Deal with Altimeter Capital special purpose acquisition company will value Grab at approximately $40 billion

Singapore – April 14, 2021 – Cooley advised J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Evercore as part of Grab's agreement to merge with Altimeter Capital's special purpose acquisition company or SPAC. The transaction marks the largest SPAC merger in history and values the SoftBank-backed technology company at approximately $40 billion. Will Cai in Hong Kong and Ferish Patel in Singapore led a global team of Cooley lawyers across Hong Kong, Singapore and the US on the transaction.

At closing, Grab – Southeast Asia's most valuable startup and its leading superapp – is expected to receive $4.5 billion in cash proceeds, including more than $4 billion from a fully committed PIPE offering that was upsized due to significant investor interest. Furthermore, Altimeter has committed up to $500 million to a contingent investment to be equal to the aggregate dollar amount of redemptions from Altimeter Growth's shareholders.
