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.
