Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On September 28, 2015, Garnero Group Acquisition Company (the “Company”) issued a $500,000 convertible promissory note to Mario Garnero, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Lender”), to evidence a loan made by the Lender to the Company. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable at the consummation by the Company of an initial 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 note may be converted, at the holder’s option, to units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The terms of the units will be identical to the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering except that the warrants included in such units 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 Lender converts the entire principal balance of the convertible promissory note, it would receive 50,000 units. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the note 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 note to the Lender was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
