As of the Record Date, there were no preferred shares of the Company issued and outstanding.

Consent Solicitation
As previously disclosed in the definitive consent solicitation materials filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2017, in connection with the Companys offer to each holder of the Companys public and private warrants to purchase one-third of one ordinary share of the Company (Ordinary Share) for a purchase price of one-third of $11.50 (the Warrants) to receive 0.1 Ordinary Shares in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the Offer), the Company solicited consents (the Consent Solicitation) from holders of the Warrants to approve an amendment (the Warrant Amendment) to the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to provide the Company with the right to require the holders of Warrants not tendered in the Offer to exchange their Warrants for Ordinary Shares of the Company at an exchange ratio of 0.09 ordinary shares for each Warrant.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 19, 2017. A total of 65,933,459 Warrants, or approximately 98.4081% of the 67,000,000 outstanding Warrants, were properly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, and were therefore deemed to have consented to the Warrant Amendment. Because consents were received from holders of more than 65% of the Companys Warrants, the Warrant Amendment was approved. The Company plans to exercise its right under the Warrant Amendment and exchange any remaining outstanding Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.09 ordinary shares for each Warrant. This exchange is expected to take place on July 17, 2017.
The Company issued 6,593,321 Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants tendered in the Offer, resulting in a total of 110,109,076 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 23, 2017 as well as 1,666,883 restricted shares granted pursuant to the Companys 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Item 8.01 Other Information.
On June 23, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offer and the Consent Solicitation.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
