On May 23, 2017, GP Investments Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which it submitted to a vote of shareholders two proposals.

The first proposal, to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding shares, was to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “business combination”), (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Company’s ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on May 26, 2015 (the “IPO”), from May 26, 2017 to November 27, 2017 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

The second proposal, to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares on the record date, was to approve, assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and adopted, the amendment of the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 19, 2015, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed an initial business combination, from May 26, 2017 to November 27, 2017, and to permit the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account to pay shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”).

At the extraordinary general meeting, holders of 19,333,589 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, which represents 89.66% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of April 24, 2017, were represented in person or by proxy.

At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the votes set forth below:

Approval of Extension Amendment Proposal

Approval of Trust Amendment Proposal

As previously announced, on May 16, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Let’s Go Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Rimini Street, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Rimini Street”), and the Holder Representative named therein.

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, at the closing Merger Sub will merge with and into Rimini Street (the “First Merger”) with Rimini Street continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The surviving corporation of the First Merger will then merge with and into the Company (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

The closing of the Mergers is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others, approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal (the ”Extension Approval Condition”). Accordingly, as described in Item 5.07, the Extension Approval Condition has been satisfied.

The Company and Rimini Street continue to target closing the transaction in the third quarter of 2017. However, there can be no assurances regarding the timing of satisfaction of all closing conditions (including shareholder and regulatory approvals) set forth in the Merger Agreement, which could delay timing of the closing.

Forward Looking Statements

The Company believes that some of the information in this Form 8-K constitutes forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “will”, “expects” and “proposes” or similar words.

Risks, uncertainties and events may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by the Company in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K. All forward-looking statements included herein in this Form 8-K are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company’s shareholders are also advised to read the Definitive Proxy Statement, and any other relevant materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), carefully in their entirety, once available, including the section included therein relating to forward-looking statements, before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the matters referred to in this Form 8-K.
