Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On May 6, 2015, the Company consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,200,000 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $.0001 par value per share (“Ordinary Share”), one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and one redeemable warrant entitling the holder to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share at a price of $12.50 per full share commencing on the later of the Company’s completion of its business combination or April 30, 2016 (“Warrant”). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $72,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 455,000 Units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,550,000, to the Company’s initial shareholders prior to the IPO and their affiliates. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except the warrants included in the Private Placement Units will be non-redeemable, may be exercised on a cashless basis and may be exercisable for unregistered ordinary shares if the prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not current and effective, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. The holders of the Private Placement Units have agreed (A) to vote the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Placement Units (“Private Shares”) in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to the Company’s pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to convert their public shares into the right to receive cash from the Company’s trust account in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any Private Shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated within the required time period. Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

An audited balance sheet as of May 6, 2015 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

On May 12, 2015, the Company consummated the closing of the full over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,080,000 Units. The Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $10,800,000. In a private sale that took place simultaneously with the consummation of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company’s initial shareholders prior to the IPO and their affiliates purchased an additional 54,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Of the gross proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option and the additional Private Placement Units, $11,016,000 was placed in trust, for a total of $84,456,000 placed in trust, or $10.20 per share sold in the IPO (including upon exercise of the over-allotment option). A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the consummation of the over-allotment option and additional private placement is included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
