DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

SCG Financial Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2011. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that the Company has not yet identified (“Initial Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income, other than interest on the trust account assets (the “Trust Account”). The Company is focused on identifying a prospective target business or asset with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company is currently evaluating Initial Business Combination candidates. All activity through March 31, 2012 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Offering”) and identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination.

The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective April 8, 2011. The Company consummated the Offering on April 18, 2011 and received net proceeds of approximately $82,566,000, before deducting underwriting compensation of $4,000,000 (which includes $2,000,000 of deferred contingent underwriting compensation payable upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination) and includes $3,000,000 received for the purchase of 4,000,000 warrants by SCG Financial Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”). Total offering costs (excluding $2,000,000 in underwriting fees) was $433,808.

On April 12, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 4,000,000 warrants (“Sponsor Warrants”) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Offering, except that if held by the original holder or its permitted assigns, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption.

Total gross proceeds to the Company from the 8,000,000 units sold in the offering was $80,000,000. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an Initial Business Combination.

On April 27, 2011, $80,000,000 from the Offering and Sponsor Warrants that was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) was invested, as provided in the Company’s registration statement. The Company is permitted to invest the proceeds of the Trust Account in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Trust Account assets will be maintained until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of one or more target businesses or assets, will not submit the transaction for stockholder approval, unless otherwise required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination if it is approved by the board of directors. Only in the event that the Company is required to seek stockholder approval in connection with its Initial Business Combination, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. In connection with such a vote, if an Initial Business Combination is approved and consummated, stockholders that elect to redeem their shares of common stock will be entitled to receive their pro-rata portion of the Trust Account as follows: (i) public stockholders voting against the Initial Business Combination and electing to redeem shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (excluding interest and net of taxes) and (ii) public stockholders voting in favor of the Initial Business Combination and electing to redeem shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (together with interest thereon which was not previously used for working capital but net of taxes). These shares of common stock are recorded at a fair value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with ASC 480. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have agreed, in the event the Company is required to seek stockholder approval of its Initial Business Combination, to vote the initial shares in favor of approving an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have also agreed to vote shares of common stock acquired by them in this offering or in the aftermarket in favor of an Initial Business Combination submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed that the Company will have until January 12, 2013 to consummate an Initial Business Combination and one additional three month extension subject to (i) a signed letter of intent to consummate its Initial Business Combination by January 12, 2013 (and an Initial Business Combination relating thereto has not been consummated) and (ii) the approval of at least 65% of the holders of the Company’s common stock. If the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including a portion of the interest earned thereon which was not previously used for working capital (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), but net of any taxes (which redemption would completely extinguish such holders’ rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs and each member of the Sponsor have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to its initial shares. However, if the Sponsor, Gregory H. Sachs or any member of the Sponsor acquire shares of common stock in or after the Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Offering.
