On August 14, 2013, the Company consummated its IPO of 17,250,000 units (“Public Units”), including the full exercise of the underwriters overallotment option of 2,250,000 units (the “Over-Allotment Units”; collectively with the Public Units, the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per (“Common Stock”), and one warrant (“Warrant”), to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. As a result, the sponsor of the Company will not be obligated to forfeit any of 750,000 shares of Common Stock held by it that had been subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriters’ did not exercise the over-allotment option in full.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Overallotment Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,150,000 units (“Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $11,500,000. Each Placement Unit is comprised one share of Common Stock and one Warrant (“Placement Warrant”). The Placement Warrants included in the Placement Units, which were purchased by Quinpario Partners I, LLC, are substantially similar to the Warrants underlying the Public Units, except that if held by the original holder or their permitted assigns, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption and (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. If the Placement Warrants are held by holders other than its initial holders, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO.
A total of $177,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO, the sale of the Overallotment Units and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. Copies of the press releases issued by the Company announcing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and consummation of the IPO are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 9, 2013, the Company filed its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the State of Delaware. The terms of the foregoing are set forth in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
