Overview of the IPO#
General Catalyst Global Resilience Merger Corp. has announced the pricing of its initial public offering (IPO), raising $350 million by offering 35 million securities at $10.00 each. These securities will begin trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "GCGRU" starting April 30, 2026.
What the Securities Include#
Each security consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of a redeemable warrant.

Once trading begins separately, the Class A shares will be listed under the symbol "GCGR," and the warrants will trade under "GCGRW."

The underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 5.25 million securities to cover any over-allotments.
