RF Acquisition Corp. Closes Business Combination with GCL Asia to Go Public
Winston & Strawn represented RF Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, in its business combination with Grand Centrex Limited, one of Asia's leading video game distributors and publishers. The combined company, GCL, is now listed on Nasdaq under the reserved ticker symbol "GCL.” The transaction gives GCL approximately $1.2 billion in pre-transaction equity value. GCL's existing shareholders will roll over 100% of the equity and retain a majority of the Combined Company's outstanding shares, while GCL also designated a majority of the Combined Company's board of directors. The transaction includes a minimum cash condition of $25,000,000 and resulted in GCL receiving gross proceeds of approximately $42.9 million (assuming no further redemptions by RF Acquisition shareholders). RF Acquisition and GCL have agreed to work together to pursue commitments for a private placement of equity, debt, or other alternative financings of up to $20 million.

Winston & Strawn associate William Logan was quoted in a Law360 article following a significant decision by the Texas Fifteenth Court of Appeals, which granted mandamus relief to nonparty patients seeking to protect their private medical records in a lawsuit concerning gender-affirming care. Winston represents the patients in opposing the State’s overly broad requests to secure their medical information. The appellate court directed a lower court to withdraw its order requiring two Dallas hospitals to produce documents related to the care of transgender patients, finding that the lower court had abused its discretion.

What Is Privacy Compliance Law?
The area of privacy compliance law addresses how organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements for collecting, processing, or maintaining personal information. Data privacy breaches can lead to regulatory investigations and fines. When privacy is compromised, consumers or employees may respond with civil lawsuits. It is recommended, but not required by a federal law, that companies create and post privacy policies on websites and mobile apps. Once posted, companies must follow these policies or face scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission. (California and Delaware state law does require privacy policies to be posted on websites and mobile applications, if the site collects personally identifiable information).
