Public Offering
 
Public Units
 
On November 19, 2013, the Company sold 15,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units”) in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.
 
Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act for the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the Company’s Business Combination. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or prior to the or 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Public Warrants will expire at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of Public Warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of the Public Warrants and the Public Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the warrant agreement.
 
The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit ($3,000,000 in the aggregate) to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) equal to the difference between (a) the product of the number of shares of common stock sold as part of the units and $0.55 and (b) the upfront underwriting discount paid at the closing of $3,000,000, or a total Deferred Discount of $5,250,000 ($0.35 per unit sold). The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.
 
The underwriters paid the Company $347,100 as reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Public Offering which was recorded in additional paid in capital in the accompanying interim balance sheets.
 
Public Warrant Terms and Conditions
 
Exercise Conditions— Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or prior to the expiration of the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Public Warrants will expire at the end of such period.
 
Registration Risk—The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Public Warrants. Additionally, in the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.
 
Accounting— Because the Company is not required to net cash settle the Public Warrants, the Public Warrants will be recorded at fair value and classified within stockholders’ equity as “Additional paid-in capital” upon their issuance in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40.
