At the special meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved and adopted an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from November 21, 2019 to December 21, 2019, plus an option for the Company to further extend such date up to five times, initially to January 21, 2020 and thereafter by additional 30 day periods each to May 20, 2020 (the “Extended Date”). A copy of the Extension Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

  

In connection with the Extension, stockholders elected to redeem 694,820 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “public shares”). As a result, an aggregate of $7,108,742.34 (or approximately $10.23 per share) will be removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such stockholders. Following such redemptions, approximately 29,305,000 public shares will remain issued and outstanding.

 

As indicated in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the special meeting, since the Extension Amendment was approved, Legacy will make a cash contribution (“Contribution”) to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.03 for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment for the initial Extension through December 21, 2019, plus an additional $0.03 per public share for each period of the Extension by Legacy at its option and/or at the Seller’s request up to five times, initially to January 21, 2020 and thereafter by up to four additional 30-day periods. Under the terms of the previously disclosed Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2019 (as amended, the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between Legacy, Blue Valor Limited (the “Seller”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Focus Intelligent Communications Group, the Seller has agreed to loan to Legacy the amount of the Contributions to be made by Legacy in connection with the initial Extension through December 21, 2019, and for each period of the Extension thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions indicated in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the special meeting. The Company intends to use the amounts loaned by the Seller to deposit in the Company’s trust account. Accordingly, the Seller will contribute an aggregate of $879,155.40 (the “Contribution”) to the Company within two business days prior to the beginning of each Extension, other than the first Contribution which is being made on or about October 23, 2019. If the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete an initial business combination, the redemption price per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.41 per share. The amount of the Contribution will not be repayable by the Company to the sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements:

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “propose,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “positioned,” “goal,” “conditional” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the expected redemptions of public shares, the expected Contributions and their timing of payment in respect of the public shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment and the anticipated redemption price of our public shares if the Company takes the full time through the Extended Date to complete an initial business combination.

 

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Legacy’s and the Blue Impact business’ control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the share exchange agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Legacy and other transaction parties following the announcement of the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Legacy or other conditions to closing in the share exchange agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed transaction; (6) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction; (7) costs related to the proposed transaction; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the aggregate number of Legacy shares requested to be redeemed by Legacy’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction; (10) the potential delay in completing the ongoing audit of the 2017 and 2018 financial statements and the potential for audit and other related adjustments to the financial results for such periods; and (11) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement relating to the proposed transaction, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Legacy’s other filings with the SEC. Legacy cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Legacy cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Legacy does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
