MIAMI and SEOUL, South Korea, March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GLAAM, Co., Ltd. (“GLAAM” or the “Company”), a leading designer and manufacturer of architectural display glass, and Jaguar Global Growth Corporation I (Nasdaq: JGGC, JGGCR, and JGGCW) (“Jaguar Global”) have entered into a definitive business combination agreement that would result in GLAAM becoming a publicly traded company. As a result of the business combination, GLAAM and Jaguar Global shareholders will exchange their shares for shares in a new combined company (“NewCo”). Upon closing of the transaction, NewCo is expected to be renamed at a later date, and its ordinary shares are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under a new ticker symbol.

GLAAM: A True IT Media Product

GLAAM is the world’s first and only large-scale provider of architectural media glass. The Company manufactures an integrated architectural IT product, G-Glass, that combines architectural glass with customizable, large-scale digital media display capabilities. The product allows buildings to be transformed into huge digital art canvases, transmit real-time event broadcasts, and become interactive experiences through sensors and smartphone connectivity. A video highlighting G-Glass’s capabilities can be found here.

Since its first major installation in 2014, the Company has completed over 460 G-Glass installations, including a 15,000 sq. ft. installation for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and a 43,000 sq. ft. installation at the View (Cedars Sinai) Hospital in Qatar, which represented the world’s largest transparent media screen.

GLAAM Investment Highlights

  • Significant and Expanding Total Addressable Market Centered on Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Media Market: The global DOOH content delivery market has a current estimated value of approximately $20 billion, growing by an estimated 12% per annum between 2021 and 2025.¹ With its innovative display technology, G-Glass broadens the reach of DOOH media to transparent vertical real estate, driving additional value for building owners and developers, as well as generating advertising and media revenues for GLAAM.
  • Proprietary G-Glass Product Outperforms Alternatives, Delivering Value to All Stakeholders: Traditional display options—including LED screens, LED mesh, and LED bars—offer little to no transparency and have durability of less than five years. G-Glass combines media functionality, 99.7% transparency, low operating costs, and architectural-grade durability, providing long-term operating expense savings of approximately 80% for owners and developers.
  • Technology Innovation, At-Scale Production and Market Leadership Provide Competitive Advantages Amid High Entry Barriers: GLAAM has 24 patents and over 30 proprietary raw materials. In addition, the Company has 1.4 million sq. ft. of annual manufacturing capacity, which includes fully proprietary, self-developed production lines, allowing for mass production at the highest quality. These competitive advantages reflect over a decade of development and over $185 million in research and development investments, placing GLAAM an estimated 10-15 years ahead of its competitors.
  • Large and Growing Global Pipeline Across DOOH’s Place-Based and Large Format Wallscape Marketplace Segments: As core tenets of its growth strategy, GLAAM seeks to continue its international expansion, focusing on large-ticket projects that include multi-unit digital place-based networks and large format digital urban wallscapes. GLAAM’s current pipeline includes over $1 billion in potential projects that are in ongoing discussions, with $86 million of these opportunities considered “high probability.”²
  • Growth Strategy Propelled by a Robust International Sales Effort and Increased Emphasis on Advertising Media: GLAAM aims to bolster its regional sales and marketing resources across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. To capture an increasing share of the DOOH market, the Company is working to scale its “Glass-as-a-Service” (GaaS) approach, which reduces upfront costs for customers while retaining their upside and simultaneously allows GLAAM to expand its margin and monetize the installation for the full 30+ years of its expected lifespan.
  • Established Operational Footprint Offers Runway for Rapid Growth: The Company recorded $21 million in revenue and regained breakeven core EBITDA profitability in 2022, following headwinds from COVID-19. As GLAAM executes on its current pipeline and ramps its GaaS model, the Company is expected to grow revenue to $51 million in 2023 and $71 million in 2024, with EBITDA margins of 44% and 48%, respectively.

Management Commentary

“With G-Glass, GLAAM offers a differentiated technology product that can deliver value to all commercial real estate stakeholders and catalyzes growth in some of the most attractive global markets,” said Ho Joon Lee, CEO of GLAAM. “Our technological edge and established operational foundation give us significant advantages in a market with high barriers to entry. We believe we are positioned for rapid growth and are already making major strides to expand our global pipeline with projects across Korea, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. We welcome Jaguar Global’s partnership and support, which will allow us to gain enhanced exposure to investors and key real estate decision-makers across our international target markets. I look forward to a successful transaction and expanding G-Glass’s global growth potential.”

Gary Garrabrant, Chairman and CEO of Jaguar Global, commented: “Joining forces with Ho Joon Lee and GLAAM is a powerful strategic combination, following our 25-year history of active, partner-centric company building. Our presence and focus on the most compelling markets in Asia and globally naturally aligns with GLAAM’s presence and promise. GLAAM’s proven and proprietary technology can broaden the reach of DOOH media to vertical structures of all kinds. We believe capitalizing on our differentiated relationships with industry leaders will catalyze an exciting new chapter of growth for GLAAM as a public company.”

PRESS RELEASE: Largest US Installation of World’s First Digital Media Architectural-Grade LED Glass Integrated by ANC into New York’s Historic Tin Building at Seaport District in Lower Manhattan

Matt Walker

Leading experience design and execution company ANC was selected by acclaimed real estate developer The Howard Hughes Corporation to integrate the newest and most innovative new media technology on the market, GLAAM America’s Media Glass, in its transformation of the historic Tin Building into a new 53,000-square-foot marketplace operated by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Bringing New York’s storied Tin Building to new life requires a careful blend of history with technology, and ANC’s installation in the Tin Building will be the largest deployment of the fully transparent, LED embedded and construction-grade GLAAM Media Glass in the United States.

As the first of many projects to come out of the ANC/GLAAM integration and operation partnership announced in October of 2020, the Tin Building’s installation of GLAAM Media Glass is an opportunity for the building to be at the cutting edge of media technology.

The original Tin Building was home to the famous Fulton Fish Market, a once-burgeoning fish market dating back to the early 1800’s and the epicenter of wholesale fish trade in the United States. Today, the reconstructed building will serve a new generation in the heart of the Seaport District.

GLAAM Media Glass will cover more than 1,100 square feet of space surrounding the escalators in the heart of the building. While on the escalator, shoppers will have clear views of the marketplace awaiting them. The view from the retail floor to the glass will be an ever-changing array of fully programmable content which ANC will tie into the greater audiovisual network at Pier 17 using their proprietary LiveSync control system. ANC has long aided The Howard Hughes Corporation in creating unique digital environments in their developments, and its work on the Tin Building represents a continuation of that with the next generation of media façade technology. ANC is working alongside the project’s architect and design team at Roman and Williams, and construction manager, Plaza Construction.

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with The Howard Hughes Corporation to bring this truly unique experience to life in the revitalized Seaport District – an experience that will set the bar high for what an experiential shopping and dining experience can be,” said Jerry Cifarelli, ANC Founder and Vice Chairman who oversaw The Tin Building project on ANC’s behalf. “Our clients continually look to ANC as an AV design and integration partner to uncover, vet and install the latest technology so they can provide their customers with memorable, engaging experiences. With GLAAM Media Glass in the Tin Building, we can provide that very attractive atmosphere.”

GLAAM Media Glass is unique in that it eliminates the compromise of design and building value from obstructed views and blocked natural light from LED screens, bars, mesh and attachments. The embedded micro-LED technology, weatherproofed and protected from the elements, creates a seamless connection between the physical and digital experience. It requires far less maintenance and repair than previous LED offerings, is priced at a similar capital investment and is estimated to provide 100,000 hours of full brightness over its lifetime, thus creating a total lower cost of ownership.

The Tin Building will also be one of the first in the United States to integrate a commercial video wall in a public space using transparent OLED. The Tin Building is a continuation of ANC’s work with The Howard Hughes Corporation at Pier 17, where ANC designed a custom multimedia system complete with no-bezel LED columns for continuous content display.

“The interest we’re receiving from our clients in the sports, entertainment, transit and development worlds signals a huge demand for these new media technologies,” said George Linardos, ANC President and Chief Executive Officer. “The future isn’t about sitting idly and watching the world go by – it’s about innovating, and being in the moment, and we’re so proud to help create the future, today through our partnership program with the most innovative technologies in the space.”

PRESS RELEASE: GLAAM & ANC FORM STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Jae Choi

NEW YORK / LOS ANGELES – Enabling endless creative and commercial possibilities, building owners, developers and architects can now turn their glass buildings into magical, interactive video canvases.

GLAAM Media Glass is the world’s first and only ICT LED glass building material and is now available to U.S. clients for design, integration and operation through a new partnership with leading experience design and execution company ANC. The fully transparent, LED embedded, construction-grade material, created with 24 global patents, revolutionizes the media architecture market.

Imagine using your smart phone to control an interactive art piece on the façade of a New York high rise,  or stepping outside your LA office after a day’s work to watch Game 7 of the NBA Finals with the whole building turned into the screen. With the new GLAAM Media Glass, produced by GLAAM America and integrated by ANC, clear glass facades can be transformed into a wonderland of opportunity.

“GLAAM Media Glass infuses a limitless digital world into the transparent skin of architecture,” said Casey Chang, GLAAM America CEO. “Through our partnership with ANC, we now offer a turnkey supply, integration and control solution for U.S. clients looking to be the forefront of media façade technology.”

GLAAM America manufactures the innovative architectural element based on each individual project’s needs and ANC will design, distribute, integrate and provide ongoing operation and service of the product for U.S.-based installations of projects like retail developments, sports venues, transportation and directional signage. Based on ANC’s portfolio of unique digital deployments such as Wells Fargo CenterPier 17 at Seaport District NYC and the Power Portal at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the partnership is a natural and complementary union.

Proving the magical possibilities, the product has been installed in more than 250 buildings throughout Asia. Via the GLAAM-ANC partnership, U.S. developers, architects, and owners can now also design and create wondrous, new possibilities with experiential facades and buildings.  

“As a creator of iconic and beautiful digital media installations, we are thrilled to be GLAAM’s U.S. partner to help bring this first-of-its-kind product to our market,” said George Linardos, ANC CEO. “For our clients looking to transform their buildings and spaces into landmarks with inspiring visuals and interactive content, this new offering can help turn a standard façade into an infinite digital story.”

GLAAM Media Glass is unique in that it eliminates the compromise of design and building value from obstructed views and blocked natural light from LED screens, bars, mesh and attachments. The embedded micro-LED technology, weatherproofed and protected from the elements, creates a seamless connection between the physical and digital experience. It requires far less maintenance and repair than previous LED offerings, is priced at a similar capital investment and is estimated to provide 100,000 hours of full brightness over its lifetime, thus creating a total lower cost of ownership.

The new product is 100 percent design-built and specified to meet rigid glass performance, durability, energy and aesthetic design requirements. It can be retrofitted to the interior or exterior of an existing façade, or as the primary façade material itself, integrating with market-leading curtain wall systems.

Whereas conventional LED displays create dark spaces behind them, GLAAM Media Glass allows building owners to utilize an entire floor area in the building by creating habitable interior space all the way to the façade. And because it serves as regular glass during the day and a dazzling display at night, GLAAM Media Glass also consumes less power than standard LED displays.

“Our product creates unprecedented value by giving fully transparent architectural glass, LED video display and interactive capabilities” said Chang. “Now it is possible for large or small scale architectural glass applications to create new revenue streams, transform into digital public art, broadcast real time events, interact with motion or sound, and even connect to smart phones and tablets for experiential activities. Our innovation is opening up new and exciting ways for buildings to increase their value and connect with communities in a way never before possible.”

“ANC and GLAAM’s partnership defines innovation and expertise in manufacturing, design, integration and ongoing operations,” said Linardos. “Every building can now be a living, breathing canvas in memorable, artistic, and enthralling ways that drive revenue, communicate and create a sense of community. We look forward to ushering in the future of media architecture with our clients and our new partners at GLAAM.”
