Private Placements 1.3.1 In August 2019, the Company issued to Greenrose Associates LLC (the “Sponsor”) an aggregate of 4,312,500 Shares (the “Insider Shares”) in a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). No underwriting discounts, commissions, or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the sale of the Insider Shares. The Insider Shares shall be held in escrow and subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined in Section 2.24.3 below). The Sponsor shall have no right to any liquidation distributions with respect to any portion of the Insider Shares in the event the Company fails to consummate any proposed initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar business combination, or entering into contractual arrangements with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”) within the required time period. The Sponsor shall not have conversion rights with respect to the Insider Shares nor shall the Sponsor be entitled to sell such Insider Shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with a proposed Business Combination. If the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised by the Underwriters in full or in part, the Sponsor shall forfeit such number of Insider Shares, up to a maximum of 562,500 Insider Shares, as is necessary to maintain the Sponsor’s 20% beneficial ownership in the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Offering and the exercise, if any, of the Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option but excluding the issuance of the Private Units and the purchase of any shares in the Offering.
1.3.2 Simultaneously with the Closing Date, the Sponsor and the Representative (and/or their designees) will purchase from the Company pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined in Section 2.24.2 below), (i) an aggregate of 200,000 Units and 100,000 Units, respectively (the “Private Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit and (ii) an aggregate of 1,000,000 Warrants and 500,00 Warrants, respectively (the “Private Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, in each case in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) intended to be exempt from registration under the Act. The terms of the Private Units and Private Warrants are as described in the Prospectus (as defined in Section 2.1.1 below). No underwriting discounts, commissions or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the Private Placement. The Sponsor and the Representative have also agreed that, in the event the Representative has exercised the Over-allotment Option, they will purchase up to 20,000 and 10,000 additional Private Units, respectively, and up to 100,000 and 50,000 additional Private Warrants, respectively, and the Company shall cause to be deposited an amount of additional proceeds from the sale of such additional Private Units and Private Warrants into the Trust Fund such that the amount of funds in the Trust Fund shall be $10.00 per Public Share sold in the Offering. The purchase price for the Private Units and Private Warrants shall have been delivered to CST&T or counsel for the Company or the Representative to hold in a separate escrow account at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date hereof so that such funds are readily available to be delivered to the Trust Account on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.
