The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of financial information of Global Star and K Wave, and the six Korean Entities as of December 31, 2024, adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination, the acquisition of the Six Korean entities and related transactions. 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, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Global Star has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, assumes that the Business Combination occurred December 31, 2024.

Description of the Transactions

 

Business Combination

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreements, on January 2, 2025, K Enter consummated the business combinations with the six Korean Entities (“New K Enter”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Global Star reincorporated to Cayman Islands by merging with and into K Wave Media Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Global Star (“PubCo”), with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); (ii) one (1) business day following the Reincorporation Merger, GLST Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, merged with and into K Enter, resulting in K Enter being a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger and the Acquisition Merger are collectively referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”. Also on the Closing Date, the Global Star acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of K Wave Media (the “Purchased Shares”) from the Sellers in exchange for the Company’s ordinary shares (“Company Ordinary Shares”) par value $0.0001 per share (the “Share Exchange”).

 

More specifically, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”):

 

The following table summarizes the pro forma number of shares of K Wave Media outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, discussed further in the sections below, excluding the potential dilutive effect of the K Wave Media Public Warrants, Private Warrants, and Convertible Note Warrants.

Accounting for the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a capital reorganization, in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, Global Star is be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and New K Enter is the accounting “acquirer”. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:

 

  New K Enter’s existing stockholders will hold a majority of the voting rights of PubCo post Business Combination;
     
  By virtue of such estimated voting interest upon the Closing, New K Enter’s existing stockholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of New K Enter following the Closing;

 

  New K Enter will have control over the Board;

 

  New K Enter’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of PubCo;
     
  New K Enter is the larger entity in terms of substantive operations and employee base; and

 

  New K Enter’s senior management will comprise the senior management of PubCo.

 

Another determining factor was that Global Star does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3, and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization within the scope of IFRS 2, where New K Enter issues stock for the net assets of Global Star. The net assets of Global Star are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Global Star over the fair value of Global Star’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

 

The acquisition of Play Company by K Enter will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3, with Play Company considered to be the acquirer of K Enter for financial reporting purposes. As Play Company’s basis of accounting is IFRS, K Enter’s basis of accounting (following the acquisition of Play Company) will be IFRS.

 

The acquisitions of each of the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company by K Enter will also be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3, with K Enter (following the acquisition of Play Company, its predecessor) considered to be the acquirer of each of the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company. New K Enter’s basis of accounting will be IFRS, consistent with that of its predecessor, Play Company.

 

The overall impact of the accounting conclusions set out above will be that the financial statements of Play Company will become those of K-Enter post-consummation and will not experience a change in basis as a result of the application of the acquisition method while each of K Enter and the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company will experience a change in basis as a result of the application of the acquisition method and will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Play Company on a prospective basis post-consummation.

 

This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:

 

  Play Company’s existing stockholders will hold a large minority voting interest in New K Enter where no other owner has a significant voting interest;

 

  Play Company’s CEO has the ability to appoint a majority of directors of New K Enter’s board of directors;

 

  Play Company’s CEO has the ability to appoint the senior management of New K Enter;

 

  Play Company’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New K Enter; and

 

  Play Company is the larger entity in terms of substantive operations and employee base.

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values, with the excess purchase price, if any, allocated to goodwill. Costs related to the transaction are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

 

Acquisition of the Six Korean Entities

 

K Enter closed the equity purchase for Play Company first and the acquisitions of each of the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company closed subsequently on January 2, 2025.

 

The acquisition of each of the Six Korean Entities by K Enter will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3, with Play Company considered to be the acquirer of K Enter. As Play Company’s basis of accounting is IFRS, the combined K Enter – Play Company entity basis of accounting will be IFRS.

 

The acquisitions of each of the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company by K Enter post the acquisition of Play Company will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3, with K Enter post the acquisition of Play Company considered to be the acquirer of each of the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company. As K Enter post the acquisition of Play Company basis of accounting is IFRS, New K Enter’s basis of accounting will be IFRS.

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values, with the excess purchase price, if any, allocated to goodwill. Costs related to the transaction are expensed as incurred. K Enter and Play Company are referred to as “New K Enter” in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS 2 as Global Star does not meet the criteria to be determined a business under IFRS 3. Under this method of accounting, Global Star is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and New K Enter is treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that PubCo will experience. New K Enter and Global Star 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 unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations reflects the acquisition of the Six Korean Entities that closed on January 2, 2025 as if it had occurred on December 3 1, 2024, and January 1, 2024, respectively.

 

The historical financial statements of the Six Korean Entities have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its presentation and functional currency of the Korean Republic Won (“KRW”). The historical financial statements of Global Star have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in its presentation and functional currency of the USD. The historical financial statements of K Enter have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in its presentation currency of USD. The historical financial statements of K Wave Media Ltd have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of USD. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects IFRS, the basis of accounting that will be used by PubCo. Global Star’s and K Enter’s historical financial statements have been converted from U.S. GAAP to IFRS to align with the basis of accounting that will be used by PubCo. See Note 3 – IFRS Conversion and Presentation Alignment.

The historical financial statements of the Six Korean Entities have been translated into and are presented in USD using the following exchange rates:

 

  at the period exchange rate as of December 31, 2024 of US$1.00 to KRW$1,477.86 for the balance sheet;
     
  the average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 of US$1.00 to KRW$1,363.438 for the statement of operations for the period ending on that date;

 

Note 2 — IFRS Conversion and Presentation Alignment

 

The historical financial information of Global Star has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Two adjustments required to convert Global Star’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information were to (i) reclassify Global Star Class A Common Stock subject to redemption to non-current financial liabilities under IFRS 2, as stockholders have the right to require Global Star to redeem the common stock and Global Star has an irrevocable obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument for such redemption, and (ii) reclassify GLST Warrants from equity (under U.S. GAAP) to non-current financial liabilities under IAS 32 measured at fair value through profit or loss, due to the “cashless” settlement provisions in the warrant agreement.

 

There were no adjustments required to adjust the historical financial information of K Enter to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Further, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, certain reclassifications were made to align Global Star’s historical financial information and K Enter’s historical financial information in accordance with the presentation of Play Company’s historical financial information.

Note 3 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

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, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). EFHAC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to include all necessary Transaction Accounting Adjustments pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X, including those that are not expected to have a continuing impact.

 

The audited historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the accounting for the transaction under IFRS. K Wave Media and Global Star 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 pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of the Combined Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2024.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Foma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, are as follows:

 

  A. Reflects the allocation, on a preliminary basis, of the cost associated with the acquisition of K Enter and the Six Korean Entities other than Play Company as if the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2024. Play Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer under IFRS 3. The final allocation of the purchase consideration will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but in no event later than one year following the completion of the transaction. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of New K Enter due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Management made an initial determination that approximately $30.3 million of the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired (liabilities assumed), non-controlling interest, and aggregate fair value purchase consideration should be allocated to identifiable intangible assets. The unidentified excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

 

  (a) The Six Korean Entities were issued an aggregate of 14,675,034 shares of K Wave Media ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, at a value of $7.20 per share. The price per share was calculated as follows:

 

Total shares of K Wave Media issued to the Six Korean Entities     14,675,034  
Estimated Price per share of Global Star as of May 12, 2025   $ 7.20  
Value of K Wave Media ordinary shares   $ 105,660,245  

 

  (b) The Earnout was determined to be part of the business combination (i.e., consideration) and therefore in accordance with IFRS 3, such contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and included within the calculation of goodwill. The liability-classified arrangement is recorded at fair value at initial recognition; measurement is updated at each reporting date, with changes recognized in the income statement each reporting period until the arrangement is settled or derecognized. The terms of the Earnout state that depending on the achievement by Play Company of the annual average net profit for Fiscal Years 2023 to 2025, New K Enter shall make additional payments to the Seller as follows: (1) if the average net profit for the said years is less than 75% (KRW 12.105 billion) of the target amount separately agreed between the Parties (KRW 16.14 billion) or exceeds 125% of the said target amount (KRW 20.175 billion), New K Enter shall pay to the Seller in cash (KRW) on January 31, 2027 and January 31, 2028 (the “Payment Date”, respectively) an amount calculated by multiplying the achieved percentage based on the annual average net profit for Fiscal Years 2023 to 2025 by KRW 9.05 billion and (ii) if the average net profit for the said years is no less than 75% of the target amount (KRW 12.105 billion) and no greater than 125% of the target amount (KRW 20.175 billion) New K Enter shall pay KRW 9.05 billion to the Seller on each Payment Date. Each payment above shall be deemed as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. The Earnout was valued with a Monte Carlo Model simulation. The fair value was the discounted cash flow from the date of payment. The net profit was assumed to grow at a specified industry growth rate and fluctuate with the projected earnings volatility. The projected earnings volatility was based upon guideline public companies.
     
  (c) In accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9, the call option liability is representative of a financial liability to potentially issue equity shares and/or transfer assets of the combined entity; therefore, the call option liability will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and included within the calculation of goodwill. The liability-classified arrangement is recorded at fair value at initial recognition; measurement is updated at each reporting date, with changes recognized in the income statement each reporting period until the arrangement is settled or derecognized. The fair value pricing of the call option liability was determined by applying the binomial option pricing model. The assumptions utilized in the option pricing model included: (a) equity share price of 10,010,425,600 KRW, (b) volatility of 43.75%, and (c) risk-free rate of 3.642%
     
  (d) Pursuant to the Play Company equity purchase agreement, an aggregate of KRW 36,233,103,400 (or approximately USD $24,716,377) will be paid as follows:

  (e) An additional payment in cash may be owed to the owner of Play Company if the shares of PubCo that the shares of New K Enter’s common stock convert to at closing of the Acquisition Merger are sold during the three-month period (the “Sale Period”) following the six-month lock-up period of the newly issued shares of PubCo at a per share price less than the per share value at closing of the Acquisition Merger for the shortfall in share price. The amount to be paid will be reduced by (i) any realized gains from the sale of additional shares of PubCo by the owner of Play Company between the end of the Sale Period and December 31, 2026, and (ii) the unrealized gain as of December 31, 2026 for the shares that remain held by the owner of Play Company (calculated as the number of remaining shares of PubCo times the difference of (i) the average closing price of PubCo from December 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and (ii) the per-share value of PubCo at the closing of the Acquisition Merger). The contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value determined using a Black Scholes model that values the put option related to the Shortfall payment obligation as detailed in the Shares Purchase Agreement.
     
  (f) Trademarks were valued based on a Relief of Royalty Method (“RRM”) with a 5-year life. RRM determines the value of an intangible asset by calculating how much a company would save in hypothetical royalty payments if it we to own the asset rather than licensing it from a third party.
     
  (g) IP/Technology was valued based on a Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEE”) for LAMP, Bidangil, Apeitda, and Anseilen. The expected life was 10 years. MPEE is a financial valuation model that estimates revenues and cash flows derived from the intangible asset and then deducts portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets, such as a brand name or fixed assets, that contributed to the generation of the cash flows. IP/Technology was valued based on RRM for Solaire Partners. The expected life was 5 years.
     
  (h) Customer relationships/bases were valued using MPEE. The expected life for LAMP was 8 years, the expected life for Bidangil was 8 years, the expected life for Apeitda was 8 years, and the expected life for Solaire Partners was 8.4 years.
     
  (i) Non-competes were valued using a With and Without Method (“WWM”) with a 5-year term for Bidangil, Apeitda, Anseilen, and Solaire Partners and a 4 year term for LAMP. WWM calculates the difference between two discounted cash flow models: one that represents the status quo for the business enterprise with the asset in place, and another without it.
     
  (j) The table below presents the calculation of the deferred tax liability on the intangible assets recorded in Entry (A) in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of New K Enter using a tax rate of 20.9%:

* The goodwill for K Enter is supported by the following qualitative factor:

 

17

 

 

  Synergic growth between (a) content production and investment businesses, in which K Enter secures IP rights of its films and TV series for additional distribution and advertisement revenues and (b) content production and merchandising businesses, in which K Enter produces goods and merchandises for its films and TV series for additional merchandising revenues.

 

This is further supported by the following qualitative factors:

 

  Organic growth of the content production business, assuming an increase in the production of films and TV series collectively by the four studios (Anseilen, Apeitda, Bidangil and Lamp) and K Enter’s internal production team;
     
  Organic growth of the content merchandising business, assuming an increase in the IP rights coverage for merchandising by Play Company, reflecting Play Company’s recent contract with SM Entertainment;
     
  Organic growth of the content investment business, assuming a serial launching of new content investment funds by Solaire Partners.

 

  (k) As part of the acquisition, the sellers of the Six Korean entities other than Play maintained their respective non-controlling interests. The following table presents the proportionate share of the non-controlling interest recorded to goodwill for each company calculated on the intangible assets identified and the net assets acquired (liabilities assumed), net of the deferred tax liability:

Note 4 — Net Loss per Share

 

Represents the loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2024. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share assumes that the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared with the actual redemptions of Public Shares by Global star’s Public Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024:
