GDEV (Kismet Acquisition One) Priced, Nasdaq: GDEV

Blank check company formed by the former CEO of MegaFon targeting a Russian business (completed 8/27/2021).

Industry: SPAC

First Day Return: -0.2%

We are a newly organized blank check company. We will seek to capitalize on the substantial deal sourcing, investing and operating expertise of our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Tavrin. Mr. Tavrin is a founder of UTH Russia Limited, or UTH, one of the largest independent media broadcasting groups in Russia, which comprises 3 television networks, including leading musical channel Muz-TV, reality TV channel U and the Disney Channel (Russia) owned pursuant to a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company, or Disney (NYSE: DIS). While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry or sector and in any region, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background so we can capitalize on their ability to identify, acquire and operate a business. We therefore intend to focus on companies in the telecommunications infrastructure, internet and technology and consumer goods and services sectors operating in Russia (which may include a business based in Russia which has operations or opportunities outside of Russia or a business based outside of Russia which has operations or opportunities in Russia); however, we may decide to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that is not based in, and does not have any operations or opportunities in Russia.
