Golden
Star Announces Cancellation of Business Combination Extraordinary General Meeting
NEW
YORK, May 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Golden Star Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: GODN) (the “Company” or “Golden
Star”) today announced that it has cancelled the extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders that was previously scheduled
for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2024 (the “Business Combination EGM”), and has withdrawn from consideration by the
shareholders the proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Business Combination EGM filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 17, 2024.
As
previously announced, on September 16, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business
Combination Agreement”) with Gamehaus Inc. (“Gamehaus”), a mobile game publishing company. On May 17, 2024, the Company
filed its definitive proxy statement, announcing the Business Combination EGM to consider and vote upon, among other things, the adoption
of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement.
On
May 22, 2024, Gamehaus notified the Company that it received a written notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”),
requiring it to complete the filing with the CSRC pursuant to the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing
by Domestic Companies, as promulgated by the CSRC on February 17, 2023. Pursuant to Section 8.1(l) of the Business Combination Agreement,
the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to Gamehaus having received the necessary
approval from the CSRC, among others. Therefore, the board of directors of the Company has decided to cancel the Business Combination
EGM to allow more time for the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement to be met.

Gamehaus’s inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections and changes in the combined capital
structure; (k) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including legal or regulatory developments (including, without limitation,
accounting considerations) which could result in unforeseen delays in the timing of the Proposed Business Combination and negatively
impact the trading price of Golden Star’s securities and the attractiveness of the Proposed Business Combination to investors;

by Golden Star’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain extensions of the business deadline if sought
by Golden Star; and (q) the effects of natural disasters, terrorist attacks and the spread and/or abatement of infectious diseases, such
as COVID-19, on the Proposed Business Combination or on the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other risks and uncertainties
