Item 8.01    Other Events

 

Granahan McCourt Acquisition Corporation (“the Company”) today held its Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with Pro Brand International, Inc. At the Special Meeting, the merger proposal was not approved by the Company’s stockholders. As a result, and pursuant to its charter and the terms of its initial public offering, the Company expects that the amounts held in its trust account, together with interest (net of applicable taxes) and including the deferred portion of the underwriters’ discount held in the trust account following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, will be returned to the Company’s public stockholders. No payments will be made in respect of the Company’s outstanding warrants or to any of its initial stockholders with respect to the shares owned by them and issued prior to the initial public offering. The Company intends to prepare and mail to its stockholders a proxy statement seeking approval to effect the distribution of funds from the trust account.  The Company will proceed to distribute the funds and stockholders will not need to tender their shares of stock to the transfer agent until the dissolution plan is approved by the Company and its stockholders.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release dated October 21, 2008 is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
