At the special meeting, stockholders of the Company will be asked to vote on a proposal to amend (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional 150 days, from July 22, 2016 to December 19, 2016 (the “Extended Date”), provided that the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination on or before July 22, 2016; and a proposal to amend (the “Trust Amendment”) the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated July 16, 2014, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date. The special meeting will still be held at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, located at the MetLife Building, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.

In connection with the adjournment of the special meeting, the Company is extending the deadline for holders of the Company’s Class A common stock to exercise their right to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company’s trust account in connection with the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment to the close of business on July 15, 2016 (two business days before the special meeting).
