| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition of Disposition of Assets. |
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Closing, by:
| · | each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination; |
| · | each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and |
| · | all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group upon the Closing. |
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and restricted stock units that are currently exercisable or vested or that will become exercisable or vest within 60 days. This table is based upon information supplied by officers, directors and principal stockholders and Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, the Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them. The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on approximately 97,924,743 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date.
