Pursuant to the Charter, the Company has until February 24, 2015 to consummate an initial business combination. The Company's failure to consummate a business combination by such date will trigger the automatic redemption of the Public Shares. The Charter requires that the Company redeem the Public Shares, no more than ten business days after such date, for a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Company's trust account divided by the number of outstanding Public Shares. The per-share redemption price will be $10.52619. The Charter further requires that, as promptly as practicable, the Company cease all operations except for the purpose of completing such redemption and any winding up of the Company's affairs.
The Public Shares will cease trading as of the open of business on February 20, 2015, in order to allow time for the settlement of trades. As of the close of business on February 24, 2015, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount. The redemption amount will be payable to the holders of record of the Public Shares (including the Public Shares included in the Company's units) upon presentation of their stock or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or units. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in "street name," however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount.
There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company's initial shareholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding ordinary shares issued prior to the Company's initial public offering.
In connection with the previously disclosed delisting of the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), the Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate the Company's registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Upon effectiveness of the delisting, the Company expects to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of completing the suspension of its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
