(“MMAC”), and Akazoo Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Scotland (“Old Akazoo”), providing for the business combination between Old Akazoo and MMAC, was consummated (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination combined the assets and businesses of MMAC and Old Akazoo into Akazoo S.A., a Luxembourg public limited company (formerly known as Modern Media Acquisition Corp. S.A.)
