“Bank of America is pleased to provide Alliance Entertainment with a flexible structure that will enable them to expand their business,” said Steve King, Sr. Vice President at Bank of America. “We look forward to continuing our relationship and supporting their growth goals by helping them extend the range of their capabilities, products and service offerings.”
On June 23, 2022, Alliance Entertainment announced that it will become publicly listed through a merger transaction with Adara Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: ADRA, ADRA.U, ADRA.WS) (“Adara”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, at which point the combined company’s common stock is expected to trade on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “AENT”.
