Founder Shares

 

In August 2018, the Company issued 1,725,000 Class B ordinary shares to its initial shareholders as founder shares, of which an aggregate of 1,650,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued for an aggregate purchase price of $17,250 or $0.010454545 per share, and an aggregate of 75,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued for services rendered. On September 10, 2018, the Company issued an additional 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares to its initial shareholders as founder shares, of which an aggregate of 1,135,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued for an aggregate purchase price of $2,300 or approximately $0.00202643 per share, and an aggregate of 15,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued for services rendered. On September 14, 2018, the Company's initial shareholders converted all of their Class B ordinary shares, constituting all of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares of the Company, into Class A ordinary shares and, immediately thereafter, the Company amended and restated its Memorandum and Articles of Association to eliminate the Class B ordinary shares and re-designate the Class A ordinary shares as "ordinary shares." As a result, prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Company's initial shareholders held 2,875,000 founder shares. The 2,875,000 founder shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000 ordinary shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters in full or in part. On November 20, 2018, as a result of the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option, 3,002 founder shares were forfeited.

 

The founder shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering. However, the Initial Shareholders have agreed to (A) to vote any shares owned by them in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to convert any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or any amendment to the Company's charter documents prior to consummation of an initial Business Combination, or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination and (C) that the founder shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution from the Trust Account upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

  

Additionally, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination, and with respect to the remaining 50% of the founder shares, upon six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in each case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company's shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. 

 

Related Party Advances

 

In the Company's formation process, the Sponsor advanced HK$22,000, equivalent to US$2,818, to pay for the legal expenses associated with the business registration. On September 5, 2018, the Sponsor advanced the Company an additional HK$1,985 (equivalent to US$256) for bank service charges. The Company repaid the Sponsor $2,818 and $256 on July 6, 2018 and December 28, 2018, respectively. On October 19, 2018, the Company's Sponsor advanced the Company an additional $71,000 for costs associated with the Initial Public Offering. Such advances were non-interest bearing and were repaid by the Company on November 15, 2018.

 

To participate in the private placement in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company's Sponsor made a deposit of $3,299,979 (net of a bank service charge) into the Company's escrow account on October 21, 2018. Because the Company's underwriter did not exercise its over-allotment option in full and cancelled the remaining portion on November 20, 2018, the Company's Sponsor subscribed to a total of 329,760 Private Units for $3,297,600, and the remaining $2,379 was repaid by the Company to the Sponsor as of March 31, 2019.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Units. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

 

On July 6, 2018, the Sponsor loaned the Company $300,000 under a promissory note, a portion of which was used to pay for costs associated with the Initial Public Offering. The loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the closing of a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $300,000 outstanding under the promissory note. 

 

On January 24, 2020, the Sponsor loaned the Company $780,000 under a promissory note (the "Sponsor Note") in order to partially fund the amount required to be deposited into the Trust Account to extend the period of time required by the Company to complete a Business Combination. The loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the closing of a Business Combination. The Sponsor Note may also be converted, at the Sponsor's discretion, into units of the post Business Combination entity at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Units.

 

Administrative Service Fee

 

The Company has agreed, commencing on August 1, 2018, to pay the Sponsor, a monthly fee of an aggregate of $1,000 for general and administrative services including office space, utilities and secretarial support, due before the first day of each month. This arrangement will terminate upon the completion of a Business Combination or a distribution of the Trust Account to the public shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from February 16, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018, the Company incurred and paid administrative fees of $12,000 and $6,000, respectively.

  

Other than the $1,000 per month administrative fee, the $290,000 payment to White and Williams LLP (an affiliate of our director) for its legal services to the Company in connection with the IPO and other payments to such firm for legal services (including with respect to periodic filings) prior to the initial business combination and the repayment of $300,000 of non-interest bearing loans described above, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder's fee, consulting fees and other similar fees, will be paid to our initial shareholders, members of our management team or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to, or in order to effectuate the consummation of, our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us.
