Effective July 16, 2007, the Issuer’s board of directors authorized a unit dividend of 0.15 units for each outstanding Founders’ Unit, effectively lowering the purchase price to approximately $0.009 per unit and increasing the number of Founders’ Units to 566,868 and 579,623, respectively. Effective October 3, 2007, the Issuer’s board of directors authorized a unit dividend of .20 units for each outstanding Founders’ Unit, effectively lowering the purchase price to approximately $0.007 per unit and increasing the number of Founders’ Units to 680,242 and 695,548, respectively. Each Founders’ Unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Founders’ Warrants”). The Founders’ Warrants have an exercise price of $7.50 per share and will become exercisable upon the later of the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination with a target business and January 3, 2009; provided that the last sales price of the Issuer’s Common Stock exceeds $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period beginning 90 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination.

Ivy Healthcare and Fieldpoint financed their purchases of the Sponsors’ Warrants through the use of working capital.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired the Founders’ Units and the Sponsors’ Warrants for investment purposes.

Letter Agreement

Both Warren Jr. and Pangia, have entered into letter agreements with the Issuer and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., dated as of October 3, 2007 (the “Letter Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreements, Messrs. Warren Jr. and Pangia have agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them prior to the initial public offering (the “Founders’ Shares”) in the same manner as the majority of shares cast by public stockholders in connection with the vote required to approve the Issuer’s initial business combination and for the proposal to amend the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to provide for the Issuer’s perpetual existence. In addition, Messrs. Warren Jr. and Pangia has agreed to vote any and all shares of Common Stock acquired by them in the initial public offering or thereafter in favor of the Issuer’s initial business combination. Messrs. Warren Jr. and Pangia also agreed to not propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to extend the period of time in which the Issuer must consummate its initial business combination prior to its liquidation. Should such a proposal be put before the Issuer’s stockholders, Messrs. Warren Jr. and Pangia agreed to vote against such proposal except in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination to give the Issuer perpetual existence. The Letter Agreements further provides that the Sponsors’ Warrants, the Founders’ Shares and the Co-Investment Units (as defined below) are subject to transfer restrictions, except with respect to certain exceptions, all as more fully set forth in the Letter Agreements.

The description of the Letter Agreements in this Item 4 of the Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2007.

Stockholders Agreement

The Stockholders Agreement further provides that if a director nominated by the Kanders Representative or the Ivy Representative dies, resigns or is removed as a director and there is a resulting vacancy in the board of directors of the Issuer and the Kanders Representative or the Ivy Representative, as applicable, proposes a substitute candidate to the nominating committee of the Issuer’s board of directors to fill such vacancy and such substitute candidate is nominated by the nominating committee of the Issuer’s board of directors for election to the board of directors, each stockholder has agreed to vote all shares of stock owned by such stockholder to elect such substitute candidate nominated by the Kanders Representative or the Ivy Representative, as applicable. Additionally, in the event that any of the Ivy Stockholders fails to purchase the Co-Investment Units subscribed by it pursuant to the Co-Investment Subscription Agreement (as defined below), then the other Ivy Stockholders first and thereafter the Kanders Stockholders shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase, all but not less than all, of the remaining Co-Investment Units not purchased by any of the Ivy Stockholders. In the event that the Kanders Stockholders purchase the Co-Investment Units that were subscribed for by any of the Ivy Stockholders and not purchased by the other Ivy Stockholders the Ivy Stockholders will be required to transfer and deliver to the Kanders Stockholders a pro-rata amount of the Founders’ Units beneficially owned by such Ivy Stockholders. Reciprocal provisions apply to defaults under the Co-Investment Subscription Agreements executed by certain of the Kanders Stockholders.

The description of the Stockholders Agreement in this Item 4 of the Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into this Statement as Exhibit 99.1.

Co-Investment Subscription Agreement

Ivy Healthcare, Fieldpoint and Pangia each entered into a subscription agreement dated as of May 31, 2007 (the “Co-Investment Subscription Agreement”), pursuant which to they agreed to purchase 202,020, 206,565 and 79,293 units, respectively (‘‘Co-Investment Units’’) at a price of $10 per unit from the Issuer in a private placement that will occur immediately prior to the Issuer’s consummation of its initial business combination. These Co-Investment Units are identical to the units sold in the Issuer’s initial public offering and may not be sold, transferred, or assigned until at least one year after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination.

Pursuant to the Co-Investment Subscription Agreement, if any of the Ivy Stockholders fails to purchase the Co-Investment Units and the other Ivy Stockholders or the Kanders Stockholders do not satisfy such party’s co-investment obligation in full, the Ivy Stockholders have agreed to sell, and the Issuer has agreed to purchase, such Ivy Stockholders’ Founders’ Units at the same purchase price the founders originally paid for them.

The description of the Co-Investment Subscription Agreement in this Item 4 of the Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Co-Investment Subscription Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.17 to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2007.

Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement all of the Founders’ Unit will be placed in escrow until one year after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination. A portion of the Founders’ Units will be released from escrow earlier than as described above and returned to the Issuer for cancellation at no cost if and to the extent the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the Issuer’s initial public offering is not exercised in full or expires unexercised.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and to the extent permitted by law, may seek to engage in discussions with other stockholders and/or with management and the board of directors of the Issuer concerning the business, operations or future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may, except as may be precluded by the agreements described above in this Item 4,  in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Stock, selling Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, taking any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of its securities in any manner permitted by law or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) and (c) As of October 12, 2007, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,642,786 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 17,250,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 9, 2007, as set forth in the Issuer’s audited financials filed as Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2007, plus 1,800,000 shares issued on October 15, 2007 pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2007).

In the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the Issuer’s initial public offering is exercised and the Reporting Persons do not purchase additional shares sold in the underwriters’ over-allotment option, such percentage will decrease.

Warren Jr. is a principal of Ivy Capital Partners, the General Partner of Ivy Healthcare and is a manager of, and owns a 32.67% partnership interest in, Fieldpoint. Pangia is a principal of Ivy Capital Partners, the General Partner of Ivy Healthcare. Both, Warren Jr. and Pangia may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that Ivy Healthcare beneficially owns. Warren Jr. may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that Fieldpoint beneficially owns. Warren Jr. and Pangia have the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that Ivy Healthcare beneficially owns. Warren Jr. has the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that Fieldpoint beneficially owns.

Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Statement for each member of the Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) of 1,642,786 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 17,250,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 9, 2007, as set forth in the Issuer’s audited financials filed as Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2007, plus 1,800,000 shares issued on October 15, 2007 pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2007). This does not include shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the Founders’ Warrants or the Sponsors’ Warrants because such warrants are not exercisable and may not become exercisable within the next 60 days.

The filing of this Statement and any future amendment by the Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to Warren Jr. and Pangia, shall not be considered an admission that either Warren Jr. or Pangia, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, is the beneficial owner of any shares in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.

As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, each of the Kanders Stockholders, and the Ivy Stockholders may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Act, and the “group” may be deemed to be the owner of 3,867,200 shares of Common Stock on October 12, 2007, or 22.4% of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. Each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the Ivy Stockholders. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that a “group” exists with the Kanders Stockholders, or that any of the Reporting Persons is a beneficial owner of any securities other than those directly held by them.
