3. Public Offering

 

On February 19, 2014, the Company sold 21,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”) in the Public Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one-half of one warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

 

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, dated February 12, 2014,  the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), following the completion of the Initial Business Combination. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination on or prior to the 21-month (or 24-month) period allotted to complete a business combination, the 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 Warrants issued in connection with the Units during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these Warrants and the Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the warrant agreement.

 

On March 13, 2014, the underwriters for the Public Offering purchased an additional 1,050,000 Units (the “Additional Units”) pursuant to their partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Additional Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half of one Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50. The Additional Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Additional Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,500,000.  Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the Additional Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 210,000 warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock for a price of $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Additional Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $210,000.

 

On March 13, 2014, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors forfeited 525,000 Founder Shares in connection with the purchase by the underwriters of 1,050,000 Additional Units pursuant to the partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants will be worthless if the Company does not complete a business combination. In addition, 1,378,125 founder earnout shares will be subject to forfeiture by the initial stockholders (or their permitted transferees) on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Business Combination unless at any time after the Initial Business Combination and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Business Combination the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or the company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for consideration in cash, securities or other property which equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

 

In connection with the Public Offering and the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company paid an underwriting discount of 2% of the Unit offering price ($4,410,000 in aggregate).  The Company will pay a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds ($7,717,500 in aggregate) payable upon the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination.  The deferred underwriting discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event the Company completes the Initial Business Combination.
