Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
from Registered Securities
On October 30, 2017,
the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 18,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each
Unit consists of one ordinary share (the “Ordinary Shares”), one-half of a redeemable warrant, and one right
to receive 1/10 of an Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at
an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $180,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day option to purchase up to 2,700,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (“Private Placement”) with Shareholder Value Fund, our
sponsor (“Sponsor”), of 475,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit,
generating total proceeds of $4,750,000. Subsequently, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part and, on
November 3, 2017, the underwriters purchased 2,636,293 over-allotment option Units, which were sold at an offering price of
$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $26,362,930. On November 3, 2017, simultaneously with the sale of the
over-allotment units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 52,726 Private Units, generating gross
proceeds of $527,260. On November 3, 2017, the underwriters canceled the remainder of the over-allotment option. In
connection with the cancellation of the remainder of the over-allotment option, the Company canceled an aggregate of 15,927
ordinary shares issued to Shareholder Value Fund, the Company’s sponsor, prior to the IPO and Private Placement. . As
of November 3, 2017, a total of $ 206,362,930 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in the IPO (including the
over-allotment) and the Private Placements were in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s
public shareholders.
The Private Units are identical
to the Units sold in the IPO except that the warrants included in the Price Units will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on
a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Additionally, because
the Private Units were issued in a private transaction, our Sponsor and its permitted transferees will be allowed to exercise the
warrants included in the Private Units for cash even if a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise
of such warrants is not effective and receive unregistered Ordinary Shares. Furthermore, our Sponsor has agreed (A) to vote the
Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Units, or “private shares,” in favor of any proposed business combination, (B)
not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would
stop our public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to us in connection with a business combination or affect
the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete a business combination within
15 months from the closing of the IPO (or 18 months, as applicable) unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity
to convert their public shares in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for cash from the trust
account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions
of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination
activity and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination
is not consummated. Our Sponsor has also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities
(except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions
as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of our initial
business combination.
As of November 3, 2017, a
total of $206,362,930 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the
over-allotment) and the Private Placements were in a trust account established for the
benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.
We paid a total of $4,127,259
in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including the 3.5% underwriting commission payable at the consummation
of initial business combination) and $881,326 for other costs and expenses related to the IPO.
For a description of the use
of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
