The Business Combination Agreement

Structure of the Proposed Transaction



    (a)  Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, MNGA will effect a Pre-Closing
         Reorganization (as defined below) and a Stock Split (as defined below);



    (b)  Immediately following the Pre-Closing Reorganization and the Stock Split
         and at the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
         of the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware
         General Corporation Law, Merger Sub will merge with and into Golden
         Falcon, with Golden Falcon continuing as the surviving company after the
         Merger, as a result of which, Golden Falcon will become an indirect,
         wholly-owned subsidiary of MNGA;



    (c)  Immediately after the Merger, Golden Falcon, HoldCo, IntermediateCo,
         FinCo, and MNGA shareholders will effect certain post-merger
         transactions; and



    (d)  At the Effective Time, each share of Class B common stock, par value
         $0.0001 per share, of Golden Falcon (the "Class B Common Stock") will be
         automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock, par value
         $0.0001 per share, of Golden Falcon (the "Class A Common Stock") in
         accordance with the terms of Golden Falcon's Certificate of Incorporation
         (such automatic conversion, the "Golden Falcon Class B Conversion") and,
         after giving effect to such automatic conversion at the Effective Time,
         as a result of the Merger, (a) issued and outstanding shares of Class A
         Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be
         converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one MNGA ADS
         (and the ordinary share of MNGA after giving effect to the Stock Split
         (the "MNGA Ordinary Share") represented thereby); and (b) each
         outstanding warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock of
         Golden Falcon at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the "Warrant")
         will automatically become an MNGA AD Warrant (and the warrant
         representing the right to acquire one MNGA Ordinary Share (the "MNGA
         Warrant") represented thereby) and all rights with respect to shares of
         Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants will be automatically
         converted into rights to purchase MNGA ADSs (and the MNGA Ordinary Shares
         represented thereby) and thereupon assumed by MNGA.

Merger Consideration

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock (other than any shares of Golden Falcon held in treasury or owned by MNGA, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned subsidiary of MNGA or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden Falcon immediately prior to the Effective Time) will be converted automatically into, and the holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive, for each share of Class A Common Stock, one MNGA ADS (and the MNGA Ordinary Share represented thereby) after giving effect to the Stock Split.

Pre-closing Reorganization; Stock Split



    (a)  Prior to the Effective Time, MNGA will effect the Pre-Closing
         Reorganization, which includes, among other things, the purchase by
         IntermediateCo of a certain number of MNGA Ordinary Shares from Mapa
         Insaat ve Ticaret A.S., a joint stock company organized under the laws of
         Turkey and MNGA's Majority Shareholder ("Mapa"), immediately prior to the
         Effective Time, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, which will allow
         IntermediateCo to deposit such MNGA Ordinary Shares with the Depositary
         Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time in connection with the
         transactions contemplated herein;



    (b)  Prior to the Effective Time, MNGA will effect the stock split under which
         each MNGA Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior
         to the Effective Time will be split into a number of MNGA Ordinary Shares
         determined by multiplying each such MNGA Ordinary Share by the Split
         Factor (the "Stock Split"); and



    (c)  Prior to the Effective Time, a portion of the MNGA Ordinary Shares held
         by Mapa and certain other shareholders of MNGA shall be converted to
         newly-designated Class A shares of the Company, which shall be entitled
         to receive dividend payments, the details of which shall be set forth in
         the applicable amendment to the articles of association of MNGA.

Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Stockholder Meeting
