Exhibit 99.1

Garnero Group Announces Extension of Time to Complete an Initial Business Combination to July 22, 2016

NEW YORK, June 23, 2016 -- Garnero Group Acquisition Company (NASDAQ: GGAC) (“GGAC”), a public investment vehicle formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, acquisition or similar business combination, announced today that its shareholders had approved an extension of time for GGAC to complete an initial business combination to July 22, 2016.

In connection with the extension, holders of 12,373,127 of GGAC’s ordinary shares duly exercised their right to convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established in connection with GGAC’s initial public offering. GGAC will distribute approximately $124,349,930 from the trust account to such holders in payment of the aggregate conversion amount. As a result, approximately $20,118,824 will remain in the trust account. After the conversions, 6,229,686 GGAC ordinary shares will remain outstanding (including 2,001,873 that were issued in the Company’s initial public offering). The conversion will not affect the number of GGAC rights and warrants outstanding. Accordingly, 14,375,000 GGAC rights, each of which entitles the holder to automatically receive 1/10^th of a GGAC ordinary share upon consummation of a business combination, and 14,375,000 GGAC warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase 1/2 of a GGAC ordinary share commencing upon consummation of a business combination, will remain outstanding.

The purpose of the extension is to allow GGAC additional time to complete its previously disclosed business combination with Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A. (“Grupo Colombo” or “GC”), a leading apparel retailer in Brazil. GGAC has called an extraordinary general meeting to consider the proposed business combination with Grupo Colombo and certain related proposals. The extraordinary general meeting, which was originally convened on April 25, 2016 but was adjourned to allow additional time for Grupo Colombo to complete its previously disclosed financial restructuring and for GGAC to distribute additional information to its shareholders about the transactions, is scheduled to reconvene on July 19, 2016. GGAC encourages all of its shareholders to vote at the reconvened extraordinary general meeting. If you have already provided voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with these instructions at the reconvened extraordinary general meeting, unless you affirmatively change your instructions as described in the proxy statement for the extraordinary general meeting.
