Note 1. Interim Financial Information
These unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2010, the results of operations for the period from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010, and cash flows for the period from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. |
Note 2. Organization and Business Operations
Incorporation |
JWC Acquisition Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on July 22, 2010. |
Sponsor |
The Companys Sponsor is JWC Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Sponsor). Members of the Sponsor owning a majority of the Sponsors equity interests are affiliated with J.W. Childs Associates, L.P. (Associates), a private equity firm founded in 1995 by John W. Childs, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Adam L. Suttin, the Companys President. |
Fiscal year end |
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. |
Business purpose |
The Company was formed to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (an Initial Business Combination). |
Financing |
The Sponsor intends to finance an Initial Business Combination in part with proceeds from a $125,000,000 public offering (the Public Offering Note 4), and a $4,000,000 private placement (Note 5). |
Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the private placement, $124,950,000 (or $143,325,000 if the underwriters over-allotment option is exercised in full Note 4) will be held in the Trust Account (discussed below). |
5
Table of Contents
Trust Account |
The trust account (the Trust Account) will be invested in permitted United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which we refer to as the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. The funds in the Trust Account will be held in the name of JWC Acquisition Security Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company qualified as a Massachusetts security corporation. |
Except for a portion of interest income earned on the Trust Account balance that may be released to the Company to pay any taxes on such interest and to fund working capital requirements, and any amounts necessary for the Company to purchase up to 15% of the Companys public shares if the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of common stock included in the units being sold in the Public Offering if the Company is unable to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). |
Business Combination |
An Initial Business Combination is subject to the following size, focus and stockholder approval provisions: |
Size and Nature of Transaction The prospective target business will not have a limitation to size, except that the Company will not be permitted to effectuate its Initial Business Combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations. In any case, the Company will not consummate an Initial Business Combination unless it acquires a controlling interest in a target company or are otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. | |||
Focus The Companys efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will initially be focused on businesses in the consumer products and specialty retail sectors but the Company may pursue opportunities in other business sectors. | |||
Tender Offer/Stockholder Approval The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be |

Table of Contents
based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will consummate its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination. |
Regardless of whether the Company holds a stockholder vote or a tender offer in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable. As a result, such shares of common stock will be recorded at conversion/tender value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. | |||
Permitted Purchase of Public Shares If the Company seeks stockholder approval prior to the Initial Business Combination and does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, prior to the Initial Business Combination, the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will permit the release to the Company from the Trust Account, amounts necessary to purchase up to 15% of the shares sold in the Public Offering. All shares so purchased by the Company will be immediately cancelled. |
Liquidation |
If the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and subject to the requirement that any refund of income taxes that were paid from the Trust Account which is received after such redemption shall be distributed to the former public stockholders, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Companys remaining stockholders and the Companys board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Companys obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. |
In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public |

offering price per share in the Public Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the warrants contained in the units to be offered in the Public Offering discussed in Note 4). |
Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation |
The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
Development Stage Company |
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined by FASB ASC Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income to date. All activity through the date the financial statements were issued relates to the Companys formation and the Public Offering. Following such offering, the Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of an Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on the designated Trust Account after the Public Offering. |
Net loss per share |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants held by the Sponsor (see Note 5), as calculated using the treasury stock method. During the period from inception through September 30, 2010, the Company had no contracts to issue common stock. As a result, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share. |
Use of estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Income taxes |
Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
The Company evaluates the uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Companys financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax |
8
Table of Contents
positions deemed not to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current period. The Company has no uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2010. |
Deferred offering costs |
Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, and underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that will be charged to capital upon the receipt of the capital raised. |
Fair value of financial instruments |
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial instruments, including cash and the note payable and loan payable to affiliate, approximate their carrying amount due primarily to their short-term nature. |
Recent accounting pronouncements |
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
Note 4. Public Offering
Public Units |
The Public Offering calls for the Company to offer for sale 12,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the Public Units). Each unit consists of one share of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value (the Public Stock), and one warrant (the Public Warrants). The Company intends to grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,875,000 additional Public Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. |
As described further in Note 9, the Company consummated the Public Offering on November 23, 2010. |
Public Warrant terms and conditions: |
Exercise conditions Each Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share commencing on the later of: (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, or (ii) 12 months from the date of the prospectus for the offering, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and such shares are registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder. The Public Warrants expire five years from the date of the prospectus, unless earlier redeemed. The Public Warrants will be redeemable in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. If the Public Warrants are redeemed by the Company, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a cashless basis. |
9
Table of Contents
Registration risk In accordance with a warrant agreement relating to the Public Warrants, the Company will be required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to common stock which would be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holders of such Public Warrants shall not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrants (except on a cashless basis under certain circumstances) and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle or cash settle the Public Warrants. Consequently, the Public Warrants may expire unexercised, unredeemed and worthless, and an investor in the Public Offering may effectively pay the full unit price solely for the shares of common stock included in the Public Units. | |||
Accounting Since the Company is not required to net cash settle the Public Warrants, management has determined that the Public Warrants will be recorded at fair value and classified within stockholders equity as Additional paid-in capital upon their issuance in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-40. |
Underwriting Agreement
The Company is committed to pay an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the public unit offering price
to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee of 3.5% of the
gross offering proceeds payable upon the Companys consummation of an Initial Business Combination.
The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred discount.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares In August 2010, the Sponsor purchased 2,464,286 shares of common stock
(the Founder Shares) for $25,000, or $0.01 per share. On October 25, 2010, the Sponsor returned
to the Company an aggregate of 124,170 of the founder shares, which the Company has cancelled.
Thereafter, on October 25, 2010, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 23,400 founder shares to
John K. Haley and Sonny King, each of whom has agreed to serve on the board of directors upon the
closing of the Public Offering.
Forfeiture The Founder Shares include 305,232 shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture if and to the extent the underwriters over-allotment option is not exercised, so that the Sponsor and its permitted transferees will continue to own 14.0% of the Companys issued and outstanding shares after the Public Offering. | |||
In addition, a portion of the Founder Shares in an amount equal to 2.0% of the Companys issued and outstanding shares after the Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option, if applicable (Earnout Shares), will be subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor in the event the last sales price of the Companys stock does not equal or |
10
Table of Contents
exceed $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within 24 months following the closing of the Companys Initial Business Combination. |
As of December 2, 2010, the underwriters of the Public Offering decided not to exercise the over-allotment option. As a result, the Sponsor and Mssrs. Haley and King are required to return to the Company an aggregate of 305,232 of the founder shares, which the Company will cancel. | |||
Rights The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of common stock included in the units being sold in the Public Offering except that (i) the Founder Shares will be subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and (ii) the Sponsor will agree to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and public shares it purchases in connection with the Initial Business Combination and will also waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering. As described further in Note 9, the Company consummated the Public Offering on November 23, 2010. | |||
Voting If the Company seeks stockholder approval of its Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor will agree to vote the Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders and to vote any public shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of the Initial Business Combination. | |||
Liquidation Although the Sponsor and its permitted transferees will waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering, they will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any public shares they may own. |
Sponsor Warrants Members of the Sponsor have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 5,333,333
warrants (the Sponsor Warrants) at $0.75 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of
$4,000,000) from the Company on a private placement basis simultaneously with the closing of the
Public Offering.
Exercise conditions Each Sponsor Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Sponsor Warrant will be added to the proceeds from the Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor Warrants will be identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Public Offering except that the Sponsor Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company as long as they are held by members of the Sponsor or any of their permitted transferees, (ii) will be subject to certain transfer restrictions described in more detail below and (iii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. | |||
Accounting Since the Company is not required to net-cash settle the Sponsor Warrants, management has determined that the Sponsor Warrants will be recorded at fair value and |
11
Table of Contents
classified within stockholders equity as Additional paid-in capital upon their issuance in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-40. |
Disposition Restrictions The Sponsor will agree not to transfer, assign or sell any of
the Founder Shares until one year after the completion of its Initial Business Combination or
earlier if the last sales price of the Companys common stock exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20
trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days from the date of
consummation of an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or
sell any of the Sponsor Warrants including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor
Warrants until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights The holders of the Founder Shares, Warrants and warrants that may be
issued upon conversion of working capital loans will hold registration rights to require the
Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights
agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Public Offering. These stockholders
will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company
register such securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act). In addition, these stockholders will have piggy-back registration rights to include their
securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. However, the registration rights
agreement provides 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, which occurs
(i) in the case of the Founder Shares, (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business
Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, the last sales price of
the Companys 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 (B)
when the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
after the Companys Initial Business Combination which results in all of the Companys stockholders
having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property,
and (ii) in the case of the Sponsor Warrants and the respective common stock underlying such
warrants, 30 days after the completion of the Companys Initial Business Combination. The Company
will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.
Note 6. Other Related Party Transactions
Administrative services |
The Company has agreed to pay up to $5,000 a month in total for office space and general and administrative services to Associates. Services will commence promptly after the date the Companys securities are first quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. |
Loan payable |
12
Table of Contents
During the period from July 22, 2010 (date of inception) to September 30, 2010, Associates paid vendor bills on behalf of the Company in the aggregate amount of $30,095. Such amount is payable on demand without interest. |
Note payable |
On August 5, 2010, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note for $25,000 to Associates; proceeds from the loan were used to fund a portion of the organizational and offering expenses owed by the Company to third parties. This note was subsequently paid on November 23, 2010. |
Note 7. Income Taxes
Components of the Companys deferred tax assets are as follows: |
Net operating loss carry-forward |
$ | 1,700 | ||
Less, valuation allowance |
(1,700 | ) | ||
$ | | |||
Management has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets because it does not believe it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34% due to the establishment of the valuation allowance. The net operating loss carry-forward expires in 2030. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the Company, us or we refer to JWC Acquisition Corp. The following discussion
and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in
this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including,
without limitation, statements under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and
objectives of management for future operations, are forward looking statements. When used in this
Form 10-Q, words such as anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend and similar
expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Such
forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by,
and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). All subsequent written or oral
forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in
their entirety by this paragraph.
Overview
We are a newly organized blank check company formed on July 22, 2010 for the purpose of effecting a
merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses (an Initial Business Combination). We are not
limited to a particular industry, geographic region or minimum transaction value for purposes of
consummating an Initial Business Combination, except that we will seek to capitalize on the
substantial deal sourcing, investing and operating expertise of our management team to identify,
acquire and operate a middle-market business in the consumer products or specialty retail sectors
operating primarily in North America. In addition, we will not effect a business combination with
another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
Results of Operations
For the period from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010 we had a net loss of
$5,113 and incurred costs of $99,049 with regard to our initial public offering, which were
classified as deferred offering costs on our balance sheet.
Our entire activity from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010, was in preparation
for our initial public offering which was consummated on November 23, 2010. We believe that we have
sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect an Initial Business Combination with
an operating business within the required 21 months from November 23, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 23, 2010, we consummated our initial public offering of 12,500,000 units at a price of
$10 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering, we consummated
the private sale of 5,333,333 warrants (the Sponsor Warrants) to members of our Sponsor, JWC
Acquisition, LLC (our Sponsor) for $4.0 million. We received net proceeds from our initial public
offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants of approximately $125.75 million, net of the
non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions of $2.5 million (none of which were incurred
from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010) and offering costs and other expenses of
approximately $750,000 (of which $43,519 were incurred from July 22, 2010 (inception) through
September 30, 2010). For a description of the proceeds generated in our initial public offering and
a discussion of the use of such proceeds, we refer you to Note 9 of the unaudited condensed
financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. As of September 30, 2010, we had
cash of $31,363. Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of
liquidity was a loan made to us in August 2010 by J.W. Childs Associates, L.P., a private equity
firm founded in 1995 by John W. Childs, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Adam L.
Suttin, our President. This loan was repaid out of the proceeds of the offering. All liabilities of
the Company at September 30, 2010 were related to costs associated with the offering.
Off-balance sheet financing arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet
arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would
have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special
purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any
non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or
long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $5,000 for office space and general and
administrative services payable to J.W. Childs Associates, L.P. We began incurring this fee on
November 23, 2010 and will continue to incur this fee monthly until the earlier of the completion
of our Initial Business Combination and our liquidation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have
identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
16
Table of Contents
Loss per common share:
Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Deferred offering costs:
Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, and underwriting fees incurred
through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that will be charged to
capital upon the receipt of the capital raised.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if
currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We were incorporated in Delaware on July 22, 2010 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital
stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more operating businesses. We were considered in the development stage at September 30,
2010 and had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2010 relates to
our formation and our initial public offering. We did not have any financial instruments that were
exposed to market risks at September 30, 2010.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. Based upon their evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report are any
of the risks described in our prospectus dated November 17, 2010 filed with the SEC. Any of these
factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or
financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in
our prospectus dated November 17, 2010 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such
factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In August 2010, our Sponsor purchased 2,464,286 shares of our common stock (the founder shares)
for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. Subsequently, on
October 25, 2010, our Sponsor returned to us an aggregate of 124,170 of such founder shares, which
we have cancelled. Thereafter, on October 25, 2010, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 23,400
founder shares to John K. Haley and Sonny King, each of whom has agreed to serve on our board of
directors upon the closing of our initial public offering. As of December 2, 2010, the underwriters
of our initial public offering decided not to exercise the over-allotment option. As a result, the
Sponsor and Mssrs. Haley and King are required to return to us an aggregate of 305,232 of the
founder shares for cancellation.
The securities described in the preceding paragraph were issued and transferred in connection with
our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), as they were sold accredited investors.
John W. Childs, Adam L. Suttin, Arthur P. Byrne, David A. Fiorentino, Raymond B. Rudy, Jeffrey J.
Teschke and William E. Watts are members of our Sponsor. John W. Childs has sole voting and
dispositive control of the shares of our common stock held by our Sponsor. Mr. Childs disclaims
beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
Our Sponsor is an accredited investor for purposes of Rule 501 of Regulation D. The sole business
of our sponsor is to act as our Sponsor in connection with our initial public offering. The limited
partnership agreement of our Sponsor provides that its partnership interests
18

may only be transferred to officers or directors of the Company or other persons affiliated with
our Sponsor, or in connection with estate planning transfers.
Use of Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering
On November 23, 2010, we consummated our initial public offering of 12,500,000 units, with each
unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our
common stock at an exercise of $11.50 per share. The warrants will become exercisable on the later
of (i) 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (ii) 12 months from the
closing of the initial public offering. The warrants expire five years after the completion of our
Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become
exercisable, the warrants will be redeemable in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per
warrant upon a minimum of 30 days notice if, and only if, the last sale price of our common stock
equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on
the third business day before we send the notice of redemption. The units in the public offering
were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $125,000,000.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., acted as sole bookrunning manager and as representative of I-Bankers
Securities, Inc., Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and Maxim Group LLC. (together, the
Underwriters). The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a
registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-168798). The SEC declared the registration statement
effective on November 17, 2010.
We paid a total of $2.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions (none of which were
incurred from July 22, 2010 (inception) through September 30, 2010) and approximately $750,000 for
other costs and expenses related to the offering (of which $43,519 were incurred from July 22, 2010
(inception) through September 30, 2010). In addition, the Underwriters agreed to defer $4.375
million in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation
of our Initial Business Combination if consummated. We also repaid J.W. Childs Associates, L.P. in
satisfaction of an outstanding promissory note after the closing of our initial public offering.
We also consummated the simultaneous private sale of 5,333,333 Sponsor Warrants to members of our
Sponsor at a price of $0.75 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000). The
Sponsor Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants) will
not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our Initial
Business Combination (except, among certain other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors
and other persons or entities affiliated with the members of our Sponsor) and they will not be
redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by members of our Sponsor or their permitted
transferees. Otherwise, the Sponsor Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those
of the warrants being sold as part of the units in our initial public offering, except that the
Sponsor Warrants may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis. The sale of the Sponsor
Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of
$4.375 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon
consummation of our Initial Business Combination if consummated) and the estimated offering
expenses, the total net proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement of
19
