Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities
On
May 22, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 650,000 Private Placement
Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $6,500,000.
The Private Placement Units are substantially identical to the units sold as part of the units in the Public Offering (as described
below), except that our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units (except to certain
permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of our Business Combination. The Private Placement Units are also not
redeemable by us so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, and they may be exercised by our Sponsor
and its permitted transferees on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Units were issued in connection with our incorporation
pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
Use
of Proceeds
On
May 22, 2020, we consummated the Public Offering of 17,500,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock
of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, and only whole warrants are
exercisable. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our Business Combination and
12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of our Business Combination
or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Subject to certain terms and conditions, we may redeem the warrants either for cash
once the warrants become exercisable or for shares of our Class A Common Stock commencing 90 days after the warrants become
exercisable.
The
units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $175,000,000. B. Riley FBR, Inc. served
as the sole book-running manager for the offering. The securities sold in the Public Offering were registered under the Securities
Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-237812). The SEC declared the registration statements
effective on May 20, 2020.
We
paid a total of $3,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $523,135 for other costs and expenses related to the
Public Offering. B. Riley FBR, Inc., an underwriter in the Public Offering, and an affiliate of us and our Sponsor (which Sponsor
beneficially owns more than 10% of our common stock) received a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions related
to the Public Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and incurred offering costs, the total
net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was approximately $177,439,000, of which
$176,750,000 (or $10.10 per unit sold in the Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. We also repaid $100,000 in
noninterest bearing loans made to us by our Sponsor to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. Other than as described
above, no payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their
associates, or to our affiliates.
