(1) This amount represents additional expenses that may be incurred by the Company in connection with the offering over and above those specifically listed above, including distribution and mailing costs.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

British Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands Court to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that, subject to certain limitations, the company shall indemnify its directors and officers against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On March 11, 2011, Blue Wolf MHC Ltd., our sponsor, purchased 2,012,500 ordinary shares for an aggregate offering price of $25,000 at an average purchase price of approximately $0.012 per share. The founder shares held by our sponsor include an aggregate of 262,500 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full. In addition, 514,706 founder shares (or 591,912 founder shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be subject to forfeiture by our sponsor as follows: (1) 265,152 founder shares (or 304,924 founder shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be subject to forfeiture in the event the last sales price of our shares does not equal or exceed $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30-trading day period within 36 months following the closing of our initial business combination and (2) 249,554 founder shares (or 286,988 founder shares if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be subject to forfeiture in the event the last sales price of our

Each of the equity holders in our sponsor is an accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

In addition, members of our sponsor have committed to purchase from us an aggregate of 4,166,667 sponsor warrants at $0.75 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $3,125,000).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
