Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 23, 2021, Sagaliam Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 1,500,000 Units issued to the underwriters upon full exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and one right of the Company (“Right”), with each Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $115,000,000.

The Class A Common Stock and Rights comprising the Units were to begin separate trading on February 10, 2022 subject to notice of earlier separate trading by the Representative. On January 27, 2022, the Representative notified the Company of its decision to allow early separate trading, commencing on February 8, 2022.

On February 8, 2022, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the Class A Common Stock and Rights comprising the Units commencing on February 8, 2022. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “SAGAU,” and the Class A Common Stock and Rights that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols “SAGA” and “SAGAR,” respectively. Holders of the Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A Common Stock and Rights.
