The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $72,000,000 to the Company. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as lead managing underwriter for the offering. Copies of the final prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained for free by visiting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov.

An audited balance sheet of the Company as of May 6, 2015 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the initial public offering and the private placement will be included as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Arowana Inc. is a newly formed blank check company organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. While the Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to any particular industry or geographic region, the Company initially intends to focus on target businesses located in the Asia Pacific region (with a particular emphasis on South East Asia and Australia) operating in the energy (including solar and alternative energy) industry, or target businesses in such an industry operating outside of those geographic locations which we believe would benefit from expanding their operations to such locations.
