Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (NASDAQ: VMACU, VMAC,
VMACW) (“VMAC” or the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition
company, announced today that, on November 9, 2021, its sponsor,
Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, timely deposited an aggregate of
$1,000,000 (the “Extension Payment”), representing $0.10 per public
share, into VMAC’s trust account in order to extend the date by
which VMAC has to consummate a business combination from November
11, 2021 to February 11, 2022 (the “Extension”). The Extension
provides VMAC with additional time to complete its proposed
business combination with Anghami Inc. (“Anghami”), the leading
music streaming platform and service in the Middle East and North
Africa.
The Sponsor loaned the Extension Payment to VMAC
in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of the Extension
Payment. The loan under the promissory note is non-interest bearing
and will be repaid upon the consummation of the proposed business
combination. The business combination is expected to be
consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to, among
other things, the approval of the transaction by VMAC’s
stockholders, satisfaction of the conditions stated in the
definitive business combination agreement and other customary
closing conditions, including that the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission completes its review of the proxy statement/prospectus
relating to the transaction, the receipt of certain regulatory
approvals, and the approval by The Nasdaq Stock Market to list the
securities of the combined company.

(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against VMAC and Anghami following the announcement of the

to closing in the Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event,
change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the
termination of the Agreement or could otherwise cause the
