6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement will provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriters Agreement

 

On August 4, 2017, the underwriters fully exercised a 45-day option to purchase 4,050,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $7,762,500.

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss a potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing 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 a Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided that the

 

Company has the right to allocate up to 30% of the fee to any of the underwriters in the offering or other FINRA member firms the Company retains to assist it in connection with its initial Business Combination.

 

Unit Purchase Option

 

The Company sold to the underwriter (and/or its designees), for $100, an option to purchase up to 1,350,000 units exercisable at $10.00 per Unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $13,500,000) commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement related to the Offering (July 27, 2018) and the consummation of a Business Combination. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires five years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Offering. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Offering. The Company has accounted for the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company estimated that the fair value of this unit purchase option was approximately $4,547,505(or $3.37 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.80% and (3) expected life of five years. The option and the 1,350,000 Units have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASDAQ Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of Offering except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price.
