Each unit would contain one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant. Each warrant would give its holder the right to buy one Class A ordinary share.

The company is led by Andy Heyward, Chairman and CEO of Kartoon Studios and KSAC; Brian Parisi, CFO of Kartoon Studios and KSAC; and Michael Jaffa, Chief Operating Officer of Kartoon Studios and KSAC.
The registration statement and related prospectus have been submitted to the SEC, but the registration statement has not become effective. The prospectus remains preliminary and subject to completion. The securities may not be sold, and offers to buy may not be accepted, before the registration statement becomes effective.
Kartoon Studios said the filing may not lead to any transaction or other action by KSAC. The company also said it does not intend to provide further comments or updates unless it decides that additional disclosure is appropriate or required based on the facts and circumstances at that time.
