Winston & Strawn LLP is representing Digital Virgo Group— a French corporation with a leading global platform for payment and monetization of digital content and services for entertainment, sports, lifestyle, and ultimately, transportation, education, and everyday needs—in its business combination with Goal Acquisitions Corp. (Nasdaq: PUCK), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Upon closing, Goal will be renamed "Digital Virgo Group, Inc.," and its common stock is expected to be publicly listed in the United States. The proposed business combination is expected to provide at least US$100M in cash to Digital Virgo, allowing the company to enhance growth and expand into North America and other priority markets. Based on a US$10 per share price, the transaction values Digital Virgo at an enterprise value of approximately US$513M. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Digital Virgo Strategic Committee and the Goal Board of Directors. It is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including Goal shareholder approval, approval for listing on NASDAQ, European electronic money institution approvals, a minimum of US$20M in cash being available at closing, and the execution of definitive agreements for a US$100M committed capital on demand facility.

What Is Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)?

Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a database of information that’s shared and duplicated across a network of computers in different locations. In contrast to a centralized ledger, it’s a flexible system of recording information.
