SLAM and Lynk Global Remain Committed to Business Combination and Combined Company Expects to list on Nasdaq Upon Close

Trading to Continue Under Same SLAM and SLAMW Ticker Symbols

SLAM Corp. (NASDAQ:SLAM), a special purpose acquisition company ("Slam" or the "Company"), today announced that the Company, as anticipated, received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq" or the "Exchange"), stating that in accordance with Nasdaq rules, Slam's securities will be delisted from the Exchange. At the open of trading on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, Slam's securities will be suspended on Nasdaq and are expected to begin trading on the OTC Markets under the tickers "SLAM" and "SLAMW", respectively, ensuring uninterrupted market activity for its shareholders.

Slam's ongoing business combination (the "Business Combination") with Lynk Global, Inc. ("Lynk"), the world's leading commercially-licensed satellite-direct-to-standard-phone ("sat2phone") telecoms provider, will be materially unaffected by the transition.

Ryan Bright, Chief Financial Officer of Slam, commented, "Slam and Lynk remain committed to the de-SPAC transaction and have extended the termination date of the Business Combination until December 25, 2024. Upon the closing of the transaction, the merged company is expected to list on Nasdaq under the symbol "LYNK" and its warrants under the symbol "LYNKW". This expected transition from the Nasdaq to the OTC Market is a procedural measure due to a timing requirement from the exchange. We look forward to seeing the company trading on the Nasdaq once again at the close of the transaction."

The Business Combination comes at a time of significant growth for the overall space industry with sat2phone as potentially the largest driver of that growth. Satellite-direct-to-standard phone technology solves a problem for over five billion mobile phone users in the $1.1 trillion-a-year mobile wireless industry. Sat2phone is a new category within satellite communications that analysts estimate could grow to become "the largest opportunity in satcom's history."¹ Since the announcement of the Business Combination in February 2024, Lynk has signed numerous commercial contracts with global mobile network operators as well as a commercial contract to provide sat2phone services to the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and other U.S. government agencies.

Shareholders will not need to take any action. Additional details will be made available in a Form 8-K filed by Slam on www.sec.gov.
