Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 18, 2015, E-compass Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 4,000,000 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $.0001 par value per share (“Ordinary Share”), and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000. The underwriter of the IPO was granted an option to purchase up to 600,000 Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 310,000 Units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,100,000, to an affiliate of Richard Xu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. The purchaser has agreed (A) to vote the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Placement Units (the “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 in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for 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 the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. Additionally, the purchaser has 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.

A total of $40,800,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of August 18, 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.
