CUSIP No. G05011 104 SCHEDULE 13D Page 3 of 7 Pages

 

This Schedule 13D (“Schedule 13D”) is filed by The Octagon Foundation (“Octagon”) with respect to ownership of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Arowana Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”).

 

The percentage of beneficial ownership reflected in this Schedule 13D is based upon 10,859,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of May 12, 2015.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at Level 11, 153 Walker Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060, Australia.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

Octagon’s address is Level 11, 110 Mary St., Brisbane Queensland 4000, Australia.

 

Octagon has not, during the past five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

Neither has Octagon, during the past five years, been 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.

 

Octagon is a charitable foundation.

 

Item 3. Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

In October 2014, Octagon was issued an aggregate of 644,125 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, at a price of approximately $0.01 per share. In February 2015 Octagon transferred an aggregate of 132,825 ordinary shares by way of capitalization under Cayman Islands law resulting in the Initial Shareholders (defined below) owning an aggregate of 2,070,000 insider shares. Such issuance was made in order to maintain the Initial Shareholders’ ownership at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon consummation of the issuer’s initial public offering (excluding ownership of the private units described in this item below) (“IPO”).

 

Subsequent to the initial issuance of Ordinary Shares described above, Octagon transferred an aggregate of 388,072 shares to two of the Initial Shareholders for the same price originally paid by Octagon for such shares.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No. G05011 104 SCHEDULE 13D Page 4 of 7 Pages

 

Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated April 30, 2015 (“Subscription Agreement”) Octagon also acquired an aggregate of 151,254 units (“Private Units”) of the Issuer, each Private Unit consisting of one Ordinary Share, one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share on the consummation of a Business Combination (defined in Item 4 below), and one warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase one-half (1/2) of one Ordinary Share upon the later of the consummation of a Business Combination or April 30, 2016. The acquisition of the Private Units was consummated on May 6, 2015, simultaneously with the closing of the Issuer’s IPO. These Private Units were purchased at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,512,540. Octagon used its working capital to purchase the foregoing Private Units.

 

On May 8, 2015 the underwriters in the IPO exercised the over-allotment option of 1,080,000 additional units in full. The over-allotment option of the additional units closed on May 12, 2015. As a result, Octagon purchased an additional 17,955 Private Units pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. These Private Units were purchased at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $179,550. Octagon used its working capital to purchase the foregoing Private Units.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The acquisitions reported on in this Schedule 13D were made for investment purposes. Octagon may acquire or dispose of additional securities or sell securities of the Issuer from time to time in the market or in private transactions. As described above in Item 3, Octagon holds 169,209 Warrants which will entitle it to purchase an aggregate of 84,605 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer once such Warrants become exercisable. Additionally, Octagon holds 169,209 Rights which will entitle it to receive 16,921 Ordinary Shares upon the Issuer’s consummation of a Business Combination. Except as described herein, Octagon does not have any other agreements to acquire additional Ordinary Shares at this time.

 

Kevin T. Chin, a director of Octagon, serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors. As such, Mr. Chin is involved in making material business decisions regarding the Issuer’s policies and practices and may be involved in the consideration of various proposals considered by the Issuer’s Board of Directors. Additionally, as the Issuer’s business plan is to enter into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination (“Business Combination”), Mr. Chin, as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is actively involved in pursuing a suitable target for the Issuer’s Business Combination and will be actively involved in effecting any such Business Combination if the Issuer’s business plan is successful, which may also result in a change in the Issuer’s board of directors, corporate structure, charter or bylaws.

 

Except as discussed above, neither Mr. Chin nor Octagon, have any plans or proposals to acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer, effect an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, cause a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, cause any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, cause a change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, cause any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, cause any changes in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, cause a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, cause a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or take any other action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No. G05011 104 SCHEDULE 13D Page 5 of 7 Pages

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Octagon is the beneficial owner of 578,087 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer or approximately 5.3 % of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. Octagon has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares it holds. This does not include (a) 16.921 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the 169,209 Rights of the Issuer held by Octagon or (b) 84,605 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of 169,209 Warrants of the Issuer held by Octagon.

 

The Octagon Foundation is controlled by its board of directors. The board of directors of The Octagon Foundation as a group controls the voting and dispositive power over the shares held by this entity and no one individual acting alone has such power.

 

In the last 60 days, Octagon has not effected any transactions of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares, except as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Octagon is party to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 30, 2015, by and among the Issuer and the other shareholders of the Issuer prior to its IPO (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc (“Registration Rights Agreement”), a Share Escrow Agreement, dated April 30, 2015, by and among the Issuer, the Initial Shareholders and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agreement”), and a letter agreement, dated April 30, 2015, addressed to the Issuer and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“Insider Letter Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Initial Shareholders, including Octagon, are entitled to registration rights for the Ordinary Shares held immediately prior to the Issuer’s IPO (“Initial Shares”) and the Private Units (and Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Units), among other securities. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Issuer register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Initial Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these Ordinary Shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Units (and underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Issuer consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to consummation of the Issuer’s Business Combination. The Issuer will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No. G05011 104 SCHEDULE 13D Page 6 of 7 Pages

 

Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Initial Shares, including the Initial Shares owned by Octagon, are held in escrow to be released only if the Issuer’s Business Combination is successfully completed. Subject to certain limited exceptions, 50% of these shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s Business Combination and the closing price of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Issuer’s Business Combination and the remaining 50% of such shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until one year after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s Business Combination or earlier in either case if, subsequent to the Issuer’s Business Combination, the Issuer consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

Pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreements, Mr. Chin and Octagon agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of any proposed Business Combination and that Octagon would not be entitled to receive any liquidation distributions from the Issuer’s trust fund with respect to its Initial Shares and Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Units.

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Octagon agreed not to sell or transfer the Private Units, subject to certain exceptions, until after the Issuer has completed its Business Combination.
