On September 30, 2024, Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. (“SGE”), Fundamental Global Holdings BC ULC, an unlimited liability company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and majority owner of SGE (“FG BC”), and 1483530 B.C. Ltd., a newly formed subsidiary of FG BC (“Subco”), completed an arrangement transaction pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, dated May 30, 2024 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) among such parties, and implemented the plan of arrangement contemplated therein (the “Plan of Arrangement”). In connection with the Arrangement Agreement, among other matters, shares of Class A Common Voting shares of SGE (the “SGE Common Shares”) were deemed to be transferred by the holders thereof to FG BC in exchange for the arrangement consideration (“Arrangement Consideration”) consisting of 1.5 shares of the common stock of Fundamental Global Inc., the indirect sole owner of FG BC (the “Company”), with any fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement were approved and authorized by stockholders of SGE on September 17, 2024, and a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving and authorizing the transaction was issued on September 23, 2024.
The issuance of the Arrangement Consideration was registered pursuant to a joint proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-280346) (as amended, the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and declared effective on July 31, 2024 and filed as definitive proxy materials by SGE on August 13, 2024.
