoption and use its services and products;

68

Table of Contents

• The competitive position of Gorilla’s platforms depends in part on its ability to operate with third-party products and services, and if we are not successful in maintaining and expanding the compatibility of its platforms with such third-party products and services, its business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted;

• Gorilla partners with industry leading technology companies to provide end-to-end solutions for different verticals. If Gorilla is unable to develop and expand its relationships with such companies, then Gorilla’s business financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

• If Global’s shareholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to convert their Global Class A ordinary share into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account;

• Global’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination;

• The Gorilla securities to be received by Global’s securityholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from Global securities;

• Global’s current directors’ and executive officers’ affiliates own Global Ordinary Shares and warrants underlying the private placement units that will be worthless if the Business Combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination;

• Global and Gorilla have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be an indication of Gorilla’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate Gorilla and your investment decision; and

• The other matters described in the section titled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the absence of events that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the possibility that the Business Combination does not close, and risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations and business relationships, or poses difficulties in attracting or retaining employees for Gorilla.

Gorilla and Global caution you against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect current beliefs and are based on information currently available as of the date a forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements set forth herein speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Neither Gorilla nor Global undertakes any obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs. In the event that any forward-looking statement is updated, no inference should be made that Gorilla or Global will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters, or any other forward-looking statements. Any corrections or revisions and other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, including discussions of significant risk factors, may appear, up to the consummation of the Business Combination, in Global’s public filings with the SEC or, upon and following the consummation of the Business Combination, in Gorilla’s public filings with the SEC, which are or will be (as appropriate) accessible at www.sec.gov, and which you are advised to consult.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a Global shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Global Ordinary Shares, you may call ______________, Global’s proxy solicitor, at ___________________.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Global Articles, a holder of public shares may demand that Global redeem such shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated; provided that Global may not consummate the Business Combination if it has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination. Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Global unless the Board of Directors of Global determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). If you deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms for redemption to Global’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the time the vote is counted at the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Global’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Global’s transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public subunits to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold public subunits, or

(b) hold public subunits through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public subunits prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public subunits; and

(ii) prior to ________, Eastern Time, on ________, 2022, (a) submit a written request to Continental that Global redeem your public subunits for cash and (b) deliver your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DWAC.

Holders of outstanding units must separate the underlying subunits prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public subunits. The holder must deliver the certificate for its units to Continental (if the units are registered in the holder’s own name) or to its broker dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee (if the units are held in “street name”), as applicable, with written instructions to separate the units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the public subunits from the units.

Holders of public subunits do not need to affirmatively vote on the Business Combination Proposal or be a holder of such public subunits as of the record date to exercise redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not consummated, these public subunits will not be redeemed for cash. If a holder of public subunits properly demands redemption, delivers his, her or its subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to Global’s transfer agent as described above, and the Business Combination is consummated, Global will redeem each public subunit for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the date of the extraordinary general meeting. It is anticipated that this would amount to approximately $_____________ per share. If a holder

72

Table of Contents

of public subunits exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his, her or its public subunits for cash and will no longer own securities of the combined company. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares into cash.

If you are a holder of public shares (through your ownership of Global subunits) and you exercise your redemption rights, it will result in the loss of your Global warrants contained in the Global subunits, but will not result in the loss of any separated Global warrants that you may hold directly (including those contained in any units you hold and do not tender for redemption which are split into Global Ordinary Shares and Global warrants at merger closing). Your whole warrants will be exchanged for Gorilla warrants and become exercisable to purchase one Gorilla ordinary share following consummation of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 15% held by a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash.

Holders of Founder Shares will not have redemption rights with respect to such shares.

Holders may demand redemption by delivering their subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Global’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $____________ and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed merger is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Global’s transfer agent can be contacted at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street — 30th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attn: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public ordinary shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to Global unless the Board of Directors of Global determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Global’s public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, as applicable. In such case, Global will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders. If Global would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as a result of the holders of public shares properly demanding redemption of their shares for cash, Global will not be able to consummate the Business Combination.

The closing price of Class A ordinary share on _____________, 2022, the extraordinary general meeting record date, was $__________. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $________ million ($____ per public share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Class A ordinary share as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A ordinary share in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Global cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Class A ordinary share in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.

73

Table of Contents

If a holder of public shares exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then he, she or it will be exchanging its shares of Class A ordinary share for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to Global’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting, and the Business Combination is consummated.

For a detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for shareholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to Global Ordinary Share” of this proxy statement/prospectus. The consequences of a redemption to any particular shareholder will depend on that shareholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

Appraisal Rights

None of the subunit holders or warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection the Business Combination under the Companies Act. Global shareholders may be entitled to give notice to Global prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Global shares if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act, noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Companies Act which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. It is Global’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Global shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Global is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone. Global and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies online. Global will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. Global will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Global has hired to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Global will pay to a fee of $_____________, plus disbursements.

Global will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Global will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Other Matters

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Global’s board of directors does not know of any business to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting other than as set forth in the notice accompanying this proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters should properly come before the extraordinary general meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

Interests of Global’s Officers and Directors in the Transactions

In considering the recommendation of Global’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals and the Nasdaq Proposal, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Global’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of holders of public shares generally. In particular:

• If the Business Combination with Gorilla or another business combination is not consummated by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100%

of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Global IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $________ million based upon the closing price of $________ per share on Nasdaq on ________, 2022. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Global Ordinary Share will be converted into one Gorilla ordinary share. In the aggregate, the 4,187,500 Founder Shares will be converted into Global Class A ordinary share and exchanged for 4,187,500 Gorilla ordinary shares.

• The Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased 697,500 private placement units from Global for $10.00 per unit. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Global IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Nearly all of the proceeds Global received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such private placement units had an aggregate market value of approximately $________ million based upon the closing price of $________ per unit on Nasdaq on ________, 2022. The warrants underlying the private placement units will become worthless if Global does not consummate a business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant underlying the private placement unit will be exchanged for one warrant of Gorilla.

• If Global is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Global. If Global consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Global and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

• The Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of activities on Global’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Global fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Global may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). As of the record date, the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $___________ of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

• The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate;

• Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.00435 that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the Combined Company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

• In the event that a business combination is not effected, the Sponsor will not be entitled to any reimbursement of funds invested in Global. In total, the Sponsor has invested $5,325,000 for securities that would be worthless absent the completion of a business combination. The Sponsor, its affiliates and Global’s officers and directors have no loans outstanding to Global.

• The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Global’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Global’s current directors and officers.

• Global’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Global to fund certain capital requirements. On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan Global an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Global IPO pursuant to a promissory note that was repaid in full upon the completion of the Global IPO. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Global outside of the Trust Account.

• Jay Chandan, Global’s Chairman, will be Executive Chairman of Gorilla following the closing of the Business Combination. Such position may provide Mr. Chandan with compensation, including equity incentives. The terms of such position have not been negotiated or approved, and will not be considered by Gorilla until after the Business Combination.

• In addition to these interests of the Sponsor and Global’s current officers and directors, the Global Articles waive the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. The “corporate opportunity” doctrine generally provides that a director or officer may not take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (1) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (2) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (3) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (4) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the self-interest of the director or officer will be brought into conflict with the director’s or officer’s duties to the corporation. However, Global does not believe that the waiver of the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine in the Global Articles had any impact on its search for a potential business combination target.

Purchases of Global Shares

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Global or its securities and subject to certain other conditions and procedures, the Sponsor, Global’s officers and directors, Gorilla, Gorilla shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase subunits from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase subunits from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Global subunits or vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such subunit purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Business Combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of founder shares owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Global Class A ordinary share. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase public subunits at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the subunits he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of subunits by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus by the Sponsor, Global officers and directors, Gorilla, Gorilla shareholders or any of their respective affiliates. Global will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

PROPOSAL ONE — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

The following is a discussion of the proposed Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement. This is a summary only and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Global shareholders are urged to read this entire proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including the Business Combination Agreement, for a more complete understanding of the Business Combination.

General

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Global, with Global surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, and following the Recapitalization, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Global, with Global continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gorilla (which we refer to as the Merger); (ii) the Global Ordinary Shares (including Global Class A ordinary shares and Global Class B ordinary shares) will be converted into Gorilla ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis; (iii) warrants to purchase Global Ordinary Shares will be converted into warrants to purchase the same number of Gorilla ordinary shares at the same exercise price and for the same exercise period; (iv) Global will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla; and (v) Global will have a restated certificate of incorporation (as described under “Proposal No. 2. — The Charter Proposals”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and contingent upon the Closing, Gorilla will effect the Recapitalization pursuant to which (a) the preference shares of Gorilla will be converted into Gorilla ordinary shares in accordance with Gorilla’s organizational documents; (b) Gorilla will effect a recapitalization of Gorilla ordinary shares so that the holders of Gorilla’s ordinary shares (and options to acquire Gorilla ordinary shares that are not converted to Gorilla ordinary shares in the Recapitalization) will have shares (or the right to acquire shares, as applicable) valued at $10.00 per share having a total value of $650,000,000, on a fully diluted basis (the ratio at which Gorilla ordinary shares are recapitalized being referred to as the Conversion Ratio); and (c) with respect to outstanding options to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares, the number of Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such security shall, as a result of the Recapitalization, become and be converted into such number of Gorilla ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $650,000,000, by (B) $10.00, and subsequently dividing such quotient by (C) the sum of (i) the number of Gorilla ordinary shares then outstanding and (ii) without duplication, the number of Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares, and taking such quotient to five decimal places, which ratio is referred to as the “Conversion Ratio”.

Background of the Business Combination

The following is a discussion of Global’s formation, the background of Global’s previous attempts at a business combination, its negotiations with and evaluation of Gorilla, the Business Combination Agreement and related matters.

On April 13, 2021, Global closed its IPO of 16,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one subunit and three-quarters of a warrant to acquire one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50. On April 14, 2021, Global consummated the sale of an additional 750,000 units which were subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of its IPO. The units from the IPO (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $167,500,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, Global consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 697,500 units to its initial shareholders, in each case at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $6,975,000.

Promptly following its IPO, Global commenced consideration and evaluation of potential target businesses with the objective of consummating a business combination. Global focused its search for potential target businesses by utilizing internal research and the networks of relationships of its management, Board of Directors and with professional service providers (including lawyers, accountants, consultants and investment bankers). Global educated these parties on its structure as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) and its criteria for an acquisition.

Table of Contents

Global also responded to inquiries from investment bankers or other similar professionals who represented companies engaged in either a sale or financing process. On a regular basis, Global’s directors were updated with respect to the status of the search for a potential target for the business combination. Input received from Global’s directors was material to its management’s evaluation of a potential business combination.

From the closing of the IPO through the signing of the Business Combination Agreement with Gorilla on December 21, 2021, representatives of Global contacted and were contacted by numerous individuals and entities with respect to business combination opportunities and engaged in discussions with several possible target businesses in discussions with respect to potential transactions. In all, prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, representatives of Global evaluated over 23 potential transactions from a wide range of industry segments including, but not limited to, technology, telecommunications, software, financial, and retail. Global executed over 13 non-disclosure agreements during the course and had active discussions with over nine target companies. During the target search process, Global evaluated various features of the companies under consideration, including but not limited to the target’s financial strength, total addressable market, customer solutions, internal processes, operational management, management team, and competitive barriers. Global issued over six term sheets to potential targets. Key reasons for terminating discussions with other parties included, but not limited to: overestimated potential TAM, lack of a strategic plan, lack of cultural fit, valuation expectations that were inconsistent with Global’s due diligence, and the targets were negotiating with other SPACs and/or pursuing their own IPO interests, which posed a significant transaction risk in being able to close the deal.

The following is not intended to be a list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored or discussions held by Global, but rather sets forth the significant discussions and steps that Global took to reaching the Business Combination Agreement with Gorilla.

On May 17, 2021, Mr. Jay Chandan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Global, spoke with Mr. Tomoyuki Nii, an Executive Director of SBI Holdings of Tokyo, Japan (“SBI”) and Chairman of the board of Gorilla (after his appointment as Chairman of the board of Gorilla on May 21, 2021) regarding certain portfolio companies of SBI, including Gorilla.

On May 17, 2021, Mr. Chandan immediately contacted fellow directors and officers of Global to determine Global’s interest in, exploring a potential transaction with Gorilla.

On May 17, 2021, Global’s management and Board unanimously agreed that Global was unable to prioritize entering into discussions with Gorilla at that time, given Global’s ongoing advanced discussions with multiple other potential targets. Thereafter, Mr. Stephen Cannon, Chief Operating Officer of Global, informed Mr. Chandan that he had satisfied his obligation to first present Gorilla as a potential transaction to Global, and given that Global had determined it would not proceed, Mr. Chandan could introduce Gorilla to other SPACs if he desired. Mr. Chandan proceeded to do so.

After much evaluation, based primarily on grounds that Gorilla was entrepreneur led, an EBITDA profitable business, a category leader with growth in a fast growing market, with growing top-line and underpenetrated opportunity, made Global decide to pursue Gorilla further as opposed to the other targets. By mid-June 2021, Mr. Chandan had learned from the other SPAC he had introduced to Gorilla, that this party was likely to proceed with a different merger target. At that time, Global was no longer in advanced stages of negotiations with any one specific target. Mr. Chandan informed Mr. Nii of the change in Global’s status and suggested that, if the other SPAC chose not to proceed with Gorilla, he believed Global would be interested in commencing discussions with Gorilla and could prioritize a potential transaction with Gorilla.

On June 29, 2021, Mr. Chandan learned that Gorilla had terminated negotiations with the other SPAC, and thus was available again to commence discussions with Global. Mr. Chandan had multiple conversations with Mr. Nii about a potential transaction between Gorilla and Global. These included discussions on Global’s current financials, possible global expansion potential, and potential valuation, amongst others.

On June 30, 2021, Global executed a non-disclosure agreement with Gorilla related to a potential transaction. Mr. Chandan discussed and negotiated on a high-level, possible terms of a potential transaction with Mr. Nii, Global management prepared a letter of intent consistent with those discussions, as well as discussion from the June 29, 2021 conversations, and submitted it to Gorilla for consideration.

Evaluation Criteria |  | Evaluation of Gorilla by Global Management
Large and Growing Total-Addressable Market |  | The global edge computing market is expected to see massive growth in the coming years and is anticipated to reach $250 billion by 2024, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% over the forecast period. The 5G market is poised to grow enormously, at a 55% CAGR — more than US$6 billion annually — through 2025. These trends suggest significant growth for edge AI technologies over the next 2-5 years.
Category Leader |  | As an edge AI innovation & smart solutions supplier, Gorilla has demonstrated itself to be a category leader. One of the few companies on the planet which can provide a single platform for AI lifecycle management and work cross platform(s) with cost/ performance optimization. Gorilla also provides a wide-range of data, network, and endpoint security solutions to ward off cyber-attacks, provide AI-based forensic tools and comprehensive data monitoring and alerting systems — all that can be seamlessly integrated with a wide range of devices.

Global’s management and Board members also discussed a variety of uncertainties and risks factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Level of public company readiness and internal preparation

• Ability to meet increased filing requirements, transparency, compliance, scrutiny by investors and analysts, and overall accountability for delivering on promises.

• Ability to successfully execute business strategy and global expansion plan.

• Ability to meet financial goals, improve internal systems and functions, and maintain effective leadership

• Understanding Market Risk — understanding of the current macro-economic trend and the potential for weak macroeconomic conditions globally or in parts of the world to result in lower market growth that falls below expectations and thereby generates lower revenues.

• Changes in government legislation and regulations in several jurisdictions, which may cause increased obligations and restrictions relating to protection of privacy and processing of personal data, and related challenges and costs of compliance.

• Potential for intellectual property infringement by third parties in jurisdictions in which Gorilla operates. Gorilla’s business and operating results may be adversely affected if it is not able to adequately protect its intellectual properties, such as patents, copyrights, domain names, trademarks, and other intellectual properties or confidential information or technology.

• Various other risks associated with the business of Gorilla, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The potential benefits expected to be achieved by Global and its shareholders resulting from the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, Global’s Board determined that the Business Combination was advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Global and its shareholders.

Certain Projected Financial Information

In connection with Global’s due diligence of Gorilla, Gorilla’s management provided Global with Gorilla’s historical financial performance and an internally prepared forecast for a period of five years (the “Projections”) prepared by Gorilla management in June 2021.The Projections were disclosed to Global for use as a component in its overall evaluation of Gorilla and should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Projections were reviewed by Global’s management in June 2021 and once again in November 2021.

85

Table of Contents

The Projections were not prepared with a view to public disclosure or in compliance with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Furthermore, the Projections included herein have not been updated to reflect actual results that have been set forth in Gorilla’s audited financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Neither Global, Gorilla, nor any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even if any or all of the assumptions underlying the Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Projections otherwise would not be realized.

The Projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which are included only because such projections were provided to Global, have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Gorilla’s management. Neither PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan nor any independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Projections and, accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan included in this proxy statement/prospectus, relates to Gorilla’s previously issued historical financial statements. It does not extend to the Projections and should not be read to do so.

Gorilla believes that the assumptions used to derive the Projections were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best estimates and judgments of Gorilla based on information available to management in August 2021 and November 2021 and presented, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Gorilla as of that date. The Projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the Projections cover multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. Gorilla has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Projections to anyone, including Global. Neither Gorilla’s management nor its representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Gorilla relative to the Projections. The Projections are not fact nor a guarantee of actual future performance; they are forward-looking in nature and inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the various risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” The future financial results of Gorilla may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond Gorilla’s ability to control or predict.

The Projections were initially developed in good faith by Gorilla’s management in June 2021 based on management’s reasonable best estimates and facts, circumstances and information available at the time and updated in November 2021, and considered the following material assumptions:

• No COVID-19 impact on recruitment efforts, key members are appointed in early Q1 2022, including Exec Chair, CSO, CTO, and FD, as well as key additions to the internal sales team, and no staff attrition following the Business Combination

• Active sales discussions are not adversely affected by the Business Combination or COVID-19

• Sales colleagues will become increasingly productive, reaching their peak productivity within 18 months from the date of the Business Combination

• No delivery lead times and revenues from new lines of business will start to be recognized on closing a sale

• Completion of Business Combination is in Q1 2022 with over $75 million in cash available for use by the post-combination entity

• No P&L impact of share-based incentive payments

• 75% year-over-year retention of new lines of business

• Other receivables, prepayments, restricted assets do not vary dynamically with revenue

• Other current liabilities, other non-current liabilities and deferred income tax do not vary

Table of Contents

In preparing the financial model associated with the Projections, Gorilla’s management relied on a number of factors, including its executive team’s significant experience and management’s observations regarding the emergence of decision intelligence, increased need of cybersecurity, data processing at the device level and other AI trends at the time the Projections were prepared in July 2021. While prepared and provided to Global with numerical specificity, the Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance, consumer and market trends and general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors and future events, as well as matters specific to Gorilla’s business and the market in which Gorilla operates, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Gorilla’s control. These projections and forecasts are inherently subject to change over time and are based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them and subject to interpretation by others and which estimates and assumptions are also subject to risks and uncertainties, including the following risks:

• Future valuation depends on overall market conditions

• COVID-19 impact and further lockdowns

• Decreased government infrastructure spending plans

• Recruitment & Staffing retention

• Timely completion of the merger

For additional risks that may cause the projections and the underlying estimates and assumptions to be wrong, see the risks and uncertainties contained in the sections entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors,” including but not limited to the risk factor titled “The projections and forecasts presented in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the actual results of the transaction or Gorilla’s future results.”

The Projections are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting.

Certain of the measures included in the Projections are non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by Gorilla are not reported by all of their competitors and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

Global encourages you to review the financial statements of Gorilla included in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the historical financial information included herein and the financial information in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus, and to not rely on any single financial measure.

The key elements of the Projections provided to Global are summarized below:

(1) EBITDA is defined as gross profit (loss) from operations adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and interest expense. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers calculate EBITDA in the same manner. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

(2) Gorilla estimates that it will have revenue of approximately $45.2 million and gross profit (loss) of approximately $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, Gorilla’s EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2021 is estimated to be $3.2million. EBITDA of $3.2 million was calculated by taking Gorilla’s nearest comparable GAAP measure, gross profit (loss) from operations of $6 million, and subtracting depreciation, amortization expense and an interest expense of $9.2 million.

The preliminary financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Gorilla’s management. PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. Accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

(3) Based on its results of operations to date and its best estimates for its financial performance for the remainder of the fiscal year, Gorilla expects that it will achieve the projected 2021 financial results provided in this proxy statement/prospectus in all material respects. Investors are cautioned, however, to not place undue reliance on such expectation for 2021 results. There can be no assurance the projected results for 2021 will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated.

Using a future valuation date of December 31, 2025, Gorilla’s enterprise value (“EV”) was calculated by applying 2026E revenue of $403 million to an EV / NTM revenue multiple range of 10.1x – 20.6x, based on blended upper and lower peer quartiles discussed in more detail below, which blend results in an implied midpoint future EV of $6.2 billion.

Gorilla’s implied future EV is then discounted 20% p.a. over a 4-year period to arrive at an implied discounted EV of $3.0 billion.

The fully diluted pro forma transaction value of $708 million reflects a discount of over 75% to Gorilla’s implied discounted EV of $3.0 billion as of the end of 2021.

Benchmark Analysis

Global’s management primarily relied upon a discounted future valuation methodology based on a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to the post-combination entity, and this analysis was presented to the Global Board of Directors. The relative valuation analysis was based on selected companies with publicly available information and with businesses similar or adjacent to Gorilla’s business. The selected companies were chosen because they were determined by Global’s management to be the most relevant in their particular sector (but, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the selected companies is not necessarily a direct competitor of Gorilla). Global’s management presented data from comparable companies based on various metrics, but not limited to:

• Unique product positioning, with significant differentiators to competition

• Proven track record with proven growth stories

• Generating high gross margins, path to profitability

88

Table of Contents

• Highly visible SaaS models with proven revenues

• Rapidly evolving with the market needs

• Local to global expansion proof

The table below shows a comparison of Gorilla’s pro forma EV multiples against comparable companies based on revenues and gross margins for 2020 and 2022. The 2022 values are based on projected results; the 2020 numbers are actuals. Valuations are taken from S&P Capital IQ as at November 22, 2021. Both Gorilla’s projected pro-forma 2022 EV/revenue and EV/gross margin are lower than the average for the peer group — implying that the transaction is appropriately priced.

There is considerable variability in the multiples of individual companies within the peer groups, as illustrated by the analysis of lower and upper quartile thresholds below.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Global Articles that any business acquired by Global have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. The balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement with Gorilla was approximately $163.3 million and 80% thereof represents $130.7 million. Global’s board of directors has determined that the fair market value of the Gorilla meets this test.

In making such determination, Global’s board of directors considered, among other factors, the implied valuation of Gorilla based on comparable publicly traded companies in addition to Gorilla’s likely prospects of substantial revenue generation based on the strength of its proprietary technology, its existing technology partners and sales distribution channels (as discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Global’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination and the Recommendation of the Board of Directors”). As a result, Global’s board of directors concluded that the fair market value of Gorilla was significantly in excess of 80% of the funds held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable).

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of Global’s board of directors to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals and the Nasdaq Proposal, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Global’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of holders of public shares generally. In particular:

• If the Business Combination with Gorilla or another business combination is not consummated by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Global IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $_____ million based upon the closing price of $_____ per share on Nasdaq on ________, 2022. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Global Ordinary Share will be converted into one Gorilla ordinary share. In the aggregate, the 4,187,500 Founder Shares will be converted into Global Class A ordinary share and exchanged for 4,187,500 Gorilla ordinary shares.

• The Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased 697,500 private placement units from Global for $10.00 per unit. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Global IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Nearly all of the proceeds Global received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such private

90

Table of Contents

placement units had an aggregate market value of approximately $_____ million based upon the closing price of $_____ per unit on Nasdaq on _____, 2022. The warrants underlying the private placement units will become worthless if Global does not consummate a business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant underlying the private placement unit will be exchanged for one warrant of Gorilla.

• If Global is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Global. If Global consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Global and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

• The Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of activities on Global’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Global fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the Global Articles, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Global may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global’s shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles). As of the record date, the Sponsor and Global’s officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $___________ of unpaid reimbursable expenses.

• The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders rather than liquidate;

• Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.00435 that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the Combined Company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

• In the event that a business combination is not effected, the Sponsor will not be entitled to any reimbursement of funds invested in Global. In total, the Sponsor has invested $5,325,000 for securities that would be worthless absent the completion of a business combination. The Sponsor, its affiliates and Global’s officers and directors have no loans outstanding to Global.

• The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Global’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Global’s current directors and officers.

• Global’s Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Global to fund certain capital requirements. On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan Global an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Global IPO pursuant to a promissory note that was repaid in full upon the completion of the Global IPO. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Global outside of the Trust Account.

• Jay Chandan, Global’s Chairman, will be Executive Chairman of Gorilla following the closing of the Business Combination. Such position may provide Mr. Chandan with compensation, including equity incentives. The terms of such position have not been negotiated or approved, and will not be considered by Gorilla until after the Business Combination.

91

Table of Contents

• In addition to these interests of the Sponsor and Global’s current officers and directors, the Global Articles waive the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. The “corporate opportunity” doctrine generally provides that a director or officer may not take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (1) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (2) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (3) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (4) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the self-interest of the director or officer will be brought into conflict with the director’s or officer’s duties to the corporation. However, Global does not believe that the waiver of the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine in the Global Articles had any impact on its search for a potential business combination target.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Global will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Gorilla issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Global as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Global will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Gorilla has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

• The former owners of Gorilla will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the Combined Company;

• The operations of Gorilla will represent the ongoing operations of the Combined Company; and

• Gorilla is the larger of the combining entities based on fair value, assets, revenues and profits.

The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combinations, since Global does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Gorilla ordinary shares issued over the fair value of Global’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed upon consummation.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination is not subject to any U.S. or other federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the Companies Act necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that:

The Transactions will not be consummated if Global has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Transactions.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Transactions. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except an Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the Global shareholders for a vote.

Recommendation of Global’s Board of Directors

GLOBAL’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE GLOBAL SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

No Appraisal Rights

None of the unit holders or warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection the Business Combination under the Companies Act. Global shareholders may be entitled to give notice to Global prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Global shares if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act, noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Companies Act which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. It is Global’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Global shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

Resale of Gorilla Ordinary Shares

The Gorilla ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable under the Securities Act except for shares issued to any shareholder who may be deemed for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act an “affiliate” of Global immediately prior to the Effective Time or an “affiliate” of Gorilla following the Business Combination. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, Gorilla or Global (as appropriate) and may include the executive officers, directors and significant shareholders of Gorilla or Global (as appropriate).

Stock Exchange Listing of Gorilla Ordinary Shares

Gorilla will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, prior to the Effective Time, the Gorilla ordinary shares and warrants issuable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement to be approved for listing on Nasdaq under the symbols “GRRR” and “GRRRW,” respectively, subject to official notice of issuance. Approval of the listing on Nasdaq of the Gorilla ordinary shares and warrants (subject to official notice of issuance) is a condition to each party’s obligation to complete the Business Combination.

Delisting and Deregistration of Global Securities

If the Business Combination is completed, Global units, subunits and warrants will be delisted from Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Combined Company Status as a Foreign Private Issuer under the Exchange Act

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla expects to be a “foreign private issuer” under SEC rules. Consequently, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers. The combined company will be required to file its annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. In addition, the combined company will furnish reports on Form 6-K to the SEC regarding certain information required to be publicly disclosed by the combined company that is distributed or required to be distributed by the combined company to its shareholders.

Based on its foreign private issuer status, the combined company will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as a U.S. company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. The combined company will also not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which addresses certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, among other matters, the combined company officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of the Gorilla ordinary shares.

94

Given the substantial number of Gorilla ordinary shares that Gorilla will issue in the Business Combination to Global shareholders who are U.S. residents and the prospective, increased U.S.-oriented profile of the combined company’s officers and directors, assets and business administration, it is possible that the combined company will lose its status as a foreign private issuer after the Business Combination, potentially as soon as December 31, 2022. If that happens, the combined company will no longer be exempt from such rules and, among other things, will be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing interim financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States, as well as annual reports on Form 10-K. The combined company’s qualification for foreign private issuer status will be tested again as of June 30, 2022, (the final business day of the second fiscal quarter in 2022) to determine whether the combined company will instead be subject to the reporting requirements applicable to U.S. companies registered under the Exchange Act beginning at the start of 2022. If it no longer meets the definition of a “foreign private issuer” as of that test date, the combined company will begin to be required to file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, and will be required to continue to file quarterly reports with the SEC thereafter.

Despite its initial exemption due to its foreign private issuer status, Gorilla, and following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company, nevertheless expects to issue interim quarterly financial information publicly and to furnish it to the SEC on Form 6-K.

Combined Company Status as an Emerging Growth Company under U.S. Federal Securities Laws and Related Implications

Each of Global and Gorilla is, and, following the Business Combination, the combined company will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by JOBS Act. As such, the combined company will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the combined company’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the combined company’s securities and the prices of the combined company’s securities may be more volatile.

The combined company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the combined company’s initial public offering, (b) in which the combined company’s has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which the combined company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the combined company’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the combined company has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

PROPOSAL TWO — THE CHARTER PROPOSALS

The Charter Proposals, if approved, will approve the following material differences between the Global Articles and the Gorilla Articles to be in effect following the Business Combination:

• the name of the new public entity will be “Gorilla Technology Group Inc.” as opposed to “Global SPAC Partners Co.”;

• the Gorilla Articles provide for one class of ordinary shares as opposed to the two classes of Global Ordinary Share provided for in the Global Articles;

• Gorilla’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Global’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and

• the Gorilla Articles do not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that the Global Articles contain.

In the judgment of Global’s board of directors, the Charter Proposals are desirable for the following reasons:

• the name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the Business Combination and the combined business going forward;

• the single class of ordinary shares is desirable because all shares of Class B ordinary share will be exchanged for Gorilla ordinary shares upon the closing of the Business Combination and because it will allow Gorilla to have a streamlined capital structure; and

• the provisions that relate to the operation of Global as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination would not be applicable after the Business Combination (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).

For a comparison of the Global Articles and Gorilla Articles, see “Comparison of Rights of Gorilla Shareholders and Global Shareholders.”

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Charter Proposals is a condition to the adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and vice versa. Accordingly, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Proposals will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting.

A copy of the Gorilla Articles, as will be in effect assuming approval of all of the Charter Proposals and upon consummation of the Transactions, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the following material differences between the Global Articles and the Gorilla Articles to be in effect following the Business Combination be approved in all respects:

• the name of the new public entity will be “Gorilla Technology Group Inc.” as opposed to “Global SPAC Partners Co.”;

• the Gorilla Articles provide for one class of ordinary shares as opposed to the two classes of Global Ordinary Share provided for in the Global Articles;

• Gorilla’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Global’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and

• the Gorilla Articles do not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that the Global Articles contains.”

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

The closing of the Merger will take place on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and summarized below under the subsection entitled “— Conditions to Closing,” unless Global and Gorilla agree in writing to another time or unless the Business Combination Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.

The units sold in the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $167,500,000. I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-249465). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 8, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of its initial public offering, Global consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 697,500 private placement units to the Sponsor and I-Bankers at $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $6,975,000. The issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Simultaneously with the consummation of its initial public offering, Global issued 100,000 Class B ordinary shares to I-Bankers as representative shares. I-Bankers has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without Global’s prior consent until the completion of its initial business combination. In addition, I-Bankers has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of Global’s initial business combination, (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if Global fails to complete its initial business combination by April 13, 2022, and (iii) to vote in favor of its initial business combination with respect to such shares if Global submits its initial business combination to its public shareholders for a vote.

Of the gross proceeds received from the initial public offering, and the sale of private placement units, $169,175,000 was placed in Global’s Trust Account.

Global may withdraw from the Trust Account interest earned on the funds held therein necessary to pay its income taxes, if any. Except as described in the prospectus for Global’s IPO and described in the subsection below entitled “Global’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and Global’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon its failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period.

The remaining proceeds from the Global IPO and simultaneous private placement, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs and expenses, became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The target business or businesses that Global acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions held in trust and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although Global may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. Global’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with Gorilla as described in the section entitled “Proposal One — The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test” above.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combination

Under the Global Articles, Global must seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or do not vote at all, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for the Global IPO. Accordingly, in connection with the Business Combination, the Global public shareholders may seek to have their public shares redeemed for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Shareholders — Redemption Rights.”

Voting in Connection with the Shareholder Meeting

In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, including the vote with respect to the Business Combination Proposal, Global shareholders prior to its initial public offering and its officers and directors have each agreed to vote their Global shares in favor of such proposed Business Combination.

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Global or its securities and subject to certain other conditions and procedures, the Global initial shareholders, its officers and directors, Gorilla shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire ordinary shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination Proposal vote in its favor and that the conditions to the closing of the Business Combination otherwise will be met, where it appears that such requirements or conditions would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, include arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Global Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it more likely that the conditions to the closing of the Business Combination are met.

No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Global will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Under the Global Articles, if Global does not complete the Business Combination with Gorilla or another initial business combination by April 13, 2022 (or such later date as may be approved by Global shareholders in an amendment to the Global Articles), Global will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Global’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in each case above) to Global’s obligations under the Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. At such time, the Global warrants will expire. Holders of warrants will receive nothing upon a liquidation and the warrants will be worthless.

Table of Contents

Each of the initial shareholders of Global and its officers and directors has agreed to waive its rights to participate in any distribution from the Trust Account or other assets with respect to the shares held by them prior to the Global IPO. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Global warrants, which will expire worthless if Global is liquidated.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Global’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Global public shareholders. Although Global has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses Global has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, and although Global will seek such waivers from vendors it engages in the future, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by Global for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to it, but Global cannot ensure that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations if it is required to do so. Additionally there are two exceptions to the Sponsor’s indemnity: the Sponsor will have no liability (1) as to any claimed amounts owed to a target business or vendor or other entity who has executed an agreement with Global waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or (2) as to any claims under the indemnity with the underwriters of Global’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, the Sponsor will not be liable to the Global public shareholders and instead will only have liability to Global. Furthermore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations if it is required to as the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Global and Global has not taken any further steps to ensure that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that arise. Accordingly, the actual per-share redemption price could be less than approximately $10.10, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Additionally, if Global is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Global’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Global’s shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Global cannot assure you it will be able to return to the Global public shareholders at least approximately $10.10 per share. Global’s public shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of its failure to complete a business combination within the required time period or if the shareholders properly seek to have Global redeem their respective shares for cash upon a business combination which is actually completed by Global. In no other circumstances does a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

If Global is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor, creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Global’s shareholders. Because Global intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public shareholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public shareholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, Global’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Global’s creditors and/or may be viewed as having acted in bad faith, which may subject Global and Gorilla to claims of punitive damages. Global cannot assure you that such claims will not be brought against it.

Global will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account plus the up to $100,000 of interest earned on the funds in the trust account that Global may use for liquidation and dissolution expenses.

Employees

Global has three executive officers. Members of Global’s management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Global’s matters but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Global’s affairs until Global has completed its initial business combination. The amount of time that any member of Global’s management team devotes in any time period varies based on the current stage of the business combination process.

GORILLA’S BUSINESS

In this section the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Gorilla.

Gorilla is a leading market provider of video intelligence, Internet of Things (“IoT”) security, edge AI data analytics and operational technology (“OT”) security solutions and services in Asia Pacific with operations and established distribution and sales channels in other key regions around the world, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.

We have been working in the field of video analytics since our incorporation in 2001. We have used this core competence to produce revolutionary and transformational technology using artificial intelligence (“AI”) and edge AI computing as video technologies transitioned from analog to digital formats.

Our established technologies in edge AI computing, video analytics, and OT security solutions and services form the foundation of our line of product and service offerings for a wide range of commercial, industrial, municipal and government customers. To provide end-to-end solutions for various sectors, we partner with industry-leading firms such as cloud infrastructure providers, telecoms, chipset vendors and storage manufacturers.

Our proprietary machine learning and deep learning algorithms are foundational to our products and services, which enable our customers to securely move, store and analyze data for use in biometric authentication, account management, device management, business intelligence, and other applications.

History

Gorilla was incorporated in 2001 as a Cayman Islands exempted company. Our initial operations focused on supporting broadcasting firms with video content for storage, labeling, processing and retrieval. Gorilla’s video analysis and AI capabilities were built on this foundation. We invested in research and development to enhance our platform to deploy facial recognition technology in 2010 as Gorilla’s expertise developed. Since then, we have grown our expertise in IoT, video intelligence, edge AI computing and cybersecurity, with product and service offerings spanning a wide range of sectors and customers.

113

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, Gorilla has been deploying our products and solutions in over 900 retail stores, 100 offices, 6 highways, 22 train station, 97 parking buildings, 2 international airports, 9 ports, 300 city traffic, 6 logistics of air-freight and container ships, seven city police departments, five national law enforcement agencies, one national weather bureau, one ocean affairs council, and 12 correctional facilities, among many other vertical entities, to collect, process and analyze raw data in order to create actionable data points for our customers.

An Overview of Our Business

Edge AI significantly underlies Gorilla’s business offering. When data is processed at a network’s “edge” (or where the data is generated and consumed) on devices where it was originally created it lessens the need for additional computation or power requirements or traditional hardware and software, not to mention the bandwidth needed in constantly pushing video data from edge to server. There are four primary advantages to moving AI processing to the edge:

• Highly economical and cost-effective. Moving AI processing to the edge reduces the quantity of data processed by larger devices, which have become computationally more powerful, and reduces the volume of data being transferred to the cloud.

• Faster speeds for processing and storage. Latency for real-time processing is minimized by keeping and processing data closer to the edge.

• Ensures security and reduces disruption. Keeping data on the local device and dispersing storage, processing and applications across a variety of devices and data centers ensures security and prevents the entire network from being brought down by a single outage.

• Reliable connections and workflows. Our proprietary edge AI virtualization technology enables a highly dependable mesh architecture for distributed computing and storage, especially inside the low latency of a 5G Private Network, and minimizes workflow interruptions due to network outages.

AI Lifecycle Framework: Turning Video & Network Intelligence into Actionable Insights Using a Big Data Platform

Edge AI Computing

By boosting accuracy and minimizing human error through automation, edge AI and edge computing devices help numerous sectors become more efficient and safer. According to MarketsandMarkets Research, “edge AI may considerably increase surveillance and monitoring while minimizing the amount of raw data that is transmitted to the cloud leading to the adoption of edge AI for video surveillance.” Machine learning intelligent camera systems can gather raw data, process it, and analyze it using facial recognition to identify persons of interest and questionable actions that may be occurring immediately at the edge, due to the emergence of edge AI.

Table of Contents

Numerous industries across the board are already seeing the potential of these edge computing devices to benefit people’s daily life. Transportation/driverless cars, education, medical/healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing/factories, retail/shopping and video surveillance are all early users of edge AI and edge computing technologies.

As edge AI and video analytics grow more entwined, Fortune Business Insights forecasts a 21.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the worldwide video analytics market to 2027. Additionally, increased usage of video analysis solutions in retail, healthcare, building and construction, and other sectors is offering attractive prospects for market participants.

To make the most of these new trends, Gorilla is increasingly turning to AI at the edge. Gorilla’s technology in edge AI computing makes up a comprehensive video surveillance system that is designed for CPU efficiency.

AI Big Data Platform

Edge AI devices not only process various types of structured data but can also analyze and transform the unstructured video and image data into structured data via deep learning, a form of AI technology.

Once processed, the data is encrypted and sent with the time of collection as an event for analysis in vertical application services built on top of Gorilla’s AI Big Data Platform, which is a distributed system that can be easily scaled out by adding more nodes to improve its capacity and computation power. It can accommodate structured data, such as relational database, CSV/Excel/JSON/XML files and OpenAPI, and unstructured data such as video, images and text from edge AI devices and various other heterogeneous data sources. The data can be pre-processed according to the characteristics of the data source to ensure consistency and availability during the import process.

115

Table of Contents

After data is imported into the AI Big Data Platform, it will be indexed according to its time, location information, and the characteristics of each data field to form a temporal-spatial database, so that we can build various vertical applications and services to process, correlate and analyze data on top of the platform.

The core of the Gorilla AI Big Data Platform is AI Hyper Learning. After the data is collected by the edge device being sent to the Big Data Platform, in addition to analyzing with pre-trained analysis models, you can also use the AI Hyper Learning core to train a more accurate AI algorithm based on the field-specific data and then apply the new AI model to the edge AI device to form a complete AI Lifecycle. Integrating the features of 5G multi-access edge computing (MEC), data can stay in the field and the AI Hyper Learning core can be deployed to the MEC Server on the field side. In this way, data privacy and real-time and in-field training can be taken into account at the same time.

Vertical AI Application Services

We are building Vertical AI Application on the rapidly evolving Hybrid Edge-Cloud environment, which will eventually overlap with our core technology. Multiple vertical applications will be built on top of the AI Big Data Platform to provide real-time and statistics AI data and visualization dashboard, which will support both video analytics data and cybersecurity analytics AI data.

Video Analytics

Intelligent video analytics (IVAs) are AI models that can scan video for patterns and distinguish specific items using AI algorithms and metadata. The video data can then be queried and searched for various/specific outcomes after it has been processed.

Gorilla is a one of the leading companies in combining our video analytic specialization of over 40 IVAs with leading industrial PCs, network appliances, car PCs and servers from various partners. Given the digital transformations that COVID-19 has prompted, the delivery and quick deployment of cutting-edge AI appliances that focus on physical, data, and network security has proven invaluable.

Based on the categories below, video is processed to generate analytic data. Video analytics for various verticals will be launched in tandem with the launch of vertical applications on a well-defined timeline:

• Behavioral Analytics

• People/Face Recognition

• Vehicle Analysis

• Object Recognition

• Business Intelligence

Behavioral Analytics

Algorithms are used in these analytics to look for specific behavior. A behavior might be characterized as action over time. As a result, each behavior analytics algorithm requires more than one frame from the video to identify whether or not an event or behavior has occurred. Behavior analytics algorithms search for changes from frame to frame over time in frames to detect a very particular and predefined event or activity.

The following behavior analytics algorithms are used in our solutions:

• The People Counting IVA detects and counts people for a specified amount of time as they enter a zone and/or cross a line that users define in the software.

• The Line Crossing IVA detects when people cross a line (or lines) of user-defined length and position.

• The Intrusion Detection IVA monitors user-created zones to detect any activity or entries by moving objects (like people).

• The Direction Detection IVA monitors a user-created zone for people moving within the zone and in the marked direction. Movements in the opposite direction do not trigger an alert.

• The Direction Violation Detection IVA operates the same as the Direction Detection IVA but also detects and alerts to movements in the opposite direction. Security checks at airports and other transportation hubs benefit from this type of IVA.

• The Loitering Detection IVA monitors figures or people entering and then remaining in a user-created zone for a specified period.

People/Face Recognition

We categorize People/Face Recognition IVAs into two core groups:

• The Human Detection IVA detects human figures within the video. Once detected, features like clothing color, gender, eyewear, masks and age group can be detected as well.

• The Face Recognition IVA, which is subject to the privacy regulation applied to each region, recognizes and identifies faces and is used in conjunction with our Business Automation Platform (BAP) software and its facial recognition database. While there are a myriad of uses for this, Face Recognition IVAs are often used for watch lists, VIP identification, attendance systems and black lists.

120

Table of Contents

Vehicle Analysis

Vehicle analysis IVAs have been widely deployed by transportation authorities to keep traffic flowing smoothly, reduce traffic violations and assist with criminal investigations. These IVAs generate real-time events and statistical data that can be used to make quick decisions and deploy fewer workers.

• The Vehicle Classification IVA detects vehicle types, e.g. motorbikes, cars and buses.

• The Vehicle Direction Detection & Counting IVA counts the number of vehicles moving in a specific direction.

• The Traffic Violation Detection IVA recognizes the vehicles that violate traffic regulations or enter into prohibited areas.

• The License Plate Recognition IVA recognizes license plates on static or moving vehicles under the privacy regulation applied to each region.

Object Recognition

Similar to the People/Face Recognition IVAs, the Object Recognition IVAs utilize algorithms to train software to detect and recognize specific objects. Once trained, the IVAs generate real-time recognition and identification of objects within the parameters set by the end-user for a number of uses — most notably, the identification of weapons for immediate security response.

Business Intelligence

Gorilla’s business intelligence analytics models provide visual overviews of top-performing traffic, people count, gender, and ages for single and multi-store environments to assist clients in better target product marketing strategies, especially when combined with POS data, conversion rate, and consumer preference analysis. Additionally, clients utilize Gorilla’s business intelligence analytics models to further optimize shop layout, product promotion, and marketing/advertising strategy and compare analytics data from one period of time to another and across multiple data sources.

In almost every retail or commercial scenario, business intelligence dashboards that present data about numerous business activities are a valuable asset.

IT-OT Security Convergence

Industrial systems are becoming increasingly connected in order to create powerful, networked businesses, but they are also becoming more vulnerable to cyber assaults. When an OT network is connected to an IT network, the OT network and any connected OT devices are instantaneously exposed to the dangerous landscape. Malicious attacks are always developing and other risk factors such as the fact that certain endpoints are running old software make them more vulnerable to hackers. Furthermore, the growing use of third-party suppliers to gain remote access to OT networks widens the attack surface and introduces new vulnerabilities.

The enormous cost of industrial equipment, as well as the potential for a cyber-attack to destroy businesses and communities, are important considerations for companies trying to define their industrial networks.

The blending of various IT and OT technologies into an integrated system, fueled by digital transformation, is known as security convergence. Having a strong security convergence plan in place and providing endpoint protection would secure processes, people and profits while lowering security vulnerabilities and incidents dramatically. Security convergence provides businesses with a unified picture of industrial systems, as well as process management solutions that ensure accurate data is supplied to people, machines, switches, sensors and devices.

Table of Contents

AI algorithms for anomaly detection applied to both network and endpoints are at the heart of Gorilla IT-OT Security Convergence, allowing system administrators and security engineers to detect suspicious behaviors in real time and respond quickly to reduce security risk and damage caused by hackers or malware. These algorithms can be used to offer AI features to third-party software and hardware platforms, in addition to Gorilla’s own products and solutions.

Network Anomaly Detection

A network anomaly is a state or condition in which network operation deviates from normal. Many network security devices compare network packets for known anomalies using rules or signatures. We employ AI to learn diverse anomalous in network behaviors in order to create AI models for network anomaly detection. These AI models can detect a variety of anomalous network behaviors, including denial of service, network topology abnormality, abnormal network traffic, abnormal communication protocol, network intrusion, and so on.

Endpoint Malware and Suspicious Behavior Detection

Traditional antivirus software detects harmful programs in the endpoint environment mostly through signatures or rules. The advantage of this strategy is that it can detect malware rapidly and effectively, but the disadvantage is that it has a very poor detection rate for unknown malware.

We collect a huge number of harmful programs and footprints created by various malicious behaviors in the endpoint environment and train AI models to detect malicious programs and behaviors using Deep Learning technology. The key benefit of employing these AI models is that they still have a high detection rate when confronted with unknown dangerous programs or behaviors; therefore, there is no need to update virus patterns or detection criteria on a regular basis.

Gorilla is recruiting key salesforce in the United States to allow cross-ecosystem relationships that are reshaping sectors and introducing new business models. We are strategically hiring key sales heads in important regions in Europe and the Middle Ease, with a focus on backend infrastructure. In Asia, we are growing market access and promoting innovation by building on existing ties in the Asia Pacific region.

Our sales and marketing expenditures have begun to grow, with a significant increase in staff specializing in such operations, increasing from 97 to 137 employees from 2019 to 2020. We intend to engage with new customer segments, expand existing customer segments and continue to leverage sales and lead generation activities.

We are pursuing collaborative partnerships with other key players in sectors relating to chipset production, cloud services, telecommunications and consumer devices.

To ensure uptake and easy integration of our products, Gorilla will seek to pair our video analysis expertise with leading industrial IT and OT infrastructures. We anticipate that Gorilla’s product and service offerings will be able to operate with third-party products and services, as well as pre-existing infrastructure, due to these strategic alliances, partnerships and other similar arrangements.

This strategy is designed to help Gorilla increase the likely that its potential future innovations are adopted in a timely and cost-effective manner, avoiding resistance from the market due to incompatibilities with their respective systems.

Marketing and Sales

Within Asia, Gorilla has established a strong brand and is recognized as one of the leading companies in edge AI technology, IoT technologies and cybersecurity products and services. Gorilla believes that its reputation as a reliable and proven partner in Asia, as well as its well-publicized ties with top firms like Intel and Telstra, will allow for further worldwide brand recognition.

Gorilla is developing new AI models for all verticals in Asia’s rising economies, leveraging its extensive manufacturing supply chain to produce AI Appliances and AI SaaS that can be delivered and implemented quickly in the United States and European markets. Gorilla is accelerating cooperative growth by utilizing hybrid cloud business infrastructure, which comprises Edge, Private Cloud and Public Cloud.

In each location, Gorilla has sales, pre-sales and after-sales teams that provide around the clock service. Gorilla regional sales and support teams educate and collaborate with all reseller and deployment partners to discover the right customers and deliver quality service under reseller and/or memorandum of understanding agreements.

The majority of Gorilla’s global sales forces are based in Taiwan, Tokyo, Japan and Bangkok, Thailand (covering Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia). We plan to expand our sales force in United Kingdom to cover European business opportunities, as well as in certain regions of the United States to expand our business into North America.

Research and Development

Gorilla has invested a significant amount of time and resources into research and development in order to expand our product line, improve our current product and service offerings and further drive our efficiency.

Our development process takes place at our headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan and, as of June 30, 2021, our expenses for R&D activities constitute approximately 48.03% of our revenue. As we reach the maturity of our product offerings, R&D expenses will likely decrease, but will continually constitute a large portion of our use of proceeds in order to maintain our innovative approach to the market.

As of June 30, 2021, we had more than 200 employees within our R&D department, and approximately 65% of the R&D employees hold master degrees or philosophy doctor degrees in ICT, Physics or Math. Approximately 60% of our R&D employees have over 20 years of professional experience in the relevant vertical fields.

Intellectual Property

The ability of Gorilla to develop and maintain proprietary IT and OT is crucial to our success.

Gorilla currently holds 24 patents and 7 applications for patents currently under review. Of the total 31 patents or patent applications, 12 are located in Taiwan, 10 in China, 7 in the United States, 1 in Japan and 1 in Europe. Our patents relate hardware platforms, AI models, AI appliances and AI SaaS modules.

In addition to our patents, Gorilla relies on copyright and trademarks to protect our software and marketing materials. Gorilla currently holds 33 trademarks, all of which are granted. Out of the total 33 trademarks, 13 are located in Taiwan, 6 in the United States, 10 in China, 2 in Australia, 1 in Japan and 1 in Europe. Gorilla currently holds 5 software copyrights in China. Also, Gorilla currently holds 13 different domain names covering our business operations, 8 of which are currently not in use.

Regulation

Data Privacy

Gorilla primarily deals with significant amounts of data, including vehicle data and personal identifiable information (“PII”), which are subject to emerging regulatory federal, state, national and international frameworks that are prone to constant change.

To operate its business, Gorilla’s devices receive, process and share video data and depending on the natural of such data, may be subject to the EU and UK GDPR, the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications, California’s CCPA promoting open access to data and neutrality. Neither any data received by Gorilla’s devices nor any PII contained therein is transmitted to, or stored in Gorilla’s servers.

Currently, in certain markets such as the U.K. and the U.S., Gorilla’s services only deal with images and videos without PII. For example, the edge AI computing detects the number of people walking by a certain area during a period of time to control the brightness of street lamps for the energy saving purpose. However, the edge AI computing applied in such markets does not catch clear facial images of such pedestrians so no PII is collected, processed or shared accordingly. If in the future other applications of the edge AI computing involving PII are desired by the U.K. or the U.S. customers, local data privacy regulations will apply.

In Taiwan, the major market where Gorilla’s revenues come from, the facial recognition technology is comprehensively used by Gorilla’s customers to collect and process PII, therefore Gorilla and its customers are subject to Taiwan’s Personal Data Protection Act and the Enforcement Rules thereof.

In other markets where Gorilla only supplies hardware devices to local service integrators, except that such hardware devices will be in compliance with EU ETSI Standards, it is local integrators’ sole discretion whether to activate any function to collect, process or share PII, and if yes, it is local integrators’ responsibility to obtain sufficient assurances from data providers that the subject of the date has been provided with clear and appropriate notice and explicitly consented to provide such data, or with sufficient authorization under applicable laws and regulations.

Criminal Investigation and Security Surveillance

Gorilla’s services are utilized by its customers who are regulatory authorities empowered to conduct criminal investigations and transportation/public facilities (airports, seaports, railway stations and hospitals) authorized to conduct security surveillance for the protection of public safety. Gorilla’s processing and sharing of data with such customers are subject to local laws and regulations regarding human right protection. Gorilla ensures that all services and data provided to its customers are authorized by applicable laws and/or court writs.

Government Procurement Laws

Many customers of Gorilla are government agencies or state-owned companies in Taiwan. The procurement of Gorilla’s services and/or products by such customers is subject to the Government Procurement Act of Taiwan and public tender processes. Subject to the tendering agencies’ discretion and the rules set forth in the tender documents,

130

Table of Contents

ownership of 30% or above of the equity interests or controlling power in Gorilla by ultimate beneficiaries who are nationals or corporations of the People’s Republic of China may disqualify Gorilla from tendering such bids, or constitute a termination cause of the awarded contracts.

Radio Frequency Regulation

Radio frequency devices Gorilla imports, exports, installs and uses are subject to local radio frequency regulations, approvals authorizations and/or certifications. Gorilla compliances with the standards, criteria and procedures regarding radio frequency devices promulgated by various regulators including the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S., European Commission and National Communications Commission of Taiwan.

Supply Chain Restrictions

As there are national security concerns that the hardware devices might automatically collect, process and transmit data to People’s Republic of China, in many service contracts with Taiwan government agencies and state-owned companies, it is expressly stated that no hardware or equipment supplied by People’s Republic of China’s manufacturers is allowed for the services.

Subsidiaries

The following diagram shows the current ownership structure of Gorilla Technology Group Inc. and all subsidiaries thereof.

For more information about the ownership interests of Gorilla Technology Group Inc., prior to business combination, please see section entitled “Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Global, Gorilla and the Combined Company.”

Facilities

Our headquarters are located in Taipei, Taiwan, where we own an office with approximately 1,910.4 square meters. Our headquarters houses our Chief Executive Officer’s office and business units that operate at our headquarters include Video IoT & Security Convergence, R&D, general administrative, human resources and finance & accounting.

131

Table of Contents

We lease additional offices in the United States and around the world, including in New Taipei City, China, Hong Kong and Japan.

We lease part of our facilities and own real property in Taipei, Taiwan, where our headquarters are located. We intend to procure additional space as we add employees and expand geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, if necessary, additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate any expansion of our business.

Legal Proceedings

Gorilla may become involved in actions, claims, litigation, and other legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of its business from time to time, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, contract or warranty breaches, or employment-related matters. Gorilla is not currently a party to any actions, claims, suits, or other legal procedures whose conclusion, if not determined in its favor, would have a major adverse effect on Gorilla’s business, financial condition, or results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate.

GLOBAL’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of Global’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Global’s financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Global’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Global.

Overview

Global is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 6, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. Global will effectuate its business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Global IPO and the sale of the private placement units, its shares, debt or a combination of cash, share and debt.

Global expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its acquisition plans. Global cannot assure you that its plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

Global has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The only activities through September 30, 2021 were activities related to its formation, the Global IPO and search for a prospective initial business combination target. Global does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination. It will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. It will incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses for due diligence on prospective targets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Global had net income of $1,229,478, which consisted of $17,119 in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, $19 in interest earned in our operating bank account, and $1,552,928 in change in fair value of warrants, offset by $340,588 in operating costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Global had net income of $9,752,573, which consisted of $20,732 in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, $33 in interest earned in its operating bank account, and $11,325,264 in change in fair value of warrants, offset by $613,445 in formation and operating costs, and $980,011 in warrant issuance costs.

For the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, Global had net loss of $2,238, which consisted of $2,238 in formation and operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, Global had cash of approximately $0.5 million. Until the consummation of the Global IPO, Global’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Global IPO, partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $169,175,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account, and its liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account.

Global intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable) to complete its initial business combination. To the extent that its shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies.

133

Table of Contents

Global intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

In order to finance transactions costs in connection with Global’s initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of Global’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Global funds as may be required. If Global completes its initial business combination, it would repay the working capital loans. In the event that a business combination does not close, Global may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender at the time of an initial business combination. The units would be identical to the private placement units sold in the private placement.

Global does not believe it will need to raise additional funds following the Global IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if its estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, it may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its initial business combination. Moreover, Global may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its initial business combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public warrants upon completion of its initial business combination, in which case it may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, Global intends to target businesses larger than it could acquire with the net proceeds of the Global IPO and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Global would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of its initial business combination. If Global is unable to complete an initial 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 its initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, Global may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Class A Ordinary Shares (Underlying the Public Subunits) Subject to Possible Redemption

Global accounts for its Class A ordinary shares (underlying the public subunits) subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Global’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Global’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of Global’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.10 per share (plus any interest earned on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of Global’s balance sheets.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Global evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at inception and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value

134

Table of Contents

reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. Global applies this guidance to allocate IPO proceeds from the units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating IPO proceeds first to fair value of the warrants and then the Class A ordinary shares.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Global complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable public share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income (loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the public Class A redeemable shares and the non-redeemable shares, Global first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, Global split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 77% for the Class A redeemable public shares and 23% for the non-redeemable shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 68% for the Class A redeemable public shares and 32% for the non-redeemable shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflective of the respective participation rights.

The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, (ii) exercise of overallotment option granted in connection with the IPO and (iii) private placement since the exercise price of the warrants is higher than the market price.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on April 8, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, the representative shares, and the private placement units and its underlying securities are entitled to certain registration rights. Global will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to such registration rights.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $3,350,000 following the consummation of the Global IPO and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, the underwriters also received 100,000 representative shares upon the consummation of the IPO.

Additionally, the underwriter will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and partial exercise of the over-allotment option, or $5,862,500, upon the completion of Global’s initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The underwriter has agreed that the deferred underwriting discount will be reduced pro rata for redemptions from the Trust Account prior to completion of the initial business combination, up to a maximum reduction of 20%. In addition, the underwriter has agreed that Global may allocate up to 30% of the net deferred underwriting commissions, after any reductions due to redemptions, to a firm or firms who assists Global in connection with completing the initial business combination.

GORILLA’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of Gorilla’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section titled “Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information with respect to Gorilla’s planned investments in its research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative functions, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. In this section “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Gorilla.

Overview

Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (Gorilla) is a market leading provider of video intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) security and edge content management in the Asia Pacific region with operations and established distribution and sales channels in other key regions across the globe.

We have operated in the field of video analytics since our incorporation in 2001. As video moved from analog to digital formats, we leveraged this core competency to create innovative and business transformative technology utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and edge AI computing.

Our developed technologies in edge AI computing, video analytics and operational technology (OT) security are the backbone of our suite of product and service solutions for our diversified customer base of commercial, industrial, municipal and government entities. We partner with industry leading companies from cloud infrastructure providers, telecoms, chipset vendors and storage manufacturers to provide end-to-end solutions for different verticals. Our machine learning and deep learning proprietary algorithms underpin our product and service offerings which help our customers to securely move, store and analyze data for actionable use in biometric authentication, account management, device management, business intelligence, and other applications.

We generate our revenue from the sale of hardware, software and services to customers directly under sale contracts and through resellers and distributors under reseller agreements and distribution and software license agreements. For additional details see the section titled “— Sales and Marketing” below.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On December 21, 2021, Gorilla entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Global SPAC Partners Co. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla, will merge with and into Global SPAC with Global SPAC surviving the merger. As a result of the Business Combination, and upon consummation of the Business Combination and other transactions contemplated thereof, Global SPAC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorilla, with the security holders of Global SPAC becoming security holders of Gorilla.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Global will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Gorilla issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Global as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Global will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, the Gorilla ordinary shares would be registered under the Exchange Act and listed on Nasdaq, which would require Gorilla to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Gorilla expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Key Factors Affecting Gorilla’s Performance

The performance of our business depends on a number of factors, such as the following.

Adoption of Gorilla’s product and service offering

Gorilla’s future success depends in a large part on the market adoption of our product and services and the level to which they can be integrated into their pre-existing IT and OT infrastructure. While Gorilla sees growing demand for our platform, particularly from large enterprises, seeking access to our product and service offerings, it is difficult to predict customer adoption rates and future demand, we believe that the benefits of our platform put it in a strong position to capture the significant market opportunity ahead.

Recurring revenue from existing customers

Gorilla’s diverse base of customers represents a significant opportunity for further adoption of our broad product and service offerings. While we have seen an increase in the number of our customers, we believe that there is a substantial opportunity to expand the sale of our products and services among our existing customers. We plan to continue investing in our direct sales force to encourage increased sales among our existing customers.

Once utilized, Gorilla’s customers often expand their use more broadly within the enterprise as they identify new use cases and realize the benefits of our products and services. In any given period, there is a risk that customer consumption of our products and services will be lower than we expect, which may cause fluctuations in Gorilla’s revenue and results of operations. Gorilla’s ability to increase usage of our products and services by existing customers, and, in particular, by large enterprise customers, will depend on a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction, competition, pricing, overall changes in our customers’ spending levels and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

Expansion of Gorilla’s geographic coverage and customer base/Acquiring new customers

We believe there is a substantial opportunity to further grow our customer base by continuing to make significant investments in sales, marketing and brand awareness. Gorilla’s ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors, including our success in recruiting and scaling our sales and marketing organization and competitive dynamics in our target markets. We intend to expand our direct sales force, with a focus on increasing sales in targeted geographies and customer segments. We may not achieve anticipated revenue growth from expanding our sales force to focus on large enterprises if we are unable to hire, develop, integrate, and retain talented and effective sales personnel; if our new and existing sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time; or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective.

Investing in growth and scaling our business

We are focused on our long-term revenue potential. We believe that our market opportunity is large, and we will continue to invest significantly in scaling across all organizational functions in order to grow our operations both domestically and internationally. We have a history of introducing successful new features and capabilities on our platform, and we intend to continue to invest heavily into research and development and sales and marketing to grow our business to take advantage of our expansive market opportunity rather than optimize for profitability or cash flow in the near future.

Key Business Metric(s)

Gorilla monitors the key business metric set forth below to help it evaluate its business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of its sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. The calculation of the key metric discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, securities analysts or investors.

137

Table of Contents

Number of contracts of sale

Gorilla will continue to monitor the number of direct and indirect agreements with customers for the provision of our suite of products and services. The number of agreements will directly impact the results of operations, including revenues and gross margins for the foreseeable future.

Number of strategic partnerships with industry leaders

Gorilla will monitor the number of partnerships held with leading companies within the cloud infrastructure providers, telecoms, chipset vendors and storage manufacturers for the provision of our technology. The number of partnerships will influence the dissemination of our product and service offering and will impact future revenue and gross margins.

Number of US & European Clients

Gorilla will monitor the number of clients within the US and EU regions for the provision of our product and service offering. The number of clients within these regions will determine the success of our efforts to broaden our client base and will impact future revenue and gross margins.

Impact of COVID-19

Our financial performance has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The Group’s significant operation is in Taiwan, which has been affected by the spread of COVID-19 since 2020. More broadly, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all countries of the world, and resulted in border closures, production stoppages, workplace closures, movement controls and other measures imposed by the various governments.

Resultantly, COVID-19 has disrupted our operations and the operations of our suppliers, customers, and other business partners and may continue to do so for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns.

Gorilla has experienced, and may continue to experience, a modest adverse impact on certain parts of its business following the implementation of shelter-in-place orders to mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19, including a lengthening of the sales cycle for some prospective customers and delays in the delivery of professional services and trainings to Gorilla’s customers. Gorilla has also experienced, and may continue to experience, a modest positive impact on other aspects of its business, including an increase in consumption of its service and product offering by new and existing customers.

Moreover, Gorilla has seen slower growth in certain operating expenses due to reduced business travel, deferred hiring for some positions and the virtualization or cancellation of customer and employee events. While a reduction in operating expenses may have an immediate positive impact on our results of operations, we do not yet have visibility into the full impact this will have on our business. We cannot predict how long we will continue to experience these impacts as shelter-in-place orders and other related measures are expected to change over time. Our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition have not been adversely impacted to date. However, as certain of our customers or partners experience downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations or revenue resulting from the spread of COVID-19, they may continue to decrease or delay their spending, request pricing discounts, or seek renegotiations of their contracts, any of which may result in decreased revenue and cash receipts for Gorilla. In addition, we may experience customer losses, including due to customer bankruptcies or customers ceasing operations, which may result in an inability to collect accounts receivable from these customers. In addition, in response to the spread of COVID-19, we have required substantially all of our employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus to our employees and the communities in which we operate. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and business partners.

The global impact of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and Gorilla will continue to monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations closely. Gorilla has considered the market conditions (including the impact of COVID-19) as of the balance sheet date, in making estimates and judgements on the recoverability of assets and provisions for sales and service contracts as of June 30, 2021. However, we do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business or operations or on the global economy as a whole, particularly if the

138

Table of Contents

COVID-19 pandemic continues and persists for an extended period of time. Given the uncertainty, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. For additional details, see the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from the sale of hardware, software and services to customers directly under sales contracts and through resellers and distributors under reseller agreements and distribution and software license agreements.

Reseller

Under our typical reseller agreement, resellers purchase Gorilla products and sets their own prices for the end customer’s license of our product line. Resellers earn the difference on the purchase price from Gorilla and the price they set to provide the products and services to end customers. Warranty coverage is maintained by Gorilla. However, the reseller provides maintenance services to customers.

These contracts are automatically renewed for an additional year unless prior notice otherwise is given.

Distribution

Under our typical distribution and software license agreement, distributors purchase our products and are permitted to distribute, sell, bundle, promote and advertise our products directly to end customers. Distributors receive a discount on the purchase price and earn an agreed margin on the resale price. These contracts are automatically renewed for a year unless prior notice otherwise is given.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with salaries, labor, health insurance fees, benefits for personnel, outsourcing costs, warranties and hardware such as servers and storage devices needed for total solutions. We expect that cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars as our revenue grows and will vary from period-to-period as a percentage of revenue.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation, and sales commissions.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with Gorilla’s research and development and product development teams, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and share-based compensation. Research and development expenses also include contractor or professional services fees, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in developing Gorilla’s platform, and computer equipment, software, and subscription services dedicated for use by its research and development and organization. Gorilla expects that our research and development expenses will decrease in absolute dollars as our business grows, as our product and service offerings reach their maturity but will continue to maintain a relatively large expenditure to maintain our innovative approach to the market.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with Gorilla’s sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation and travel. Marketing expenses also include third-party software tools required for marketing automation and consultation and advertising costs. Gorilla expects these costs to increase over time as our expansion into different markets continues and additional tools and personnel are implemented.

In addition to the costs paid to our directly employed sales and marketing staff, we contract with sales representatives to support marketing activities for Gorilla in specific regions and territories. We license these representatives to use our software to market, promote and solicit orders of our product line on a non-transferable and non-sub-licensable and limited basis. The contracts are not automatically renewed. We pay these sales representatives commission on their sales, which are included in our sales and marketing expenses.

Gorilla expects increases in sales and marketing expenses with:

• the establishment of sales support operations for Intel AI manufacturer ecosystems in Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, US and Vietnam; and

• enhancement of technical support for AI models to device manufacture, AI Appliances to distributors and system integrators, and AI SaaS to telecommunication and managing service providers in US, Europe, MEA, Latam, India and expand the local support in Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Japan.

Prior to the disruption of international travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, sales and marketing expenses also included international travel of personnel and expenses related to trade shows, demonstrations and other marketing events. Gorilla expects that our sales and marketing expenses will grow in absolute dollars as well as a percentage of its revenue over time as Gorilla grows its business.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for Gorilla’s finance, legal, human resources, facilities, and administrative personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and share-based compensation. General and administrative expenses also include external legal, accounting, bookkeeping and other professional services fees, software and subscription services dedicated for use by Gorilla’s general and administrative functions, and other corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses also include allocated overhead costs.

Following the closing of this Business Combination, Gorilla expects to incur additional expenses as a result of becoming a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations, and increased expenses for insurance, investor relations, and professional services. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows but will decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time.

Financial Income (Expense), Net

Financial income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expenses relating to Gorilla’s short-term and long-term borrowings and bank facilities, as well as interest income relating to bank deposits.

Provision for (benefit from) Income Taxes

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our capital requirements have primarily been for capital expenditures related to the research and development, debt service, and operating expenses. Historically, we have generated negative cash flows from operations and have financed our operations through the borrowings under our credit facilities, equity contributions and payments received from our customers. We anticipate funding our future capital requirements and debt service payments with cash generated from our operations, funds received through the business combination and future borrowings. To the extent we choose to seek additional financing in the future (whether for development, acquisition opportunities as they arise or the refinancing of the financing facilities when due at more favorable terms), we expect to fund such activities through cash generated from operations and through securing further debt financing from banks and the capital markets.

As of December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,153 thousand, and $17,632 thousand and time deposits (recognized under financial assets at amortized cost — current) of $7,435 thousand and $5,220 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $5,828 thousand and $6,121 thousand and net cash outflow from operating activities of $4,883 thousand and $6,007

thousand, respectively. We also had unused credit lines from bank loans of $3,348 thousand and $4,013 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and of $3,113 thousand as of June 30, 2021, respectively. Also, in August 2021, we entered into shareholder loan agreements in the amount of $5,000,000 with certain of our shareholders by issuing promissory notes with an interest rate of 7.5% per annum and maturity date of September 1, 2022.

Our management minimizes liquidity risk through credit facilities and ongoing future cash flow management and planning. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of Gorilla and aggregated by our treasury. Our treasury monitors rolling forecasts of our liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintain sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that Gorilla does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. The forecasting takes into consideration Gorilla’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

We believe that we will have sufficient cash flows, after taking into the amount of cash and cash equivalent, time deposits recognized under financial assets at amortized cost — current, account the inventory management, unused credit lines from bank loans and shareholder loans, to meet our obligations on a timely basis for the next 12 months from the date our financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was authorized for issuance. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

The following table shows a summary of Gorilla’s cash flows for the periods presented:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Year Ended, December 31

Disclosures about Market Risk

Gorilla is exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Gorilla’s market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our businesses are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuation on their activities since interest-bearing liabilities have various maturities or remeasurement dates, or are due or remeasured in different amounts. The risk arising from fluctuations in market interest rates primarily relates to our short-term credit facilities bearing variable interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The activities of our business are transacted mainly in US dollars and the presentation of our historical financial information is in US dollars while Taiwanese activity is conducted in NT dollars.

Our financial statements are presented in US dollars incurring some translation risk when converting our NT dollar denominated figures to US dollars.

We also have certain borrowings in NT dollars, including our short and long term credit facilities. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of certain currency fluctuations. Our management regularly reviews potential currency risks prior to the conclusion of significant contracts or business transactions and analyzes potential mitigants. We seek to manage our currency risk by matching the currency of our costs and liabilities (including financial debt) with those of our revenues to the extent feasible.

Our management also regularly monitors potential currency risks prior to the conclusion of significant contracts or business transactions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter in meeting our obligations associated with our financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

For more details, please refer to the section titled, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is a risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. We are exposed to credit risk primarily as a result of our receivables from our customers.

Under our systems and procedures, each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before our standard payment and terms and conditions are offered. The exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The review includes external ratings, when available.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Revenue recognition-sales of services

Gorilla recognizes revenue from providing services over time as performance obligations are satisfied. Gorilla generally measures its progress toward completion using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred. Recognition of revenue and profit is dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the balance sheet date, such as engineering progress, material quantities, the achievement of milestones, labor productivity and cost estimates. Any significant variances in estimations of the total costs will impact the measurement of progress which drives the revenue recognition of contract works in an accounting period. Management continuously monitors factors that may affect the quality of its estimates and conducts periodic review of the relevance of factors by reviewing the actual amounts incurred and comparing with previous estimated amounts in order to mitigate the exposure to significant variances.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of Global with the historical consolidated balance sheet of Gorilla on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had been consummated on June 30, 2021.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical condensed statement of operations of Global and the historical condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of Gorilla for such periods on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with Gorilla’s and Global’s financial statements and related notes, as applicable, and the sections titled “Gorilla Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Global Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Proposed Transactions

On December 21, 2021, Global entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Gorilla, which provides for, among other things, the following transactions:

• Recapitalization: Each Gorilla preference share shall become and be converted into ordinary shares of Gorilla, and immediately following such conversion, each then outstanding Gorilla ordinary share shall become and be converted into such number of Gorilla ordinary shares as is determined by multiplying (1) such Gorilla ordinary share by (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $650 million, by (B) $10.00, and subsequently dividing such quotient by (C) the sum of (i) the number of Gorilla ordinary shares then outstanding and (ii) the number of Gorilla ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of all then outstanding options to purchase Gorilla ordinary shares, on a net exercise basis.

• Merger: Immediately following the consummation of the Recapitalization, each Global Class A ordinary share and each Global Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive an equivalent number of Gorilla ordinary shares.

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Global will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Gorilla issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Global as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Global will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Gorilla has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

• The former owners of Gorilla will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the Combined Company;

• Gorilla’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the Combined Company;

151

Table of Contents

• The operations of Gorilla will represent the ongoing operations of the Combined Company; and

• Gorilla is the larger of the combining entities based on fair value, assets, revenues and profits.

The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combinations, since Global does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Gorilla ordinary shares issued over the fair value of Global’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed upon consummation.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated or if the businesses had always been combined, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two scenarios with respect to the potential redemption by public shareholders of Global Class A ordinary shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account:

• Assuming no redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public shareholders exercise their rights to redeem any of their Global Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. Thus, the full amount of funds held in the Trust Account as of closing is available for the Business Combination.

• Assuming maximum redemptions: This presentation assumes that holders of Global Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption exercise their rights to redeem their Global Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. This scenario gives effect to redemptions of 11,875,941 Global Class A ordinary shares for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $119.9 million, using a per-share redemption price of $10.10, which is the maximum redemption amount after which the closing conditions of the Business Combination Agreement are still achieved. Such closing conditions require that Global will have cash, prior to the payment of transaction costs, of $50.0 million comprising (i) the funds held in the Trust Account or Global’s operating account after giving effect to the Global shareholder redemption, prior to payment of transaction expenses, and (ii) aggregate net proceeds from any PIPE Investment.

The foregoing scenarios are for illustrative purposes only as the actual number of redemptions by public shareholders is unknowable prior to the Global shareholder vote with respect to the Business Combination. Accordingly, the actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts presented herein.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

1. Basis of the presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of profit or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 present the pro forma effect of the Business Combination as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis that Gorilla is the accounting acquirer.

The historical financial information of Gorilla was derived from Gorilla’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and Gorilla’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Global was derived from Global’s condensed financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and Global’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Gorilla’s and Global’s financial statements and related notes, as applicable, and the sections titled “Gorilla’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Global’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Gorilla’s historical consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The historical financial statements of Global were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information, have been converted to IFRS on a basis consistent with the accounting policies and presentation adopted by Gorilla.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. Global and Gorilla have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of Gorilla upon consummation of the Business Combination. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Gorilla believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible that the difference may be material. Gorilla management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that the Global warrants will be accounted for as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 following consummation of the Business Combination and, accordingly, would be subject to ongoing mark-to-market adjustments through the statement of profit or loss.

2. Conversion and Reclassification of Global’s Financial Statement

The historical financial information of Global has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The only adjustment required to convert Global’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was to reclassify Global Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to non-current financial liabilities under IFRS 2.

Further, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, certain reclassifications were made to align Global’s historical financial information in accordance with the presentation of Gorilla’s historical financial information.

3. Adjustments to Unaudited pro forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial position as of June 30, 2021

The Transaction Account Adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows. The exchange of Global warrants to Gorilla warrants is not adjusted because the Gorilla warrants to be converted from the Global warrants have the same terms and conditions set forth in the Global warrants.

A. Reflects the liquidation and reclassification of $169.2 million of funds held in the Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents that becomes available following the Business Combination.

B. Reflects the settlement of deferred underwriting commissions upon the closing of the Business Combination. The underwriters have agreed that the deferred underwriting commissions will be reduced pro rata for redemptions from the trust account up to a maximum reduction of 20%.

C. Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred by Global and Gorilla of approximately $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for legal, accounting and printing fees incurred as part of the Business Combination.

For the Global transaction costs, none of these fees have been accrued as of the pro forma balance sheet date. The amount of $1.5 million is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit. These costs have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss. The Global estimated transaction costs excludes the deferred underwriting commissions included in (B) above.

For the Gorilla transaction costs, none of these fees have been accrued as of the pro forma balance sheet date. The amount of $2.5 million is allocated between newly issued shares and newly listed but previously existing shares. Under Scenario 1, approximately $0.7 million is allocated to newly issued shares and included as adjustment to capital surplus and approximately $1.8 million is allocated to the newly listed but previously existing shares and included as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 as discussed in (DD) below. Under Scenario 2, approximately $0.3 million is allocated to newly issued shares and included as adjustment to capital surplus and approximately $2.2 million is allocated to the newly listed but previously existing shares and included as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 as discussed in (DD) below.

D. Represents the exchange of 5,844,892 Gorilla preference shares into 5,844,892 ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 per share after giving effect to the Recapitalization.

E. Represents the exchange of outstanding Gorilla ordinary shares, including the shares converted from preference shares in (D) above, into 61,615,207 Gorilla ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 per share after giving effect to the Recapitalization.

F. Represents the exchange of 17,447,500 Global Class A ordinary shares, all of which 16,750,000 shares were subject to possible redemption, and 4,287,500 Global Class B ordinary shares into an equivalent number of Gorilla ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 per share.

G. Represents the elimination of Global’s historical accumulated deficit after recording the transaction costs to be incurred by Global as described in (C) above.

H. Reflects the maximum redemption of 11,875,941 Global Class A ordinary shares for aggregate redemption payments of $119.9 million at a redemption price of $10.10 per share. The Business Combination Agreement provides that consummating the Business Combination is conditioned on Global having a minimum of $50 million of cash on hand whether in or outside the trust account, after giving effect to share redemptions and prior to payment of any transaction expenses.

I. Represents the preliminary estimated expense recognized, in accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the fair value of Gorilla ordinary shares issued and the fair value of Global’s identifiable net assets at the date of the Business Combination should be recorded as a share-based compensation, resulting in a $61.9 million and $60.3 million increase to accumulated loss assuming no redemptions and

(1) For purpose of applying the “if converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that all outstanding warrants sold in the Global IPO and warrants sold in the private placement concurrent with the Global IPO and all outstanding options of Gorilla are exchange for ordinary shares. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers and our directors.

Arrangements for Election of Directors and Members of Management

Following the Business Combination, there will be no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders or others pursuant to which any of our executive officers or directors are selected.

Corporate Governance Practices

After the closing of the Business Combination, we will be a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer we will be permitted to comply with Cayman Islands corporate governance practices instead of the certain listing rules of Nasdaq, provided that we disclose which requirements we are not following and the equivalent Cayman Islands requirements.

We intend to rely on this “foreign private issuer exemption” with respect to the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings and with respect to Nasdaq shareholder approval rules. Whereas under the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, a quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least 331/3% of the total issued and outstanding voting power of our shares at each general meeting, pursuant to the Gorilla Articles to be effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the quorum required for a general meeting will consist of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent at least 331/3% of the total outstanding voting power of our shares, except if (i) any such general meeting was initiated by and convened pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors and (ii) at the time of such general meeting, we qualify as a “foreign private issuer,”

164

Table of Contents

then in such case, the requisite quorum will consist of two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent at least 25% of the total outstanding voting power of our shares (and if the meeting is adjourned for a lack of quorum, the quorum for such adjourned meeting will be, subject to certain exceptions, any number of shareholders). We otherwise intend to comply with the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq. We may, however, in the future decide to rely upon the “foreign private issuer exemption” for purposes of opting out of some or all of the other Nasdaq listing rules.

Independence of Directors

As a result of the Gorilla ordinary shares being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla will adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Gorilla has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Jayesh Chandan will be appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board and Dr. Sih-Ping “Spincer” Koh as Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla. Gorilla has determined that this structure, with separate Chairman and CEO roles, is in the best interests of Gorilla at this time. A number of factors support this leadership structure, including, among others:

• The planned separation of the Chairman and CEO roles will allow the CEO to focus his time and energy on operating and managing Gorilla and leverage the experience and perspectives of the Chairman.

• The Chairman serves as a liaison between the board and senior management but having an executive chairman also enables non-management directors to raise issues and concerns for board consideration without immediately involving management.

• The Chairman sets the agenda for, and presides over, board meetings and independent sessions and coordinates the work of the committees of our board, providing independent oversight and streamlining the CEO’s duties.

Gorilla also believes in the importance of independent oversight. Gorilla will look to ensure that this oversight is truly independent and effective through a variety of means.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla will establish a separately standing audit committee and compensation committee.

Audit Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, Gorilla will establish an audit committee comprised of independent directors. It is expected that the audit committee will initially consist of _______, _______, and _______. Each of the members of the audit committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The audit committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the audit committee will be, among other things, to appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise Gorilla’s independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review Gorilla’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, who are “financially literate,” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Nasdaq’s listing standards define “financially

165

Table of Contents

literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, Gorilla will be required to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

_______ will serve as a financial expert on the audit committee.

Compensation Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors of Gorilla will establish a compensation committee. It is expected that the compensation committee will initially consist of _______ , _______, and _______. The compensation committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Gorilla’s officers and directors and to administer Gorilla’s incentive compensation plans, if any, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

The compensation committee assists the Board in determining its responsibilities in relation to remuneration, including, amongst other matters, making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s policy on executive compensation, determining the individual remuneration and benefits package of each of the executive directors and recommending and monitoring the remuneration of senior management below Board level.

Corporate Governance Practices

As a foreign private issuer, Gorilla may generally follow home country practice with respect to certain matters of corporate governance in lieu of the comparable governance provisions of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, except for certain matters including the composition and responsibilities of the audit committee and the independence of its members within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Gorilla intends to follow home country practice in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements with respect to the following Nasdaq requirements:

• Executive Sessions. We will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, we may not, comply with certain Nasdaq rules requiring Gorilla’s independent directors to meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. Gorilla will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require independent directors to meet regularly in executive sessions separate from the full board of directors.

• Nomination of Directors. Gorilla’s director nominees may not be selected or recommended for the board of director’s selection by either (i) independent directors constituting a majority of the board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or (ii) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors, as required under Nasdaq rules. Gorilla will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require director nominations to be made or recommended solely by independent directors. Further, Gorilla will not have a formal written charter or board resolution addressing the director nominations process. Gorilla will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require Gorilla to have a formal written charter or board resolution addressing the director nominations process.

• Proxy Statements. We will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, we may not, comply with certain Nasdaq rules regarding the provision of proxy statements for general meetings of shareholders. Gorilla will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not impose a regulatory regime for the solicitation of proxies.

• Shareholder Approval. Gorilla will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, it does not intend to, comply with certain Nasdaq rules regarding shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities under Nasdaq Rule 5635. In accordance with the provisions of Gorilla’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, Gorilla’s board of directors is authorized to issue securities, including ordinary shares, warrants and convertible notes.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Global

Founder Shares

On August 7, 2020, Global issued 5,750,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.00435 per share. Up to 750,000 shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised.

On September 17, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 Founder Shares each to Mr. Abedin and two former director nominees, at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. The Sponsor subsequently repurchased the 100,000 Founder Shares from the two former director nominees and 25,000 Founder Shares from Mr. Abedin at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share.

On March 5, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the other two directors including Mr. Jayesh Chandan and Mr. Amir Kazmi at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full.

On April 8, 2021, the Sponsor returned to Global for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 1,150,000 Founder Shares. This resulted in an aggregate of 4,600,000 Founder Shares outstanding, of which up to 600,000 are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full.

On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units. As a result of the over-allotment option being only partially exercised, 412,500 Founder Shares were forfeited on April 15, 2021.

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares for a period ending on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or earlier, in any case, if, following a Business Combination, Global engages in a subsequent transaction (1) resulting in the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or (2) involving a consolidation, merger or similar transaction that results in change in the majority of the Board of Directors or management team in which Global is the surviving entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the initial holders may transfer, assign or sell their Founder Shares with Global’s consent to any person or entity that agrees in writing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in the prior sentence.

Due to Related Parties

The balance of $586 and $122, respectively, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist of operating costs paid by a related party on behalf of Global.

Administrative Service Fee

Global has agreed, commencing on the Effective Date of Global’s registration statement for the IPO, to pay an affiliate of Global’s CEO a monthly fee of an aggregate of $10,000 for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a Business Combination or the distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders.

Other than as described above, no compensation of any kind was or will be paid by Global to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Global’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, which totaled $0 as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Global’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or its or their affiliates.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement units and any warrants the Sponsor or its affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to Global (and any shares of Class A ordinary share issuable upon the exercise of the warrants underlying the private placement units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the Global IPO. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that Global register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination and rights to require Global to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Global will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In connection with the Closing, the registration rights agreement will be amended in order that these registration rights will be assumed by Gorilla.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Gorilla

Rights of Appointment

Gorilla’s board of directors currently consists of seven directors. Pursuant to Gorilla’s articles of association in effect immediately prior to the Business Combination, certain of Gorilla’s shareholders, including related parties, had rights to appoint directors.

Related Party Loans

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Global Ordinary Share and Global warrants (collectively “Global securities”). The following discusses the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Global Ordinary Share that elect to have their ordinary shares redeemed for cash and the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants following the Business Combination. This discussion applies only to the Global securities, Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants, as the case may be, that are held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment).

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations arising in connection with the Business Combination, the redemptions of Global Ordinary Share or the ownership and disposal of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants. The effects and considerations of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, alternative minimum or Medicare contribution tax consequences and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect the tax consequences discussed below. Neither Global nor Gorilla has sought nor will seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS will not take or a court will not sustain a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences discussed below.

This discussion does not address the tax treatment of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants to be issued to holders of outstanding Gorilla preference shares in connection with the Business Combination. This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

• banks, insurance companies, and certain other financial institutions;

• regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;

• brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

• traders in securities that elect to mark to market;

• tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

• U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

• persons holding Global securities or Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, as the case may be, as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

• persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to Global securities or Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, as the case may be, being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

• persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding Global Ordinary Share or, after the Business Combination, the issued Gorilla ordinary shares;

• “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

• S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other flow-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

• U.S. Holders having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

170

Table of Contents

• persons who hold or received Global securities or Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, as the case may be, pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and

• tax-qualified retirement plans.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of Global securities and Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, as the case may be, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Global securities, Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants, the tax treatment of an owner of such entity will depend on the status of the owners, the activities of the entity or arrangement and certain determinations made at the owner level. Accordingly, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT TO HOLDERS OF GLOBAL SECURITIES DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF OWNING GORILLA ORDINARY SHARES AND GORILLA WARRANTS TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER WILL DEPEND ON THE HOLDER’S PARTICULAR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU, IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES, OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF GLOBAL SECURITIES, GORILLA ORDINARY SHARES AND GORILLA WARRANTS.

U.S. Holders

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Business Combination.

Tax Consequences of the Business Combination Under Section 368(a) of the Code

This section is subject in its entirety to the discussion in the section below entitled “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”. The parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend for the Business Combination to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “reorganization”). Although this disclosure assumes that the Business Combination will so qualify, this treatment is not entirely free from doubt, and the IRS or a court could take a different position. Moreover, the qualification of the reorganization will be based on facts and representations which cannot be confirmed until the time of closing or following the closing. The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to report the Business Combination for all applicable tax purposes in a manner consistent with such tax treatment.

To qualify as a reorganization, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured similarly to the Business Combination, its corporate parent) continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic

171

Table of Contents

business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.368-1(d). However, due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as Global, the qualification of the Business Combination as a reorganization is not free from doubt. Moreover, the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Business Combination will qualify as a reorganization, and neither Global nor Gorilla intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Business Combination’s qualification as a reorganization or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS. If the Business Combination qualifies as a reorganization, U.S. Holders will generally not recognize gain or loss.

If, notwithstanding the above, at the Effective Time any requirement for Section 368(a) is not met, a U.S. Holder of Global securities may recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value as of the Closing Date of Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants received by such U.S. Holder in the Business Combination over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Global securities surrendered by such U.S. Holder in the Business Combination. Any gain or loss so recognized would generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder had held the Global securities for more than one year (or short-term capital gain otherwise). It is unclear, however, whether certain redemption rights (described above) may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) currently are eligible for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates. However, the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants received in the Business Combination, if any, will begin on the day following the Closing Date and would not include the holding period for the Global securities surrendered in exchange therefor.

U.S. Holders Exchanging Global Securities for Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla Warrants

This section is subject in its entirety to the discussion in the section below entitled “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”. If the Business Combination qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss if, pursuant to the Business Combination, the U.S. Holder either (i) exchanges only Global Ordinary Share (but not Global warrants) for Gorilla ordinary shares, (ii) exchanges Global warrants for Gorilla warrants, or (iii) both exchanges Global Ordinary Share for Gorilla ordinary shares and exchanges its Global warrants for Gorilla warrants.

In such a case, the aggregate tax basis of the Gorilla ordinary shares received by a U.S. Holder in the Business Combination should be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Global Ordinary Share surrendered in exchange therefor. The tax basis in a Gorilla warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Business Combination should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of a Gorilla warrant exchanged therefor. The holding period of the Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants received by a U.S. Holder in the Business Combination should include the period during which the Global Ordinary Share and/or warrants exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. Holder. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to Global Ordinary Share have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose.

Notwithstanding the discussion below under “— U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to Global Ordinary Share”, if a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for a portion of its Global Ordinary Share, such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Business Combination rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, cash received by such U.S. Holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a “reorganization”. Under this characterization, such U.S. Holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of Global Ordinary Share was treated as a separate transaction from the exchange pursuant to the Business Combination, and would not be entitled to recognize any loss with respect to its redeemed Global Ordinary Share.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property to Gorilla in connection with the Business Combination. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. In addition, certain U.S. Holders (and to the extent provided in IRS guidance, certain individual

172

Table of Contents

Non-U.S. Holders) holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to Gorilla Class A ordinary share, subject to certain exceptions, by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their tax return for each year in which they hold Gorilla Class A ordinary share. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938 and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of Gorilla Class A ordinary share.

U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to Global Ordinary Shares

This section is subject in its entirety to the discussion in the section below entitled “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”. In the event that a U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Shares are redeemed for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions described herein, the treatment of such redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code. Whether a redemption qualifies as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code will depend largely on the total number of Global Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder relative to all of the Global Ordinary Shares outstanding, both before and after the redemption.

The redemption of Global Ordinary Share generally will be treated as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code (rather than a distribution) if the redemption (i) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Global, (ii) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests (determined immediately after the Business Combination) are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder generally should take into account not only Global Ordinary Share actually owned by such U.S. Holder but also Global Ordinary Share constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any shares the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Global Ordinary Share which could be directly or constructively acquired pursuant to the exercise of Global warrants.

There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Global Ordinary Share actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder is redeemed or (ii) all of the Global Ordinary Share actually owned by the U.S. Holder is redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules set forth in the Code and Treasury regulations, the attribution of shares owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares. In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of outstanding voting stock actually or constructively owned by a U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption generally must be less than 80% of the voting stock actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the redemption. The redemption of the Global Ordinary Share will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Global. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Global will depend on such U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. Holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. Holder would generally be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the Global Ordinary Shares redeemed. Such gain or loss generally would be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Share generally will equal the cost of such shares.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under

173

Table of Contents

U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Share. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Global Ordinary Share.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of Ownership and Disposition of Gorilla Ordinary Shares and Gorilla Warrants

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”, if Gorilla makes distributions of cash or property on the Gorilla ordinary shares, such distributions will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes first as a dividend to the extent of Gorilla’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and then as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, with any excess treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. If Gorilla does not provide calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder should expect all cash distributions to be reported as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any dividend will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate, provided that:

• either (a) the shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (b) Gorilla is eligible for the benefits of a qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program;

• Gorilla is neither a PFIC (as discussed below under below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) nor treated as such with respect to the U.S. Holder for Gorilla’s in any taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year;

• the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements; and

• the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.

It is not expected that Gorilla will be eligible for benefits of an applicable comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. In addition, there also can be no assurance that Gorilla ordinary shares will be considered “readily tradable” on an established securities market in the United States in accordance with applicable legal authorities. Furthermore, Gorilla will not constitute a “qualified foreign corporation” for purposes of these rules if it is a PFIC for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to Gorilla ordinary shares. Subject to certain exceptions, dividends on Gorilla ordinary shares will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If such dividends are qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the reduced rate applicable to qualified dividend income and the denominator of which is the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by Gorilla with respect to the Gorilla ordinary shares generally will constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.”

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants.

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants generally will be capital

174

Table of Contents

gain or loss. A non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual, who has held the Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants for more than one year generally will be eligible for reduced tax rates for such long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Any such gain or loss recognized generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Accordingly, in the event any Cayman Island tax (including withholding tax) is imposed upon such sale or other disposition, a U.S. Holder may not be able to utilize foreign tax credits unless such U.S. Holder has foreign source income or gain in the same category from other sources. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the ability to claim a foreign tax credit and the application of the Treaty to such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

Exercise or Lapse of a Gorilla Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Gorilla warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of a Gorilla ordinary share on the exercise of a Gorilla warrant for cash. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a Gorilla ordinary shares received upon exercise of the Gorilla warrant generally should be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Gorilla warrant received therefore and the exercise price. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for a Gorilla ordinary share received upon exercise of the Gorilla warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Gorilla warrant and will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Gorilla warrant. If a Gorilla warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder that has otherwise received no proceeds with respect to such Gorilla warrant generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Gorilla warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Gorilla warrant are not clear under current U.S. federal income tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-deferred, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in the Gorilla ordinary shares received would equal the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Gorilla warrants exercised therefore. If the cashless exercise is not treated as a realization event, a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Gorilla ordinary shares would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Gorilla warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Gorilla ordinary shares would include the holding period of the Gorilla warrants exercised therefore.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise of a Gorilla warrant could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized in the manner set forth above under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants.” In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered warrants equal to the number of Gorilla ordinary shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the exercise price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount generally equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Gorilla warrants deemed surrendered and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Gorilla warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Gorilla ordinary shares received would equal the sum of (i) U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Gorilla warrants deemed exercised and (ii) the exercise price of such Gorilla warrants. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Gorilla ordinary shares received in such case generally would commence on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Gorilla warrants.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of warrants, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Gorilla warrants.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Gorilla warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of Gorilla ordinary shares for which the Gorilla warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Gorilla warrant in certain events, as discussed under “Description of Share Capital and Gorilla Articles — Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A U.S. Holder of a Gorilla warrant would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Gorilla if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in Gorilla’s assets or earnings and profits (for instance, through an increase in the number of Gorilla ordinary shares that would be obtained upon exercise of such warrant) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property such as other securities to the holders of the Gorilla ordinary shares which is taxable to the U.S. Holders of such shares

175

Table of Contents

as described under “— Distributions on Gorilla ordinary shares” above. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. Holder of such Gorilla warrant received a cash distribution from Gorilla equal to the fair market value of such increase interest.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The treatment of U.S. Holders of the Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares could be materially different from that described above, if Global and/or Gorilla are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either:

• at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income; or

• at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, Global or Gorilla will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which Gorilla owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

Because Global is a blank check company, with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that Global will meet the PFIC asset or income test for its current taxable year. However, pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income, if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. The applicability of the start-up exception to Global is uncertain. After the acquisition of a company or assets in a business combination, Global may still meet one of the PFIC tests depending on the timing of the acquisition and the amount of its passive income and assets as well as the passive income and assets of the acquired business. If the company that Global acquires in a business combination is a PFIC, then it will likely not qualify for the start-up exception and will be a PFIC for our current taxable year. The actual PFIC status of Global for its current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to the status of Global as a PFIC for its current taxable year or any future taxable year.

Gorilla believes it was not a PFIC in 2020. Based on the current and anticipated composition of the income, assets and operations of Gorilla and its subsidiaries, there is a risk Gorilla may be treated as a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the Business Combination or future taxable years. However, there can be no assurances in this regard, nor can there be any assurances that Gorilla will not be treated as a PFIC in any future taxable year. Moreover, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and Gorilla can make no assurances that the IRS will not take a contrary position or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS.

Whether Global, Gorilla or any of their respective subsidiaries are treated as a PFIC is determined on an annual basis. The determination of whether Global, Gorilla or any of their respective subsidiaries is a PFIC is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of Global or Gorilla’s income and assets, and the market value of their and their respective subsidiaries’ shares and assets. Changes in the composition of Global’s, Gorilla’s or any of their respective subsidiaries’ income or composition of Global’s, Gorilla’s or any of their subsidiaries’ assets may cause it to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Under the PFIC rules, if Global or Gorilla were considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder owns Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrant, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants, Global or Gorilla, respectively, would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such investment unless (i) it ceased to be a PFIC and (ii) the U.S. Holder made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules. If such election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrants, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which Global or Gorilla, respectively, is classified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described below. After the deemed sale election, the Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrants, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless Global or Gorilla subsequently becomes a PFIC.

Table of Contents

For each taxable year that Global or Gorilla is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrants, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” (as defined below) received and any gain realized from a sale or disposition (including a pledge) of such securities (collectively the “Excess Distribution Rules”), unless the U.S. Holder makes a valid QEF election or mark-to-market election as discussed below. Distributions received by a U.S. Holder in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

• the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares;

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which Global or Gorilla is a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

• the amount allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, for each such year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

Under the Excess Distribution Rules, the tax liability for amounts allocated to taxable years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrants, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants cannot be treated as capital gains, even though the U.S. Holder holds the Global Ordinary Shares or Global warrants, or Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants as capital assets.

Certain of the PFIC rules may impact U.S. Holders with respect to equity interests in subsidiaries and other entities which Global or Gorilla may hold, directly or indirectly, that are PFICs (collectively, “Lower-Tier PFICs”). There can be no assurance, however, that Global or Gorilla does not own, or will not in the future acquire, an interest in a subsidiary or other entity that is or would be treated as a Lower-Tier PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of Global’s or Gorilla’s subsidiaries.

If Global or Gorilla is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of Global Ordinary Shares (but not Global warrants) or Gorilla ordinary shares (but not Gorilla warrants) may avoid taxation under the Excess Distribution Rules described above by making a “qualified electing fund” (“QEF”) election. However, a U.S. Holder may make a QEF election with respect to its ordinary shares only if Global or Gorilla, respectively, provides U.S. Holders on an annual basis with certain financial information specified under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Global and Gorilla will endeavor to provide U.S. Holders with the required information on an annual basis to allow U.S. Holders to make a QEF election with respect to the Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares in the event Global or Gorilla is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. There can be no assurance, however, that Global or Gorilla will timely provide such information for the current year or subsequent years. The failure to provide such information on an annual basis could prevent a U.S. Holder from making a QEF election or result in the invalidation or termination of a U.S. Holder’s prior QEF election. In addition, U.S. Holders of Global warrants or Gorilla warrants will not be able to make a QEF election with respect to their warrants.

In the event Global or Gorilla is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF election with respect to its Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares would generally be required to include in income for each year that Global or Gorilla is treated as a PFIC the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of Global’s or Gorilla’s ordinary earnings for the year (which would be subject to tax as ordinary income) and net capital gains for the year (which would be subject to tax at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains), without regard to the amount of any distributions made in respect of the Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares. Any net deficits or net capital losses of Global or Gorilla for a taxable year would not be passed through and included on the tax return of the U.S. Holder, however. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the ordinary shares would be increased by the amount of income inclusions under the qualified electing fund rules. Dividends actually paid on the ordinary shares generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of prior income inclusions and would reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in the ordinary shares by a corresponding amount.

177

Table of Contents

If Global or Gorilla owns any interests in a Lower-Tier PFIC, a U.S. Holder generally must make a separate QEF election for each Lower-Tier PFIC, subject to Global’s or Gorilla’s providing the relevant tax information for each Lower-Tier PFIC on an annual basis.

If a U.S. Holder does not make a QEF election (or a mark-to-market election, as discussed below) effective from the first taxable year of a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Gorilla ordinary shares in which Gorilla is a PFIC, then the Gorilla ordinary shares will generally continue to be treated as an interest in a PFIC, and the U.S. Holder generally will remain subject to the Excess Distribution Rules. A U.S. Holder that first makes a QEF election in a later year may avoid the continued application of the Excess Distribution Rules to its Gorilla ordinary shares by making a “deemed sale” election. In that case, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold the Gorilla ordinary shares at their fair market value on the first day of the taxable year in which the QEF election becomes effective, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the Excess Distribution Rules described above. A U.S. Holder that is eligible to make a QEF election with respect to its Gorilla ordinary shares generally may do so by providing the appropriate information to the IRS in the U.S. Holder’s timely filed tax return for the year in which the election becomes effective.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a QEF election.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) may make a mark-to-market election for its Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares to elect out of the Excess Distribution Rules discussed above if Global or Gorilla is treated as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to its ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder will include in income for each year that Global or Gorilla is treated as a PFIC with respect to such ordinary shares an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares as of the close of the U.S. Holder’s taxable year over the adjusted basis in the ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder will be allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions will be allowed only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the ordinary shares included in the U.S. Holder’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment will also apply to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the ordinary shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the ordinary shares, to the extent the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains for such ordinary shares previously included in income. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any mark-to-market income or loss. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any distributions Gorilla makes would generally be subject to the rules discussed above under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants,” except the lower rates applicable to qualified dividend income would not apply. U.S. Holders of Gorilla warrants will not be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to their Gorilla warrants.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The Global Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq and Gorilla ordinary shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, are expected to qualify as marketable stock for purposes of the PFIC rules, but there can be no assurance that Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares will be “regularly traded” for purposes of these rules. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for equity interests in any Lower-Tier PFICs, a U.S. Holder that does not make the applicable QEF elections generally will continue to be subject to the Excess Distribution Rules with respect to its indirect interest in any Lower-Tier PFICs as described above, even if a mark-to-market election is made for Global or Gorilla.

If a U.S. Holder does not make a mark-to-market election (or a QEF election, as discussed above) effective from the first taxable year of a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares in which Global or Gorilla, respectively, is a PFIC, then the U.S. Holder generally will remain subject to the Excess Distribution Rules. A U.S. Holder that first makes a mark-to-market election with respect to such ordinary shares in a later year will continue to be subject to the Excess Distribution Rules during the taxable year for which the mark-to-market election becomes effective, including with respect to any mark-to-market gain recognized at the end of that year. In subsequent years for which a valid mark-to-mark election remains in effect, the Excess Distribution Rules generally will not apply. A U.S. Holder that is eligible to make a mark-to-market with respect to its Global Ordinary Shares or Gorilla ordinary shares may do so by providing the appropriate information on IRS Form 8621

178

Table of Contents

and timely filing that form with the U.S. Holder’s tax return for the year in which the election becomes effective. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any Lower-Tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder of a PFIC may be required to file an IRS Form 8621 on an annual basis. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to them if Global or Gorilla is a PFIC.

U.S. Holders are strongly encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their particular circumstances.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to Non-U.S. Holders of Global Ordinary Share and Global warrants (and Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants following the Business Combination). For purposes of this discussion, a Non-U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Global Ordinary Share and Global warrants (and Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants following the Business Combination) that is not a U.S. Holder, including:

• a nonresident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States;

• a foreign corporation; or

• a foreign estate or trust.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of the Business Combination

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to Non-U.S. Holders generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders, as described under “— U.S. Holders Exchanging Global Securities for Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla Warrants” above. In the event the Business Combination does not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder may not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless one of the exceptions described below under “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants to Non-U.S. Holders” applies in respect of gain from the disposition of Global Ordinary Share.

Non-U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to Global Ordinary Share

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Share generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Global Ordinary Share, as described above under “— U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to Global Ordinary Share.” Any redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the redemption or be able to utilize a loss in computing such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability unless one of the exceptions described below under “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants to Non-U.S. Holders” applies in respect of gain from the disposition of Global Ordinary Share.

If a Non-U.S. Holder receives cash for Global Ordinary Share, and the redemption is treated as a distribution (rather than a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code), the Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the distribution unless one of the exceptions described below under “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants to Non-U.S. Holders” applies to the distribution with respect to Global Ordinary Share. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Global Ordinary Share and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of such Global Ordinary Share, which will be treated as described in the paragraph immediately above. A redemption treated as a dividend by Global to a Non-U.S. Holder that is

179

Table of Contents

effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same corporate or graduated individual rates applicable to U.S. Holders (together with branch profits tax, at a 30% rate, or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty, as adjusted for certain items, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation).

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla Warrants to Non-U.S. Holders

Any (i) distributions of cash or property paid to a Non-U.S. Holders in respect of Gorilla ordinary shares or (ii) gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless one of the following exceptions applies:

• the gain or distribution is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable); or

• in the case of any gain, the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met.

Gain or distributions described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a Non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of a Gorilla warrant, or the lapse of a Gorilla warrant held by a Non-U.S. Holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant by a U.S. Holder, as described under “— U.S. Holders — Exercise or Lapse of a Gorilla Warrant,” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise or lapse results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described in the preceding paragraphs above for a Non-U.S. Holder’s gain on the sale or other disposition of the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements may apply to cash received in redemption of Global Ordinary Shares, dividends received by U.S. Holders of Gorilla ordinary shares, and the proceeds received on sale or other taxable the disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. Holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Any redemptions treated as dividend payments with respect to Global Ordinary Share and Gorilla ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

180

Table of Contents

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and Non-U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of, a Non-U.S. Holder’s disposition of Global Ordinary Share or Global warrants or their Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants, unless the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to Gorilla ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale of other disposition of Gorilla ordinary shares or Gorilla warrants received in the United States by a Non-U.S. Holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such Non-U.S. Holder provides proof an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding generally may be credited against the taxpayer’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a taxpayer may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

CERTAIN MATERIAL CAYMAN ISLANDS TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Gorilla ordinary shares and Gorilla warrants and should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction.

Prospective investors should consult their advisors on the possible tax consequences of investing in our securities under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.

Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in the securities of Gorilla. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our securities will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the securities nor will gains derived from the disposal of the securities be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporate tax. The Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of the warrants. An instrument of transfer in respect of a warrant is stampable if executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of Gorilla ordinary shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of such shares.

The Company has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has applied for and received an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands in the following form:

The Tax Concessions Act

(As Revised)

Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of The Tax Concessions Act (As Revised), the Financial Secretary undertakes with Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (the “Company”):

1. That no law which is hereafter enacted in the Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

2. In addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

2.1 On or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

2.2 by way of the withholding in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised).

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from the date hereof.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL AND GORILLA ARTICLES

A summary of the material provisions governing the combined company’s share capital immediately following the completion of the Business Combination is described below. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the Gorilla Articles, the form of which is appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. In this section “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Gorilla.

General

The constitutional documents of Gorilla will provide for the issuance of _______ ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, and _______ preference shares, par value $0.0001.

In the Merger, Gorilla will issue its ordinary shares in exchange for the outstanding securities of Global as follows:

• each ordinary share of Global will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Gorilla, except for public shares that have been converted into a pro rata portion of Global’s Trust Account; and

• each Global warrant will remain outstanding but will be deemed converted into one warrant of Gorilla.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers an aggregate of 21,735,000 ordinary shares, 13,085,625 warrants, and 13,085,625 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, all of which will be issued by Gorilla as a result of the Merger in exchange for the outstanding securities of Global.

As part of the Recapitalization, the holders of Gorilla’s securities will receive approximately 65 million ordinary shares of Gorilla.

Ordinary Shares

The holders of ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Holders of Gorilla’s ordinary shares will not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or Redemption provisions applicable to the ordinary shares.

Preference shares

The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Gorilla will authorize the issuance of up to _______ blank check preference shares with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Gorilla’s board of directors. Accordingly, Gorilla’s board of directors will be empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preference shares with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares. In addition, the preference shares could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Gorilla.

Warrants

Upon the Closing, each outstanding warrant of Global shall automatically represent the right to purchase one ordinary share of Gorilla in lieu of one ordinary share of Global at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. However, no Gorilla warrants to be issued in exchange for public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective within a specified period following the Closing, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in the same manner as if we called the warrants for redemption and required all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. The Gorilla warrants will become exercisable thirty (30) days after the Closing and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

183

Table of Contents

The Gorilla warrants to be issued in exchange for private warrants are identical to warrants to be issued in exchange for the public warrants, except that such private warrants will be exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates.

We may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant,

• at any time while the warrants are exercisable;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and

• if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants commencing five business days prior to the 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of Redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the Redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

The redemption criteria for Gorilla’s warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our Redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. In this case, the “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of Redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether we will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our ordinary shares at the time the warrants are called for redemption, our cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive stock issuances.

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the ordinary shares outstanding.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF GORILLA SHAREHOLDERS AND GLOBAL SHAREHOLDERS

The rights of the shareholders of Gorilla and the relative powers of the Gorilla board of directors are governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Gorilla Articles. As a result of the Business Combination, securities held by the Global shareholders will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive Gorilla ordinary shares and/or Gorilla warrants. Each Gorilla Ordinary Share will be issued in accordance with, and subject to the rights and obligations of, the Gorilla Articles which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B.

Many of the principal attributes of Gorilla ordinary shares and Global Ordinary Share will be similar. In addition, there are differences between the Gorilla Articles as such will be in effect from and after the consummation of the Business Combination and the Global Articles.

The following is a summary comparison of the material differences between the rights of Global securityholders under the Global Articles and the Gorilla Articles to be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the United States federal securities laws or Nasdaq listing requirements or of Gorilla’s or Global’s governance or other policies.

The statements in this section are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Companies Act, the Gorilla Articles and the Global Articles as they will be in effect from and after the Effective Time. The Global Articles are filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. You are also urged to carefully read the relevant provisions of the Companies Act for a more complete understanding of the differences between being a shareholder of Gorilla and a shareholder of Global.

Shareholder Meetings; Quorum |  | All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. Global may, but shall not (unless required by the Companies Act) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented. The Directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board of Directors may call general meetings, and, for the avoidance of doubt, shareholders shall not have the ability to call general meetings.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Certain Differences in Corporate Law

Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Companies Act. The Companies Act is modeled on English Law but does not follow recent English Law statutory enactments, and differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the material differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. In certain circumstances, the Companies Act allows for mergers or consolidations between two Cayman Islands companies, or between a Cayman Islands exempted company and a company incorporated in another jurisdiction (provided that is facilitated by the laws of that other jurisdiction).

Where the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation containing certain prescribed information. That plan or merger or consolidation must then be authorized by either (a) a special resolution (usually a majority of 66⅔% in value of the voting shares voted at a general meeting) of the shareholders of each company; or (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. No shareholder resolution is required for a merger between a parent company (i.e., a company that owns at least 90% of the issued shares of each class in a subsidiary company) and its subsidiary company. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is satisfied that the requirements of the Companies Act (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar of Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation.

Where the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that with respect to the foreign company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited by the constitutional documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated, and that those laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (ii) that no petition or other similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign company in any jurisdictions; (iii) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any jurisdiction and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or its property or any part thereof; and (iv) that no scheme, order, compromise or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors of the foreign company are and continue to be suspended or restricted.

Where the surviving company is the Cayman Islands exempted company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are further required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as they fall due and that the merger or consolidated is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign company; (ii) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company; and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (iii) that the foreign company will, upon the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction; and (iv) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit the merger or consolidation.

Where the above procedures are adopted, the Companies Act provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair value of his shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence, that procedure is as follows: (a) the shareholder must give his written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent company before the vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for his shares if the merger or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (b) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder who made a written objection; (c) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company,

196

Table of Contents

give the constituent company a written notice of his intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (d) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph (b) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder such amount; and (e) if the company and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands Grand Court to determine the fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders with whom agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the court has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company may participate fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving or consolidated company.

Moreover, Cayman Islands law has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies in certain circumstances, schemes of arrangement will generally be more suited for complex mergers or other transactions involving widely held companies, commonly referred to in the Cayman Islands as a “scheme of arrangement” which may be tantamount to a merger. In the event that a merger was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the procedures for which are more rigorous and take longer to complete than the procedures typically required to consummate a merger in the United States), the arrangement in question must be approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at an annual general meeting, or extraordinary general meeting summoned for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the terms of the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

• we are not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of our corporate authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;

• the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

• the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

• the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”

If a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, any dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights (providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares), which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations.

Squeeze-out Provisions. When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer relates within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.

Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through means other than these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, or through contractual arrangements of an operating business.

Shareholders’ Suits. Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim against (for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based both on Cayman Islands authorities and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

• a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

• the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or

• those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities. The Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection to investors. Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the Federal courts of the United States.

We have been advised by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Special Considerations for Exempted Companies. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

• an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

• an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;

• an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

• an exempted company may issue shares with no par value;

• an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

• an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

198

Table of Contents

• an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and

• an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

The Companies Act permits a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands to amend its memorandum and articles of association with the approval of a special resolution which requires the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of such company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting or by way of unanimous written resolution. A company’s articles of association may specify that the approval of a higher majority is required but, provided the approval of the required majority is obtained, any Cayman Islands exempted company may amend its memorandum and articles of association regardless of whether its memorandum and articles of association provide otherwise. Accordingly, although we could amend any of the provisions relating to our proposed offering, structure and business plan which are contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we view all of these provisions as binding obligations to our shareholders and neither we, nor our officers or directors, will take any action to amend or waive any of these provisions unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

We have certain duties under the Data Protection Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Data Protection Act”) based on internationally accepted principles of data privacy.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the estimation of employee benefit and income tax.

a) Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

b) Basis of preparation

(a) Except for the following items, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

Defined benefit assets are recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

(b) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4 f).

c) Basis of condensed consolidation

(a) Basis for preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements:

i) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Condensed consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

ii) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

See Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information.

c) On December 21, 2021, the Group entered into a business combination agreement with Global SPAC Partners Co. in respect of de-SPAC merger.

30. Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the condensed consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

The gearing ratios at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020 were as follows:

|  | June 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Total borrowings |  | $ | 29,971,259 |  |  | $ | 29,107,023 |
Less: Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (4,206,390 | ) |  |  | (12,153,256 | )
Net debt |  |  | 25,764,869 |  |  |  | 16,953,767 |
Total equity |  |  | 47,999,893 |  |  |  | 53,499,842 |

b) Financial risk management policies

i) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial condition and financial performance.

ii) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies and evaluates financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

c) Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

i) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to material price risk of equity instrument.

Cash flow and interest rate risk

The Group held short-term borrowings with variable rates, of which short-term effective rate would change with market interest rate, and then affect the future cash flow. Every 1% increase in the market interest rate would result to an increase of $94,450 and $76,634 in the cash outflow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

ii) Credit risk

1. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

2. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire Group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with at least BBB+ credit rating determined by Standard & Poor’s are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account

their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

3. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the domestic and foreign contract payments were past due over 180 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

4. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over one year. Longer payment terms are given to customers and default barely occurred even though the contract payments are past due within one year in the past because of the industry characteristics of the Group and positive long-term relationship with customers. Therefore, a more lagging default criterion is appropriate to determine the risk of default occurring.

5. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the modified approach using the provision matrix and loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss.

6. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the provision matrix is as follows:

|  | Not past due |  | Up to 180 days past due |  | Up to 365 days past due |  | Over 366 days past due |  | Total
At June 30, 2021 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Expected loss rate |  |  | 0.03%~5% |  |  | 5 | % |  |  | 15 | % |  |  | 100 | % |  |  |
Total book value |  | $ | 30,340,605 |  | $ | 3,075,711 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,843,682 |  |  | $ | 35,259,998
Loss allowance |  |  | 85,058 |  |  | 153,786 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1,843,682 |  |  |  | 2,082,526

|  | Not past due |  | Up to 180 days past due |  | Up to 365 days past due |  | Over 366 days past due |  | Total
At December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Expected loss rate |  |  | 0.03%~5% |  |  | 5 | % |  |  | 15 | % |  |  | 100 | % |  |  |

|  | Notes and accounts receivable
At January 1 |  | $ | 2,082,229
Effect of foreign exchange |  |  | 297

iii) Liquidity risk

1. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

2. Please refer to Note 12 for undrawn borrowing facilities as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

3. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Non-derivative financial liabilities: |  | Less than 1 year |  | Over 1 year
June 30, 2021 |  |  |  |  |  |
Lease liabilities |  | $ | 14,860 |  | $ | 12,437
Long-term borrowings (including current portion) |  |  | 1,420,211 |  |  | 10,716,008

Non-derivative financial liabilities: |  | Less than 1 year |  | Over 1 year
December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |  |  |
Lease liabilities |  | $ | 15,971 |  | $ | 22,753
Long-term borrowings (including current portion) |  |  | 1,509,668 |  |  | 11,266,890

Except for the above, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities are due less than 1 year.

4. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.

34. Other disclosure (cont.)

Our financial performance has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. COVID-19 has disrupted our operations and the operations of our suppliers, customers, and other business partners and may continue to do so for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns. A slowdown in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 can be expected to result in a reduction in demand for our products.

The Group has considered the market conditions (including the impact of COVID-19) as at the balance sheet date, in making estimates and judgements on the recoverability of assets and provisions for sales and service contracts as at June 30, 2021. Estimates and judgements may differ from the actual result.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and our business is uncertain at this time. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 could have on worldwide economic activity and our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by governments, businesses and other organizations in response to COVID-19 are expected to reduce our financial performance and could have an adverse impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Gorilla Technology Group Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gorilla Technology Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB.

b) Basis of preparation

(a) Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

Defined benefit assets are recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

(b) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4 aa).

c) Basis of consolidation

(a) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

i) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

ii) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

(a) Foreign currency transactions and balances

i) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.

iii) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measures at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

(b) Translation of foreign operations

i) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

• Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

• All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

ii) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

e) Classification of current and non-current items

(a) Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

i) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

ii) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

iii) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

iv) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

i) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

ii) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

iii) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

iv) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

f) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

g) Financial assets at amortized cost

(a) The group classifies its financial assets as at amortized cost only if both of the following criteria are met:

i)the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and

ii) the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

(b) The Group’s time deposit which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

h) Notes and accounts receivable

(a) Notes and accounts receivable represent the Group’s contractual right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

(b) Non-interest bearing short-term accounts and notes receivable are measured at the original invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

i) Impairment of financial assets

For debt instruments measured at financial assets at amortized cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

j) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset have expired.

k) Operating leases (lessor)

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

l) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

m) Property, plant and equipment

(a) Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

(b) Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

(c) Land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

(d) The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures |  | 50 years
Transportation equipment |  | 5 years
Office equipment |  | 3~ 5 years
Leasehold equipment |  | 3~ 5 years
Other equipment |  | 2~ 5 years

n) Leasing arrangements (lessee) — right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

(a) Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(b) Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

The Group subsequently measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

(c) At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

o) Intangible assets

Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 2 to 10 years.

p) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (‘DCF’) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for the extrapolation purposes. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized. There was no impairment of non-financial assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

q) Loans

Loans comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Loans are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

r) Notes and accounts payable

(a) Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

(b) Non-interest bearing short-term notes and accounts payable are measured at the original invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

s) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

t) Provisions

Assurance-type warranties are recognized when the Group has a present legal obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Warranties are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

u) Employee benefits

(a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognized when the employee has rendered the service and are measured at undiscounted amount of benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

(b) Pensions

i) Defined contribution plans

Under defined contribution plans, contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

ii) Defined benefit plans

• Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

• Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

(c) Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

v) Employee share-based payment

Under the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Having recognized the goods or services received and a corresponding increase in equity, the Company shall make no subsequent adjustment to total equity after vesting date. However this requirement does not preclude the Company from recognizing a transfer within equity.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

w) Income tax

(a) The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss.

(b) The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(c) Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets and liabilities will be realized or settled.

(d) Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.

(e) Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

x) Share capital

(a) Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The classification of preference shares is determined according to the special rights attached to preference shares based on the substance of the contract and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or share options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

(b) Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

y) Revenue recognition

(a) Sales of goods-hardware and software

i) The Group develops and sells video intelligence and security convergence products. Sales are recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

ii) Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated business tax, sales return and discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date.

iii) A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as the right to consideration is unconditional because only a passage of time is required before the payment of that consideration is due.

(b) Sales of services

i) The Group provides information, software and data processing services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided, because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. This is determined based on the proportion of labor services that have been performed as of the financial reporting date to the total labor services expected to be rendered. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

ii) Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management.

z) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

aa) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

(a) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

None.

(b) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Revenue recognition-sales of services

The Group recognizes revenue from providing services over time as performance obligations are satisfied. The Group generally measures its progress toward completion using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred.

Recognition of revenue and profit is dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the balance sheet date, such as engineering progress, material quantities, the achievement of milestones, labor productivity and cost estimates. Any significant variances in estimations of the total costs will impact the measurement of progress which drives the revenue recognition of contract works in an accounting period. Management continuously monitors factors that may affect the quality of its estimates and conducts periodic review of the relevance of factors by reviewing the actual amounts incurred and comparing with previous estimated amounts in order to mitigate the exposure to significant variances. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group recognized service revenue of $20,477,655 and $15,924,198, respectively.

16. Pensions

a) Gorilla Taiwan has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who choose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Act. Under the defined benefit plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. Gorilla Taiwan contributes monthly to the employees’ individual pension accounts based on 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries with the Trust Department, Bank of Taiwan. The trustee is under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, Gorilla Taiwan would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve

offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after approval by the Regulator. The Group has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Group is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.

e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

|  | Year ended December 31, 2020 |  | Year ended December 31, 2019
Discount rate |  | 0.42 | % |  | 0.87 | %
Future salary increases |  | 3.50 | % |  | 3.50 | %

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

|  | Discount rate |  | Future salary increases
|  | Increase 0.5% |  | Decrease 0.5% |  | Increase 0.5% |  | Decrease 0.5%
December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation |  | $ | (7,584 | ) |  | $ | 8,357 |  | $ | 8,076 |  | $ | (7,409 | )
December 31, 2019 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation |  | $ | (5,337 | ) |  | $ | 5,837 |  | $ | 5,670 |  | $ | (5,237 | )

The sensitivity analysis above was based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analyzing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2021 amount to $0.

g) As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 18 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

Within 1 year |  | $ | —
1 – 2 year(s) |  |  | —
2 – 5 years |  |  | —
Over 5 years |  |  | 71,415
|  | $ | 71,415

h) Effective July 1, 2005, Gorilla Taiwan and NSGUARD Technology Inc. have established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, Gorilla Taiwan and NSGUARD Technology

The Company issued promissory notes with an interest rate of 7.5% per annum and maturity date of September 1, 2022 to the lenders in the same amount as loans made.

c) In December 2021, management of the Group formalized its decision to exit its business operations in Mainland China that the Group determined represented the culminating event with respect to the conditions which existed as of December 31, 2020 and that gave rise to the impairment recorded as of that date. See Note 12 for additional information.

d) On December 21, 2021, the Group entered into a business combination agreement with Global SPAC Partners Co. in respect of de-SPAC merger. The business combination agreement was entered into to raise capital through a merger with Global SPAC Partners Co., a NASDAQ-listed entity, and includes a minimum of $50 million gross cash at closing, along with customary closing conditions.

37. Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

The gearing ratios at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

|  | December 31, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Total borrowings |  | $ | 29,107,023 |  |  | $ | 23,912,466 |
Less: Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (12,153,256 | ) |  |  | (17,632,485 | )
Net debt |  |  | 16,953,767 |  |  |  | 6,279,981 |
Total equity |  |  | 53,499,842 |  |  |  | 58,395,106 |
Total capital |  | $ | 70,453,609 |  |  | $ | 64,675,087 |

38. Financial instruments (cont.)

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to material price risk of equity instrument.

Cash flow and interest rate risk

The Group held short-term borrowings with variable rates, of which short-term effective rate would change with market interest rate, and then affect the future cash flow. Every 1% increase in the market interest rate would result to an increase of $149,228 and $154,315 in the cash outflow for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

ii) Credit risk

1. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

2. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire Group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with at least BBB+ credit rating determined by Standard & Poor’s are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

3. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the domestic and foreign contract payments were past due over 180 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

4. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over one year. Longer payment terms are given to customers and default barely occurred even though the contract payments are past due within one year in the past because of the industry characteristics of the Group and positive long-term relationship with customers. Therefore, a more lagging default criterion is appropriate to determine the risk of default occurring.

5. The Group classifies customer’s notes and accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the modified approach using the provision matrix and loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss.

6. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of notes and accounts receivable. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:

|  | Not past due |  | Up to 180 days past due |  | Up to 365 days past due |  | Over 366 days past due |  | Total
At December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Expected loss rate |  |  | 0.03% – 5% |  |  | 5 | % |  |  | 15 | % |  |  | 100 | % |  |  |
Total book value |  | $ | 33,532,018 |  | $ | 93,423 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,843,682 |  |  | $ | 35,469,123
Loss allowance |  |  | 233,876 |  |  | 4,671 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1,843,682 |  |  |  | 2,082,229

The balances are measured on 12-months expected credit losses and subject to immaterial credit loss.

10. Other non-current assets of $149,228 and $154,315 as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are considered to have low credit risk. The other receivables and other non-current assets are measured on 12-months expected credit losses and subject to immaterial credit loss.

iii) Liquidity risk

1. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

2. Please refer to Note 13 for undrawn borrowing facilities as at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

41. Other disclosure

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all countries of the world, and resulted in border closures, production stoppages, workplace closures, movement controls and other measures imposed by the various governments. The Group’s significant operation is Taiwan, of which has been affected by the spread of COVID-19 since 2020.

Our financial performance has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. COVID-19 has disrupted our operations and the operations of our suppliers, customers, and other business partners and may continue to do so for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns. A slowdown in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 can be expected to result in a reduction in demand for our products.

The Group has considered the market conditions (including the impact of COVID-19) as at the balance sheet date, in making estimates and judgements on the recoverability of assets and provisions for sales and service contracts as at December 31, 2020. Estimates and judgements may differ from the actual result.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and our business is uncertain at this time. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 could have on worldwide economic activity and our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by governments, businesses and other organizations in response to COVID-19 are expected to reduce our financial performance and could have an adverse impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

GLOBAL SPAC PARTNERS CO.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Global SPAC Partners Co. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 6, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination” or “Initial Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific business combination target with respect to the Initial Business Combination.

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”), which is described below, and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for target companies for the Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liability as other income (expense).

The Company’s sponsor is Global SPAC Sponsors LLC (formerly known as Global SPAC Partners Sponsors LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on April 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On April 13, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 16,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $160,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 675,000 private units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in the private placement (See “Note 5”) to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”), generating total gross proceeds of $6,750,000.

Each Public Unit consists of (i) one subunit (the “Public Subunit”), which consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”) and one-quarter of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”), and (ii) one-half of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”); each whole warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Each Private Unit also consists of (i) one subunit (the “Private Subunit”), which consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Private Shares”) and one-quarter of one warrant (the “Private Warrants”), and (ii) one-half of one warrant (the “Private Warrants”).

Transaction costs amounted to $9,673,350 consisting of $3,200,000 of underwriting discount, $5,600,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $873,350 of other offering costs.

The Company granted I-Bankers a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Public Units to cover over-allotments. On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,500,000. On April 14, 2021, simultaneous with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 22,500 additional Private Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $225,000. Transaction costs amounted to $412,500, consisting of $150,000 of underwriting discount and $262,500 of deferred underwriting discount.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on April 13, 2021 and I-Bankers’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, an aggregate of $169,175,000 ($10.10 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units and the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), which has been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940,

GLOBAL SPAC PARTNERS CO.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses in the event that the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination and must be liquidated, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Subunits properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Subunits if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter into a Business Combination.

The Company has 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Subunits, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Subunits, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company, and I-Bankers have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits, Representative Shares (See Note 5, Note 7) and any Public Subunits they may hold in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Subunits and Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Subunits they hold if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per Public Subunit or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Subunit held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations.

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of approximately $0.5 million. Until the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans and advances from the Sponsor.

Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $169,175,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account, and the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account.

The Company’s initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Note 2 — Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

As a result of recent guidance to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies by the SEC regarding redeemable equity instruments, the Company revisited its application of ASC 480-10-S99 on the Company’s financial statements. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Public Subunits (and the underlying Class A ordinary shares) in permanent equity. Subsequent to the re-evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that all of its Public Subunits should be classified as temporary equity. The identified errors impacted the Company’s Form 8-K filing on May 14, 2021 containing the IPO balance sheet as of April 13, 2021. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the errors and has determined that the related impacts were not material to any prior 8-K report, but that correcting the cumulative impact of such errors would be significant to the Company’s financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company has corrected such immaterial errors by adjusting its April 13, 2021 balance sheet and classified all Public Subunits as temporary equity. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable. The following summarizes the effect of the revision on each financial statement line item.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 8-K and the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on May 14, 2021 and April 12, 2021, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Investment Held in Trust Account

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $169,195,732 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combination. Previously, as of June 30, 2021, all assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds. However, starting in July 1, 2021 and as of September 30, 2021, the Trust Account consisted of both cash and Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the “interest income” line item in the condensed statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Class A Ordinary Shares (underlying the Public Subunits) Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares (underlying the Public Subunits) subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.10 per share (plus any interest earned on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Offering Costs associated with the IPO

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs are allocated to the Public Warrants issued in the IPO based on its fair value at inception compared to the total IPO proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are allocated between permanent equity and temporary equity.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The non-recurring fair value measurements are not applicable as of September 30, 2021.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1 — |  | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 — |  | Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 — |  | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | Quoted Prices In Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants |  | $ | 5,403,131 |  | $ | 5,403,131 |  | $ | — |  | $ | —
Warrant liabilities – Private Warrants |  |  | 234,366 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 234,366
|  | $ | 5,637,497 |  | $ | 5,403,131 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 234,366

The fair value of the Company’s U.S. Treasuries held in Trust Account approximate their carrying amount and is a level 1 Measurement. The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding loss and fair value of held to maturity securities on September 30, 2021 are as follows:

|  | Carrying Value/Amortized Cost |  | Gross Unrealized Gains |  | Gross Unrealized Losses |  | Fair Value as of September 30, 2021
U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account |  | $ | 169,194,622 |  | $ | — |  | $ | (851 | ) |  | $ | 169,193,771
|  | $ | 169,194,622 |  | $ | — |  | $ | (851 | ) |  | $ | 169,193,771

GLOBAL SPAC PARTNERS CO.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The fair value of the Company’s prepaid expenses, accrued offering costs and expenses, and due to related party approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of the Private Warrants is based on a Monte Carlo valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the Private Warrants is classified as Level 3. See Note 6 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at inception and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate IPO proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating IPO proceeds first to fair value of the warrants and then the Class A ordinary shares.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable Class A ordinary share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income (loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable Class A ordinary shares and the non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 77% for the redeemable Class A ordinary shares and 23% for the non-redeemable shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 68% for the redeemable Class A ordinary shares and 32% for the non-redeemable shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflective of the respective participation rights.

The earnings per share presented in the condensed statements of operations is based on the following:

|  | For the three months ended September 30, 2021 |  | For the nine months ended September 30, 2021
Net income |  | $ | 1,229,478 |  |  | $ | 9,752,573 |
Accretion of temporary equity to redemption value |  |  | (17,119 | ) |  |  | (27,077,030 | )

In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, 187,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. These shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding until they were no longer subject to forfeiture.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the Company’s earnings. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, cash flows and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU introduced a new credit loss methodology, the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology, which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to maturity debt securities, trade receivables and other receivables measured at amortized cost at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. After the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional ASUs to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. In November 2019, the FASB issued an amendment making this ASU effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. The Company plans to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other than as noted above, Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 4 — Initial Public Offering

Public Units

In connection with the IPO on April 13, 2021, the Company sold 16,000,000 Public Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit consists of (i) one Public Subunit, which consists of one Public Share and one-quarter of one Public Warrant, and (ii) one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole exercisable Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Each whole Public Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Following the closing of the IPO on April 13, 2021, on a basis of $10.10 per unit, $161,600,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a Trust Account, which has been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company.

The Company granted I-Bankers a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Public Units to cover over-allotments. On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,500,000.

Note 5 — Private Placements

Private Units

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 675,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,750,000, in a private placement. Each Private Unit consists of (i) one Private Subunit, which consists of one Private Share and one-quarter of one Private Warrant, and (ii) one-half of one Private Warrant.

On April 14, 2021, simultaneous with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 22,500 additional Private Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $225,000.

Note 6 — Warrant Liabilities

Public Warrants

There were 12,562,500 Public Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2021, including Public Warrants underlying Public Units and Public Subunits. The Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial holders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Initial Business Combination on the date of the completion of the Initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the subunits or Class A ordinary shares, as the case may be, during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes the Initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of Public Warrants When the Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

• upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and

• if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification. The Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify such shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the warrants were offered by the Company in the IPO.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the shareholders of issuing the maximum number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder

would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the warrant price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

Private Warrants

There were 523,125 Private Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2021, including Private Warrants underlying Private Units. Except as described below, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants.

The Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions as described under “Principal Shareholders — Transfers of Founder Shares and Placement Units” in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on April 12, 2021) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor, I-Bankers, their designees, or their permitted transferees. The Sponsor, I-Bankers, their designees, or their permitted transferees has the option to exercise the Private Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, I-Bankers, their designees, or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

If holders of the Private Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, the holders would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the historical fair market value. The “historical fair market value” will mean the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the holders of warrants.

The warrant agreement contains an Alternative Issuance provision that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Class A ordinary shares in the Business Combination is payable in the form of shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following the Business Combination , and if the holders properly exercises the warrants within thirty days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the Business Combination by the Company, the warrant price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference of (i) the warrant price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) (but in no event less than zero) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (assuming zero dividends) (“Bloomberg”). “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Class A ordinary shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per Class A ordinary share, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares as reported during the ten-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the Business Combination. The warrant agreement also contains a Tender Offer provision which provides that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s ordinary share, all holders of the warrants (both the Public Warrants and Private Warrants) would be entitled to receive cash for their warrants.

The Company accounted for the 13,085,625 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that, because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.

Note 6 — Warrant Liabilities (cont.)

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company recorded a derivative liability upon the closing of the IPO. The warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification. The fair value of the liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

Initial Measurement

The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte-Carlo simulation model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility (pre-merger and post-merger), expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on management’s understanding of the volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is simulated based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. The assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values at the end of the reporting period represent the Company’s best estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Public Warrants and Private Warrants were as follows at April 13, 2021:

Inputs |  | Public Warrant |  | Private Warrant
Exercise price |  | $ | 11.50 |  |  | $ | 11.50 |
Stock price |  | $ | 9.02 |  |  | $ | 9.02 |
Volatility |  |  | 14% pre-merger/ 24.4% post-merger |  |  |  | 14% pre-merger/ 24.4% post-merger |
Expected term of the warrants |  |  | 5.85 years |  |  |  | 5.85 years |
Risk-free rate |  |  | 1.07 | % |  |  | 1.07 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 0 |

Subsequent Measurement

The fair value of the Public Warrants at September 30, 2021 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate value of Public Warrants was $5,403,131.

The estimated fair value of the Private Warrants on September 30, 2021 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte-Carlo simulation model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility (pre-merger and post-merger), expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on management’s understanding of the volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is simulated based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. The assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values at the end of the reporting period represent the Company’s best estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

Founder Shares

On August 7, 2020, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.00435 per share. Up to 750,000 shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised.

On September 17, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 Founder Shares each to Mr. Abedin and two former director nominees, at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. The Sponsor subsequently repurchased the 100,000 Founder Shares from the two former director nominees and 25,000 Founder Shares from Mr. Abedin at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share.

On March 5, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of the other two directors including Mr. Jayesh Chandan and Mr. Amir Kazmi at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full.

On April 8, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 1,150,000 Founder Shares. This resulted in an aggregate of 4,600,000 Founder Shares outstanding, of which up to 600,000 are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full.

On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units. As a result of the over-allotment option being only partially exercised, 412,500 Founder Shares were forfeited on April 15, 2021.

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares for a period ending on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or earlier, in any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the initial holders may transfer, assign or sell their Founder Shares with the Company’s consent to any person or entity that agrees in writing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in the prior sentence.

Due to Related Parties

The balance of $586 and $122, respectively, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist of operating costs paid by a related party on behalf of the Company.

Related Party Loans

On August 7, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. The Company had drawn down $300,000 under the promissory note with the Sponsor and the promissory note was fully paid as of September 30, 2021.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company has agreed, commencing on the Effective Date of the Company’s registration statement for the IPO, to pay an affiliate of the Company’s CEO a monthly fee of an aggregate of $10,000 for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a Business Combination or the distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had not incurred any administrative service fee. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $30,000 and $57,667, respectively, administrative service fees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Global SPAC Partners Co.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Global SPAC Partners Co. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows as of and for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 6, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, its business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing transaction and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2020 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation

Global SPAC Partners Co. (the “company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 6, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “initial business combination”). The company has not selected any specific business combination target with respect to the initial business combination.

As of December 31, 2020, the company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 6, 2020, the company’s inception, through December 31, 2020 relates to the company’s formation and the proposed initial public offering (as defined below). The company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The company’s sponsor is Global SPAC Sponsors LLC (formerly known as Global SPAC Partners Sponsors LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (the “sponsor”). The company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through a proposed public offering (the “proposed public offering”, see Note 3) and a private placement of placement units to the sponsor or its designees and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (the “private placement”, see Note 4).

The company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter into a business combination.

Upon the closing of the proposed public offering, the company will place an aggregate of $10 per unit sold in the proposed public offering in a trust account (the “trust account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the company to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses in the event that the company is unable to consummate a business combination and must be liquidated, the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the placement units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (c) the redemption of the company’s public shares if the company is unable to complete the initial business combination within the combination period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the company’s public shareholders.

The company will have 21 months from the closing of the proposed public offering (or 24 months if the Company executes a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 21 months from the closing of the proposed public offering) to consummate a business combination (the “combination period”). However, if the company is unable to complete a business combination within the combination period, the company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the combination period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation (cont.)

Going Concern Consideration

As of December 31, 2020, the company had $21,432 in cash and a working capital deficit of $308,942 (excluding deferred offering costs). The company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a proposed public offering as discussed in Note 3. There is no assurance that the company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a business combination will be successful within the combination period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the proposed public offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the sponsor. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 750,000 ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriter (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2020, the company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the company’s assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Income Taxes

The company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Proposed Public Offering

In the proposed public offering, the company will offer for sale 20,000,000 units, or 23,000,000 units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit (the “public units”). Each unit consists of one subunit and one-third of a warrant. Each subunit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of a warrant. Each whole exercisable warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Each whole warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of this proposed offering and will expire five years after the completion of the initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Note 4 — Private Placement

The company’s sponsor and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 595,000 units, or 655,000 units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “placement units”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,950,000, or $6,550,000 if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full. Each unit consists of one subunit and one-third of a warrant. Each subunit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of a warrant.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On August 7, 2020, the company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.00435 per share. Up to 750,000 shares are subject to forfeiture by the sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised.

On September 17, 2020, the sponsor transferred 50,000 founder shares each to Mr. Abedin and two former director nominees, at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. The sponsor subsequently repurchased the 100,000 founder shares from the two former director nominees and 25,000 founder shares from Mr. Abedin at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share.

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares for a period ending on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of the date of the consummation of the company’s initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of the company’s Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending at least 150 days after the consummation of its initial business combination or earlier, in any case, if, following a business combination, the company engages in a subsequent transaction (1) resulting in its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or (2) involving a consolidation, merger or similar transaction that results in change in the majority of its board of directors or management team in which the company is the surviving entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with an initial business combination, the initial shareholders may transfer, assign or sell their founder shares with the company’s consent to any person or entity that agrees in writing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in the prior sentence.

Administrative Service Fee

The company has agreed, commencing on the effective date of the prospectus, to pay the affiliate of the company’s CEO a monthly fee of an aggregate of $10,000 for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. This arrangement will terminate upon completion of a business combination or the distribution of the trust account to the public shareholders.

Due to Related Party

As of December 31, 2020, a related party paid $122 on behalf of the company to pay for formation costs.

Related Party Loans

On August 7, 2020, the company issued an unsecured promissory note to the sponsor, pursuant to which the company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of this offering. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the closing of this offering. The loan will be repaid upon the closing of this offering out of the offering proceeds not held in the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, the company had drawn down $300,000 under the promissory note with the sponsor to be used for a portion of the expenses of this offering.

Bryant B. Edwards, our CEO, funded approximately $188,714 of the aforementioned loan to us on behalf of the sponsor and, at our request, paid the funds directly to our vendor to settle outstanding offering expenses.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions (cont.)

In order to finance transactions costs in connection with a business combination, post the company’s proposed offering, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of the company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the company funds as may be required. If the company completes a business combination, the company would repay the working capital loans. In the event that a business combination does not close, the company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the working capital loans but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the working capital loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender at the time of the business combination. The units would be identical to the placement units sold in the private placement.

Note 6 — Commitments & Contingencies

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus 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 these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Underwriters Agreement

The company will grant I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (the “underwriter”) a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any.

The underwriter will be entitled to a cash underwriting discount of one percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the proposed public offering, or $4,000,000 (or up to $4,600,000 if the underwriter’s over-allotment is exercised in full). Additionally, the underwriter will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the proposed public offering upon the completion of the company’s initial business combination. The company has also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for up to $201,000 of background check, road show and legal expenses associated with this proposed offering.

The company will issue the underwriter 100,000 representative shares at $0.0001 per share upon the consummation of this offering.

In February 2021, the company and underwriter agreed to revise underwriter’s agreement to include a commitment by the underwriter to purchase 200,000 private units (plus an additional 30,000 private units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (See Note 8)

The underwriter has agreed that the deferred underwriting commissions will be reduced pro rata for redemptions from the trust account prior to completion of the initial business combination, up to a maximum reduction of 50%. In addition, the underwriter has agreed that the company may allocate up to 30% of the net deferred underwriting commissions, after any reductions due to redemptions, to a firm or firms who assists the company in connection with completing the initial business combination.

Legal Fees

The Company agreed to pay Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP $25,000 of legal fees upon filing of the Company’s amended registration statement and an additional $175,000 upon the consummation of this offering. These amounts have not been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

Representative Shares

The company has agreed to issue the underwriter 100,000 representative shares at $0.0001 per share upon the consummation of this offering. The holders of the representative shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the company’s prior consent until the completion of the company’s initial business combination. In addition, the holders of the representative shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the company’s

initial business combination; (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the company fails to complete its initial business combination within the combination period; and (iii) to vote in favor of our initial business combination with respect to such shares if we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote.

Note 7 — Shareholder’s Equity

Preference Shares — The company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2020, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2020, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2020, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Of the 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the company for no consideration to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders will collectively own 20% of the company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the proposed public offering (excluding the placement shares and representative shares and assuming our initial holders do not purchase any public units in this offering).

Class A ordinary shareholders and Class B ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as required by law; provided, that holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to appoint all of the company’s directors prior to the initial business combination and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like.

Note 8 — Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

In February 2021, the Company elected to revise the offering terms of the proposed public offering. The changes included (i) reduction in the number of warrants contained in the unit (but outside of the subunit) from one-half to one-third and (ii) a commitment by the underwriter, I-Bankers Securities, to purchase 200,000 private units (plus an additional 30,000 private units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full).

On March 5, 2021, the sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of two director nominees including Mr. Jayesh Chandan and Mr. Amir Kazmi at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full.

In March 2021, the Company elected to revise the offering terms of the proposed public offering. The changes included (i) the number of warrants contained in the unit (but outside of the subunit) will be one-half of one warrant, (ii) the duration of the combination period will be 12 months, (iii) the number of placement units to be sold in the private placement will be 795,000 at $10.00 per unit and will generate $7.95 million of total proceeds (if the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the number of placements units to be sold in the private placement will be 885,000 at $10.00 per unit and will generate $8.85 million of total proceeds), (iv) an amount equal to at least $10.10 per public unit sold in the proposed public offering will be placed in the trust account from the proceeds of the sale of the public and private units; and (v) the maximum reduction of the deferred underwriting commissions resulting from redemptions from the trust account will be 20%.

BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

This Business Combination Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 21, 2021 by and among (i) Global SPAC Partners Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, “SPAC”), (ii) Gorilla Merger Sub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and (iii) Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”). SPAC, Merger Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, SPAC is a blank check company and has been incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses;

Each Company Warrant shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the SPAC Warrants, except that in each case they shall represent the right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares in lieu of SPAC Shares. At or prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Company Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Company Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Company Warrants.

(h) Effect of the Merger on Issued Securities of the Company.

(i) Prior to Closing (effective immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and the transactions described in Section 1.1(f)), the Company shall effect the actions described in this clause (i) (collectively, the “Recapitalization”):

1. Each Company Preferred Share shall become and be converted into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents;

2. immediately following such conversion, but for the avoidance of doubt prior to the Merger Effective Time, each then outstanding Company Ordinary Share shall, as a result of the Recapitalization, become and be converted into such number of Company Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $650,000,000, by (B) $10.00, and subsequently dividing such quotient by (C) the sum of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares then outstanding and (ii) without duplication, the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all Outstanding Company Options, and taking such quotient to five decimal places, which ratio is referred to as the “Conversion Ratio”, with all fractional Company Ordinary Shares being rounded up to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares (such that following such Recapitalization, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Ordinary Shares shall be valued at $10.00 per share based on a $650,000,000 valuation on a fully-diluted basis), and

3. as a result of the Recapitalization, each Outstanding Company Option shall be adjusted to reflect the Recapitalization as set forth in Section 1.1(h); (i) as more thoroughly described in Article I, immediately following the consummation of the Recapitalization, Merger Sub shall, at the Merger Effective Time, be merged with and into SPAC, which shall continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and in connection therewith, (A) as more thoroughly described in Section 1.1(f)(i), each SPAC Class A Share, and each SPAC Class B Share, in each instance, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive the SPAC Shares Merger Consideration, and (B) as more thoroughly described in Section 1.1(f)(iv), Company will effect the Company Warrant Assumption; and (ii) the memorandum and articles of association of SPAC shall be amended and restated in the form of the Surviving Company Memorandum and Articles of Association attached as Exhibit G and each issued and outstanding ordinary share of Merger Sub shall become and be converted into a New SPAC Ordinary Share, and the corporate name of SPAC shall be changed to a name mutually agreed upon by SPAC and the Company, with the result that the Surviving Company is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

a. For the avoidance of doubt, all Company Ordinary Shares, and outstanding Company Options, in each instance, outstanding prior to the consummation of the Merger shall remain outstanding following the consummation of the Merger and shall in no way be affected by the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, each outstanding Company Option, outstanding immediately prior to (and as part of) the consummation of the Recapitalization shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof and in accordance with the provisions of the outstanding Company Option, become an option to purchase such number of Company Ordinary Shares, in each instance determined by (i) multiplying the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon such exercise of such security by the Conversion Ratio and (ii) dividing the exercise price of such security by the Conversion Ratio. No fractional Company Ordinary Shares shall be issued to holders of Company Ordinary Shares. All fractional Company Ordinary Shares shall be rounded to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares, and the adjusted purchase price or exercise price shall be computed to two decimal places.

(i) Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the SPAC and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(j) No Liability; No Further Ownership Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.1, none of the Company, SPAC or Merger Sub or any Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. All consideration issuable in accordance with the consummation of the Merger shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to any SPAC Securities and from and after the Merger Effective Time, the holders thereof shall have no right other than to receive the consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger

Annex A-5

Table of Contents

in accordance with this Section 1.1. At the close of business on the day on which the Merger Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of SPAC shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company or the Company of the SPAC Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(k) Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article I to the contrary (but excluding in all instances any action taken as part of the Recapitalization), if, between the effectiveness of the Recapitalization and the Merger Effective Time, (a) the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share sub-division (including share consolidation), split-up, combination or exchange or readjustment of shares, (b) a share capitalization or dividend payable in any other securities of the Company shall be declared with a record date within such period, or (c) any similar event shall have occurred, then in each case the Company Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder in exchange for SPAC Securities shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders thereof the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

1.2 [Reserved].

1.3 Withholding. Each of SPAC, the Company and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.4 [Reserved].

1.5 Intended Tax Treatment. Each of the Parties agrees that the Merger is intended to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to comply with the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes except to the extent required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and Tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.6 Dissenter’s Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Cayman Act, SPAC Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by shareholders of the SPAC who shall have demanded properly in writing dissenters’ rights for such SPAC Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Act and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the Cayman Act relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights shall not be converted into, and such shareholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable merger consideration unless and until such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Act. The SPAC Shares owned by any shareholder of the SPAC who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its dissenters’ rights pursuant to the Cayman Act shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Merger Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable merger consideration, without any interest thereon. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give SPAC prompt notice of any demands for dissenters’ rights received by the SPAC and any withdrawals of such demands and the SPAC shall have complete control over all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such dissenters’ rights (including the ability to make any payment with respect to any exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such dissenter rights or demands).

1.7 SPAC Securities and Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company and SPAC shall appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as exchange agent, or another exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of, (i) exchanging each SPAC Share for one Company Ordinary Share and (ii) exchanging each SPAC Warrant on the warrant transfer books of SPAC immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time for the Company Warrants issuable in respect of such SPAC Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Annex A-6

Table of Contents

(b) All securities issued upon the surrender of SPAC Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of SPAC Securities shall also apply to the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants so issued in exchange. To the extent that such SPAC Securities are represented by physical certificates, the holders of such SPAC Securities will be provided a letter of transmittal to send their certificated SPAC Securities to the transfer agent and warrant agent for the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants, which shall be the same as the transfer agent and warrant agent for SPAC Securities, and such transfer agent or warrant agent will, upon receipt of completed documentation, issue the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants that are issuable in respect of the holder’s SPAC Securities. To the extent that the SPAC Securities are held in book entry, the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares or Company Warrants will automatically be made by the transfer agent and warrant agent.

(c) In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”), such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.1(f); provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) If the SPAC Shares Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the holder of the SPAC Shares in whose name the transferred SPAC Share in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the SPAC Shares Merger Consideration that (i) the recipient of such SPAC Shares Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such SPAC Shares Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered duly executed counterparts to the applicable transmittal documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent, (ii) such SPAC Shares in book-entry form shall be properly transferred, and (iii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such SPAC Share in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(e) If the SPAC Warrants to be issued to a Person other than the holder in whose name the transferred SPAC Warrant in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the Company Warrants that (i) the recipient of such Company Warrant, or the Person in whose name such Company Warrant is to be issued, shall have already executed and delivered duly executed counterparts to the applicable transmittal documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent, (ii) such SPAC Warrant in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such SPAC Warrant in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(f) After the Merger Effective Time, the register of shareholders of SPAC shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration on the register of shareholders of the Surviving Company of transfers of SPAC Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(g) All securities issued upon the surrender of certificates representing the SPAC Securities (or delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to SPAC Shares represented by such certificates representing SPAC Securities. Any Company Ordinary Shares made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.7 that remains unclaimed by any holder of SPAC Shares one year after the Merger Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company or as otherwise instructed by the Company, and any holder of SPAC Shares who has not exchanged his, her or its SPAC Shares for the SPAC Shares Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.7 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Company for the issuance of the SPAC Shares Merger Consideration without any interest thereon (but with any dividends paid with respect thereto). None of the Company, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any SPAC Shares Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of SPAC Shares immediately prior to

Annex A-7

such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

The Registration Statement shall include such information concerning the Target Companies, SPAC and their respective equity holders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company and SPAC, respectively, shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Company, in no event shall SPAC adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting for more than fifteen (15) Business Days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date that is beyond four (4) Business Days prior to the Outside Date. The recommendation of the SPAC board of directors shall be included in the Registration Statement.

Annex A-52

Table of Contents

Documents to modify the substance or timing of SPAC’s obligation to provide holders of SPAC Class A Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of SPAC Class A Shares if SPAC does not complete a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of SPAC Class A Shares, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months after the closing of the IPO, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any income taxes, and (d) to SPAC after the consummation of a Business Combination, in each case, subject to the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and Merger Sub hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, or make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and Merger Sub on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). The Company and Merger Sub each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its Affiliates to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and Merger Sub further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) the Company and Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates may commence any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, against assets or funds held outside of the Trust Account (including any funds released from the Trust Account and assets that are acquired with such funds but excluding any distributions to Public Shareholders); provided that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behaves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account or any amounts contained therein or any distributions to Public Shareholders, and (B) nothing herein shall limit or prohibit the Company and Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates from pursuing a claim against SPAC for specific performance or other equitable relief. This Section 9.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We will enter into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

• To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

• To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

• To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

• To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

• That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

• To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

• To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (1)(d) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

• Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

• Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

• The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

• Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

II-3

Table of Contents

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (a) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (b) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
