Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on January 8, 2021, GX Acquisition Corp. (“GX”) entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Celularity Inc. (“Celularity”), Alpha First Merger Sub, Inc. and Alpha Second Merger Sub, LLC. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Celularity will become a wholly owned subsidiary of GX (the “Business Combination”).

Additionally, as previously disclosed, on May 14, 2021, GX held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of GX at which holders voted to approve the proposal to amend GX’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which GX must complete its initial business combination from May 23, 2021 to July 31, 2021 (the “Extension”). In connection with the Extension, GX agreed to deposit into the trust account $0.025 per share for each month of the Extension period, pro-rated for partial months during the Extension period, resulting in a maximum contribution of $0.0565 per share of Class A common stock that was not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting.

On May 21, 2021, GX deposited the first of two portions of this contribution into the trust account, which was an amount equal to $0.0315 per share of Class A common stock not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting (representing an aggregate contribution of $396,270.13). On July 1, 2021, GX deposited the second portion of this contribution into the trust account, which was an amount equal to $0.025 per share of Class A Common stock not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting (representing an aggregate contribution of $314,500.10).

Also on July 1, 2021, Celularity issued a press release announcing that it had entered into an Exclusive Supply and Distribution Agreement for multiple commercial products with Arthrex, Inc. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The foregoing Exhibit 99.1 and the information set forth therein is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

GX has filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended on March 29, 2021, April 23, 2021, and June 22, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which includes the proxy statement distributed to holders of GX’s common stock in connection with GX’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by GX’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as described in the Registration Statement, and a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Celularity’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 25, 2021 and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents have been mailed to GX’s stockholders as of the record date established for voting on the Business Combination and the other proposals regarding the Business Combination. GX’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive proxy statement / prospectus in connection with GX’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about GX, Celularity and the Business Combination. Stockholders may also obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by GX, without charge, at the SEC website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to GX, 1325 Avenue of the Americas, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10019.

Participants in the Solicitation

GX and its directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of GX’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. GX’s stockholders and other interested persons may obtain, without charge, more detailed information regarding the directors and officers of GX in GX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021, GX’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the SEC on December 4, 2020, the Registration Statement and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, which was filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021.

Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of GX’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination and other matters to be voted upon at the special meeting are set forth in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus for the Business Combination. Additional information regarding the interests of participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Business Combination is included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus for the Business Combination.

Non-Solicitation

This communication is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Celularity, the combined company or GX, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

Forward Looking Statements

This communication contains, or incorporates by reference, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as well as within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the parties’ expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: (i) the ability to consummate the Business Combination; (ii) the expected benefits of the Business Combination; (iii) the financial and business performance of Celularity; (iv) the inability to complete the PIPE Investment; (v) the success and timing of Celularity’s cellular therapeutic development activities and initiating clinical trials; (vi) the success and timing of Celularity’s planned clinical trials; (vii) Celularity’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of any of Celularity’s therapeutic candidates; (viii) Celularity’s plans to research, discover and develop additional therapeutic candidates, including by leveraging genetic engineering and other technologies and expanding into additional indications; (ix) Celularity’s ability to expand its manufacturing capabilities, and to manufacture Celularity’s therapeutic candidates and scale production; (x) Celularity’s ability to meet certain milestones; (xi) changes in Celularity’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; (xii) the implementation, market acceptance and success of Celularity’s business model; (xiii) developments and projections relating to Celularity’s competitors and industry; (xiv) the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on Celularity’s business and the actions Celularity may take in response thereto; (xv) Celularity’s expectations regarding its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others; (xvi) expectations regarding the time during which GX will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; (xvii) Celularity’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; (xviii) Celularity’s ability to obtain funding for its operations; (xix) Celularity’s business, expansion plans and opportunities; (xx) the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings; and (xxi) changes in applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, codes, executive orders, injunctions, judgments, decrees or other orders or the interpretation thereof. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this communication, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty. If any of these risks materialize or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the parties do not presently know, or that they currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the parties’ expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. The parties anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the parties’ views as of any subsequent date, and the parties do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Additional risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in the parties’ reports filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
