We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Edoc Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of November 12, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statement”).

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

EDOC ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET

November 12, 2020

 

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

 

Edoc Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on August 20, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific business combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to the Business Combination.

 

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

As of November 12, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through November 12, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”) described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash held in Trust Account from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

 

The Company’s sponsor is American Physicians LLC, a Cayman limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

 

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). On November 12, 2020, the Company consummated the IPO of 9,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “public shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $90,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 414,000 private units and 65,000 private units to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”), the representative of the underwriters (the “Private Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, which is discussed in Note 4.

 

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $2,540,634 consisting of $1,575,000 of underwriting discount, the fair value of the representative’s warrants of $409,500, and $556,134 of other offering costs.

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 12, 2020, $91,530,000 ($10.17 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months if the Company extends the period of time) from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s financial position will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s financial position may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit the Company’s ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial Business Combination in a timely manner. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying balance sheet is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of November 12, 2020.

 

Cash Held in Trust Account

 

At November 12, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash.

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At November 12, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, as of November 12, 2020, offering costs in the aggregate of $2,540,634 have been charged to shareholders’ equity (consisting of $1,575,000 of underwriting discount, the fair value of the Representative Warrants (defined in Note 6) of $409,500, and $556,134 of other offering costs).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of November 12, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.

 

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

 

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 9,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary shares, one-half warrant to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares, and one right. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (see Note 7). Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination (see Note 7).

 

Other Receivable

 

At the closing of the IPO on November 12, 2020, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units sold in the amount of $1,193,015 was due to the Company to be held outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Such amount was received by the Company on November 13, 2020.

 

Note 4 — Private Placement

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and I-Bankers purchased an aggregate of 414,000 Private Units and 65,000 Private Units, respectively, for an aggregate of 479,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,790,000, in a private placement. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.

 

Each Private Unit is identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that warrants that are part of the Private Placement Units are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the original holders or their permitted transferees. In addition, for as long as the warrants that are part of the Private Placement Units are held by I-Bankers or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

The Company’s Sponsor, officers, and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares, and public shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares, private shares, and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination the Combination Period. In addition, the Company’s Sponsor, officers, and directors have agreed to vote any founder shares, private shares, and public shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

 

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

In September 2020, the Sponsor subscribed 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, in connection with formation. On November 9, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered an aggregate of 287,500 founder shares, which were cancelled, resulting in an aggregate of 2,587,500 founder shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor (see Note 7). The founder shares include an aggregate of up to 337,500 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters in full.

 

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% its founder shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination , or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination , the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

In September 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. As of November 12, 2020, the Sponsor had loaned to the Company an aggregate of $177,591 under the promissory note to pay for formation costs and a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The loan was repaid at the closing of the IPO.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. At November 12, 2020, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

 

Administrative Service Fee

 

The Company has agreed, commencing on November 10, 2020 (the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on Nasdaq) to pay an affiliate of the Company’s Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. From the period from November 10, 2020 to November 12, 2020, the Company incurred and accrued $1,000 of administrative service fee.

 

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

 

 

Underwriters Agreement

 

The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,350,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $1,575,000. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $236,250 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full which will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a Business Combination marketing fee of 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

The Company issued to the underwriter (and/or its designees) (the “Representative”) 75,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares for $0.01 per share (the “Representative Shares”). The Company estimated the fair value of the stock to be $750 based upon the price of the founder shares issued to the Sponsor. The stock were treated as underwriters’ compensation and charged directly to shareholders’ equity. The underwriter (and/or its designees) agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

In addition, the Company issued to the Representative a warrant to purchase up to 450,000 Class A ordinary shares. Such warrants will not be redeemable for as long as they are held by the Representative and they may not be exercised after five years from the Effective Date of the registration statement. Except as described above, the warrants are identical to those underlying the units offered by in the IPO. The Company estimated the fair value of the Representative Warrants is $409,500 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was charged to shareholders' equity as cost of capital raise. The fair value of the Representative Warrants to granted to the underwriters is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 21.44%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.40% and (3) expected life of five years. The expected volatility was determined by the Company based on the historical volatilities of a set of comparative special purpose acquisition companies (“SPAC”), and the risk-fee interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for time period equals to the expected life of the Representative Warrants. 

 

Open Market Purchases

 

The Sponsor has agreed to enter into an agreement in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, to place limit orders, through an independent broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act which is not affiliated with the Company nor part of the underwriting or selling group, to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,750,000 of the Company’s rights in the open market at market prices, and not to exceed $0.20 per right during the period commencing on the later of (i) the date separate trading of the rights commences or (ii) sixty calendar days after the end of the “restricted period” under Regulation M, continuing until the date that is the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from the date of the IPO and (b) the date that the Company announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination, or earlier in certain circumstances as described in the limit order agreement. The limit orders will require the Sponsor to purchase any rights offered for sale (and not purchased by another investor) at or below a price of $0.20, until the earlier of (x) the expiration of the buyback period or (y) the date such purchases reach 3,750,000 rights in total. The Sponsor will not have any discretion or influence with respect to such purchases and will not be able to sell or transfer any rights purchased in the open market pursuant to such agreements until following the consummation of a Business Combination. It is intended that the broker’s purchase obligation will be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which may prohibit or limit purchases pursuant to the limit order agreement in certain circumstances. The Representative has also agreed to purchase up to 1,250,000 of the Company’s rights in the open market at market prices not to exceed $0.20 per right, on substantially similar terms as the Sponsor.

 

Note 7 — Shareholder’s Equity

 

Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 preferred shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At November 12, 2020, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At November 12, 2020, there were 933,134 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 8,620,866 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

 

 

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. In September 2020, the Sponsor subscribed 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, in connection with formation. On November 9, 2020, the founders surrendered an aggregate of 287,500 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 2,587,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding at November 12, 2020. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender of these shares. The founder shares include an aggregate of up to 337,500 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters in full.

 

The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at the time of its initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

 

Holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, with each share of ordinary shares entitling the holder to one vote. However, prior to our initial business combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote to elect directors.

 

Warrants — Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per share of Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Value.

 

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or upon completion of its initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A ordinary shares underlying such unit.

 

 

The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants, and any outstanding Representative’s Warrants, and any warrants underlying units issued to the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

 

●

at any time while the warrants are exercisable,

 

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

 

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and

 

●

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day until the date of redemption.

 

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If the management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

 

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Class A ordinary shares underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of share of Class A ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into Class A ordinary shares basis.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands law. As a result, the holders of the rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
