NEW YORK, April 10, 2025 – Marblegate Capital Corporation (MCC) and Marblegate Acquisition Corp. (MAC) (previously Nasdaq: GATE), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Marblegate Asset Management (Marblegate), an investment management firm that focuses on distressed and special situation investing, announced the completion of their business combination and merger with DePalma Acquisition I LLC and DePalma Acquisition II LLC (together, the DePalma Companies). The common stock and warrants of MCC began trading today, April 10, 2025, on OTCQX^® Best Market operated on The OTC Market systems under the symbols MGTE and MGTEW, respectively.

“Marblegate entered the taxi industry seeking to stabilize the marketplace and drive positive change,” said Andrew Milgram, Chief Executive Officer of MCC. “This transaction builds on our dynamic track record and aims to transform and professionalize the underserved Taxi medallion market – driving additional investments that will appropriately value medallions, benefiting owners, drivers, and investors.”

MCC is the first and largest publicly traded, vertically integrated, full-service fleet operator and specialty finance lender in the NYC taxi market, leveraging Marblegate’s years of deep industry experience and expertise, and strong portfolio operations capabilities to create a business that is transforming and institutionalizing the taxi industry.

MCC has a loan portfolio collateralized by more than 1,700 medallions and owns over 2,000 medallions – which MCC believes makes it the largest lender and owner of NYC taxi medallions. This, in addition to being one of the largest NYC medallion fleet operators, differentiates MCC in the NYC taxi marketplace as not just a market leader with an end-to-end understanding of the taxi business but the most impactful player in the industry driving positive change.
