Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
On May 20, 2014, Capitol Acquisition Management 2 LLC, an entity controlled by Mark D. Ein, the chief executive officer of Capitol Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”), and L. Dyson Dryden, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Lenders”), loaned the Company an aggregate of $250,000. The loans are evidenced by unsecured promissory notes issued to Lenders. The loans are non interest bearing and are payable at the consummation by the Company of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of a Business Combination, the principal balance of the notes may be converted, at the holders’ option, to warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The terms of the warrants will be identical to the warrants issued by the Company in its initial public offering except that such warrants will be non-redeemable by the Company and will be exercisable for cash or on a “cashless” basis, in each case, if held by the initial holders or their permitted transferees. If the Lenders convert the entire principal balance of the notes, they would receive warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the notes will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder by the Company will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company had funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with the initial public offering. The issuance of the notes to the Lenders was exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
