Item 7.01  Regulation FD.

  

On January 31, 2013, Global Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the Company) issued a press release announcing the results of its special meeting in lieu of 2012 and 2013 annual meetings of stockholders held today. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. 

 

The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is the corrected version of the earlier press release issued by the Company. Due to an inadvertent error by the Company's transfer agent, the earlier version of the press release incorrectly reported that public shareholders holding an aggregate of 9,248,590 shares of common stock did not redeem their shares. The corrected press release issued by the Company and furnished herewith reports that public stockholders holding an aggregate of 8,828,419 shares of common stock did not redeem their shares, thereby satisfying the closing condition in the Row 44 merger agreement which required that at least 3,955,833 public shares not be redeemed.
