LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Games & Esports Experience Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") announced today the pricing of its upsized initial public offering ("IPO") of 17,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit. The units will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and trade under the ticker symbol "GEEXU" beginning tomorrow, December 2, 2021. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company's Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "GEEX" and "GEEXW," respectively.

The IPO is expected to close on December 6, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, it intends to focus its search on target businesses in interactive media, operating directly within or adjacent to competitive gaming and esports sectors or in industries with similar user characteristics or demographics including, but not limited to, ecommerce, media, content and other intellectual property, sports & entertainment, and social media. Concurrently with the initial business combination, the Company currently plans to merge with Gamers Club Holdings, LLC, a gaming technology subscription platform and community hub based in Brazil and an affiliate of GEEX Sponsor, LLC, the Company's sponsor. The Company will not, however, complete an initial business combination with only Gamers Club.
