WHEREAS, the Corporation has sought the approval of its Public Stockholders at a meeting of its stockholders to: (i) extend the date by which the Corporation must complete a business combination from February 17, 2019 to June 17, 2019 (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if the Corporation has not completed a business combination from February 17, 2019 to June 17, 2019 (the “Trust Amendment”);
WHEREAS, holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of common stock approved the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to, among other things, reflect amendments to the Original Agreement contemplated by the Trust Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Amendment of Trust Agreement. Section 1(i) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only (x) after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter from the Corporation (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B signed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Corporation, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which
interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $50,000 to the Corporation to pay dissolution expenses, it being understood that the Trustee has no obligation to monitor or question the Corporation’s position that an allocation has been made for taxes payable), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein or (y) on June 17, 2019, if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the trust account deposits (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable and less up to $50,000 to the Corporation to pay dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date; provided, however, that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by June 17, 2019, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Stockholders;”
