Founder Shares

 

On November 13, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 shares (the "Founder Shares") of the Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 ("Class B Common Stock") for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the Company's initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in Note 6. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment, at any time. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 562,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the 45-day over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. Since the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part, the Sponsor forfeited 80,278 Founder Shares on September 21, 2018. The Founder Shares forfeited by the Sponsor were cancelled by the Company. The Sponsor agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 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 commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Chardan purchased an aggregate of 6,560,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (5,810,000 by the Sponsor and 750,000 by Chardan) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,560,000. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of equity or equity-linked securities). Concurrently with the underwriter's partial exercise of the over-allotment, the Company consummated a private sale of an additional 385,778 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $385,778. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the underwriter's partial exercise of the over-allotment are held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. In addition, for as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by Chardan or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. 

 

The Sponsor and Chardan and the Company's officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
