1.	DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Global Defense & National Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is an organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 3, 2013. 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 (“Business combination”).

At September 30, 2015, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2015, relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Public Offering”) described below in Note 3, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective Business Combination candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters.

The registration statement for the Public Offering was declared effective on October 24, 2013. The Company consummated the Public Offering on October 29, 2013 and received net proceeds of approximately $73,545,000 which includes $7,215,000 received from the private placement of 721,500 ( the “private placement”) shares to Global Defense & National Security Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company (the “sponsor”) (as described in Note 3).

The underwriters also exercised their over-allotment option on consummation of the Public Offering on October 29, 2013. The above net proceeds include $9,495,000 as a result of the over-allotment, which includes $765,000 additional private placement.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Public Offering (as defined in Note 3 below), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2015, net proceeds of $63,913,876 (less redemptions) from the Public Offering and simultaneous private placements of the placement shares (as described below in Note 3) are held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) in the United States maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

On May 20, 2015, the Company received written notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of NASDAQ that based on the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum round lot shareholder requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Following a hearing on June 18, 2015, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel granted the Company an extension until November 16, 2015 to meet the minimum round lot share requirement.

On July 17, 2015, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “July Extension Meeting”). At the July Extension Meeting, the stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from July 24, 2015 to October 24, 2015. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with the July Extension Meeting and the approval of the amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our public stockholders were entitled to redeem their Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company to pay franchise or income taxes. Our stockholders redeemed 876,072 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $10.55 per share, for a total redemption of approximately $9,242,560 that was effected on July 24, 2015. In addition, in connection with the July Extension Meeting, on July 21, 2015, the Company issued a non-interest bearing promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of approximately $361,436. The Company used the proceeds from the note to deposit $0.06 per share that was not redeemed in the Trust Account. The note will be repaid on the earlier of (1) November 24, 2015 (or, if the proposal to amend and restate our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the amount of time we have to complete our business combination, which will be considered at a special meeting of our stockholders to be held on November 23, 2015 (the “Extension Proposal”), is approved, December 24, 2015), or (2) immediately following consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. After giving effect to the redemptions and the additional deposit, there was approximately $63,913,876 in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2015, or approximately $10.61 per public share.

On October 23, 2015, the Company held an additional special meeting of stockholders (the “October Extension Meeting”). At the October Extension Meeting, the stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from October 24, 2015 to November 24, 2015 (or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, December 24, 2015), and our public stockholders were entitled to redeem their Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company to pay franchise or income taxes. Our stockholders redeemed 3,209,123 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $10.61 per share, for a total redemption of approximately $34,048,795 that was effected on October 27, 2015. In addition, in connection with the October Extension Meeting, on November 5, 2015, the Company issued a non-interest bearing promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of approximately $56,296. The Company used the proceeds from the note to deposit $0.02 per share that was not redeemed in the Trust Account. The note will be repaid on the earlier of (1) November 24, 2015(or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, December 24, 2015), or (2) immediately following consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. After giving effect to the redemptions and the additional deposit, there was approximately $29,921,377 in the Trust Account as of November 13, 2015, or approximately $10.63 per public share.

On June 8, 2015, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Global Defense & National Security Holdings LLC (“Sponsor’), STG Group, Inc. (“STG”), the STG stockholders thereto (the “STG Stockholders”), and Simon Lee, as Stockholders’ Representative, pursuant to which, in exchange for the transfer to the Company of 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of STG, the STG Stockholders will receive a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), consisting of (a) $75,000,000 in cash and (b) 8,578,199 new shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at a price of $10.55 per share. In addition, the Company will issue to the STG Stockholders 445,161 shares of the Common Stock held by the Sponsor that are being contributed by the Sponsor to the Company immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (subject to reduction to the extent the Sponsor forfeits any of these shares to the Company). In the event that, immediately following the closing, the share consideration would, in the aggregate, be less than 56.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Stockholders’ Representative may elect to exchange a portion of the cash consideration for additional shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.55 per share, so that the STG Stockholders will own, in the aggregate, 56.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following the closing. In addition, in the event that the transaction otherwise would not qualify for the tax treatment described in the Business Combination Agreement as a result of failure to satisfy the Control Requirement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), a portion of the cash consideration may be exchanged for additional shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.55 per share, so that the STG Stockholders, the Sponsor and any other person who receives shares of Common Stock in connection with an equity financing completed in connection with the closing, collectively own at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for approval of such Business Combination. In connection with such a vote, the Company will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to have their shares of our Common Stock converted to cash upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to us for the payment of taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Common Stock that were sold in the Public Offering, subject to the limitations described within the registration statement and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) agreed to in connection with the negotiation of terms of a proposed Business Combination. These shares of Common Stock were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity prior to the Public Offering being closed, in accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon the initial Business Combination. The initial stockholder, Global Defense & National Security Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”) has agreed, in the event the Company is required to seek stockholder approval of its Business Combination, to vote its Sponsor’s Shares (as defined in Note 5 below), Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 3 below) and any Public Shares held, in favor of approving a Business Combination.

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Backstop Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2015, (the ‘‘Backstop Purchase Agreement’’) with the Sponsor. The Backstop Purchase Agreement grants the Sponsor the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price of $10.61 per share (the ‘‘Backstop Purchase’’). The purchase right can be exercised only in the event, and to the extent, that the Company will not meet the Threshold Cash Amount. The term ‘‘Threshold Cash Amount’’ means $20,000,000 in cash available to the Company from (1) the Trust Account at the closing of the Business Combination following the payment in full to Public Stockholders who have requested to be redeemed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, and (2) the payment of any aggregate purchase price for the Backstop Purchase.

The Company has declared a dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 1.06 shares of Common Stock (the ‘‘Dividend Shares’’) payable to stockholders of record immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination with STG, which is expected to occur on November 13, 2015. The Sponsor, with respect to the shares of Common Stock currently held by the Sponsor and any shares that may be acquired by the Sponsor upon any conversion of the convertible promissory notes currently held by the Sponsor, and STG Stockholders have agreed to forfeit any Dividend Shares they would be entitled to in exchange for no consideration. The Sponsor has not forfeited any right to receive any Dividend Shares in respect of any of the shares it acquires pursuant to the Backstop Purchase. Payment of the Dividend Shares is contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination and will be made as soon as practicable after the closing of the Business Combination.

Liquidation and going concern

On October 23, 2015, the Company held a special meeting of the stockholders at which its stockholders approved proposals to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the time that the Company has to complete its initial Business Combination until November 24, 2015 (the “October Extension Meeting”). If the Company is unable to consummate its initial Business Combination by November 24, 2015 (or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, December 24, 2015), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of its affairs; (ii) distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including a portion of the interest earned thereon which was not previously used for payment of franchise and income taxes, pro rata to its public stockholders by way of redemption of its Public Shares (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 its net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Sponsor’s Shares and Private Placement Shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) if the Company fails to consummate our initial Business Combination within 25 months from the date of its prospectus (October 24, 2013), (iii) in connection with an expired or unwithdrawn tender offer, and (iv) upon its liquidation prior to the expiration of the 25 month period. However, if its Sponsor should acquire Public Shares in or after the Public Offering, it will be entitled to receive its pro rata share of cash proceeds distributed by the Company with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the required time period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 25 months from the date of its prospectus (October 24, 2013) and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the conversion of its Public Shares. 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 share of Common Stock in the Public Offering.
