OneSonder Slack Post: S4 Effective / Shareholder Vote Date Scheduled

From: Sanjay Banker

Sharing some exciting news that, on December 22, 2021, the SEC declared effective the Registration Statement (or S-4) related to our business combination with Gores Metropoulos II. This means that after this rigorous process, we can now take the final steps towards a public listing.

There will be a special meeting of Gores Metropoulos II’s stockholders on January 14, 2022 to vote to approve the business combination. Once approved and after closing, we’ll officially begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “SOND” and “SONDW”.

You can view the full press release issued this morning [here].

We’re about to cross the finish line and achieve an enormous milestone for Sonder. So many of our colleagues have spent countless hours and late nights getting us to this stage. I want to acknowledge the contributions of all those who have worked and continue to work so hard to successfully complete this transaction.

As a reminder, all external inquiries should be directed to the Communications team via press@sonder.com. Looking forward to sharing more great news shortly. Thank you, as always, for each of your continued hard work and dedication to growing this business and revolutionizing hospitality.
