Global Eagle Entertainment Inc.

Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. originated from Global Eagle Acquisition Corp., a blank-check company that completed its IPO in 2011 and targeted the media and connectivity sector. Sponsored by entertainment industry veterans Harry Sloan and Jeff Sagansky, the SPAC merged with Row 44 and Advanced Inflight Alliance in January 2013, forming a publicly traded provider of in-flight entertainment and satellite connectivity services to commercial airlines under the ticker ENT on Nasdaq. The COVID-19 pandemic's near-total halt of commercial aviation in 2020 severely strained the company; the 8-K filed July 16, 2020 reflects activity during its Chapter 11 restructuring period.
