NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus, as well as the holders of the Private Units (and all underlying securities) and any securities our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us, are be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently without initial public offering. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company agreed to grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 600,000 Units (over and above 4,000,000 units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments at the Proposed Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. 

 

At the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, the underwriters will be entitled to a cash underwriting discount of six and half percent (6.5%), or $0.65 per unit, of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering. Two and one-half percent (2.5%), or $0.25 per share, is not contingent and will be paid at the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. Four percent (4.0%), or $0.40 per unit, is contingent on the closing of a business combination and will be deferred by the underwriters and be placed in the Trust Account. Such deferred amount will only be payable to the underwriters upon closing of a business combination. Further, the deferred amount paid to the underwriters upon the closing of a business combination will be reduced by two percent (2.0%), or $0.20 per unit, for each unit that is redeemed by shareholders in connection with the business combination. If the business combination is not consummated, the deferred amount will be forfeited by the underwriters. The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred amount.

 

Unit Purchase Option

 

The Company agreed to sell to the underwriters, at the time of the closing of the Public Offering for $100, an underwriter purchase option (the "UPO") to purchase an aggregate number of Units as would be equal to six percent (6.0%) of the total number of Units sold in the Public Offering. The UPO will be exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, between the first and fifth anniversary dates of the Effective Date at a price per Unit equal to 110% of the Public Offering price of the Units.

 

The Company sold to Maxim for $100, an option to purchase 276,000 units exercisable, at $11.50 per unit commencing at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering. The purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder's option, and expires on May 13, 2024. The Company accounted for the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders' equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of the unit purchase option is approximately $747,960, or $2.71 per Unit, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option to be granted to the underwriters is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 2.18% and (3) expected life of four years between first and fifth anniversary dates of the Effective Date. The option and the units, as well as the ordinary shares and warrants to purchase ordinary shares that may be issued upon exercise of the option, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the commencement of sales in the Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA's Rules, during which time the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative or put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated prior to May 13, 2020 except to any underwriters 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 of which forms a part with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. We 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 our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period of 18 months after the date of the consummation of the business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriters or minimally as a co-manager, with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal, 20% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement for our initial public offering.
