ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Statement is filed by Barry W. Florescue ("Mr. Florescue") and RAC Partners LLC ("RAC Partners"). RAC Partners and Mr. Florescue are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons."

The principal business of RAC Partners is investing in the Common Stock of the Issuer and the Insider Warrants (as defined in Item 3 below) of the Issuer. Mr. Florescue is the managing member of RAC Partners, has broad discretionary power over its management and has the sole voting and dispositive power with respect to RAC Partners's investments in the Issuer. In addition, Mr. Florescue is the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Issuer. The business address of the Reporting Persons is 50 East Sample Road, Suite 400, Pompano Beach, FL 33064.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person identified in response to this Item 2, have been convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

RAC Partners is a Delaware limited liability company. Mr. Florescue is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On January 29, 2007, the Issuer issued 5,000 shares of its Common Stock to Mr. Florescue as a stock dividend.

In April 2006, in connection with the Issuer's formation, RAC Partners purchased 2,979,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock from its working capital. The average purchase price per share

CUSIP No. 75966C305

 

 

     

was $.01. On January 29, 2007, the Issuer issued 595,800 shares of its Common Stock to RAC Partners as a stock dividend.

In connection with the Issuer's initial public offering, RAC Partners purchased 4,447,667 warrants (the "Insider Warrants") at a purchase price of $.45 per warrant. Each Insider Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of the Issuer's Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share. RAC Partners has agreed that the Insider Warrants purchased by it would not be sold or transferred until 30 days after the completion of a "Business Combination" as defined in the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. RAC Partners made such purchase from its working capital.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Reporting Persons have acquired the Issuer's Common Stock and the Insider Warrants for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may, form time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons, acquire additional shares of Common Stock.

Mr. Florescue has entered into an agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann and Co. Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Issuer's initial public offering (the "Underwriter"), pursuant to which Mr. Florescue, or an entity or entities which Mr. Florescue controls, will place limit orders for $12 million of the Issuer's Common Stock commencing ten business days after the Issuer files its current report on Form 8-K announcing its execution of a definitive agreement for a business combination and ending on the business day immediately preceding the record date for the meeting of stockholders at which such business combination is to be approved. Mr. Florescue has also agreed that he will not sell or transfer any shares of Common Stock purchased by him pursuant to this agreement until one year after the Issuer has completed an "Acquisition" as defined in the Issuer's final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2007 (the "Final Prospectus"). It is intended that these purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These purchases will be made at a price equal to the per share amount held in the Issuer's trust account as reported in such Form 8-K and will be made by the Underwriter or another broker dealer mutually agreed upon by Mr. Florescue and the Underwriter in such amounts and at such times as the Underwriter or such other broker dealer may determine, in its sole discretion, so long as the purchase price does not exceed the above-referenced per share purchase price. Mr. Florescue has agreed to make available to the Underwriter monthly statements confirming that Mr. Florescue has sufficient funds to satisfy these transactions.

As per the stock escrow agreement between the Reporting Persons, the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the Reporting Persons have placed an aggregate of 3,604,800 shares of Common Stock, of which RAC Partners owns 3,574,800 shares of record and Mr. Florescue owns 30,000 shares of record, into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited exceptions, (such as transfers to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, while remaining in escrow), these

5

 

CUSIP No. 75966C305

 

 

     

shares will not be transferable during the escrow period and will not be released from escrow until one year after the Issuer consummates a Business Combination, or earlier if, following a Business Combination by the Issuer, the Issuer engages in a subsequent transaction resulting in Issuer's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or if the Issuer liquidate and dissolve.

In addition, the Insider Warrants held by RAC Partners have been placed into a separate escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited exceptions, (such as transfers to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, while remaining in escrow), these Insider Warrants will not be transferable during the escrow period and will not be released from escrow until 30 days after the Issuer completes a Business Combination.

At the date of this Statement, the Reporting Persons, except as set forth in this Statement or in the Final Prospectus have no plans or proposals which would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
