−Removed: Nasdaq Delisting Notification

−Removed: The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent
−Removed: delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of our securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
−Removed: The Notice stated that we
−Removed: had 45 calendar days, or until February 26, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Stockholders Meeting Rule.
−Removed: expect to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Stockholders Meeting Rule within the required timeframe, but there
−Removed: can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
−Removed: Sponsors and Competitive Advantages
−Removed: believe that the combination of a high-quality management team with extensive operational, financial, merger and acquisition, and
−Removed: public company experience, combined with the resources of a high quality investment bank focused on evaluating and assisting quality
−Removed: private companies to access the public markets, is an attractive format.
−Removed: It is particularly important that our management team and our
−Removed: sponsor have successfully worked together in the past.
−Removed: It is also important that our sponsor, management team and directors have deep
−Removed: experience, contacts and relationships in the healthcare sector.
−Removed: Opportunity &
−Removed: Acquisition Target Criteria
−Removed: will seek to acquire small cap businesses in the biopharmaceutical, medical technology/device industries or diagnostic and other services
−Removed: We believe these industries are attractive for a number of reasons, including:
−Removed: they represent attractive markets, which are characterized
−Removed: by a high level of innovation and they include a large number of emerging high growth companies that have the right size as potential
−Removed: believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses.
−Removed: As an existing public company, we
−Removed: offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination.
−Removed: this situation, the owners of the target business would exchange their shares of stock in the target business for shares of our stock
−Removed: or for a combination of shares of our stock and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers.
−Removed: believe target businesses might find this method a more certain and cost-effective method to becoming a public company than the
−Removed: typical initial public offering.
−Removed: Furthermore, once the business combination is consummated, the target business will have effectively
−Removed: become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well
−Removed: as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring.
−Removed: Once public, we believe the target business should then
−Removed: have greater access to capital and an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with stockholders’ interests
−Removed: than it would have as a privately held company.
−Removed: It can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential
−Removed: new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.
−Removed: we believe that our status as a public company will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view
−Removed: the inherent limitations in our status as a blank check company as a deterrent and may prefer to affect a business combination with a
−Removed: more established entity or with a private company.
−Removed: These inherent limitations include limitations on our available financial resources,
−Removed: which may be inferior to those of other entities pursuing the acquisition of similar target businesses;
−Removed: the requirement that we seek
−Removed: stockholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer in relation thereto, which may delay the consummation of a transaction;
−Removed: and the existence of our outstanding rights and warrants, which may represent a source of future dilution.
−Removed: Acquisition Process
−Removed: evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review that will encompass, among other things,
−Removed: meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial and other
−Removed: information that will be made available to us.
−Removed: In conducting our due diligence review, we intend to leverage the experience of members
−Removed: of our management team, directors, sponsors and advisors on an efficient and cost-effective basis as we deploy them to review matters
−Removed: related to their specific areas of functional expertise.
−Removed: are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our advisors or our sponsor,
−Removed: officers or directors.
−Removed: In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our officers
−Removed: or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is
−Removed: a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent accounting firm that our initial business combination
−Removed: is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
−Removed: of our management team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own founder shares and/or private placement warrants following
−Removed: our initial public offering and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is
−Removed: an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
−Removed: Further, each of our officers and directors may have
−Removed: a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination target if the retention or resignation of any such
−Removed: officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: long as we maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses
−Removed: that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding
−Removed: taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: If our board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses,
−Removed: we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with
−Removed: respect to the satisfaction of such criteria.
−Removed: Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial business combination must be approved
−Removed: by a majority of our independent directors.
−Removed: anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own
−Removed: shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure our
−Removed: initial business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets
−Removed: of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons.
−Removed: we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding
−Removed: voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register
−Removed: as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction company
−Removed: owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the business combination may collectively
−Removed: own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the
−Removed: outstanding capital stock of a target.
−Removed: In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target.
−Removed: However, as a result
−Removed: of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own
−Removed: less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests
−Removed: or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business
−Removed: or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test.
−Removed: If the business combination
−Removed: involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses
−Removed: and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder
−Removed: approval, as applicable.
−Removed: have funds available in the Trust Account for a business combination of approximately $9.3 million, as of December 31, 2023, assuming
−Removed: no further redemptions.
−Removed: This amount includes up to $6,986,250 of the business combination marketing fee payable to I-Bankers and Dawson James,
−Removed: of which $1,921,219 would be payable in cash and $5,065,031 would be payable in NorthView Common Stock at the Closing.
−Removed: Assuming a share
−Removed: price of $10.00 for the NorthView Common Stock, the number of shares to be issued in connection with the business combination marketing
−Removed: fee would be 506,503 shares of NorthView Common Stock.
−Removed: Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash,
−Removed: debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will
−Removed: allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.
−Removed: of Business Diversification
−Removed: an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely
−Removed: on the future performance of a single business.
−Removed: other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable
−Removed: that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business.
−Removed: By completing
−Removed: our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

+Added: was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
+Added: Initial Business Combination
+Added: So long as we maintain a listing
+Added: for our securities on Nasdaq, our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate
+Added: fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the interest
+Added: earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination.
+Added: our board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion
+Added: from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction
+Added: of such criteria.
+Added: Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial business combination must be approved by a majority of our independent
+Added: We anticipate structuring
+Added: our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own or acquire
+Added: 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
+Added: We may, however, structure our initial business combination
+Added: such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to
+Added: meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons.
+Added: However, we will only complete such business
+Added: combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise
+Added: acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment
+Added: Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
+Added: Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the
+Added: voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction
+Added: company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction.
+Added: For example, we could pursue a
+Added: transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target.
+Added: this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target.
+Added: However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of
+Added: new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares
+Added: subsequent to our initial business combination.
+Added: If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses
+Added: are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will
+Added: be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test.
+Added: If the business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net
+Added: assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses and we will treat the target businesses together as the
+Added: initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.
+Added: Financial Position
+Added: We had funds available in
+Added: the Trust Account for a business combination of approximately $8.3 million, as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: On March 21, 2025, the Company’s
+Added: stockholders elected to redeem 532,958 public shares of Common Stock in connection with the extension of our business combination
+Added: period for up to three months, from March 22, 2025, ultimately until as late as June 22, 2025.
+Added: In connection with this
+Added: extension, the Company is required to make a one-time contribution of $30,000 to the Trust Account for the entire extension period, which
+Added: occurred on March 21, 2025.
+Added: Following the extension, we have available funds in the Trust Account of approximately $1.9 million as of
+Added: March 21, 2025.
+Added: This amount includes $2.0 million of the business combination marketing fee payable to I-Bankers and Dawson James, payable
+Added: in cash upon the Closing of our business combination with Profusa.
+Added: As the business combination marketing fee exceeds the funds available
+Added: in the Trust Account, the Company is expected to use proceeds from a private financing to pay a portion of the business combination marketing
+Added: fee at the closing of the business combination.
+Added: Lack of Business Diversification
+Added: For an indefinite period of
+Added: time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance
+Added: of a single business.
+Added: Unlike other entities that
+Added: have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will
+Added: not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business.
+Added: By completing our initial
+Added: business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular

us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

+Added: up to nine months, from March 22, 2023, ultimately until as late as December 22, 2023.
+Added: Separately, on December 21, 2023, the NorthView
+Added: stockholders elected to redeem 140,663 public shares of NorthView Common Stock in connection with a shareholder meeting, related to the
+Added: extension of NorthView’s business combination period monthly, for up to three months, from December 22, 2023, ultimately until as

+Added: Additionally, the NorthView stockholders elected to redeem 95,394 public shares of NorthView Common Stock in connection
+Added: with a shareholder meeting on March 21, 2024, related to the extension of NorthView’s business combination period monthly,
+Added: for up to six months, from March 22, 2024, ultimately until as late as September 22, 2024.
+Added: On September 19, 2024,
+Added: the NorthView stockholders elected to redeem 50,556 public shares of NorthView Common Stock in connection with the extension of NorthView’s
+Added: business combination period monthly, for up to six months, from September 22, 2024, ultimately until as late as March 22,
+Added: On March 21, 2025, the NorthView stockholders elected to redeem 532,958 public shares of NorthView Common Stock in connection with
+Added: the extension of NorthView’s business combination period from March 22, 2025, until as late as June 22, 2025.
+Added: At the time of the
+Added: stockholder vote on March 21, 2025, NorthView’s stockholders redeemed 9.1% of the total outstanding shares.
+Added: The aggregate of 18,820,439
+Added: public shares redeemed in connection with the Extension represented approximately 77.9% of the total NorthView shares of common stock
+Added: outstanding following NorthView’s IPO and approximately 99.2% of the public shares previously outstanding.
+Added: In connection with this
+Added: extensions, NorthView or its designee to contributed funds to the Trust Account.
+Added: Any such payments have been and will be made in the form
+Added: Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination.
+Added: If we complete
+Added: our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us.
+Added: not complete a business combination, we will not repay such loans.
+Added: Furthermore, the letter agreement with our initial stockholders contains
+Added: a provision pursuant to which our sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the Trust
+Added: Account in the event that we do not complete a business combination.
+Added: In the event that we receive notice from our sponsor five days prior
+Added: to the applicable deadline of its wish for us to effect an extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such intention at
+Added: least three days prior to the applicable deadline.
+Added: In addition, we intend to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline
+Added: announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited.
+Added: Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the
+Added: Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination.
+Added: If we choose to extend the period of time to consummate
+Added: a business combination as set forth herein, you will not have the ability to vote or redeem your shares of common stock in connection
+Added: with either of the three-month extensions.
+Added: However, if we seek to complete a business combination during an extension period, investors
+Added: will still be able to vote and redeem their shares of common stock in connection with that business combination.
+Added: See “Recent Developments
+Added: - Extension Meeting” above for information about our extension of the combination period from our shareholders.
+Added: Manner of Conducting Redemptions
+Added: We will provide our public
+Added: stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of common stock upon the completion of our initial business
+Added: combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender
+Added: The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will
+Added: be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the
+Added: terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement.
+Added: rules, asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where
+Added: we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated
+Added: certificate of incorporation would require stockholder approval.
+Added: We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the
+Added: tender offer rules of the SEC unless stockholder approval is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement or we choose to seek
+Added: stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons.
+Added: So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we
+Added: would be required to comply with such rules.
+Added: If a stockholder vote is not
+Added: required and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
+Added: certificate of incorporation:
the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial
−Removed: and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the
−Removed: Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
−Removed: the public announcement of our initial business combination, we or our initial stockholders will terminate any plan established in accordance
−Removed: with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through
−Removed: a tender offer, to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days,
−Removed: in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination
−Removed: until the expiration of the tender offer period.
−Removed: In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering
−Removed: more than a specified number of public shares which are not purchased by our initial stockholders, which number will be based on the
−Removed: requirement that we may not redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 both
−Removed: immediately before and after the consummation of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny
−Removed: stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and
−Removed: not complete the initial business combination.
−Removed: however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain stockholder
−Removed: approval for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:
+Added: and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange
+Added: Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
+Added: Upon the public announcement
+Added: of our initial business combination, we or our initial stockholders will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1
+Added: to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through a tender offer, to comply with
+Added: Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
+Added: In the event we conduct redemptions
+Added: pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a)
+Added: under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender
+Added: offer period.
+Added: In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering more than a specified number of
+Added: public shares which are not purchased by our initial stockholders.
+Added: If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to
+Added: purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.
+Added: If, however, stockholder approval
+Added: of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business
+Added: or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:
the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation
1 unchanged sentence
proxy materials with the SEC.
−Removed: the event that we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection
−Removed: therewith, provide our public stockholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common
−Removed: stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination.
−Removed: A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or
−Removed: by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares
−Removed: of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting.
−Removed: Our sponsor, executive officers and directors will count toward this
−Removed: quorum and have agreed to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor
−Removed: of our initial business combination.
−Removed: These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our sponsor, executive officers
−Removed: and directors may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination.
−Removed: Each public stockholder may elect to
−Removed: redeem its public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
−Removed: In addition, our sponsor, officers
−Removed: and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with
−Removed: respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of a business combination.
−Removed: amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would
−Removed: cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 both immediately before and after the consummation of our initial business combination
−Removed: (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules).
−Removed: Redemptions of our public shares may also be subject
−Removed: to a higher net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to our initial business combination.
−Removed: the proposed business combination may require:
−Removed: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to
−Removed: be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other
−Removed: conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed business combination.
−Removed: In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would
−Removed: be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash
−Removed: conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not
−Removed: complete the business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the
−Removed: holders thereof.
−Removed: on redemption upon completion of our initial business combination if we seek stockholder approval
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the foregoing, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with
−Removed: our business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public
−Removed: stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as
−Removed: a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with
−Removed: respect to Excess Shares.
−Removed: We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent
−Removed: attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means
−Removed: to force us, our initial stockholders or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market
−Removed: price or on other undesirable terms.
−Removed: Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding an aggregate of 15% or more of the shares sold
−Removed: in our initial public offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us,
−Removed: our initial stockholders or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms.
−Removed: our stockholders’ ability to redeem to less than 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, we believe we will limit
−Removed: the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our business combination, particularly
−Removed: in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
−Removed: amount of cash.
−Removed: However, we would not be restricting our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares)
−Removed: for or against our business combination.
−Removed: stock certificates in connection with a tender offer or redemption rights
−Removed: may require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares
−Removed: in “street name,” to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer
−Removed: documents mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination in
−Removed: the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s
−Removed: DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option.
−Removed: The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that
−Removed: we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring
−Removed: public stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements.
−Removed: Accordingly, a public stockholder would have from the time we send out our
−Removed: tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the business combination
−Removed: if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights.
−Removed: relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for stockholders to use electronic delivery of their public shares.
−Removed: is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them
−Removed: through the DWAC System.
−Removed: The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not
−Removed: to pass the cost on to the redeeming holder.
−Removed: However, the fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking
−Removed: to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares.
−Removed: The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless
−Removed: of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
−Removed: foregoing is different from the procedures used by some blank check companies.
−Removed: In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with
−Removed: their business combinations, many blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the stockholders’ vote on an initial
−Removed: business combination, and a holder could simply vote against a proposed business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating
−Removed: such holder was seeking to exercise his or her redemption rights.
−Removed: After the business combination was approved, the company would contact
−Removed: such stockholder to arrange for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership.
−Removed: As a result, the stockholder then had
−Removed: an “option window” after the completion of the business combination during which he or she could monitor the price of the
−Removed: company’s stock in the market.
−Removed: If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or her shares in the open
−Removed: market before actually delivering his or her shares to the company for cancellation.
−Removed: As a result, the redemption rights, to which stockholders
−Removed: were aware they needed to commit before the stockholder meeting, would become “option” rights surviving past the completion
−Removed: of the business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate.
−Removed: The requirement for physical or electronic delivery
−Removed: prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming holder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved.
−Removed: request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the tender offer materials or the
−Removed: date of the stockholder meeting set forth in our proxy materials, as applicable.
−Removed: Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered
−Removed: its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect
−Removed: to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).
−Removed: It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed
−Removed: promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public stockholders who elected to exercise their
−Removed: redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account.
−Removed: In such case,
−Removed: we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
−Removed: our initial business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target
−Removed: until the end of the combination period.
−Removed: of public shares and liquidation if no initial business combination
−Removed: will have only until the end of the combination period to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our
−Removed: initial business combination within the combination period, we will:
−Removed: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
−Removed: up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price,
−Removed: payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest
−Removed: to pay dissolution expenses, which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which
−Removed: redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation
−Removed: distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
−Removed: to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations
−Removed: under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
−Removed: There will be no redemption rights
−Removed: or liquidating distributions with respect to our rights and warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial
−Removed: business combination within the combination period.
−Removed: initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder
−Removed: shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the combination period.
−Removed: However, if our initial stockholders acquire
−Removed: public shares in or after our initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with
−Removed: respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted combination period.
−Removed: sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written letter agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment
−Removed: to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem
−Removed: 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period or (ii) with respect
−Removed: to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless we provide our public
−Removed: stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price,
−Removed: payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net
−Removed: of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.
−Removed: However, we may not redeem our public shares in an amount
−Removed: that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 both immediately before and after the consummation of our initial
−Removed: business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules).
−Removed: If this optional redemption right
−Removed: is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described
−Removed: above), we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our public shares at such time.
−Removed: expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be
−Removed: funded from amounts remaining out of the proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient
−Removed: funds for such purpose.
−Removed: However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan
−Removed: of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee
−Removed: to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
−Removed: we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement, other than the proceeds deposited
−Removed: in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount
−Removed: received by stockholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.10.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however,
−Removed: become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders.
−Removed: assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.10.
−Removed: Section 281(b) of the DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision
−Removed: for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets.
−Removed: These claims must be paid or provided for before we make
−Removed: any distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders.
−Removed: While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that
−Removed: we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
−Removed: we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute
−Removed: agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit
−Removed: of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that
−Removed: they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of
−Removed: fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order
−Removed: to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account.
−Removed: If any third party refuses
−Removed: to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives
−Removed: available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such
−Removed: third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
−Removed: Examples of possible instances where
−Removed: we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise
−Removed: or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver
−Removed: or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
−Removed: In addition, there is no guarantee that
−Removed: such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts
−Removed: or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason.
−Removed: In order to protect the amounts held in the
−Removed: trust account, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered
−Removed: or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the
−Removed: amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the
−Removed: trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net
−Removed: of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any
−Removed: and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial
−Removed: public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: In the event that an executed waiver is
−Removed: deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
−Removed: We have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, and our sponsor’s only assets are securities of
−Removed: Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
−Removed: We believe the likelihood of
−Removed: our sponsor having to indemnify the trust account is limited because we will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses
−Removed: as well as other entities execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in
−Removed: the trust account.
−Removed: the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public
−Removed: share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets,
−Removed: in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy
−Removed: its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors
−Removed: would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.
−Removed: While we currently expect
−Removed: that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to
−Removed: us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance.
−Removed: Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be
−Removed: substantially less than $10.10 per share.
−Removed: will seek to reduce the possibility that our sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring
−Removed: to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements
−Removed: with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.
−Removed: Our sponsor will also not
−Removed: be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including
−Removed: liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: We will not have significant funds remaining from the proceeds of our initial public offering with
−Removed: which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated
−Removed: to be no more than approximately $100,000).
−Removed: In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims
−Removed: and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
−Removed: the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by
−Removed: them in a dissolution.
−Removed: The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public
−Removed: shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period may be considered a liquidation
−Removed: distribution under Delaware law.
−Removed: If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended
−Removed: to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims
−Removed: can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional
−Removed: 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect
−Removed: to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed
−Removed: to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
−Removed: if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event
−Removed: we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period, is not considered a liquidation distribution under
−Removed: Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a
−Removed: party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute
−Removed: of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as
−Removed: in the case of a liquidation distribution.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the combination period,
−Removed: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
−Removed: than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
−Removed: then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and less
−Removed: up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will
−Removed: completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
−Removed: if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval
−Removed: of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware
−Removed: law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
−Removed: Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public
−Removed: shares as soon as reasonably possible following the combination period and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures.
−Removed: As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and
−Removed: any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.
−Removed: we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to
−Removed: us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against
−Removed: us within the subsequent 10 years.
−Removed: However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations
−Removed: will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors
−Removed: (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.
−Removed: As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained
−Removed: in our underwriting agreement, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with
−Removed: which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the
−Removed: trust account.
−Removed: a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that
−Removed: would result in any liability extending to the trust account is remote.
−Removed: Further, our sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary
−Removed: to ensure that the amounts in the trust account are not reduced below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per
−Removed: public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust
−Removed: assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes, and will not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity
−Removed: of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent
−Removed: of any liability for such third-party claims.
−Removed: we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the
−Removed: trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of
−Removed: third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders.
−Removed: To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot
−Removed: assure you we will be able to return $10.10 per share to our public stockholders.
−Removed: Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an
−Removed: involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed
−Removed: under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.”
−Removed: As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders.
−Removed: Furthermore, our board may be
−Removed: viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our
−Removed: company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
−Removed: public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of:
−Removed: (i) the completion
−Removed: of our initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder
−Removed: vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem
−Removed: 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period or (B) with respect
−Removed: to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption
−Removed: of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the combination period, subject to applicable
−Removed: In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.
−Removed: In the event we
−Removed: seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business
−Removed: combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account.
−Removed: Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above.
−Removed: currently have two executive officers.
−Removed: Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our
−Removed: matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business
−Removed: The amount of time that any member of our management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target
−Removed: business has been selected for our initial business combination and the current stage of the business combination process.
−Removed: Reporting and Financial Information
−Removed: have registered our common stock, rights, and warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement
−Removed: that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC.
−Removed: In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual
−Removed: reports will contain consolidated financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public auditors.
−Removed: will provide stockholders with audited consolidated financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the tender offer
−Removed: materials or proxy solicitation materials sent to stockholders to assist them in assessing the target business.
−Removed: In all likelihood, these
−Removed: consolidated financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with GAAP.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that any particular target business
−Removed: identified by us as a potential acquisition candidate will have consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP or
−Removed: that the potential target business will be able to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
−Removed: To the extent
−Removed: that this requirement cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business.
−Removed: While this may limit the pool of potential
−Removed: acquisition candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
+Added: In the event that we seek
+Added: stockholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our
+Added: public stockholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
+Added: If we seek stockholder approval,
+Added: we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor
+Added: of the business combination.
+Added: A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding
+Added: capital stock of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled
+Added: to vote at such meeting.
+Added: Our sponsor, executive officers and directors will count toward this quorum and have agreed to vote their founder
+Added: shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination.
+Added: quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our sponsor, executive officers and directors may make it more likely that
+Added: we will consummate our initial business combination.
+Added: Each public stockholder may elect to redeem its public shares irrespective of whether
+Added: they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
+Added: In addition, our sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement
+Added: with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in
+Added: connection with the completion of a business combination.
+Added: Redemptions of our public
+Added: shares may also be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to our initial business
+Added: For example, the proposed business combination may require:
+Added: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners,
+Added: (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy
+Added: other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed business combination.
+Added: In the event the aggregate cash consideration we
+Added: would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy
+Added: cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will
+Added: not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned
+Added: to the holders thereof.
+Added: Limitation on redemption upon completion of
+Added: our initial business combination if we seek stockholder approval
+Added: Notwithstanding the foregoing,
+Added: if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our business
+Added: combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder,
+Added: together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
+Added: (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to Excess Shares.
+Added: believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders
+Added: to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us, our initial stockholders
+Added: or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms.
+Added: this provision, a public stockholder holding an aggregate of 15% or more of the shares sold in our initial public offering could threaten
+Added: to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our initial stockholders or our management at
+Added: a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms.
+Added: By limiting our stockholders’ ability to redeem to less
+Added: than 15% of the shares sold in our initial public offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably
+Added: attempt to block our ability to complete our business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target
+Added: that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash.
+Added: However, we would not be restricting
+Added: our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our business combination.
+Added: Tendering stock certificates in connection
+Added: with a tender offer or redemption rights
+Added: We may require our public
+Added: stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,”
+Added: to either tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holders,
+Added: or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials,
+Added: or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian)
+Added: System, at the holder’s option.
+Added: The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public
+Added: shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public stockholders to satisfy such
+Added: delivery requirements.
+Added: Accordingly, a public stockholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close
+Added: of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the business combination if we distribute proxy materials,
+Added: as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights.
+Added: Given the relatively short exercise period,
+Added: it is advisable for stockholders to use electronic delivery of their public shares.
+Added: There is a nominal cost associated
+Added: with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System.
+Added: agent will typically charge the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass the cost on to the redeeming
+Added: However, the fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender
+Added: their shares.
+Added: The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery
+Added: must be effectuated.
+Added: The foregoing is different
+Added: from the procedures used by some blank check companies.
+Added: In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations,
+Added: many blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the stockholders’ vote on an initial business combination, and a
+Added: holder could simply vote against a proposed business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder was seeking
+Added: to exercise his or her redemption rights.
+Added: After the business combination was approved, the company would contact such stockholder to arrange
+Added: for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership.
+Added: As a result, the stockholder then had an “option window”
+Added: after the completion of the business combination during which he or she could monitor the price of the company’s stock in the market.
+Added: If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or her shares in the open market before actually delivering his
+Added: or her shares to the company for cancellation.
+Added: As a result, the redemption rights, to which stockholders were aware they needed to commit
+Added: before the stockholder meeting, would become “option” rights surviving past the completion of the business combination until
+Added: the redeeming holder delivered its certificate.
+Added: The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the meeting ensures that
+Added: a redeeming holder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved.
+Added: Any request to redeem such
+Added: shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the tender offer materials or the date of the stockholder
+Added: meeting set forth in our proxy materials, as applicable.
+Added: Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection
+Added: with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such
+Added: holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).
+Added: It is anticipated that the funds
+Added: to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of
+Added: our initial business combination.
+Added: If our initial business combination
+Added: is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be
+Added: entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account.
+Added: In such case, we will promptly return any certificates
+Added: delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
+Added: If our initial business combination
+Added: is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target until the end of the combination period.
+Added: Redemption of public shares and liquidation
+Added: if no initial business combination
+Added: We will have only until the
+Added: end of the combination period to complete our initial business combination.
+Added: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination
+Added: within the combination period, we will:
+Added: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably
+Added: possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
+Added: aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses,
+Added: which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely
+Added: extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any),
+Added: subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining
+Added: stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide
+Added: for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
+Added: There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions
+Added: with respect to our rights and warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the
+Added: combination period.
+Added: Our initial stockholders have
+Added: agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete
+Added: our initial business combination within the combination period.
+Added: However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares in or after
+Added: our initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares
+Added: if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted combination period.
+Added: Our sponsor, officers and
+Added: directors have agreed, pursuant to a written letter agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated
+Added: certificate of incorporation that would affect (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we
+Added: do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to
+Added: stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
+Added: their shares of common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
+Added: then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then
+Added: outstanding public shares.
+Added: We expect that all costs and
+Added: expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining
+Added: out of the proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.
+Added: However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the
+Added: extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us
+Added: an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
+Added: If we were to expend all of
+Added: the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and
+Added: without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon
+Added: our dissolution would be approximately $10.10.
+Added: The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims
+Added: of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders.
+Added: We cannot assure you that the actual per-share
+Added: redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.10.
+Added: Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, our plan of dissolution
+Added: must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are
+Added: sufficient assets.
+Added: These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders.
+Added: While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’
+Added: Although we will seek to
+Added: have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with
+Added: us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public
+Added: stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be
+Added: prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility
+Added: or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with
+Added: respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account.
+Added: If any third party refuses to execute an agreement
+Added: waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to
+Added: it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s
+Added: engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
+Added: Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third
+Added: party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed
+Added: by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management
+Added: is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
+Added: In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to
+Added: waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and
+Added: will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason.
+Added: In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, our sponsor
+Added: has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or
+Added: a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust
+Added: account to below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of
+Added: the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which
+Added: may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to
+Added: the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain
+Added: liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
+Added: In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against
+Added: a third party, then our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
+Added: We have not asked
+Added: our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, and our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company.
+Added: we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
+Added: We believe the likelihood of our sponsor having to
+Added: indemnify the trust account is limited because we will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses as well as other
+Added: entities execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.
+Added: In the event that the proceeds
+Added: in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account
+Added: as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount
+Added: of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations
+Added: or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take
+Added: legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.
+Added: While we currently expect that our independent directors
+Added: would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent
+Added: directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance.
+Added: Accordingly, we cannot assure you
+Added: that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.10 per share.
+Added: We will seek to reduce the
+Added: possibility that our sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service
+Added: providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title,
+Added: interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.
+Added: Our sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our
+Added: indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
+Added: We will not have significant funds remaining from the proceeds of our initial public offering with which to pay any such potential claims
+Added: (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000).
+Added: In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders
+Added: who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
+Added: Under the DGCL, stockholders
+Added: may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution.
+Added: The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event
+Added: we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware
+Added: If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable
+Added: provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation,
+Added: a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating
+Added: distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser
+Added: of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder
+Added: would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
+Added: Furthermore, if the pro rata
+Added: portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete
+Added: our initial business combination within the combination period, is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such
+Added: redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due
+Added: to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of
+Added: creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation
+Added: distribution.
+Added: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the combination period, we will:
+Added: (i) cease all operations
+Added: except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the
+Added: public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest
+Added: (net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
+Added: divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights
+Added: as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly
+Added: as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve
+Added: and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other
+Added: applicable law.
+Added: Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the combination
+Added: period and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures.
+Added: As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any
+Added: claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the
+Added: third anniversary of such date.
+Added: Because we will not be complying
+Added: with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for
+Added: our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years.
+Added: because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective
+Added: target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or
+Added: prospective target businesses.
+Added: As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in our underwriting agreement, we will seek to
+Added: have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with
+Added: us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account.
+Added: As a result of this obligation,
+Added: the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability
+Added: extending to the trust account is remote.
+Added: Further, our sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in
+Added: the trust account are not reduced below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account
+Added: as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount
+Added: of interest withdrawn to pay taxes, and will not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public
+Added: offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
+Added: In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to
+Added: be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
+Added: If we file a bankruptcy petition
+Added: or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject
+Added: to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over
+Added: the claims of our stockholders.
+Added: To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to
+Added: return $10.10 per share to our public stockholders.
+Added: Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition
+Added: is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor
+Added: and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy
+Added: court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders.
+Added: Furthermore, our board may be viewed as having breached
+Added: its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive
+Added: damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
+Added: We cannot assure you that claims
+Added: will not be brought against us for these reasons.
+Added: Our public stockholders will
+Added: be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of:
+Added: (i) the completion of our initial business combination,
+Added: (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate
+Added: of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our
+Added: initial business combination within the combination period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
+Added: rights or pre-business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial
+Added: business combination within the combination period, subject to applicable law.
+Added: In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right
+Added: or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.
+Added: In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business
+Added: combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming
+Added: its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account.
+Added: Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights
+Added: described above.
+Added: We currently have two executive
+Added: Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote
+Added: as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination.
+Added: The amount of time
+Added: that any member of our management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for
+Added: our initial business combination and the current stage of the business combination process.
+Added: Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
+Added: We have registered our common
+Added: stock, rights, and warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly
+Added: and current reports with the SEC.
+Added: In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports will contain consolidated
+Added: financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public auditors.
+Added: We will provide stockholders
+Added: with audited consolidated financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation
+Added: materials sent to stockholders to assist them in assessing the target business.
