NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 5, 2015, the holders of the Insider Shares, as well as the holders of the Private Units (and underlying securities) and any shares the Company’s sponsors, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company, are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EBC may only exercise such demand rights on one occasion. The holders of a majority of the Insider Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of Common Stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Units or shares issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to 4% of the total gross proceeds raised in the Initial Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fee which might become payable) and the Company has the option to pay up to 25% of the 4% fee with shares of the Company’s Common Stock priced at $10.00 per share.

 

Legal Matters

 

The Company had engaged a law firm to assist the Company with its legal matters in identifying, negotiating, and consummating a Business Combination, as well as assisting with other legal matters. In the event of a successful Business Combination, the amount of fees to be paid was to be agreed upon between the Company and the law firm in light of all the facts and circumstances at that point in time. If a Business Combination did not occur, the Company would not be required to pay this contingent fee. In connection with the signing of the Oreva Agreement (as defined and discussed in Note 11), management was able to determine the amount of the legal fees owed and, accordingly, has recorded an amount payable to the law firm of $2,000,000 in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2017.
