In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on October 20, 2017, 1,437,500 Founder Shares were purchased by the Sponsor for the amount of $25,000, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provided that 187,500 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter of the IPO did not exercise its overallotment option in full. On February 8, 2018, the underwriter of the IPO exercised such overallotment option in full. As a result, the 187,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

Pursuant to the escrow agreement described below, the Founder Shares were placed into escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as escrow agent and subject to lock-up restrictions as further described in the summary of the “Stock Escrow Agreement” below.

On February 8, 2018, simultaneously with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 18,750 Placement Units pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Placement Units and the securities underlying such Placement Units are subject to a lock up provision in the Subscription Agreement, which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter.

 

The description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 22, 2018 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).

The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 1, 2017 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.4).

 

Insider Letter

 

On January 29, 2018, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its Founder Shares, any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem the public shares if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the completion of the initial public offering, unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares and any shares underlying the Placement Units into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the Founder Shares and any shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated.

 

Steven Van Dyke also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), he will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer, or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.

 

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 1, 2018 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).  

  

Stock Escrow Agreement

 

On January 29, 2018, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) entered into a stock escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which, all of the Founder Shares were deposited in escrow during the period (the “Escrow Period”) commencing on January 29, 2018 and (i) for 50% of the Founder Shares, ending on the earlier of (x) one year after the date of the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination and (y) the date on which the closing sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Issuer’s initial business combination and (ii) for the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, ending one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Issuer’s initial business combination, the Issuer consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

 

 

The limited exceptions to the foregoing restrictions include transfers (i) to the Issuer’s officers, directors, employees, consultants or their affiliates, (ii) to Sponsor’s officers, directors, employees or members, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the immediate family of a member of the Sponsor or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the Sponsor or a member of the immediate family of a member of the Sponsor for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) to the Issuer for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a business combination or (vii) by private sales of the Founder Shares made at or prior to the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Founder Shares were originally purchased; provided, however, that except for clause (vi) or with the Issuer’s prior consent, such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Insider Letter signed by the Sponsor transferring the shares. If dividends are declared and payable in ordinary shares, such dividends will also be placed in escrow.

 

The summary of the Escrow Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, the form of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 1, 2018 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.5).
