TG Venture Acquisition Corp. Files Presentation About its Pending Business Combination with The Flexi Group, One of APAC’s Largest Operators of Flexible Workspaces

Tsangs Group, as the sponsor, is pleased to provide with the following Press Release.

TG Venture Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:TGVC) (“TGVC“), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Tsangs Group, has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“), as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, an investor presentation that relates to its pending business combination transaction with The Flexi Group Limited (“The Flexi Group“), one of the largest flexible workspace operators in Asia, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement by and among TGVC, The Flexi Group, and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination Agreement”) announced on December 5, 2022.

The Flexi Group Holdings Ltd (“PubCo“), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Flexi Group that will be the successor entity of The Flexi Group, has also filed the investor presentation with the SEC. The presentation can be accessed on The Flexi Group’s website at https://www.theflexigroup.com/, TGVC’s website at https://tgventureacquisition.com, and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Neither the information contained on The Flexi Group’s website nor TGVC’s website is intended to be incorporated by reference into this press release, the Current Report on Form 8-K or any other document filed with or furnished to the SEC by TGVC.

TGVC further announced that it has engaged ThinkEquity LLC to act as an independent financial advisor to TGVC in connection with TGVC’s proposed initial business combination. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023, subject to other customary closing conditions. After closing, the combined company’s ordinary shares are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under ticker symbol FLXG. Full details of the transaction can be found in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed by PubCo with the SEC on February 13, 2023 (including any amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement“).

Unified in 2022 following the consolidation of three leading brands in the co-working space, The Flexi Group has 25 years of combined experience designing, building and operating flexible workspaces in Asia and Australia. It is one of the region’s largest flexible workspace operators with 45 locations in 12 cities and nine countries including Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan.

Unlike other flexible workspace operators, The Flexi Group pursues an asset-light approach by partnering with landlords on joint ventures instead of leasing office space and taking on potentially significant financial obligations under rental agreements. By partnering with The Flexi Group, landlords can offer increased flexibility to tenants as well as increase building tenant engagement by offering such tenants access to workshops, lectures and social gatherings that are specifically tailored to them.

The Flexi Group’s multi-brand strategy creates the opportunity to partner with landlords across a variety of asset types and classes with differentiated pricing, building, location, and office size preferences.

Following the business combination, The Flexi Group will explore a consolidation strategy in several jurisdictions, including APAC, North America, the Middle East and Europe.

The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of The Flexi Group and TGVC, is subject to approval by TGVC’s stockholders and The Flexi Group’s shareholders.
