Gores Holdings VIII Inc.

Gores Holdings VIII Inc. (Nasdaq: GIIX), sponsored by The Gores Group, completed its initial public offering in 2021 as a blank check company targeting opportunities in the technology, media, and telecommunications sectors. An extension of The Gores Group's prolific SPAC franchise, the vehicle filed an S-1/A amendment with the SEC in February 2021. Gores Holdings VIII subsequently entered into a definitive business combination with Sonder Holdings Inc., a technology-enabled hospitality and short-term rental platform, with the transaction closing in early 2022 and the combined company beginning to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker SOND, retiring GIIX as an active blank check vehicle.
