Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On June 10, 2016, Origo Acquisition Corporation (formerly CB Pharma Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the shareholders approved each of the following items: (i) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) to December 12, 2016 (the “Extension Amendment”), (ii) an amendment to the Charter to allow the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO,” and such shares, the “public shares”) to elect to convert their public shares into their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established at the time of the IPO (the “trust account”) if the Extension is implemented (the “Conversion Amendment”) and (iii) to change the Company’s name from “CB Pharma Acquisition Corp.” to “Origo Acquisition Corporation” (the “Name Change Amendment”).

The purpose of the Extension was to allow the Company more time to complete a business combination and to better reflect the Company’s new management (described below) and current search for a business combination target. Under Cayman Islands law, the amendments to the Charter took effect upon their approval. Accordingly, the Company now has until December 12, 2016 to consummate an initial business combination.

Set forth below are the final voting results for each of the proposals:

 

Extension Amendment

 

The Extension Amendment was approved as follows:

 

For   Against   Abstentions  
5,168,088   131,6011   0  

 

Conversion Amendment

 

The Conversion Amendment was approved as follows:

 

For   Against   Abstentions  
5,298,189   0   1,500  
 
 

 

Name Change Amendment

 

The Name Change Amendment was approved as follows:

 

For   Against   Abstentions  
5,168,000   0   131,601  

 

Shareholders holding 1,054,401 public shares exercised their right to convert such public shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $10,756,145 (or approximately $10.20 per share) was removed from the trust account to pay such holders.

 

As previously reported by the Company, pursuant to the agreement entered into on May 20, 2016 between the Company, the Company’s shareholders prior to its initial public offering and EJF Opportunities, LLC, Stephen B. Pudles, Jose M. Aldeanueva, Jeffrey J. Gutovich Profit Sharing Plan and Barry Rodgers, effective as of the approval of the Extension, (i) each of Lindsay A. Rosenwald, Michael Weiss, George Avgerinos, Adam J. Chill, Arthur A. Kornbluth and Neil Herskowitz resigned from his position as an officer and/or director of the Company and (ii) Edward J. Fred and Jose M. Aldeanueva were appointed as Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, of the Company and Edward J. Fred, Jose M. Aldeanueva, Stephen Pudles, Jeffrey J. Gutovich and Barry Rodgers became directors of the Company.

 

Because the Extension Amendment was approved, as indicated in the Company’s proxy statement relating to the Meeting, the new management of the Company contributed to the Company as a loan $0.20 for each public share that was not converted. Accordingly, an aggregate of approximately $629,120 was contributed to the Company and deposited in the trust account. As a result, the conversion amount per share in any subsequent business combination or liquidation will be approximately $10.40 per share. The amount of the contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to the lenders upon consummation of an initial business combination. If an initial business combination is not consummated by the required In addition to the aforementioned contribution, the new management loaned the Company an additional $370,880 for the Company’s working capital needs, for an aggregate of $1,000,000 loaned to the Company. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note and is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable at the consummation by the Company of a business combination. Upon consummation of a business combination, up to $175,000 of the principal balance of the note may be converted, at the holders’ 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 new management converts the entire $175,000 of the principal balance of the note, they would receive 17,500 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 the trust account. The issuance of the note to new management was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
