NEW YORK, NY, Dec. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Music Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: TMAC, TMAC.U), a special purpose acquisition company, previously announced that it intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), including the redemption of all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock (the “public shares”) that were included in the units issued in its initial public offering on December 2, 2022 (the “Redemption Date”) because the Company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Certificate of Incorporation.
The Company today announced that its trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering has been liquidated and that 22,367,351 of the Company’s public shares were submitted to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and were redeemed on December 1, 2022 at a price of approximately $10.05 per share.

Trading of the Company’s public shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) were suspended before market open on December 2, 2022 and the NYSE filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2022 a Form 25 to delist the Company’s securities from the NYSE. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s securities will not be listed or registered on another national exchange or on a quotation medium.
